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.
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education.
Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction
between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It
can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It
includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning.
The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio,
from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often
produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known
of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad,
inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that
should be an integral part of one's entire life.

CHÚC MỪNG NĂM MỚI 2018

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little
from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time,
take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The
slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of
government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught.
For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about
political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are
definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

A. equitable

B. profitable

C. pleasant

D. essential

C. boundaries

D. seats

A. slices of reality

B. similar textbooks

Question 33: The phrase “For example,” line 19, introduces a sentence that gives examples of
A. similar textbooks

the position of the primary stress in each of the following questions.
Question 36:

A. compete

B. finish

C. variety

Question 37:

A. develop

B. attractive

C. advertise

D. construction

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.
Orchids are unique in having the most highly developed of all blossoms, in which the usual male and female
reproductive organs are fused in a single structure called the column. The column is designed so that a single
pollination will fertilize hundreds of thousands, and in some cases millions, of seeds, so microscopic and light
they are easily carried by the breeze. Surrounding the column are three sepals and three petals, sometimes easily
recognizable as such, often distorted into gorgeous, weird, but always functional shapes. The most noticeable of
the petals is called the labellum, or lip. It is often dramatically marked as an unmistakable landing strip to attract
the specific insect the orchid has chosen as its pollinator.
To lure their pollinators from afar, orchids use appropriately intriguing shapes, colors, and scents. At least
50 different aromatic compounds have been analyzed in the orchid family, each blended to attract one, or at most
a few, species of insects or birds. Some orchids even change their scents to interest different insects at different
times.

Once the right insect has been attracted, some orchids present all sorts of one-way obstacle courses to
make sure it does not leave until pollen has been accurately placed or removed. By such ingenious adaptations to
specific pollinators, orchids have avoided the hazards of rampant crossbreeding in the wild, assuring the survival
of species as discrete identities. At the same time they have made themselves irresistible to collectors.

Question 38: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Birds

B. Insects

C. Flowers

D. Perfume

Question 39: The orchid is unique because of
A. the habitat in which it lives

B. the structure of its blossom

C. the variety of products that can be made from it

D. the length of its life

Question 40: The word "fused" in line 2 is closest in meaning to
A. combined

B. hidden

C. fertilized

D. produced

Question 41: How many orchid seeds are typically pollinated at one time?
A. 200

B. 2,000

C. 20,000

D. 200,000

Question 42: Which of the following is a kind of petal?
A. The column

B. The sepal

C. The stem

D. The labellum

Question 43: The “labellum” (line 7) is most comparable to
A. a microscope

B. an obstacle course C. an airport runway

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.
The classic Neanderthals, who lived between about 70,000 and 30,000 years ago, shared a number of special
characteristics. Like any biological population, Neanderthals also showed variation in the degree to which
those characteristics were expressed. Generally, they were powerfully built, short and stocky, with the lower
parts of their arms and legs short in relation to the upper parts, as in modern peoples who live in cold
environments. Neanderthal skulls were distinctive, housing brains even larger on average than those of
modern humans, a feature that may have had more to do with their large, heavy bodies than with superior
intelligence. Seen from behind, Neanderthal skulls look almost spherical, but from the side they are long and
flattened often with a bulging back.
The Neanderthal face, dominated by a projecting and full nose, differed clearly from the faces of
other hominids; the middle parts appear to be pulled forward (or the sides pulled back), resulting in a rather
streamlined face shape. This peculiarity may have been related to the greater importance (in cultural
activities as well as food processing) of the front teeth, which are large and part of a row of teeth that lies
well forward in the head; it may reflect a reduction in importance of certain jaw muscles operating at the
sides of the face; or it may reflect an adaptation to cold. Whether it results from any or all of these three
factors or from other, undiscovered causes, this midfacial projection is so characteristic that it unfailingly
identifies a Neanderthal to the trained eye. Neanderthal teeth are much more difficult to characterize: the
front teeth are large, with strong roots, but the back teeth may be relatively small. This feature may have
been an adaptation to cope with heavy tooth wear.

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 16 to 22.

Homing pigeons are placed in a training program from about the time they are twenty-eight days of
age. They are taught to enter the loft through a trap and to exercise above and around the loft, and gradually
they are taken away for short distances in wicker baskets and released. They are then expected to find their
way home in the shortest possible time. In their training flights or in actual races, the birds are taken to
prearranged distant points and released to find their way back to their own lofts. Once the birds are liberated,
their owners, who are standing by at the home lofts, anxiously watch the sky for the return of their entries.
Since time is of the essence, the speed with which the birds can be induced to enter the loft trap may make
the difference between gaining a win or a second place.
The head of a homing pigeon is comparatively small, but its brain is one quarter larger than that of
the ordinary pigeon. The homing pigeon is very intelligent and will persevere to the point of stubbornness
some have been known to fly a hundred miles off course to avoid a storm.
Some homing pigeon experts claim that this bird is gifted with a form of built-in radar that helps it
find its own loft after hours of flight, for hidden under the head feathers are two very sensitive ears, while
the sharp, prominent eyes can see great distances in daytime.

Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of
skating didn’t exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making
musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and
dreams. People called him a dreamer.
One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited.
As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had
an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe.
These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention as he dreamed of arriving at the
party on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see

him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on.
Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces.

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.
Technology has utterly transformed our ability to communicate with each other. Linking to each other both
literally and figuratively, many of us connect through cell phones, email, instant messaging, blogs, and
networking web sites, yet we may be less connected to each other than we think.
According to a study, Americans are becoming increasingly socially isolated. The study reveals, for
example, that one quarter of Americans say that they have no one to discuss important personal issues with,
and that the number of close friends that American have has dropped from three to two. Meanwhile, the
Boston Globe reports that this spreading isolation is experienced more sharply among those with less
education, people of color, and older Americans. Unsurprisingly, those who are young, white, and well
educated tend to have stronger social networks.
From my own experience I have to say that I’ve never felt more connected, thanks to a web of friends,
family, and colleagues. One of my closest friends is someone I met through an online discussion group who
lives hundreds of miles away from me. We have met face-to-face only twice, yet our regular electronic
correspondence and cell phone calls sustain our close friendship. And, speaking of blogging, my blog has
introduced me to people I would never have met otherwise and has led to enduring and important
friendships.
On the other hand, I recently saw a scene unfold that proved to me how deeply disconnected we as
Americans have become. I had just wrapped up a presentation on mediation at a family therapy center. As I

was leaving, I noticed a mother and her teenage son who had just completed their session with their family
therapist. After making their next appointment, they both took out their cell phones, placed calls, and began
loud conversations with whoever was on the other end. I walked out behind them to the parking lot to my
car. They both jumped into their SUV, and, as I saw them drive off, they were still talking on their cell
phones. But, alas, not to each other.

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 that follow.
Becoming a teacher demands not only knowledge in an academic field but also a personal
commitment to lifelong learning, and enthusiasm for sharing knowledge with other people. To become one
of those noble educators in the USA, one has to satisfy several basic requirements.
First and foremost, it is a prerequisite to have bachelor's degree in education. In the event that a
candidate already has a bachelor's degree in another field, a teacher preparation program is needed. But that
is not all. Almost every school in the USA understands that real classroom teaching experience is a vital part
of a teacher's training. Before taking over a class, a person typically needs to complete a training program,
including working as a supervised student teacher.
People who want to become university teachers need master's degrees. Getting a master's degree is a
necessity, but if it is gained too early, there may be concerns that the candidate lacks the real-world
experience to go with it. In fact, very few schools want to hire novices with little or no classroom experience
and even if they are accepted, they are usually ill-paid. One wise solution to the issue is for future post
graduates to start working as teachers before going on to gain their master's degree.

Besides knowledge and experience, certain personal qualities are also required. A teacher should be
positive, prepared, focused, and most importantly, patient. Being a teacher involves being aware of the fact
that learning sometimes be hard work, even for the most motivated students. Also, teaching can at times be
tiring and frustrating, so teaching candidates have to practice being patient with themselves. In short, as in
other careers, teaching requires a combination of qualifications, experience, and personal qualities. Teaching
candidates meeting mandatory requirements are always in demand in the USA.
