ĐỀ THI GỒM 80 CÂU ( TỪ QUESTION 1 ĐẾN QUESTION 80)
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 from 1 to 5
In many old cities in Europe, there are narrow roads with many shops lying together along the two sides. These
commercial places are not so modern and convenient as those called shopping centers in modern cities, especially III
the suburbs of the big cities in the United States.
Shopping centers have developed rapidly because of the shift of the population to the suburbs, the growing use of
and dependence upon the automobiles and the heavy traffic in downtown areas. A shopping centre is a large group of
stores facing a huge central mall which may be covered, heated and air-conditioned. A shopping centre is also
surrounded by a parking area with space for thousands of cars.
We can buy all kinds of food and get anything we need in a shopping centre. Unlike a supermarket where groceries
are chiefly sold, a shopping centre provides us with all services besides food. We can get our hair cut, eyes tested,
clothes washed, we can book our tickets for a world tour and even enroll in special classes. Shopping centers are
therefore, very convenient for customers, but they lack "the sense of closeness" as felt in older commercial centers.

answer to each of the questions from 16 to 25

Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech.
A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing is secondary to language. Human
beings have been writing( as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years; but they
have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings.
When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly. Even today,
there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn
to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a
normal human being can not be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn
to write; in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today
many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the
rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly.
