Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
In “How many hours does it take to make a friend?” (2018), Jeffrey A. Hall describes the types of
encounters that build a friendship.
His study found that hours of time spent together was linked with closer friendships, as was time
spent enjoying leisure activities together. Specifically, he found that the chance of making a “casual
friend,” as opposed to a mere acquaintance, was greater than 50 percent when people spent
Trang 2/5- Mã đề thi 407


approximately 43 hours together within three weeks of meeting. He further found that casual friends
evolve into friends at some point between 57 hours after three weeks, and 164 hours over three
months. Hall's research also demonstrated, however, that when it comes to time spent developing

friendships, quality is more important than quantity. And when it comes to conversation, topics matter.
When it comes to building quality relationships, the duration of conversation is not as important as the
content. Meaningful conversation is the key to bonding with others.
Hall found that when it comes to developing friendships, sharing daily life through catching up
and joking around promotes closeness; small talk does not. Consider the inane topics that often come
up when you are trapped in an elevator with an acquaintance. Discussing the weather or speculating on
how many stops you will make before finally reaching the lobby does not facilitate bonding. Nor does
mere proximity. Hall found that obligatory time spent together, such as in a classroom or workplace,
does not promote closeness. Friendships require an efficient use of time together. Someone who
remembers the details of your life and asks questions about your family, your job, your latest vacation,
etc., is much more likely on his or her way to becoming someone you consider a friend, as opposed to
an acquaintance.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
For hundreds of years, giving flowers have been a social means of communication. In the United
States, flowers are often given during rites of passage, for commemorating special occasions or as a
heartfelt gift between loved ones and friends. Flower gifting also occurs in most countries around the
world. However, the meanings and traditions often vary.
While students traditionally gave their favorite teacher an apple in past years, in China, teachers are
given flowers. Peonies are by far the flower most often given in China. They are also quite popularly
used for weddings. Strangely, potted plants are not considered a pleasant gift among Asian cultures.
The people believe that like a plant confined by a pot, the gift symbolizes a binding or restriction.
In Russia, in lieu of giving birthday presents, the guest of honor receives a single flower or an
unwrapped bouquet. Floral arrangements or baskets are not given. Russians celebrate a holiday known
as Woman’s Day. Traditional gifts include red roses, hyacinths or tulips. When there is a funeral or
other occasion where someone wishes to express sympathy, carnations, lilies or roses are given in
circular configurations, which signify the transition of birth, life and death to rebirth. In this instance,
the color of choice is commonly yellow. For joyous occasions, arrangements and bouquets generally
contain an odd number of flowers.
In the times of ancient Rome, brides carried flowers to scare away evil spirits and encourage fertility.
The Dutch believed that flowers were food for the soul. When invited to someone’s home in Great
Britain, it is tradition to bring a gift of flowers. All types are acceptable except white lilies, which are
usually seen at funerals. Not unlike the United States, red roses are a symbol of love. Flowers are

Trang 3/5- Mã đề thi 407

generally gifted in odd numbered increments regardless of the occasion. However, the Brits also have
superstitions regarding the number 13, so the number is avoided.
In the southern region of the continent, flowers are traditionally given during Christmas. Egyptians are
much more conservative and restrict flower gifting to funerals and weddings. While certain flowers
may have significant meanings for some, flowers in Las Vegas and across the United States flowers
are an accepted gift for any reason desired.

In the southern region of the continent, flowers are traditionally given during Christmas. Egyptians are
much more conservative and restrict flower gifting to funerals and weddings. While certain flowers
may have significant meanings for some, flowers in Las Vegas and across the United States flowers
are an accepted gift for any reason desired. (Ở khu vực phía nam của châu lục, hoa thường được tặng
theo truyền thống vào dịp Giáng sinh. Người Ai Cập thận trọng hơn nhiều và giới hạn việc tặng hoa
vào đám tang hay đám cưới. Trong khi 1 số loài hoa thường có những ý nghĩa khác nhau, hoa ở Las
Vegas và xuyên suốt nước Mỹ là 2 món quà được chấp nhận cho bất kì lý do nào).
Question 45 ( Vận dụng cao ) : Đáp án D
Kiến thức về cách dùng từ
Tạm dịch: Nhờ vào trí tuệ nhân tạo, hệ thống nhận dạng giọng nói đã chuyển đổi âm thanh thành một
lượng dữ liệu số.
* Nhận thấy D sai vì danh từ “data” là danh từ không đếm được nên khơng thể dùng “numerous” trước
nó được. “Numerous” có nghĩa và cách dùng giống “many”, nó chỉ dùng trước một danh từ đếm được
số nhiều
=> Đáp án D (numerous ->numerical)
Cấu trúc khác cần lưu ý:
+ Thanks to: nhờ vào, nhờ có
+ Convert sth into sth: chuyển đổi, biến đổi cái gì thành cái gì

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 6 to 10.
Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has
varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the
twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies.
Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by that
time Vermont and Kentucky have joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention of mint
officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some
varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half dollars were produced with sixteen stars.
As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme
would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 were issued with only thirteen Stars - one for each of the
original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half-cent was issued with only twelve
stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not
a true error.
Câu 6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifty stars.
B. The coins bearing thirteen stars were issued from about 1799 to the early years of the twentieth century

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 13 to 19.
Tropical rainforests are being destroyed and badly degraded at an unsustainable rate. Some scientists
estimate that in the early 1990s tropical forests were being destroyed at a rate of approximately 28 hectares a
minute, or about 14 million hectares each year – an area about the size of the state of Wisconsin. This figure
marked a decrease since the 1980s, when approximately 16 million hectares were destroyed each year, largely
due to a reported decline of deforestation in the Amazon River Basin in the early 1990s. However, satellite
images indicate that rates may have rebounded in the late 1990s as burning in the Amazon increased again.
Over the past three decades alone, about 5 million square kilometers – or 20 percent of the world's tropical
forests – have been cleared. During this time, deforestation in tropical Asia reached almost 30 percent. High
rates of deforestation are inevitably followed by alarming rates of plant and animal extinction because many
rainforest species cannot survive outside their pristine rainforest habitat. Some scientists estimate that dozens
of rainforest species are becoming extinct every day.
Causes of deforestation vary from location to location, but certain patterns tend to be consistent
across all forests. Logging companies in search of valuable rainforest hardwoods, or, less often, oil
companies in search of petroleum, are often the first to enter a remote area of rainforest. Some logged forests,
if left alone, can regenerate in a few decades. But typically, they are not left alone – the roads built by
logging companies often provide access for landless farmers to enter a new area, as well as a means to
transport agricultural crops to market. For every kilometer of new roads built through a forested area, 4 to 24
square kilometers are deforested and colonized.
Once the loggers leave the land, a typical cycle of destruction ensues. When the landless farmers
arrive, they clear the land for planting. Poor rainforest soils produce a low crop yield, especially after a couple
of years. At that point, the farmers often sell their lands to cattle ranchers or large plantation owners. After

nutrients have been exhausted and soils compacted by cattle, lands are then abandoned and often laid to

2/5 - Mã đề 158


waste.
Rainforest does not readily regenerate on these lands without human intervention. Meanwhile, the colonist
farmers and cattle ranchers move to a new piece of land made accessible by logging roads, where the cycle of
deforestation begins again.

correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Becoming a teacher demands not only knowledge in an academic field but also a personal
commitment to lifelong learning, and enthusiasm for sharing knowledge with other people. To become
one of those noble educators in the USA, one has to satisfy several basic requirements.
First and foremost, it is a prerequisite to have bachelor's degree in education. In the event that a
candidate already has a bachelor's degree in another field, a teacher preparation program is needed. But
that is not all. Almost every school in the USA understands that real classroom teaching experience is a
vital part of a teacher's training. Before taking over a class, a person typically needs to complete a
training program, including working as a supervised student teacher.
People who want to become university teachers need master's degrees. Getting a master's degree is
a necessity, but if it is gained too early, there may be concerns that the candidate lacks the real-world
experience to go with it. In fact, very few schools want to hire novices with little or no classroom
experience and even if they are accepted, they are usually ill-paid. One wise solution to the issue is for
future postgraduates to start working as teachers before going on to gain their master's degree.
Besides knowledge and experience, certain personal qualities are also required. A teacher should be
positive, prepared, focused, and most importantly, patient. Being a teacher involves being aware of the
fact that learning sometimes be hard work, even for the most motivated students. Also, teaching can at
times be tiring and frustrating, so teaching candidates have to practise being patient with themselves.
In short, as in other careers, teaching requires a combination of qualifications, experience, and
personal qualities. Teaching candidates meeting mandatory requirements are always in demand in the
USA.

One of the most interesting parts of the earth for many people was and continues to be the
beautiful world of the sea. People were always attracted to the mysteries of the deep waters when

complex sport that requires some research before being understood at its real value. In order for

about it. At the moment, scuba diving has four main areas of interest: recreation purposes,
commercial purposes, scientific research and military activity as well. The most frequent reason
why people go for scuba diving is because they want to relax in a special way, by having contact with
a less known world.
A great thing about this sport is that it can be practiced anytime a round the year; however, you
should choose the summer if you have problems with low temperatures. Once you take the lessons,
you get the basic knowledge before diving, you should talk to a specialist and obtain quality
equipment for this activity. For the beginning, you can only rent scuba diving equipment, but if you
get attached to this sport, then you will have to purchase one of your own at some moment. Some
of the most important parts of the scuba gear are the mask, the snorkel, the diving suit, the gloves,
the boots and the diving regulator.

be thinking about what location to choose. This is one of the most difficult decisions to make as our
world is filled with numerous destinations, equally beautiful and interesting. If this passion catches

thing as the most beautiful waters to scuba diving in as each part has something to offer and
shelters special creatures that should be observed.
