Read the following passage adapted from Cultural Guide – OALD, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D
on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 35.

The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20th century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote. In the 1960s feminism became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay. Since gender gap between the sexes has been reduced. The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for
instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs. In the same year the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made. Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry. In the US the movement that is often called the “first wave of feminism” began in the mid 1800s. Susan B. Anthony worked for the right to vote, Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the means of contraception so that they could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater opportunities to study. Many feminists were interested in other social issues. The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s. Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem became associated with the fight to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law. An
important issue was the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the
Constitution. Although the ERA was not passed, there was progress in other areas. It became illegal for
employers, schools, clubs, etc. to discriminate against women. But women still find it hard to advance
beyond a certain point in their careers, the so-called glass ceiling that prevents them from having high-
level jobs. Many women also face the problem of the second shift, i.e. the household chores.
In the 1980s, feminism became less popular in the US and there was less interest in solving the remaining problems, such as the fact that most women still earn much less than men. Although there is
still discrimination, the principle that it should not exist is widely accepted.
Question 26: It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that in the 19th century,______
A. British women did not complete their traditional supporting role B. most women did not wish to have equal status and equal rights C. British women did not have the right to vote in political elections D. suffragettes fought for the equal employment and equal pay Question 27: The phrase “gender gap” in paragraph 2 refers to_____.

Read the following passage adapted from A. Briggs’ article on culture, Microsoft® Student 2008,
and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 71 to 80.
Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term
broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it. It is directly related to
cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex. A person of
culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and
music. Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to
education. At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and
sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural
(cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and
values.
Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between
national and global cultures. Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the
latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city. The two words
are sometimes treated as synonymous. Yet this is misleading. While civilization and barbarism are
pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word
culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of
development in the 20th century. Cultures evolve or develop. They are not static. They have twists and
turns. Styles change. So do fashions. There are cultural processes. What, for example, the word
cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman)
literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university
education. No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture,
affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture. As cultures express themselves in new forms
not everything gets better or more civilized.
The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define. There is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one. The
only non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or
strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture). Since in
anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture,
the range of reference is extremely wide.
Question 71: According to the passage, the word culture____.
A. is related to the preparation and use of land for farming B. develops from Greek and Roman literature and history C. comes from a source that has not been identified D. derives from the same root as civilization does Question 72: It is stated in paragraph 1 that a cultured person_____.
B. takes care of the soil and what grows on it C. has knowledge of arts, literature, and music D. does a job relevant to education Question 73: The author remarks that culture and civilization are the two words that_____.
A. share the same word formation pattern B. are both related to agriculture and cultivation Question 74: It can be inferred from the passage that since the 20th century______.
A. schools and universities have not taught classical literature, philosophy, and history B. classical literature, philosophy, and history have been considered as core subjects C. classical literature, philosophy, and history have not been taught as compulsory subjects D. all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history Question 75: The word “attributes” in paragraph 1 most likely means______.
Question 76: The word “static” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by “_____”.
Question 77: Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?
A. Anthropology and sociology have tried to limit the references to culture. B. Distinctions have been drawn between culture and civilization. C. The word culture can be used to refer to a whole way of life of people. D. The use of the word culture has been changed since the 19th century. Question 78: It is difficult to give the definitions of the word culture EXCEPT for its______.
C. philosophical and historical meanings D. sociological and anthropological meanings Question 79: Which of the following is NOT true about the word culture?
B. Its use has been considerably changed. C. It differs from the word civilization. Question 80: The passage mainly discusses______.
A.
B. the figurative meanings of the word culture C. the derivatives of the word culture D. the multiplicity of meanings of the word culture (TT Luyện thi Đại học Vĩnh Viễn – TP.HCM)
