Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability. On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery. Trang 4/6 – Mã đề thi 123 When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation. Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels. Question 51: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to _____. A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy B. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity C. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy D. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity Question 52: Before electricity, what was sometimes passed through pipes to heat rooms? A. gas B. petrol C. steam D. hot wind Question 53: What does the author mean by saying that electricity is flexible? A. It is cheap and easy to use. B. It is used to drive motor engines. C. It can be adapted to various uses. D. It can be made with ease. Question 54: What do we call machines that make electricity? A. Voltages B. Electric magnets C. Generators or turbines. D. Pipes and radiators Question 55: The main forms of power used to generate electricity in Australia are _____. A. atomic power and water B. water and coal C. sunlight and wind power D. wind and gas Question 56: The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to _____. A. harmful effects B. the tides C. scientists D. new ways Question 57: Electric magnets are used in steel works to _____. A. lift heavy weights up to ten tons B. test the steel for strength C. heat the molten steel D. boil a jug of water Question 58: The advantage of harnessing the power of the tides and of sunlight to generate electricity is that they ______ A. do not pollute the environment B. are more reliable C. are more adaptable D. do not require attention Question 59: Which of the following power sources causes pollution by emitting harmful gases? A. sunlight B. petrol C. water D. wind Question 60: The best title for this passage could be _____. A. “Types of Power Plants” B. “Electricity: Harmful Effects on Our Life” C. “How to Produce Electricity” D. “Why Electricity Is So Remarkable” Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is CLOSEST in meaning to the sentence given in each of the following questions.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D in your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a hindrance, and may even cause harm. These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants. Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three in particular stand out. The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect. If a person has one noticeable good trait , their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are. Thus, an individual who dresses smartly and shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well regardless of his or her real ability. Trang 6/6 – Mã đề thi 123 Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect. This error occurs when interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information. Hence, in an interview situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the impression given by the candidate in the first few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant. The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers. A suitable candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally intelligent. Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged as more suitable than he or she really is. Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability. Of the various tests devised, the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests. Question 71: The word “they” in line 6 refers to _____. A. applicants B. judgments C. interviewers D. characteristics Question 72: The word “this” in line 20 refers to _____. A. measure cognitive ability B. devise personnel selection C. predict candidate suitability D. devise accurate tests Question 73: This passage mainly discusses the _____. A. Judgments of interviewers concerning job applicants. B. Inadequacy of interviewing job applicants. C. Effects of interviewing on job applicants. D. Techniques that interviewers use for judging job applicants. Question 74: According to the passage, the hallo effect _____. A. exemplifies how one good characteristic color perceptions B. takes effect only when a candidate is well - dressed C. stands out as the worst judgmental error D. helps the interviewer’s capability to judge real ability Question 75: The word “hindrance” in line 1 is closest in meaning to _____. A. assistance B. encouragement C. procedure D. interference Question 76: According to the passage the first impression _____. A. can easily be altered B. is unrelated to the interviewer’s prejudices C. is the one that stays with the interviewer D. has been repeatedly demonstrated to the applicant Question 77: The word “skews” in line 14 is closest in meaning to _____. A. improves B. opposes C. biases D. distinguishes Question 78: The author mentions all of the following reasons why interviewing is not an accurate way to predict candidate suitability EXCEPT the _____. A. primacy effect B. halo effect C. contrast effect D. cognitive effect Question 79: The word “confirm” in line 11 is closest in meaning to _____. A. verify B. misrepresent C. recollect D. conclude Question 80: The paragraphs following the passage most likely discuss which of the following? A. More information on the kinds of judgmental effects B. Other reasons for misjudgments of applicants C. Other selection procedures included in interviewing D.
