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, from 19 to 26 
Mr. Faugel was convinced that students’ nervousness had affected their scores; to reduce the anxiety of 
these students who had already been tested, he gave 22 of them a beta blocker before reading ministration 
of the test. Their scores improved significantly. The other 8 students (who did not receive the beta blockers) 
improved only slightly. Second-time test-takers nationwide had average improvements which were similar 
to those in Faugel's non-beta blocker group. 
Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years. These medications, which 
interfere with the effects of adrenal in, have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as 
stage fright. Now they are used for the test anxiety. These drugs seem to help test-takers who have low 
scores because of test fright, but not those who do not know the material. Since there can be side effects 
from these beta blockers, physicians are not ready to prescribe them routinely for all test-takers. 
Question 19: The word "reduce" in paragraph 1 most nearly means ________. 
A. build up B. lessen C. maximize D. increase 
Question 20: The word "interfere" in paragrah 2 most nearly means _______.

Question 21: Why are beta blockers not prescribed regularly? 
A. The drugs are only 25 years old. B. Students are expected to do poorly. 
C. They cause test anxiety. D. There are side effects. 
Question 22: According to the passage, _________. 
A. beta blockers work only on test anxiety 
B. all people can take beta blockers 
C. beta blockers work only to improve test scores if the test-taker truly knows the material 
D. beta blockers are widely prescribed 
Question 23: The expression "reading ministration" in this passage refers to ________. 
A. giving the beta blockers without retesting 
B. giving the test to both groups of test-takers and then giving them beta blockers 
C. giving the test again to people without administering beta blockers 
D. giving the test again to both groups after beta blockers have been administered to one group 
Question 24: What possible use for beta blockers was NOT discussed in this passage? 
A. Pain relief B. Heart conditions C. Minor stress D. Anxiety test 
Question 25: Beta blockers work on some physical and emotional symptoms because they _______. 
A. primarily change human thought processes B. produce side effects worse than the symptoms 
C. interfere with the side effects of adrenal in D. fool a person into a healthier stance 
Question 26: Faugel's research showed that beta blockers given to his sample ________. 
A. decreased scores 
B. increased scores much more than the national average 
C. increased scores less than the national average 
D. increased scores the same as the national average 
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of 
the questions, from 27 to 33 
Today, I’d like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up of the earth. First, we’ll touch on 
the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is 
the protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet 
 Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 011 
light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly made by the action of the sun in the upper 
atmosphere. It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes. 
The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain 
chemicals, such as fluoro-carbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use 
fluoro-carbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from 
these fluoro-carbons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however, 
new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We’ll go into that new study more next 
time.

Question 31: What is the ozone layer made of?

Question 32: The speaker’s main topic is _______. 
A. air-conditioning systems B. ultraviolet light

Question 33: What will the speaker probably discuss next?
