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 following questions from 32 to 39.
Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was actually
more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works. He traveled extensively and used the
knowledge gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels. In 1837, at the age of eighteen,
Melville signed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to
Liverpool, England. His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849). In 1841
Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas. After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered
around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop to the novel
Omoo (1847). After three years away from home, Melville joined up with a U.S. naval frigate that was
returning to the eastern United States around Cape Horn. The novel White-Jacket (1850) describes this
lengthy voyage as a navy seaman.
With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal
following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations. However, in 1851, with the

publication of Moby Dick, Melville’s popularity started to diminish. Moby Dick, on one level the saga of
the hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of man
against the universe. The public was not ready for Melville’s literary metamorphosis from romantic
adventure to philosophical symbolism. It is ironic that the novel that served to diminish Melville’s
popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today.

C. message
D. background
Câu 34: According to the passage, Melville’s early novels were ______.
A. completely fictional
B. published while he was traveling
C. all about his work on whaling ships
D. based on his travel experiences
Câu 35: The passage implies that Melville stayed in Tahiti because ______.
A. he was on leave while his ship was in port
B. he had received permission to take a vacation in Tahiti
C. he had unofficially left his ship
D. he had finished his term of duty
Câu 36: How did the publication of Moby Dick affect Melville’s popularity?
A. It had no effect on his popularity.
B. His popularity remained as strong as ever.
C. It caused his popularity to decrease.
D. His popularity increased immediately.

A. a 47 adventure

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 44 to 48.
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. marriage

A. People tended to marry outside their social class
B. Men made almost all decisions inside the family

Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was actually
more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works. He traveled extensively and used the
knowledge gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels. In 1837, at the age of eighteen,
Melville signed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to

Liverpool, England. His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849). In 1841

around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop to the novel
Omoo (1847). After three years away from home, Melville joined up with a U.S. naval frigate that was

lengthy voyage as a navy seaman.

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 22 to 26.
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.

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 following questions from 32 to 39.
Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was actually
more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works. He traveled extensively and used the
knowledge gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels. In 1837, at the age of eighteen,

Melville signed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to
Liverpool, England. His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849). In 1841
Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas. After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered
around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop to the novel
Omoo (1847). After three years away from home, Melville joined up with a U.S. naval frigate that was
returning to the eastern United States around Cape Horn. The novel White-Jacket (1850) describes this
lengthy voyage as a navy seaman.
With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal
following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations. However, in 1851, with the
publication of Moby Dick, Melville’s popularity started to diminish. Moby Dick, on one level the saga of
the hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of man
against the universe. The public was not ready for Melville’s literary metamorphosis from romantic
adventure to philosophical symbolism. It is ironic that the novel that served to diminish Melville’s
popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today.
