( ID: 97885 ) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 6 to 15.
A fold culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is
homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed
rituals.
Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal
relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There
is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to
perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are
handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk
cultures, as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries
such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo-America is

the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving
devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as a local
transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles.
The Amish’s central religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness of
individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of
Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the
Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.
By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and
constantly changing. Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor
exists, leading to the establishment of many specialized professions. Secular institutions, of control
such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a
money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly
different from “folk”.
The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk-
made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more
quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner.
Question 6: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Two decades in modern society B. The influence of industrial technology
C. The characteristics of “folk” and “popular” societies
D. The specialization of labor in Canada and the United States

( ID: 97916 ) 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 35 to 44.
In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all these
cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a
good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a
serious purpose.
Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In
wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays
cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a
variety of social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in
influencing people in Europe and the United States.
Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the
past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such
cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in
bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and
Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons. The cartoons
themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive
way.
In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not
depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons.
This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters,
Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as

possible among the people.
Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They offer a

>> Truy cập để học Toán – Lý – Hóa – Sinh – Văn – Anh tốt nhất! 4/10

very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular
country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese
philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France,
America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.
Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to
the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan,
Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East
and the West.
Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the
popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture
is worth a thousand words.”
Question 35: Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons?
A. Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness. B. Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness.
C. Humour, unexpectedness, and criticism. D. Originality, freshness, and astonishment.
Question 36: Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means of _________.
A. educating ordinary people B. spreading Western ideas
C. amusing people all the time D. political propaganda in wartime
Question 37: The major differences between Chinese cartoons and Western cartoons come from
their _________. .
A. purposes B. nationalities C. values D. styles
Question 38: The pronoun “this” in paragraph 4 mostly refers to_________. .
A. a piece of art B. an educational purpose
C. a funny element D. a propaganda campaign
Question 39: The passage is intended to present_________. .
A. a contrast between Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons

B. a description of cartoons of all kinds the world over
C. an outline of Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons
D. an opinion about how cartoons entertain people
Question 40: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Chinese Cartoons and Western Cartoons B. A Very Powerful Force in Influencing People
C. An Excellent Way of Spreading Propaganda D. Cartoons as a Way of Educating People
Question 41: In general, Chinese cartoons are now aiming at _________. .
A. bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people in the world
B. disseminating traditional practices in China and throughout the world
C. illustrating the truth of Chinese great men’s famous sayings
D. spreading the Chinese ideas and cultural values throughout the world
Question 42: The word “imbalance” in paragraph 6 refers to _________. .
A. the mismatch between the East cartoons and the West cartoons
B. the dominant cultural influence of the West over the East
C. the influence of the East cartoons over the West cartoons
D. the discrimination between the West culture and the East culture
Question 43: Which of the following is most likely the traditional subject of Chinese cartoons?
A. Jokes and other kinds of humour in political and social matters.
B. The philosophies and sayings of ancient Chinese thinkers.
C. The illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China.
D. The stories and features of the lives of great men the world over.

As you know, many animal species, however, are in danger of extinction to day. The reason causing the
decrease in the number of animals is mainly from human beings. It is high time we must take some
measures to protect endangered animals. Firstly, we should educate people from the young age about the
importance of wild animals in maintain the ecosystem and biodiversity. Young people should be educated
how to protect our environment in general and how to protect endangered animals in particular. This should
be included in their curriculum at school. Secondly, the governments all over the world should set up

national parks and wild-life preserves as many as possible. Thanks to these places, animals will have a
suitable habitat to survive and good conditions to grow and multiply. There they can be kept in a natural
and safe environment. Last but not least, each nation must enforce stricter law with more serious
punishment- capital punishment, for example- to prevent people from poaching rare and valuable animals.
In general, each of us has the responsibility for protecting and saving endangered species before it is too

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 50 to 59.
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of
communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known
culture. The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts
attention, as. For example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the
potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain
meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently.
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship
with the receiver‟s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers
with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain
cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage.
They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As
a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based
upon speech. Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few.
Question 50: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Gestures B. Signs and signals
C. Speech D. Communication
Question 51: What does the author say about speech?
A. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.
B. It is the most advanced form of communication.
C. It is necessary for communication to occur.
D. It is the only true form of communication.
Question 52: According to the passage, what is a signal?

>> Truy cập để học Toán – Lý – Hóa – Sinh – Văn – Anh tốt nhất! 4/8

A. A form of communication that interrupts the environment.
B. The most difficult form of communication to describe
C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances.
D. The form of communication most related to cultural perception.
Question 53: The phrase “ impinge upon” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______________.
A. prohibit B. intrude C. vary D. improve
Question 54: The word “it” in paragraph refers to _______________.
A. way B. environment C. function D. signal
Question 55: The word “ potential” in paragraph 1 could be replaced by ______________.
A. advanced B. possibility C. organization D. signal
Question 56: The word “intricate” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by ________
A. inefficient B. complicated C. historical D. uncertain
Question 57: Applauding was cited as an example of ______________.
A. a signal B. a sign C. a gesture D. a symbol
Question 58: Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented?
A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols.
B. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances.
C. Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete.
D. Because people wanted new forms of communication.
Question 59: It may be concluded from this passage that___________.
A. only some cultures have signs, signals, and symbols
B. signs, signals, symbols, and gestures are forms of communication
C. symbols are very easy to define and interrupt
D. waving and handshaking are not related to culture

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 60 to 64.
In the mid – nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could be
exploited in order to develop heavy industry. Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the
manufacture of machinery, transportation facilities, and consumer goods lay ready to be worked into

wealth. Iron, coal, and oil – the basic ingredients of industrial growth – were plentiful and needed only the
application of technical expertise, organizational skill, and labor.
One crucial development in this movement toward industrialization was the growth of the
railroads. The railway network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like a
spider‟s web, with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw materials, their places of
manufacture, and their centers of distribution. The railroads contributed to the industrial growth not only
by connecting these major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous amounts of fuel, iron,
and coal.
Many factors influenced emerging modes of production. For example, machine tools, the tools
used to make goods, were steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century – always with an
eye to speedier production and lower unit costs. The products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by
the growing cities that sheltered the workers and the distributors. The increased urban population was
nourished by the increased farm production that, in turn, was made more productive by the use of the new
farm machinery. American agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses
for sale to the industrial centers of Europe.
The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm
areas where people were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe.
Europe now began to send tides of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe – most of whom were
originally poor farmers but who settled in American industrial cities. The money to finance this
tremendous expansion of the American economy still came from European financiers for the most part,
but the American were approaching the day when their expansion could be financed in their own “ money
market”.
Question 60: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The history of railroads in the United States
B. The major United States industrial centers

>> Truy cập để học Toán – Lý – Hóa – Sinh – Văn – Anh tốt nhất! 5/8

C. Factors that affected industrialization in the United States

Question 61: The word “ themselves” in the paragraph 2 refers to _______

Question 62: According to the passage, all of the following were true of railroads in the United States in
the nineteenth century EXCEPT that
A. they connected important industrial cities
B. they were necessary to the industrialization process
C. they were expanded in a short time
D. they used relatively small quantities of natural resources

Question 63: Which of the following in NOT true of United States farmers in the nineteenth century?
A. They lost some jobs because of mechanization
B. They were unable to produce sufficient food for urban areas
C. They raised their productivity by using new machinery
D. They sold food to European countries
Question 64: The word “ ran” in the paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________
A. operated B. hurried C. constructed D. owned

II. PHẦN TỰ LUẬN ( 2 điểm)

solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal temperatures as high
as the ignition point for nuclear reactions, and it would have flamed as a star in its own right. Jupiter and the
other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed
predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets.
Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but
under pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the
hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid with the properties of a metal. Some scientists believe
that the innermost core of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth.
Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours. As a result, its clouds, which are composed largely of frozen
and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands that circle the planet at
different speeds in different latitudes. Jupiter’s puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the
Southern Hemisphere. Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size (the
Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds of years.
Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. Perhaps this is primeval heat or beat
generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet. Another star like characteristic of Jupiter is
its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease in density with
distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away. If Jupiter were about 70 times more
massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with
its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System.
