Câu 107. Microphones
Today, people from many different professions must give presentations. For example,
business people might
present their new product to an audience of potential clients in order to convince the
audience to buy Medical
doctors might present the findings from their research to an audience of other medical
professionals. Indeed, the
career success of a business person or researcher may depend on his or her ability to
communicate effectively
during such a presentation. Often, these presentations are done in front of a large group
of people in a large
room. When this is the case, it is generally necessary to use a microphone.
Unfortunately, using a microphone
can make some presenters nervous. However, if one keeps in mind a few basic tips
about using a microphone,
the presentation will go much more smoothly for presenter and audience alike.
The first tip every presenter should remember is to arrive early to the conference room.
It is necessary to test the
system before actually standing in front of the audience. To do so, the presenter should
stand about six inches
from the mike and say, " testing - testing. " If the speaker is too close to the microphone,
it will pick up his or
her breathing and high tones in the speaker's voice may cause an annoying, high -
pitched noise. The person
controlling the volume of the sound system can make adjustments. If it is too loud, the
volume can be turned
down, and vice - versa.
Also, a presenter should not lean over the microphone. Mikes are sensitive enough to
pick up one's voice from a
short distance. Bending over the mike will not help the presenter sound better. Instead,
it will probably make the
presenter look awkward. In fact, by bending over the mike, the presenter makes himself
or herself appear
smaller and less confident. It is important to project a confident appearance to conduct a
successful presentation.
Finally, presenters should remember not to touch the microphone with their mouths or
fingers. Accidentally
bumping the mike can make an unpleasant sound. Again, by standing six inches away,
the presenter will avoid
this problem. By following these tips, any presenter will feel comfortable on the day of
his or her next
presentation.
Q. According to the passage, when is it necessary to use a microphone?
A. When a presenter has a soft voice
B. When the presenter is nervous
C. When a presenter lasts longer than 30 minutes
D. When a presentation is given to a large audience
Q. Which is true of preparing to use a microphone?
A. A person should lean over a microphone
B. It is necessary to test the microphone system first
C. No early preparation is needed in most cases
D. Most people don’t like to use microphones

A. Possible B. New C. Competing D. Helpful
Q. As used in paragraph 2, what is the meaning of the word “adjustments”?
A. Purchases B. Additions C. Small changes D. Sound

Câu 109. Computer Systems
Although many people these days use and rely on computers, many do not understand
how the computer and its
equipment work. The equipment inside your computer that helps it operate is called
software. There are two
general types of software: systems and applications. Systems software has instructions
the computer needs to
run useful programs, such as keeping financial records, playing games, etc. Applications
software includes the
programs themselves.
There are three main parts of systems software: the disk - operating system (DOS),
utilities, and languages .
The DOs directs information, transferrin it from one part of the computer to another and
storing it in memory
and on disk. The DOS consists of a core and some utility programs. To put it simply, the
disc operating system
contains the information that a computer needs to function. The DOS is like a translator
between the program
and the CPU. Utilities, in contrast, tell the operating system how to work; for example,
utilities copy files from
one disk drive to another or detail exactly how something should be printed. Finally,
languages act like an
interpreter. They let users " talk " to the computers by using the keyboard, even though
they may not know
anything about how the computer works inside.
Applications software refers to the specific programs that a computer uses to do
different types of tasks. When
users play their favorite games, type a paper for school, translate something into
English, or keep records for
their businesses, they are using applications. Besides games, users are most likely to use
applications software in
the subjects of education, business, health, and word processing.
In simple terms, systems software is like the blueprint for a house Applications software
is like the furniture and
decorations people put inside the house. Users do not need to understand systems
software to use applications.
Similarly, they do not need to understand applications to use systems. Typical computer
users, in fact, will
likely never need to understand or use systems software unless they want to design or
change a software
program.
Q. Which of the following best states the topic of the passage?
A. Why most people do not need to understand systems software
B. The three parts of systems software
C. The difference between systems software and applications software
D. How a computer works
Q. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in
the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the
meaning in important ways or leave out essential information
A. Systems software is more important than applications
B. It is very important for everyone to know how the inside of a computer works.
C. Only computer experts should use applications
D. You can use a computer without knowing how the inside of it works.
Q. The word storing in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to?
A. keeping B. selling C. receiving D. including
Q. The word "tasks" in paragraph 3, could best be replaced by which of the
following ?
A. Things B. Fun C. Jobs D. Learning

Câu 111. Computers and Education
Education researchers have found that different people often have very different ways of
learning and
remembering information. For example, some students learn best by reading, some by
listening, some by seeing,
and some by actively engaging the subject. Accommodating this range of learning styles
within the classroom
presents a challenge to teachers, who already need to plan their classes so as to use
their time most effectively.
One tool that helps teachers meet the learning needs of their students is the computer.
To begin with, computers are fun to use, so they can maintain the attention of students.
Computer programs can
play music and sounds for students who learn by listening. In addition, they can display
text for students who
learn by reading. They can show multi - colored graphics, such as pictures and drawings,
for students who learn
by seeing. For instance, American children often have to learn the 50 states in their
country. Clicking on a
colorful map of the United States with a computer mouse can really help a student learn
and remember where
the different states are located.
Computers can also be helpful because they give instant feedback. Take again the
example of learning the 50
states of the US. Most American children must also learn the capitals of each state. A
computer program might
ask a student, " What is the capital of New Mexico? " If the student responds
Albuquerque, " the computer can
instantly indicate that the answer is incorrect. Next, the student responds " Santa Fe. "
This time, it flashes
beautiful colors on the screen and says the words, " Good job! You are correct! " The
student can then happily
go on to the next question.
The ways in which a computer can be helpful for education are numerous , a device that
can appeal to each
student's learning style can significantly increase the effectiveness of instruction time ,
as well as allow each
student to learn in the manner best suited for him or her As computer use becomes
more and more common in
classrooms , teachers will become more familiar with its benefits In addition, teachers
and students are sure to
discover many other wonderful aspects of computer - based learning.
Q. What does the word " they " in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Different colors B. Music and sounds
C. Computer programs D. Flashing lights
Q. What does the word "it " in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Santa Fe B. The United States D. The computer C. Feedback
Q. Which word could best replace "responds" in paragraph 3?
A. Asks B. Replies C. Remarks D. Guesses used in paragraph
Q. The word "benefits" is closest in meaning to?
A. advantages B. things C. reasons D. aspects
Q. The word " credit " in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by which of the
following?
A. Recognition B. Money C. A trophy D. Points
Q. The word " goal " in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to?
A. score B. purpose C. planning D. wish

Câu 112. Computer Development

Throughout history, people have needed tools to help them keep track of numbers.
Whether it was to keep track
of money, animals, or the days and years, people have always sought better, more
efficient ways to deal with
mathematics. The Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians used an abacus with beads to help
them. The Incas of Peru
used knots in strings to assist their calculations. Today, of course, we have calculators
and computers to perform
mathematical operations. The development of these modern mathematical tools began
in the 19th century.
Charles Babbage, a British mathematician, is the father of the modern computer.
A) Babbage is given credit for developing the principles upon which the modern
computer is based.
B) His first invention was the Difference Engine, invented in 1822.
C) It computed algebraic expressions with many terms, but could not solve other
mathematical problems. Babbage wanted a machine that could solve all mathematical
problems - one that could
do any kind of mathematical calculation.
D) To achieve this goal, Babbage designed the Analytical Engine, which was a general
purpose computing
machine. It had input storage, control, and output mechanisms. The Analytical Engine
was digital, and it was
controlled by punch cards. Punch cards are pieces of hard paper with holes punched into
them. The pattern of
holes on the card made up a kind of code that the Analytic Engine could read and use as
data. To understand this, think of a machine that counts on its fingers, which are often
referred to as digits. Babbage wanted a machine that could store thousands of figures.
Unfortunately for him, he never fully reached his goal. This would happen fifty years
later, across the Atlantic Ocean.
The United States Census Bureau was having trouble tabulating the 1880 census, and
another census was due
soon. A census agent, Herman Hollerith, was asked to invent an automated tabulating
machine to count the
1890 census. Similar to Babbage's Analytical Engine, Hollerith's invention used punch
cards. It was a success,
and Hollerith left the census bureau to form his own company, the Tabulating Machine
Company This company
became quite a large success, and in 1924, it changed its name to IBM, a computer
company known around the
world today.
Q. Based on the information in paragraph 4, what can be inferred about
Herman Hollerith?
A. He was British
B. He had never heard of Charles Babbage
C. He was familiar with Babbage's Analytical Engine
D. He was a scientist.
