A He was one of the first to study the effect of birth order on personality B He believed that it was the actual birth order that affected personality C He had found that the responses by family members had little to with personality D He was the only one to study birth order Question 10: The word traits in paragraph is closest in meaning to x A stresses B marks C characteristics D fears Question 11: Which of the sentences below expresses the essential information in the italic sentence in paragraph 3?

A First-borns tend to well in individual sports B Middle children tend to have a preference for team sports C Last-borns tend to prefer games with fierce competition D Only children tend to prefer individual over team sports Question 14: The phrase more achievement oriented in the paragraph is closest in meaning to A more directly involved B more focused on accomplishments C more skilled as leaders D more aware of surroundings Question 15: Which of the following would be most likely to have a successful career but few close friendships?

Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination Possible solutions to the problem are formulated These possible solutions are called hypotheses In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown It extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories Question 36: Which of the following is the main subject of the passage? A The importance of models in scientific theories B The sorts of facts that scientists find most interesting C The ways that scientists perform different types of experiments D The place of theory and hypothesis in scientific investigation science is more than a collection of facts scientific experiments have led to improved technology mathematicians approach science building a house is like performing experiments Question 42: In the fourth paragraph, the author implies that imagination is most important to scientists when they x A formulate possible solutions to a problem B evaluate previous work on a problem B C close an investigation D gather known facts A B C D Question 43: In paragraph 4, the author refers to a hypothesis as "a leap into the unknown” in order to show that hypotheses x A require effort to formulate B can lead to dangerous results C go beyond available facts D are sometimes ill-conceived Question 44: In the last paragraph, what does the author imply is a major function of hypotheses ? A Linking together different theories B Communicating a scientist's thoughts to others C Providing direction for scientific research D Sifting through known facts Question 45: Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? A Theories are simply imaginary models of past events B A scientist's most difficult task is testing hypotheses C A good scientist needs to be creative D It is better to revise a hypothesis than to reject it Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word(s) for each of the following blanks Stress Stress is important We all need a certain amount of it in order to (46) x fulfilling lives However, if we have too much of it, it can have the opposite effect Some people can tolerate greater (47) x of stress than others, but most of us will (48) x at some time in our lives It is, (49) x , a good idea to learn a few stress management techniques Identifying the cause of the problem we have, so that we can (50) x it more effectively, is one of the first step towards reducing stress The second is talking to a person you can trust, who will listen and, if necessary, give you some positive advice Not only are smoking and drinking (51) x to our health, they actually increase stress (52) x than reduce it So, next time you want to relax, instead of reaching for that glass of wine or a cigarette, have a warm bath or go for a walk Walking has more than health (53) x It helps you think more clearly, (54) x Pets have calming influences on us, unless they make noise which irritates us In fact, unwanted noises should be avoided as far as possible On the other hand, laughter is one of the best ways to make yourself feel (55) x better Question 46: A.guide B.lead C.carry D.spend Question 47: A.levels B.proportion C.an amount D.limit Question 48: A.undergo B.suffer C.tolerate D.torture Question 49: A.nevertheless B.so C.however D.therefore Question 50: A.make B.solve C.do D.cope Question 51: A.negative B destructive C harmful D bad Question 52: A.more B.rather C.other D.better Question 53: A goods B.convenience C advantage D.benefits Question 54: A too B.either C.yet D.likewise Question 54: A consider B considerate C considerable D.considerably Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part is pronounced differently from that of the rest in each of the following questions Question 56: A.Pacific B.admirable C.balance D.Atlantic Question 57: A.missed B.aged C.laughed D.stopped Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word or phrase that is CLOSEST in meaning to the underlined part in each of the following questions Question 58: Although they had never met before the party, Jim and Jane felt strong affinity to each other A enthusiasm B.attraction C.moved D.interest Question 59: English as we know today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1030 A started B.appeared C.developed D.vanished Question 60: People are busy buying gifts, cleaningand decorating the house and cooking traditional foods to welcome Tet holiday now A favorite B.important C.customary D.national Question 61: The preservation of the dead body was accomplished through a process of mummification The ancient left no written accounts as to the execution of this process A carried B achieved C reproduced D performed Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on you answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the rest in the position of the main stress in each of the following questions Question 62: A.twenty B.hundred C.thirteen D.fifty Question 63: A.infer B.answer C.refer D.deter Question 64: A.exception B.linguistics C.paragraph D.specific II PHẦN TỰ LUẬN (2 điểm) Part I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it Question 65: He tried to study hard However, he didn’t get high marks Part II In about 140 words, write a paragraph about Tet holiday …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Lời giải chi tiết trường ĐH Vinh lần Đáp án A will be => is Đáp án C speaks to => speak to Đáp án B be done => to be done Đáp án C fascinated => fascinating Đáp án C beautiful => beautifully Đáp án B body = amount: Khối;
