Đọc đoạn văn dới đây và viết câu trả lời trả lời ngắn gọn cho mỗi câu hỏi từ 36 đến 40 vào phần _____ sau mỗi câu hỏi.

For thousands of years, the ancient art form of Feng Shui has played a major role in Chinese life. Feng Shui means wind and water and
it is based on an appreciation of the relationship between people and the environment. It involves changing the design of your living or
working space to improve your fortune.
For instance, soon after a Hong Kong millionaire moved his business to a new skyscraper, his business began to do very badly. He
immediately called in Feng Shui experts. They told him that because his new office block was round, it was like a huge cigarette, and all
the energy was burning off through the roof. They said that the only thing he could do to prevent this loss of energy was to build a
swimming pool on the roof. The millionaire followed their advice, and his business immediately started to do well.
In recent years, Feng Shui has become popular in many western countries, where companies such as B&Q have started to seek advice
from Feng Shui experts. Before his store was opened, Brian Ingliss, the manager of one of B & Q's stores in Britain, consulted a Feng
Shui expert. The expert advised him to create a lot of free space around the store. Brian followed the advice, and within a year, the store
was the most successful B&Q store in the country.
36. What kind of relationship does Feng Shui concern?
37. According to Feng Shui, what's wrong with a round building?
38. What did the Feng Shui expert advise Brian to do?
39. How did Brian's store benefit from following this advice?
40. What can be said about the writer's attitude towards Feng Shui?

Mozart, who was born on January 27, 1756 in the Austrian city of Salzburg, was neither the first nor the last child prodigy, but he was
certainly the greatest. He was born into a moderately prosperous family where his unmatched musical genius made itself known extremely
early. Mozart began learning to play the harpsichord at three and his earliest known work was composed in 1761 when he was five, the age
at which he also first appeared in public. From the age of six, when his father took him on the first foreign tour, Mozart toured the courts and
musical centres of Austria, Germany, France, England, Holland, Switzerland and Italy. It has been calculated that Mozart spent almost a third
of his short life - he died at the age of 35 - travelling. As Mozart matured, he continued to tour and give concerts. Mozart also wrote a lot of
operas. His first opera, Mitridate, Re di Ponto, was performed in Milan when he was 14, and it was the first of many successes in the theatre.

Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be friends with them or

that you don't trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain as it may seem. For instance, people give out
body language signals all the time. The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood. If you hold your
arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive. Holding your
head to one side shows interest in the other, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident. All this affects the
way you feel about someone.
Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be because of something as simple as the fact that
he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly. Your feelings about a stranger could be influenced by a
smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child. Since even a single word can bring back a memory
such as that, you may never realize it is happening.

Câu 46: What does the word "open" in the passage most closely mean?
A. Unrestrained.

B. Relaxed.

C. Confined.

D. Unlimited.

Câu 47: What influences your impression of a person you meet the first time?
A. Intuition.

B. Familiarity.

C. Knowledge.

D. Feeling.

Câu 48: What one feels about a stranger may be influenced by something that ________.
A. strengthens one's past behaviours

B. reminds one of one's past treatment
C. revives one's past memories
D. points to one's childhood
Câu 49: What does the second paragraph discuss?
A. Meanings of signals one implies towards a stranger.
B. Factors that may influence one's feelings about a stranger.
C. How people usually behave to a stranger.

Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy were pinned
was the ideal that its citizens would be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for individual
achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the commitment to
education defines the progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the
test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly
vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of change. It is important to recognize, however, that we
approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn't require the kind of basic
education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of
American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled, and 60 percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed.
The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while skilled jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce.
Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that
require learning throughout a lifetime.


Câu 51: Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of change because ______.
A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far
B. the government of the United States want to drive social changes in their own ways
C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce
D. any American citizen who wants to change his driving licence must be very well-educated
Câu 52: The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US _______ between the 1950s and now.
B. has changed dramatically
A. has remained the same
C. has been reversed
D. has changed slightly
Câu 53: The phrase "enlightened individuals" in the first sentence most likely means "people who _______."
A. always appear brilliant-looking in public
B. have often been well-exposed to light
C. have acquired an adequate level of education
D. bring light to anywhere they go
Câu 54: In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author's point of view, any individual must _______.
A. know well all his/her rights and be ready to grasp his/her opportunity of success in life
B. study carefully the history of American educational and vocational systems even since their creation
C. understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical skills
D. move actively forward in the new Information Era and international economy with a prestigious diploma
Câu 55: Which of the following titles would be best for the passage?
A. Education and Jobs in the Past and at Present in the United States
B. The Significant Role of Education in American Citizens' Careers
C. Academic Knowledge and Practical Skills in American Professions
D. Recent Changes of Educational and Vocational Systems in America

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and
medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only
during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.
One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud
was a distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have
revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves
changed in character.

The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the
number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in
the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of
reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading
aloud would cause distraction to other readers.
Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be
used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was
in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever
its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one
hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other.
By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and
to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and
technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied.
Câu 1: Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because ______.
A. people relied on reading for entertainment

A. for everybody’s use

A. an increase in the average age of readers
B. an increase in the number of books

A. the decreasing need to read aloud

B. the development of libraries

indication of ______.
A. a decline of standards of literacy
B. a change in the readers’ interest
C. an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes

A. a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge

The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert
hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years and
is thousands of times larger than the Earth.
By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About five
billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The
higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun
will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the
Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist.
Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it
shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of

gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.
After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat.
Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If
any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface.
Câu 41: It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun ______.
A. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf
B. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years
C. has been in existence for 10 billion years
D. is rapidly changing in size and brightness
Câu 42: What will probably be the first stage of change for the Sun to become a red giant?
A. Its surface will become hotter and shrink.
B. It will throw off huge amounts of gases.
C. Its central part will grow smaller and hotter.
D. Its core will cool off and use less fuel.
Câu 43: When the Sun becomes a red giant, what will the atmosphere be like on the Earth?
A. It will be enveloped in the expanding surface of the sun.
B. It will become too hot for life to exist.
C. It will be almost destroyed by nova explosions.
D. It will freeze and become solid.

The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert
hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years and
is thousands of times larger than the Earth.
By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About five
billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The
higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun
will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the
Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist.
Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it
shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of
gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.
After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat.
Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If
any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface.
Câu 31: It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun ______.
A. has been in existence for 10 billion years
B. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years
C. is rapidly changing in size and brightness
D. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf
Câu 32: What will probably be the first stage of change for the Sun to become a red giant?
A. It will throw off huge amounts of gases.
B. Its core will cool off and use less fuel.
C. Its surface will become hotter and shrink.

D. Its central part will grow smaller and hotter.
Câu 33: When the Sun becomes a red giant, what will the atmosphere be like on the Earth?
A. It will become too hot for life to exist.
B. It will be almost destroyed by nova explosions.
C. It will freeze and become solid.
D. It will be enveloped in the expanding surface of the sun.

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and
medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only
during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.
One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud
was a distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have
revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves
changed in character.
The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the

number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in
the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of
reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading
aloud would cause distraction to other readers.
Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be
used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was
in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever
its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one
hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other.
By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and
to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and
technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied.
Câu 56: Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because ______.
A. there were few places available for private reading
B. silent reading had not been discovered
C. people relied on reading for entertainment
D. few people could read to themselves
Câu 57: The word “commonplace” in the first paragraph mostly means “______”.
A. for everybody’s use
B. most preferable
C. widely used
D. attracting attention
Câu 58: The development of silent reading during the last century indicated ______.
A. a change in the nature of reading
B. an increase in the number of books
C. a change in the status of literate people
D. an increase in the average age of readers
Câu 59: Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of ______.
A. the decreasing number of listeners
B. the development of libraries

C. the decreasing need to read aloud
D. the increase in literacy
Câu 60: It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an
indication of ______.
A. a decline of standards of literacy
B. an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes
C. a change in the readers’ interest
D. an improvement of printing techniques
Câu 61: The phrase “a specialised readership” in paragraph 4 mostly means “______”.
A. a reading volume for particular professionals
B. a status for readers specialised in mass media
C. a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge
D. a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge
Câu 62: The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means “a person who ______”.
A. is interested in spoken language
B. is good at public speaking
C. practises reading to an audience
D. takes part in an audition
Câu 63: All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy culture
EXCEPT ______.
A. the inappropriate reading skills
B. the printed mass media
C. the specialised readership
D. the diversity of reading materials
Câu 64: Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Not all printed mass media was appropriate for reading aloud.
B. Reading aloud was more common in the past than it is today.
C. The decline of reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect.
D. The change in reading habits was partly due to the social, cultural and technological changes.
Câu 65: The writer of this passage is attempting to ______.

A. change people’s attitudes to reading
B. explain how reading habits have developed
C. encourage the growth of reading
D. show how reading methods have improved
