VIII. 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.
The lack of printing regulations and the unenforceability of British copyright law in the American
colonies made it possible for colonial printers occasionally to act as publishers. Although they rarely
undertook major publishing project because it was difficult to sell books as cheaply as they could be
imported from Europe, printers in Philadelphia did publish work that required only small amounts of
capital, paper, and type. Broadsides could be published with minimal financial risk. Consisting of only
one sheet of paper and requiring small amounts of type, broadsides involved lower investments of capital
than longer works. Furthermore, the broadside format lent itself to subjects of high, if temporary, interest,
enabling them to meet with ready sale. If the broadside printer miscalculated, however, and produced a
sheet that did not sell, it was not likely to be a major loss, and the printer would know this immediately.
There would be no agonizing wait with large amounts of capital tied up, books gathering dust on the
shelves, and creditors impatient for payment.
In addition to broadsides, books and pamphlets, consisting mainly of political tracts, catechisms,
primers, and chapbooks were relatively inexpensive to print and to buy. Chapbook were pamphlet-sized
books, usually containing popular tales, ballads, poems, short plays, and jokes, small, both in formal and
number of pages, they were generally bound simply, in boards (a form of cardboard) or merely stitched in
paper wrappers (a sewn antecedent of modern-day paperbacks). Pamphlets and chapbooks did not
require fine paper or a great deal of type to produce they could thus be printed in large, cost-effective
editions and sold cheaply.
By far, the most appealing publishing investments were to be found in small books that had proven to
be steady sellers, providing a reasonably reliable source of income for the publisher. They would not, by
nature, be highly topical or political, as such publications would prove of fleeting interest. Almanacs,
annual publications that contained information on astronomy and weather patterns arranged according to
Trang 4/7 - Mã đề thi 132
the days, week, and months of a given year, provided the perfect steady seller because their information
pertained to the locale in which they would be used.

Câu 45: Which aspect of colonial printing does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Competition among printers
B. Laws governing the printing industry
C. Advances in printing technology
D. Types of publications produced
Câu 46: According to the passage, why did colonial printers avoid major publishing projects?

B. Colonial printers did not have the skills necessary to undertake large publishing projects.
C. Few colonial printers owned printing machinery that was large enough to handle major projects.
D. Colonial printers could not sell their work for a competitive price.
Câu 47: Broadsides could be published with little risk to colonial printers because they
A. required a small financial investment and sold quickly
B. were more popular with colonists than chapbooks and pamphlets

IX. 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.
In a study of aspirin's effect on blood clotting in which abstinence from chocolate was required, a
large proportion of participants broke the rules.
Their "offence" led to what is believed to be the first biochemical evidence that a few squares of
chocolate a day can almost halve the risk of heart attack death by decreasing the tendency of tiny particles
(or platelets) to clot in narrow blood vessels.
"What these chocolate offenders taught us is that the chemical in cocoa beans has a biochemical effect
similar to aspirin in reducing platelet clumping, which can be fatal if a clot forms and blocks a blood
vessel, causing a heart attack," said Diane Becker from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, USA,
who led the study.
Becker cautions that this discovery should not become an excuse to indulge in large amounts of
chocolate frequently, since chocolate also contains high amounts of sugar, butter and cream. However just
a few squares of dark chocolate the purest form may be just what the doctor ordered.
Trang 5/7 - Mã đề thi 132
For almost 20 years researchers have known that chemicals, called flavonoids, most common in dark
chocolate, help blood flow and lower blood pressure.
This new finding, presented at the American Heart Association's annual scientific sessions in Chicago
this week, identifies the effect of everyday doses of chocolate found in regular foods such as hot
chocolate or chocolate bars. This differs from previous studies which have examined the effects of eating
unrealistic doses of flavonoids, equivalent to several pounds of chocolate a day.
"Eating a little bit of chocolate or having a drink of hot cocoa as part of a regular diet is probably good
for personal health, so long as people don't eat too much of it, and too much of the kind with lots of butter
and sugar," said Becker.
In the study, 139 chocolate offenders were disqualified from a larger experiment which aimed to
examine the effects of aspirin on blood clotting. Before the study began, all participants were instructed to
follow a strict exercise and diet regimen and to refrain from smoking or using foods and drinks known to

affect blood-clotting activity, like caffeinated drinks, wine, grapefruit juice and, of course, chocolate.
Platelet samples from both groups (offenders and non-offenders) were run through a mechanical blood
vessel system designed to time how long it takes for platelets to clump together. Chocolate lovers'
samples were found to clot more slowly, on average taking 130 seconds to block the system. Platelets
from those who stayed away from chocolate clotted faster, taking an average of 123 seconds.
Câu 55: According to the findings, what helps lower blood pressure?
A. The chemical reaction in dark chocolate.
B. The tiny particles in white chocolate.
C. The most common chemicals in dark chocolate.
D. The most important ingredient in chocolate.
Câu 56: The word "abstinence" can be interpreted as ______.
A. not eating chocolate B. eating some chocolate
C. not smoking D. doing exercise
Câu 57: The word "offenders" in paragraph 3 refers to the ____.
A. people who produce chocolate B. trouble makers
C. people who violate laws D. people who ate chocolate
Câu 58: The word "indulge" in this case is closest in meaning to
A. give up oneself totally B. abandon oneself
C. get heavily involved in D. become much interested in
Câu 59: What has been found about the relation between aspirin and the chemical in cocoa beans?
A. Similarity B. Irrelevance C. Interdependence D. Difference
Câu 60: The kind of chocolate that can help the heart is identified as _____ chocolate.
A. dark B. mixed C. hot D. white
Câu 61: How does chocolate help the heart and the vascular system?
