A recent study offers some<br /> insights into this common disproportion in children’s illustrations. As part of the study, researchers asked children<br /> between 4 and 7 years old to make several drawings of men. When they drew front views of male figures, the size of the<br /> heads was markedly enlarged. However, when the children drew rear views of men, the size of the heads was not so<br /> exaggerated. The researchers suggested that children draw bigger heads when they know they must leave room for facial<br /> details. Therefore, the odd head size in children’s illustrations is a form of planning ahead and not an indication of a poor<br /> sense of scale.<br /> Câu 15: The main subject of the passage is_____________.<br /> A. how researchers can gather data from works of art<br /> B.

The spread of the manufacture of paper is an example of extensive diffusion by direct contact. The<br /> invention of paper is attributed to the Chinese Ts’ai Lun in A.D. 105. Within fifty years, paper was being made in many<br /> places in central China. By 264 it was found in Chinese Turkmenistan, and from then on the successive places of<br /> <br /> Mã đề 212 trang 2/4<br /> <br /> manufacture were Samarkand (751), Baghdad (793), Egypt (about 900), Morocco (about 1100), and France (1189). In<br /> general, the pattern of accepting the borrowed invention was the same everywhere. Paper was first imported into each<br /> area as a luxury, then in ever-expanding quantities as a staple product. Finally, usually within one to three centuries, local<br /> manufacture started.<br /> Diffusion by intermediate contact occurs through the agency of third parties. Frequently, traders carry a cultural<br /> trait from the society that originated it to another group. As an example of diffusion through intermediaries, Phoenician<br /> traders spread the alphabet, which may have been invented by another Semitic group, to Greece. At times, soldiers serve<br /> as intermediaries in spreading a culture trait. During the Middle Ages, European soldiers acted as intermediaries in two<br /> ways: they carried European culture to Arab societies of North Africa and brought Arab culture back to Europe. In the<br /> nineteenth century Western missionaries brought Western-style clothing to such places as Africa and the Pacific islands.<br /> In stimulus diffusion, knowledge of a trait belonging to another culture stimulates the invention or development<br /> of a local equivalent. A classic example of stimulus diffusion is the creation of the Cherokee syllabic writing system by a<br /> Native American named Sequoya. Sequoya got the idea from his contact with the English; yet he did not adopt the<br /> writing system nor did he even learn to write English. He utilized some English alphabetic symbols, altered others, and<br /> invented new ones.<br /> Câu 24: The passage mainly discusses how ______________.<br /> A. cultural elements transfer from one culture to another<br /> B. economies grew through trade and manufacturing<br /> C. paper came into general use<br /> D. cultures retain their unique characteristics<br /> Câu 25: The word “gradually” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______________.<br /> A. sharply<br /> B. largely<br /> C. little by little<br /> D. dramatically<br /> Câu 26: The word “successive” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______________.<br /> A. principal<br /> B. specialized<br /> C. prosperous<br /> D. following<br /> Câu 27: The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to ______________.<br /> A. society<br /> B. trait<br /> C. diffusion<br /> D. contact<br /> Câu 28: According to the passage, a change that occurred in Africa and the Pacific Islands as a result of the arrival of<br /> missionaries was ______________.<br /> A. variation in local style of dressing<br /> B. the manufacture of paper<br /> C. an increase in the presence of soldiers<br /> D. the introduction of new alphabetical systems<br /> Câu 29: According to the passage, what did Sequoya do?<br /> A.
