Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 25 to 29.
Human beings have a strong need to put their experiences and problems into words. That is why
everyone appreciates a “friendly ear”- someone who is willing (25)__________to their troubles and joys.
But few people (26) __________what a complex skill listening is. To be a good listener requires great
powers of concentration, which can only be gained through practice.
There are two reasons (27) __________listening is often such hard work. The first is simply that
people much (28) __________to speak. How often have you missed what someone has said because you
were thinking about what you were going to say in reply? The second reason is that people speak too
slowly. The average (29) __________is about 125 words per minute, which is not fast enough for the
human brain. It allows too much time for the concentration to fail, as the brain tries to keep itself busy
with other, irrelevant thoughts.

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 30 to 34.
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.

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 35 to 42.

Think about the last test you took. How much of what you learned for the test do you still
remember? Many people take tests to pass a course or get a promotion, but they often forget the
information afterward! This is especially the case for people taking large international tests like TOEFL or
IELTS. These tests usually involve multiple-choice questions, and people often study to increase their
scores, not to learn important information. In fact, educators are divided on whether these kinds of tests
are the most effective way to assess a person's abilities.
Those who support such tests say they are the only way for educators and employers to compare
people based on their test scores. However, there are people trying to reform this system. They believe
that standard tests aren't the best way to measure a person's ability. These reformers also believe that

Trang 9


intelligent people are not always good at taking tests or memorizing facts. A multiple-choice test cannot
always tell what people have learned, or whether they can apply that knowledge in the future.
Reformers believe that other types of evaluation achieve better results. Tests that contain a mix of
written and spoken questions give a more complete assessment of what the person is capable of. A
portfolio, or a collection of work done throughout a course, can show how much the student has improved
individually. Group interview, where a group of people are interviewed at the same time, can also be
useful for employers, since they show how people interact with others.
Alternative educational institutions such as Montessori and Waldorf schools don't believe that
education should be focused on testing. At these schools, the classroom is very relaxed and "free" with
students learning from each other as much as they learn from teachers. Some of these schools even allow
students to choose what they study. Teachers create activities designed to let students show their abilities
or knowledge of a certain subject. In these schools, the focus is on learning by experiencing and doing
things.
The debate on testing continues, and educators have yet to find a perfect method of evaluating
learning. Until that day comes, old test methods will be used and new test methods will continue to
develop. But one thing’s for sure, testing will continue to play an important part in our lives - so study
hard!
