ENGLISH AROUND THE WORLD

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 39 to 43.

If we take a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, wewould be very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United Kingdom. Thelanguage most commonly used between people of different nationalities was French. However, that isnot the case nowadays. English has replaced French as the international language of communication.Today, there are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak it as afirst language.

There are many reasons why English has become the language of international communication.Britain’s colonisation of many parts of the world had something to do with it, but it is mainly due toAmerica’s rise to the position of major world power. This helped spread popular American culturethroughout the world bringing the language with it.

But is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? Linguists havesuggested “Esperanto”, an artificially put-together language, as a solution to internationalcommunication problems but without success. So English will continue being the world language until

some other languages, maybe Chinese, which is the most widespread native language in the world,

take over as the world’s international language instead of English.

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 44 to 50.

Understanding India's Caste System

It has been said that life is what we make of it. In other words, if we work hard and focuson our goals, we can have great careers and enjoy high status in society. However, theseopportunities don’t exist for everyone. In some places, the family you are born into will decide

almost everything about your life. India’s caste system is an example of this.

The caste system is a major part of the Hindu religion that has existed for thousands ofyears. It is a way of organising and grouping people based on the occupation of the family.Castes will determine whom people can socialise with and their place in society. Originally, aperson’s caste was supposed to be determined by their personality, but over time it has beenlinked to their job and family.

There are four classes, also known as varnas, in India’s caste system. The highest one isBrahmin. People in this class have jobs in education and religion. These are seen as extremelyimportant functions for society as they deal with knowledge. The second highest level is the

Kshatriya, or ruling class. People from this group can be soldiers, landowners, or have jobs in

politics. The class beneath this is the Vaishya. These people often work in the commercial sectoras merchants. The fourth class level is the Shudra. Shudras typically work as unskilled labourersdoing factory or farm work, or they may also be employed as artists.

There is another group, the Harijan, that is at the bottom and considered to be outside ofthe caste system. For many years, they were known as Untouchables, people from this caste heldthe most undesirable jobs in society, such as cleaning up garbage. Furthermore, they weren’tallowed to pray at public temples or drink water from the same wells as other classes. If someonefrom another caste came into contact with an Untouchable, they were considered dirty and would

be expected to bathe vigorously to clean themselves.

Although the caste system still exists in India, the government is taking steps to improvethe living conditions and decrease unemployment rates for the Shudras and Harijan. This includesproviding better health care, offering literacy programmes, and making sure that people fromhigher social classes do not exploit them. It seems unlikely that the caste system will disappearany time soon, but the overall conditions for those at the bottom do seem to be improving.

C. The India’s caste system existing for thousands of yearsD. The major part of the Hindu religion

The pursuit of fame has never been more popular than it is today. Where fame was oncereserved for the most gifted artists in the entertainment industry, these days it seems that anyone, froma reality TV contestant to an online video blogger can become famous.

Most talent show contestants and video bloggers are young people with little or no idea about

how to handle fame. They can struggle to cope with the sudden glare of the spotlight. Then, as their

new-found fame ends and the public’s attention turns elsewhere, these fading stars often struggle toreadjust to normality.

However, hanging on to fame has its own pitfalls. Fame brings a loss of privacy as a star’s life

becomes the subject of media attention and, sometimes, cruel rumour. This can have a serious effect ontheir friendships. People who desire fame have to be prepared to live their life under a microscope.Fame may build confidence, but it can also destroy this confidence, bringing insecurity, depression andloneliness.

It is important to put human emotions and relationships before fame because, after all, famedoes not bring happiness. The bright lights of fame have blinded many wannabes who, later, end upfeeling lonely and confused. Fame is fleeting for most people, but the real world is lasting foreveryone.

Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form ofpollution, it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by differentindividuals is highly subjective and, therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may beslightly irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly

in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes

physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed

including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels

constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioningbrought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of these responsespersist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound hasceased.

Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantlyresponding in the same way that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers haveconcluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a seriousthreat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the earand brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America'snumber one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart diseaseand ulcers may be victims of noise as well. Foetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, theycry easily, and they are more sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth. In addition, thepsychic effect of noise is very important. Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increaseaffecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during waking hours, aswell as the way that we interact with each other.

Question 44: Which of the following is the author’s main point?

A. Hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health problem.B. Loud noises signal danger.

C. Noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological health.D. The ear is not like the eye.

Question 45: The word “congested” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by ______.A. obstructed B. overpopulated C. jammed D. rushedQuestion 46: Why is noise difficult to measure?

Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happeningin society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is the website

called HappyNews. The man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews because he

thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world. Reese said about

HappyNews, “The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad news,

misery, and despair. We’re trying to balance out the scale.”

Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have aresponsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems

in today’s society. Then they are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their

daily lives. Reese said that HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues orproblems. HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.

By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60percent of those readers were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of

the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites,

HappyNews gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis.

In my experience, freshmen today are different from those I knew when I started as a counselorand professor 25 years ago. College has always been demanding both academically and socially. But students now are less mature and often not ready for the responsibility of being in college.

It is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect their children from life’s

obstacles. Parents, who handle every difficulty and every other responsibility for their children writing

admission essays to picking college courses, certainly may contribute to their children’s lack of copingstrategies. But we can look even more broadly to the social trends of today.

How many people do you know who are on medication to prevent anxiety or depression? The

number of students who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotions has increaseddramatically in the past 10 years. We, as a society, don’t want to “feel” anything unpleasant and wecertainly don’t want our children to “suffer”.

The resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn thenecessary skills to tolerate and negotiate adversity. As a psychologist, I am well aware of the fact thatsome individuals suffer from depression and anxiety and can benefit from treatment, but I question thegrowing number of medicated adolescents today.

Our world is more stressful in general because of the current economic and political realities,but I don’t believe that the college experience itself is more intense today than that of the past 10 years.What I do think is that many students are often not prepared to be young “adults” with all theresponsibilities of life.

What does this mean for college faculty and staff? We are required to assist in the basicparenting of these students – the student who complains that the professor didn’t remind her of the duedate for an assignment that was clearly listed on the syllabus and the student who cheats on anassignment in spite of careful instructions about plagiarism.

As college professors, we have to explain what it means to be an independent college studentbefore we can even begin to teach. As parents and teachers we should expect young people to meet

challenges. To encourage them in this direction, we have to step back and let them fail and pick

themselves up and move forward. This approach needs to begin at an early age so that college canactually be a passage to independent adulthood.

Question 44. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Changes in universities over a quarter of a century.

B. The lack of preparedness for maturation among youngsters.

</div>Trang 20<div class="page_container" data-page="20">

C. A decade of increasing negativity.D. Future directions for education sectors.

Question 45. The word “handle” in paragraph 2 mostly means ______.

Question 46. According to the writer, students’ difficulties to cope with college life are partly due to

A. the absence of parents’ protectionB. the lack of parental supportC. the over-parenting from parentsD. the lack of financial supportQuestion 47. The word “them” in the last paragraph refers to ______.

A. challengesB. parentsC. young peopleD. teachersQuestion 48. The phrase “on medication” in paragraph 3 is similar in meaning to ______.

A. studying medicine at collegeB. abusing addictive substancesC. taking pharmaceutical remedyD. suffering anxiety from depressionQuestion 49. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. College faculty and staff are required to help in the parenting of problematic students.B. The college experience itself is more intense today than that of the past 10 years.C. Our world is more stressful because of the current economic and political situation.D. Our society certainly doesn’t want our children to experience unpleasant things.Question 50.

A. help students to learn to stand on their own feetB. allow students to learn the first lesson in their livesC. defeat students from the very beginning

D. discourage students and let them down forever

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things tooquickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distanceaway. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngestson in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what theyhad seen.

covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with

blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had everseen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of lifeand fulfilment.

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 44 to 50.

For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means anendless party on a sunny beach in Florida or Mexico. In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with apermanent population of around 36,000, more than half a million university students arrive duringthe month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break destination in theUnited States.

A weeklong drinking binge is not for anyone, however, and a growing number of

American university students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining orleading a group of volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to alleviate problemssuch as poverty, homelessness, or environmental damage makes spring break a unique learningexperience that university students can feel good about.

During one spring break week, students at James Madison University in Virginiaparticipated in 15 “alternative spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more distantparts of the United States, and five international trips. One group of JMU students traveled toBogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Another grouptraveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homeless shelter.One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand.

Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding.

While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people,student volunteers are able to help people now. On the other hand, the accommodations are far

from glamorous. Students often sleep on the floor of a school or spend the week camping in

tents. But students only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less thansome of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break hotspots.

Alternative spring break trips appear to be growing in popularity at universities across theUnited States. Students cite a number of reasons for participating. Some appreciate theopportunity to socialize and meet new friends. Others want to exercise their beliefs about people’sobligation to serve humanity and make the world a better place.

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their

number has varied from one to forty-eight. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early yearsof 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 had joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention ofmint officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, forexample, 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 thisscheme would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 were issued with only thirteen Stars - onefor each of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half-cent wasissued with only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this is theresult of a die break and is not a true error.

Question 39: What is the main topic of the passage? A. Stars on American coins

B. The teaching of astronomy in state universities C. Colonial stamps and coins

D. The star as national symbol of the United States

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 44 to 50.

FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES

Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a“housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money forthe family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not domuch housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.

These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay withthe children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend theevening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the

laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?

Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband

and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For

example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooksdinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.

Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child carefrom grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are oftentoo far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The helpmay be a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It ispossible only for couples with jobs that pay well.

Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companiesnow let people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with theirchildren. Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men

there is a new word. They are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are

becoming househusbands every year.

These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand theirchildren better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may alsofind changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.

Question 44: This article is about ______.

A. American men as house husbandsB. housewives in America

C. how more American women are working D. how family life in America is changingQuestion 45: The word “laundry” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

The custom of paying a bride price before marriage is still a well-established part of manyAfrican cultures. In paying a bride price, the family of the groom must provide payment to the familyof the bride before the marriage is allowed. The bride price can vary greatly from culture to culture inAfrica. In the Zulu and Swazi tribes of southern Africa, the bride price often takes the form of cattle.In Western Africa, kola nuts, shells, and other goods are often used for the payment of the bride

price. The actual payment of money sometimes takes place, but the payment of goods is more

frequent. The amount paid in a bride price can also vary. In modern times, the bride price isoccasionally quite small and its value is mainly symbolic. However, the bride price can still be quite

high, especially among prominent or highly traditional families.

There are a number of justifications used to explain the payment of bride price. The first is

that the bride price represents an acknowledgement of the expense the bride's family has gone to inorder to raise her and bring her up as a suitable bride for the groom. It also represents payment forthe loss of a family member, since the bride will officially become a member of her husband's familyand will leave on her own. On a deeper level the bride price represents payment for the fact that thebride will bring children into the family of the groom, thereby increasing the wealth of the family.This concept is reinforced by the fact that the bride price must often be returned if the bride fails tobear children.

The payment of the bride price has quite a number of effects on African society. First, thepayment of bride price acts to increase the stability of African family structures. Sons are dependenton their fathers and older relatives to help them pay the bride price of their wives, and this generallyleads to greater levels of obedience and respect. The negotiations between the two familiesconcerning the bride price allow the parents and other family members to meet and get to know oneanother before the marriage. Finally, since the bride price must often be repaid in case of divorce, the

bride's family often works to make sure that any marital problems are solved quickly. Bride prices

also work as a system of wealth distribution in African cultures. Wealthier families can afford tosupport the marriage of their son, and thus their wealth is transferred to other families.

Question 44. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The average African marital relationship

</div>Trang 35<div class="page_container" data-page="35">

B. The gap between the wealthy and the impoverished in AfricaC. A time-honoured custom in Africa

D. Profit-based marriages in Africa

Question 45. The word "prominent" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. auspiciousB. importantC. apparentD. conservativeQuestion 46. Why are women often married to older men?

A. Young men lack the financial ability to marry.

B. The legal age for marriage is lower for women than for men.

C. Families are eager to gain the bride price from their daughter’s marriage.D. Women live longer than men on average.

A. MarriageB. Bride priceC. PaymentD. JustificationQuestion 48. The word "marital" can be best replaced by ______.

Question 49. According to paragraph 1, all of the following are true of the bride price EXCEPT

A. its amount and form can vary

B. its practice is occasionally only symbolicC. it is a relatively new practice in Africa

On July 16, 1969, America launched the Apollo 11, Lunar Landing Mission from Kennedy Space Center. This was a 363-foot-tall space vehicle, the five engines of which on the Saturn V rocket generated 7.5 million pounds of thrust. Twelve minutes after the launch, the astronauts were in orbit 120 miles above the Earth. At a speed of 17,400 mph, they began their four-day journey to the moon.

They had nearly a quarter of a million miles to go.

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong descended from the lunar module ladder. Just prior to taking his first step on the moon, Armstrong piled on a special ring, causing a TV camera to automatically

deploy. As he stepped onto the moon’s surface he proclaimed, “That’s one small step for man, one

giant leap for mankind.” However, Armstrong inadvertently omitted the “a'' before “man”. This error slightly changed the meaning of what was to become known as Armstrong’s famous statement.

One of the most important social developments that helped to make possible a shift in thinking about the role of public education was the effect of the baby boom of the 1950s and 1960s on the schools. In the 1920s, but especially in the Depression conditions of the 1930s, the United States experienced a declining birth rate – every thousand women aged fifteen to forty-four gave birth to about 118 live children in 1920, 89.2 in 1930, 75.8 in 1936, and 80 in 1940. With the growing

prosperity brought on by the Second World War and the economic boom that followed it, young

people married and established households earlier and began to raise larger families than their predecessors during the Depression. Birth rates rose to 102 per thousand in 1946, 106.2 in 1950, and 118 in 1955. Although economics was probably the most important determinant, it is not the only explanation for the baby boom. The increased value placed on the idea of the family also helps to explain this rise in birth rates. The baby boomers began streaming into the first grade by the mid-1940s

and became a flood by 1950. The public school system suddenly found itself overtaxed. While the

number of schoolchildren rose because of wartime and postwar conditions, these same conditions made the schools even less prepared to cope with the flood. The wartime economy meant that few newschools were built between 1940 and 1945. Moreover, during the war and in the boom times that followed large numbers of teachers left their profession for better-paying jobs elsewhere in the economy.

Therefore, in the 1950s and 1960s, the baby boom hit an antiquated and inadequate school system. Consequently, the "custodial rhetoric" of the 1930s and early 1940s no longer made sense; thatis, keeping youths aged sixteen and older out of the labor market by keeping them in school could no longer be a high priority for an institution unable to find space and staff to teach younger children agedfive to sixteen. With the baby boom, the focus of educators and of laymen interested in education

inevitably turned toward the lower grades and back to basic academic skills and discipline. The

system no longer had much interest in offering nontraditional, new, and extra services to older youths.

Question 44. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Birth rates in the United States in the 1930s and 1940sB. The impact of the baby boom on public educationC. The role of the family in the 1950s and 1960sD. The teaching profession during the baby boom
