Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 22 to 26.
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For
employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location
of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is
completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey
in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are
rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The
Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many
managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the
country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the

opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they
will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some
people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the
office.
Câu 22: With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?
A. The advantages of telecommuting.
B. A definition of telecommuting.
C. The failure of telecommuting.
D. An overview of telecommuting.
Câu 23: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting, EXCEPT
_____
A. The work place is in the home.
B. the opportunities for advancement.
C. the lack of interaction with a group.
D. the different system of supervision.
Câu 24: The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees
______
A. are ignorant of telecommuting.
B. need regular interaction with their families.
C. are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office.
D. feel that a work area in their
home is away from the office.
Câu 25: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is
_____.
A. a telecommuter
B. a statistician
C. the manager
D. a reporter
Câu 26: The phrase “of no consequence” means _______ .

answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the world’s universities, came from
very inauspicious and humble beginning.
This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just sixteen years after the Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth. Included in the Puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100

graduates of England’s prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates in the
New World were determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they themselves
had had. Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General Court of
Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the following year decided on
a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newtown, which was later renamed Cambridge
after its English cousin and is the site of the present-day university.
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of Charlestown, died
from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college. In spite of the
fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the minister in
appreciation for what he had done. The amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by today’s
standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the
college.
Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted that in
addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering freshmen class of four students.
Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century of its existence the entire teaching staff consisted
of the president and three or four tutors.
Câu 43: The main idea of this passage is that _____________.
A. John Harvard was key to the development of a great university
B. Harvard University developed under the auspices of the General Court of Massachusetts
C. Harvard is one of the world’s most prestigious universities.
D. What is today a great university started out small
Câu 44: The passage indicates that Harvard is _____________.
A. the oldest university in America
B. the oldest university in the world
C. one of the oldest universities in America
D. one of the oldest universities in the world
Câu 45: It can be inferred from the passage that the Puritans who traveled to the Massachusetts colony were
_____________.
A. rather well educated
B. rather supportive of the English government

C. rather rich
D. rather undemocratic
Câu 46: The pronoun “they” in the second paragraph refers to _____________.
A. Oxford and Cambridge universities
B. university graduates
C. son
D. educational opportunities
Câu 47: The “pounds” in the second paragraph are probably _____________.
A. types of books
B. college students
C. school campuses
D. units of money
Câu 48: Which of the following is NOT mentioned about John Harvard?
A. How much he bequeathed to Harvard
B. What he died of
C. Where he came from
D. Where he was buried
Câu 49: The passage implies that _____________.
A. Someone else really served as president of Harvard before Henry Dunster
B. The position of president of Harvard was not merely an administrative position in the early years
C. Henry Dunster was an ineffective president
D. Henry Dunster spent much of his time as president managing the Harvard faculty
Câu 50: The word “somewhat” in the last paragraph could best be replaced by _____________
A. side by side
B. back and forth

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 questions 6 to 13.
Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting,
from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it. It is directly related to cultivation and the
adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex. A person of culture has identifiable
attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music. Yet the word culture
does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education. At least from the 19th century
onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used
generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including
their customs, laws, conventions, and values.
Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures,
between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national
and global cultures. Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word
derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city. The two words are sometimes treated
as synonymous. Yet this is misleading. While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in
what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced
by 6 conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century. Cultures evolve or
develop. They are not static. They have twists and turns. Styles change. So do fashions. There are cultural
processes. What, for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical

(that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to
school and university education. No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come
electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture. As cultures express themselves
in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized.
The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define. There is no
single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one. The only
nonproblematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry
culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture). Since in anthropology
and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of
reference is extremely wide.

answer to each of the questions from questions 39 to 43.
What Do You Think?
We have all had bad experiences with restaurants, stores, or hotels. Maybe you have gone to a restaurant
that served terrible food. Perhaps you have gone to a store that had high prices or bad service. Or maybe you
have booked a hotel and found out later that the room was nothing like the advertisement.
Trang 8


These days, we have a better chance of preventing these unpleasant surprises. We can do this by using
apps. “App” is short for “application”. An app is a computer programme on a smartphone. You can use

apps to do almost anything. Apps can help you play games, get directions, talk to friends, and so on.
If f you want to find information about a store or a hotel, you can use a review app. Review apps help us
evaluate services and products before we hand over our money. The idea is very simple. After you go to a
restaurant or stay in a hotel, you can post a review with one of your apps. You can say anything you want. If
you like a hotel you stayed in, you can tell people that it was wonderful. If you think that the food in a
certain restaurant was bad, then you tell people not to eat there. Other people can use their apps to read your
reviews.
Plenty of people prefer not to use these review apps. Many of these people prefer to go out and decide for
themselves whether or not a service is good. However, review apps are getting more and more popular every
day. Some apps are for specific services. For example, Tripadvisor focuses on travel, and Goodreads focuses
on books. There are also other, larger apps that provide information for just about every service that you can
think of.
Câu 39: Which of the following would be another good title for the passage?
B. Customer Services
A. Wasteful Apps
C. Conveniences for Customers
D. Complaints from Customers
Câu 40: The phrase “is short for” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by ________.
A. takes after
B. supports
C. stands for
D. offers
Câu 41: If you want to book a hotel, how can a review app help you?
A. It can tell you about the hotel before you book it.
B. It can tell you how to use a smartphone.
C. It can tell you about other people who post reviews.
D. It can help you write better reviews.
Câu 42: The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. A hotel
B. An idea

C. A review
D. A restaurant
Câu 43: According to the passage, why do some people prefer NOT to use review apps?

C. They don't trust review apps.
D. They think review app are too hard.

searching for soldiers who were missing during the war.

doctors recommended a trip to Europe for a rest. While she was on vacation, she became involved
with the International Red Cross, an organization set up by the Geneva Convention in 1864. Clara
Barton realized that the Red Cross would be a best help to the United States. After she returned to

Red Cross was finally established with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. Clara Barton managed
its activities for 23 years.

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following questions
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all
living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where
sources of flowing water are rare. And since man's inexorablenecessity is to absorb
large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many
creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms
unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist -skinned, water-loving animals
can exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert
are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more
swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is
largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not
emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as
animals anywhere else in the word.
The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology.
None could survive if, like Mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday
sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours
asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night.
The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down
the temperature is only 60 degrees.
Question 43. Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the
desert, as_____ .
A. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
B. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert
C. water is an essential part of his existence
D. very few large animals are found in the desert
Question 44. The word "Them" in the passager refer to __________
Trang 13

A. minutes
B. animals
C. people
D. water
Question 45.The title for this passage could be _____
A. "Animal Life in a Desert Environment" B. "Man's Life in a Desert
Environment"
C."Desert Plants"
D. "Life Underground"
Question 46. According to the passage, creatures in the desert _____.
A. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest
B. are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world
C. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals
D. live in an accommodating environment
Question 47. The phrase "those forms" in the passage refers to all of the following
EXCEPT _____.
A. water-loving animals
B. moist-skinned animals
C. the coyote and the bobcat
D. many large animals
Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct sentence with the same

A.They took my advice, and failed.
B.But for my advice, they would not have got success.

the correct answer to each of the following questions
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all
living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where
sources of flowing water are rare. And since man's inexorablenecessity is to absorb
large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many
creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms
unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist -skinned, water-loving animals
can exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert
are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more
swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is
largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not
emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as
animals anywhere else in the word.
The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology.
None could survive if, like Mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday
sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours
asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night.
