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 30 to 34.
Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body
language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that body
language varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected to
look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In other cultures the opposite is true. Looking
directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect.
Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In North
America people don't generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two North Americans
who don't know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas South Americans
in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than two feet
apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them.
Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or move any
other part of the body – to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean that people all over
the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same gestures
can communicate different meanings, depending on the country. An example of a gesture that could be
misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some Trang 3


places it communicates ridicule.
The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough to learn the language
of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate successfully.
Question 30: What is the passage mainly about?
A. The significance of non-verbal signals in America
B. Misunderstandings in communication
C. Interpretations of gestures in different cultures
D. Non-verbal communication across cultures
Question 31: The word "intimacy" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______. A. enjoyment B. closeness C. strength D. agreement
Question 32: The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to ______. A. an example B. making a mistake C. the country
D. sticking out the tongue
Question 33: As stated in the passage, in order to communicate successfully with people from another
culture, it is advisable for a person ______.
A. to learn only non-verbal signals of that culture
B. to travel to as many countries as possible
C. to use the body language of the people from that culture
D. to learn both the language and non-verbal signals of that culture
Question 34: Which form of body language is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. posture B. gesture C. distance D. eye movement
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 35 to 42.
In this modern world where closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras are everywhere and
smartphones in every pocket, the routine filming of everyday life is becoming pervasive. A number of
countries are rolling out body cams for police officers; other public-facing agencies such as schools,
councils and hospitals are also experimenting with cameras for their employees. Private citizens are
getting in on the act too: cyclists increasingly wear headcams as a deterrent to aggressive drivers. As
camera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isn't hard to envisage a future where we're all filming
everything all the time, in every direction.
Would that be a good thing? There are some obvious potential upsides. If people know they are on
camera, especially when at work or using public services, they are surely less likely to misbehave. The
available evidence suggests that it discourages behaviours such as vandalism. Another upside is that it
would be harder to get away with crimes or to evade blame for accidents.
But a world on camera could have subtle negative effects. The deluge of data we pour into the
hands of Google, Facebook and others has already proved a mixed blessing. Those companies would no Trang 4


doubt be willing to upload and curate our body-cam data for free, but at what cost to privacy and freedom of choice?
Body-cam data could also create a legal minefield. Disputes over the veracity and interpretation of
police footage have already surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they
didn't happen. Alternatively, footage could be faked or doctored to dodge blame or incriminate others.
Of course, there's always the argument that if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to
fear. But most people have done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would
prefer they hadn't been caught on film. People already censor their social media feeds – or avoid doing
anything incriminating in public – for fear of damaging their reputation. Would ubiquitous body cams
have a further chilling effect on our freedom?
The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the attributes that make us human. We
are natural gossips and backbiters, and while those might not be desirable behaviours, they oil the wheels
of our social interactions. Once people assume they are being filmed, they are likely to clam up.
The argument in relation to body-cam ownership is a bit like that for guns: once you go past a
critical threshold, almost everyone will feel they need one as an insurance policy. We are nowhere near
that point yet – but we should think hard about whether we really want to say "lights, body cam, action."
Question 35: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The current public obsession with modern technology
B. The ubiquity of cameras and ensuing problems
C. Legal disputes fuelled by body-cam data
D. Data overload experienced by social network users
Question 36: The word "envisage" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______. A. embrace B. fantasise C. reject D. visualize
Question 37: As mentioned in paragraph 2, misbehaviour can be discouraged if potential offenders ______.
A. are aware of being filmed at the time
B. know that they may be subjected to criticism
C. realise that they may be publicly punished
D. are employed in the public sector
Question 38: The phrase "a mixed blessing" in paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A. something that is neither good nor bad
B. something that produces unexpected results
C. something that has both advantages and disadvantages
D. something either negative or positive in nature
Question 39: What does the author imply in paragraph 3? Trang 5
