It is said that George Washington was one of the first to realize how important the building of
canals would be to the nation’s development. In fact, before he became president, he headed the first
company in the United States to build a canal that was to connect the Ohio and Potomac Rivers. It was
never completed, but it showed the nation the feasibility of canals. As the country expanded westward,
settlers in western New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio needed a means to ship goods. Canals linking
natural waterways seemed to offer an effective solution
In 1791, engineers commissioned by the state of New York investigated the possibility of a canal
between Albany on the Hudson River and Buffalo on Lake Erie, which would link the Great Lakes
area with the Atlantic seacoast. It would avoid the mountains that served as a barrier to canals form the Delaware and Potomac rivers. Trang 3/6 Mã đề thi 357
The first attempt to dig the canal, to be called the Erie Canal, was made by private companies but
only a comparatively small portion was built before the project was halted for lack of funds. The cost
of the project was an estimated five million dollars, an enormous amount for those days. That was
some on-again-off-again federal funding, but the War of 1812 put an end to this. In 1817, DeWitt
Clinton was elected governor of New York and persuaded the state to finance and build the Canal. It
was completed in 1825, costing two million dollars more than expected.
The canal rapidly lived up to its sponsor’s faith, quickly paying for itself through tolls. It was fat
more economical than any other form of transportation at the time. It permitted trade between the
Great Lake region and East Coast, robbing the Mississippi River of much of its traffic. It allowed New
York to supplant Boston, Philadelphia, and other eastern cities as the chief center of both domestic and
foreign commerce. Cities sprang up along the Canal. It also contributed in a number of ways to the
North’s victory over the South in the Civil War.
An expansion of the canal was planned in 1849. Increased traffic would undoubtedly have
warranted its construction had it not been for the development of the railroads.
Question 53: The completion of the Erie Canal was financed by _____. A. New York B. private companies
C. the federal government D. DeWitt Clinton
Question 54: According to the passage, the Erie Canal connected the _______.
A. Potomac and Ohio Rivers
B. Hudson River and Lake Erie

Question 55: The phrase “on-again-off-again” in paragraph 3 could be replaced by which of the
following with the least change in meaning? A. intermittent B. unsolicited C. ineffectual D. gradual
Question 56: The actual cost of building the Erie Canal was ______. A. five million dollars
B. less than had been estimated
C. seven million dollars
D. more than could be repaid
Question 57: Which of the following is NOT given as an effect of the building of the Erie Canal in the fourth paragraph?
A. It allowed the East Coast to trade with the Great Lakes area.
B. It took water traffic away from the Mississippi River.
C. It helped determine the outcome of the Civil War.
D. It established Boston and Philadelphia as the most important centers of trade.
Question 58: Why does the author most likely mention George Washington in the first paragraph?
A. He was president at the time the Erie Canal was built.
B. He was involved in pioneering efforts to build canals.
C. He successfully opened the first canal in the United States.
D. He commissioned engineers to study the possibility of building the Erie Canal.

B. They were seriously underdeveloped.
C. They had begun to compete with the Erie canal for traffic.
D. They were weakened by the expansion of the Canal.
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.
Henry is the undisputed star of Dronfield School near Sheffield. Whatever the achievements of
other members of the comprehensive school, it is Henry, with his soulful eyes and glossy hair, who has
hogged the limelight, appearing on television in Britain and abroad. Yet despite all the public
adulation, Henry stirs up no envy or resentment among the 2000 students – in fact, they all adore him.
The dog, who first arrived six months ago, is a super dog, who has improved students’ behaviour and
encouraged more students to focus on their academic achievement.
Andrew Wainwright, a student at Dronfield School, says there is something magical and calming
about being able to interact with Henry during his time at the school’s catch-up classes, and that if he
falls behind, that opportunity will be denied. Even doubting staff have finally been won round. Perhaps Trang 4/6 Mã đề thi 357
that is because Henry, who lies on the floor during staff meetings, has also had a calming effect on them.
It was Andrew’s teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposed
buying a school dog. “Julie and I were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively
affect children’s conduct,” says Brown. “We did some research and discovered that the presence of
pets has been shown to be therapeutic. A number of studies have shown that animals improve recovery
after surgery or illness and have a calming influence on people in a lot of settings. Some of my kids
can be a handful and some of the children Julie counsels have terrible problems.”
Could the school dog become a craze? Other schools such as the Mulberry Bush, a primary school
for children with behavioural problems, have stepped forward to point out they already have one.
Rosie Johnston, a Mulberry staff member has been bringing her golden retriever, Muskoka, into school
for three years. Apart from being a calming influence, Muskoka even plays his part in literacy lessons.
Children at the school can be too shy to read to adults so they read to Muskoka. “Their anxiety about
mispronouncing something or getting the words in the wrong order is reduced when they read to him,” says Johnston.
Psychologist Dr Deborah Wells from Queen’s University Belfast specialises in animal-human
interaction. She believes that the underlying key to the Henry effect is that dogs offer unconditional
love and that cheers up adults and children and helps with self-esteem. But traditionalist Chris
Woodhead, the former chief inspector of schools says, “I don’t see why a teacher cannot create a
positive learning environment through the subject they teach and their personality. Dogs strike me as a
bit of a publicity stunt. It’s the kind of sentimental story journalists love.” Despite this sentiment,
Henry remains as popular as ever.
Question 61: According to paragraph 4, which of the following is one of the roles played by Muskoka at the Mulberry Bush?
A. Encouraging a more proactive approach to teaching literacy
B. Helping its students to reduce their fear of making mistakes
C. Minimising the number of words mispronounced by its students
D. Relieving its teaching staff of unnecessary workload
Question 62: Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Having School Dogs: Pros and Cons.
B. School Dogs: Useful Classroom Assistants.
C. Keeping School Dogs – a Prevalent Trend.
D. Henry – a Super Dog in Dronfield School.
Question 63: The phrase “a handful” in paragraph 3 is probably descriptive of a child who is ______. A. difficult to control B. inclined to disagree
C. reluctant to explore.
D. impossible to understand.
Question 64: Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 3 as a potential impact of keeping a
pet?A. Long-term chances in conduct.
B. Better recovery from illness.
C. A greater desire to influence others.
D. A stronger tendency to misbehave.
Question 65: Which of the following best summarises Chris Woodhead’s viewpoint in paragraph 5?
A. Students and dogs are inseparable companions in the classroom setting.
B. Schools have dogs just to attract media attention.
C. Dogs are capable of enlivening classroom atmosphere.
D. Teachers underestimate the role of dogs in literacy lessons.
Question 66: It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. Wendy Brown and Julie Smart are dedicated animal rights activists who wish to get their
message across to young people.
B. Rosie Johnston is more experienced than Wendy Brown in working with animals.
C. Administrators at Dronfield School are skeptical as to whether Henry’s companion will benefit their students.
D. Interaction with Henry is used to boost students’ learning motivation at Dronfield School.
