It is true that keeping fit will benefit a person’s health in many ways. It has become clear in recent years, that a large number of people are doing less and less exercise and this is now causing many serious illnesses, putting a strain on doctors and hospitals. However, some experts believe that too much exercise can do just as much (25) ____. Although it is true that moderate exercise such as walking can be very beneficial to a person’s health, it is not the only one factor (26) keeps us healthy. Diet is also extremely important and I would argue that it is probably even more important than exercise, although the ideal is for both of these factors to work together. It seems to me that many people are unwilling to put in the effort required to become fitter. (27) , too much exercise can also cause problems. So people are urged to take moderate exercise and eat moderately healthily rather than embarking on extreme diets and training. In too many instances, ultra–fit people have had heart attacks or dropped down dead. In all, governments need to find ways of (28) people to take responsibility for their own health. People need to realize that eating healthy food does not have to cost a (29) , nor is it difficult to prepare healthy meals themselves. People need to be better educated about their health.

answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34. After 1785, the production of children's books in the Untied States increased but remained largely reprints of British books, often those published by John Newbery, the first publisher to produce books aimed primarily at diverting a child audience. Ultimately, however, it was not the cheerful, commercial-minded Newbery, but Anglo-Irish author Maria Edgeworth who had the strongest influence on this period of American children's literature. The eighteenth century had seen a gradual shift away from the spiritual intensity of earlier American religious writings for children, toward a more generalized moralism. Newbery notwithstanding, Americans still looked on children's books as vehicles for instruction, not amusement, though they would accept a moderate amount of fictional entertainment for the sake of more successful instruction. As the children's book market expanded, then, what both public and publishers wanted was the kind of fiction Maria Edgeworth wrote: stories interesting enough to attract children and morally instructive enough to allay adult distrust of fiction. American reaction against imported books for children set in after the War of 1812 with the British. A wave of nationalism permeated everything, and the self-conscious new nation found foreign writings (particularly those from the British monarchy) unsuitable for the children of a democratic republic, a slate of self-governing, equal citizens. Publishers of children's books began to encourage American writers to write for American children. When they responded, the pattern established by Maria Edgeworth was at hand, attractive to most of them for both its rationalism and its high moral tone. Early in the 1820's, stories of willful children learning to obey, of careless children learning to take care, of selfish children learning to "tire for others," started to flow from American presses, successfully achieving Edgeworth's tone, though rarely her lively style. Imitative as they were, these early American stories wee quite distinguishable from their British counterparts. Few servants appeared in them, and if class distinctions had by no means disappeared, there was much democratic insistence on the worthiness of every level of birth and work. The characters of children in this fiction were serious, conscientious, self-reflective, and independent-testimony to the continuing influence of the earlier American moralistic tradition in children's books. Question 30. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Basic differences between British and American literature for children B. Successful publishers of children's books in Britain and North America C. The development of children's literature in the United States D. The career of Maria Edgeworth as an author of children's books Question 31. The publisher John Newbery is principally known for which of the following reasons? A. He had more influence on children American children's literature than any other publisher B. He published books aimed at amusing children rather than instructing them. C. He was commercially minded and cheerful. D. He produced and sold books written by Maria Edgeworth. Question 32. The word "they" in line 8 refers to________ A. Americans B. books C. children D. vehicles Question 33. The word "allay" in line 12 is closest in meaning to ________ A. reduce B. confirm C. clarify D. attack Question 34. According to the passage, American children's stories differed from their British equivalents in that the characters in American stories were ______ A. rarely servants B. generally not from a variety of social classes C. children who showed a change of behavior D. children who were well behaved 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 35 to 42. In the history of technology, computers and calculators were innovative developments. They are essentially different from all other machines because they have a memory. This memory stores instructions and information. In a calculator, the instructions are the various functions of arithmetic, which are permanently remembered by the machine and cannot be altered or added to. The information consists of the numbers which are keyed in. Trang 3/5, Mã đề thi 601
An electronic pocket calculator can perform almost instant arithmetic. A calculator requires an input unit to feed in numbers, a processing unit to make the calculation, a memory unit, and an output unit to display the result. The calculator is powered by a small battery or by a panel of solar cells. Inside is a microchip that contains the memory and processing units and also controls the input unit, which is the keyboard, and the output unit, which is the display. The input unit has keys for numbers and operations. Beneath the key is a printed circuit board containing a set of contacts for each key. Pressing a key closes the contacts and sends a signal along a pair of lines in the circuit board to the processing unit, in which the binary code for that key is stored in the memory. The processing unit also sends the code to the display. Each key is connected by a different pair of lines to the processing unit, which repeatedly checks the lines to find out when a pair is linked by a key. The memory unit stores the arithmetic instructions for the processing unit and holds the temporary results that occur during calculation. Storage cells in the memory unit hold the binary codes for the keys that have been pressed. The number codes, together with the operation code for the plus key, are held in temporary cells until the processing unit requires them. When the equals key is pressed, it sends a signal to the processing unit. This takes the operation code - for example, addition - and the two numbers being held in the memory unit and performs the operation on the two numbers. After the addition is done, the result goes to the decoder in the calculator's microchip. This code is then sent to the liquid crystal display unit, which shows the result, or output, of the calculation. Question 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To summarize the history of technology B. To explain how a calculator works C. To discuss innovative developments in technology D. To compare computers and calculators with other machines Question 36. What can be inferred about machines that are not calculators or computers? A. They are older than computers. B. They are less expensive than computers. C. They cannot store information in a memory. D. They have simple memory and processing units. Question 37. The word “innovative” in paragraph 1 could best replaced by _____. A. revolutionary B. complicated C. important D. recent Question 38. In what part of the calculator are the processing and memory units? A. The output unit B. The solar cells C. The battery D. The microchip Question 39. According to the passage, one function of the memory unit is . A. to control the keyboard B. to send codes to the display unit C. to alter basic arithmetic instructions D. to store temporary results during calculation Question 40. The word “This” in paragraph 5 refers to ___. A. the equal key B. the plus key C. the memory unit D. the processing unit Question 41. The word “contacts” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ____. A. connections B. commands C. locations D. codes Question 42. Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE about calculators? A. Sending codes takes place only in the memory unit of a calculator. B.
