PART V. READING COMPREHENSION (20 PTS)
Read the following passage and choose the best answer. Passage 1
Situated in the central mountains of Alaska, a peak named Denali rises 20,320 feet
above sea level. It is the highest peak in North America and the centre of Denali National
Park. One of America’s greatest wilderness area, the park has had limited access to visitors,
but in spite of this tourism rose from under 6,000 visitors in 1950 to over 546,000 visitors in
1990. The increasing popularity of this park is promoting serious discussions about the future
use of Denali as well as how to preserve wilderness areas in general.
One important issue of land use arises when parts of National Parks are owned by
individuals. In Denali, though most of the land in this vast tract of more than a million acres
is owned by the National Park Service, several thousand acres are still privately owned as
mining tracts. These mining tracts in Denali were once abundant sources of gold, but they
were sources of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead that polluted rivers and streams.
Evironmentalists are successful in getting the government to require mining companies to
submit statements showingthe potential impact of a mining project before they are allowed
to begin mining. Because of this requirement, many individuals closed their mines and some
sold their land to the National Park service. Some land owners, however, are wondering if it is
better to sell their land to the government or keep it for possible future use. Tourism in this
previously remote area is bound to rise, as more roads are buit to provide easier access to the
park. This increase in the number of visitors creates a demand for hotels and other real estate
development. The economic implications of this are of interest to the land owners, but are
dismaying to those interested in preserving the wilderness.
41. What is the primary focus on this passage?
A. controversies over land use in Denali
B. miners selling their property in Denali
C. Alaska building more roads to Denali

The late 1990s was a volatile time for the Internet entrepreneur. There were a large number of
new high-tech and Internet-based businesses being stated up, some based on little more than
dreams. And, nearly any entrepreneur with a high-tech or Internet-based business plan could
receive a large amount of money from investors to develop the business. These businesses
were called “dot-coms” after the last part of their Internet addresses, and that time in business
history has become known as the dot-com era. Most dot-com ventures failed as the
inconsistencies between high-tech dreams and realities clarified, but a handful of
entrepreneurs from that time remain successful today.
Many people look back at the dot-com era with a certain amount of cynicism. Some
charge that there were entrepreneurs who deliberately mislead investors about the potential of
their business plans; that they had the ulterior motive of getting their hands on large amounts
of cash before anything else – a ploy that some say was common in the dot-com era. By 2001,
most of the dot-coms had disappeared and were sarcastically referred to as “do-combs”. By
the time the hype died down, incredible amounts of money had been lost. This is an
unfortunate legacy of the dot-com era.
Why did companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google find success, while so many
others disappeared? There is no concise answer, but one interesting coincidence is that many
of them were started by two or more entrepreneurs working in conjunction with each other. At
Microsoft, Bill Gates and Paul Allen complemented each other; Apple had Steve Jobs and
Steve Wozniak; and we owe Google to the rapport between founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
Besides collaborating with others, today’s entrepreneurs need to be able to think on
their feet because the business situation changes so quickly. Entrepreneurs need to do constant
research to keep track of changing trends. Today’s entrepreneurs need to be hardworking and
tenacious – the easy money of the dot-com era is history. Experimentation and innovation are
critical in a rapidly changing and highly competitive marketplace.
It seems that the mistakes of the dot-com era have shown the world what the high-tech
economy truly is, and what it isn’t. It isn’t a place where anyone with a dream can get rich. It
is, however, a powerful and flexible business environment where people with sound business
ideas and effective business models can work together to produce successful business
innovations, sometimes very successful ones indeed. But, at it has always been true in the
business world, there is no substitute for through planning and hard work.
51. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To expose the negative side of the dot-com era.
B. To explain the history and qualities of a type of entrepreneur.
C. To convince the reader and qualities of a type of entrepreneur.
D. To show how being an entrepreneur is easier today than ever before. Đáp án câu 51: B
52. What is most likely the reason that it was easy to get money from investors in the dot-com era?
A. Investors were mainly Internet entrepreneurs.
B. Investors didn’t expect to get their money back in those days.
C Investors were confused about the potential of high-tech business ideas.
D. Investors knew that any idea would succeed. Đáp án câu 52: C
53. Why do many people look back on the dot-com era with cynicism?
A. Because many companies misled their investors.
B. Because they are jealous of the success of dot-com.
C. Because the level of technology was so much lower than them.
D. Because there were no true entrepreneurs in that era. Đáp án câu 53: A
54. Why did some people probably refer to dot-coms as “dot-combs” by 2001?
A. Because most dot-com companies were short-lived failures.
B. Because dot-com companies started up extremely quickly.
C. Because some dot-com companies became extremely successful.
D. Because many people wished to eliminate dot-com businesses. Đáp án câu 54: A
55. According to the passage, what do Microsoft, Apple, and Google all have in common?
A. They all produce high-quality computers.
B. They are all cynical about dot-coms.
C. They all have a good rapport with each other

56. Which quality of today’s entrepreneurs is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. They need to be able to think on their feet.
B. They need to work more than one company at a time.
C. They need to collaborate with each other.
D. They need to do constant research. Đáp án câu 56: B
57. According to the passage, what have we learn from the dot-com era?
A. That most high-tech and Internet – based business will succeed.

PART III: ERROR IDENTIFICATION (10 points)
There are ten errors in the passage. Find and correct them. The first one has done as an example.
Let us to suppose that you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your
children read any book they wanted to without first checking their content? Would you take
them to see any film without first finding whether it is suitable for them? If your answer of
these questions is yes, then you are either extremely permissive, or just plain irresponsible. If
your answer is not, then you are exercising your right as a parent to protect your children form
what you consider to be desirable influences. In other words, by acting as a censor yourself,
you are admitting that there is a strong case for censorship.
Children need protection and it is the parents’ responsibility to provide it. But what
about adults? Aren’t they old enough to decide that is good for them? The answer is that
many adults are, but don’t make the mistake of thinking that all adults are as yourself.
Censorship is for the good of society as a whole. Highly civilized people might find it
possible to live together without laws of any kind : they would just rely on good sense to
solve their problems. But imagine what chaotic there would be if we live in a society without
laws! Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.
