VI. READING COMPREHENSION (10pts)
Read the following passages and choose the correct answer to each question. READING 1.
As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The
frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities.
Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon
credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility.
Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society.
The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century
coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to
age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened.
Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling
extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger
industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by
public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies.
Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of
specific populations. Immigrant women were once such population. Schools tried to educate young
women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many
educators considered appropriate for women was the home.
Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education
gave homemaking a new definition. In pre-industrial economies, homemaking had meant the
production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing
activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United
States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal
American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be
consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their
own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent
reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.
61 The paragraph preceding the passage probably discusses _____.
A. the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the 19th century

70. The word “others” in paragraph 4 means_______. A. other children B. other homes C. other women D. other employees
Đáp án và thang điểm câu 70: B/0,5 READING 2 :
Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes their friends and regard it as a slur on
their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the adolescents see
what they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some spiteful remark about
the friends‟ parents. Such a loss of dignity and descent into childish behavior on the parts of the adults
deeply shocks the adolescents, and makes them resolve that in future they will not talk to their parents
about the places or the places they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining that the
child is so secretive and never tells them anything, seldom realizing that they have brought this on themselves.
Disillusionment with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as
individuals, is to some degree inevitable. Most children have such a high idea of their parents, unless 8
the parents themselves have been unsatisfactory, that it can hardly hope to stand up to a realistic
evaluation. Parents would be very greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much
belief their children usually have in their character and infallibility, and how much this faith means to
a child. If parents were prepared for this adolescent reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the
child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment, they
would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by resenting and resisting it.
The adolescent, with his patients for sincerity, always respects a parent who admits that he is wrong,
or ignorant, or even that he had been unfair, or untrusted. What the child cannot forgive is the parents‟
refusal to admit these charges if the child know them to be true.
