A. needn't B. shouldn't have C. mustn't have D. didn't have
Xét các đáp án:
A. needn't: không cần thiết -> sai vì hành động "mua hoa" đã diễn ra trong quá khứ rồi (bought),
nên cần phải dùng dạng "needn't have Vp2: lẽ ra không cần làm gì trong quá khứ nhưng thực tế
đã làm rồi" -> thiếu trợ từ "have" vì khi không muốn nhắc lại động từ và tân ngữ đã nói ở phía
trước, tránh rườm rà thì có thể lược bỏ động từ chính và tân ngữ, dùng mỗi "S + trợ từ"
B. shouldn't have: lẽ ra không cần mua (nhưng thực tế mua rồi) ->đúng, cách dùng tương tự
"needn't have" như giải thích trên câu A
C. mustn't have: không dùng dạng này. Người ta dùng "must have Vp2" để diễn đạt một suy
đoán hợp lý (chắc chắn đã xảy ra) trong quá khứ và "can't have Vp2" để diễn đạt một suy đoán
chắc chắn đã không xảy ra trong quá khứ
D. didn't have -> sai vì dùng đáp án này nghĩa là thực tế đã không mua trong quá khứ -> trái với
giả thiết của lời thoại thứ nhất

Excerpted from What Video Games Have to Teach us about Learning and Literacy by James
Paul Gee
When people learn to play video games, they are learning a new literacy. Of course, this is not
the way the word "literacy" is normally used. Traditionally, people think of literacy as the ability
to read and write. Why, then, should we think of literacy more broadly, in regard to video games
or anything else, for that matter? There are two reasons.
First, in the modem world, language is not the only important communicational system. Today
images, symbols, graphs, diagrams, artifacts, and many other visual symbols are particularly
significant. Thus, the idea of different types of "visual literacy" would seem to be an important
one. For example, being able to "read" the images in advertising is one type of visual literacy.
And, of course, there are different ways to read such images, ways that are more or less aligned
with the intentions and interests of the advertisers. Knowing how to read interior designs in
homes, modernist art in museums, and videos on MTV are other forms of visual literacy.
Furthermore, very often today words and images of various sorts are juxtaposed and integrated in
a variety of ways. In newspaper and magazines as well as in textbooks, images take up more and
more of the space alongside words. In fact, in many modern high school and college textbooks in
the sciences images not only take up more space, they now carry meanings that are independent
of the words in the text. If you can't read these images, you will not be able to recover their
meanings from the words in the text as was more usual in the past. In such multimodal texts
(texts that mix words and images), the images often communicate different things from the
words. And the combination of the two modes communicates things that neither of the modes
does separately. Thus, the idea of different sorts of multimodal literacy seems an important one.
Both modes and multimodality go far beyond images and words to include sounds, music,
movement, bodily sensations, and smells.
None of this news today, of course. We very obviously live in a world awash with images. It is
our first answer to the question why we should think of literacy more broadly. The second
answer is this: Even though reading and writing seem so central to what literacy means
traditionally, reading and writing are not such general and obvious matters as they might at first

seem. After all, we never just read or write; rather, we always read or write something in some
way.
So there are different ways to read different types of texts. Literacy is multiple, then, in the sense
that the legal literacy needed for reading law books is not the same as the literacy needed for
reading physics texts or superhero comic books. And we should not be too quick to dismiss the
latter form of literacy. Many a superhero comic is replete with post-Freudian irony of a sort that
would make a modern literary critic's heart beat fast and confuse any otherwise normal adult.
Literacy, then, even as traditionally conceived to involve only print, is not a unitary thing but a
multiple matter. There are, even in regard to printed texts and even leaving aside images and
multimodal texts, different "literacies."
Once we see this multiplicity of literacy (literacies), we realize that when we think about reading
and writing, we have to think beyond print. Reading and writing in any domain, whether it is law,
rap songs, academic essays, superhero comics, or whatever, are not just ways of decoding print,
they are also caught up with and in social practices... Video games are a new form of art. They
will not replace books; they will sit beside them, interact with them, and change them and their
role in society in various ways, as, indeed, they are already doing strongly with movies. (Today
many movies are based on video games and many more are influenced by them.) We have no
idea yet how people "read" video games, what meanings they make from them. Still less do we
know how they will "read" them in the future.
61. According to the first paragraph, the broadest definition of "literacy" is
A. The ability to analyze literature
B. The ability to comprehend basic cultural cues
C. The ability to read and write
D. The ability to compose poetry
Clue: Traditionally, people think of literacy as the ability to read and write: Theo truyền thống,
mọi người nghĩ biết chữ là khả năng đọc và viết.
62. All are mentioned as being types of "visual literacy" EXCEPT
A. Musical tones B. Interior Design C. Diagrams D. Modern Art
Thông tin: Today images, symbols, graphs, diagrams, artifacts, and many other visual symbols
are particularly significant. Thus, the idea of different types of "visual literacy" would seem to be
an important one. For example, being able to "read" the images in advertising is one type of
visual literacy. And, of course, there are different ways to read such images, ways that are more
or less aligned with the intentions and interests of the advertisers. Knowing how to read interior
designs in homes, modernist art in museums, and videos on MTV are other forms of visual
literacy.
Tạm dịch: Ngày nay hình ảnh, biểu tượng, đồ thị, sơ đồ, đồ tạo tác và nhiều biểu tượng trực
quan khác có ý nghĩa đặc biệt. Do đó, ý tưởng về các loại "đọc hiểu bằng hình ảnh" khác nhau
dường như là một ý tưởng quan trọng. Ví dụ, có thể "đọc" các hình ảnh trong quảng cáo là một
trong những kiểu hiểu biết về thị giác. Và, tất nhiên, có những cách khác nhau để đọc những
hình ảnh đó, những cách ít nhiều phù hợp với ý định và lợi ích của nhà quảng cáo. Biết cách đọc
các thiết kế nội thất trong nhà, nghệ thuật hiện đại trong viện bảo tàng và video trên MTV là
những hình thức hiểu biết trực quan khác.
63. An example from a science textbook of the phenomenon the author describes in the third
paragraph could be
A. A genetic tree that coincides with the discussion of specific mammal classes in the text
B. A diagram of a specific chemical reaction that is used to explain a broad definition in the text
C. An illustration of a plant cycle that accompanies a chapter on photosynthesis
D. A cartoon that references the same methods discussed in the text about laboratory safety
Thông tin: Furthermore, very often today words and images of various sorts are juxtaposed and
integrated in a variety of ways. In newspaper and magazines as well as in textbooks, images take
up more and more of the space alongside words. In fact, in many modern high school and college
textbooks in the sciences images not only take up more space, they now carry meanings that
are independent of the words in the text. If you can't read these images, you will not be able to
recover their meanings from the words in the text as was more usual in the past. In such

things from the words. And the combination of the two modes communicates things that neither
of the modes does separately. Thus, the idea of different sorts of multimodal literacy seems an
important one. Both modes and multimodality go far beyond images and words to include
sounds, music, movement, bodily sensations, and smells.
Tạm dịch:Hơn nữa, ngày nay rất thường xuyên các từ và hình ảnh thuộc nhiều loại khác nhau
được đặt cạnh nhau và được tích hợp theo nhiều cách khác nhau. Trong báo và tạp chí cũng như
trong sách giáo khoa, hình ảnh ngày càng chiếm nhiều không gian bên cạnh các từ. Trên thực tế,
trong nhiều sách giáo khoa phổ thông và đại học hiện đại, các hình ảnh khoa học không chỉ
chiếm nhiều dung lượng hơn mà giờ đây chúng còn mang những ý nghĩa độc lập với các từ trong
văn bản. Nếu bạn không thể đọc những hình ảnh này, bạn sẽ không thể khôi phục ý nghĩa của
chúng từ các từ trong văn bản như bình thường trước đây. Trong các văn bản đa phương thức
như vậy (văn bản kết hợp giữa từ và hình ảnh), hình ảnh thường truyền đạt những điều khác với
lời nói. Và sự kết hợp của hai chế độ truyền đạt những điều mà cả hai chế độ không làm riêng
biệt. Do đó, ý tưởng về các loại hình đọc viết đa phương thức khác nhau có vẻ là một ý tưởng
quan trọng. Cả hai chế độ và đa phương thức đều vượt xa hình ảnh và ngôn từ để bao gồm âm
thanh, âm nhạc, chuyển động, cảm giác cơ thể và khứu giác.
64. What is an example of a "multimodal" text?
A. A dictionary B. A movie script C. A photo album
D. An art book that describes the art as well as reproduces images of the original prints
Thông tin: If you can't read these images, you will not be able to recover their meanings from the
words in the text as was more usual in the past. In such multimodal texts (texts that mix words
and images), the images often communicate different things from the words. And the
combination of the two modes communicates things that neither of the modes does separately.
Thus, the idea of different sorts of multimodal literacy seems an important one. Both modes and
multimodality go far beyond images and words to include sounds, music, movement, bodily
sensations, and smells: Nếu bạn không thể đọc những hình ảnh này, bạn sẽ không thể khôi phục
ý nghĩa của chúng từ các từ trong văn bản như thường lệ trong quá khứ. Trong các văn bản đa
phương thức như vậy (văn bản kết hợp từ ngữ và hình ảnh), hình ảnh thường truyền đạt những
điều khác với từ ngữ. Và sự kết hợp của hai chế độ truyền đạt những điều mà không chế độ nào
thực hiện riêng lẻ. Do đó, ý tưởng về các loại hình đọc viết đa phương thức khác nhau dường
như là một ý tưởng quan trọng. Cả hai chế độ và đa phương thức đều vượt xa hình ảnh và từ ngữ
để bao gồm âm thanh, âm nhạc, chuyển động, cảm giác cơ thể và mùi
65. The idiom in the sixth paragraph, "read against the grain of the text" is closest in meaning
to
A. Reading to understand the underlying meanings and themes of the author's words-not just a
literal interpretation
B. Reading text that defines different types of wheat and grains
C. To read the text from right to left rather than left to right
D. To read books that use recycled paper and other green alternatives
Thông tin: Once we see this multiplicity of literacy (literacies), we realize that when we think
about reading and writing, we have to think beyond print. Reading and writing in any domain,
whether it is law, rap songs, academic essays, superhero comics, or whatever, are not just ways
of decoding print, they are also caught up with and in social practices...
Tạm dịch: Một khi chúng ta nhìn thấy sự đa dạng của khả năng đọc viết (văn học), chúng ta nhận
ra rằng khi chúng ta nghĩ về việc đọc và viết, chúng ta phải nghĩ về chữ in. Đọc và viết trong bất
kỳ lĩnh vực nào, cho dù đó là luật, các bài hát rap, tiểu luận học thuật, truyện tranh siêu anh hùng,
hoặc bất cứ điều gì, không chỉ là cách giải mã bản in, chúng còn chứa đựng bên trong thực tiễn
xã hội ...
66. In the seventh paragraph, the author suggests that literacy is multiple, meaning that
A. To be "literate" can mean participating in any form of expression
B. One's literacy increases exponentially as greater mastery of reading and writing is achieved
C. Different genres and modes of expression require different background knowledge and
perspectives to understand them
D. Literacy can only be gained by exploring every type of media and expression
Thông tin: Once we see this multiplicity of literacy (literacies), we realize that when we think
about reading and writing, we have to think beyond print. Reading and writing in any domain,
whether it is law, rap songs, academic essays, superhero comics, or whatever, are not just ways
of decoding print, they are also caught up with and in social practices...
Tạm dịch: Một khi chúng ta nhìn thấy sự đa dạng của khả năng đọc viết (văn học), chúng ta nhận
ra rằng khi chúng ta nghĩ về việc đọc và viết, chúng ta phải nghĩ xa hơn chữ in. Đọc và viết trong
bất kỳ lĩnh vực nào, cho dù đó là luật, các bài hát rap, tiểu luận học thuật, truyện tranh siêu anh
hùng, hoặc bất cứ điều gì, không chỉ là cách giải mã bản in, chúng còn chứa đựng bên trong thực
tiễn xã hội ...
67. Why does the author give the example of superhero comics to explain multiple literacies?
A. To explain that comic books are written for children and purely for entertainment. They
require only a basic knowledge of the action that occurs in the story
B. To once again refer to his earlier points about "multimodal" texts
C. To insist that even when an author may intend multiple meanings and interpretations, they are
rarely successful in conveying those to readers
D. Things that may seem on the surface to be only meant for a particular group of people can
actually have very profound meanings to those who possess other types of literacy
Thông tin: Many a superhero comic is replete with post-Freudian irony of a sort that would make
a modern literary critic's heart beat fast and confuse any otherwise normal adult. Literacy, then,
even as traditionally conceived to involve only print, is not a unitary thing but a multiple matter:
Nhiều truyện tranh về siêu anh hùng chứa đầy những tình huống trớ trêu thời hậu Freud có thể
khiến trái tim của một nhà phê bình văn học hiện đại đập nhanh và khiến bất kỳ người lớn bình
thường nào cũng bối rối. Do đó, biết chữ, ngay cả khi được quan niệm theo truyền thống chỉ liên
quan đến chữ in, không phải là một thứ đơn nhất mà là một vấn đề đa dạng.
68. The author suggests that all of the following require different types of literacy and the ability
to decode meaning EXCEPT
A. Rap music B. Comic books C. Academic papers D. Symphonies
Thông tin: Reading and writing in any domain, whether it is law, rap songs, academic essays,
superhero comics, or whatever, are not just ways of decoding print, they are also caught up with
and in social practices...
Tạm dịch: Đọc và viết trong bất kỳ lĩnh vực nào, cho dù đó là luật, các bài hát rap, tiểu luận học
thuật, truyện tranh siêu anh hùng, hoặc bất cứ điều gì, không chỉ là cách giải mã bản in, chúng
còn chứa đựng bên trong thực tiễn xã hội
69. The author says that video games
A. Are not yet entirely understood in terms of literacy, but are already impacting other forms of
expression such as filmmaking
B. Are unrealistic and should not fall into the same categories as the other texts he describes
C. Are too violent to risk experimenting with for the purposes of understanding literacy
D. Are irrelevant in academic discussion because no one has yet determined how to explain the
ways that people understand them
Thông tin: Video games are a new form of art. They will not replace books; they will sit beside
them, interact with them, and change them and their role in society in various ways, as, indeed,
they are already doing strongly with movies. (Today many movies are based on video games and
many more are influenced by them.) We have no idea yet how people "read" video games, what
meanings they make from them. Still less do we know how they will "read" them in the future.
Tạm dịch: Trò chơi điện tử là một hình thức nghệ thuật mới. Chúng sẽ không thay thế sách; họ sẽ
ngồi bên cạnh họ, tương tác với họ, và thay đổi họ cũng như vai trò của họ trong xã hội theo
nhiều cách khác nhau, vì thực sự, họ đã rất mạnh mẽ với điện ảnh. (Ngày nay nhiều bộ phim dựa
trên trò chơi điện tử và nhiều bộ phim khác bị ảnh hưởng bởi chúng.) Chúng ta vẫn chưa biết
mọi người "đọc" trò chơi điện tử như thế nào, ý nghĩa của họ từ chúng. Vẫn còn ít hơn chúng ta
biết con người sẽ "đọc" chúng như thế nào trong tương lai.
70. What would be the most logical information for the next paragraph to contain if the article
continued?
A. A technological definition of video games, how they are made, and how they are played
B. A historical explanation of the very first video game and its evolution
C. Examples of the way that some people currently interpret video games and what they mean to
them
D. A price comparison of video game consoles and whether or not quality has a direct impact on
literacy
Giải thích: Bài báo đã thảo luận về ý tưởng coi trò chơi điện tử là một hình thức học chữ mới và
bước hợp lý tiếp theo sẽ là khám phá cách mọi người hiện đang diễn giải và tương tác với trò
chơi điện tử. Điều này sẽ hỗ trợ thêm cho lập luận rằng trò chơi điện tử là một phương tiện quan
trọng và phức tạp có thể dạy chúng ta về học tập và đọc viết.
READING PASSAGE 2 (5PTS):
Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question.
71. B. 72 A. 73 D. 74 C. 75 C. 76 A. 77 D. 78 A. 79 C. 80 C.
1. The craft of perfumery has an ancient and global heritage. The art flourished in Ancient Rome,
where the emperors were said to bathe in scent. After the fall of Rome, much of the knowledge
was lost, but survived in Islamic civilizations in the Middle Ages. Arab and Persian pharmacists
developed essential oils from the aromatic plants of the Indian peninsula. They developed the
processes of distillation and suspension in alcohol, which allowed for smaller amounts of raw
materials to be used than in the ancient process, by which flower petals were soaked in warm oil.
This knowledge was carried back to European monasteries during the Crusades.
2. At first, the use of fragrances was primarily associated with healing. Aromatic alcoholic
waters were ingested as well as used externally. Fragrances were used to purify the air, both for
spiritual and health purposes. During the Black Death, the bubonic plague was thought to
have resulted from a bad odour which could be averted by inhaling pleasant fragrances
such as cinnamon. The Black Death led to an aversion to using water for washing. and so
perfume was commonly used as a cleaning agent.
3. Later the craft of perfume re-entered Europe, and was centred in Venice, on, chiefly because it
was an important trade route and a centre for glass-making. Having such materials at hand was
essential for the distillation process. In the late seventeenth century, trade soared in France, when
Louis XIV brought in policies of protectionism and patronage which stimulated the purchase of
luxury goods. Here, perfumery was the preserve of glove-makers. The link arose since the
tanning of leather required putrid substances. Consequently. the gloves were scented before they
were sold and wom. A glove and perfume makers' guild had existed here since 1190. Entering it
required 7 years of formal training under a master perfumer.
4. The trade in perfume flourished during the reign of Louis XV, as the master glove-and-
perfume makers, particularly those trading in Paris, received patronage from the royal court,
where it is said that a different perfume was used each week. The perfumers diversified into
other cosmetics including soaps, powders, white face paints and hair dyes. They were not the
sole sellers of beauty products. Mercers, spicers, vinegar-makers and wig-makers were all
cashing in on the popularity of perfumed products. Even simple shopkeepers were coming up
with their own concoctions to sell.

5. During the eighteenth century, more modern, capitalist perfume industry began to emerge,
particularly in Britain where there was a flourishing consumer society. In France, the revolution
initially disrupted the perfume trade due to its association with aristocracy, however, it regained
momentum later as a wider range of markets were sought both in the domestic and overseas
markets. The guild system was abolished in 1791, allowing new high-end perfumery shops to
open in Paris.
6. Perfume became less associated with health in 1810 with a Napoleonic ordinance which
required perfumers to declare the ingredients of all products for internal consumption. Unwilling
to divulge their secrets, traders concentrated on products for external use. Napoleon affected the
industry in other ways too. With French ports blockaded by the British during the Napoleonic
wars, the London perfumers were able to dominate the markets for some time.
7. One of the significant changes in the nineteenth century was the idea of branding. Until then,
trademarks had had little significance in the perfumery where goods were consumed locally,
although they had a long history in other industries. One of the pioneers in this field was Rimmel
who was nationalized as a British citizen in 1857. He took advantage of the spread of railroads to
reach customers in wider markets. To do this, he built a brand which conveyed prestige and
quality, and were worth paying a premium for. He recognised the role of design in enhancing the
value of his products, hiring a French lithographer to create the labels for his perfume bottles.
8. Luxury fragrances were strongly associated with the affluent and prestigious cities of London
and Paris. Perfumers elsewhere tended to supply cheaper products and knock-offs of the London
and Paris brands. The United States perfume industry, which developed around the docks in New
York where French oils were being imported, began in this way. Many American firms were
founded by immigrants, such as William Colgate, who arrived in 1806. At this time, Colgate was
chiefly known as a perfumery. Its Cashmere Bouquet brand had 625 perfume varieties in the
early 20th century.

III. ERROR CORRECTION: (10PTS)

The following passage contains 10 errors. Identify and correct them.
1 Most astronomical events that influence the Earth, apart from the
occasional asteroid impact, do so in aregular fashion, such as day and night,
2
the tides and the seasons. There is, therefore, one event that has a
3 tremendous impact on the Earth those of the total eclipse. For a few
minutes, broad daylight changes to complete darkness as the Moon totally
4 hide the Sun. This darkness is accompanied by many spectacular effects,
5 and it also provides a rare opportunity to physicists to make observations
that are impossible at any other time. However, as a total solar eclipse is a
6 sudden interruption of the day, it can also have an effect on plants and
7 animals that are used to the regular circle of day and night. As total eclipses
occur in average once every 360-years at any particular location, there is
8 little chance of any living thing becoming accustomed to them. In fact,
9 there are some amazing stories of the unusual behaviour of animals as a
total eclipse approaches. In Australia, for example, one observer said, 'I
10 found myself have to calm a distressed parrot, which fell to the ground a
11 moment or so before the total eclipse'. Joanna Kale other observer, found
her head surrounded by a cloud of insects that dispersed when the Sun
12 finally emerged from the eclipse. So, as these examples show, the Suns
presence has an astonishing influence on life on Earth.
