children. Parents and teachers alike maintain that silence is important when learning, (31) ….. youngsters  
insist that their favourite sounds help them concentrate.  
Now a study shows the grown-ups have been right all along. Psychologists in Florida tested how fast  
students wrote essays with and without music in the (32) ……. They found that the sounds slowed progress  
down by about sixty words per hour. 'This demonstrates clearly that it is difficult to cope with listening and  
writing at the same time,' said Dr Sarah Randall. She also(33) ……. to conclusion that it is a myth that  
instrumental music is less distracting that vocals. 'All types of music had the same effect,' she said in her  
report. 'One's ability to pay attention and write fluently is likely to be disturbed(34)….. both vocal and  
instrumental music,' she added.  
Dr Randall claimed the research demonstrated that the idea that music could improve performance  
was wrong. 'Writing and essay is a complex task. You are recalling information and putting it in order. An

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 36 to 42.  
Around 365 B.C, in ancient Greece, the great teacher Plato told a story about a place called Atlantis.  
Plato described Atlantis as a continent in the Atlantic Ocean. He said it had been the home of powerful  
people who were destroyed when the continent was swallowed by the sea.  
Ever since Plato’s time, people have wondered if the story about Atlantis was really true. Was there ever  
such a place as Atlantis? During the Middle Ages, many people believed in the legend of Atlantis. Some  
men even made voyages to find the “lost continent”. Later, most people believed Atlantis to be just a myth.  
Scientists could find to no evidence to show that such a place had ever existed.  
Ideas change in time, however, for now some scientists think that Atlantis might have been a real place.  
A Greek professor has offered a new theory. He says that Atlantis was not a continent in the Atlantic  
Ocean an island called Thera in the Aegean Sea. The professor says that 3500 years ago much of Thera  
collapsed into the sea a volcano erupted. He thinks that before the explosion Thera had been the home of  
people called Minoans. The Minoans were sea traders who ruled the Aegean Sea from 2000 B.C. to 1250  
B.C.  
Scientists who have come to investigate Thera have found an accident city buried beneath volcanic ash  
and stone. It appears that the people who lives in the city had an advanced civilization. They were probably  
Mimoans.  
Is there the “lost continent” of Atlantis? No one may ever know for certain. Atlantis may remain a riddle  
without an answer.  
Question 36: The word in paragraph 3 that means “fell down is ____________.  
A. collapsed  
B. existed  
C. erupted  
D. rode  
Question 37: A lot of people in the Middle Ages ____________.  
A. thought that Atlantis was only a myth.  
B. found some evidence about the “lost continent”  
C. made voyage to visit Atlantis  
D. believed in the existence of Atlantis  
Question 38: Who were the ancient Minoans?  
A. scientists D. Greek professors.  
B. sea traders  
C. teachers  
Question 39: The word “explosion in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ____________.  
A. investigation.  
B. invasion  
C. excursion  
D. eruption  
Question 40: Why did Thera collapse into the sea?  
A. A volcano erupted  
C. Noone believed it  
B. Stones buried it  
D. Thera was lower land  
Question 41: Which statement seems true for the passage?  
A. Plato was a Greek teacher who lived in Atlantis.  
C. There are no different theories about Atlantis.  
Question 42: What is the best title for this passage ?  
B. There are different theories about Atlantis.  
D. Everyone knows where the lost continent is.  
A. Atlantis  
C. The Search of a Lost continent  
B. Searches of scientists  
D. Legend of Atlantis.  
Read the passage and mark A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from  
3 to 50.  
Native Americans probably arrived from Asia in successive waves over several millennia, crossing a  
4
plain hundreds of miles wide that now lies inundated by 160 feet of water released by melting glaciers. For  
Trang 4/ 7- Mã đề 101  
several periods of time, the first beginning around 60,000 BC. and the last ending around 7,000BC. , this  
land bridge was open. The first people travelled in the dusty trails of the animals they hunted. They brought  
with them not only their families, weapons, and tools but also a broad metaphysical understanding, sprung  
from dreams and visions and articulated in myth and song, which complemented their scientific and  
historical knowledge of the lives of animals and people. All this they shaped in a variety of languages,  
bringing into being oral literatures of power and beauty.  
Contemporary readers, forgetting the origins of western epic, lyric, and dramatic forms, are easily  
disposed to think of “literature” only as something written. But on reflection it becomes clear that the more  
critically useful as well as the more frequently employed sense of the term concerns the artfulness of the  
verbal creation, not its mode of presentation. Ultimately, literature is aesthetically valued, regardless of  
language, culture, or mode of presentation, because some significant verbal achievement results from the  
struggle in words between tradition and talent. Verbal art has the ability to shape out a compelling inner  
vision in some skillfully crafted public verbal form.  
Of course, the differences between the written and oral modes of expression are not without  
consequences for an understanding of Native American literature. The essential difference is that a speech  
event is an evolving communication, an “emergent form”, the shape, functions, and aesthetic values of  
which become more clearly realized over the course of the performance. In performing verbal art, the  
performer assumes responsibility for the manners as well as the content of the performance, while the  
audience assumes the responsibility for evaluating the performer’s competence in both areas. It is this  
intense mutual engagement that elicits the display of skill and shapes the emerging performance. Where  
written literature provides us with a tradition of texts, oral literature offers a tradition of performances.  
Question 43: According to the passage, why did the first people who came to North America leave their  
homeland?  
A. They were hoping to find a better climate.  
C. They were following instructions given in a dream.  
B. They were seeking freedom.  
D. They were looking for food.  
Question 44: The phrase “are easily disposed is closet in meaning to  
A. demonstrate reluctance  
B. readily encourage others  
C. have a tendency  
Question 45: The word “Ultimately is closet in meaning to  
A. frequently  
Question 46: The word “compelling” is closet in meaning to  
A. joyous B. intricate C. competing  
Question 47: What is the main point of the second paragraph ?  
D. often fail  
C. in the end  
B. normally  
D. whenever possible  
D. forceful  
A. Oral narratives are a valid form of literature.  
B. Public performance is essential to verbal art.  
C. Native Americans have a strong oral tradition in art.  
D. The production of literature provides employment for many artists.  
Question 48: According to the passage, what responsibility does the audience of a verbal art performance  
have?  
A. They provide financial support for performances.  
B. They judge the quality of the content and presentation.  
C. They participate in the performance by chanting responses.  
D. They determine the length of the performance by requesting a continuation.  
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true of the Native American literature discussed in the  
passage?  
A. It involves acting B. It has ancient origins C. It has a set form  
D. It expresses an inner vision.  
Question 50: What can be inferred from the passage about the difference between written and oral  
literature?  
A. Written literature reflects social values better than oral literature does.  
Trang 5/ 7- Mã đề 101  
B. Written literature involves less interaction between audience and creator during the creative progress than  
oral literature does.  
C. Written literature usually is not based on historical events, whereas oral literature is.  
D. Written literature is not as highly respected as oral literature is.
