ĐỀ THI GỒM 80 CÂU; TỪ QUESTION 1 ĐẾN 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 to 10 A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker. The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are .usually discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication. Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed. Question 1.

D 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 67- 75 Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects—an estimated 90 percent of the world's species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity. Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions. For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed. A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still
in the documentation phase. In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized. Question 67: Butterflies are a good example for communicating information about conservation issues because they……… A. are simple in structure B. have been given scientific names C. are viewed positively by people D. are found mainly in temperate climates Question 68: The word "consequence" in line 2 is closest in meaning to……………. A. result B. explanation C. analysis D. requirement Question 69: The word "striking" in line 7 is closest in meaning to……………… A. physical B. confusing C. noticeable D. successful Question 70: Which aspect of butterflies does the passage mainly discuss?

Their variety Question 71: All of the followings are mentioned as being important parts of a general theory of diversity EXCEPT……………. A. differences between temperate and tropical zones B. patterns of distribution of species in each region C. migration among temperate and tropical zones D. variation of patterns of distribution of species among different animals and plants Question 72: The word “exceed” in line 10 is closest in meaning to………………. A. locate B. allow C. go beyond D. come close to Question 73: The word "generated" in line 24 is closest in meaning to……….

Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur". What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles. Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board. Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own".
In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company's cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock. Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small. But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead.

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions. Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet. They provide the main source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as amylose and amylopectin. Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to one-fifth of a person's diet. This translates to about 75-100 grams of carbohydrates per day. A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect on a person's health. When the body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a process called gluconeogenesis. This, however, results in a lack of necessary protein, and further health difficulties may occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build-up of ketones in the body that causes fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath. Question 71: What is the main idea of this passage? A. Carbohydrates are needed for good health. B. Carbohydrates prevent a build-up of proteins. C .Carbohydrates can lead to ketosis. D .Carbohydrates are an expendable part of a good diet.

Read the passage and the questions or unfinished sentences, then choose the best answer for each. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun and hides at least some part of the Sun from the earth. In a partial eclipse, the Moon covers part of the Sun; in an annual eclipse, the Moon covers the center of the Sun, leaving a bright ring of light around the Moon; in a total eclipse, the Sun is completely covered by the Moon. It seems rather improbable that a celestial body size of the Moon could completely block out the tremendously immense Sun, as happens during a total eclipse, but this is exactly what happens. Although the Moon is considerably smaller in size than the Sun, the Moon is able to cover the Sun because of their relative distances from Earth. A total eclipse can last up to 7 minutes, during which time the Moon’s shadow moves across Earth at a rate of about 6 kilometers per second. 36. This passage mainly _________. a. describes how long an eclipse will last. B. gives facts about the Moon. c. explains how the Sun is able to obscure the Moon. D. informs the reader about solar eclipses. 37. In which type of eclipse is the Sun obscured in its entirety? a. A partial eclipse b. An annual eclipse c. A total eclipse d. A celestial eclipse 38. The word ring in line 3 could be best replaced by ______. a. piece of gold b. circle c. jewel d. bell 39. A celestial body in line 5 is most probably one that is found ______. a. somewhere in the sky b. within the Moon’s shadow c. on the surface of the Sun d. inside Earth’s atmosphere 40. What is the meaning of block out in line 5? a. Square b. Cover c. Evaporate d. Shrink 41. According to the passage, how can the Moon hide the Sun during a total eclipse? a. The fact that the Moon is closer to Earth than the Sun makes up for the Moon’s smaller size. b. The Moon can only obscure the Sun because of the Moon’s great distance from the Earth. c. Because the Sun is relatively close to Earth, the Sun can be eclipsed by the Moon. d. The moon hides the Sun because of the Moon’s considerable size.

Most people think of deserts as dry, flat areas with little vegetation and little or no rainfall, but this is hardly true. Many deserts have varied geographical formations ranging from soft, rolling hills to stark, jagged cliffs, and most deserts have a permanent source of water. Although deserts do not receive a high amount of rainfall – to be classified as a desert, an area must get less than twenty-five centimeters of rainfall
per year – there are many plants that thrive on only small amounts of water, and deserts are often full of such plant life. Desert plants have a variety of mechanisms for obtaining the water needed for survival. Some plants, such as cactus, are able to store large amounts of water to last until the next rainfall. Other plants, such as the mesquite, have extraordinarily deep root systems that allow them to obtain water from far below the desert’s arid surface. 66. What is the main topic of the passage? a. Deserts are dry, flat areas with few plants. b. There is little rainfall in the desert. c. Many kinds of vegetation can survive with little water. d.

Lớp: ………… Số báo danh: ……… QUESTIONS 1 – 10: Read the following passage carefully and complete the sentences that follow A, B, C or D as the correct answers. Colors and emotions Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as important to me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related? Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color that you choose to wear either reflects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need. The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you. Of course they also affect anyone who comes in contact with you, but you are the one saturated with the color all day! I even choose items around me based on their color. In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion I need for the day. So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better. Color, sound and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in motion. Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body. So, the fastest way to be healthy is to be open to your real feelings.
Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your emotions. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Emotions and colors are closely related to each other. B. Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. C. Colorful clothes can change your mood. D. Colors can help you become more influenced. 2. Who is more influenced by the color you wear? A.

A. wearing the color black B. being open to your emotions C. ignoring your emotions D. exposing yourself to bright color 5. According to this passage, what do color, sound and emotions all have in common? A. They are all related to health B. They are all forms of motions C. They all affect the cells of the body D. none of the above 6. The term intimately in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____. A. clearly B. obviously C. closely D. simply 7.
