The digestion is shut down, the blood pressure is raised, the heart speeds up and the skin becomes cold. Maintained over a prolonged period, this emergency status makes the body - and the personality - tight, dry and rigid. In people who are afraid to let themselves pour forth their painful emotions, doctors find the suppressed tears can trigger such ailments as asthma, migraine headache and many others. Weeping, on the other hand, comes as part of the reversal of conditions of alarm, shock and anger. Tears do not, therefore, mark a breakdown or low point, but a transition to warmth and hope and health. So there is a genuine wisdom in tears. In permitting ourselves to weep instead of repressing the impulse, we help ourselves to health. 1) From the statement in the passage, we can infer that some people ___________ A. regard crying as a weakness or failure B. don't consult their doctors about certain ailments C. develop personality problems from ailments such as asthma D. find that migraine headaches cause them to weep 2) According to the writer, not crying ___________ A. is a common characteristic of asthmatics B. is a sign that a person is in poor health C. causes the digestion to shut down D. helps us to control our feelings of shock or anger 3) In the writer's opinion ___________ A. people should visit their doctors in times of emotional emergency B. we need to cry in order to recover from traumas C. weeping can cause alarm, shock or even anger in others D. doctors don't do enough to help patients with motional problems PASSAGE 2: Superstition is a belief for which there appears to be no rational substance. Many persons, in nearly all times, have held, seriously or half-seriously, irrational beliefs concerning methods of warding off ill or bringing good, foretelling the future, and healing or preventing sickness or accident. A few specific folk traditions, such as belief in the evil eye have been found in most periods of history and in most parts of the world. Others may be limited to one country, region, or village, to one family, or to one social or vocational group. Superstition has been deeply influential in history. Even in so- called modern times, in a day when objective evidence is highly valued, there are few people who would not, if pressed, admit to cherishing secretly one or two irrational beliefs or superstitions. 4) According to the author of the passage, superstition is _____________ A. a practice of belief in something with no sensible explanation C. being practiced only is rural villages and tribes B. underrated in today’s modern world by all educated people D. regarded as illogical even by the least educated 5) While some superstitions have greatly been prevalent throughout the world __________ A. it's hard to convince people of their irrationality B. most of them are currently being forgotten C. we have little to do but to believe in them D. modern peoples don't esteem them to be rational 6) Most people in modern societies __________ A. don't underestimate superstitions due to their relevance to real life B. have already lost their faith in superstitions C. might have a couple of superstitions which will reveal when they are forced to recount D. have reasonable basis to believe in superstitions PASSAGE 3: Lung cancer occurs primarily in persons between 45 and 75 years of age. In the late 20th century, in countries with a prolonged history of cigarette smoking, between 80 and 90 percent of all cases of lung cancer were caused by cigarette smoking. Heavy smokers have a greater likelihood of developing the disease than do light smokers. The risk is also greater for those who started smoking at a young age. Passive inhalation of cigarette smoke is also linked to lung cancer in nonsmokers. In the early 1990s it was estimated that passive smoking caused some 2,500-3,300 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States, or about 2 percent of all U.S. lung cancer deaths. 7) It is stated in the passage that in the countries where cigarette smoking has a long history ________ A. most deaths of lung cancer sufferers are largely due to that habit B. innovative methods have been devised to break the habit C. heavy smokers are alleged to be more likely to develop lung cancer than light ones D. it is impossible to see someone who is a lung cancer sufferer 8) Passive inhalation ___________ A. is considered as one of the most significant factors of lung cancer B. used to cause more deaths previously than it does now C. has nothing to do with those who smoke in public places D. is thought to be responsible for two percent of the deaths of lung cancer sufferers 9) From the figures in the passage, it can be determined that ____________ A. no one older than 75 die because they have lung cancer B. almost 85 percent of lung cancer sufferers are affected by just cigarette smoke C. on average, each year some 150,000 people die of lung cancer D. some 2800 people are affected by passive inhalation in USA PASSAGE 4: Alfred Bernhard Nobel donated most of his vast fortune in trust as a fund from which annual prizes could be awarded to individuals and organisations who had achieved the greatest benefit to humanity in a particular year. Nguyễn Đức Hưng** - Marie Curie High School, HP. (: 0912.883.190) Originally, there were six classifications for outstanding contributions designated in Nobel’s will including, chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, literature, and international peace. The prizes are administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. Candidates for prizes must be nominated in writing by a qualified authority in the field of competition. Recipients in physics, chemistry, and economics are selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of sciences; in physiology or medicine by the Caroline Institute; in literature by the Swedish Academy; in peace by the Norwegian Nobel Committee appointed by Norway’s parliament. The prizes are all presented in Stockholm on December, 10, with the King of Sweden officiating, an appropriate tribute to Alfred Nobel on the anniversary of his death. 10) From the passage, it's understood that a person who has composed a symphony ___________ A. is regarded as a great contributor to mankind B. used to take Nobel prizes before Alfred Nobel died C. doesn't have the same possibility to get Nobel as a writer D. might be awarded with a Nobel prize should the Nobel Foundation accept 11) According to the passage, December, 10th is significant from the point that ___________ A. it coincides the delivery date of the Nobel prizes with its namesake’s demise date B. it's the choice of Alfred Nobel in his will C. it is the date of the establishment of Nobel Foundation D. it's the earliest possible date for the Norwegian parliament 12) In order to be nominated to one of the Nobel prizes, ____________ A. one should reside in Sweden and be a graduate of Royal Swedish academy B. someone authority in the related branch should show his written approval of it C. a scientist must find someone to talk in favour of him before the Nobel committee D. one should be experienced and have many research papers PASSAGE 5: An explosives factory can be separated into two zones: the "non-danger" and "danger" areas. The main function of the non-danger area lies in the manufacture of nitric and sulphuric acids for the nitration processes, including the recovery of these acids from the waste products of nitration. Other raw materials are also prepared in the non-danger area. The actual manufacture of explosives and their mixing and packing are carried out in the danger area, which requires careful safety measures. The main danger in manufacture is starting a fire by spark, friction or impact, the latter two being especially hazardous if the explosive is allowed to become contaminated with gritty material. Naked lights, steel tools or anything which might produce spark or flame are, therefore, forbidden in the dangers buildings. Each building has a "clean" floor which may be approached only in specially cleaned shoes, while the workers are provided with factory clothing to ensure that grit is not carried into the plant. 13) We understand from the passage that in the non-danger zone of a typical explosives factory __________ A. nitric and sulphuric acids are produced and various other raw materials are got prepared B. nothing that might produce a spark or a flame is permitted C. the explosives are packaged and stored D. the workers are provided with heavy factory clothing 14) We can infer from passage that the danger of fire of friction or impact is greatly increased ____________ A. while the waste products of nitration are being packed B. when the explosive is contaminated with nitric acid C. if the explosive is contaminated with nitric acid D. after the manufacturing process is carried out 15) It's stated in the passage that one of the safety measures taken in an explosives factory is __________ A. the training of the workers in fire-fighting procedures B. the regular washing of the factory floors to keep them sterile C. the provision of special factory clothing for the workers in the danger area D. to keep the manufacturing processes separate from the packaging an storing processes PASSAGE 6: Aspirin used to be considered safe to cure numerous disorders, and was widely used both in its soluble and insoluble form. Today, however, it is not so well thought to be useful for the relief of headache or other pains and it will reduce a fever for 2 or 3 hours and so make a patient feel more comfortable, but except in very rare cases it will cure nothing. Furthermore, there have been some very serious cases of poisoning as a result of taking aspirin. This is why children's aspirins are not recommended, for they are often nicely flavoured, so the children are tempted to eat them like sweets. For small children suitably small quantities of ordinary adult soluble aspirin should be used after having checked the dose with the physician. 16) We can infer from the passage that aspirin is a medicine which __________ A. is indispensable in the treatment of many serious illnesses B. can safely be given, in quite large amounts, to all patients including children C. is used not to provide a cure but to give relief D. should only be given in very special cases 17) It is stated in the passage that children's aspirins __________ A. are not recommended as they cannot be safe for children B. have proved to be safe and nice C. are usually of the insoluble type D. are specially designed to relieve headaches 18) The author suggests that children ____________ A. can be given adult aspirin upon the advice of a physician B. prefer soluble aspirin to flavoured aspirin C. should not be given any medicines including aspirin D. frequently suffer from headaches Nguyễn Đức Hưng** - Marie Curie High School, HP.
