Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
For millions of people, the Internet has opened up a whole new world. From their personal computers they are
ordering books, sending greeting cards and finding out about literally anything on Earth. For students it is
invaluable for homework, for travelers it makes planning and booking astonishingly easy, while for many others
it is a great way of keeping in touch with family and friends or, indeed, making new friends. It is, in short, a
wonderful resource for obtaining information, getting things done and communicating with others. And yet it is
also creating one of the fastest-growing social problems of our time: Internet addiction.
A recent study involving Internet users from all over the world found that 50 per cent of them claimed to be
addicted, spending an average of over 60 hours per week online. Some of these reported routinely logging on as
soon as they arrived home from work, university or school, often remaining online until the small
hours. “Sometimes I’m feeling absolutely exhausted, dying to go to bed,” said one respondent, “but then I think
to myself I’ll just try one more page, it might be really good. And then I think the same about the next page.
And the next. And so on.”
The study showed no difference in the rate of addiction between men and women and revealed that many heavy
users simply lost track of time. In extreme cases, they began to neglect themselves, their families and their
friends, apparently preferring the company of their computer to that of other people. They were also found to be
more likely to be depressed than moderate users, although it is as yet unclear whether this is brought about by
the excessive time spent online, or whether already depressed individuals have a greater tendency to stay at
home and engage in what is, essentially, a solitary activity.
The researchers compared it with other addictions such as gambling, which, they say, shares with it the element
of intermittent rewards: in the case of the Internet, the occasional discovery of an exciting web page. In
addition, both activities tend to take place against a background of darkness. Net surfing often takes place at
night; casinos deliberately keep the lights turned down low so that the punters, too, lose all sense of time.
Television addiction, however, appears to be different, as TV watching tends to be more passive, merely filling
the available free time.
Many Internet users, of course, would say the same of going online. So when does “normal” extensive Net
surfing become an addiction? In some cases the indications are clear: skipped meals, lack of sleep, strained
relationships, etc., but in others the symptoms are more subtle. Obsessive users may check and recheck their

email boxes unnecessarily. They may deceive themselves, and others, about how long they actually spend
online session. They might even rush to their PC’s the minute they have the house to themselves, relieved that
others are not there to pass judgement.
What, though, can those who recognize they have a problem actually do about it? The first thing is not to paniC.

One expert points out that many people spend an enormous amount of time reading, say, or talking on the
telephone, sometimes to the detriment of family relationships. Yet nobody talks about “book addiction”, or
“phone addiction” as if they were in some way akin to chronic alcoholism or heavy smoking. If they are cutting
themselves off, so this theory goes, it is because of a weak relationship. Going online is merely one way, like
turning on the TV or going out for a drink, of avoiding conversation with those at home. The problem is the
relationship, not the computer.
Where an addiction genuinely does exist, the advice is to seek professional help similar to that for sufferers of
other compulsive disorders. This consists of gradually reducing the time spent online, as well as dealing with
any personal difficulties that may underlie the condition. Other experts advise the addict to talk to support
groups specifically formed to help people with the problem of Internet overuse. Ironically, these groups can
currently only be contacted via the Internet.
6.What did the study discover?
A: Half of all users always go online when they get home.
B: The heaviest users are usually male.
C: Some keep hoping to find something interesting online.
D: Many people remain online throughout the day.
Đáp án : Some keep hoping to find something interesting online.
“I think to myself I’ll just try one more page, it might be really good. And then I think the same about the next
page. And the next. And so on.” (Tôi tự nhủ là sẽ chỉ xem thử thêm một trang nữa, biết đâu sẽ có gì đó rất hay.
Và sau đó tôi lại nghĩ chính xác điều đó khi xem trang tiếp theo. Rồi trang tiếp theo cũng vậy. Và cứ thế.).
7.According to the text, depression ________.
A: is caused by Internet addiction
B: leads to overuse of the Internet

C: is associated with heavy Internet use
D: is common among all Internet users
Đáp án : is associated with heavy Internet use.
“many heavy users simply lost track of time. (…)They were also found to be more likely to be depressed than
moderate users.” (Những người sử dụng quá nhiều thường là đều mất ý niệm về thời gian. (…) Họ cũng được
chứng minh là dễ bị suy nhược hơn những người sử dụng ít.).
8.In the fourth paragraph, the writer implies that ________.
A: people prefer to gamble in darkened places
B: Internet addicts are often also gamblers
C: gamblers rarely win
D: gambling is less harmful than Internet addiction
Đáp án : gamblers rarely win
“The researchers compared it with other addictions such as gambling, which, they say, shares with it the
element of intermittent rewards”(Các nhà nghiên cứu đã so sánh nó với những loại nghiện khác như nghiện cờ
bạc, cái mà họ nói là có cùng một đặc điểm với nó, chính là phần thưởng lúc có lúc không).
9.Which of these is an example of a less obvious sign of addiction?
A: Telling other people how long they have spent online.
B: Being afraid that other people will criticise them.
C: Being shocked to discover how long they have spent online.

4 Cô Luận 0904 678 029


Đáp án : Being afraid that other people will criticise them.
“in others the symptoms are more subtle. (…)They might even rush to their PC’s the minute they have the house
to themselves, relieved that others are not there to pass judgement.” (ở những trường hợp khác, những triệu
chứng này khá khó thấy. (…) Họ thậm chí sẽ lao đến chiếc máy vi tính ngay giây phút họ được ở nhà một mình
và thở phào nhẹ nhõm rằng sẽ không có ai ở đó để phán xét họ.).
10.In the sixth paragraph, the author likens heavy Internet use to ________.
A: smoking a lot of cigarettes

B: drinking too much alcohol
C: talking to relatives for many hours
D: having long telephone conversations
Đáp án : having long telephone conversations
“many people spend an enormous amount of time reading, say, or talking on the telephone, sometimes to the
detriment of family relationships. Yet nobody talks about “book addiction”, or “phone addiction” as if they
were in some way akin to chronic alcoholism or heavy smoking. If they are cutting themselves off, so this theory
goes, it is because of a weak relationship. Going online is merely one way, like turning on the TV or going out
for a drink, of avoiding conversation with those at home.” (ví dụ như rất nhiều người dành một lượng lớn thời
gian để đọc sách, hoặc nói chuyện điện thoại, đôi khi là đến mức có hại cho cả các mối quan hệ trong gia đình.
Nhưng không ai nói về “nghiện sách” hay “nghiện điện thoại” như thể chúng cũng giống như nghiện rượu lâu
năm hay nghiện thuốc lá nặng. Do đó theo giả thuyết này thì hiểu một cách sâu xa, nó là vì một mối quan hệ
nào đó đang suy yếu. Việc lên mạng, cũng giống như bật ti vi lên hay đi ra ngoài uống rượu, đơn giản chỉ là một
cách để lảng tránh tiếp xúc với những người trong gia đình.)
11.Which, according to the author, could have the opposite result from what is intended?
A: Discussing the addiction with specialist organizations.
B: Treating the possible causes of the addiction.
C: Attempting to spend less time online.

Đáp án : Discussing the addiction with specialist organizations.
“Other experts advise the addict to talk to support groups specifically formed to help people with the problem
of Internet overuse. Ironically, these groups can currently only be contacted via the Internet.” (Một số chuyên
gia khác khuyên người nghiện nên nói chuyện với các nhóm hỗ trợ đặc biệt được lập ra để giúp đỡ những người
gặp phải vấn đề với việc sử dụng Internet quá nhiều. Trớ trêu thay những nhóm này hiện tại chỉ có thể liên lạc
thông qua Internet.)
12.What is the author’s aim in writing this text?
A : To discourage people from using the Internet.
B: To describe Internet addiction and suggest remedies.
C: To call for more controls on the content of Internet pages.
D: To dismiss claims that the Internet is addictive

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
“How is the Dictionary getting on?” said Winston, raising his voice to overcome the noise.
“Slowly,” said Syme. “I’m on the adjectives. It’s fascinating.”
13 Cô Luận 0904 678 029


He had brightened up immediately at the mention of Newspeak. He pushed his bowl aside, took up his hunk of
bread in one delicate hand and his cheese in the other, and leaned across the table so as to be able to speak
without shouting.
“The Eleventh Edition is the definitive edition,” he said. “We’re getting the language into its final shape – the
shape it’s going to have when nobody speaks anything else. When we’ve finished with it, people like you will
have to learn it all over again. You think, I dare say, that our chief job is inventing new words. But not a bit of it!
We’re destroying words – scores of them, hundreds of them, every day. We’re cutting the language down to the
bone. The Eleventh Edition won’t contain a single word that will become obsolete before the year 2050.”
He bit hungrily into his bread and swallowed a couple of mouthfuls, then continued speaking, with a sort of
pedant’s passion. His thin dark face had become animated, his eyes had lost their mocking expression and
grown almost dreamy.
“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but
there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well. It isn’t only the synonyms; there are also the
antonyms. After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other word? A
word contains its opposite in itself. Take “good”, for instance. If you have a word like “good”, what need is
there for a word like “bad”? “Ungood” will do just as well – better, because it’s an exact opposite, which the

other is not. Or again, if you want a stronger version of “good”, what sense is there in having a whole string of
vague useless words like “excellent” and “splendid” and all the rest of them? “Plusgood” covers the meaning, or
“double-plusgood” if you want something stronger still. Of course we use those forms already. But in the final
version of Newspeak there’ll be nothing else. In the end the whole notion of goodness and badness will be
covered by only six words – in reality, only one word. Don’t you see the beauty of that, Winston? It was B.B.’s
idea originally, of course,” he added as an afterthought.
A sort of vapid eagerness flitted across Winston’s face at the mention of Big Brother. Nevertheless, Syme
immediately detected a certain lack of enthusiasm.
“You haven’t a real appreciation of Newspeak, Winston,” he said almost sadly. “Even when you write it you’re
still thinking of Oldspeak. I’ve read some of those pieces that you write in “The Times” occasionally. They’re
good enough, but they’re translations. In your heart you’d prefer to stick to Oldspeak, with all its vagueness and
its useless shades of meaning. You don’t grasp the beauty of the destruction of words. Do you know that
Newspeak is the only language in the world whose vocabulary gets smaller every year?”
Winston did know that, of course. He smiled, sympathetically he hoped, not trusting himself to speak. Syme bit
off another fragment of the dark-colored bread, chewed it briefly, and went on:
“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make
thoughtcrime literally impossible because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can
ever needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary
meanings rubbed out and forgotten. Already, in the Eleventh Edition, we’re not far from that point. But the
14 Cô Luận 0904 678 029


process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range
of consciousness always a little smaller. Even now, of course, there’s no reason or excuse for committing
thoughtcrime. It’s merely a question of self-discipline, reality-control. But in the end there won’t be any need
even for that. The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect. Newspeak is Ingsoc and Ingsoc is
Newspeak,” he added with a sort of mystical satisfaction. “Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the
year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation
as we are having now?”
(Extracted from science fiction “1984”)

The advantages and disadvantages of living in an extended family
Topic sentence needs to emphasize: Living in an extended family, which consists of at least three generations,
has its own advantages and disadvantages/merits and demerits/good points and bad points/benefits and
downsides ...
Main idea 1: Advantages
- Supporting idea 1: In an extended family, traditions are preserved better. The modern lifestyles may
cause the youth to forget some traditionals, precious rules and customs such as making "chung" cake at Tet,...
The elderly people teach their children and grandchildren the ways to maintain those valuable traditions.
- Supporting idea 2: An extended family is ideal when everyone is in need of help. The older members
are source of life experiences while the younger ones have great enthusiasm and willingness. If there are any

problems arising, there will be more people to solve them.
Main idea 2: Disadvantages
- Supporting idea 1: Generation gap will be the worst issue in an extended family. Besides the good traditions,
grandparents also want to keep some old-fashion ideas and are unwilling to change them. Those can cause
arguments and conflicts with their children.
- Supporting idea 2: In an extended family, the lack of privacy is unavoidable. If you do something wrong or
have a small quarrel, the whole family will know.
Concluding sentence should emphasize: Every issue has its two sides, so does living in an extended family.
Overall, the benefits still outweigh the downsides. Therefore, this type of family should be developed.
