III. READING
Part 1. Read the following passage and write in the boxes below the letter A, B, C, or D to
indicate the correct word that best fits each of the numbered blanks. (1.0 pt)

THE VIDEO LOGGERS

One rather unlikely word that has recently entered the language is 'blog', a shortened form
of 'web log'. A blog is a diary (61) on the Internet by the person writing it - the
'blogger' - who presumably (62) __ other people to read it. It is ironical that modern
technology is being used to breathe new life (63) _ such an old-fashioned form as the
personal journal. And now, as the technology behind video cameras is making them easier to use,
we have the video log, or 'vlog'. Vlogging does not require (64) sophisticated
equipment: a digital video camera, a high-speed Internet connection and a host are all that is needed.
Vloggers can put anything that (65) _ _ their fancy onto their personal web site. Some
vloggers have no ambitions rather than to show films they have shot while on holiday in exotic
places. (66) , vlogs can also serve more ambitious purposes. For instance,
amateur film-makers (67) want to make a name for themselves might publish their
work on the Internet, eager to receive advice or criticism. And increasingly, vlogs are being used
to publicize political and social issues that are not newsworthy enough to (68)
coverage by the mass media. It is still (69) early to predict whether vlogging will ever
take off in a major way or if it is just a passing fad, but its (70) is only now becoming
apparent.
61. A. released B. sent C. posted D. mounted
62. A. believes B. expects C. assumes D. supposes
63. A. into B. in C. on D. for
64. A. absolutely B. largely C. utterly D. highly
65. A. grasps B. appeals C. takes D. gives
66. A. However B. Because C. So D. Although
67. A. which B. who C. what D. whom
Trang 5/11
68. A. earn B. cause C. excuse D. warrant
69. A. very B. such C. too D. so
70. A. potential B. possibility C. ability D. feasibility

Your answers:
61. 62. 63. 64. 65.
66. 67. 68. 69. 70.

Part 2. Read the passage and write ONE suitable word for each blank in the boxes below.
(2.0 pts)
STRESS AND ATHLETIC SUCCESS
Success, in any field, is often a matter of how well a person is (71) _ to control the
amount of stress they experience. As stress increases, their performance often improves but there is
a certain point beyond (72) __ their performance begins to decline sharply. Sports
psychologists now help Olympic athletes, (73) others, balance the good and bad effects
of stress.
Before an athletic event, a high (74) of excitement can actually have a positive
effect on the athlete. This excitement becomes harmful, (75) , if negative thoughts take
over. Thoughts such as “What if I fall?” or “I know the others are better than me” should definitely
be avoided. Psychologists help athletes manage to replace (76) thoughts with positive
ones.
Another useful technique before competing (77) to recognise your level of
excitement and adjust it if necessary. Music may be helpful (78) __ these cases. If you’re
over-excited, listening to soft music can help to calm you down. If you feel you're not excited (79)
you may want to listen to fast, powerful music to raise your spirits.
The key to success, in other words, is a person's knowledge of their ideal level of excitement.
An imbalance (80) way could mean the difference between success and failure.

76. 77. 78. 79. 80.

Part 3. The passage below contains 10 mistakes. Identify the mistakes, correct them, and
write your answers in the boxes below. Lines 1 and 2 have been done as examples. (2.0 pts)

Line

1 If I say 'I always tell lies’, am I telling truth? This is known as the Liar’s Paradox.
2 It has been around for millennia and is usually attributed to the Cretan who said ‘All of
3 Cretans are liars’. Logicians call this a circular argument or problem to that there is no
4 solution. The quick answer is that while the question is valid from a grammatical viewpoint,
5 from a logical point of view is contrived contradictory nonsense, though this didn't stop the

Trang 6/11
 6 philosopher Bertrand Russell spending two whole of summers trying to solve the
7 contradiction.
8 The theological answer is that the human race is made up of three types of people: the
9 saints who always tell the truth, devils who always tell lies and sinners who sometimestell
10 the truth and sometimes tell lies. Logically, the saint cannot say ‘I always tell lies’ sincethis
11 would be a lie. A devil cannot logically say 'I always tell lies’ since all this would be the
12 truth. Only a sinner can logically say ‘I always tell lies’, and this would be a lie. It is
13 essentially the same as the dilemma faced the barber who shaves all the men who don’t
14 shave themselves. The whole question is: who shaves the barber? Clearly, he cannot shave
15 himself when he only shaves those who don’t shave themselves. However, he cannot
16 remain unshaven as he would then have to shave themselves.

Part 4. Read the following passage and write in the boxes below the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions. (2.0 pts)
Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of
pollution, it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different
individuals is highly subjective and, therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be
slightly irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly
in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes
physical and psychological harm, and distracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to
it.
Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid,
and is, therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection.
Trang 7/11
 Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes
accustomed. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism,
including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels
constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning
brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of these responses
persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has
ceased.
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding
in a same way that we would response to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise
and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical
and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also
to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal
health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be
victims of health as well. Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they
are more sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth. In addition, the psychic effect of noise
is very important. Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase, affecting the quality of
rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during walking hours, as well as the way that we
interact with each other.
91. Which of the following is the author’s main point?
A. Noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological health.
B. Loud noises signal danger.
C. Hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem.
D. The ear is not like the eye.
92. According to the passage, what is noise?
A. Unwanted sound B. A by-product of technology
C. Physical and psychological harm D. Congestion
93. Why is noise difficult to measure?
A. It causes hearing loss.
B. All people do not respond to it in the same way.
C. It is unwanted.
D. People become accustomed to it.
94. The word congested in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by .
A. hazardous B. polluted C. crowded D. rushed
95. The word “by-product” as used in the passage is closest in meaning to .
A. a necessary product
B. a product that is always by your side
C. an unexpected result
D. something that is produced by environmental pollution
96. It can be inferred from the passage that the eye .
A. responds to fear B. enjoys greater protection than the ear
C. increases functions D. is damaged by noise
97. According to the passage, people respond to loud noise in the same way that they respond to
.
A. annoyance B. disease C. damage D. danger
