Read the following passage and mark the letter A, Β, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care.
View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to
where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider. Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to
begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as "Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?" There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job
features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you. The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If not, there are diversity occupation - building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields is concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country. If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a
career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission. Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or
negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as you get mature, you will likely to develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.
Question 29. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. questions Β. answers C. features D. jobs

Câu 29: Đáp án C

Theo thông tin xuất hiện ở cuối đoạn 4 “Another point to consider is that as you get mature, you will be likely to develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.” (dịch: Một điểm khác nữa cần cân nhắc đó là khi bạn trưởng thành bạn sẽ có thể phát triển những sở thích mới và kỹ năng mới mà có thể hướng tới những cơ hội mới.

B. To make lots of money, you should rule out all factory jobs. (để kiếm được nhiều tiền, bạn nên loại trừ tất cả các công việc làm ở nhà máy) → sai vì thông tin này không được đề cập trong bài đọc.
C. If you want an easy and glamorous lifestyle, you should consider becoming a flight attendant
(Nếu bạn muốn một phong cách sống sung sướng và dễ dàng, bạn nên cân nhắc trở thành một tiếp viên hàng không) → sai vì tiếp viên hàng không phải làm việc nhiều giờ mà không được ngủ.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, Β, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Baseball evolved from a number of different ball-and-stick games (paddle ball, trap ball, oneold-cat, rounders, and town ball) originating in England. As early as the American Revolution, it was noted that troops played “baseball" in their free time. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright formalized the New York Knickerbockers’ version of the game: a diamond shaped infield, with bases ninety feet apart, three strikes-you’re-out, batter out on a caught ball, three outs perinning, a nine-man
team. The “New York Game” spread rapidly, replacing earlier localized forms. From its beginnings, baseball was seen as a way of satisfying the recreational needs of an increasingly urban-industrial society. At its inception it was played by and for wealthy gentlemen. A club might consist of 40 members. The president would appoint two captains who would choose teams from among the
members. Games were played on Monday and Thursday afternoons, with the losers often providing a lavish evening’s entertainment for the winners.
During the 1850-70 period the game was changing; however, with increasing commercialism (charging admission), under-the-table payments to exceptional players, and gambling on the outcome of games. By 1868 it was said that a club would have their regular professional ten, an amateur first-nine, and their "muffins" (the gentlemanly duffers who once ran the game). Beginning
with the first openly all-salaried team (Cincinnati’s Red Stocking Club) in 1869, the 1870-1890 period saw the complete professionalization of baseball, including formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Players in 1871. The National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs was formed in 1876, run by business-minded investors in joint-stock company clubs. The 1880s has been called Major League Baseball’s “Golden Age”. Profits soared, player’s salaries
rose somewhat, a season of 84 games became one of 132, a weekly periodical “The Sporting News” came into being, wooden stadiums with double-deck stands replaced open fields, and the standard refreshment became hot dogs, soda pop and peanuts. In 1900 the Western League based in the growing cities of the Midwest proclaimed itself the American League.
Question 36. What is the passage mainly about?
A. the origins of baseball
Β. the commercialization of baseball
C. the influence of the "New York Game" on baseball
D. the development of baseball in the nineteenth century

Câu 36: Đáp án D
Theo thông tin xuất hiện xuyên suốt bài đọc, ý chính của bài về sự phát triển của môn bóng chày ở thế kỷ thứ 19.
Question 37. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. the wealthy gentlemen who first played baseball, later needed to find another recreational
opportunity if they did not want to mix with others or become a “muffin”
Β. hot dogs would not have become as popular as they did, without the professionalism and
commercialism that developed in baseball
C. the "New York Game" spread rapidly because it was better formalized
D. business-minded investors were only interested in profits

Câu 37: Đáp án C
Theo thông tin xuất hiện ở đoạn 1, đặc biệt “The New York Game” spread rapidly, replacing earlier localized forms”, ta có thể suy ra từ bài này New York Game phát triển nhanh vì nó được thể thức hóa và thay thế các hình thức chơi phổ thông trước.
Question 38. The word "inception" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. requirements Β. beginning C. insistence D. rules

Prolonged (kéo dài), grand (rất quan trọng), extensive (mở rộng)

Question 40. According to the second paragraph, all of the following are true EXCEPT _______.
A. commercialism became more prosperous
Β. the clubs are smaller
C. outstanding players got extra income
D. people gamed on the outcome of games

Câu 40: Đáp án C
A. commercialism became more prosperous (việc thương mại hóa đã trở nên thuận lợi hơn) → đúng (thông tin xuất hiện ngay đầu đoạn 2)
B. the clubs are smaller (các câu lạc bộ nhỏ hơn) → đúng (a club would have their regular professional ten)
D. people gambled on the outcome of games (mọi người các cược về kết quả của trận đấu) → đúng (thông tin xuất hiện đầu đoạn 2)
Như vậy thông tin không đúng trong bài là các cầu thủ nổi bật sẽ có thể có thu nhập thêm, trong bài chỉ nhắc đến “under-the-table payments to exceptional players” (trả tiền bí mật cho những cầu thủ giỏi) vì thời đó các cầu thủ bóng chày chưa được trả lương.

Β. a weekly periodical commenced
C. the National Association of Professional Baseball Players was formed
