SECTION II: READING COMPREHENSION (8 pts)

PART 1: Read the text and choose the best answer. Write your answers (A, B, C, or D) in the
numbered box. (2 pts)

Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States. However,
the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and the movie
industry there is often called “Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as
Hollywood – more than 1,000 movies a year.
The movies from Bollywood are very different from those made by Hollywood studios. For one
thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies
are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery, and
romance (but usually no kissing). Because Bollywood movies contain so many different features,
this style of movie is sometimes called a “masala” movie – “masala” is an Indian word for a mixture
of spices.
Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made.
It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin
on a Bollywood movie before the script is even finished. The director and the writers can make up

Trang 2/7
the story while the movie is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead
of taking time to type it.
Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several
movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several movies on the same day using the
same costumes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting
scenes for several movies at the same time is not a big problem for actors and directors. This also
helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average
Bollywood movie, with a budget of about two million U.S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to
the average budget of nearly 70 million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood movie!

1. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. Famous stars in Bollywood.
B. The differences between two movie industries.
C. How Hollywood movies are made.
D. The history of movie-making in India.
2. What is NOT true about Mumbai?
A. It is the movie capital of India.
B. More movies are made there than in Hollywood.
C. The new name is Bombay.
D. It is less expensive to make movies there than in Hollywood.
3. Why are Bollywood movies often called “masala” movies?
A. They have spicy stories.
B. They are much longer than Hollywood movies.
C. They show Indian culture.
D. They mix features from different styles of movies.
4. One of the reasons Bollywood movies are cheap to make is …..
A. they are shorter than Hollywood movies.
B. the scripts are written by hand.
C. the movies do not use any special effects.
D. some movies reuse things from other movies.
5. Which statement would the writer probably agree with?
A. Hollywood movies are too violent.
B. It takes a lot of money to make a good movie.
C. Most Bollywood movies are very similar.
D. Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.

PART 3: Read an article about a man who is an autistic savant. Seven sentences have been
removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (1-6). There
is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. (3 pts)
A genius explains
Daniel Tammet is an autistic savant. He can perform amazing mathematical calculations at incredible
speeds. But, unlike other savants who can perform similar feats. Tammet can describe how he does
it. Now scientists are asking whether his exceptional abilities are the key to unlocking the secrets of
autism.
Interview by Richard Johnson
Daniel Tammet is talking. As he talks, he stusies my shirt and counts the stitches. Ever since the age
of three, when he suffered an epileptic fit, Tammet has been obsessed with counting. Now he is 26,
and a mathematical genius who can figure out cube roots quicker than a calculator and recall pi to
22,514 decimal places. (1)_________. He lives with an extraordinary abilitiy and disability.
Tammet is calculating 377 multiplied by 795. Actually, he isn’t ‘calculating’: there is nothing
conscious
About what he is doing (2)_________. Since his epileptic fit, he has been able to see numbers as
shapes, colours, and textures. The number five, for instance, is a clap of thunder. “When I multiply
numbers together, I see two shapes. The image starts to change and evolve, and a third shape
emerges. That’s the answer. It’s mental imagery. It’s like maths without having to think.”
Tammet is a ‘savant’, an individual with an astonishing, extraordinary mental ability. An estimated
10% of the autistic population – and an estimated 1% of the non-autistic population – have savant
abilities, but no one knows exactly why. (3)_________. Professor Allan Snyder, from the center for
the Mind at the Australian National University in Canberra, explains why Tammet is of particular
scientific interest. “Savants can’t usually tell us how they do what they do”, says Snyder. ‘Daniel
can. He describes what he sees in his head. That’s why he’s exciting. He could be the Rosetta Stone.’
Trang 4/7
Savants have usually had some kind of brain damage and it is this damage which creates the savant.
(4)__________ . While many savants struggle with language and comprehension (skills associated
primarily with the left hemisphere), they often have amazing skills in mathematics and memory
(primarily right hemisphere skills).
Tammet has never been able to work 9 to 5. It would be too difficult to fit around his daily routine.
For instance, he has to drink his cups of tea at exactly the same time every day. Things have to
happen in the same order; he always brushes his teeth before he has his shower. “I have tried to be
more flexible, but I always end up feeling more uncomfortable. Retaining a sense of control is really
important.” (5) __________. Instead, he has set up a business on his own, at home, writing email
courses in language learning, numeracy, and literacy for private clients. It has had the added benefit
of keeping human interaction to a minimum.
Autistic savants have displayed a wide range of talents. (6) __________. The blind American savant
Leslie Lemke played Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1 after hearing it for the first time, and he
never had a piano lesson. And the British savant Stephen Witshire was able to draw a highly accurate
map of the London skyline from memory after a single helicopter trip over the city. Even so,
Tammet could still turn out to be the most significant of all.

A. Brain scans suggest that the right hemisphere might be compensating for damage in the left
hemisphere.
B. He also happens to be autistic, which is why he can’t drive a car, wire a plug, or tell right
from left.
C. He likes to do things in his own time, and in his own style, so an office with targets and
bureaucracy just wouldn’t work.
D. He arrives at the answer instantly.
E. These range from reciting all nine volumes of Grove’s Dictionary of Music to measuring
exact distances with the naked eye.
F. Few people on the streets have recognised Tammet since his pi record attempt.
G. A number of scientists now hope that Tammet might help us to understand better.
