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 following questions. ( from 41 to 50).
During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large
number of reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve
education, ban the sale of alcohol, grant rights to people who were denied them, and, most importantly,
free slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Woman 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 to participate equally with men in
antislavery 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 improve the conditions of others.
When the civil war ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution
adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged
but resolved, feminists worked tirelessly to influence more and more women to demand the right to
vote. In 1869, the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but the states on the East
Coast resisted more stubbornly than before. A women’s suffrage bill had been presented to every
Congress since 1878, but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment
granted women the right to vote.

A. The Wyoming Territory.
B. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.

A. encourage B. publish C. prohibit D. limit
Question 43: The word “supported” in line 5 could best be replaced by .
A. disregarded B. acknowledged C. contested D. promoted
Question 44: According to the passage, why did women become active in politics?
A. To improve the conditions of life that existed at the time.

B. To support Elizabeth Cady Stanton for president.
C. To be elected to public office.
D. To amend the Declaration of Independence.
Question 45: The word “primarily” in line 9 is closest in meaning to .
A. above all B. somewhat C. finally D. always
Question 46: What had occurred shortly after the Civil War?
A. The Wyoming Territory was admitted to the Union.
B. A women’s suffrage bill was introduced in Congress.
C. The eastern states resisted the end of the war.
D. Black people were granted the right to vote.
Question 47: The word “suffrage” in line 12 could best be replaced by which of the following?

Question 48: What does the Nineteenth Amendment guarantee?
A. Voting rights for blacks B. Citizenship for blacks

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 following questions. ( from 51 to 60).
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high- quality protein, eggs
also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk,
in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge

has driven egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of
several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These eggs
substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the
advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. One
disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative
to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called “designer” eggs. These eggs are produced by
hens that are fed low- flat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite
of their diet, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular
eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in
humans.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies
to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol
levels have brought mixed results. It may be that is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant of
cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol
derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certainly dietary fats stimulate the
body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of
eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help
reduce the blood cholesterol level.
Question 51: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary at increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To make people know about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten.
D. To convince people to eat “designer” eggs and egg substitutes.
Question 52: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. Minerals B. Cholesterol C. Canola oil D. Vitamins
Question 53: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. Increasing price B. Decreased production
C. Dietary changes in hens D. Concerns about cholesterol
Question 54: What is meant by the phrase “mixed results” ?
A. The results are blended B. The results are a composite of things

C. The results are inconclusive D. The results are mingled together
Question 55: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A. Reducing egg intake but not fat intake B. Increasing egg intake and fat intake
C. Decreasing egg intake and fat intake D. Increasing egg intake but not fat intake
Question 56: Which of the following could best replace the word “somewhat”?
A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot
Question 57: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the
suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 3/4 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D. 1/3
Question 58: The word “portrayed” could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. studied B. destroyed C. tested D. described
Question 59: What is the meaning of “back up”?
A. reverse B. advance C. block D. support

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 following questions.( from 64 to 73).
During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large
number of reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve
education, ban the sale of alcohol, grant rights to people who were denied them, and, most importantly,
free slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Woman 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 to participate equally with men in
antislavery 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 improve the conditions of others.
When the civil war ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution
adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged
but resolved, feminists worked tirelessly to influence more and more women to demand the right to
vote. In 1869, the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but the states on the East
Coast resisted more stubbornly than before. A women’s suffrage bill had been presented to every
Congress since 1878, but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment

granted women the right to vote.
Question 64: With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?
A. The Wyoming Territory.
B. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.
C. Abolitionists.
D. Women’s suffrage.
Question 65: The word “ban” in line 3 most nearly means to .

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 following questions. ( from 56 to 65).
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high- quality protein, eggs
also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk,
in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge
has driven egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of
several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These eggs
substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the
advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. One
disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative
to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called “designer” eggs. These eggs are produced by
hens that are fed low- flat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite
of their diet, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular
eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in
humans.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies
www.DeThiThuDaiHoc.com

17

to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol
levels have brought mixed results. It may be that is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant of
cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol

derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certainly dietary fats stimulate the
body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of
eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help
reduce the blood cholesterol level.
Question 56: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary at increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To make people know about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten.
D. To convince people to eat “designer” eggs and egg substitutes.
Question 57: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?

Question 60: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?

Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high- quality protein, eggs
also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk,

in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge
has driven egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of
several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These eggs
substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the
advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. One
disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative
to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called “designer” eggs. These eggs are produced by
hens that are fed low- flat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite
of their diet, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular
eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in
humans.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies
to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol
levels have brought mixed results. It may be that is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant of

cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol
derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certainly dietary fats stimulate the
body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of
eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help
reduce the blood cholesterol level.

During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large

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 to participate equally with men in
antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered women a
