BÀI TẬP ĐỌC HIỂU EXERCISE 1: 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. Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that body languages varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In other cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect. Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In North America people don’t generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two North Americans who don’t know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas South Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them. Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or move any other part of the body - to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean that people all over the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same gestures can communicate different meanings, depending on the country. An example of a gesture that could be misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some places it communicates ridicule. The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough to learn the language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate successfully. (Adapted from “Reading Academic English” by Judy Rapoport, Ronit Broder and Sarah Feingold) Question 1. What is the passage mainly about? Misunderstandings in communication.

The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental destruction, is changing the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the movement is growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of new technology. Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps. Also, they reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One way is to provide an alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Once installed, they provide energy at no cost and with no pollution. Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut electricity use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs. To reduce the amount of fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so that the building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer. One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most environmentally responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and building had to consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees and the need to lessen the negative environmental impact. 75 percent of the building materials were recycled materials, and the energy use has been reduced by 43 percent and water use by 32 percent, compared with other buildings of the same size. In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed according to green building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was once the site of army housing. The site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30 percent less energy than conventional ones. These houses, heated by special non-polluting systems, are also equipped with solar panels. A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include houses for 400 families built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation. In a second phase, entire neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas in new neighborhoods across China. Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies, and governments are beginning to see their benefits. Not only are they environmentally friendly, green buildings improve living and working conditions and also save money in the long run. (Adapted from “Advanced Reading Power” by Beatrice S. Mikulecky and Linda Jeffries) Question 8. Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss? New technologies applied to constructing office buildings. Successful green building projects all over the world. An environmentally friendly approach to constructing buildings. Economic benefits of environmentally responsible buildings. Question 9. According to paragraph 1, the environmental goals set by green builders were initially considered unrealistic presumably because . there was an abundance of natural materials for the construction of conventional buildings. there was a lack of green builders at the beginning of the 20th century. the problems of environment destruction were not prevalent at the time. the potential applications of technology to constructing green buildings were not recognised then. Question 10. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to . A. recycled materials. B. green builders. C. rays of the sun. D. solar panels. Question 11. The word “insulation” in paragraph 3 mostly means . systems that protect buildings from the sun’s rays. materials that prevent heat loss and absorption. panels that convert solar energy into electricity. devices that monitor changes in temperature. Question 12. What is one common characteristic shared by the Genzyme Center of Cambridge and the project in Vauban, Germany? Both took advantage of new insulation technology, which cuts down on construction costs. Both were built out of entirely recycled materials instead of conventional ones. Both are housing complexes with special, non-polluting heating systems. Both were built based on green building principles, which reduces energy use considerably. Question 13. The phrase “under way” in paragraph 6 mostly means . A. being notified. B. being launched. C. being inspected. D. being certified. Question 14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 7 as a merit of green buildings? A. Improving living conditions. B. Proving more economical eventually. C. Being friendly to the environment. D. Increasing work productivity. Question 15. According to the passage, which of the following statements about green buildings is TRUE? They have only been built in technologically developed countries. They are gaining in popularity in different parts of the world. They are environmentally responsible constructions with gardens. They are more economical and produce no pollution. BỘ ĐỀ THI THỬ 2019 TIẾNG ANH LOVEBOOK – ĐỀ SỐ 1 Exercise 3: 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. When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they look. And of course, we too are being judged on our appearance. Undoubtedly, it’s what’s inside that’s important but sometimes we can send out the wrong signals and so get a negative reaction, simply by wearing inappropriate clothing. When selecting your clothes each day, it is therefore important to think about who you’re likely to meet, where you are going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly, on a practical level, some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will dictate your choice to an extent. However, there’s no need to abandon your individual taste completely. After all, if you dress to please somebody else’s idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself. Some colours bring your natural colouring to life and others can give you a washed-out appearance. Try out new ones by all means, but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtle neutral tones or vice versa will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. You know deep down where your own taste boundaries lie. It may be fun to cross these sometimes, but do take care not to go too far all at once. Reappraising your image isn’t selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit. You’ll look better and you’ll feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to read Professor Albert Mehrabian’s book Silent Messages, which showed that the impact we make on each other depends 55 percent on how we look and behave, 38 percent on how we speak, and only seven percent on what we actually say. (Adapter from “Expert First” by Jan Bell and Roger Gower) Question 16. Which could be the best title for the passage? Choosing Appropriate Business Suits Making Judgements about People’s Appearance Making Your Image Work for You Creating a Professional Image Question17. According to paragraph 1, people can get a negative reaction from others by . A. talking about other people’s behaviours. B. sending out right signals. C. wearing inappropriate clothes. D. expressing too strong emotions. Question 18. The word “outfits” in paragraph 2 mostly means . A. sets of clothes. B. types of signals. C. types of gestures. D. sets of equipment. Question 19. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 as a factor to be considered when choosing clothes? A. Places you spend time in. B. Other people’s views on beauty. C. Kinds of tasks you perform. D. People you meet. Question 20. The word “others” in paragraph 3 refers to . A. neutral tones. B. taste boundaries. C. colours. D. means. Question 21.

According to Professor Albert Mehrabian, the impact we make on each other depends mainly on . A. how we speak. B. how we look and behave. C. what we read. D. what we actually say. BỘ ĐỀ THI THỬ 2019 TIẾNG ANH LOVEBOOK – ĐỀ SỐ 2 Exercise 4: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. While watching sports on TV, the chances are children will see professional players cheating, having tantrums, fighting, or abusing officials. In addition, it’s highly likely that children will be aware of well-known cases of sportspeople being caught using drugs to improve their performance. The danger of all this is that it could give children the idea that winning is all that counts and you should win at all costs. Good behavior and fair play aren’t the message that comes across. Instead, it looks as if cheating and bad behavior are reasonable ways of getting what you want. This message is further bolstered by the fact that some of these sportspeople acquire enormous fame and wealth, making it seem they are being handsomely rewarded either despite or because of their bad behavior. What can parents do about this? They can regard sport on television as an opportunity to discuss attitudes and behavior with their children. When watching sports together, if parents see a player swearing at the referee, they can get the child’s opinion on that behavior and discuss whether a player’s skill is more important than their behavior. Ask what the child thinks the player’s contribution to the team is. Point out that no player can win a team game on their own, so it’s important for members to work well together. Another thing to focus on is what the commentators say. Do they frown on bad behavior from players, think it’s amusing or even consider it’s a good thing? What about the officials? If they let players get away with a clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect it has on the game. Look too at the reactions of coaches and managers. Do they accept losing with good grace or scowl and show a bad attitude? Parents can use this to talk about attitudes to winning and losing and to remind children that both are part of sport. However, what children learn from watching sports is by no means all negative and parents should make sure they accentuate the positives too. They should emphasise to children the high reputation that well-behaved players have, not just with their teammates but also with spectators and the media. They can focus on the contribution made by such players during a game, discussing how valuable they are in the team. In the interviews after a game, point out to a child that the well-behaved sportspeople don’t gloat when they win or sulk when they lose. And parents can stress how well these people conduct themselves in their personal lives and the good work they do for others when not playing. In other words, parents should get their children to focus on the positive role models, rather than the antics of the badly behaved but often more publicized players. (Adapter from “New English File – Advanced” by Will Maddox) Question 23. Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss? The importance of team spirit in sport The influence of model sportspeople on children Moral lessons for children from watching sports Different attitudes toward bad behavior in sport Question 24. The word “bolstered” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . A. inspired. B. represented. C. energized. D. reinforced. Question 25. According to paragraph 1, misconduct exhibited by players may lead children to think that . A. it is an acceptable way to win the game. B. it is necessary in almost any game. C. it brings about undesirable results. D. it is disadvantagesous to all concerned. Question 26. According to paragraph 2, what should parents teach their children through watching sports? Cheating is frowned upon by the majority of players. A team with badly-behaved players will not win a game. A player’s performance is of greater value than his behavior. Collaboration is fundamental to any team’s success. Question 27. The word “accentuate” in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by . A. highlight. B. embolden. C. consolidate. D. actualize. Question28 . The word “They” in paragraph 4 refers to . A. children. B. spectators. C. teammates. D. parents. Question 29. Which of the following about sport is NOT mentioned in the passage? Misconduct from sportspeople may go unpunished despite the presence of officials. A well-behaved player enjoys a good reputation among his teammates, spectators and the media. Reactions of coaches and managers when their teams lose a game may be of educational value. Many sportspeople help others so as to project good images of themselves. Question 30. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? The media tend to turn the spotlight more on sportspeople’s wrongdoings than on their good deeds. The well-behaved players in a game invariably display desirable conducts when not playing. Players with good attitudes make a greater contribution to their teams’ budgets than others. Well-mannered players sometimes display strong emotions after winning or losing a game. BỘ ĐỀ THI THỬ 2019 TIẾNG ANH LOVEBOOK – ĐỀ SỐ 2 Exercise 5: 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. A letter of application is a sales letter in which you are both salesperson and product, for the purpose of an application is to attract an employer’s attention and persuade him or her to grant you an interview. To do this, the letter presents what you can offer the employer, rather than what you want from the job. Like a resume, the letter of application is a sample of your work and an opportunity to demonstrate your skills and personality. If it is written with flair and understanding and prepared with prefessional care, it is likely to be very effective. While the resume must be factual, objective, and brief, the letter is your chance to interpret and expand. It should state explicitly how your background relates to the specific job, and it should emphasise your strongest and most relevant characteristics. The letter should demonstrate that you know both yourself and the company. The letter of application must communicate your ambition and enthusiasm. Yet it must be modest. It should be neither aggressive nor compliant: neither pat yourself on the back nor ask for sympathy. It should never express dissatisfaction with the present or former job or employer. And you should avoid discussing your reasons for leaving your last job. Finally, it is best that you not broach the subject on salary. Indeed, even if a job advertisement requires that you mention your salary requirements, it is advisable simply to call them “negotiable.” However, when you go on an interview, you should be prepared to mention a salary range. For this reason, you should investigate both your field and, if possible, the particular company. You don’t want to ask for less than you deserve or more than is reasonable. (Adapted from “Select Readings – Intermediate” by Linda Lee and Erik Gundersen) Question 31. What is the passage mainly about? Things to avoid during a job interview. Advice on how to find a good job. Tips for writing an effective letter of application. Differences between a resume and a letter of application. Question 32. According to paragraph 1, in a letter of application, the applicant tries to . advertise a product to attract more customers. present what he/she wants from the job. persuade the employer to grant him/her an interview. get further information about the company. Question 33. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to . A. the resume. B. an opportunity. C. the letter of application. D. your work. Question 34. The word “explicitly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to . A. clearly. B. slightly. C. quickly. D. shortly. Question 35. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about a letter of application? It should be written very briefly, but in a formal style. It should refer to the applicant’s reasons for leaving his/her previous job. It should expand upon the information contained in the applicant’s resume. It should express the applicant’s dissatisfaction with his/her former employer. Question 36. The word “broach” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to . A. investigate. B. understand. C. introduce. D. avoid. Question 37. According to paragraph 4, in a job interview, the applicant should be ready to . A. mention their expected salary range. B. talk about the company’s budget. C. negotiate working conditions. D. accept and salary offered.

Henry is the undisputed star of Dronfield School near Sheffield. Whatever the achievements of other members of the comprehensive school, it is Henry, with his soulful eyes and glossy hair, who has hogged the limelight, appearing on television in Britain and abroad. Yet despite all the public adulation, Henry stirs up no envy or resentment among the 2000 students – in fact, they all adore him. The dog, who first arrived six months ago, is a super dog, who has improved students’ behaviour and encouraged more students to focus on their academic achievement. Andrew Wainwright, a student at Dronfield School, says there is something magical and calming about being able to interact with Henry during his time at the school’s catch-up classes, and that if he falls behind, that opportunity will be denied. Even doubting staff have finally been won round. Perhaps that is because Henry, who lies on the floor during staff meetings, has also had a calming effect on them. It was Andrew’s teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposed buying a school dog. “Julie and I were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively affect children’s conduct,” says Brown. “We did some research and discovered that the presence of pets has been shown to be therapeutic. A number of studies have shown that animals improve recovery after surgery or illness and have a calming influence on people in a lot of settings. Some of my kids can be a handful and some of the children Julie counsels have terrible problems.” Could the school dog become a craze? Other schools such as the Mulberry Bush, a primary school for children with behavioural problems, have stepped forward to point out they already have one. Rosie Johnston, a Mulberry staff member has been bringing her golden retriever, Muskoka, into school for three years. Apart from being a calming influence, Muskoka even plays his part in literacy lessons. Children at the school can be too shy to read to adults so they read to Muskoka. “Their anxiety about mispronouncing something or getting the words in the wrong order is reduced when they read to him,” says Johnston. Psychologist Dr Deborah Wells from Queen's University Belfast specialises in animal-human interaction. She believes that the underlying key to the Henry effect is that dogs offer unconditional love and that cheers up adults and children and helps with self-esteem. But traditionalist Chris Woodhead, the former chief inspector of schools says, “I don’t see why a teacher cannot create a positive learning environment through the subject they teach and their personality. Dogs strike me as a bit of a publicity stunt. It’s the kind of sentimental story journalists love.” Despite this sentiment, Henry remains as popular as ever.
