Probably the most famous film commenting on twentieth-century technology is Modem Times, (34) in 1936. Charlie
Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened to describe working conditions in industrial
Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines. Within four or five
years, these young men’s health was ruined by the stress of work in the factories.
Scenes of factory interiors account for only about (35) of the footage of Modern Times, but they contain some of the
most pointed social commentary as well as the most comic situations. No one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying
to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost losing his mind in the process. Another popular scene involves an automatic
feeding machine brought to the assembly line (36) workers need not interrupt their labor to eat. The feeding machine
malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin who is strapped into his position on the assembly line and cannot escape. This serves to illustrate
people’s utter (37) in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic needs. Clearly, Modern Times has its
faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a social context. It does not offer a radical social message, but it does (38)
reflect the sentiments of many who feel they are victims of an over-mechanized world.
Question 34. A. make B. making C. made D. to make

Question 35. A. first third B. first three C. one three D. one third
Question 36. A. so that B. therefore C. in order to D. thus
Question 37. A.meaninglessnessB. meaningfulness C. helplessness D. helpfulness
Question 38. A. exactly B. accurately C. nearly D. approximately
35. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 39 to 43.
In the past, technology and progress was very slow. People “invented” farming 12,000 years ago but it took 8,000 years for the idea to go
around the world. Then, about 3,500 years ago, people called “potters” used round wheels to turn and make plates. But it took hundreds of
years before some clever person thought, if we join two wheels together and make them bigger, we can use them to move things
In the last few centuries, things have begun to move faster. Take a 20th-century invention like the aeroplane, for example. The first
acroplane flight on 17 December 1903 only lasted 12 seconds, and the plane only went 37 metres. It can't have been very exciting to
watch, but that flight changed the world. Sixteen years later, the first plane flew across the Atlantic, and only fifty years after that, men
walked on the moon. Technology is now changing our world faster and faster. So what will the future bring?
One of the first changes will be the materials we use. Scientists have just invented an amazing new material called graphene, and soon we
will use it to do lots of things. With graphene batteries in your mobile, it will take a few seconds to charge your phone or download a
thousand gigabytes of information! Today, we make most products in factories, but in the future, scientists will invent living materials.
Then we won't make things like cars and furniture in factories - we will grow them!
Thirty years ago, people couldn't have imagined social media like Twitter and Facebook. Now we can't llve without them. But this is only
the start. Right now, scientists are putting microchips in some disabled people's brains, to help them see, hear and communicate better. In
the future, we may all use these technologies. We won't need smartphones to use social media or search the internet because the internet
will be in our heads!
More people will go into space in the future, too. Space tourism has already begun, and a hundred years from now, there may be many
hotels in space. One day, we may get most of our energy from space too. In 1941, the writer Isaac Asimov wrote about a solar power
station in space. People laughed at his idea then, but we should have listened to him. Today, many people are trying to develop a space
solar power station. After all, the sun always shines above the clouds!
Question 39. The writer says that in the past

A. people didn't invent many things
B. people didn't want to use wheels
C. it took time for new ideas to change things
D. most inventions were to do with farming
Question 40. Why does the writer use the example of the aeroplane?
A. To explain why transport changed in the 20th century.
B. To show how an invention developed quickly.
C. To explain how space travel started.
D. Because he thinks it's the most important invention in history.
Question 41. What does the writer say about the future of communication?
A. We can't know what the most popular social media will be.
B. Microchips will become faster.
C. We won't use the internet as much.
D. We won't need devices like smartphones.
Question 42. What does the writer say about space solar power?
A. It's an old idea, but people are only starting to develop it now.
B. It's a science fiction idea, and nobody really thinks it will work.
C. It's much easier to build a solar power station in space than on Earth.
D. People tried it in 1941, but they didn't succeed.

36. 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 44-50.
The attraction of gold is as old as history. Since ancient times, gold has been the object of dreams and obsessions. Western literature is full
of characters who kill for gold or hoard it, from King Midas in the ancient Greek myths, to Fagin in Dickens' Oliver Twist. These
characters go to evil extremes to get or keep their gold and they get the punishment they deserve. Most people would not be willing to go
to such extremes, of course, but they would not question the assumption that gold has lasting value above and beyond any local currency.
Societies change over time, customs and currencies evolve, but gold remains. A wedding ring, for example, must be gold, and so should
any serious gift of jewelry. In fact, giving and wearing gold is still a mark of prestige in our post-industrial society, though gold is no
longer valued as it used to be thousands of years ago.
Why is gold so valuable? True, it is shiny, durable, and rare, but it is far less useful than many other minerals or metals. It is also not like
stock in a company, where the value of the stock depends on the performance of the company. Gold, on the contrary, like any currency, is
valuable precisely because people believe it is valuable. That is, if people were willing to accept seashells for their labor and could use
them to pay for food, fuel, and other commodities, then seashells would become a valuable currency. Thus, the value of gold depends on
the collective belief that gold will continue to be valuable. As long as demand for gold remains steady, the price will hold steady; if
demand is high, it will continue to increase in value. But if people should someday lose faith in gold, the price of gold could fall sharply.
Another factor that has affected the price of gold has been the increasing difficulty in acquiring it. Today, most of the gold left in the
grounds is in microscopic pieces mixed with rock. To get it, miners must dig up tons and tons of rock, and then spray it with chemicals to
separate out the gold. For one ounce of gold - a wedding ring, for example - the mine processes about 30 tons of rock. This is already a
costly operation. But there are also hidden social and environmental costs. The mining and processing of gold is ruinous to the
environment and to the health of people living nearby. Most of these mines are in poor regions where the people have had little voice in
whether there should be mines and how the mines should be run. The large multinational mining companies simply bought the land and
opened the mines. However, as people and governments begin to realize the extent of the damage caused by the mines, the situation might
change. Indeed, if the mining companies ever have to pay the full environmental and social costs of mining gold, the price of gold is likely
to climb yet higher.
Question 44. The word “prestige” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

A. wealth
B. happiness
C. respect and admiration
D. insurance
Question 45. Which of the following is NOT true about gold?

A. It is scarce.

A. demand for gold
B. gold
C. price
D. the value
Question 47. According to the passage what decides the value of gold?
A. The collective belief that gold will continue to be valuable.
B. The constantly high demand for gold.
C. The usefulness of gold.
D. The industrial demand for gold.
Question 48. What does the author believe influences the price of gold on the market?
A. The constant fight for gold.
B. Scarcity of areas where gold can be found.
C. The scarcity of gold.
D. The hardship in acquiring gold.
Question 49. The word "ruinous" is closest meaning to

A. harmful
B. poisonous
C. devastating
D. harmless Trang 5/6
Question 50. Which of the following does author most probably agree with?
A. The government should be better aware of the environmental damage the search for gold creates.
B. Gold companies should increase the price of gold to cover the cost caused by their search for gold.
C. People should devalue gold.
D. The companies should make the search for gold much easier and cheaper.
