The human brain, remember, is programmed to slip into alarm mode when danger looms Danger looms for someone, somewhere at every moment Exposing ourselves to such input without respite and without perspective cannot be anything other than a source of chronic stress (Extracted from The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Beating Stress by Arlene Matthews Uhl - Penguin Group 2006) Question 36: According to the passage, which of the following has contributed to the intense nature of twenty-first-century stress? A The degree to which stress affects our life B Our inability to control ourselves C An overabundance of special news D Our continual exposure to the media Question 37: In the past, we had less news of distant people and lands because A printing, transportation, and telecommunications were not developed B means of communication and transportation were not yet invented C most people lived in distant towns and villages D the printing press changed the situation too slowly Question 38: The pronoun “them” in paragraph refers to A TV channels B TV news C television sets D cable access Question 39: The word “traumatic” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A fascinating B upsetting C exciting D boring Trang 3/7 - Mã đề thi 137 Question 40: According to the passage, when there is not enough actual breaking news, broadcasts A are full of dangerous diseases such as flu B send out live newscasts paired with text across the screen C are forced to publicise an alarming increase in crime D send out frightening stories about potential dangers Question 41: As stated in the passage, a flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream tend to A be scarce breaking news B involve natural and man-made disasters C be treated with equal alarm D be warmly welcomed by the public Question 42: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? A The only source of stress in our modern life is the media B Many TV channels supply the public with breaking news C Many people are under stress caused by the media D The news that is reported to us is not good news Question 43: The word “slip” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A fail B bring C release D fall Question 44: According to the passage, our continual exposure to bad news without perspective is obviously A the result of an overabundance of good news B the result of human brain’s switch to alarm mode C a source of defects in human brain D a source of chronic stress Question 45: What is probably the best title for this passage? A Developments in Telecommunications B The Media – A Major Cause of Stress C More Modern Life – More Stress D Effective Ways to Beat Stress Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase for each of the blanks from 46 to 55 The popular image of student life is of young people with few responsibilities enjoying themselves and (46) very little work This is often not true Many older people now study at college or university, sometimes (47) a part-time basis while having a job and looking after a family These students are often (48) motivated and work very hard Younger students are often thought to be lazy and careless about money but this (49) is changing In Britain reduced government support for higher education means that students can no longer rely on having their expenses (50) for them Formerly, students received a grant towards their living expenses Now most can only get a loan (51) has to be paid back Since 1999 they have paid over £1 000 towards tuition (52) and this amount will increase up to a maximum of £3 000 In the US students already (53) pay for tuition and room and board Many get a financial aid package which may (54) grants, scholarships and loans The fear of having large debts places (55) pressure on students and many take part-time jobs during the term and work full-time in the vacations (Extracted from Oxford Guide to British and American Culture – Oxford Advanced Learner’s Compass) Question 46: A producing Question 47: A for Question 48: A highly Question 49: A position Question 50: A paying Question 51: A whether Question 52: A money Question 53: A had better B carrying B with B mainly B state B paid B what B fees B should C doing C on C absolutely C situation C pay C which C allowances C may D making D at D adequately D condition D to pay D who D charge D have to Trang 4/7 - Mã đề thi 137 Question 54: A include Question 55: A large B consist B generous C compose C considerate D belong D considerable Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that has the underlined part pronounced differently from the rest in each of the following questions Question 56: A plain B certain C faithful D attain Question 57: A survived B maintained C started D determined Question 58: A documentary B population C stimulate D maximum Question 59: A supply B sensitive C reserve D universal Question 60: A teaching B treatment C weather D repeat Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction Question 61: In spite of the heavy rain, all we enjoyed the excursion A B C D Question 62: A dolphin can communicate with other by making distinctive sounds A B C D Question 63: The children wish that they have more free time to play football A B C D Question 64: Opened the letter from her boyfriend, she felt extremely excited A B C D Question 65: Wood is an excellent resource for heating homes, cooking food, and build houses A B C D Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions Question 66: I have never used a more fascinating MP3 player than this one A This is the most fascinating MP3 player I have ever used B Like the other MP3 players, this one is fascinating to me C This MP3 player does not fascinate me much D I am very fascinated by the MP3 player I am using Question 67: “Trust me!
