[Increasing numbers of parents in the US are choosing to teac - Tự Học 365] 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.Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In fact, the U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being home- schooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of home-schooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every year.At one time, there was a theory accounting for home-schooling: it was traditionally used for students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due to their dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students. The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school.Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, home-schooling in the U.S. has become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their children. Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, home- schooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing.

A. viewpoints

D. 1,600,000

Câu 3: The attitude of the author towards home-schooling can be best described as_______

A. unfavorable

Câu 4: More parents teach their children because they completely____ the current educational system.

Câu 5: Many parents stop their children from going to school because it is now too_____ for them.

[Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to - Tự Học 365] Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 43. Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding natural resources. We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production practices. We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the environment. Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abandoned and poorly stored. It represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks into the earth without any control at all.Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an ecosystem. It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability of food up through the food chain. It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff. The health of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water. In addition water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies. When other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination.Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the ground by manmade or natural processes. Depending on the study of rocks of the area, groundwater may rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink deeper into the earth. In many parts of the world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry.Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots. Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals.Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants can also harm animals and humans when they contact the skin. Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air.(Adapted from http://www.grid.unep.ch/waste/download/waste)

[The time when humans crossed the Arctic land bridge from Sib - Tự Học 365] Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from. The time when humans crossed the Arctic land bridge from Siberia to Alaska seems remote to us today, but actually represents a late stage in prehistory of humans, an era when polished stone implements and bows and arrows were already being used and dogs had already been domesticated.When these early migrants arrived in North America, they found woods and plains dominated by three types of American mammoths. Those elephants were distinguished from today’s elephants mainly by their thick, shaggy coats and their huge, upward-curving tusks. They had arrived on the continent hundreds of thousands of years before their human followers. The woolly mammoth in the North, the Columbian mammoth in middle North America, and the imperial mammoth of the South together with their distant cousins the mastodons, dominated the land. Here, as in the Old World, there is evidence that humans hunted these elephants, as shown by numerous spear points found with mammoth remains.Then, at the end of the Ice Age, when the last glaciers had retreated, there was a relatively sudden and widespread extinction of elephants. In the New World, both mammoths and mastodons disappeared. In the Old World, only Indian and African elephants survived.Why did the huge, seemingly successful mammoths disappear? Were humans connected with their extinction? Perhaps, but at the time, although they were hunters, humans were still widely scattered and not very numerous. It is difficult to see how they could have prevailed over the mammoth to such an extent.

Câu 1: With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned?

A. Techniques used to hunt mammoths.

B. Migration from Siberia Alaska.

C. The prehistory of humans.

D. The relationship between man and mammoth in the New World.

Câu 2: The word “implements” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. carvings

B. ornaments

C. houses

D. tools

Câu 3: The phrase “these early migrants” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.

A. humans

B. dogs

C. mammoths

D. mastodons

Câu 4: Where were the imperial mammoths the dominant type of mammoth?

A. Alaska

B. the central portion of North America

C. the southern part of North America

D. South America

Câu 5: It can be inferred that when humans crossed into the New World, they _______

A. had previously hunted mammoths in Siberia.

B. had never seen mammoths before.

C. brought mammoths with them from the Old World.

D. soon learned to use dogs to hunt mammoths.

Câu 6: The passage supports which of the following conclusions about mammoths?

A. Competition with mastodons caused them to become extinct.

B. Humans hunted them to extinction.

C. The cause of their extinction is not definitely known.

D. The freezing temperatures of the Ice Age destroyed their food supply.

A. They were relatively few in number.

B. They were concentrated in a small area.

C. They knew how to use bows and arrows.

D. They were skilled hunters.

Câu 8: Which of the following types of the elephants does the author discuss in the most detail in the passage?

A. the Indian elephant

[ Every day millions of shoppers hit the stores in - Tự Học 365] 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 questions from 29 to 36. Every day, millions of shoppers hit the stores in full force - both online and on foot - searching frantically for the perfect gift. Last year, Americans spent over $30 billion at retail stores in the month of December alone. Aside from purchasing holiday gifts, most people regularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year, including weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and baby showers. This frequent experience of gift-giving can engender ambivalent feelings in gift-givers. Many relish the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds with one’s closest peers. At the same time, many dread the thought of buying gifts; they worry that their purchases will disappoint rather than delight the intended recipients. Anthropologists describe gift-giving as a positive social process, serving various political, religious, and psychological functions. Economists, however, offer a less favorable view. According to Waldfogel (1993), gift-giving represents an objective waste of resources. People buy gifts that recipients would not choose to buy on their own, or at least not spend as much money to purchase (a phenomenon referred to as ‘‘the deadweight loss of Christmas”). To wit, givers are likely to spend $100 to purchase a gift that receivers would spend only 80 USD to buy themselves. This ‘‘deadweight loss” suggests that gift-givers are not very good at predicting what gifts others will appreciate. That in itself is not surprising to social psychologists. Research has found that people often struggle to take account of others’ perspectives - their insights are subject to egocentrism, social projection, and multiple attribution errors. What is surprising is that gift-givers have considerable experience acting as both gift-givers and gift-recipients, but nevertheless tend to overspend each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift. In the present research, we propose a unique psychological explanation for this - that is, that gift-givers equate how much they spend with how much recipients will appreciate the gift (the more expensive the gift, the stronger a gift-recipient’s feelings of appreciation). Although a link between gift price and feelings of appreciation might seem intuitive to gift-givers, such an assumption may be unfounded. Indeed, we propose that gift-recipients will be less inclined to base their feelings of appreciation on the magnitude of a gift than givers assume. Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift-recipients’ feelings of appreciation? Perhaps givers believe that bigger (that is, more expensive) gifts convey stronger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration. According to Camerer (1988) and others, gift-giving represents a symbolic ritual, whereby gift-givers attempt to signal their positive attitudes toward the intended recipient and their willingness to invest resources in a future relationship. In this sense, gift-givers may be motivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send a “stronger signal” to their intended recipient. As for gift‑recipients, they may not construe smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.

Câu 1: What is the main idea discussed in the passage?

A. Gift-giving, despite its uneconomical downsides, cultivates a positive social process.

B. Gifts can serve as implicit signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.

C. Gift-giving may have certain drawbacks alongside its positive qualities.

D. Gift-recipients are widely acknowledged as considerably experienced in gift-giving.

Câu 2: In paragraph 1, the word “ambivalent” is closest in meaning to _____.

A. unrealistic

B. conflicted

C. apprehensive

D. supportive

Câu 3: The author indicates that people value gift-giving because they feel it _______.

A. functions as a form of self-expression

B. is an inexpensive way to show appreciation

C. requires the gift-recipient to reciprocate

D. can serve to strengthen a relationship

Câu 4: The word “this” in paragraph 3 refers to gift-givers’ ________.

A. struggling

B. overspending

C. buying meaningful gifts

D. having considerable experience

Câu 5: The passage indicates that the assumption made by gift-givers in paragraph 3 may be ______.

A. transport

B. counteract
