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 28 to 34.

There are many African tribes but, for many people, the Masai are the most well-known. They

are famous for their bright red clothing and their ceremonies with lots of music and dancing.

Probably, one of the most colorful ceremonies is the festival of "Eunoto," when the teenage boys of

the Masai become men.

Eunoto lasts for many days and Masai people travel across the region to get to a special place near

the border between Kenya and Tanzania. The teenage boys who travel with them are called "warriors."

This is a traditional name from the past when young men fought with other tribes.

Trang 2/5 - Mã đề thi 418

At the beginning of the ceremony, the teenagers paint their bodies while their mothers start to build

a place called the "Osingira," a sacred room in the middle of the celebrations. Later, the senior elders

from different tribes will sit inside this place and, at different times, the boys go inside to meet them.

Later in the day, the boys run around the Osingira, going faster and faster each time.

The teenagers also have to alter their appearance at Eunoto. Masai boys' hair is very long before

the ritual but they have to cut it off. In Masai culture, hair is an important symbol. For example, when a

baby grows into an infant, the mother cuts the child's hair and gives the child a name. At a Masai

wedding, the hair of the bride is also cut off as she becomes a woman. And so, at Eunoto, the teenage

boy's mother cuts his hair off at sunrise.

On the final day, the teenagers meet the senior elders one more time. They get this advice: "Now

you are men, use your heads and knowledge." Then, people start to travel back to their homes and

lands. The teenagers are no longer warriors. They are adult men and now they will get married and

have children. Later in life, they will be the leaders of their communities.

(

Adapted from "Life" by John Hughes, Helen Stephenson and Paul Dummett)

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 35 to 42.

In this modern world where closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras are everywhere and

smartphones in every pocket, the routine filming of everyday life is becoming pervasive. A number of

countries are rolling out body cams for police officers; other public-facing agencies such as schools,

councils and hospitals are also experimenting with cameras for their employees. Private citizens are

getting in on the act too: cyclists increasingly wear headcams as a deterrent to aggressive drivers. As

camera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isn't hard to envisage a future where we're all filming

everything all the time, in every direction.

Would that be a good thing? There are some obvious potential upsides. If people know they are on

camera, especially when at work or using public services, they are surely less likely to misbehave. The

available evidence suggests that it discourages behaviours such as vandalism. Another upside is that it

would be harder to get away with crimes or to evade blame for accidents.

But a world on camera could have subtle negative effects. The deluge of data we pour into the

hands of Google, Facebook and others has already proved a mixed blessing. Those companies would

no doubt be willing to upload and curate our body-cam data for free, but at what cost to privacy and

freedom of choice?

Trang 3/5 - Mã đề thi 418

Body-cam data could also create a legal minefield. Disputes over the veracity and interpretation of

police footage have already surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they

didn't happen. Alternatively, footage could be faked or doctored to dodge blame or incriminate others.

Of course, there's always the argument that if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing

to fear. But most people have done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would

prefer they hadn't been caught on film. People already censor their social media feeds – or avoid doing

anything incriminating in public – for fear of damaging their reputation. Would ubiquitous body cams

have a further chilling effect on our freedom?

The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the attributes that make us human. We

are natural gossips and backbiters, and while those might not be desirable behaviours, they oil the

wheels of our social interactions. Once people assume they are being filmed, they are likely to clam up.

The argument in relation to body-cam ownership is a bit like that for guns: once you go past a

critical threshold, almost everyone will feel they need one as an insurance policy. We are nowhere near

that point yet – but we should think hard about whether we really want to say "lights, body cam, action."

(Adapted from https://www.newscientist.com)

A. something that produces unexpected results

Question 39: What does the author imply in paragraph 3?

A. Social networks provide their users with greater freedom of choice while depriving them of their

privacy and anonymity.
