X. 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.
Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in society.
Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today. A man usually lived until he was
about 40 years old, while women died even sooner because of childbirth. There were many wars and illnesses,
and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still young. The parents lived
through their children.
Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal. Most marriages were
arranged between parents while their children were still very young. It was the custom that the fathers made
the decision on whom their children were going to marry. The mothers had little say in it since they rarely
made any decisions outside the household. The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the
money given for the bride on her wedding date. The more money and land a girl had, the more chances she
had to marry well. Therefore, it was important that her father choose the bridegroom very well. Usually, it was
someone who came from a good family or who was rich too. It was very unlikely that people married outside
their social class. A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noblewomen and became King's
business advisors. In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they married.
The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India or
Pakistan. Here, social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept. Often, however, arranged
marriages are a sign that people do not want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and security in an
ever-changing world.
(Adapted from Longman Essence Reading, Vol. 2)

A. illnesses
B. marriage
C. childbirth

B. marry well
C. succeed in business
D. become noble women
Question 38. The author mentions all of the following in the passage EXCEPT_______________.

XI. 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.
Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently experienced, the child may have
to go back and capture the experience of it. A good home makes this possible - for example, by providing the
opportunity for the child to play with a clockwork car or toy railway train up to any age if he still needs to do
so. This principle, in fact, underlies all psychological treatment of children in difficulties with their
development, and is the basic of work in child clinics.
The beginnings of discipline are in the nursery. Even the youngest baby is taught by gradual stages to wait

for food, to sleep and wake at regular intervals and so on. If the child feels the world around him is a warm
and friendly one, he slowly accepts its rhythm and accustoms himself to conforming to its demands. Learning
to wait for things, particularly for food, is a very important element in upbringing, and is achieved
successfully only if too great demands are not made before the child can understand them. Every parent
watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill: the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or
the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate,
but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of anxiety in the child. This might happen at any
stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read
before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too
much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural zest for life and his desire to find out new
things for himself. Learning together is a fruitful source of relationship between children and parents. By
playing together, parents learn more about their children and children learn more from their parents. Toys and
games which both parents and children can share are an important means of achieving this co-operation.
Building-block toys, jigsaw puzzles and crosswords are good examples.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness or indulgence towards their children. Some may be
especially strict in money matters; others are severe over times of coming home at night, punctuality for meals
or personal cleanliness. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of
the community as much as the child's own happiness and well-being.
With regard to the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in
parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents
should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are hypocritical and do not practise what they
preach, their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for
themselves, and realize they have been, to some extent, deceived. A sudden awareness of a marked difference
between their parents' ethics and their morals can be a dangerous disillusion.
Question 40. The encouragement of children to achieve new skills.......
A. should be not too much, not too little
B. should be focused on only at school
C. can never be taken too far
D. will always assist their development
Question 41. Parental controls and discipline.......

A. serve a dual purpose
C. are designed to promote the child's happiness

B. should be avoided as far as possible
D. reflect only the values of the community

Question 42. The practice of the rule "Example is better than precept"......
A. only works when the children grow old enough to think for themselves
B. would help avoid the necessity for ethics and morals
C. will free a child from disillusion when he grows up
D. is too difficult for all parents to exercise

XII. 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.
Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in society.
Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today. A man usually lived until he was
about 40 years old, while women died even sooner because of childbirth. There were many wars and illnesses,
and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still young. The parents lived
through their children.
Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal. Most marriages were
arranged between parents while their children were still very young. It was the custom that the fathers made
the decision on whom their children were going to marry. The mothers had little say in it since they rarely
made any decisions outside the household. The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the
money given for the bride on her wedding date. The more money and land a girl had, the more chances she
had to marry well. Therefore, it was important that her father choose the bridegroom very well. Usually, it was
someone who came from a good family or who was rich too. It was very unlikely that people married outside

their social class. A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noblewomen and became King's
business advisors. In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they married.
The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India or
Pakistan. Here, social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept. Often, however, arranged
marriages are a sign that people do not want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and security in an
ever-changing world.
(Adapted from Longman Essence Reading, Vol. 2)

VI. 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.
Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently experienced, the child may have
to go back and capture the experience of it. A good home makes this possible - for example, by providing the
opportunity for the child to play with a clockwork car or toy railway train up to any age if he still needs to do
so. This principle, in fact, underlies all psychological treatment of children in difficulties with their
development, and is the basic of work in child clinics.
The beginnings of discipline are in the nursery. Even the youngest baby is taught by gradual stages to wait
for food, to sleep and wake at regular intervals and so on. If the child feels the world around him is a warm

and friendly one, he slowly accepts its rhythm and accustoms himself to conforming to its demands. Learning
to wait for things, particularly for food, is a very important element in upbringing, and is achieved
successfully only if too great demands are not made before the child can understand them. Every parent
watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill: the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or
the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate,
but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of anxiety in the child. This might happen at any
stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read


Trang 132612/5 - Mã đề: 131326122041313261220132295

before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too
much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural zest for life and his desire to find out new
things for himself. Learning together is a fruitful source of relationship between children and parents. By
playing together, parents learn more about their children and children learn more from their parents. Toys and
games which both parents and children can share are an important means of achieving this co-operation.
Building-block toys, jigsaw puzzles and crosswords are good examples.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness or indulgence towards their children. Some may be
especially strict in money matters; others are severe over times of coming home at night, punctuality for meals
or personal cleanliness. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of
the community as much as the child's own happiness and well-being.
With regard to the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in
parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents
should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are hypocritical and do not practise what they
preach, their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for
themselves, and realize they have been, to some extent, deceived. A sudden awareness of a marked difference
between their parents' ethics and their morals can be a dangerous disillusion.
Question 27. The word "imposed" in the 3rd paragraph is closest in meaning to.......
A. made
B. introduced

C. excepted
D. constrained
Question 28. The practice of the rule "Example is better than precept"......
A. will free a child from disillusion when he grows up
B. only works when the children grow old enough to think for themselves
C. is too difficult for all parents to exercise
D. would help avoid the necessity for ethics and morals
Question 29. According to the passage, all things below can be examples of means of achieving co-operation
between parents and children, EXCEPT.............
A. Mathematics book
B. Jigsaw puzzles
C. Toys and games
D. Crosswords
Question 30. The principle underlying all treatment of developmental difficulties in children.......
A. offers recapture of earlier experiences
B. is in the provision of clockwork toys and trains
C. is to send them to clinics
D. is to capture them before they are sufficiently experienced
Question 31. The encouragement of children to achieve new skills.......
A. should be not too much, not too little
B. can never be taken too far
C. should be focused on only at school
D. will always assist their development
Question 32. Parental controls and discipline.......
A. should be avoided as far as possible
C. are designed to promote the child's happiness

B. serve a dual purpose
D. reflect only the values of the community

Question 33. The phrase "conforming to" in the 2nd paragraph means.......

C. following

D. agreeing with

Question 34. Learning to wait for things is successfully taught.......
A. in spite of excessive demands being made
B. is achieved successfully by all children
C. because excessive demands are not advisable D. only if too great demands are not made

X. 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.
Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently experienced, the child may have
to go back and capture the experience of it. A good home makes this possible - for example, by providing the
opportunity for the child to play with a clockwork car or toy railway train up to any age if he still needs to do
so. This principle, in fact, underlies all psychological treatment of children in difficulties with their
development, and is the basic of work in child clinics.
The beginnings of discipline are in the nursery. Even the youngest baby is taught by gradual stages to wait
for food, to sleep and wake at regular intervals and so on. If the child feels the world around him is a warm
and friendly one, he slowly accepts its rhythm and accustoms himself to conforming to its demands. Learning
to wait for things, particularly for food, is a very important element in upbringing, and is achieved
successfully only if too great demands are not made before the child can understand them. Every parent
watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill: the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or
the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate,
but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of anxiety in the child. This might happen at any
stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read
before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too
much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural zest for life and his desire to find out new
things for himself. Learning together is a fruitful source of relationship between children and parents. By
playing together, parents learn more about their children and children learn more from their parents. Toys and
games which both parents and children can share are an important means of achieving this co-operation.
Building-block toys, jigsaw puzzles and crosswords are good examples.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness or indulgence towards their children. Some may be
especially strict in money matters; others are severe over times of coming home at night, punctuality for meals
or personal cleanliness. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of
the community as much as the child's own happiness and well-being.
With regard to the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in
parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents

should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are hypocritical and do not practise what they
preach, their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for
themselves, and realize they have been, to some extent, deceived. A sudden awareness of a marked difference
between their parents' ethics and their morals can be a dangerous disillusion.

XII. 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.
Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in society.

Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today. A man usually lived until he was
about 40 years old, while women died even sooner because of childbirth. There were many wars and illnesses,
and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still young. The parents lived
through their children.


Trang 252612/5 - Mã đề: 252526122042525261220132295

Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal. Most marriages were
arranged between parents while their children were still very young. It was the custom that the fathers made
the decision on whom their children were going to marry. The mothers had little say in it since they rarely
made any decisions outside the household. The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the
money given for the bride on her wedding date. The more money and land a girl had, the more chances she
had to marry well. Therefore, it was important that her father choose the bridegroom very well. Usually, it was
someone who came from a good family or who was rich too. It was very unlikely that people married outside
their social class. A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noblewomen and became King's
business advisors. In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they married.
The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India or
Pakistan. Here, social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept. Often, however, arranged
marriages are a sign that people do not want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and security in an
ever-changing world.
