Lots of people take up a particular sport at an early age, for example tennis, skiing or ice -skating.

Still, as long as the customers are satisfied, then you can ( 51) _______ yourself on a job well done, and feel that you have contributed to the success of the company that ( 52) _______ you. On the other hand, would you feel that your work was more worthwhile if you received more praise from your employers? Would you feel happier if they paid you a ( 53) _______ or sent you to a sales conference in Tahiti? Or is praise unnecessary, as long as the job ( 54) _______ you with the company of other people, and the feeling that you belong to the group?

  5. Điểm bằng số Điểm bằng chữ Chữ ký G.khảo Chữ ký G.khảo Số phách Số T.tự Bài thi Part 2: Read the following articles and choose the most suitable heading for each of the following sections of the articles from the list A to H. There are two extra headings which you do not need to use. Write your answers in the numbered boxes. A. Bargain prices B. Escaping the crowds C. In -flight comfort D. Ensuring availability E. Save on taxi fares F. Cheap excess baggage G. Lost lugguage compensation H. Changing to a better seat 56 Membership of an airline loyalty club will guarantee you a seat on a f light, even when that flight is fully booked for ‘normal passangers’. Air France, KLM, Scandinavian Airlines and Singapore Airlines are just four carriers offering this facility to their very best customers. Others, like British Airways, Lufthansa and Swissair, are not quite so bold with their claims but all will move heaven and earth to secure a seat for their club members. 57 First-class and bussiness-class passengers get the pick of the seating, ‘up front’ away from all the engine noise and vibration. Economy passengers are invariably seated in the noisier, back rows of the aircraft, however, and airline seating plans ( displayed in timetables) enable you to choose the best seat. 58 Traveling with overweight baggage can cost you dearly. On long -haul flights, the airlines give you a free baggage allowance of between 20 and 64 kilos, depending on the class of travel and the route. Every excess kilo is charged at one per cent of the first -class fare. One way round this is to hand over your baggage to an excess company, which can save you as much as 70 per cent on airline fees. Your luggage will then travel to your destination unaccompanied, and you can either collect it from the airport or have it delivered to your destination address. It won’t usually ar rive the same day, though. 59 Booking a first-class or business-class ticket usually entitles you to use the more peaceful airline executive lounge at the airport. Regular passengers with an airline can also use the lounges, even when flying on cut-price economy tickets. 60 The unthinkable has happened. You have arrived overseas but your luggage has not appeared on the airport baggage carousel. Keep calm. In most cases your bags will turn up, eventually. But, before you leave the airport, contact a memb er of staff and complete a Baggage Irregularity Report, which ensures that you will receive compensation. However, airlines pay out pitiful compensastion, so do read the small print on your ticket, and it’s essential to take out adequate insurance beforeha nd. 61 Securing an upgrade is easier than ever before. Canadian Airlines will now seat some transatlantic passengers who have paid the economy fare in business class, while business -class passengers bound for New York, Toronto, Delhi or Bombay are automa tically upgraded to first-class if they have paid the full business-class fare. In addition, large companies are increasingly negotiating an automatic upgrade with airlines. Your answers: 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61.
  6. Điểm bằng số Điểm bằng chữ Chữ ký G.khảo Chữ ký G.khảo Số phách Số T.tự Bài thi Part 3: Read the following passage and ch oose the most suitable sentence from A to H on the list for each gap. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. Write your answer s in the numbered boxes. A. A species is a recipe written in DNA; a theology is an idea written in human language; a steam train is an engineer’s blueprint. B. Natural selection creates diversity - a thousand different ways to solve the same problem s C. Even if we cannot yet recreate species from their genomes D. But they’ve got taken exactly on schedule. E. Despite the munch-vaunted web of ecological connections between all life F. Mankind has now destroyed 90 per cent of Brazil’s coastal rainforest and not a single endemic species of bird has died out. G. Some pachyderms survived on an island. H. But it is necessary for island to remain isolated if this is to happen Island creatures are extremely vulnerable to extinction. Except in the island continents like Australia, mankind has had a far less dramatic impact upon continental creatures. (62)___________. The number of creatures known to have died out in the rainforest of the world is still tiny. Nearly all of the extinctions mankind has cause d have been on island, and most of those have been achieved by introducing competitors. (Lakes are equivalent to islands. When Nile perch were put in Lake Victoria, they quickly wiped out half the 300 species in fish in the lake). What harm is done? There is no reduction of biomass, no increase in the chances of a collapse of all life. (63)__________, the invaders are often better adapted to survive than their victims. So why does such extinction matter at all? The answer is that it standardizes the world. (64)__________. It meant sheep and cattle in Eurasia, giant birds in New Zealand and Madagascar, elephants in Africa, and bison in North America. Now most of them are extinct or marginalized. The same also applied to other forms of extinction. Where once there were hundreds of African theologies, now Christianity and Islam dominate. Where once there were more than a thousand mutually unintelligible languages on the island of new Guinea alone, soon there will be just pidgin. Where once there were differ ent kinds of cars in every country on earth, now everybody drives a clone. It is not so much extinction itself that matters – does it matter that nobody speaks Linear B drives a Model T or worships Ra? It is the standardizing of the world, the disappearance of diversity that matters. True, nature flights back. Worldwide species are evolving into separate kinds; it could be only a few thousand years before starlings in Hawaii cannot breed with starlings in London and are therefore technically a different species. (65)___________. Islands have been called nature’s laboratories: they take a few, monotonous, global species and fragment them into experimental forms, a few of which later inherit the earth. In just the same way, for a new language to be born the speakers must be isolated by a mountain range or a stretch of sea for several centuries; that is impossible today. How do you save diversity of spe cies, theologies, languages and technologies? The answer must lie in information technology. All of these thi ngs are really just chunks of unique information. (66) ____________. Each needs to be virtually saved before it is physically lost. Read the genome of a Hawaiian goose: take down the lexicon of a Fore language; film the tricks of a brilliant watchmaker. (67)___________, we should save them for a time when our descendants can. Petrarch grumbled that he was surrounded by books in Ancient Greek that neither he nor anybody else could read. The skill was later reacquired. Your answers: 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67.
  7. Điểm bằng số Điểm bằng chữ Chữ ký G.khảo Chữ ký G.khảo Số phách Số T.tự Bài thi Part 4: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) to each of the questions that follow. Write your answer in the numbered box es. THE INTERVIEW ‘We would like to interview you…’. Joyful words for the job -seeker, but my letter carried a warning: ‘You will be required to take a psychometric test.’ More than 70 per cent of companies now use these ‘objective’ tests for potential employees. They are meant to give a true picture of candidates that removes the unfairness that may resu lt from the personal opinions of interviewers. On the day of my interview for the job of an assistant to a company Public Relation consultant, my nerves were made worse by finding that the office was close to a hospital with particularly unhappy associations. Luckily, I had deliberately got there early so that I was able to calm myself down before a secretary rushed me upstairs for my test. Keeping to a strict time limit, I had to assess groups of adjectives, marking which most and which least matched my ideas of myself at work. Choosing one quality out of four when all seemed appropriate was difficult, more difficult than the interview that followed – though I felt I hadn’t impressed in that either. Confirmation of this arrived a week later. My rejection le tter was accompanied by a copy of the Private and Confidential Personal Profile Analysis – two and a half sides of paper, based on that 10 - minute test. The Profile’s rude inaccuracy and its judgemental tone were harder to accept than the fact that I had been turned down for the job. Apparently, I have ‘no eye for detail’; I am also ‘a forceful individual…who leads rather than directs’ and am ‘motivated by financial reward to pay for good living.’ The words ‘impatient’, ‘restless’, and ‘strong -willed’ also came up. ‘A portrait of an ambitious, power -mad person’, said a psychologist friend of 15 years to whom I showed the Profile. She said it didn’t apply to me at all. I know myself to be a careful, industrious checker. I am shy but cheerful and a bit over -anxious to be thought creative. I am not a power -crazed person. What would I do, I worried, if I had to take another test for another job, and this unattractive personality emerged again? I sent the company a polite disagreement with the Profile, purely for t he record. Meanwhile, I made a few enquiries. Had my emotional state of mind made the results untypical of me? I had been disturbed to find the office so close to a hospital that held unhappy memories for me. ‘State of mind will have an impact,’ says Shan e Pressey, an occupational psychologist, ‘but on the whole its effect will be relatively minor. It appears that the test was an inadequate tool for the amount of information they were trying to get out of it, and it is not surprising that there were inaccu racies.’ Too late for that particular job, I arrange to sit another psychometric test. This one took much longer and was more thorough; the profile was also more detailed and accurate – it showed my eye for detail and the fact that I have a problem meeting deadlines. But a peculiar result is hard to challenge without seeming unable to take criticism. It is simply not acceptable to refuse to take a test, in case a job candidate seems uncooperative and eccentric. The interview, with its yes/no personal feelin g, is here to stay, but so is objective testing. If my experience is anything to go by, the job candidate should be suspicious of 10 -minute tests that result in generalised-and possibly wildly inaccurate -judgements. I accept that it would be costly to arrange for face-to-face discussions of test results with all job candidates, but a telephone call would be preferable to simply receiving a written ‘profile’ through the post and having no opportunity to discuss its contents. 68. Before the writer took the test, she __________ A. felt that she was unlikely to do it very well. B. made sure that she was mentally prepared for it. C. believed that such tests were fair to candidates. D. did some research into tests of that kind.

A. was offended by the comments made about her answers. B. was glad that she had not been offered the job. C. regretted some of the answers she had given in the test. D. realised that her personality would not have suited the job. 72. Why did the Profile worry her? A. It made her feel that she had been too self -confident before. B. It indicated that she might have trouble getting a job in future. C. It did not show that she was capable of being a creative person. D. It told her things about herself that she had not noticed before. 73. What did she find out after taking the test for the job ? A. The way she was feeling had badly affected her performance in it. B. Psychometric tests seldom provide reliable information about people. C. Many job candidates are unwilling to take psychometric tests. D. It may have been unsuitable test for its inte nded purpose. 74. What does the writer recommend? A. Candidates should be able to talk about their test results with employers. B. Employers should pay no attention to the results of psychometric tests. C. Candidates should not be concerned about taking ps ychometric tests. D. Employers should stop asking candidates to take psychometric tests. 75. Why does the writer describe her experience? A. It is typical of experiences that a great many other people have. B. It shows that no method of selecting job c andidates can ever be fair. C. It is an example of how difficult it can be for someone to get a job. D.
