ĐềTHI Gồm Có 80 CÂU (Từ QUESTION 1 §Õn QUESTION 80)

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 (1- 10).

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which
ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will
fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.

However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very
supportive of their child.

Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to
concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a
week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in
a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.

Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians,
and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so
they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he doesn’t win. Winston is
always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

Question 1: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to _________.
A. push their child into trying too much

B. help their child to become a genius

C. make their child become a musician

Wood has long been a popular building material in North America because it has generally been
plentiful and cheap. Swedish settlers in Delaware built log cabins as early as 1630s. In New England,
British colonists built wooden ‘saltbox houses’. Most of the wooden homes of Colonial times could be built
with simple tools and minimal skills.

In the early 19th century, the standard wooden house was built with beams set into heavy posts and held
together with wooden pegs. This method of construction was time – consuming and required highly
skilled workers with special tools. The balloon – frame house, invented in 1833 in Chicago by a carpenter
from Hartford. Connecticut, used a frame of lightweight lumber, mostly 2´4 and 2´6 inches. This type of
house could be assembled by any careful worker who could saw in a straight line and drive a nail.

This revolution in building was made possible by improved sawmills that could quickly cut boards
to standard sizes and the lower cost of lumber that resulted. There were also new machines that could
produce huge quantities of inexpensive nails. Skeptics predicted that a strong wind could send such
houses flying through the air like balloons and, at first ‘balloon frame’ was a term of derision. But the

light frames proved practical, and wooden houses have been basically built this way ever since.

Question 24: The author implies that which of the following types of houses required the most skill to
produce?

A. The log cabin built by Swedish settlers.
B. Saltbox houses.

C. Standard wooden houses of the early 19th century.
D. Balloon – frame houses.

Question 25: All of the following are factors in the development of the balloon - frame house EXCEPT

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 number 36 to 45

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 inexorable necessity 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 36: The title for this passage could be _____ .

C. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
D. very few large animals are found in the desert

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being
corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand
times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around
him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other
people’s. In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to do without
being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own
performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes.
But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone
correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a
mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he
becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help

of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem,
whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.

If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the
answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on
such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find
the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exam, marks. Let
us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday
learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not
know.

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help
as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be
learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated
and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to
learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry!
If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

Question 46: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?
A. by copying what other people do

B. by making mistakes and having them corrected
C. by listening to explanations from skilled people
D. by asking a great many questions

Question 47: What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?
A. They give children correct answers

B. They point out children’s mistakes to them
C. They allow children to mark their own work

D. They encourage children to copy from one another

Question 48: The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle
are

A. not really important skills

B. more important than other skills

C. basically different from learning adult skills
D. basically the same as learning other skills

</div>
(11)<div class='page_container' data-page=11>

A. educated persons
B. the children themselves
C. teachers

D. parents

Question 50: The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are

B. too critical of themselves
C. unable to think for themselves

Read the following passage and choose the right answer to each of the

questions.

Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for
such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being
debated. Advocates of organic foods- a term whose meaning varies greatly- frequently
proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.

The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North
American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been
sparked by sweeping claims that the foods supply is unsafe or inadequate in the meeting
nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence,
the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the
general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting
entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to
health have become widely publicized and formed the basic for folklore.

Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins,
and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural
vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to
unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like.

One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common is
that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are
misled if they believe foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly
those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy expensive organic
foods instead.

Question 66 The “ welcome development” mentioned in paragraph 2 is an increase in
A. interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans.

A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally
grown foods.

foods.
