In order to gain ....(38)....into the behaviour of these animals, Shaun spent seven years in the USA studying wolves, and even living among them.

II. Fill in each numbered blank ONE suitable word.

STRESS AND ATHLETIC SUCCESS Success, in any field, is often a matter of how well a person is ....(49)... to control the amount of stress they experience. As stress increases, their performance often ...(50)..., but there is a certain point beyond which their performance begins to decline sharply. Sports psychologists now help Olympic athletes, ...(51)... others, balance the good and bad effects of stress.

Before an athletic event, a high ...(52)... of excitement can actually have a positive effect on the athlete. This excitement becomes harmful, ...(53)... if negative thoughts take over. Thoughts such as "What if I fail?" or "I know the others are better than me" should definitely be avoided. Psychologists help athletes manage to replace negative thoughts with positive ...(54)...

Another useful technique before competing ....(55)... to recognize your level of excitement and adjust it if necessary. Music may be helpful ...(56)... these cases. If you are over-excited, listening to soft music can help to calm you down. If you are not excited ....(57)...., you may want to listen to fast, powerful music to raise your spirits.

The key to success, in other words, is a person's knowledge of their ideal level of excitement. An imbalance either way could mean the difference ...(58)... success and failure.

COMMUNICATION

0 Managers spend most of their time communicating-reading, and writi: djW 00 talking and listening- yet the evidence is that they do not always do this

j

.and..

00,

59 as successfully. One reason that has been suggested for this is that, in the*

59.

60 past, communication was regarded as a natural process, not been taught

60.

61 in any formal sense. This theory has been changing, and with the concept

61.

62 of communication as an "art" now appears regularly in the management

62.

63 courses and seminars. Communication is probably onlj^one of the least

63.

64 appreciated aspects of management, and more and more organizations are

64.

65 realizing that effective communication involves telling staff why all things

65.

66 are happening. This not only helps day-to-day working but allows changes

66.

67 to be introduced more smoothly, and sometimes leads to improvements for

67.

68 being mentioned by staff. Both the morale and efficiency of an organization

68.

69 are depend to a great extent on the abilities of its staff to communicate

69.

70 effectively, Communication is not something that should be undertaken

70.

71 only when trouble occurs. It should be a daily habit if the organization is

71.

72 to run smoothly and avoid difficulties and, of course, it should be both a

72.

73 two-way process, involving listening to as well as talking. Regular

73.

exchanges of ideas between managers and staff will help to create good teamwork.

IV. Underline one mistake in each line in the passage below and then correct it. Write your on the spaces provided on the right. Number (0) has been done as an example. ^ ^ r rrection re

0 The world's oceans are so vast that they can cope with the present levels

0 .. .level.

74 of pollution. However, few is known about the long-term effects of

74

75 such slow poisoning. The more serious problem of modern times is that

75.

76 man is destroyed the earth's natural resources and transforming huge area

76.

77 into wasteland. As the result, it is becoming extremely difficult to grow

77.

78 enough to feed the world's rapid increased population. A way of protecting

78.

79 all the wildlife in the earth must also be found as many species are in

79.

4

80 extreme danger of disappearance complete from the face of the earth . The

80.

81 dangers, however, are not confine solely the land and the sea. The smoke in

81.

82 the atmosphere, for example, is increasing so many that the amount of

82.

83 sunlight has been educed in many cities. Man's whole environment is being

83.

changed in a serious way.

V. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each question.

HOW CAN YOU TELL WHEN SOMEBODY IS LYING? Psychologist Paul Ekman has made a lifetime study of how people act when they lie. Usually they not only want the hearer to believe the words they are saying; they also want to cover up some strong emotion that they are feeling such as guilt, shame, fear, anger, pain, or even pleasure. By noticing the contradictions between their words and their behaviour, Ekman found that he could catch them in the act of lying.

Ekman concludes that there are four kinds of behaviour that can give a lie away: the liar's words, voice, body and face. He says that liars try hardest to control their words and face, since they assume that that's what listener will be paying attention to. Consequently "lie catchers" should also pay close attention to the speaker's voice and body signals, which he may forget to control.

Obviously most lies are untruthful words, and it's these words that we focus on. A common problem for liars is keeping their story straight. As we all know, one lie leads to another, and before the liar knows it, someone will comment, "But that's not what you said a few minutes ago.". A less common but more fatal giveaway is what's called a "slip of the tongue," in which the liar accidentally tells the truth instead of the lie she intended to tell. Additionally, frequent pauses may indicate that she is making up the story as she goes along.

The liar's voice can also give her away, and the voice is much harder to control than the word..

When telling a lie, she may speak unusually loudly or softly, may speed up or slow downherspeed for no apparent reason. This can be because of the emotion she's hiding. The voice-clue that seems to be the most reliable is that when people are upset, their voices tend to become higher. But Ekman points out that vocal changes such as these are not always signs of lying; they simply indicate strong emotion which the person may be trying to conceal.

Some body behaviors can be controlled, but others can't. When telling a lie, a person may swallow frequently, sweat, or breathe faster. Gestures can give her away: nervous gestures, such as swinging the foot, scratching or rubbing parts of the body, or twisting the hair often increase when a person is self-conscious or under stress. The normal gestures that usually accompany speech are often used less when someone is lying. Or the liar may accidentally use a gesture that contradicts her words, such as nodding "yes" while saying "no.".

84. According to paragraph 1 Ekman could catch people lying seeing that....................

A. they were showing intense emotions B. they were hiding their real feelings C. what they said and did disagreed D. their behavior was unusual 85. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. A liar tries to keep you from seeing his true emotions.

Liars make much effort to control their facial expression. . The listener should concentrate on what the speaker says.

D. You can catch a person lying if you know what to look at.

86. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Liars do their best to select the right words.

B. Liars are good at making their stories sound logical.

C. Liars take great pains to avoid a "slip of the tongue".

D. Liars pause frequently to remember the details of the past events.

87. According to paragraph 4 when lying people try to......................

A. sound nice and kind B. hide their frustration C. speak faster than usual D. look reliable to the speaker 88. Body behaviors...........

5

A. are more obvious when people are nervous B. depend on a person's temperament C. give away people's intentions D. can hardly be checked 84.

Communication is not something that should be undertaken 71 only when trouble occurs. It should be a daily habit if the organization is 72 to run smoothly and avoid difficulties and, of course, it should be both a 73 two-way process, involving listening to as well as talking.

V. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each question.

HOW CAN YOU TELL WHEN SOMEBODY IS LYING? Psychologist Paul Ekman has made a lifetime study of how people act when they lie. Usually they not only want the hearer to believe the words they are saying; they also want to cover up some strong emotion that they are feeling such as guilt, shame, fear, anger, pain, or even pleasure. By noticing the contradictions between their words and their behaviour, Ekman found that he could catch them in the act of lying.

Ekman concludes that there are four kinds of behaviour that can give a lie away: the liar's words, voice, body and face. He says that liars try hardest to control their words and face, since they assume that that's what listener will be paying attention to. Consequently "lie catchers" should also pay close attention to the speaker's voice and body signals, which he may forget to control.

Obviously most lies are untruthful words, and it's these words that we focus on. A common problem for liars is keeping their story straight. As we all know, one lie leads to another, and before the liar knows it, someone will comment, "But that's not what you said a few minutes ago.". A less common but more fatal giveaway is what's called a "slip of the tongue," in which the liar accidentally tells the truth instead of the lie she intended to tell. Additionally, frequent pauses may indicate that she is making up the story as she goes along.

The liar's voice can also give her away, and the voice is much harder to control than the word..

When telling a lie, she may speak unusually loudly or softly, may speed up or slow down her speed for no apparent reason. This can be because of the emotion she's hiding. The voice-clue that seems to be the most reliable is that when people are upset, their voices tend to become higher. But Ekman points out that vocal changes such as these are not always signs of lying; they simply indicate strong emotion which the person may be trying to conceal.

Some body behaviors can be controlled, but others can't. When telling a lie, a person may swallow frequently, sweat, or breathe faster. Gestures can give her away: nervous gestures, such as swinging the foot, scratching or rubbing parts of the body, or twisting the hair often increase when a person is self-conscious or under stress. The normal gestures that usually accompany speech are often used less when someone is lying. Or the liar may accidentally use a gesture that contradicts her words, such as nodding "yes" while saying "no.".

84. According to paragraph 1 Ekman could catch people lying seeing that.......................

A. they were showing intense emotions B. they were hiding their real feelings C. what they said and did disagreed D. their behavior was unusual 85. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. A liar tries to keep you from seeing his true emotions.

B. Liars make much effort to control their facial expression.

C. The listener should concentrate on what the speaker says.

D. You can catch a person lying if you know what to look at.

86. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Liars do their best to select the right words.

B. Liars are good at making their stories sound logical. ^ Liars take great pains to avoid a "slip of the tongue". iars pause frequently to remember the details o f the past events.

87. Ac According to paragraph 4 when lying people try to.........................

A. sound nice and kind B. hide their frustration C. speak faster than usual D. look reliable to the speaker 88. Body behaviors.............

PART III:READING COMPREHENSION (25 points) Questions 51-55: You are going to read an extract from a magazine article about psychology. Five paragraphs have been removed from the extract. Choose from the paragraphs A-F the one which fits each gap (51- 55). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. Write your answers injiL^he box below. you're a loner, you're probably a member o f many different groups. Some are long lasting, like your family, while others, such as a football crowd, are temporary. Every group functions in different ways but there are still some common psychological features to any group.

(5 1 )__________ Being part of a group changes the way you behave. The presence of others has a generally arousing effect on the nervous system. This is natural-you don't know what they will do. They may move about, speak to you, or even attack you, and your brain has to pay attention to all these messages. Having others around is just distracting. It divides your attention, so you can't focus on the task in hand.

TIẾNGANH CHUYÊN VÀO 10 trang 3

(52 ) _________ But when it comes to complex tasks, the prospect of not being evaluated may free you from anxiety, so encouraging you to perform better. To test this, psychologists asked volunteers to carry out a complex computer task in separate rooms. Some were told performance would be evaluated individually - causing performance anxiety - while others were told the results would be averaged with the rest of the group. As expected, the second group did better than the first.

(53 ) _________ The problem becomes even worse when individuals are disguised with war paint or uniforms. Analysis

shows that the more people there are in a mob, the greater the antisocial behaviour. Being 'submerged' within a group does have many negative connotations but it's not always a bad thing. Instead of thinking about a rowdy mob, think of relaxing, dancing and enjoying yourself at a party where you are also just a part of the crowd.

(54 ) _________

But surprisingly, research has shown that the use of this technique by groups isn't that effective in either the number or quality of ideas generated. You get better results if you set people to work individually on a problem. We also tend to assume that decisions made by groups are better than those made by individuals, which is why we form committees.

(55 ) _________

But any group can get a decision badly wrong because their thought processes can go awry. This is a process psychologists call 'groupthink'. A close-knit group of advisers isolated from argument and criticism can grow to believe they can do no wrong. The group then becomes more important than the individuals who are part of it. Further, a leadership style which concentrates on the group rather than the individual can contribute to this.

For a group and its behaviour are shaped by who is in charge and the roles the other members play. A good front man or woman is persuasive, not directive, communicates and speaks clearly, listens well and appeals to group members' emotions and feelings as well as thought^jy/ideas. Many, but not all, leaders show dominance in the group. But the dominant person in the group doesn't always make the best leader, and it isn't necessarily true that having the smartest people always makes for the most successful group.

A.

This lack o f individual accountability may lead to people letting go o f their inhibitions - a process known as ’deindividuation'. Sometimes this is dangerous, releasing violent and impulsive behaviours that individuals would never dream o f indulging in alone.

B.

They have a need for power, characterised by talking a lot, wanting to be listened to and to make decisions. In a group it can be easy to spot the dominant people. They make eye contact, point and even touch people but don't encourage return gestures. Such behaviour studies have been key in shaping business organisation.

C. For example, in general, humans are social animals, that's why we get together in groups in the first place. Important elements o f our individual identity come from being part o f a group. Most people enjoy being in a group - it's a way o f forming emotionally satisfying relationships.

D. But ‘itithas hasto i be a carefully selected team, not a randomly generated group, i f creative decisions are to b^npade. In fact, theory on team building has shown that it is better if people work in small teams o f tentary pairs. Big teams don't get anything done, even though people like them. ♦ S3, how does all this stimulation affect achievement? It has been argued that people do better on iimple well-rehearsed activities when they're with others than when they are alone. Also, i f their individual efforts within the group are not being monitored, there's a tendency to relax and merge into the crowd.

F. Another positive feature o f groups is that they generate ideas and opinions, and use these to make decisions. That's why the modern trend in teaching is fo r students to work in small groups to prepare presentations and why brainstorming is so popular in the work context.

RAIN M AKING When it rains, it does not always pour. During a typical storm, a (41. COMPARE) amount o f the lock-up moisture in each cloud reaches the ground as rain. So the idea th^ intervention - a rain dance, perhaps - might encourage the sky to give up a little (42. A D D ) _______ water has been around since prehistoric times. More recently, would-be rain makers have used a more direct procedure - that o f throwing (43. V A R Y ) _______ chemicals out o f aero-planes in an ^ fq j^ to wring more rain from the clouds, a practice known as “cloud seeding”.

Yet such techniques, which were first developed in the 1940s, are (44. NOTORIETY) _______ difficult to evaluate. It is hard to (45. c e r t a i n ) ________ , for example, how much rain woulcNfcave fallen anyway.

So, despite much anecdotal evidence o f the advantages o f cloud seeding, has led to its adoption in more than 40 countries around the world, as far as scientists are concert}ea, results are still (46.

CONCLUSIVE) _______ . That could be about to change. For the past three\g2J^(47. RESEARCH)_________ have been carrying out the most extensive and (48. RIGOUR)_______ evaluation to date of a revolutionary new technique that will substantially boost the volume of (49. R A IN )________ .

PA RT III:R E A D IN G C O M PR EH EN SIO N (25 points) Questions 51-55: You are going to read a m agazine article on space travel. Five p arag rap h s have been rem oved from the article. Choose from the p a ra g rap h s A-G the one which fits each gap (51- 55).

There is one extra p a ra g ra p h which you do not need to use. T here is an example at the beginning (0).

W rite your answ ers into the box CH EA P A CCESS TO SPACE Charles Conrad went to the moomwith Apollo 12 and circled the Earth in Skylab. But from now on, he is going to aim high for himself. His company, Universal Space Lines, hopes to produce a more economic rocket that will be able to go^in space again and again.

(0) _____ G ______ ^ NASA, the JJ.S, government-owned space program, plans to develop such a rocket. However, the immediate priority is missions to Mars, which will require different technology. So it is more likely that people outside the NASA program will develop re-useable rocket design. Rick Tumlinson runs an independent organization called the Space Frontier Foundation and firmly believes that it is time for business to get involved.

(51 ) _________ So Tumlinson is also in business to prove a point. Space is our destiny, he says, so why not get on with it a bit more eagerly? To this end, the SFF is holding a conference in Los Angeles shortly, to be called Space: Open for Business.

(52 ) _________ Another company, Kistler Aerospace, has similar plans; “Our goal is to become a delivery service to low Earth orbit that will radically re-align the economics of doing business in space. Satellites will be our parcels: our vehicles will be operated in repeated flights with air freights efficiency.”

(53 ) __________ _ Their own view is that it is impossible for NASA, which is government-owned, to offer an “open frontier”.

This is not a matter o f budgets or schedules, but o f fundamental purpose and design. NASA is “elitist and Page 3/6

exclusive”, whereas foe SFF believes in opportinities for everyone “a future of endlessly expanding new choices”.

(54 ) _________ O f course, the ex-astronaut and businessman Charles Conrad agrees. “I’m trying to get affordable space transportation up and operative so that everybody can enjoy space. And by the way, the Japanese are hard at work building a space hotel.”

(55 ) _________ If he is right, mass space travel will have arrived by 2050 and space tourism will have become a viable

industry. More importantly, the human race will have made serious progress in crossing that final frontier.

A.

Companies will always be looking fo r profit. For this reason, the SFF is not in favor o f , missions to Mars, claiming that there’s nothing in it for investors. A t the same time, they that these missions could bring scientific benefits.

B.

He sees the NASA program as a bit o f a dinosaur. “25 years after the Wright Brothers, people could buy a commercial plane ticket... but many years after landing on the moon, we sat around watching old astronauts on TV talking about the good old days. ”

C. In 1997, the SFF ran a survey on the Internet, called “Cheap Access to Space”, where it asked American taxpayers for their views on the U.S space program and on what American’s future priorities should be in space transportation.

D.

U.S government officials don V see the future fo r space tourism. Here again, private companies may well prove them wrong. David Ashford, director o f Bristol Spaceplanes Limited, once said that space tourism would begin ten years after people stopped laughingfit the concept. Recently, he added this striking comment: “people have stopped laughing. ”

E.

Charles Conrad is due to speak there. But his company is in fact only one o f several that already have blueprints for getting into space and back cheaply. Rotary is working on something that would be launched like a rocket but return like a helicopter. Pioneer Rocket plane believes there could be a million dollar market in delivering packages from one side o f the planet to the other in an hour.

F.

They would like to see “irreversible human settlement” in space as soon as possible and maintain that this will only happen through free enterprise. “Building buildings and driving trucks is not what astronauts should be doing; tlMi&what the private sector does. ”

G

“Cheap” is an im p fil^iQ p k'd in space technology nowadays and re-useable rockets will be a key way o f controlling casrk^ltey will deliver things to orbits, bring stu ff back to Earth and then go up again, perhaps taps with machinery i fo r a space factory, or even carrying tourists.

Maybe you recycle cans, glass, and paper. Do you know that nature recycles, too? One o f the things nature (6 6 )_______ is water. Water goes from oceans, lakes, and rivers into the air. Water falls from the air as (6 7 )_______ or snow. Rain and snow eventually find their way back to the oceans. Nature’s recycling program for water is (6 8 )_______ the water cycle.

The water cycle has four stages: storage, evaporation, precipitation, and runoff. Water on Earth gets stored in oceans, lakes, rivers, ice, and even underground. Water goes from storage into the atmosphere by a ( 6 9 ) _______ called evaporation. When water evaporates, it changes from a liquid ( 7 0 )_______ a gas, called water vapor. Water vapor goes up into (71) _______ atmosphere. Water returns to the Earth as precipitation in rain or snow by changing into drops o f water when the air ( 7 2 ) _______ cold enough.

Clouds are collections o f water droplets. MosUprecipitation (7 3 )_______ into the oceans and goes right back into storage.

Water that falls on land always flows from (7 4 )________ places to lower ones. This flow is called runoff. Water from land flows into streams. Streams join (75) to make rivers and eventually the water flows into storage in the oceans. Then the water cycle starts all over again.

PART THREE: READING I. Read the passage below and choose the correct answer for each question.

Write your answers A, B, c or D on your answer sheet. (5 pts) Petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosine, home heating oil, residual fuel oil, and lubricating oils, come from one source-crude oil found below the earth's surface, as well as under large bodies of water, from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25,000 feet into the earth's interior. Sometimes crude oil is secured by drilling a hole through the earth, but more dry holes are drilled than those producing oil. Pressure at the source or pumping forces crude oil to the surface.

Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per hour. Petroleum products are always measured in forty-two-gallon barrels.

Petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent or opaque, but regardless, their chemical composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons, other chemical elements found in union with the hydrocarbons are few and are classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but these are of such minute quantities that they are disregarded. The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds which are possible because of the various positions and joinings of these two atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule.

The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating andcondensing the vapors. These products are the so-called light oils, such as gasoline, kerosine^^ncLdistillate oil. The residue remaining after the light oils aredistilled is known as heavy or residual fuel oil and is used mostly for burning under boilers. Additional complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure of the hydrocarbons to produce other products, some of which are used to upgrade and increase the octane rating of various types of gasolines.

1. All of the following are true EXCF.f T A. crude oil is found below land and water B. crude oil is always found a few hundred feet below the surface c. pumping and pressure force crude oil to the surface D. a variety of petroleum products is obtained from crude oil 2. The word "minute" in line 10 is closest in meaning t o _____ .

A. instant B. huge c. insignificant D. timely 3. Many thousands of hydrocarbon compounds are possible because_____ .

A. the petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure c. the two atoms in the molecule assume many positions D. the pressure needed to force it to the surface causes molecular transformation 4. How is crude oil brought to the surface?

A. expansion of the hydrocarbons B. pressure and pumping c. vacuum created in the drilling pipe D. expansion and contraction of the earth's surface

5. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Heating and condensation produce the various products.

B. The various petroleum products are produced by filtration. c. Chemical separation is used to produce the various products.

D. Mechanical means such as the centrifuge are used to produce the various products.

VI. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each question.

“Women hold up half the sky”. This is an old Chinese saying. However, research shows that perhaps women do more than the share of “holding up the sky”.

Fifty percent of the world’s population are women, but in nearly two-thirds of all working hours, the work is done by women. They do most of the domestic work, for example, cooking and washing clothes. Millions also work outside the home. Women hold forty percent of the world’s jobs. For this work, they earn only 40 to 60 percent as much as men, and of course they earn nothing for their domestic work.

In developing countries, where three-fourths of the world’s population live, women produce more than half of the food. In Africa, 80 percent of all agricultural work is done by women.

In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4.45 a.m she gets up, washes, and eats. It takes her half an hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3.00 p.m. She collects firewood until 4.00 p.m then comes back home. She spends the next hour and a half preparing food to cook. Then she collects water for another hour. From 6.30 to 8.30 she cooks. After dinner, she spends an hour washing the dishes. She goes to bed at 9.30 p.m.

41. What is “domestic work”?

A. housework B. firework D. gardening C. homework 42. The average woman earns_____ the average man.

A. more than D. the most B. less than C. the same as 43|In Africa, women do___ of all agricultural work.

D. one-fifth A. four-fifths C. two-thirds B. three-fourths ' Wha is NOT mentioned as the work of a village woman in Africa?

44. What A. working in the fields B. collecting firewood C. bringing water home D. preparing food for children going to school 45. What is the main topic of the passage?

V. Read the fo llo w in g passage a n d choose th e correct answ er to each question.

“Women hold up half the sky” . This is an old Chinese saying. However, research shows that perhaps women do more than the share o f “holding up the sky”.

Fifty percent o f the world’s population are women, but in nearly two-thirds o f all working hours, the work is done by women. They do most o f the domestic work, for example, cooking and washing clothes.

Millions also work outside the home. Women hold forty percent of the world’s jobs. For this work, they earn only 40 to 60 percent as much as men, and of course they earn nothing for their domestic work.

In developing countries, where three-fourths o f the world’s population live, women produce more than half of the food. In Africa, 80 percent of all agricultural work is done by women.

In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4.45 am she gets up, washes, and eats. It takes her half an hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3.00 pm. She collects firewood until 4.00 pm then comes back home. She spends the next hour and a half preparing food to cook. Then she collects water for another hour. From 6.30 to 8.30 she cooks. After dinner, she spends an hour washing the dishes. She goes to bed at 9.30 pm.

41. What is “domestic work”?

A. housework B. firework C. homework D. gardening 3

A. more than B. less than C. the same as D. the most 43. In Africa, women d o _______ o f all agricultural work.

(1PTS) Television’s contribution to family life in the United States has been an equivocal c indeed, kept the members o f the family from dispersing, it has not served to bring them together. Hy dominating the time families spend together, it destroys the special duality that distinguishes one family from

speech and action, turning the living into silent statues so long as the enchantment lasts. The primary danger of the television screen lies not so much in the behavior it produces — although there is danger there — as in the behavior it prevents : the talks, games, the family festivities, and arguments through which much of the child’s learning takes place and through which character is formed. Turning on the television set can turn off the proccss that transforms children into people.”

O f course, families today still do spccial things together at tim e* go camping in the summer, go to the zoo on a nice Sunday, take various trips and expeditions. But tker>rdinary daily life together is diminished — that sitting around at the dinner table, that spontaneous taking up of an activity, those little games invented by children on the spur o f the moment when there is nothing else to do, the scribbling, the chatting, the quarreling, all the things that form the fabric of a family, that define a childhood.

Instead, the children have their regular schedule o f television programs and bedtime, and the parents have their peaceful dinner together. But surely the needs of adults are being better met than the needs o f children, who are effectively shunted away and rendered untroublesome.

If the family does not accumulate its backlog o f shared experiences, shared everyday experiences that occur and recur and change and i lien it is not likely to survive as anything other than a caretaking institution.

IV. READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW. (1PTS)

Television’s contribution to family life in the United States has been an equivocal one. For while it has, indeed, kept the members of the family from dispersing, it has not served to bring them together. By dominating the time families spend together, it destroys the special quality that distinguishes one f another, a quality that depends to a great extent on what a family does, what special rituals, game jokes, familiar songs, and shared activities it accumulates.

“Like the sorcerer of old,” writes Urie Bronfenbrenner, “the television set casts its magic^ n a speech and action, turning the living into silent statues so long as the enchantment lasts. The primary danger of the television screen lies not so much in the behavior it produces — although there is danger there — as in the behavior it prevents : the talks, games, the family festivities, and arguments through which much of the child’s learning takes place and through which character is formed. Turning on the telansion set can turn off the process that transforms children into people.”

O f course, families today still do special things together at times: go camping in the summer, go to the zoo on a nice Sunday, take various trips and expeditions. But the ordinary daily life together is diminished — that sitting around at the dinner table, that spontaneous taking up of an ac tiv it^ ^ Jj^ e little games invented by children on the spur o f the moment when there is nothing else to do, the scribbling, the chatting, the quarreling, all the things that form the fabric of a family, that define a childhood.

Instead, the children have their regular schedule o f television programs and bedtime, and the parents have their peaceful dinner together. But surely the needs of adults are being better met than the needs of children, who arc effectively shunted away and rendered untroublcsomc.

Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils have to repeat tasks, which they have already done at school.

In Holland, teachers allow pupils to stay at school to do t h ^ r j a T h e children are free to help one another. Similar arrangements also exist in some British schools.

Most people agree that homework is unfair. A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable room is in a much better position than a pupil who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all in their children’s homework. however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher suggests suitable tasks for o do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children.

you're a loner, you're probably a member of many different groups. Some are long lasting, like your family, while others, such as a football crowd, are temporary. Every group functions in different ways but there are still some common psychological features to any group.

(51)_________ Being part of a group changes the way you behave. The presence of others has a generally arousing effect on the nervous system. This is natural-you don't know what they will do. They may move about, speak to you, or even attack you, and your brain has to pay attention to all these messages. Having others around is just distracting. It divides your attention, so you can't focus on the task in hand.

TIẾNGANH CHUYÊN VÀO 10 trang 3

(52 ) ________ But when it comes to complex tasks, the prospect of not being evaluated may free you from anxiety, so encouraging you to perform better. To test this, psychologists asked volunteers to carry out a complex computer task in separate rooms. Some were told performance would be evaluated individually - causing performance anxiety - while others were told the results would be averaged with the rest of the group. As expected, the second group did better than the first.

(53 ) ________ The problem becomes even worse when individuals are disguised with war paint or uniforms. Analysis shows that the m ore people there are in a mob, the greater the antisocial behaviour. B eing 'submerged' w ithin a group does have m any negative connotations but it's not always a bad thing. Instead o f thinking about a row dy mob, think o f relaxing, dancing and enjoying yourself at a party w here you are also ju st a part o f the crowd.

(54 ) ________ But surprisingly, research has shown that the use o f this technique by groups isn't that effective in either the num ber or quality o f ideas generated. You get better results if you set people to w ork individually on a problem. W e also tend to assume that decisions made by groups are better than those m ade by individuals, which is w hy we form committees.

(55 ) ________ But any group can get a decision badly w rong because their thought processes can go awry. This is a process psychologists call 'groupthink'. A close-knit group o f advisers isolated from argum ent and criticism can grow to believe they can do no wrong. The group then becomes more im portant than the individuals who are part o f it. Further, a leadership style w hich concentrates on the group rather than the individual can contribute to this.

For a group and its behaviour are shaped by who is in charge and the roles the other m em bers play. A good front m an or w om an is persuasive, not directive, com m unicates and speaks clearly, listens well and appeals to group m em bers' em otions and feelings as w ell as th o u g h t^ jy /id e a s . M any, but not all, leaders show dominance in the group. But the dominant person in the group doesn't always make the best leader, and it isn't necessarily true that having the smartest people always makes for the m ost successful group.

A.

This lack o f individual accountability may lead to people letting go o f their inhibitions - a process known as ’deindividuation'. Sometimes this is dangerous, releasing violent and impulsive behaviours that individuals would never dream o f indulging in alone.

B.

They have a need for power, characterised by talking a lot, wanting to be listened to and to make decisions. In a group it can be easy to spot the dominant people. They make eye contact, point and even touch people but don't encourage return gestures. Such behaviour studies have been key in shaping business organisation.

C. For example, in general, humans are social animals, that's why we get together in groups in the first place. Important elements o f our individual identity come from being part o f a group. Most people enjoy being in a group - it's a way o f forming emotionally satisfying relationships.

D. But ‘itithas hasto i be a carefully selected team, not a randomly generated group, i f creative decisions are to b^npade. In fact, theory on team building has shown that it is better if people work in small teams o f tentary pairs. Big teams don 't get anything done, even though people like them. ♦

S3, how does all this stimulation affect achievement? It has been argued that people do better on iimple well-rehearsed activities when they're with others than when they are alone. Also, i f their individual efforts within the group are not being monitored, there's a tendency to relax and merge into the crowd.

F. Another positive feature o f groups is that they generate ideas and opinions, and use these to make decisions. That's why the modern trend in teaching is for students to work in small groups to prepare presentations and why brainstorming is so popular in the work context.

Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. In general, allow double your normal stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance in snow, and even more on ice.

RAIN MAKING When it rains, it does not always pour. During a typical stonn, a (41. COMPARE) amount of the lock-up moisture in each cloud reaches the ground as rain. So the idea th^ intervention - a rain dance, perhaps - might encourage the sky to give up a little (42. A D D ) ______ water has been around since prehistoric times. More recently, would-be rain makers have used a more direct procedure - that of throwing (43. V A R Y ) ______ chemicals out of aero-planes in an ^fqj^to wring more rain from the clouds, a practice known as “cloud seeding”.

Yet such techniques, which were first developed in the 1940s, are (44. NOTORIETY)______ difficult to evaluate. It is hard to (45. c e r t a i n ) ________ , for example, how much rain woulcNfcave fallen anyway.

PART III:READING COMPREHENSION (25 points) Questions 51-55: You are going to read a magazine article on space travel. Five paragraphs have been removed from the article. Choose from the paragraphs A-G the one which fits each gap (51- 55).

There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0).

Write your answers into the box CHEAP ACCESS TO SPACE Charles Conrad went to the moomwith Apollo 12 and circled the Earth in Skylab. But from now on, he is going to aim high for himself. His company, Universal Space Lines, hopes to produce a more economic rocket that will be able to go^in space again and again.

(0)____ G_____ ^ NASA, the JJ.S, government-owned space program, plans to develop such a rocket. However, the immediate priority is missions to Mars, which will require different technology. So it is more likely that people outside the NASA program will develop re-useable rocket design. Rick Tumlinson runs an independent organization called the Space Frontier Foundation and firmly believes that it is time for business to get involved.

(51 ) ________ So Tumlinson is also in business to prove a point. Space is our destiny, he says, so why not get on with it a bit more eagerly? To this end, the SFF is holding a conference in Los Angeles shortly, to be called Space: Open for Business.

(52 ) ________ Another company, Kistler Aerospace, has similar plans; “Our goal is to become a delivery service to low Earth orbit that will radically re-align the economics of doing business in space. Satellites will be our parcels: our vehicles will be operated in repeated flights with air freights efficiency.”

(53) _________ _ Their own view is that it is impossible for NASA, which is government-owned, to offer an “open frontier”.

This is not a matter of budgets or schedules, but of fundamental purpose and design. NASA is “elitist and Page 3/6

exclusive”, whereas foe SFF believes in opportinities for everyone “a future of endlessly expanding new choices”.

(54 ) ________ Of course, the ex-astronaut and businessman Charles Conrad agrees. “I’m trying to get affordable space transportation up and operative so that everybody can enjoy space. And by the way, the Japanese are hard at work building a space hotel.”

(55 ) ________ If he is right, mass space travel will have arrived by 2050 and space tourism will have become a viable industry. More importantly, the human race will have made serious progress in crossing that final frontier.

A.

Companies will always be looking for profit. For this reason, the SFF is not in favor o f, missions to Mars, claiming that there’s nothing in it for investors. At the same time, they that these missions could bring scientific benefits.

B. He sees the NASA program as a bit o f a dinosaur. “25 years after the Wright Brothers, people could buy a commercial plane ticket... but many years after landing on the moon, we sat around watching old astronauts on TV talking about the good old days. ” C. In 1997, the SFF ran a survey on the Internet, called “Cheap Access to Space”, where it asked American taxpayers for their views on the U.S space program and on what American’s future priorities should be in space transportation.

D.

U.S government officials don ’t see the future for space tourism. Here again, private companies may well prove them wrong. David Ashford, director o f Bristol Spaceplanes Limited, once said that space tourism would begin ten years after people stopped laughingfit the concept. Recently, he added this striking comment: “people have stopped laughing. ”

E.

Charles Conrad is due to speak there. But his company is in fact only one o f several that already have blueprints for getting into space and back cheaply. Rotary is working on something that would be launched like a rocket but return like a helicopter. Pioneer Rocket plane believes there could be a million dollar market in delivering packages from one side o f the planet to the other in an hour.

F.

They would like to see “irreversible human settlement” in space as soon as possible and maintain that this will only happen through free enterprise. “Building buildings and driving trucks is not what astronauts should be doing; tlMi&what the private sector does. ”

G

“Cheap” is an im pfil^iQ pk'd in space technology nowadays and re-useable rockets will be a key way o f controlling cqsfk^They will deliver things to orbits, bring stuff back to Earth and then go up again, perhaps taps with machinery i for a space factory, or even carrying tourists.

If someone says you’re totally (61) ______ talent, ignore them. That’s negative criticism. If, however, someone advises you to revise your work and gives you good reasons for doing so, you should (62)______ their suggestions carefully. There are many film stars who were once out of work.

Water falls from the air as (67)______ or snow. Rain and snow eventually find their way back to the oceans. Nature’s recycling program for water is (68)______ the water cycle.

The water cycle has four stages: storage, evaporation, precipitation, and runoff. Water on Earth gets stored in oceans, lakes, rivers, ice, and even underground. Water goes from storage into the atmosphere by a (69)______ called evaporation. When water evaporates, it changes from a liquid (70)______ a gas, called water vapor. Water vapor goes up into (71) ______ atmosphere. Water returns to the Earth as precipitation in rain or snow by changing into drops of water when the air (72)______ cold enough.

Clouds are collections of water droplets. MosUprecipitation (73)______ into the oceans and goes right back into storage.

Water that falls on land always flows from (74)_______ places to lower ones. This flow is called runoff. Water from land flows into streams. Streams join (75) to make rivers and eventually the water flows into storage in the oceans. Then the water cycle starts all over again.

Write your answer (A, B, C or D) in the box provided. (10 pts.)

EXOTIC AND ENDANGERED SPECIES When you hear somefciebubbling enthusiastically about an exotic species, you can safely bet the speaker isn’t an ecologist. This is a name for a resident of an established community that was deliberately or accidentally moved from its home range and became established elsewhere. Unlike most imports, which can’t take hold outside their hol||r range, an exotic species permanently insinuates itself into a new community.

Sometimes the additions are harmless and even have beneficial effects. More often, they make native species endangered species, which by definition are extremely vulnerable to extinction. Of all species on the rare or endangered lists or that recently became extinct, close to 70 percent owe their precarious existence or demise f^ Iis p la te m e n t by exotic species. Two examples are included here to illustrate the problem.

During the 1800s, British settlers in Australia just couldn’t bond with the koalas and kangaroos, so they started kto^import familiar animals from their homeland. In 1859, in what would be the start of a wholesale disaster, a northern Australian landowner imported and then released two dozen wild European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Good food and good sport hunting - that was the idea. An ideal rabbit habitat with no natural predators was the reality.

Six years later, the landowner had killed 20,000 rabbits and was besieged by 20,000 more. The rabbits displaced livestock, even kangaroos. Now Australia has 200 to 300 million hippityhopping through the southern 3

half of the country. They overgraze perennial grasses in good times and strip bark from shrubs and trees during droughts. You know where they’ve been; they transform grasslands and shrub lands into eroded deserts. They have been shot and poisoned. Their warrens have been plowed under, fumigated, and dynamited. Even when all-out assaults reduced their population size by 70 percent, the rapidly reproducing imports made a comeback in less than a year. Did the construction of a 2,000-mile-long fence protect Western Australia? No. Rabbits made it to the other side before workers finished the fence.

In 1951, government works introduced a myxoma virus by way of mildly infected South American rabbits, its normal hosts. This virus causes myxomatosis. The disease has mild effects on South American rabbits that coevolved with the virus but nearly always had lethal effects on O. cuniculus. Biting insects, mainly mosquitoes and flenses against the novel virus, the European rabbits dies in droves. But, as you mieh\expect, natural selection has since favored rapid growth of populations of O. cuniculus resistant to the virusA ^ In 1991, on an uninhabited island in Spencer Gulf, Australian researchers released p o p u la tio n of rabbits that they had injected with a calcivirus. The rabbits died quickly and relatively painlessly from blood clots in their lungs, hearts, and kidneys. In 1995, the test virus escaped from the island, possibly on insect vectors. It has been killing 80 to 95 percent of the adult rabbits in Australian regions. At this w ritin g researches are now questioning whether the calcivirus should be used on a widespread scale, whether it can jump boundaries and infect animals other than rabbits (such as humans), and what the long - term consequences will be.

A vine called kudzu (Puerarialobata) was deliberately imported from Japan to the United States, where it faces no serious threats from herbivores, pathogens, or competitor p l^ jt s jL temperate parts of Asia, it is a well - behaved legume with a well - developed root system. It seemed ljt>s a good idea to use it to control erosion on hills and highway embankments in the southeastern United States. (A) With nothing to stop it, though, kudzu’s shoots grew a third of a meter per day. Vines now blanketetream banks, trees, telephone poles, houses, and almost everything else in their path. Attempts to dig up or bum kudzu are futile. Grazing goats and herbicides help, but goats eat other plants, to, and herbicides contaminate water supplies. (B) Kudzu could reach the Great Lakes by the year 2040.

On the bright side, a Japanese firm is constructing a kudzu farm and processing plant in Alabama. The idea is to export the starch to Asia, where the demana currently exceeds the supply. (C) Also, kudzu may eventually help reduce logging operations. (D) At the Georgia Institute of Technology, researchers report that kudzu might become an alternative source for paper.

An import that failSj^thrivc outside of its home range 2. The world itself in tk ejm ssa ze refers to A. most imports B. new community C. home range D. exotic species 3.

VỈI, Đọc đoạn văn và chọn đáp án đúng hoàn thành thông tin ở dưới To do well at school, college or university you usually need to do well in exams. All the students hate exams’ may be a generalization, but it is fairly true one. Certainly, all of the students I’ve known disliked doing exams.

PART C. READING I. Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, Cor D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

My village was never a big village, nor was it particularly successful or well-known. It was a place where simple people worked on their land, tending citrus groves and running poultry farms.

The most exotic plantation grew^jj^ados, and a palm tree nursery was something of an attraction.

The village was established by a group of Greek immigrants in 1937 in what was then known as British-controlled Palestme. When we first moved here, one could still hear some Greek in the street, the local store solcNoriginal Greek delicacies and from time to time we were invited to sit on a neighbor's porch and share some ouzo at the end of a working day.

In the last few years, my village has changed dramatically. Very few people work in agriculture now; they can no longer support their families growing oranges and chicken. As a result, they must find their income outside the village and rent out their land or sell their little family farms altogether. Some of the land is still used for agriculture, but no longer for the family farms. Now it is the agriculture of luxuries.

What was true about the writer's village?

A. It was a big village.

B. It was successful.

C. It was famous.

D. It was established by the Greek.

Câu 2. According to the passage, what did the people in the village NOT do?

A. Worked on their land.

B. Tended citrus groves.

C. Raised animals on the farms.

D. Grew avocados.

Câu 3. The founders of the village were immigrants from________ .

A. Palestine B. Greece C. Britain D. family farms Câu 4. What can best describe the change of the village recently?

A. The change is very fast.

B. The change is very slow.

Trang 2 /3

c. The change is normal.

D. There is not much change.

Câu 5. How do the villagers earn their living now?

A. They grow oranges and chicken.

B. They run family farms. c. They work in the inside villages.

D. They hire out their land or sell their farms.

II. Complete the passage by filling in each blank with ONE suitable word.

Jeans are very popular with young people all (06]_______the world. Some people say that jeans are the "uniform" of youth, but they haven’t always been popular. The story of jeans started almost two hundred years ago. People in Genoa, Italy made pants. The cloth made in Genoa was (07)_______"jeanos". The pants were called "jeans”.

PART C: READING (3.0 points) I. Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Icebergs are among nature’s most spectacular creations^nd yet most people have never seen one. A vague air of mystery envelops them. They come into being somewhere-in faraway, frigid waters, amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence, which in most cases no one hears or sees.

They exist only a short time and then slowly waste away just unnoticed.

Objects of sheerest beauty, they have been callea. Appearing in an endless variety of shapes they may be dazzlingly white, or they may be glassy blue, green or purple, tinted faintly or in darker hues. They are graceful, stately, inspiring in calm, sunlit seas. But they are also called frightening and dangerous, and that they are, in the night, in the fog, and in storms. Even in clear weather one is wise to stay a safe distance away from them. Most of their bulk is hidden below the water, so their underwater parts may extend out far beyond the visible top. Also, they may roll over unexpectedly, churning the waters around them.

Icebergs are parts of glaciers that break off, drift into the water, float about awhile, and finally melt. Icebergs afloat today are made of snowflakes that have fallen over long ages of time.

They embody snow s^t^^^jfted down hundreds, or many thousands, or in some cases maybe a million years ago. Tn^ftiows fell in the polar region and on cold mountains, where they melted only a little or not at all, and so collected to great depths over the years and centuries.

As each year's snow accumulation lay on the surface, evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes slowly to lose their feathery points and become tiny grains of ice. When new snow fell on top of the old, it too turned to icy grains. So blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer upon layer and were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper layers compressed the lower ones. With time and pressure from above, the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals, and eventually the deeper crystals merged into a solid mass of ice.
