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
The custom of paying a bride price before marriage is still a well-established part of many
African cultures. In paying a bride price, the family of the groom must provide payment to the family
of the bride before the marriage is allowed. The bride price can vary greatly from culture to culture in
Africa. In the Zulu and Swazi tribes of southern Africa, the bride price often takes the form of cattle. In
Western African, kola nuts, shells, and other goods are often used for the payment of the bride price.
The actual payment of money sometimes takes place, but the payment of goods is more frequent. The
amount of paid in a bride price can also vary. In modern times, the bride price is occasionally quite
small and its value is mainly symbolic. However, the bride price can still be quite high, especially
among prominent or highly traditional families.
There are a number of justifications used to explain the payment of bride price. The first is that
the bride price represents an acknowledgement of the expense the bride’s family has gone in order to
raise her and bring her up as a suitable bride for the groom. It also represents payment for the loss of a
family member, since the bride will officially become a member of her husband’s family and will
leave her own. On a deeper level the bride price represents payment for the fact that the bride will
bring children into the family of the groom, thereby increasing the wealth of the family. This concept
is reinforced by the fact that the bride price must often be returned if the bride fails to bear children.
The payment of the bride price has quite a number of effects on African society. First, the
payment of bride price acts to increase the stability of African family structures. Sons are dependent
on their fathers and older relatives to help them pay the bride price of their wives, and this
generally leads to greater levels of obedience and respect. The negotiations between the two
Trang 3/6 - Mã đề 132


families concerning the bride price allow the parents and other family members to meet and get to
know one another before the marriage. Finally, since the bride price must often be repaid in case of
divorce, the bride’s family often works to make sure that any marital problems are solved quickly.

Bride prices also work as a system of wealth distribution in African cultures. Wealthier families can
afford to support the marriage of their son, and thus their wealth is transferred to other families.
Question 40: Based on the information in paragraph 1, the term bride price can best be explained as
_______.
A. the costs associated with a traditional wedding
B. the payment of money to a newly married couple
C. money paid to a woman’s family for permission to marry

______.
A. its amount and form can vary
B. it is a relatively new practice in Africa
C. its practice is occasionally only symbolic
D. it is generally higher among traditional families
Question 42: Why does the author mention the payment of money?
A. To illustrate how the practice of bride price has changed over time.
B. To demonstrate how expensive a bride price can be sometimes.
C. To demonstrate the differences in how rich and poor families pay the bride price.
D. To stress that the use of goods in the payment of bride price is most common.
Question 43: The word “prominent” in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.
A. conservative

C. religious
D. educated

A. obedient and respectful sons can rely on their fathers and elder to help them pay the bride price
of their wives
B. sons are dependent on their fathers and elders, and this makes them more obedient and respectful
C. sons respect the fact that their fathers and elders will help them pay the bride price of their wives
D. young men must obey their father and elders because they need their help to pay the bride price
of the their wives

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 pain of a migraine headache can virtually disable a person who suffers from it. Millions and
millions of people suffer from migraines, although many of them do not even recognize that a
migraine is different from a regular headache. A migraine is not at all the same as a normal headache,
and it seems to have a very physical cause.
One symptom of a migraine is a precursor, which is a visual aura before an attack. Yet only about
a third of patients actually experience that, and it is, therefore, not a requirement in the diagnosis.
Other symptoms include increased pain when a person moves, nausea, and sensitivity to light and
sound.
Scientists now believe that migraines are caused, not by abnormal blood vessels as previously
believed, but instead by a unique electrical disorder of brain cells. Physicians used to treat migraines
with medicine to constrict blood vessels because of the belief that dilated blood vessels were the cause.
The new research has been enhanced by imaging devices that allow scientists to watch patients’
brains during an attack. The results show that sufferers have abnormally excitable neurons, or brain
nerve cells. Prior to the attack, the neurons suddenly fire off electrical pulses at the back of the brain,
which ripple like waves on a lake after a stone hits the water. They ripple across the top and then the
back of the brain, ultimately affecting the brain stem where the pain centers are located. The pain then
generates possibly from the brain stem itself or from blood vessels inflamed by the rapidly changing
blood flow, or perhaps from both.
Scientists have experimented by applying a powerful magnet to stimulate the neurons and
discovered that some people’s brains react differently than others’. When stimulation was applied to
the brains of people who had suffered migraines, they saw the initial aura, and some actually suffered
migraines. When the same stimulation was applied to the brains of people who had never suffered
migraines, they realized no effect and the neurons showed no change.
Scientists and doctors continue to work on the research in an attempt to find the perfect treatment.
It is considered important to treat migraines because it is believed that prolonged untreated attacks
could cause physical changes in the brain leading to chronic pain.

Question 50: The author implies that a migraine _______.
A. is caused by the same things that cause a headache
B. can be treated with regular aspirin

A. described
B. studied
C. hindered
D. augmented
Question 54: The new research indicates that the neurons in the brain of migraine sufferers ______ .
A. have more electrical charge than those of people who do not suffer migraines
B. do not react
C. tend to fire in an unusual pattern when a migraine begins
D. have no effect on migraines
Question 55: Scientists have recently learned more about the cause of migraines from _____ .
A. using imaging devices that allow one to watch the neurons
B. giving patients aspirin and watching for results
C. asking patients to describe the symptoms
D. taking blood tests

Question 56: According to the passage, scientists now know that unusual neurons in certain people
