The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education<br /> from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo -Saxon<br /> and English language and literature at Oxford University.<br /> Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written<br /> in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and<br /> the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological<br /> phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien.<br /> The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but<br /> also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil<br /> kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which<br /> are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans<br /> populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves,<br /> monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled<br /> after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe.<br /> Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the<br /> trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection.<br /> He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to<br /> create mythology and legends about elves and their language.<br /> Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to<br /> create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today.<br /> Câu 1: What can we assume is NOT true about Middle Earth?<br /> A.

Even now, in Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the<br /> groceries, take place every day with customers passing their handsets across a small flat-screen<br /> device. And predictions in the world of finance reckon that payments using mobile phones will have<br /> risen to more than $50 billion in the very near future.<br /> What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of<br /> cash, but more so. It takes just one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change<br /> is required, errors in counting are eliminated. Fraud and theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it<br /> reduces the cost of handling money. Sony's vision of having a chip embedded in computers, TVs and<br /> games consoles means that films, music and games can be paid for easily without having to input<br /> credit card details.<br /> And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and creditcard firms want to be in a position to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and<br /> contactless-payment systems. But the new system could prove to be a "disruptive technology" as far<br /> as the banks are concerned. If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are made<br /> every day by a commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit card statements<br /> but on their mobile phone statements. And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies<br /> and banks do not want to see other payment systems gaining popularity. It's too early to say whether<br /> banks will miss out and if so, by how much. However, quite a few American bankers are optimistic.<br /> Trang 4/4 - Mã đề thi 108<br /> <br /> They feel there is reason to be suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing<br /> of the past. They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street<br /> branches as was predicted. On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches. So,<br /> whether we'll become a totally cash-free society remains open to contention.<br /> Câu 43: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?<br /> A. Predictions of future payment methods.<br /> B. The increasing popularity of new payment methods.<br /> C. The absence of traditional payment methods.<br /> D. Japan's advanced forms of payment.<br /> Câu 44: Why does the author mention "a small flat-screen device" in the first paragraph?<br /> A. to praise the e-cash system<br /> B. to inform the e-cash system<br /> C. to criticize the e-cash system<br /> D. to exemplify the e-cash system<br /> Câu 45: Which of the following is NOT true about the strong point of e-cash?<br /> A. fewer mistakes<br /> B. reduced cost<br /> C. no fraud<br /> D. faster speed<br /> Câu 46: The word "embedded” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.<br /> A. integrated<br /> B. manufactured<br /> C. isolated<br /> D. generated<br /> Câu 47: The word "grip" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.<br /> A. success<br /> B. power<br /> C. range of branches D. wealth<br /> Câu 48: The author mentions the case of commuters in the third paragraph to illustrate ___.<br /> A. the modern technology of the e-cash system<br /> B. the banks' cooperation with credit-card companies<br /> C. a possible drawback of the system<br /> D. the transferability of the system<br /> Câu 49: The word "their” in the third paragraph refers to ________.<br /> A.
