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
Advertising helps people recognize a particular brand, persuades them to try it, and tries to keep them
loyal to it. Brand loyalty is perhaps the most important goal of consumer advertising. Whether they
produce cars, canned foods or cosmetics, manufacturers want their customers to make repeated purchases.
The quality of the product will encourage this, of course, but so, too, will affect advertising.
Advertising relies on the techniques of market research to identify potential users of a product.
Are they homemakers or professional people? Are they young or old? Are they city dwellers or country
dwellers? Such questions have a bearing on where and when ads should be placed. By studying
readership breakdowns for newspapers and magazines as well as television ratings and other statistics, an
advertising agency can decide on the best way of reaching potential buyers. Detailed research and
marketing expertise are essential today when advertising budgets can run into thousands of millions of
dollars.
Advertising is a fast-paced, high-pressure industry. There is a constant need for creative ideas that
will establish a personality for a product in the public's mind. Current developments in advertising
increase the need for talented workers.
In the past, the majority of advertising was aimed at the traditional white family - breadwinner
father, non- working mother, and two children. Research now reveals that only about 6 percent of
American households fit this stereotype. Instead, society is fragmented into many groups, with working
mothers, single people and older people on the rise. To be most successful, advertising must identify a
particular segment and aim its message toward that group.
Advertising is also making use of new technologies. Computer graphics are used to grab the
attention of consumers and to help them see products in a new light. The use of computer graphics in a
commercial for canned goods, for instance, gave a new image to the tin can.
Câu 21: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How to develop a successful advertising plan.
B. The central role of advertising in selling products.
C. The history of advertising in the United States.
D. New techniques and technologies of market research.
Câu 22: The word "this" in bold type in paragraph 1 refers to______.
A. the quality of the product B. the most important goal
C. effective advertising D. repeatedly buying the same brand
Câu 23: It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that advertisers must______.
A. encourage people to try new products
B. know about the people who will buy the product
C. aim their message at homemakers and professional people
D. place several ads in newspapers and magazines
Câu 24: According to paragraph 2, market research includes______.
Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 485
A. determining the price of a product.
B. hiring researchers with backgrounds in many fields.
C. studying television ratings.
D. searching for talented workers.
Câu 25: The author implies that the advertising industry requires______.
A. millions of dollars B. government regulation
C. a college-educated work force D. innovative thinking
Câu 26: According to the passage, most advertising used to be directed at______.
A. unmarried people B. two-parent families with children
C. working mothers with children D. older adults
Câu 27: The phrase "in a new light" in bold type in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. more distinctly B. in a more energy-efficient way
C. differently D. with the use of color enhancement
Câu 28: Where in the passage does the author give an example of a new development in
advertising?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 5 D. Paragraph 3

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
Although the lie detectorsare being used by governments, police departments, and businesses that all want
guaranteed ways of detecting the truth, the results are not always accurate. Lie detectors are properly called
emotion detectors, for their aim is to measure bodily changes that contradict what a person says. The
polygraph machine records changes in heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and the electrical activity of the
skin (galvanic skin response, or GSR). In the first part of the polygraph test, you are electronically connected
to the machine and asked a few neutral questions (“What is your name?”, Where do you live?”). Your
physical reactions serve as the standard (baseline) for evaluating what comes next. Then you are asked a few
critical questions among the neutral ones (“When did you rob the bank?”). The assumption is that if you are
guilty, your body will reveal the truth, even if you try to deny it. Your heart rate, respiration, and GSR will
change abruptly as you respond to the incriminating questions.
That is the theory; but psychologists have found that lie detectors are simply not reliable. Since most
physical changes are the same across all emotions, machines cannot tell whether you are feeling guilty, angry,
nervous, thrilled, or revved up form an exciting day. Innocent people may be tense and nervous about the
whole procedure. They may react physiologically to a certain word (“bank”) not because they robbed it, but
Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 485
because they recently bounced a check. In either case the machine will record a “lie”. The reverse mistake is
also common. Some practiced liars can lie without flinching, and others learn to beat the machine by tensing
muscles or thinking about an exciting experience during neutral questions.
