(man) Artist Grant Wood was a guiding force in the school of painting known as American regionalist, a style reflecting
the distinctive characteristics of art from rural areas of the United States. Wood began drawing animals on the family
farm at the age of three, and when he was thirty-eight one of his paintings received a remarkable amount of public
notice and acclaim. This painting, called “American Gothic,” is a starkly simple depiction of a serious couple staring
directly out at the viewer.
The best answer to the question “What style of painting is known as American regionalist?" is (D), "Art from rural sections
of America." Therefore, the correct choice is (D).
The best answer to the question, "What is the name of Wood's most successful painting?" is (C), “American Gothic.”
Therefore, the correct choice is (C).
Remember, you are not allowed to take notes or write in your test book.

QUESTIONS 41 to 50
Đúng
The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than an
Đạt điểm 10,00
trên 10,00 American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to
believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups, but today
diversity is even more obvious.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the
traditional mold of two parents and their children, and another third consists of married couples who either have no
children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American
households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total,
consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single parents, with at least
one child.
There are several reasons for the growing number of single-parent households. First, the number of births to
unmarried women has increased dramatically. In addition, a substantial number of adults become single parents as a result
of divorce. Finally, a small percentage of deaths result in single-parent families. Today, these varied family types are typical,
and therefore, normal.
In addition, close friends have become a more important part of family life than ever before. The vast majority of
Americans claim that they have people in their lives whom they regard as family although they are not related. A view of
family that only accepts the traditional nuclear arrangement not only ignores the reality of modern American family life,
but also undervalues the familial bonds created in alternative family arrangements. Apparently, many Americans are
achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one.
A. there have always been a wide variety of family arrangements in the United Sates
B. racial, ethnic, and religious groups have preserved the traditional family structure
43. The underlined word “current” could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. typical
B. present
C. perfect
D. traditional
44. According to the passage, married couples whose children have grown or who have no children represent
B. 20 percent of households
C. 7 percent of households
D. 3 percent of households
A. parents
B. children
C. couples
D. families
B. An elderly man
D. A divorced woman
48. The underlined phrase “the rest” could best be replaced by ________.
B. those remaining
C. a small number
D. a significant group
A. parents

C. couples
D. Americans

The Richter scale is a numerical logarithmic developed and introduced by American seismologist Charles R. Richter in 1935.
Đạt điểm 10,00
trên 10,00 The purpose of the scale is to measure the amplitude of the largest trace recorded by a standard seismograph one
hundred kilometers from the epicenter of an earthquake. Tables have been formulated to demonstrate the magnitude of
any earthquake from any seismograph. For example, for a one-unit increase in magnitude, there is an increase of times
thirty in released energy. To put that another way, each number on the Richter scale represents an earthquake ten times as
strong as one of the next lower magnitude. Specifically, an earthquake of magnitude 6 is ten times as strong as an
earthquake of magnitude 5.
The Richter scale considers earthquakes of 6.75 as great and 7.0 to 7.75 as major. An earthquake that reads 4 to 5.5
would be expected to cause localized damage, and those of magnitude 2 may be felt. It is estimated that almost one
million earthquakes occur each year, but most of them are so minor that they pass undetected . In fact, more than one
thousand earthquakes of a magnitude of 2 or less occur every day.
A. Earthquakes
C. Charles F. Richter
D. Seismography
52. In what kind of textbook would this passage most likely be found?

D. abandoned

Course numbers are an indication of which courses are open to various categories of students at the University.
Đạt điểm 10,00
trên 10,00 Undergraduate courses with the numbers 100 or 200 are generally introductory courses appropriate for freshmen or
sophomores, whereas courses with the numbers 300 or 400 often have prerequisites and are open to juniors and seniors
only. Courses with the numbers 800 or above are open only to graduate students. Certain graduate courses, generally
those devoted to introductory material, are numbered 400 for undergraduate students who qualify to take them and 600
for graduate students. Courses designed for students seeking a professional degree carry a 500 number for undergraduate
students and a 700 number for graduate students. Courses numbered 99 or below are special interest courses that do not
carry academic credit. If students elect to take a special interest course, it will not count toward the number of hours
needed to complete graduation requirements.
A full-time undergraduate student is expected to take courses that total twelve to eighteen credit hours. A full-time
graduate student is expected to take courses that total ten to sixteen credit hours. Students holding assistantships are
expected to enroll for proportionately fewer hours. A part-time graduate student may register for a minimum of three
credit hours. An overload, that is, more than the maximum number of hours, may be taken with the approval of an
academic advisor. To register for an overload, students must submit the appropriate approval form when registering.
Overloads above 24 hours will not be approved under any circumstances.

QUESTIONS 71 to 80
Đúng
Noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is another environmental pollutant. Particularly in congested urban areas,
Đạt điểm 10,00
trên 10,00 the noise produced as a byproduct of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts
from the quality of life for those who are exposed to it.
Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates without protection. Loud noises instinctively signal
danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration
accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning
brought about by 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 none of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well. In
addition, the psychic effect of noise is very important. Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase, affecting the
quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during waking hours.
A. Noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological health.
A. Unwanted sound
B. A byproduct of technology
D. Congestion
