certain skills. Researchers claim that this is because the games 35 make the brain work harder in
certain ways, like 36 noticing sounds and movements quickly and identifying what they are. The
fact that people play the games repeatedly 37 means that they get a lot of practice in these skills
which are therefore likely to become highly developed.
Social skills may benefit, too. Researchers in Chicago think that fans of first- person shooter
games (38 such as)
“Counterstrike” are better than non-players when it comes to building trust and co-operation, and
that this (39 helps )them to make good friendships and become strong members of their

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 41 to 50
A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker.
The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting (truyền đạt)
information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized
communication through performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of
words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh (chua, chói), by the
rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and
regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When
speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm.
At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen,
or may belie them. Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive
(trực giác) sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or
excitement, all of which are .usually discernible (nhận rõ) by the acute listener. Public
performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for
obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in the case
of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create
empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic (sư phạm) communication.
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and
emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious,
shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant (cới mở), to name only a few personality traits. Also the
sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding
behind an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or
sympathy in any given conversation can drastically (mạnh mẽ) alter the tone of presentation, by
encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and
melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted (hẹp hòi) and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull
and lethargic (thờ ơ) qualities of the depressed.
Question 41. What does the passage mainly discuss?

D. vocal quality
Question 47. According to the passage, an overconfident front may hide_____.
A. hostility
B. shyness
C. friendliness
D. strength
Question 48. The word "drastically" in line 21 is closest in meaning to_____.
A. frequently
B. exactly
C. severely
D. easily


Question 49. The word "evidenced" in line 22 is closest in meaning to_____.
A. questioned
B. repeated
C. indicated
D. exaggerated
Question 50. According to the passage, what does a constricted and harsh voice indicate?
A. Lethargy
B. Depression
C. Boredom
D. Anger
Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part
is pronounced differently from that of the rest ones
Question 51:
A. merchant
B. sergeant
C. commercial
D. term

when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total
number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only
321. This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between
temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary
among different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness
within temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed,
comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still
mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike
comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation
phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical
decisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously;
little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up
the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by
focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.
Question 56: The word "consequence" in line 2 is closest in meaning to_____.
A. result
B. explanation
C. analysis
D. requirement

In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by
four (1888, 1900, 1964, etc.). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending
with zero have died in office, with one exception. William H. Harrison, the man who
served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only several weeks after his inauguration.
Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was
elected in 1860, and his untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a
former Union army general from Ohio, was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a
man to whom he wouldn't give a job. While in his second term of office (1901), William
McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York.
During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with some of the guests.
John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his election.
Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G, Harding died in office.
Although it was never proved, many believe he was poisoned. Franklin D. Roosevelt was
elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944), the only man to serve so long a term. He
had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually died of the illness in 1945.

Read the passage and choose the best answer:
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man.
However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be
remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he
created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile
contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry,
medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first
awards ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this
sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold
medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics
plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science
awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War 11.
Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
