sanctuary, which makes them safe from
hunters, they still face a number of problems that threaten their survival. One of these is the ever-present danger of
disease. This is what killed more than a third of Africa’s Serengeti lions in 1994, and people are fearful that

Read the following passage and indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
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 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, 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 believe them. Here the participant’s tone can
consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety,
enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible 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
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, 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 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 and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of
the depressed.
35. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The function of the voice in performance

B. Communication styles

C. The connection between voice and personality
D. The production of speech

C. To contrast them to singing

D. To introduce the idea of self-image

answer to each of the questions.
American and British people both speak English, of course, but sometimes it does not seem like the same language.
In fact, there are some important differences between British and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say all the letters in each word, especially
consonants like “t” and “d”. For example, Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”, or they may
say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What do you say?” However, the British usually pronounce their consonants
carefully.
Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, Americans say the “a” in “class” like “a” in “cat”, but the
British say the “a” in “class” like the “a” in “half”. The “r” is sometimes said differently, too. When an American
says “farmer”, you can usually hear the “r”. But you can’t hear the “r” in British English. The British say
“fahmah”.
Sound is not the only difference between British English and American English. The two languages have different

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 55 to 64
Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an
illness or accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old
people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss
of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Plants age too, but
the signs are much harder to detect.
Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach their
peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that, they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradually
become lighter and more brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible.
This can make moving very painful.
All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and
even gets smaller in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in
remembering recent events.


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí
One of the most serious changes
of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart. They become thickened and constricted,
allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body. This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the
diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart attack.
Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. There are great
differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age. The majority
of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve cells and muscle
fibers can never be replaced once they wear out.
Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging-believe this wearing out of the body is controlled
by a built-in biological time-clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down
the process. This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.
