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 3 to 9.
One of the most dangerous drugs for pregnant women to consume is alcohol. Because alcohol is
delivered quickly into the blood and passes quickly into the tissues and membranes, the human fetus is
particularly vulnerable to its effects. The reality is that the negative effects on a fetus are so
pronounced that babies born after exposure to alcohol are said to be suffering from fetal alcohol
syndrome. As a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her bloodstream almost
simultaneously. Moreover, because the bloodstream of the fetus is inextricably tied to that of the
mother, the alcohol passes directly into the bloodstream of the fetus as well. And, what is more, the
concentration of alcohol in the fetus is exactly the same as in the mother.
For the mother, this concentration is not a problem because her liver can remove one ounce of
alcohol from her system per hour. However, the fetus's liver is not completely developed (how
developed it is depends on its stage of development). The rate at which it is able to eliminate the
alcohol from the blood of the fetus is much slower. Eventually, the alcohol will be returned to the
mother's system by passing across the placenta, but this process is slow. By the time this takes place,
major neurological damage may have already occurred.
Research has shown that as little as one drink of alcohol can produce significant, irreversible
damage to the fetus. Babies born after exposure to alcohol generally exhibit facial distortion, inability
to concentrate, and difficulty in remembering. Simply speaking, it is imperative that pregnant women
avoid alcohol.

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 10 to 17.
After 1785, the production of children's books in the Untied States increased but remained largely
reprints of British books, often those published by John Newbery, the first publisher to produce books
aimed primarily at diverting a child audience. Ultimately, however, it was not the cheerful,
commercial-minded Newbery, but Anglo-Irish author Maria Edgeworth who had the strongest
influence on this period of American children's literature. The eighteenth century had seen a gradual
shift away from the spiritual intensity of earlier American religious writings for children, toward a
more generalized moralism. Newbery notwithstanding, Americans still looked on children's books as
vehicles for instruction, not amusement, though they would accept a moderate amount of fictional
entertainment for the sake of more successful instruction. As the children's book market expanded,
then, what both public and publishers wanted was the kind of fiction Maria Edgeworth wrote: stories
interesting enough to attract children and morally instructive enough to allay adult distrust of fiction.
American reaction against imported books for children set in after the War of 1812 with the
British. A wave of nationalism permeated everything, and the self-conscious new nation found foreign
writings (particularly those from the British monarchy) unsuitable for the children of a democratic
republic, a slate of self-governing, equal citizens. Publishers of children's books began to encourage
American writers to write for American children. When they responded, the pattern established by
Maria Edgeworth was at hand, attractive to most of them for both its rationalism and its high moral
tone. Early in the 1820's, stories of willful children learning to obey, of careless children learning to
VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí
take care, of selfish children learning to "tire for others," started to flow from American presses,
successfully achieving Edgeworth's tone, though rarely her lively style. Imitative as they were, these
early American stories wee quite distinguishable from their British counterparts. Few servants
appeared in them, and if class distinctions had by no means disappeared, there was much democratic
insistence on the worthiness of every level of birth and work. The characters of children in this fiction
were serious, conscientious, self-reflective, and independent-testimony to the continuing influence of
the earlier American moralistic tradition in children's books.
Question 10. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Basic differences between British and American literature for children
