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 36 to 42.
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For
employees whose job 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 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 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.

History books record that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or
"talkies", did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in
1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a
small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy- sound-effects machines. Research into

sound that was reproduced at exactly the same time as the pictures – called "synchronized sound" – began
soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could
sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying
music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures
could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the
projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence. In the "soundon-film" system, sounds were recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical
sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization.
Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us "talking
pictures".
Question 43: The passage is mainly about the______.
A. disadvantages of synchronized sound

B. history of silent movies

C. development of sound with movies

D. research into sound reproduction

Question 44: According to the passage, films using sound effects were screened______
A. as early as 1896

B. as early as 1922

C. before 1896

D. in 1927

Question 45: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a producer of sound to accompany movies?
A. a jazz singer

B. a small band

C. a gramophone

D. a single pianist

Question 46: It can be inferred that______ .
A. sound-effects machines were not common because they were expensive
B. gramophones were developed about the same time as moving pictures
C. orchestras couldn't synchronize sound with pictures
D. most movie theatres had a pianist
Question 47: The word "sequence" is closest in meaning to ______.
A. organization

B. distribution

C. interpretation

D. progression

Question 48:The phrase "these signals" refers to______.
A. sensors

B. marks

EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE
Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the
way we communicate. Today's college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to
learn about their field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can
Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 246


participate in lifelike simulated experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of
education made possible through developments in information technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some of
the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction
from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students
must complete a minimum number of study hours per year; however, they may make up these
hours by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in
the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is
learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week
each student studies online as well as that student’s learning materials and assessment
activities. Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the
best learning activities and conditions for each individual student and generate similar activities. It
can also identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the
student’s needs.
41. What is the topic of the passage?
A. Students don't have to go to school any more.
B. The effect of information technology on education.
C. Students can know about their weak aspects to focus.
D. Computer software will make sure students learn at home.
42. How many times are children who are older than 10 required to go to school weekly?

A. Three times
B. No time
C. Once or twice
D. Four times
43. Who/what counts the number of hours per week that students spend learning?
A. Teacher
B. Parents
C. Virtual reality
D. Computers
44. What CAN’T the software do?
A. find out the best activities for the students B. design materials for the students
C. identify weaknesses of the students
D. monitor the time the students learn
45. What is NOT MENTIONED as a benefit of information technology to the students?
A. Students can learn at times that suit their schedule.
B. Students can stay at home to learn.
C. Students' learning time won't be monitored.
D. Students' weak achievement can be identified.

The Tundra, a very cold flat land situated at the Artic region of North America, is covered with snow all year

food for their families.

of animals which they killed or trapped around their land.

The Eskimos practiced and organized family system. It was the father's work to do hunting and fishing. he also
had to make boats, tools, sledges and weapons out of animal skins, bones, ivory and stones. he was also responsible for
providing the transportation system of the family.
The mother's duty was to skin and cut up the animals and prepare the meat. she also had to cook the meals and
make all her family's clothes from the skin. Sometimes she helped to collect food by catching small fish or by gathering
birds' eggs.
When the children reached the age of nine or ten, they would start learning the skills they needed. The girls would
watch and learn from their mothers how to cook and sew. The boys would follow their fathers to learn all the skills about
hunting and fishing.
The grandparents helped to take care of the children. They told them stories and taught them about the Eskimo way
of life.
Today most of the Eskimos lead a modern way of life. They live in wooden houses in the village. Their houses have
all the facilities of modern living. they buy their food, clothes and weapon from the store owned by the Europeans. Their
children attend the village school. Nowadays the Eskimos move from place to place on snow-mobiles, their most common
form of transport.

Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral
speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign
language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute
have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very
picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A
nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots
read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture
signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques
also express human thoughts and feelings.

A. tourists

THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
The golden Gate Bridge is one of the symbols of the United States of America. It is located in San
Francisco, California, and spans the Golden Gate strait-a mile wide strait that connects the Pacific Ocean
to the San francisco Bay.
It is sure one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, and also one of the tallest (the height of a
bridge is the height of the towers ). The bridge as it is today was designed by architects Irving and
Gertrude Morrow. However thier art deco project was not the first Golden Gate Bridge. The original
plans for the bridge were drawn in 1961, but they were of a very complicated and ugly structure, certainly
not something could be ever proud of.
The bridge was a true experiment in its time, such a long suspension bridge had never been tried
before. It had the hightest towers, the thickest cables and the largest underwater foundations ever built.

The foundations were a real problem, because they had to be cast in a depth of more than 100 feet.
Extreme depth wasn't the sole problem. The real challenge lay in the sinking of the piers in the violent
waves of the open sea, which was thought to be almost impossible the construction began in 1933 and
was finished in 1937,when the bridge opened to pedestrians. ( It was opened to cars one years later ). The
bridge was finished ahead of schedule and cost much less than was estimated.Today the Golden Gate
Bridge has a main span of 4,200 feet ( almost a mile ) and a total length of 8,981 feet. The towers
supporting the huge cables rise 746 feet above the water. Each steel cable is 7,650 long and has a
diameter of 36 inches.
''International orange '' is the color the bridge has always been painted. The architects chose it
because it blends well with the span's natural setting. However, if the Navy had had its way, the bridge
would have been painted black with yellow stripes-in favor of greater visibility for passing ships. There
are fog horns to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and aircraf beacon on the tops of the towers
to prevent planes from crashing into them.
