Part III. There are 10 mistakes in the following passage. Underline the mistakes and write the
correct answers in the space provided. (5.0 points)
Let us suppose that you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your children read any books
without first checking their content? Would you take them to see any films without first finding whether
they are suitable for them? If your answer of these questions is yes, then you are either extremely
permissive, or just plain irresponsible. If your answer is not, then you are exercising your right as a
parent to protect your children from what you consider to be desirable influences. In other words, by act
as a censor yourself, you are admitting that there is a strong case for censorship. Children need protection
and it is the parents' responsibility to provide it. However, what about adults? Aren't they old enough to
decide that is good for them? The answer is that many adults are, but don't make the mistake of thinking
that all adults are like yourself. Censorship is for the good of society as whole. Highly civilized people
might find it possible to live together without laws of any kinds: they would just rely in good sense to
solve their problems. However, imagine what chaos there would be if we live in a society without laws!
Like the law, censorship contributes to the good.

Part III. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following
questions (A, B, C or D). Write your answer in the numbered space given below. (5.0 points)
Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of pollution, it
is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly
subjective and, therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating, whereas
exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise
produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm but it also
detracts from the quality of life for those exposed to it.
Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is,
therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection. Noise causes effects that the
hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes accustomed. Loud noises instinctively signal
danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and
respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, functioning brought about the flow of adrenaline released
in response to fear, and some of these responses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as
thirty minutes after the sound has ceased.
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the
same ways that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our
response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological
health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We
have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are
learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well. Investigations on
human subjects have demonstrated that babies are affected by noise even before they are born. Fetuses
exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more sensitive to gastrointestinal
problems after birth. In addition, the psychological effect of noise is very important. Nervousness,
irritability, tension, and anxiety increase affect the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of
activities during working hours, as well as the way that we interact with one another.
1. Which of the following is the author’s main point?
A. Hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem.
B. Loud noises signal danger.
C. Noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological health.
D. The ear is not like their eye.
Đoạn 1: Tiếng ồn rất khó đo đếm được, và gây ra nhiều tác hại khác nhau.

Page 7 of 11
Đoạn 2: Tiếng ồn gây ra những tác động mà người nghe không thể kiểm soát và cơ thể không bao giờ
quen được. Những tiếng ồn lớn sẽ kích hoạt tín hiệu cảnh báo.
Đoạn 3: Phản ứng của con người với tiếng ồn
2. Why is noise difficult to measure?
A. All people do not respond to it in the same way. B. It causes hearing loss.
C. It is unwanted D. People become accustomed to it.
=> it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly
subjective and, therefore, variable
3. According to the passage, people respond to loud noises in the same way that they respond to ______.
A. annoyance B. danger C. damage D. disease
=> Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the
same ways that we would respond to danger.
4. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “accelerate” in the passage?
A. cease B. rise C. swell D. increase
accelerate (V): làm nhanh thêm; làm chóng đến; thúc mau, giục gấp
5. It can be inferred from this passage that the eye ______.
A. responds to fear B. enjoys greater protection than the ear
C. increases functions D. is damaged by noise
=> Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is,
therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection

Part IV. Choose the most suitable heading from the list (I –V) for each paragraph from A to E of
the following article. Write your answer in the numbered space given below. (5.0 points)

List of headings
I. Any decision is better than none
II. It’s not up to anyone else
III. Fear of what may result
IV. Follow your own judgments
V. Every has to make decisions
Paragraph A
We have to make choices everyday of our lives - whether it’s what to have for lunch or choosing between
the red or the black jacket. Do you make up your mind quickly or are you one of life’s ditherers? The
difference between having a tuna or chicken sandwich isn’t going to change the world, but sometimes you
have to make an important decision that will have a long-term impact on your life.
Paragraph B
Deciding whether to go to college or leave your job and go traveling is not easy when you have got no
experience to base your decision on. After all, how do you know what backpacking around Borneo will
be like if you have never done it? What’s more, you’ve probably got everyone telling you what they think
you should do. Their advice may sound sensible, but if your heart says no, it’s not the right choice for
you. Learning to make your own mind up is about becoming an adult. When we are young, our parents do
a lot of our decision-making for us, but as we grow up we take responsibility for ourselves. However,
grabbing the power to make decision for ourselves means taking responsibility for the consequences-
even when things go wrong.
Paragraph C

Page 8 of 11
People become indecisive because they don’t want to do the wrong thing. You change your mind
constantly, write endless lists of pros and cons, seek advice from everyone and end up horribly confused.
The truth is that you are terrified of making a mistake and the bigger the decision, the bigger the potential
mistake. For example, if you buy a horrible pair of boots, you know that all you’ve done is waste a
week’s spending money. But if you buy a flat with someone and living together turns out to be a
nightmare, you could end up involved in a financial and emotional mess.
Paragraph D
But the fact is that there is an element of chance in every decision, so often our gut feelings are the only
thing we have got to guide us. Whatever you decide at the time is right; It’s only in the light of what
happens next that it can seem wrong. If you decide to spend your hard-earned money on a battered old car
and three months later it falls to bits, you’ll think you made a terrible decision. But if it goes along for
years, you’ll congratulate yourself. So stop trying to predict the future and trust your instincts.
Paragraph E
Decisive people command respect because they know what they think. You may think it’s amusing to
have a reputation for being indecisive, but eventually you’ll drive others mad. Indecisive people lack
personal power because they appear unreliable, out of control and even selfish. If you’re always causing
people trouble because you change your mind at the last minute. You’ll seem unreliable. Decisive people
are successful because they make a decision and move on – and if it doesn’t go the way they planned,
they make the best of it.
Your answers:
A. V
We have to make choices everyday of our lives
B. II
Their advice may sound sensible, but if your heart says no, it’s not the right choice for you. Learning to
make your own mind up is about becoming an adult. … but as we grow up we take responsibility for
ourselves. However, grabbing the power to make decision for ourselves means taking responsibility for
the consequences- even when things go wrong.
C. III
People become indecisive because they don’t want to do the wrong thing.
D. IV
But the fact is that there is an element of chance in every decision, so often our gut feelings are the only
thing we have got to guide us…. So stop trying to predict the future and trust your instincts.
E. I
Decisive people command respect because they know what they think. Indecisive people lack personal
power because they appear unreliable, out of control and even selfish.
