PART VI: 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 60.
Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and
offices. For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or
typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate
over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a
distant site and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates
that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising
annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published
"The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn't telecommuting become
more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part
of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force
scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not
yet developed, thereby complicating the manager's responsibilities.

It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept
the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are
concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more
visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a
work area, they never really get away from the office.
Question 56: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters
EXCEPT_____ .
A. the lack of interaction with a group B. the different system of supervision
C. the fact that the work space is in the home D. the opportunities for advancement
Question 57: How many American workers are involved in telecommuting?
A. More than 8 million B. More than predicted in Business Week
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today D. Fewer than last year
Question 58: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _______.
A. the manager of a group of telecommuters B. a reporter
C. a telecommuter D. a statistician
Question 59: The word "resistance" could best be replaced by_______.
A. participation B. consideration C. opposition D. alteration
Question 60: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. A definition of telecommuting B. The advantages of telecommuting
C. An overview of telecommuting D. The failure of telecommuting

Code 423 Page 5 of 19
PART VII: 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 61 to 70.
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 caused 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 egg 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
baking. 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-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil,
flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, 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.
Egg 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 it is not the type of egg 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 certain
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 61: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To inform people 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 62: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals B. cholesterol C. canola oil D. vitamins
Question 63: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?
A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot
Question 64: 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 65: 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 66: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. studied B. destroyed C. tested D. described
Question 67: What is the meaning of 'back up'?
A. reverse B. advance C. block D. support
Question 68: 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 69: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following
types of eggs EXCEPT?
A. boiled B. poached C. scrambled D. fried
Question 70: 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

Mã đề thi: 423
Code 423 Page 7 of 19
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 1 to 10
A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker.
The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of
language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through
performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that
is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself,
and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch
and melody of the utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate
uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and
feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the participant’s tone can
consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest,
fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are .usually discernible by the acute
listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own
techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and
in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability
to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication.
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and
emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy,
aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a
clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident
front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given
conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the
speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by
constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed.

Indeed, playing some of the more complicated games may help people of all ages to improve

correct answer to each of the questions from 67- 75
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects—an estimated 90 percent of the
world's species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects
for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a
favorable image with the general public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating
information on science and conservation issues such as diversity.
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past
century is the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon
when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total
number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only
321. This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between
temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary
among different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness
within temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed,
comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still

Code 423 Page 12 of 19
mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison
between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical
decisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously;
little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the

preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing
on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.
Question 67: Butterflies are a good example for communicating information about
conservation issues because they………
A. are simple in structure
C. are viewed positively by people
B. have been given scientific names
D. are found mainly in temperate climates
Question 68: The word "consequence" in line 2 is closest in meaning to…………….

May 7, 1840, was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth century Peter
Illich Tchaikovsky. The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later studied composition at
the St. Petersburg Conservatory. His greatest period of productivity occurred between 1876 and 1890, during which time
he enjoyed the patronage of Madame von Meck, a woman he never met, who gave him a living stipend of about
$1,000.00 a year. Madame von Meck later terminated her friendship with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living allowance,
when she, herself, was facing financial difficulties. It was during the time of Madame von Meck's patronage, however,
that Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous, including the music for the ballets of Swan Lake and
The Sleeping Beauty.
Tchaikovsky's music, well known for its rich melodic and sometimes melancholy passages, was one of the first
that brought serious dramatic music to dance. Before this, little attention had been given to the music behind the dance.
