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. For recent graduates, internships may become a stepping stone to full-time, paid employment. Before accepting an offer to work as an intern you should get some information about the company's reputation of procuring their interns and decide accordingly. If they usually hire one intern but have tens of employees working day and night, it is better to look for other companies. The best place to have an internship position is an organization that gives you an opportunity to gain real work experience and develop your skills instead of using you as a cheap worker. Another thing that should be considered is the size of the company. Sometimes bigger and more established organizations are better as they have a clear hierarchy and therefore it gives you a clear idea of your position and the job description and most importantly, it will be easier to get a mentor. Startups with only five employees are usually more flexible in terms of job responsibilities and therefore it makes it harder to define your position and get mentors. After you choose a company, do a little research on the company including the people who work there. You can do a Google search and comb social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter to dig deep about the company's hiring managers and what they expect from a new employee. Social media is also very useful to keep in touch with as many people as you can and build your network. Do not hesitate to maintain any personal connection you have because those connections could be the first ones who inform you about a new job opening or any vacant positions you can apply for. If you aim for a dream job, do not overlook an entry-level position just because it offers a mediocre salary. Entry-level employees are more likely to be given room to grow and learn from their mistakes. They will also be able to figure out the job routines and get used to them when they actually get the position they have been dreaming about.

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 44 to 50.
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. 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.

B. inhabited (v): cư trú, sinh sống tại đâu đó (thường dùng cho vùng đất, hành tinh,…)

where
which
that
whose
Đáp án: B
Giải thích:
Ta cần một đại từ quan hệ nối mệnh đề quan hệ với danh từ phía trước là "sign language", và cụ thể là cụm "in which" để chỉ nơi hoặc hệ thống mà trong đó điều gì xảy ra.
in which = trong đó → phù hợp nhất cả về mặt ngữ pháp và ngữ nghĩa.
where thường dùng cho địa điểm vật lý, không thích hợp với "sign language".
that không đứng sau giới từ ("in that" không dùng để thay thế "in which").
whose dùng để chỉ sở hữu, không đúng trong trường hợp này.
Dịch: Khi có rào cản ngôn ngữ, giao tiếp được thực hiện thông qua ngôn ngữ ký hiệu trong đó các cử động biểu thị chữ cái, từ ngữ và ý tưởng.
(28) _____ of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.
Many
Every
Each
Much
Đáp án: A
Giải thích:
Danh từ "symbols" là danh từ đếm được số nhiều → cần một từ chỉ số nhiều để bổ nghĩa.
Many + plural noun → Many of these symbols = Nhiều trong số những ký hiệu này → đúng.
Every + danh từ số ít → sai về ngữ pháp.
Each dùng cho từng cái riêng lẻ → không hợp với ngữ nghĩa tổng thể.
Much chỉ dùng cho danh từ không đếm được → symbols là đếm được
Dịch: Nhiều trong số những ký hiệu biểu thị cả từ này rất sinh động và chính xác, có thể được sử dụng trên toàn thế giới, tuy nhiên việc đánh vần thì không.
Body language (29) _____ ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally.
transmits
translates
transforms
transacts
Đáp án: A
Giải thích:
A. transmits (v): truyền đạt, truyền tải → đúng ngữ nghĩa.

D. As: Vì/Khi
Chọn C.
Dịch: Mặc dù lời nói là hình thức giao tiếp phổ biến nhất, các hệ thống và kỹ thuật khác cũng truyền đạt những suy nghĩ và cảm xúc của con người.
Dịch bài
Kể từ khi loài người sinh sống trên Trái Đất, họ đã sử dụng nhiều hình thức giao tiếp khác nhau. Nói chung, việc biểu đạt suy nghĩ và cảm xúc này chủ yếu diễn ra dưới hình thức lời nói. Khi có rào cản ngôn ngữ, việc giao tiếp được thực hiện thông qua ngôn ngữ ký hiệu, trong đó các cử động đại diện cho chữ cái, từ ngữ và ý tưởng. Du khách, người khiếm thính và người câm thường phải dựa vào hình thức biểu đạt này. Nhiều ký hiệu biểu đạt toàn bộ từ ngữ rất sinh động và chính xác, có thể sử dụng trên phạm vi quốc tế; tuy nhiên, chính tả thì không thể như vậy. Ngôn ngữ cơ thể truyền đạt ý tưởng hoặc suy nghĩ thông qua một số hành động nhất định, dù là có chủ ý hay không. Một cái nháy mắt có thể là cách để tán tỉnh hoặc thể hiện rằng người nói chỉ đang đùa. Một cái gật đầu biểu thị sự đồng ý, trong khi lắc đầu thể hiện sự phản đối. Các hình thức khác của ngôn ngữ phi ngôn từ có thể được tìm thấy trong chữ nổi Braille (một hệ thống các chấm nổi được đọc bằng đầu ngón tay), cờ hiệu, mã Morse, và tín hiệu khói. Bản đồ đường đi và biển báo bằng hình ảnh cũng giúp hướng dẫn, cảnh báo và chỉ dẫn con người. Mặc dù lời nói là hình thức ngôn ngữ phổ biến nhất, các hệ thống và kỹ thuật khác cũng có thể diễn đạt tư tưởng và cảm xúc của con người.
