Section 3. Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate

A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides
information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys
are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during campaigns
presidential knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United
5 States.

North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street” interviews on local
television news shows. While (2) such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not
necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only
10 those people who appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of
commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the news-
people select. Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to
appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera. A
survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad
15 range of the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, (5) sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of
questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to
understand it. It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the
results. Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the
20 type of information desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if
the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms
of survey research has its advantages. An interviewer (9) can obtain a high response rate
because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to
25 (8) throw away a written questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written
questions and probe for a subject's underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires
have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent.

1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The history of surveys in North America
B. The principles of conducting surveys
C Problems associated with interpreting surveys
D. The importance of polls in American political life
2. The word "they" in line 9 refers to_______.
A. North Americans B. news shows C. interviews D. opinions
3. According to the passage, the main disadvantage of person-on-the-street interviews is that they ……
A. are not based on a representative sampling
B. are used only on television
C. are not carefully worded
D. reflect political opinions
4. Which of the following terms is defined in the passage?
9
Giải thích chi tiết Destination B2, C1C2 (LH Zalo: 0899643458)

A. Survey B. Public opinion

C. Representative sampling D. Response rate
5. According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey?
A. A high number of respondents
B. Carefully worded questions
C. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings
D. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results
6. The word "exercise" in line 16 is closest in meaning to_______.
A. utilize B. consider C. design D. defend
Utilize: làm việc gì
Consider: cân nhắc
Design: thiết kế
Defend: bảo vệ

A. compose B. rule out C. predict D. bring out
Elicit ~ bring out: làm gợi ra, khám phá ra
Compose: soạn
Rule out: ngăn ngừa
Predict: tiên đoán
8. It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become frustrated with
questionnaires is that_______.
A. respondents often do not complete and return questionnaires
B. questionnaires are often difficult to read
C. questionnaires are expensive and difficult to distribute
D. respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions
9. According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over questionnaires is that live interviews-
_______.
A. cost less B. can produce more information
C. are easier to interpret D. minimize the influence of the researcher
10. The word "probe" in line 27 is closest in meaning to_______.
A. explore B. influence C. analyze D. apply

Section 4. Read the text carefully and then choose the correct answers.
IS TECHNOLOGY HARMING OUR CHILDREN’S HEALTH?
Technology is moving at such a breakneck speed that it is enough to make your head spin. It can be
difficult to keep up. However, with each new technological marvel come consequences. Much of the research
conducted has shown the extent of the damage being done to our health by technology. It is a scary thought,
and with teenagers and children being heavy consumers and users of these gadgets, they run the risk of being
harmed the most.
The digital revolution in music has enabled people to download, store and listen to songs on a tiny,
portable device called an MP3 player. The process is quick and afterwards you can have access to a library of
thousands of songs that can fit into your palm. But experts say that continuously listening to loud music on
these small music players can permanently damage hair cells in the inner ear, resulting in hearing loss. For
instance, old-fashioned (1) headphones have been replaced with smaller ones that fit neatly into the ear, instead
of over them, which intensifies the sound. In addition to that, (2) digital music does not distort and keeps its
crystal clear sound, even on loud settings, which encourages children to crank up (3) the volume. Combine
that with the fact that many children will spend hours listening to their iPods, and you have the recipe for
hearing loss. Put into further perspective, most MP3 players can reach levels of (4) 120 decibels, which is
louder than a chainsaw or lawnmover. When you consider 85 decibels is the maximum (5) safe decibel level
set by hearing experts over the course of a working day, and that children will listen to music at higher decibel
levels than that for long periods of time, hearing will invariably suffer.
Apart from hearing damage, there are other serious health risks. We are living in a wireless age. Calls
can be made and received on mobiles from anywhere and the internet can be accessed without the need for
cables. The advantages are enormous, bringing ease and convenience to our lives. It is clear that mobiles and
wireless technology are here to stay but we are paying the price for the new technology? Studies have shown
that the rapid expansion in the use of wireless technology has brought with it a new form of radiation called
‘electropollution’.
Compared to two generations ago, we are exposed to 100 million times more radiation. The human
body consists of trillions of cells which use faint electromagnetic signals to communicate with each other, so
that the necessary biological and physiological changes can happen. It is a delicate, natural balance. But this
balance is being upset by the constant exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that we face in our daily
lives and it is playing havoc with our bodies. EMR can disrupt and alter the way in which our cells
communicate and this can result in abnormal cell behaviour. Some studies have shown that exposure to
wireless technology can affect our enzyme production, immune systems, nervous system and even our moods
and behaviour. The most dangerous part of the phone is around the antenna. This area emits extremely potent
radiation which has been shown to cause genetic damage and an increase in the risk of cancer.

Giải thích chi tiết Destination B2, C1C2 (LH Zalo: 0899643458)

Research shows that teenagers and young adults are the largest group of mobile phone users. According
to a recent Eurobarometer survey, 70 percent of Europeans aged 12-13 own a mobile phone and the number
of children five to nine years old owning mobiles has greatly increased over the years. Children are especially
vulnerable because their brain and nervous systems are not as immune to attack as adults. Sir William Stewart,
chairman of the National Radiological Protection Board, says there is mounting evidence to prove the harmful
effects of wireless technologies and that families should monitor their children’s use of them.
Besides the physical and biological, technology can also have serious mental implications for children.
It can be the cause of severe, addictive behaviour. In one case, two children had to be admitted into a mental
health clinic in Northern Spain because of their addiction to mobile phones. An average of six hours a day
would be spent talking, texting and playing games on their phones. The children could not be separated from
their phones and showed disturbed behaviour that was making them fail at school. They regularly deceived
family members to obtain money to buy phone cards to fund their destructive habit. There have been other
cases of phone addiction like this.
Technology may also be changing our brain patterns. Professor Greenfield, a top specialist in brain
development, says that, thanks to technology, teenage minds are developing differently from those of previous
generations. Her main concern is over computer games. She claims that living in a virtual world where actions
are rewarded without needing to think about the moral implications makes young people “lose awareness of
who they are”. She claims that technology brings a decline in linguistic creativity.
As technology keeps moving at a rapid pace and everyone clamours for the new must-have gadget of
the moment, we cannot easily perceive the long-term effects on our health. Unfortunately, it is the most
vulnerable members of our society that will be affected.
