Section 2: Reading comprehension (MCQs)
Passage 1
1. James Waltham – Chocolate Taster
Whenever I tell people what I do for a living, they can hardly believe that job exists. But I am
not joking! I spend my days at work eating chocolate! Tasting chocolate is an essential part of
making sure that customers get perfect bars of high- quality chocolate from the company I work
for.
Every week I receive samples, small amounts that show what the chocolate is like, from our
factory and I have to check them for taste, texture and smell. I also have to taste the raw
materials we usually use- the nuts, fruit and so on. I spend days choosing the most suitable ones
to go into the chocolate.
Just beside my company office I have a kitchen where I can test and taste products I make and I
keep my colleagues happy by giving them samples! My kitchen is full of machines and
ingredients to play with. It’s wonderful to have a private space I can go off to during the day.
No two days are the same in this job. Sometimes I am at our food lab and others I am out of the
country buying our raw materials and as I have got a young family that can be difficult. But that
kind of variety, and lack of routine, is something I love about the job, although I think is still
comes second to the chocolate itself! The question I get asked most is whether I get bored of
chocolate. I have worked with it for a long time, and I have never felt I did not want to eat it. In
fact, I often go home and eat some more in the evening!
Câu 57. James says that when he tells people about his work, they
A. doubt whether he is serious.
B. wonder why he chose it as a career.
C. think it must be very easy.
D. say they would like to do the same thing.
Câu 58. What is James Waltham trying to do in the text?
A. recommend the best ways to test chocolate
B. suggest different methods of making chocolate.
C. tell readers what makes his job worth doing for him.
D. describe what personal qualities are needed to do his job.
Câu 59. What does Jame think is a disadvantage of his job?
A. He finds it difficult to have a routine with his work.
B. He sometimes feels he has eaten too much chocolate.

4
QUI - 2024

C. He needs to travel abroad some of the time.

D. He has worked with the same product too long.
Câu 60. James says that working in his kitchen involves
A. discussing his opinions with other members of staffs.
B. checking the quantities of ingredients in each bar.
C. making sure the best chocolate- making equipment is used.
D. trying various different preparation methods.
Câu 61. Which one would be an advert for the chocolate company Jame worked for?
A. All our ingredients are bought from local businesses.
B. Every single bar of chocolate that leaves our factory is tested for its taste.
C. A. We check everything that goes into our chocolate.
D. We choose the best ingredients- just chocolate, beans, sugar and milk.

Passage 2
Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the
ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that
it is simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great
achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a
child’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right
upbringing and opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a
good engine and fuel.”
Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of
identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They
found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s
environment.
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal
upbringing, and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely
supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin,
though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the
environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there isno link
between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words,it does not
matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.
Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One
professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than
ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians
then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were
capable of attaining.
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
- Marry an intelligent person.
- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
- Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.
5
QUI - 2024

- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a

Câu 62. When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid _____________
A. starting their education at an early age
B. pushing their children too hard.
C. letting them play their own way.
D. permitting them to follow their own interests
Câu 63. The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage
means that in order to become a genius ________________
A. you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard
B. you need intelligence and you need to develop it
C. you should try to move quickly and efficiently
D. you need to have good health and good nourishment
Câu 64. The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means ____________
A. “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people”
B. “under the control or in the power of somebody else”
C. “of high quality or an acceptable standard”
D. “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful”
Câu 65. The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires _____________
A. an expensive education
B. parental support and encouragement
C. wealthy and loving parents
D. good musical instruments
Câu 66. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _________________

B. educational development depends completely on economic well-being
C. a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents
D. to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development
Passage 3
Fruitibix
Do you want to be slim?
Do you worry about your family’s health?
Then you should try Fruitibix, the new healthy fruit and nut biscuit. Fruitibix tastes wonderful,
but it contains less sugar than most other biscuits. Each biscuit contains dried fruit and nuts,
including apples, coconut and banana. Sometimes you feel like eating something between meals.
Now, instead of having a chocolate bar, bite into a Fruitibix. It won’t make you fat and it will
keep you healthy.
At lunch time, instead of chips or hamburgers, have a Fruitibix. It contains all the essential foods
for a balanced meal. And if you are in a hurry, and you don’t have time for a proper meal,
Fruitibix will give you energy to keep on going.
So whenever your children ask for something sweet, give them Fruitibix instead of cake or
chocolate they will love the taste and it won’t harm their teeth.
Discover Fruitibix. It’s on your supermarket shelves now!

Passage 4
Being an older student
At 32, I have just finished my first year at university. As well as attending lectures regularly, I
have had to learn to read books quickly and write long essays.
I decided to go to university after fourteen years away from the classroom. As a secretary,
although I was earning a reasonable amount of money, I was bored doing something where I
hardly had to think. I became more and more depressed by the idea that I was stuck in the job. I
was jealous of the students at the local university, who looked happy, carefree and full of hope,
and part of something that I wanted to explore further.
However, now that I’ve actually become a student I find it hard to mix with younger colleagues.
They are always mistaking me for a lecturer and asking me questions I can’t answer. I aslo feel
separated from the lectures because, although we are the same age, I know somuch less than
them. But I am glad of this opportunity to study because I know you need a qualification to get a
rewarding job, which is really important to me. Unlike most eighteen-year-olds, I much prefer a
weekend with my books to one out partying. Then there are the normal student benefits of long
holidays and theatre and cinema discounts. I often have doubts about what I’ll do after
university, but I hope that continuing my education at this late date has been a wise choice.

Passage 5
The Clovis Culture
Archeologists have found sites all over North America that contain similar tools dating from a
period about 12,000 years ago. The culture that developed these tools has been named Clovis
after the site near Clovis, New Mexico, where the first tools of this sort were discovered in
1932. The tools are quite sophisticated and are unlike any tools that have been found in the Old
World.
In the years since the first tools of this sort were discovered in New Mexico, archeologists have
discovered Clovis tools in areas ranging from Mexico to Montana in the United States and Nova
Scotia in Canada. All of the Clovis finds date from approximately the same period, a fact which
suggests that the Clovis spread rapidly throughout the North American continent.
From the evidence that has been discovered, archeologists have concluded that the Clovis were a
mobile culture. They traveled in groups of 40 to 50 individuals, migrating seasonally and
returning to the same hunting camps each year. Their population increased rapidly as they
spread out over the continent, and they were quite possibly motivated to develop their
sophisticated hunting tools to feed their rapidly expanding populace.
Câu 77. According to paragraph 2, what conclusion have archeologists drawn from the Clovis
finds?
A. That the Clovis expanded relatively quickly.
B. That the Clovis lived throughout the world.
C. That the Clovis were a seafaring culture.

_______.
A. similar to others found prior to 1932
B. rather advanced
C. very rudimentary
D. similar to some found in Africa and Europe
Câu 80. What is stated in paragraph 1 about Clovis tools?
A. They were discovered by archeologists hundreds of years ago.
B. They date from around 10,000 B.C.
C. They have been in use for 12,000 years.
D. They have been found at only one location.
Câu 81. It is mentioned in paragraph 3 that it is believed that the Clovis ______________.
A. lived only in New Mexico
B. spent summers and winters in different places
C. lived in familial groups of four or five people
D. had a relatively stable population
Passage 6
The Postage stamp
The postage stamp has been around for only a relatively short period of time. The use of stamps
for postage was first proposed in England in 1837, when Sir Rowland Hill published a pamphlet
entitled “Post Office Reform: Its Importance and Practicability” to put forth the ideas that postal
rates should not be based on the distance that a letter or package travels but should instead be
based on the weight of the letter or package and that fees for postal Services should be collected
in advance of the delivery, rather than after, through the use of postage stamps.
The ideas proposed by Hill went into effect in England almost immediately, and other countries
soon followed suit. The first English stamp, which featured a portrait of then Queen Victoria,
was printed in 1840. This stamp, the “penny black”, came in sheets that needed to be separated
with scissors and provided enough postage for a letter weighing 14 grams or less to any
destination. In 1843, Brazil was the next nation to produce national postage stamps, and various
areas in what is today Switzerland also produced postage stamps later in the same year. Postage
stamps in five- and ten-cent denominations were first approved by the U.S. Congress in 1847,
and by 1860 postage stamps were being issued in more than 90 governmental jurisdictions
worldwide.
Câu 82. It is mentioned in paragraph 2 that in 1847 _____________________.
A. two different denominations of postage stamps were introduced in the United States
B. it cost fifteen cents to mail a letter in the United States
C. postage stamps were in use in 90 different countries

__________________.
A. in the first half of the eighteenth century
B. in the second half of the eighteenth century
C. in the second half of the nineteenth century
D. in the first half of the nineteenth century
Câu 85. It is indicated in paragraph 1 that Sir Rowland Hill believed that postage fees
______________.
A. should be collected after the package is delivered
B. should be paid by the sender
C. should be related to distance
D. should have nothing to do with how heavy a package is

Hi Jack,

I hope you're doing well. I want to start by apologizing for not returning your dictionary as
promised. It was irresponsible of me, and I regret not keeping my word.

Yesterday, I had an unexpected work commitment that required my immediate attention,

which prevented me from seeing you as planned and returning the dictionary. I understand
that it's not an excuse for failing to return it on time, and I sincerely apologize for the
inconvenience caused.

To make it up to you, I'd like to offer to bring the dictionary to your house today at a time
that suits you best. Please let me know what works for you, and I'll ensure to be there
promptly.

Once again, I'm sorry for the delay, and I appreciate your understanding.

Best regards, John

I spent my weekend exploring the wonders of Cat Ba Island, nestled in the beauty of Hai
Phong, Vietnam. Picture-perfect scenes awaited at every turn: towering limestone cliffs,
pristine beaches, and lush greenery that seemed to stretch for miles. It felt like stepping
into a paradise!

Accompanied by a fantastic group of friends, we delved into the island's treasures. From
exhilarating hikes to snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, every moment was filled with
adventure. And, of course, we couldn't resist indulging in the mouthwatering local seafood
at charming seaside restaurants. It was a weekend etched in unforgettable memories.

Looking forward to catching up and hearing all about your own weekend escapades!
