Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be
friends with them orthat you don't trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain as it
may seem. For instance, people give out body language signals all the time. The way you hold your body,
head and arms tells people about your mood. If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across
your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive. Holding your head to one side shows
interest in the other, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident. All this affects the way
you feel about someone.
Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be because of something as simple
as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly. Your feelings about
a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a
child. Since even a single word can bring back a memory such as that, you may never realize it is happening.
Câu 46: What does the word "open" in the passage most closely mean?
A. Unrestrained. B. Relaxed. C. Confined. D. Unlimited.
Câu 47: What influences your impression of a person you meet the first time?

Câu 48: What one feels about a stranger may be influenced by something that ________.
A. strengthens one's past behaviours B. reminds one of one's past treatment
C. revives one's past memories D. points to one's childhood
Câu 49: What does the second paragraph discuss?
A. Meanings of signals one implies towards a stranger.
B. Factors that may influence one's feelings about a stranger.
C. How people usually behave to a stranger.
D. Factors that cause people to act differently.

Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy
were pinned was the ideal that its citizens would be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights
and the opportunity for individual achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the
power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress of that democracy and is the
catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in
importance. In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital
commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of change. It is important to recognize,
however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs
people had didn't require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the
workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional,
20 percent as skilled, and 60 percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed. The proportion of unskilled
jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while skilled jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even
more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and
practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime.
Câu 51: Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of change because ______.
A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far
B. the government of the United States want to drive social changes in their own ways
C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce
D. any American citizen who wants to change his driving licence must be very well-educated
Câu 52: The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US _______ between
the 1950s and now.
A. has remained the same B. has changed dramatically
C. has been reversed D. has changed slightly
Câu 53: The phrase "enlightened individuals" in the first sentence most likely means "people who ______."
A. always appear brilliant-looking in public B. have often been well-exposed to light
C. have acquired an adequate level of education D. bring light to anywhere they go
Câu 54: In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author's point of view, any individual must
_______.

A. know well all his/her rights and be ready to grasp his/her opportunity of success in life
B. study carefully the history of American educational and vocational systems even since their creation
C. understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical skills
D. move actively forward in the new Information Era and international economy with a prestigious diploma
Câu 55: Which of the following titles would be best for the passage?
A. Education and Jobs in the Past and at Present in the United States
B. The Significant Role of Education in American Citizens' Careers
C. Academic Knowledge and Practical Skills in American Professions
D. Recent Changes of Educational and Vocational Systems in America

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 51 to 60.
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom
and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 BC. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its
construction make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre structure near the Nile
River is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways
and the burial chamber for the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the
Pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true North, South, East and West- an incredible engineering feat. The
ancient Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were
based on astronomical observations.

Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many interesting lines. Further
scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events- past present and future. Many of
the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied
for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural
powers and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial being of the
ancient past. Was this superstructure made by ordinary being, or one built by a race far superior to any
known today?
51. What has the research of the base revealed?
A. There are cracks in the foundation B. Tomb robbers have stolen the pharaoh’s body
C. The lines represent important event D. A superior race of people built it
52: Extraterrestrial beings are
A. very strong wonders B. astronomers in the ancient times
B. research in Egyptology D. living beings from other planets
53: What was the most probable reason for providing so many hidden passages?
A. to allow the weight of the pyramid to settle evenly.
B. to permit the high priests to pray at night

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 66 to 75.
Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name
from the Japanese expression for "high water in a harbor". These waves are also referred to by the general

public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often refer to them as
seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea seismic activity.
Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or
volcano, for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of
water sets off a series of waves. These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers
per hour. In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than one or two meters.
It is when they hit the shallow water the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters.
Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity. Two
areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis arc Japan and Hawaii. Because the
seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the
islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often comes with little warning and can therefore prove disastrous.
Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near the
coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii
generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival.
Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous
tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep
onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest
tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano
underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian
islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far

Read the passage then circle the best option A, B, C or D to complete the following questions or
statements:
Since the dawn of time, people have found ways to communicate with one another. Smoke signals and tribal
drums were some of the earliest forms of communication. Letters, carried by birds or by humans on foot or
on horseback, made it possible for people to communicate larger amounts of information between two places.
The telegram and telephone set the stage for more modern means of communication. With the invention of
the cellular phone, communication itself has become mobile.

For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you and your friends use to keep in touch with family
and friends, take pictures, play games, or send text message. The definition of a cell phone is more specific:
it is a hand- held wireless communication device that sends and receives signals by way of small special
areas called cells.
Walkie - talkies, telephones and cell phones are duplex communication devices: They make it possible for
two people to talk to each other. Cell phones and walkie- talkies are different from regular phones because
they can be used in many different locations. A walkie- talkie is sometimes called a half- duplex
communication device because only one person can talk at a time. A cell phone is a full- duplex device
because it uses both frequencies at the same time. A walkie-talkie has only one channel. A cell phone has
more than a thousand channels. A walkie- talkie can transmit and receive signals across a distance of about
a mile. A cell phone can transmit and receive signals over hundreds of miles. In 1973, an electronic company
called Motorola hired Martin Cooper to work on wireless communication. Motorola and Bell Laboratories
( now AT& T) were in a race to invent the first portable communication device. Martin Cooper won the race
and became the inventor of the cell phone. On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the first cell phone call to his
opponent at AT& T while walking down the streets of New York city. People on the sidewalks gazed at
cooper in amazement. Cooper's phone was called A Motorola Dyna- Tac. It weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds
( as compared to today's cell phones that weigh as little as 3 or 4 ounces)
After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone available to
the general public. After a decade, Motorola introduced the first cell phone for commercial use. The early cell
phone and its service were both expensive. The cell phone itself cost about $ 3, 500. In 1977, AT & T
constructed a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago with over 2, 000 customers. In 1981, a second
cellular phone system was started in the Washington, D.C and Baltimore area. It took nearly 37 years for cell
phones to become available for general public use. Today, there are more than sixty million cell phone
customers with cell phones producing over thirty billion dollars per years.

Read the passage then circle the best option A, B, C or D to complete the following questions or
statements:

During the 19th century, women in the U. S organized and participated in a large number of reform
movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of
alcohol, and most importantly to free slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women and
slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who supported
the rights of both women and blacks. A number of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and
Wendell Phillips also supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with men in anti- slavery
activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry
into politics. They became involved primarily in order to better their living conditions and the conditions of
others.
When the Civil war ended in 1865, the 14th, and 15th, Amendments to the Constitution adopted in
1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged but resolved,
feminists influenced more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869, the Wyoming Territory had
yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more stubbornly than ever before. A woman's
suffrage bill had been presented to every Congress since 1878 but it continually failed to pass until 1920,

In many old cities in Europe, there are narrow roads with many shops lying together along the two sides.
These commercial places are not so modern and convenient as those called shopping centres in modern
cities, especially III the suburbs of the big cities in the United States.
Shopping centres have developed rapidly because of the shift of the population to the suburbs, the
growing use of and dependence upon the automobiles and the heavy traffic in downtown areas. A shopping
centre is a large group of stores facing a huge central mall which may be covered, heated and air-
conditioned. A shopping centre is also surrounded by a parking area with space for thousands of cars.

groceries are chiefly sold, a shopping centre provides us with all services besides food. We can get our hair
cut, eyes tested, clothes washed, we can book our tickets for a world tour and even enroll in special classes.
Shopping centres are therefore, very convenient for customers, but they lack "the sense of closeness" as felt
