Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating
without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The
basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, for
example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for
communication is really great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in
and of themselves. A stop sign or barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are
more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the
receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some culture, applauding in a theater provides performers with an
auditory’ symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also convey certain cultural
messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage. They
usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As a
result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based
upon speech. Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few.
Question 28: All of the following are true EXCEPT .
A. Signal, symbols, signs and gestures are found in every culture.
B. Signal, symbols, signs and gestures are very useful.
C. Signal, symbols, signs and gestures also have some disadvantage.
D. Signal, symbols, signs and gestures are only used for long distance contact.
Question 29: What does the author say about the speech?
A. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.
B. It is the only true form of communication.
C. It is necessary for communication to occur.
D. It is the most advanced form of communication.
Question 30: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Gestures B. Communication C. Signs and signals D. Speech
Question 31: The phrase “impinge upon’’ in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
A. affect B. vary C. prohibit D. improve
Question 32: The word “it” in paragraph I refers to
A. way B. environment C. speech D. signal
Question 33: Applauding was cited as an example of
A. a symbol B. a signal C. a sign D. a gesture
Question 34: Why were the telephone, radio, and the television invented?

Trang
 B. Because people wanted new forms of communication.
C. Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete.

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.
The concept of being environmentally conscious, or “green,” has become more prevalent in twenty
first-century U.S. culture. It has begun to affect the manufacturing of everything from non-toxic
household cleaning products to motor vehicles powered by alternative sources of energy. However, one
way of being “green” that is perhaps not as apparent to the viewer but of equal importance in being
environmentally conscious, is the construction of buildings that are considered “sustainable.” Sustainable
buildings are those that do not impose on the environment or rely on the over-utilization of energy or
natural resources. There are four main principles of sustainability, which include consideration of the
health and stability of all living things and their environmental diversity, as well as the economic
opportunities of humanity.
Sustainable architecture consists of environmentally conscious design techniques. In the past, the
demolition of an old building meant that all or most of the debris of the building would end up in a
landfill or a waste disposal site. Today, architects can plan and design a building that uses recycled
materials, such as wood, concrete, stone, or metal. These materials are salvaged from the demolition of
an older building and can be appropriately incorporated into a new construction. Architects and
construction supervisors may also choose to recycle more organic parts of demolished buildings, such as
wooden doors, windows and other glass, ceramics, paper, and textiles.
A problem that has often arisen has been with how a site crew-whether it is demolition or construction
crew determines and sorts what is “waste” and what is recyclable. Architects and environmental scientists
have to decide whether or not a material is appropriate for use in new construction and how it will impact
the environment. They must evaluate the materials from the demolition and determine what those
materials contain, and if they meet the standards set by the U.S. government’s Environmental Protection
Agency (the EPA). If the debris from the demolition contains hazardous materials that are harmful to the
environment or to the consumer, such as asbestos, then the material is not salvageable. Use of asbestos for
insulation and as a form of fire retardation in buildings and fabrics was common in the nineteenth
century. Asbestos was once used in shingles on the sides of old buildings, as well as in the insulation in
the interior walls of homes or other construction. In new “green” construction, insulation that was once
asbestos-based can be replaced with recycled denim or constructed with cellulose-a fibrous material
found in paper products. The same assessment applies to wood or wallboard painted with toxic lead-based
paints. In addition, gas-flow regulators and meters on both water and gas heating systems constructed
prior to 1961 must be carefully evaluated to determine that they do not contain dangerous substances such
as mercury. Mercury can be harmful to humans and the environment if it is spilled during the removal of
these devices.
