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 11 to 15.
The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be blank
and empty when the individual has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also indicate stubbornness and
resistance, apprehension, or discomfort. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely
uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation. Persons in other cultural
groups value silence and see it as essential to understanding a person’s needs.
Many American Indians have this latter view of silence, as do some traditional Chinese and Japanese
persons. Therefore, when one of these persons is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied is that the
person wants the nurse to consider the content of what has been said before continuing.
Other cultures may use silence in yet other ways. For example, English and Arabic persons use silence for
privacy, whereas Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to indicate agreement between parties.
Some persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly toward an elder. Mexicans may
use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than showing the disrespect of
disagreement.

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 31 to 35.
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. While less adaptable to the codification of words, sings contain greater
meaning in and of themselves. A top 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. As a result,
means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech.
Radio, television and the telephone are only a few of such means.

A. more difficult to describe than forms of communication
B. an interruption in the environment
C. less able to to be adapted to refer to speech
D. none of these

A. a signal
B. a sign
C. a symbol
Question 33: It may be concluded from the passage that ______.
A. symbols are very easy to define and interpret
B. only some cultures have signals, signs and symbols
C. waving and handshaking are not related to culture
D. signs, signals, symbol and gestures are forms of communication
Question 34: The underlined word “intricate” could best replaced by ______.
A. inefficient
B. historical
C. feasible
Question 35: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Means of communications
B. Gestural communication
C. Signs and signals
D. Speech variations
D. a gesture
D. complicated

Blue Moon
Trang 5/4 - Mã đề thi 157
“Blue Moon” is a term that is used to describe the phenomenon of a second full moon occurring in one
month. How could two full moons possibly occur in a single month? It is not nature’s fault; the natural phrases of
the moon do not perfectly match up with the Roman calendar.
Although still used today, this calendar was devised by Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar over 2000
years ago. While the calendar works well, the method that they used does not match the lunar cycle exactly.
Thus, occasionally the moon will go through its “full” phrase twice before the month changes.
A “blue moon” is an uncommon event. And it rare occurrence of an eventually led to the usage of the
