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 following questions from 50 to 59.
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of
communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known
culture. The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts
attention, as. For example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the
potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain
meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently.
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship
with the receivers cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers
with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain
cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage.
They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As
a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based
upon speech. Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few.
Question 50: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Gestures
B. Signs and signals
C. Speech
D. Communication
Question 51: What does the author say about speech?
A. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.
B. It is the most advanced form of communication.
C. It is necessary for communication to occur.
D. It is the only true form of communication.
Question 52: According to the passage, what is a signal?
A. A form of communication that interrupts the environment.
B. The most difficult form of communication to describe
C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances.
Trang 3/6 - M thi 223

D. The form of communication most related to cultural perception.

Question 53: The phrase impinge upon in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______________.
A. prohibit
B. intrude
C. vary
D. improve
Question 54: The word it in paragraph refers to _______________.
A. way
B. environment
C. function
D. signal
Question 55: The word potential in paragraph 1 could be replaced by ______________.
A. advanced
B. possibility
C. organization
D. signal
Question 56: The word intricate in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by ________
A. inefficient
B. complicated
C. historical
D. uncertain
Question 57: Applauding was cited as an example of ______________.
A. a signal
B. a sign
C. a gesture
D. a symbol
Question 58: Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented?
A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols.
B. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances.

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 following questions from 60 to 64.
In the mid nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could be
exploited in order to develop heavy industry. Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the
manufacture of machinery, transportation facilities, and consumer goods lay ready to be worked into
wealth. Iron, coal, and oil the basic ingredients of industrial growth were plentiful and needed only the
application of technical expertise, organizational skill, and labor.
One crucial development in this movement toward industrialization was the growth of the
railroads. The railway network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like a
spiders web, with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw materials, their places of
manufacture, and their centers of distribution. The railroads contributed to the industrial growth not only
by connecting these major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous amounts of fuel, iron,
and coal.
Many factors influenced emerging modes of production. For example, machine tools, the tools
used to make goods, were steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century always with an
eye to speedier production and lower unit costs. The products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by
the growing cities that sheltered the workers and the distributors. The increased urban population was
nourished by the increased farm production that, in turn, was made more productive by the use of the new
farm machinery. American agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses
for sale to the industrial centers of Europe.
The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm
areas where people were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe.
Europe now began to send tides of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe most of whom were
originally poor farmers but who settled in American industrial cities. The money to finance this
tremendous expansion of the American economy still came from European financiers for the most part,
but the American were approaching the day when their expansion could be financed in their own money
market.
Question 60: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The history of railroads in the United States
B. The major United States industrial centers
C. Factors that affected industrialization in the United States
D. The role of agriculture in the nineteenth century
Question 61: The word themselves in the paragraph 2 refers to _______
A. sources
B. centers
C. railroads
D. places
Trang 4/6 - M thi 223

Question 62: According to the passage, all of the following were true of railroads in the United States in
the nineteenth century EXCEPT that
A. they connected important industrial cities
B. they were necessary to the industrialization process
C. they were expanded in a short time
D. they used relatively small quantities of natural resources
Question 63: Which of the following in NOT true of United States farmers in the nineteenth century?
A. They lost some jobs because of mechanization
B. They were unable to produce sufficient food for urban areas
C. They raised their productivity by using new machinery
D. They sold food to European countries
Question 64: The word ran in the paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________
A. operated
B. hurried
C. constructed
D. owned
