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 below.
Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did.
The name Webster has become synonymous with American dictionaries. Born in West Hartford, Connecticut,
in 1758, Webster graduated from Yale in 1778. He was admitted to the bar in 1781 and thereafter began to
practice law in Hartford. Later, when he turned to teaching, he discovered how inadequate the available
schoolbooks were for the children of a new and independent nation.
In response to the need for truly American textbooks, Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the
English Language, a three-volume work that consisted of a speller, a grammar, and a reader. The first volume,
which was generally known as The American Spelling Book, was so popular that eventually it sold more than
80 million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of life. While teaching, Webster
began work on the Compendious Dictionary of the English Language, which was published in 1806, and was
also very successful.
In 1807, Noah Webster began his greatest work, An American Dictionary of the English Language. In
preparing the manuscript, he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages,
and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828, An American Dictionary of the
English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States. Webster’s purpose in
writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,
pronunciations, and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing simplified spelling
forms: program instead of programme; plow instead of plough; theater and center instead of theatre and centre;
color and honor instead of colour and honour.
In 1840 Webster brought out a second edition of his dictionary, which included 70.000 entries instead of
the original 38.000. This edition served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced by others,
but under the Webster name.

Câu 36. Which of the following would the best title for the passage?
A. Webster’s Works B. Webster’s Hometown
C. Webster’s School D. Webster’s Life
Câu 37. The word “inadequate” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by?
A. Unavailable B. Expensive C. Difficult D. Unsatisfactory
Câu 38. Why did Webster write A Grammatical Institute of the English Language?
A. He wanted to supplement his income.
B. There were no books available after the Revolutionary War.
C. He felt that British books were not appropriate for American children.
D. The children did not know how to spell.
Câu 39. From which publication did Webster earn a lifetime income?
A. Compendious Dictionary of the English Language
B. An American Dictionary of the English Language
C. An American Dictionary of the English Language: Second Edition
D. The American Spelling Book
Câu 40. When was An American Dictionary of the English Language published?
A. 1817 B. 1807 C. 1828 D. 1824
Câu 41. What was Webster’s aim in writing An American Dictionary of the English Language?
A. To respond to the need for new schoolbooks.
B. To demonstrate the distinct development of the English language in America.
C. To promote spelling forms based upon British models.
D. To influence the pronunciation of the English language.
Câu 42. According to this passage, which one of the following spellings would Webster have approved in his
dictionaries?
A. Programme B. Theatre C. Color D. Honour

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 below.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually and the first woman to win this prize was Baroness Bertha
Felicie Sophie von Suttner in 1905. In fact, her work inspired the creation of the Prize. The first American
woman to win this prize was Jane Addams, in 1931. However, Addams is best known as the founder of Hull
House.
Jane Addams was born in 1860, into a wealthy family. She was one of a small number of women in her
generation to graduate from college. Her commitment to improving the lives of those around her led her to
work for social reform and world peace. In the 1880s Jane Addams traveled to Europe. While she was
in London, she visited a ‘settlement house’ called Toynbee Hall. Inspired by Toynbee Hall, Addams and her
friend, Ellen Gates Starr, opened Hull House in a neighborhood of slums in Chicagoin 1899. Hull House
provided a day care center for children of working mothers, a community kitchen, and visiting nurses. Addams
and her staff gave classes in English literacy, art, and other subjects. Hull House also became a meeting place
for clubs and labor unions. Most of the people who worked with Addams in Hull House were well educated,
middle-class women. Hull House gave them an opportunity to use their education and it provided a training
ground for careers in social work.
Before World War I, Addams was probably the most beloved woman in America. In a newspaper poll
that asked, “Who among our contemporaries are of the most value to the community?” Jane Addams was
rated second, after Thomas Edison. When she opposed America’s involvement in World War I, however,
newspaper editors called her a traitor and a fool, but she never changed her mind. Jane Addams was a strong
champion of several other causes. Until 1920, American women could not vote. Addams joined in the
movement for women’s suffrage and was a vice president of the National American Woman Suffrage
Association. She was a founding member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP), and was president of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. Her reputation was
gradually restored during the last years of her life. She died of cancer in 1935.
