Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the country’s
impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1966. In
September 1966 Canada’s population passed the 20 million mark. Most of his surging growth came
from natural increase. The depression of the 1930’s and the war had held back marriages, and the
catching-up process began after 1945. The baby boom continued through the decade of the 1950’s,
producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956. This rate
of increase had been exceeded only once before settle. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of
the 1950’s supported a growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward
earlier marriages and an increase in the average size of families. In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood
at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the world.
After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling until
in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the low level of births
during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society. Young
Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 132


people were staying at school longer; more women were working; young married couples were buying
automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of
families.It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families
that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution.
Although the growth in Canada’s population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase in the first
half of the 1960’s was only nine percent), another large population wave was coming over the horizon.
It would be composed of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to
1957.

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 55 to 64.
Ethology is concerned with the study of adaptive, or survival, value of behavior and its
Evolutionary history. Ethological theory began to be applied to research on children in the1960’s but
has become even more influential today. The origins of ethology can be traced to the work of Darwin.
Its modern foundations were laid by two European zoologists, Konrad Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen.
Watching the behaviors diverse animal species in their natural habitats, Lorenz, and Tinbergen
observed behavior patterns that promote survival. The most well-known of these is imprinting, the
early following behavior of certain baby birds that ensures that the young will stay close to their
mother and be fed and protected from danger. Imprinting takes place during an early, restricted time
period of development. If the mother goose is not present during this time, but an object resembling
her in important features is, young goslings may imprint on it instead . Observations of imprinting led
to major concept that has been applied in child development” the critical period . It refers to a limited
times span during which the child is biologically prepared to acquire certain adaptive behaviors but
Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 132

needs the support of suitably stimulating environment. Many researchers have conducted studies to
find out whether complex cognitive and social behaviors must be learned during restricted time
periods. for example, if children are deprived of adequate food or physical and social stimulation
during the early years of life, will their intelligence be permanently impaired? If language is not
mastered during the preschool years, is the child’s capacity to acquire it reduced?
Inspired by observations of imprinting, in 1969 the British psychoanalyst John Bowlby applied
ethological theory to the understanding of the relationship between an infant and its parents. He argued
that attachment behaviors of babies, such as smiling, babbling, grasping, and crying, are built-in social
signals that encourage the parents to approach, care for, and interact with the baby. By keeping a
parent near, these behaviors help ensure that the baby will be fed, protected from danger, and provided
with the stimulation and affection necessary for healthy growth. The development of attachment in
human infants is a lengthy process involving changes in psychological structures that lead to a deep
affectional tie between parent and baby.
Question 55: What was Darwin’s contribution to ethology?
A. Darwin was the first person to apply ethological theory to children.
B. Darwin’s work provided the basis for ethology.
C. Darwin was the professor who taught Lorenz and Tinbergen.
D. Darwin improved on the original principles of ethology.
Question 56: The word “foundations” in line 4 is closest in meaning to______.
A. institutions
B. inventions
C. discoveries
D. researches
Question 57: The word “ensures” in line 7 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. assumes
B. guarantees
C. proves
D. teaches

Question 58: According to the passage, if a mother goose is not present during the time period when
imprinting takes place, which of the following will most likely occur?
A. The mother will later imprint on the gosling.
B. The gosling may not find a mate when it matures.
C. The gosling will not imprint on any object.
D. The gosling may imprint on another object.
Question 59: The word “He” in line 19 refers to __________.
A. an infant
B. a psychoanalyst
C. parent
D. a baby
Question 60: The word “acquire” in line 12 is closest in meaning to __________.

Ethology is concerned with the study of adaptive, or survival, value of behavior and its
Evolutionary history. Ethological theory began to be applied to research on children in the1960’s but
has become even more influential today. The origins of ethology can be traced to the work of Darwin.
Its modern foundations were laid by two European zoologists, Konrad Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen.
Watching the behaviors diverse animal species in their natural habitats, Lorenz, and Tinbergen
observed behavior patterns that promote survival. The most well-known of these is imprinting, the
early following behavior of certain baby birds that ensures that the young will stay close to their
mother and be fed and protected from danger. Imprinting takes place during an early, restricted time
period of development. If the mother goose is not present during this time, but an object resembling
her in important features is, young goslings may imprint on it instead . Observations of imprinting led
to major concept that has been applied in child development” the critical period . It refers to a limited
times span during which the child is biologically prepared to acquire certain adaptive behaviors but
needs the support of suitably stimulating environment. Many researchers have conducted studies to
find out whether complex cognitive and social behaviors must be learned during restricted time
periods. for example, if children are deprived of adequate food or physical and social stimulation
during the early years of life, will their intelligence be permanently impaired? If language is not
mastered during the preschool years, is the child’s capacity to acquire it reduced?
Inspired by observations of imprinting, in 1969 the British psychoanalyst John Bowlby applied
ethological theory to the understanding of the relationship between an infant and its parents. He argued
that attachment behaviors of babies, such as smiling, babbling, grasping, and crying, are built-in social
signals that encourage the parents to approach, care for, and interact with the baby. By keeping a
parent near, these behaviors help ensure that the baby will be fed, protected from danger, and provided
with the stimulation and affection necessary for healthy growth. The development of attachment in
human infants is a lengthy process involving changes in psychological structures that lead to a deep
affectional tie between parent and baby.

Question 23: According to the passage, attachment behaviors of infants are intended to___________.
A. prepare the infant to cope with separation
B. get the physical, emotional and social needs of the infant met
C. allow the infant to become imprinted on objects that resemble the parent

C.The gosling will not imprint on any object.
D. The mother will later imprint on the gosling.

Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the
country’s impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in
1966. In September 1966 Canada’s population passed the 20 million mark. Most of his surging growth
came from natural increase. The depression of the 1930’s and the war had held back marriages, and the

catching-up process began after 1945. The baby boom continued through the decade of the 1950’s,
producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956. This rate
of increase had been exceeded only once before settle. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of
the 1950’s supported a growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward
earlier marriages and an increase in the average size of families. In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood
at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the world.
After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling until
in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the low level of births
during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society. Young
people were staying at school longer; more women were working; young married couples were buying
automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of
families. It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families
that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution.
Although the growth in Canada’s population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase in the first
half of the 1960’s was only nine percent), another large population wave was coming over the horizon.
It would be composed of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to
1957.
Question 43. According to the passage, when did Canada’s baby boom begin?
A. In the decade after 1911
B. In 1966
C. During the depression of the 1930’s
D. After 1945
Question 44. It can be inferred from the passage that before the Industrial Revolution _________.
A. economic conditions were bad
B. population statistics were unreliable
C. the population grew steadily.
D. families were larger
Question 45. The word “five” in line 2 refers to__________.
A. Canadians
B. decades

C. years
D. marriages

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.
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.
Câu 45: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
B. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
C. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.

D. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.

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 goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the
planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than
2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other
encyclopedias, however, Wikepedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are
not paid and their names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to
share their knowledge.
Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human
knowledge. The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education”. Real
popularity for encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the
publication of encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same
amount of information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible
to create an online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However,
even Internet-based encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the
brainchild of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these. In 2001, he had
the idea for an Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to
everyone. Furthermore, that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at
that time.
But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write
the articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a
long time to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that
everyone would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this
information online. To do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for
“fast”), which allows users to create or alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you
open the web site, you can simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of
articles. If you find an article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it
or expand it. This process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes.
