PART C. READING (5.0 points)

I. Read the following passage, then choose the best answer. Circle A, B, C or D to indicate your
answers. (1.0 point)
Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds. When this short amount of
time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there
in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the
sensory storage area. The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to
pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory.
There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The most accepted
theory comes from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can
remember approximately seven chunks of information. A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of
information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number. Modern theorists suggest
that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking, or classifying similar
information together. By organizing information, one can optimize the STM, and improve the
chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage.
When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many
people engage in "rote rehearsal". By repeating something over and over again, one is able to keep a
memory alive. Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no
interruptions. As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear.
When a pen and paper are not handy, people often attempt to remember a phone number by
repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before a person has the
opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the number instantly. Therefore, rote rehearsal
is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long term memory. A better way is

Trang 3/10 - Mã đề thi 646

to practice "elaborate rehearsal". This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information
so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories.
Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can be
done by recognition or recall. Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the long term
memory and used often; however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved
by prompting. The more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be
retrieved. This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of
memorization.

Question 1: According to the passage, how do memories get transferred to the STM?
A.They revert from the long term memory.
B.They get chunked when they enter the brain.
C.They enter via the nervous system.
D.They are filtered from the sensory storage area.

B. Multiple choice exams are the most difficult.
C. The working memory is the same as the short term memory.

II. Read the following passage, then choose the best answer. Circle A, B, C or D to indicate your
answers. (2.0 points)
There are only a few clues in the rock record about climate in the Proterozoiccon (liên đại
nguyên sinh). Much of our information about climate in the more recent periods of geologic history
comes from the fossil record, because we have a reasonably good understanding of the types of the
environment in which many fossil organisms flourished. The scarce fossils of the Proterozoic, mostly
single- celled bacteria, provide little evidence in this regard. However, the rocks themselves do include
the earliest evidence for glaciation (sự đóng băng), probably a global ice age.
The inference that some types of sedimentary rocks are the result of glacial activity is based on
the principle of uniformitarianism (học thuyết về tính đồng nhất), which posits (ấn định, thừa nhận) that
natural processes now at work on and within the Earth operated in the same manner in the distant past.
The deposits associated with present- day glaciers have been well studied, and some of their
charateristics are quite distinctive. In 2.3 – billion – year- old rocks in Canada near Lake Horon ( dating
from the early part of the Proterozoic age), there are thin laminae (cán mỏng, dàn mỏng) of fine- grained
sediments (các lớp trầm tích) that resemble varves (trầm tích), the annual layers of sediment deposited
in glacial lakes. Typically, present- day varves show two layered annual cycle, one layer corresponding
to the rapid ice melting and sediment transport of the summer season, and the other, finer- grained,
layer corresponding to slower winter deposition. Although it is not easy to discern such details in the
Proterozoic examples, they are almost certainly glacial varves. These fine- grained sediments even
contain occasional large pebbles (đá cuội, sỏi) or “ dropstones”, a characteristic feature of glacial
environments where coarse material is sometimes carried on floating ice and dropped far from its
source, into otherwise very fine grained (hạt tán nhỏ) sediment. Glacial sediments of about the same age
as those in Canada have been found in other parts of North Amerca and in Africa, India, and Europe.
This indicates that the glaciation was global, and that for a period of time in the early Proterozoic the
Earth was gripped (kìm chặt) in an ice age. To be gripped with a fever: bị cơn sốt đeo bám
Following the early Proterozoic glaciation, however, the climate appears to have been fairly
benign for a very long time. There is no evidence for glaciation for the next 1.5 billion years or so.
Then, suddenly, the rock record indicates a series of Glacial episodes between about 850 and 600
million years ago, near the end of the Proterozoiccon.
1. Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How patterns in rock layers have been used to construct theories about the climate of the Proterozoic
age.
B. What some rare fossils indicate about glacial conditions during the late Proterozoic age.
C. The varying characteristics of Proterozoic glacial varves in different parts of the world.
D. The number of glacial episodes that the Earth has experienced since Proterozoic age.
2. According to the passage, the fossil record of the Proterozoiccon is ……………….
A. highly regarded because it preserves the remains of many kind of organisms
B. less informative than the fossil record of more recent periods.
C. very difficult to interpret due to damage from bacteria
D. more useful to researchers than other aspects of the rock record
3. The word “ scarce” in line 4 is closest in meaning to…………………..
A. ancient B. tiny C. available D. rare
4. It can be inferred from the passage that the principle of uniformitarianism indicates that……….
A. similar conditions produce similar rock formations
B. rock layers in a given region remain undisturbed over time
C. different kinds of sedimetary rocks may
D. each continent has its own distinctive pattern of sediment layers
5. The word “ resemble” in line 12 is closest in meaning to …………

A. the glacial environment has been unusually server
B. the fine- grained sediment has built up very slowly
C. there has been a global ice age
D. coarse rock material has been carried great distances
9. Why does the author mention Canada, North Amerca , Africa, India, and Europe in line 21 -22?

B. To demonstrate the global spread of dropstones
C. To explain the principles of varve formation
D. To illustrate the varied climatic changes of the Proterozoiccon in different parts of the globe.

Để nuôi dạy con, nhiều phẩm chất cần thiết. Cũng như các yêu cầu thông thường như tình
yêu, sự kiên nhẫn, và sự hiểu biết, một cảm giác hài hước là một tính năng quan trọng của
tính cách nào của cha mẹ. Trong thực tế, nó là khá một nghệ thuật để chuyển đổi tâm trạng
xấu của một đứa trẻ vào hành vi của mọi người trong gia đình có thể sống với.
Một khía cạnh khác của con nuôi dạy con cái giới hạn và quy tắc. Điều này có nghĩa là đứa trẻ cần phải
nhận thức được những gì mình hay quyền lợi của mình và những gì người khác cũng thế. Thiết lập các

trên một cơ sở hàng ngày. Các biện pháp tạm thời không đạt được bất cứ điều gì nhưng chỉ lãng phí thời
gian. Một sai lầm phổ biến,
tuy nhiên, đến nay đang được chặt chẽ hơn mức cần thiết. Cha mẹ phải sẵn sàng để cho phép con cái
của họ có cơ hội để khám phá và học hỏi từ kinh nghiệm.
Hơn nữa, hầu hết các bậc cha mẹ phải biết tầm quan trọng của thói quen như nó được sử dụng trẻ em
vào các hoạt động nhất định hàng ngày. Ví dụ, ăn cùng một lúc với cha mẹ của họ được họ vào các thói
quen ngồi ở một cái bàn và dạy họ làm thế nào để tiến hành tự động. Nhìn chung, nuôi dạy con cái là
nhiệm vụ không dễ dàng, nhưng nó chắc chắn là một thách thức và kinh nghiệm học tập.

 II. Write an essay of 200-220 words. (2 points)
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
“ Parents always know what is the best for their children”
Support your response by using specific reasons and examples.

People cannot answer the question “Are parents the best teacher?” Some people think that
parents are our teachers in all life while someone has an opinion that parents are role with our
life but are not the best teacher.

- First, parents are our first teachers. It cannot say anything to deny about that. They know us
before we were born. They take care of us from when we started our life. They teach us how
to walk, to speak, to do every simple thing that we now do not notice.

- Second, parents have more experiments than us because of their ages. They are the most
closet people with us therefore they know us the best. They are who get us the best advices.
Experiments, understandings, closeness and loves make them become good teachers.

- However, in some case, parents are not the good teachers. Their loves with their children
make them be not strict enough to become teachers. Moreover, they hardly teach with the
generation gap. They do not have any knowledge about the teenager.

- Furthermore, life has something special that nobody can teach. Children must learn it by
themselves, from life or friends. Parents, because worry for them, may stop them and never
get any freedom for their children. They do everything that keeps them safe.

In conclusion, parents are great but cannot become the best teachers. They can be our partners
to help us through the dangerous. They are our first teachers but are not our best teacher
forever.
