VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer

Arthur Dove
Arthur Dove was an abstract nature painter whose work was radically different and
underappreciated in the American art scene.
[1] In fact, Dove was the first American artist to paint in an entirely abstract manner. [2]
He painted a set of six abstract works around 1910, prior to the European artist Wassily
Kandinsky’s famous abstract compositions. [3] Kandinsky’s abstract work, however,
complemented the cultural context in Europe, and was therefore appreciated. Dove’s
work had no similar cultural context in America. [4]
Overall, Dove's abstract paintings did nothing to change Amercican art. His work was not
once but twice orphaned: by the general indifference of the Amercican public, and by
his own reclusive nature. Nevertheless, Dove's abstract paintings remain interesting
compositions on nature.
Dove once wrote, “I would like to make something that is real in itself, or to be real
without looking like something else, that does not remind anyone of any other thing, and
that does not have to be explained, like the letter A for instance.”

A. Because there were too many abstract nature painters at the time.
B. Because his paintings did nothing to change society.
C. Because they did not have a cultural context in America.
D. Because America was not interested in European painters.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Television
An American TV network has had an international hit with the drama "24”. a thriller
known for its suspense and often graphic violence. Over the past year, controversy has
surrounded the series because of its portrayal of Muslim terrorists and its frequent scenes
of torture. But the content of “24” is not the only thing that would have been unthinkable
on prime−time television 20 years ago. Its form also represents a major change in modem
TV: during each episode’s 44 minutes − a real−time hour, minus 16 minutes for
commercials – the show connects the lives of 21 different characters, each with their own
personalities and specific relationships with other characters. Nine different story lines (or
“threads") arc depicted, eachinvolving events and information revealed in previous
episodes. [ I ]
[2] For years many people have assumed that popular culture is in a state of decline
rapidly degenerating into “junk culture" with no worthwhile purpose. But an interesting
new book challenges that assumption. “Everything Bad is Good for You: How Today’s
Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter," by Steven Johnson, makes a persuasive
argument that today’s complex TV dramas and other pop culture Products gives healthy
mental exercise. He calls the use or complex, interwoven plot lines involving multiple
characters “multi−threading”, and it is a new and growing phenomenon in TV To keep up
with shows like “24", he points out, you must “pay attention, make inferences, track
shifting social relationships", and these cognitive challenges are changịng our mental
development for the better. [3]
VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí[4] The most obvious change in the last five years of narrative entertainment is the rise of
reality TV, Surely, you might be thinking, watching “Survivor" or “The Bachelor” cannot
possibly raise anyone's IQ “Survivor” is now in its tenth season, and “The Bachelor” is in
its seventh. But as Johnson tells us lately “even the junk has improved”. The new reality
shows are like games: they arc series of competitive tests, each more challenging than the
last, and with rules that must be learned as you play. On “Survivor" for instance, the
participants and the audience know the general objective of the game but each episode
brings new challenges that require quick thinking. Success in these games calls for the
intellectual labor of finding the weak spots in the rules and in your opponents. This labor
is done not just by the stars of the shows but the viewers at home as well. This is what
makes these shows such fun to watch − the human mind enjoys being challenged. As
Johnson writes, “There’s real pleasure ... in solving puzzles, detecting patterns or
understanding a complex narrative system.”
Question 55: What is the topic of the passage?
A. The decline of TV today B. Benefits of TV today
C. TV and culture D. Why “24” became a hit
Question 56: Which is the best place for the following sentence?
“It is not only hour−long dramas that make us smarter."

Question 57: The word “each” in paragraph I refers to ____. .
A. story lines B. characters C. episodes D. personalities

A. prove that TV has become much more violent
B. show how TV has become more complex
C. explain why many TV shows nowadays are controversial
D. argue against ỈIS graphic violence and portrayal of terrorists
Question 59: It can be inferred that the author of the passage
A. agrees with Steven Johnson’s views
B. strongly disagrees with Steven Johnson's views
C. has no opinion about Steven Johnson’s views
D. agrees with some of Johnson’s views but disagrees with others

James Whistler
James Whistler was born in 1834 in Massachusetts, the son of a West Point graduate
and civil engineer. [1] He moved with his family at the age of nine to St. Peterdburg,
Russia, where he studied drawing. At age 14, he joined his sister her husband in London
to continue his studies in art. A year later, following the death of his father, he returned to
America and lived in Connecticut. He attended but flunked out of West Point because of
his inadquacies in chemistry. [2] Affronted at what he considered to be America’s poor
treatment of artists, and perhaps because of his academic failure, Whistler moves to
Europe permanently in 1855 at the age of 21. He first lived and studied in Paris, where he
was influenced by Coubet’s Realism and was associated with the avant garde.
Whistler moved to London four years later and became known for his
outspokenness, controversy,
expensive lifestyle and frequent debt. [3] In 1866 he traveled to Chile, returning to
London a year later. By 1879, he was bankrupt, and went to Venice for a year, where be
was commissioned to create a series paintings of the city. By the late 1880s he had
achieved international fame, and was president of the Society of British Artists from 1886
to 1888. He published his manifesto, theGentle Art of Making Enemies, in 1890. In 1888
at the age of 54 he married Beatrix Godwin, a widow who died eight years later of
cancer, Whistler followed her in death seven years later, at the age of 69[4].
Whistler's paintings are well-regarded, though he never achieved greatness;
nevertheless, he considered to have been a major influence in England's modern art
movement. He hated the narrative, and he refused to teach morals through art. He rejected
scenes of ordinary life, preferring to depict
well-designed moments. Critics have noted that the placid nature of his paintings was in
sharp contrast to the wildness of his lifestyle. One of his more famous works, generally
VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phíreferred to as “Whistler's Mother" but which he controversially titled "Arrangement in
Grey and Black, NO. 1” places him in the pantheon of American artists. It is thus ironic
that he spent his adult life in Europe, primarily in England, and that painting of his
mother was purchased by government of France and resides in the Museed’ Orsay of
Paris.
Question 55: What is the topic of the passage?

A. quiet and conservative B. outspoken and controversial
C.well-designed and placid D. wild and original
Question 59: The word “ Affronted” in paragraph 1 is closest meaning to ________

2. Whistler’s art and another American art
3. Whistler’s lifestyle and his paintings
4. Whistler’s views and critics’s views
Question 64: Complete the summary by choosing one sentence ( A, B, C or D ) that is
among the most important information to fill in the blank.
1. Influences on Whistler’s art were many, but perhaps the most important ones were the
Pre-Raphaelites and the Realism of Coubet
2. Whistler’s work, which places him among the best American painters, reflected the
lavish nature of his lifestyle.
3. Whistler was born in the US. But in his youth traveled in Europe, eventually moving
there, partly because of America’s poor treatment of artists.

Whistler led a controversial life in London, and continued to travel, notably to the
Netherlands and Venice. Today Whistler is not considered great, though his work –

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.
Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes
sensitive to a substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk,
wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet
these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the
individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying
interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an
allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy,
since it can show up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many
other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches,
irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood,
wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not
develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around
seven months. Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods
containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate.
Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine,
pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and
prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people have been successful in treating their
migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are
hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods
high in salicylates from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches,
tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the
book “Why your Child is Hyperactive”. Other researchers have had mixed results when
testing whether the diet is effective.

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.
Iron production was revolutionized in the early eighteenth century when coke was first
used instead of charcoal for refining iron ore. Previously the poor quality of the iron had
restricted its use in architecture to items such as chains and tie bars for supporting arches,
vaults, and walls. With the improvement in refining ore, it was now possible to make
cast-iron beams, columns, and girders. During the nineteenth century further advances
were made, notably Bessemer's process for converting iron into steel, which made the
material more commercially viable.
Iron was rapidly adopted for the construction of bridges, because its strength was far
greater than that of stone or timber, but its use in the architecture of buildings developed
more slowly. By 1800 a complete internal iron skeleton for buildings had been developed
in industrial architecture replacing traditional timber beams, but it generally remained
concealed. Apart from its low cost, the appeal of iron as a building material lay in its
strength, its resistance to fire, and its potential to span vast areas. As a result, iron became
increasingly popular as a structural material for more traditional styles of architecture
during the nineteenth century, but it was invariably concealed.
Significantly, the use of exposed iron occurred mainly in the new building types spawned
by the Industrial Revolution: in factories, warehouses, commercial offices, exhibition
hall, and railroad stations, where its practical advantages far outweighed its lack of status.
Designers of the railroad stations of the new age explored the potential of iron, covering
huge areas with spans that surpassed the great vaults of medieval churches and
cathedrals. Paxton's Crystal Palace, designed to house the Great Exhibition of 1851,
covered an area of 1.848 feet by 408 feet in prefabricated units of glass set in iron frames.
The Paris Exhibition of 1889 included both the widest span and the greatest height
achieved so far with the Halle Des Machines, spanning 362 feet, and the Eiffel Tower
1,000 feet high. However, these achievements were mocked by the artistic elite of Paris
as expensive and ugly follies. Iron, despite its structural advantages, had little aesthetic
VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phístatus. The use of an exposed iron structure in the more traditional styles of architecture
was slower to develop.
55. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Advances in iron processing in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

A. quickly started B. gradually opened

A. all available iron was needed for other purposes
B. limited mining capability made iron too expensive
C. iron was considered too valuable for use in public buildings
D. the use of charcoal for refining ore produced poor quality iron
58. Iron replaced stone and timber in the building of bridges because iron was considered
______.
A. more beautiful B. new and modern

Environment contains water, soil, air, which are necessary to all of the livings. Therefore,
we are trying to find solutions to environmental pollution. People should stop cutting
trees for timber instead of planting trees and forests. Besides, people should reduce using
cars, motorbikes that cause noise and air pollution. The next measure is that we should
prevent farmers from using fertilizers and pesticides that damage soil. In addition, people
should not leave litter on land and in water and we should prohibit factories from
dumping industrial waste into rivers and lakes. It is high time governments had suitable
measures that require companies, as well as individuals, to stop cutting down and
polluting activities.

Cutting the Apron Strings
There is substantial evidence that students going off to college have changed over the
years. For one thing, studies show that they are emotionally closer to their parents and
their parents to them. One thing that means is that they depend on each other more for
happiness. It puts a burden on children for parents to use their children as vehicles for
their own happiness — although today's young people seem complicit in this
arrangement, perhaps because they've known no other way — even if it creates anxiety in
the children. That's one reason parents like to be involved in their children's college
experiences, and colleges have had to devise novel ways of getting parents off campus
when they transport their kids to school.
There's also evidence that students today seem to be choosing schools with reference to
proximity to home. The closer a student is to home, the easier it is to bring the laundry
home and to land in your old bed with tea and sympathy when you have the sniffles. And
the easier it is for parents to visit you at university whenever the mood strikes. The
amount of visiting parents do is far more than in generations past.
But in a real sense, students don't really leave their parents behind. Their parents go to
college right along with them — in their front pockets. That is, the parents are a speed
dial away by cellphone. And the evidence is clear that students call parents and parents
call students at an alarmingly frequent rate. This, of course, significantly reduces
independence. A student doesn't get the chance to solve minor problems on his own — he
just calls Mom or Dad. A student has initial problems getting along with a roommate? A
VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phíroommate doesn't do laundry as often as the other roommate wishes (I'm talking about
actual incidents, not hypothetical ones? A student gets a C on her first paper? Instead of
absorbing the negative information and figuring out how to resolve the problem or how to
do better, the call gets made to home, where Mom or Dad solves the problem, often by
calling the school administration. This kind of behavior is, sadly, commonplace today and
is a mark of the lack of coping skills among students because all the lumps and bumps
have been taken out of life for them until now.
In addition to being tethered to parents, incoming freshmen are now very heavily
connected (by cellphone) to classmates from high school, who are presumably at other
colleges. So there isn't the great impetus to mix and venture forth to meet new people, to
get out of one's comfort zone, to get drawn into new experiences, that has traditionally
marked the beginning of freshman year. The laws of physics still apply, and it is difficult
to be meeting new people and seeking novel experiences while you are talking to your
old pals.

indicate the correct word or phrase for each of the blanks.
One of the most famous concert halls in America is the Carnegie Hall in New York.
Initially, it was called simply the 'Music Hall', but three years after its opening it was
renamed in honour of Andrew Carnegie, the man who had provided much of the finance
for its building.
The Hall officially opened on May 5, 1891. Since then the Hall has played host to the
giants of classical music, as well as those of jazz, pop, folk and rock music, and has also
been used for political rallies, religious services and lectures.
One of the most dramatic lectures given in the Hall took place during its first year. This
began simply as a talk accompanied by slides of paintings of sunsets and landscapes,
which was what the audience had been expecting. However, as the lecture progressed, the
effects became more dramatic, with thunder, rolling clouds and steam billowing over the
audience's head while mechanical volcanoes exploded on stage - all to the amazement
and delight of the audience.
In 1927 the violinist Yehudi Menuhin made his appearance at the Carnegie Hall for the
first time - he was aged ten. In the afternoon before the performance, he was wandering
around the Hall instead of practising and was fascinated by an axe which he saw on the
wall. The axe was for use in a fire but the boy, not knowing this, asked a security guard
what it was for. The guard made an impression with his reply: "That's for chopping the
heads off soloists who don't play well enough. Quite a few have already been chopped
off." Yehudi went rushing back to practise.
On one occasion another famous violinist and a pianist were giving a performance
together when the violinist got lost in the music. He anxiously looked to the pianist for
help and whispered "Where are we?". He received the less than helpful reply "In the
Carnegie Hall".
Rock and roll made its first appearance at the Carnegie Hall in 1955 with Bill Haley and
his Comets. In 1964 the British invasion arrived when the Beatles played their first
concert here. On the day of the concert, cars came to a halt all over the city and the
crowds surrounding the building were enormous. Fortunately, in all the chaos nobody
was seriously injured and the Hall escaped with only minor damage.
VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phíIn the 1950s the building was threatened with demolition but a vigorous campaign to save
it was led by the conductor, Isaac Stern. In 1960 the Hall was purchased by the City of
New York and a few years later it was named a national landmark. Over the years the
most famous musicians, singers and entertainers in the world have appeared there - no
doubt they will continue to do so for many years to come.

In the future, students may have the choice of studying at home by using technology
such as computers or television, or of studying at traditional school. Which would
you prefer?
Example:
Technology is so increasingly advanced that going to school may be unnecessary for
future education. However, traditional schools still offer more indispensable benefits that
VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phíoutweigh technology. First and foremost, direct guide from lecturers can make learning
more easily and seriously. Teachers’ voice, eye contact and varied teaching methods make
the lesson more interesting to listen to. Students can also satisfied by chances of
exchanging more information and receiving greater care from teachers. Besides, with
teachers’ assignment and homework, more pressure is placed on study. Another
advantage to mention is the development of related skills when going to school. Schools
are mini societies that promote communication skill as well as relationship among
students through daily school- preparation and conversation. Last but not least, studying
at traditional school is much healthier. Instead of sitting at home for hours to learn,
learners have to travel and play at break. Their eyes will be less affected while their body
are more energetic. In sum, traditional schools provide better study environment than
technological study at home.

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.
Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form
of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through
sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and
the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole
words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however,
cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking.
A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots
read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and
picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and
techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

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.
Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology
at college and zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s
degree in 1933. In 1936, she was hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she
worked most of her life.
Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent
reviews, but sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The
Sea Around Us, which provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface,
emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine biology. Her imagery and
language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources. She
had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field.
However, she always realized the limitations of her nontechnical readers.
In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It
proved how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She
detailed how they poison the food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate
human food. At the time, spokesmen for the chemical industry mounted personal attacks
against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were flawed.
However, her work was proved by a 1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory
Committee.
