SECTION 3: READING (2.5 points)
Part 1: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
(0.875 pt)
The roots of Canadian English can be found in the events which followed the American Revolution of 1776.
Those who had supported Britain found themselves unable to stay in the new United States, and most went into
exile in the Ontario region of Canada. From there they spread to all parts of the country. They were soon followed
by many thousands who were attracted by the cheapness of land. Within fifty years, the population of Upper
Canada (above Montreal) reached 100,000 - mainly people from the United States.
In the east, the Atlantic Provinces had been settled by English speakers much earlier (the first contacts
were as early as 1497, when the British explorer John Cabot claimed Newfoundland), but even today these
Thạc sĩ: Nguyễn Ngọc An- THPT Chuyên Lê Quý Đôn
Page 4
Thạc sĩ: Nguyễn Ngọc An- THPT Chuyên Lê Quý Đôn
Page 4
areas contain less than 10 percent of the population, so they have only a marginal role in the development of the
Canadian "norm". In Quebec, the use of French language and culture remains from the first period of
exploration, with the majority of people using French as their mother tongue: here, English and French coexist
uneasily.
Because of its origins, Canadian English has a great deal in common with the rest of the English spoken in
North America, and is often difficult to distinguish for people who live outside the region. To British people,
Canadians may sound American; to Americans, they may sound British. Canadians themselves insist on not being
identified with either, and certainly there is a great deal of evidence in support of this view.
1. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. The Main Provinces in Canada
C. The Origins of Canadian English
B. The Settlement of the English in Canada
D. The Different English Branches
2. Why did the Britain's supporters go to Canada at the very beginning?
A. Because it was cooler in Canada in summer
B. Because they were defeated and forced to leave for Canada
C. Because they were attracted by the cheapness of land in Canada
D. Because they all hated the new United States
3. In the second paragraph, the word 'marginal' is closest in meaning to ______.
A. special
B. optional
C. international
D. unimportant
4. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. People who speak English may find it a little difficult to live in Quebec.
B. English and French can't coexist in Quebec.
C. English settled in Quebec earlier than French.
D. People in Quebec hated using English as their mother tongue.
5. In the last paragraph, the phrase 'in common' is closest in meaning to ______.
A. different
B. similar
C. variety
D. ordinary
6. In the last line of the passage, the phrase 'this view' refers to______.
A. Canadian English
B. Canadian English sounds British
C. Canadian English sounds like either British English or American English
D. Canadian English has much in common with the rest of the English spoken in North America
7. According to the passage, all of the following have contributed to the origins of Canadian
English EXCEPT ______.
A. the American Revolution of 1776
B. Newfoundland being claimed by British explorer John Cabot
C. the interactions between English and French
D. people's discussions about British English and American English

Modern forms of communication such as email and messaging have reduced the amount of time people
spend seeing their friends. This has had a negative effect on their social lives.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Sample:
Electronic messaging and emails have changed our social lives and the way we communicate with
our friends. However, it is not at all certain that our social lives are worse as a result. In many ways, they
are better.
In the past, people communicated by letter or by phone. They used to meet and see each other only
when they had time. Because people led busy lives, often they did not have any communication with some
of their friends for months. As a consequence, their relationship suffered.
Nowadays, we can be in constant contact with all our friends using social website and instant
messaging without even leaving our rooms. As a result, our social relationships are much closer. For
example, in my case I spend about an hour chatting to friends from all over the world everyday on my
Thạc sĩ: Nguyễn Ngọc An- THPT Chuyên Lê Quý Đôn

Page 7
Page 7
computer. I know how they are, what they are thinking and what they are doing. In the past this was not
possible and I might have communicated with some of these friends only once or twice a year.
I think it is also difficult to argue that modern forms of communication have reduced the amount
people see each other. In my experience, the amount people go out and meet each other has increased. It
has become easier to organize parties, and young people especially are able to introduce their friends to
each other and in this way increase their social circle.
In conclusion, I disagree entirely statement in the question and firmly believe that modern
communications have greatly improved people’s social lives. (261 words)
