Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating
without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols and gestures may be found in every known culture. The
basic function of a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as,
for example, the dots and dashes of telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for
communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in
and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently.
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship
with the receiver's cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with
an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain
cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage. They
usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. Without
an exchange of ideas, interaction come to a halt. As a result, means of communication intended to be
used for long distances and extended periods must be based upon speech. To radio, television and the
telephone, one must add fax, paging systems, electronic mail, and the Internet, and no doubts but that
there are more means of communication on the horizon.
Question 36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Signs and signals B. Gestures C. Communication D. Speech

Question 37. What does the author say about speech?

A. It is necessary for communication to occur.
B. It is the most advanced form of communication.
C. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.
D. It is the only true form of communication.
Question 38. The phrase “impinge upon” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. prohibit B. improve C. vary D. intrude: chạm, tác động

Question 39. The word “it” in paragraph refers to _____.

A. signal B. Function C. way D. environment

Question 40. Applauding was cited as an example of _____.

A. a sign B. a gesture C. a signal D. a symbol

Question 41. Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented?

A. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances.

B. Because people wanted new forms of communication.

C. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols.

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 43 to 50.

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the

atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely.
Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous changes. When the first
air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were
limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful
substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of
various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even
water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen
oxides are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was
altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles.
These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to
the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting
from human activities.

However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such a region,
human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of
the cycles. The result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at
which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants
would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a
substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of
an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For
example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0. 08 parts per million (ppm), which is
about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of 0. 1 ppm and
is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.

A. What constitutes an air pollutant.

B. How much harm air pollutants can cause.

C. The economic impact of air pollution.

D. The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere

Question 44. The word “adversely” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.

Question 46. The word “these” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.

C. the various chemical reactions D. the components in biogeochemical cycles

Question 47. For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in

controlling air pollution?

A. They're less harmful to living beings than other pollutants.

B. They function as part of a purification: lọc process.

C.They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.

D. They have existed since the Earth developed.

Question 48. According to the passage, human- generated air pollution in localized regions
_____.

A. Will react harmfully with natural pollutants.

B. Can overwhelm the natural system removing pollutants.

C. Will damage area outside of the localized regions.

Question 49. The word “localized” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to .

A. surrounded B. encircled C. specified D. circled

Question 50. According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a
substance is only useful if .

A. it can be calculated quickly B. it is in a localized area

C. the natural level is also known D. the other substances in the area are known
