The combination of music and study has long been a source of disagreement between adults and 
children. Parents and teachers alike maintain that silence is important when learning, (31) .. youngsters 
insist that their favourite sounds help them concentrate. 
Now a study shows the grown-ups have been right all along. Psychologists in Florida tested how fast 
students wrote essays with and without music in the (32) . They found that the sounds slowed progress 
down by about sixty words per hour. 'This demonstrates clearly that it is difficult to cope with listening and 
writing at the same time,' said Dr Sarah Randall. She also(33) . to conclusion that it is a myth that 
instrumental music is less distracting that vocals. 'All types of music had the same effect,' she said in her 
report. 'One's ability to pay attention and write fluently is likely to be disturbed(34).. both vocal and 
instrumental music,' she added. 
Dr Randall claimed the research demonstrated that the idea that music could improve performance 
was wrong. 'Writing and essay is a complex task. You are recalling information and putting it in order. An 
additional stimulus in the form of music is bound to distract. But music is not the only distractor. What is

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 36 to 42. 
Around 365 B.C, in ancient Greece, the great teacher Plato told a story about a place called Atlantis. 
Plato described Atlantis as a continent in the Atlantic Ocean. He said it had been the home of powerful 
people who were destroyed when the continent was swallowed by the sea. 
Ever since Plato’s time, people have wondered if the story about Atlantis was really true. Was there ever 
such a place as Atlantis? During the Middle Ages, many people believed in the legend of Atlantis. Some 
men even made voyages to find the “lost continent”. Later, most people believed Atlantis to be just a myth. 
Scientists could find to no evidence to show that such a place had ever existed. 
Ideas change in time, however, for now some scientists think that Atlantis might have been a real place. 
A Greek professor has offered a new theory. He says that Atlantis was not a continent in the Atlantic 
Ocean an island called Thera in the Aegean Sea. The professor says that 3500 years ago much of Thera 
collapsed into the sea a volcano erupted. He thinks that before the explosion Thera had been the home of 
people called Minoans. The Minoans were sea traders who ruled the Aegean Sea from 2000 B.C. to 1250 
B.C. 
Scientists who have come to investigate Thera have found an accident city buried beneath volcanic ash 
and stone. It appears that the people who lives in the city had an advanced civilization. They were probably 
Mimoans. 
Is there the “lost continent” of Atlantis? No one may ever know for certain. Atlantis may remain a riddle 
without an answer.

 A. collapsed B. existed C. erupted D. rode

A. thought that Atlantis was only a myth.

Question 38: Who were the ancient Minoans?

Question 39: The word “explosion” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ____________. 
A. investigation. B. invasion C. excursion D. eruption 
Question 40: Why did Thera collapse into the sea? 
A. A volcano erupted B. Stones buried it

 Trang 5/ 7- Mã đề 101 
several periods of time, the first beginning around 60,000 BC. and the last ending around 7,000BC. , this 
land bridge was open. The first people travelled in the dusty trails of the animals they hunted. They brought 
with them not only their families, weapons, and tools but also a broad metaphysical understanding, sprung 
from dreams and visions and articulated in myth and song, which complemented their scientific and 
historical knowledge of the lives of animals and people. All this they shaped in a variety of languages, 
bringing into being oral literatures of power and beauty. 
 Contemporary readers, forgetting the origins of western epic, lyric, and dramatic forms, are easily 
disposed to think of “literature” only as something written. But on reflection it becomes clear that the more 
critically useful as well as the more frequently employed sense of the term concerns the artfulness of the 
verbal creation, not its mode of presentation. Ultimately, literature is aesthetically valued, regardless of 
language, culture, or mode of presentation, because some significant verbal achievement results from the 
struggle in words between tradition and talent. Verbal art has the ability to shape out a compelling inner 
vision in some skillfully crafted public verbal form. 
 Of course, the differences between the written and oral modes of expression are not without 
consequences for an understanding of Native American literature. The essential difference is that a speech 
event is an evolving communication, an “emergent form”, the shape, functions, and aesthetic values of 
which become more clearly realized over the course of the performance. In performing verbal art, the 
performer assumes responsibility for the manners as well as the content of the performance, while the 
audience assumes the responsibility for evaluating the performer’s competence in both areas. It is this 
intense mutual engagement that elicits the display of skill and shapes the emerging performance. Where 
written literature provides us with a tradition of texts, oral literature offers a tradition of performances. 
Question 43: According to the passage, why did the first people who came to North America leave their 
homeland? 
A. They were hoping to find a better climate. B. They were seeking freedom. 
C. They were following instructions given in a dream. D. They were looking for food. 
Question 44: The phrase “are easily disposed” is closet in meaning to 
A. demonstrate reluctance B. readily encourage others 
C. have a tendency D. often fail 
Question 45: The word “Ultimately” is closet in meaning to 
A. frequently B. normally C. in the end D. whenever possible 
Question 46: The word “compelling” is closet in meaning to 
A. joyous B. intricate C. competing D. forceful 
Question 47: What is the main point of the second paragraph ? 
A. Oral narratives are a valid form of literature. B. Public performance is essential to verbal art. 
C. Native Americans have a strong oral tradition in art. 
D. The production of literature provides employment for many artists. 
Question 48: According to the passage, what responsibility does the audience of a verbal art performance 
have? 
A. They provide financial support for performances. 
B. They judge the quality of the content and presentation. 
C. They participate in the performance by chanting responses. 
D. They determine the length of the performance by requesting a continuation. 
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true of the Native American literature discussed in the 
passage? 
A. It involves acting B. It has ancient origins C. It has a set form D. It expresses an inner vision. 
Question 50: What can be inferred from the passage about the difference between written and oral 
literature? 
A. Written literature reflects social values better than oral literature does. 
 Trang 6/ 7- Mã đề 101 
B. Written literature involves less interaction between audience and creator during the creative progress than 
oral literature does. 
C. Written literature usually is not based on historical events, whereas oral literature is.
