Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become
increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat
diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart
failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite
surprising.
Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage
of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on
any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few
hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have
since discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and
concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all
contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.

reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days
immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more at risk for heart
attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of the
aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why
and how heart failure is triggered.

A. seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture,
such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals. Although they are important, these
visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip
of the iceberg of culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness. Thus,
neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain “invisible” aspects of their
culture exist.
Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late before
being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention
through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that
we learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural
assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their
behaviour as cultural in origin.

Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise

when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioral differences as cultural rather than personal. We
tend to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence
without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.
Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and
the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more
visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was
wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange,
we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet
when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other
obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result,
mutual misunderstanding may arise.
Câu 55: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To describe cultural diversity.
B. To point out that much of culture is learned consciously.
C. To explain why cross-cultural conflict occurs.
D. To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture.

A. visible aspects of culture are learned in formal institutions
B. most aspects of culture cannot be seen.
C. other cultures seem cold to us.

Câu 58: Which of the following was NOT mentioned as an example of invisible culture?
A. What topics to avoid in conversation.
B. How late is considered impolite
C. What food to eat in a courthouse

D. How people express interest in what others are saying.
Câu 59: The word “those” in paragraph 2 refers to__________.
A. people who speak a different language
B. people from a different culture

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture,
such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals. Although they are important, these
visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip
of the iceberg of culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness. Thus,
neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain “invisible” aspects of their
culture exist.
Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late before
being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention
through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that
we learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural
assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their
behaviour as cultural in origin.
Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise
when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioral differences as cultural rather than personal. We
Trang 10 - Mã đề thi 134


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

tend to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence
without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.
Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and
the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more
visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was
wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange,
we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet
when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other
obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result,
mutual misunderstanding may arise.
Câu 55: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To describe cultural diversity.
B. To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture.
C. To explain why cross-cultural conflict occurs.
D. To point out that much of culture is learned consciously.
Câu 56: The word “rituals” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________.

A. other cultures seem cold to us.

Câu 58: Which of the following was NOT mentioned as an example of invisible culture?
A. What food to eat in a courthouse

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become
increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat
diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart
failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite
surprising.
Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage
of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on
any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few
hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have
since discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and
concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all
contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.
In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics
reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days

immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more at risk for heart
attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of the
aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why
and how heart failure is triggered.

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture,
such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals. Although they are important, these
visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip
of the iceberg of culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness. Thus,
neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain “invisible” aspects of their
culture exist.
Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late before
being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention
through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that
we learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural
assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their
behaviour as cultural in origin.
Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise
when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioral differences as cultural rather than personal. We
tend to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence
without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become
increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat
diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart
failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite
surprising.
Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage
of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on
any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few
hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have
since discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and

concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all
contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.
In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics
reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days
immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more at risk for heart
attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of the
aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why
and how heart failure is triggered.

A. diet and stress as factors in heart attacks

C. seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks
D. cardiology in the 1980s

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture,
such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals. Although they are important, these
visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip
of the iceberg of culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness. Thus,
neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain “invisible” aspects of their
culture exist.
Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late before
being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention
through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that
we learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural
assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their

behaviour as cultural in origin.

Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise
when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioral differences as cultural rather than personal. We
tend to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence
without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.
Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and
the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more
visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was
wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange,
we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet
when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other
obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result,
mutual misunderstanding may arise.
Câu 55: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain why cross-cultural conflict occurs.
B. To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture.
C. To point out that much of culture is learned consciously.
D. To describe cultural diversity.
