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 46 to 55.
Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car
of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of
automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as
electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is
the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other
dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric
vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood
cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers
are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public
charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the
street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their
batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most
convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.

Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at
transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a
variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or
electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways
capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.
Question 46. The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ________
A. vans B. trains C. trolleys D. planes
Question 47. The author’s purpose in the passage is to __________
A. describe the possibilities for transportation in the future

A. electric shuttle buses B. pollution restrictions in the future

correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70.
According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become
recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the family, traditional cultural
patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups,
one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of
selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of
research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders.”
It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any
person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular

group.
Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader,
research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different
individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social
group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things” done. “Expressive leadership”, on
the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-being of a social group’s member.
Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing
emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them.
Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 132
Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and
provide support to individual members.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group
members. They give orders and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group’s
goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group.
They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to
lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As
the differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal
affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals,
may enjoy a more distant respect.
