III. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the questions. (10 pts)
Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the
future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines
have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural
gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently
available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable
source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering
everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans,
bikes and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are
focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities
will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots
will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or
attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation
centres might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centres
that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to
suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer
trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of
vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.
01: The author’s purpose in the passage is to______.
A. criticize conventional vehicles C. narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles
B. support the invention of electric cars D. describe the possibilities for transportation in the future
02: The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT______.
A. planes B. trolleys C. vans D. trains
03: The passage would most likely be followed by details about______.
A. the neighborhood of the fixture C. electric shuttle buses
B. automated freeways D. pollution restrictions in the future
04: The word ‘compact’ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to______.
A. squared B. long-range C. inexpensive D. concentrated
05: In the second paragraph, the author implies that______.
A. everyday life will stay much the same in our fixture.
B. a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several modes of transportation
C. a dependable source of electric energy will eventually be developed.
D. electric vehicles are not practical for the future
06: According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will be______.
A. much larger than they are today C. common as today’s gas stations
B. more convenient than they are today D. equipped with charging devices
07: The word ‘charging’ in this passage refers to______.
A. aggression B. lightning C. electricity D. credit cards
08: The word ‘foresee’ in this passage could best be replaced with______.
A. imagine B. count on C. rely on D. invent
09: The word ‘commuters’ in paragraph 4 refers to______.
A. visitors B. cab drivers C. shoppers D. daily travelers
10: The word ‘hybrid' in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to______.
A. hazardous B. futuristic C. automated D. combination

II: Topic: Media are said to affect us different ways. Discuss the matter in a composition. (20 pts)
I think the media pay too much attention to the private lives of famous people. Television, newspapers,
magazines and web sites dig up all kinds of past bad actions. They say that these are true reflections of a
person's character. This may be true if they occurred only a few years before, but some of these are things
people did as teenagers. People in their forties are expected to explain something they did when they were
fifteen. If they killed someone, obviously that's more than a youthful mistake. Usually, though, these incidents
involve experiments with drugs or being reckless in a car. They're not something that the public needs to
know.
The media love to say that the public has a right to know. That's not true. We don't need to know if a
movie star or politician has had an extramarital affair. That is something of concern only to the people
involved. We do need to know if someone we're electing to public office has been involved in shady business
deals, but we don't need to know if he or she defaulted on a loan twenty years ago.
It seems the media dig up these facts without giving thoughtful consideration to what might happen. It
has an effect on the celebrity's family, especially the children. A celebrity's good name and credibility may be
ruined before he or she can prove that rumors are false. If a case goes to court, paying a lawyer can use up
all their money. Even if it doesn't come to that, they may find their career ruined.
When are we, the public, going to make it clear to the media that we're tired of having to watch this
kind of thing on the news? Wouldn't it be better if they would concentrate on more important issues?

Read the passage then choose the correct answer:

Reality Television.
Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic
or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather than professional actors.
It could be described as a form of artificial or “heightened” documentary. Although the genre has existed in
some form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around
2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats from game or quiz shows
which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programs produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern
example is Gaki or Tsukai), to surveillance – or voyeurism-focused productions such as Big brother.
Critics say that the term’ reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
show portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic locations or
abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen hander, and with events on
screen manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.
Part of reality television appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
For example, on the ABC show, the Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously,
traveling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its
participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance programs such as pop idol, though
frequently Survivor and Big brother participants also reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name ‘reality television” is an inaccurate description for several
styles of program included the genre. In competition based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and
other special –living environment shows like The real World, the producers design the format of the show and
control the day-to-day activities and the environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the
competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios,
challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviors and conflicts. Mark Burned, creator of
Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word” reality’ to describe
his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama.”

Read the passage and choose the best answer for each of the questions below
Archeological records-paintings, drawings, and carvings of humans engaged in activities involving the use of
hands- indicate that humans have been predominantly right-handed for more than 5,000 years. In ancient
Egyptian artwork, for example, the right hand is depicted as the dominant one in about 90 percent of the
examples. Fractured or wear patterns on tools also indicate that a majority of ancient people were right-
handed.
Cro- Magnon cave paintings some 27,000 years old commonly show outlines of human hands made
by placing one hand against the cave wall and applying paint with the other. Children today make similar
outlines of their hands with Crayons on paper. With few exceptions, left hands of Cro-Magnons are displayed
on cave walls, indicating that the paintings were usually done by right –hander. Anthropological evidence
pushes the record of handedness in early human ancestors back to at least 1.4 million years ago. One
important line of evidence comes from flaking patterns of stone cores used in toll making; implements flaked
with a clockwise motion (indicating a right-handed tool maker) can be distinguished from those flaked with a
counter-clockwise rotation( indicating a left-handed toolmaker).
Even scratches found on fossil human teeth offer clues. Ancient humans are thought to have cut meat
into strips by holding it between their teeth and slicing it with stone knives, as do the present-day Inuit.
Occasionally the knives slip and leave scratches on the users’ teeth. Scratches made with a left –to-right
stroke direction ( by right-handers) are more common than scratches in the opposite direction (made by left-
handers).
Still other evidence comes from Cranial morphology: Scientists think that physical differences
between the two sides of the interior of the skull indicate subtle physical differences between the two sides of
the brain . The variation between the hemispheres corresponds to which side of the body is used to perform
specific activities. Such studies, as well as studies of tool use, indicate that right-or left –sided dominance is
not exclusive to modern Hom habilis, seem to have been predominantly right-handed, as we are.

Câu 51: What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Hman ancestors were more skilled at using both hands than modern humans.
B. Human ancestors became predominantly right- handed when they began to use tools.
C. It is difficult to interpret the significance of anthropological evidence concerning tool use.

Câu 54: When compared with “implements flaked with a counter- clockwise rotation” (paragragh 2), it
can be inferred that” implements flaked with a clockwise motion are
A. larger B. older. C. more sophiticated D. more common
Câu 55: The word “Cranial morphology” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ‘………….”
A. the study of skulls B. the study of physical bodies
C. the form of body D. the form of crane
Câu 56: The fact that the Inuit cut meat by holding it between their teeth is significant because…
A. The scratches patterns produced by stone knives vary significantly from patterns produced by modern
knives.
B. It demonstrates that ancient humans were not skilled at using tools.
C. The relationship between handedness and scratches on fossil human teeth can be verified.
D. It emphasizes the differences between contemporary humans and their ancestors.

A. studies. B. differences C. activities D. sides
Câu 58: Why does the author mention Homo erectus and Homo habilis in the last paragraph?
A. To contrast them with modern humans
B. To prove that the population of Neanderthal was very large
C. To show that early humans were also predominantly right- handed.
D. To explain when human ancestors began to make tools
Câu 59: All of the following are mentioned as types of evidence concerning handedness EXCEPT…
A. studies of tool use B. asymmetrical skull
C. fossilized hand bones D. ancient artwork
Câu 60: Which of the following conclusions is suggested by the evidence from Cranial morphology’
(line 19)
A. Differences in the hemispheres of the brain probably came about relatively recently
B. There may be a link between handedness and differences in the brain’s hemisphere
C. Variation between the brain’s hemisphere was not evident in the skulls of Homo Eructus and
Homohabilis
D. Left-handedness was somewhat more common among Neanderthals.
