SECTION 3. READING COMPREHENSION
Choose the word (A, B, C or D) that best fits the numbered space in the following passage.
Amparo Lasén, the Spanish sociologist who conducted the study found that Londoners use
their cell phones the least in public. If they are with others, they prefer to let calls be answered by
voice mail (a recorded message) and then they check for messages later. If the English do answer a
call on the street, they seem to dislike talking with others around. They tend to move away from a
crowded sidewalk and seek out a place (54) ____________ they cannot be heard, such as the far side
of a subway entrance or even the edge of a street. They seem to feel that the danger of the traffic is
(55) ___________ to the risk of having their conversation be overheard. This has led to a behavior
that Lasén has called "clustering." At a busy time of day on the streets of London, you may find
small crowds of cell phone users grouped together, each one talking into a cell phone. Even when it
is raining—as it is often in London—people still prefer not to hold their conversations where others
could hear. They talk (56) _____________ their umbrellas or in a doorway.
In Paris, however, there are stricter rules about how and when to use cell phones. It is not

are generally very disapproving of phone use in public and are quick to express that disapproval, even to strangers.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions
People have defined ‘skyscraper’ in a number of ways over the years: an ornament on the top
of a building, a high-flying bird, a very tall man and a sail at the top of a mast. At the end of the
nineteenth century, the word was used to refer to buildings of ten storeys or more. Later, a lift was
used to take people up to the higher floors, as in the most famous skyscraper, the Empire State
Building. During the Middle Ages, the people
who lived in the cities of northern Europe began to Trang 4/8-Mã đề 468
build great cathedrals. Tall spires were added to make these churches higher and bring them closer to heaven.
In the nineteenth century, as cities grew more crowded with people looking for work, the
value of land rocketed. New businesses were starting and in order to make room for offices on a
small plot of land, it was necessary to build higher. But the problem was that to put up a stone
building of such height, the walls on the ground floor would have to be more than two metres thick
to hold the weight of the building. So another material was required to make skyscrapers possible.
About this time, three buildings were put up that used iron or steel to support great weight
with safety. They were the Crystal Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Brooklyn
Bridge in New York. From then on, architects started to experiment with buildings that had steel
frames and they have made huge progress. Today, the tallest skyscrapers are a hundred storeys or
more, compared to the first ten -storey skyscrapers, which seem tiny. (Adapted from
by Bessie Dendrinos & Bessie Mitsikopoulou)

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions
American movies create myths about college life in the United States. These stories are
entertaining, but they are not true. You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand what
college is really like. Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and
socialize more than they study.
Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library. Instead, movies
show them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties. While it is true that
American students have the freedom to participate in activities, they also have academic
responsibilities. In order to succeed, they have to attend classes and study hard. Another movie myth
is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity. In fact, there is a wide variety of
nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, art, and theater
programs. This variety allows students to choose what interests them. Even more important, after
graduation, students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few extracurricular activities.
Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education. If only this were true! While
it is true that some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate
incomes. Up to 80% of them get some type of financial aid. Students from middle and lower-income
families often work part-time throughout their college years. There is one thing that many college
students have in common, but it is not something you will see in the movies. They have parents who
think higher education is a priority, a necessary and important part of their children's lives.
Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super
athletic, super intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc. Movies use these stereotypes, along
with other myths of romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include
these elements. Of course, real college students are not like movie characters at all. So the next time Trang 5/8-Mã đề 468
you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies. Look at some college websites or brochures instead.
Take a walk around your local college campus. Visit a few classes. True, you may not be able
to see the same people or exciting action you will see in the movies, but you can be sure that there
are plenty of academic adventures going on all around you!
64. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. You should see college movies to understand college life.
B. Movies about college life are similar to life and fun to watch.
C. American students do not like to watch Hollywood movies.
D. American colleges in the movies are not like those in reality.

responsibilities in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “__________”. A. learning duties B. training skills C. caring professions D. teaching methods
66. The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to ___________. A. résumés B. activities C. students D. employers
67. The word “moderate” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to “____________”. A. unlimited B. not high C. not steady D. sensible
68. American parents believe in ____________.
A. the extracurricular activities that help ensure their children’s jobs
B. the necessity of higher education in their children's lives
C. how movie-makers describe American college life
D. the quality of their children's college lives
69. Many American students have to work part-time throughout their college years because ______.
A. they can earn money for their expenses
B. they want to gain experience C. their parents force them to
D. they are not allowed to work full-time
70. Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Extracurricular Activities and Job Opportunities
B. Hollywood Movies: The Best About College Life
C. American College Life and the Movies
