The Test of English as a Foreign Language (or TOEFL for short) evaluates the potential success of an individual to use and understand Standard American English at a college level. It is required for non-native applicants at many English-speaking colleges and universities. Additionally, institutions such as government agencies, businesses, or scholarship programs may require this test. A TOEFL score is valid for two years and then is deleted from the official database. Colleges and universities usually consider only the most recent score. The TOEFL test is a registered trademark of Education Testing Service and is administered worldwide. The test was first administered in 1964 and has since been*taken by nearly 20 million students. Since its introduction in late 2005, the Internet-Based test (iBT) has progressively replaced both the computer-based (CBT)and paper-based (PBT) tests. The iBT has been introduced in with the United States, Canada, France, Germany, and Italy in 2005 and the rest of the world in 2006, with test centers added regularly. Although the demand for test seats was very high, and candidates had to wait for months, it is now possible to take the test within one to four weeks in most countries. The four-hour test consists of four sections, each measuring mainly one of the basic language skills (although some tasks may require multiple skills) focusing on language used in an academic, higher-education environment. Note-taking is allowed during the iBT. The test cannot be taken more than once a week.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Computer and telecommunications are already giving us access to large amounts of information. They are increasing our brain power. As computers become more powerful they will grow more intelligent. There seems no reason why machines should not become more intelligent than people in the future. Computers will start to design and build other computers. They will then be able to evolve. There will then be two forms of "life". Many thousands of years in the future there might be competition for power between computers and life. Which will win?

Well, computers certainly have many advantages over life. They can

• process large amounts of information quickly
• be switched off for years, then start to work perfectly when they are switched back on
• be made very small, and control tiny machines
• work together in networks to solve big problems

Furthermore

• Electronics is much simpler than life's chemistry and does not need liquid water.
• Unlike animals, which rely on plants to turn sunlight into chemical energy, semiconductors (the material that" computers are made from) can turn sunlight directly into electricity.

When you compare computers to people the advantages are even more obvious

• Computers do not have the instincts to fight which people seem to have.
• It takes only a few seconds to load a program into a computer but years to educate a human.
• When computers get out of date their information can be passed to new computers, but when people get old and die all their knowledge is lost.

For all these reasons computers are believed to be more successful and important than life many thousands of years in the future. It will be computers, not people, to colonize the other planets and explore the Galaxy. Life will be left behind on Earth, as a treasured relic of where computers came from. However it is possible that computers and life might merge to make anew, even more powerful form of intelligent being.

Another may tell you how to save or spend it and another may explain how to give your money away.

Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and now to succeed in it. If you fail; however, you can buy the book “How to Turn Failure into Success”. If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book “How to Make a Millionaire”. If you never make any money at all, you may need a book called “How to Live on Nothing”.

One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If you want to have a better love of life, you can read “How to Succeed in Love every Minute of Your Life”. If you are tired of books on happiness, you may prefer books which give step- by-step instructions on how to redecorate or enlarge a house.

Why have How-to books become so popular? Probably because life has become so complex. Today people have far more free time to use, more choices to make, and more problems to solve. How-to books help people deal with modern life.

Question 30: What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to succeed in love

B. How to turn failure into success

C. How to make a millionaire

D. How-to books

Read the passage carefully and then choose the item A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage:

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father and their children, may be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we has been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class and religious customs among different American groups.

The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American Families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty – five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consist of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationship in family forms other than the traditional one.

Read a text about some young people who write for a TV show and decide if the following statements are true, false or not given by ticking the correct boxes (✓).

Teen writers on TV hit Catch

Dan Finelli is a normal teenager from North London; he goes to school, enjoys hanging out with his mates and only occasionally misses his classes. But Dan also happens to be a writer for the popular teen drama, Catch. The second series starts this week and the one-hour episode that Dan wrote, his very first for the show, will be on screen later in the year. This will make him one of the youngest writers of a peak-time drama ever.

'What's great about Catch is that the characters are exactly like the people around you,' says Dan, who also plays the part of Computer Chris in the show. 'When I'm at school and one of my friend says something funny, I write it down in my notebook and use it later in the script. I never tell them I'm doing it. I just want it to sound as real as possible,' Dan adds.

Catch is about the lives of a group of 16-18-year-olds in a sixth-form college. The school doesn't really exist, but the whole show does feel very true to life. There's an episode every week and each one concentrates on an individual member of the group and tells his or her story.

The idea for the programme came from an unusual source, a father-and-son pair of writers, Ken Thomas and his son, Callum. They took their idea to a TV company and were very surprised when the company said they were keen to make it. Now, Ken and Callum are central members of the writing team but in order to build that team, Ken had to go to theatre companies and writing groups all over London to find both writers and teens to advise on the stories.

		TRUE	FALSE	NOT GIVEN
1.	Dan's first series of the TV programme, Catch, brought him both fame and fortune.
2.	Dan is also one of the actors in Catch.
3.	Dan asks his friends if he can use the actual things they say in his writing.
4.	Catch is about a group of teenagers at a real college.
5.	Ken Thomas looked for young people to write Catch at various places around London.

Read an article about Elizabeth Taylor and choose the best answer.

Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born on February 27, 1932, in London, England. One of film's most celebrated stars, Elizabeth Taylor has fashioned a career that's covered more than six decades, accepting roles that have not only showcased her beauty, but her ability to take on emotionally charged characters.

Taylor's American parents, both art dealers, were residing in London when she was born. Soon after the outbreak of World War II, the Taylors returned to the United States and settled into their new life in Los Angeles.

Performance was in Taylor's blood. Her mother had worked as an actress until she married. At the age of 3, the young Taylor started dancing, and eventually gave a recital for Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. Not long after relocating to California a family friend suggested the Taylors' daughter take a screen test.

She soon signed a contract with Universal Studios, and made her screen debut at the age of 10 in There's One Born Every Minute (1942). She followed that up with a bigger role in Lassie Come Home (1943) and later The White Cliffs of Dover (1944).

Her breakout role, however, came in 1944 with National Velvet, in a role Elizabeth Taylor spent four months working to get. The film subsequently turned out to be a huge hit that pulled in more than $4 million and made the 12-year-old actress a huge star.

1. Which of the following is NOT true about the Taylors?

A. Her mother used to be an actress before getting married.

B. They lived in London at Taylor’s birth.

C. They were originally American.

D. Not until Taylor grew up, her family encouraged her to start with art.

2. The word ‘fashioned’ in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.

A. adapted

B. ended

C. shaped

D. changed

3. Taylor _________________________.

A. only accepted the roles to show her beauty

B. gave a performance to the royal when she was small

C. had some roles when she was at the age of 3

D. moved to Los Angeles when World War II broke out.

4. The word ‘that’ in the passage refers to __________.

A. the age of ten

B. There's One Born Every Minute

C. Universal Studios

D. the contract

5. Her role in National Velvet ____________________.

A. marked the first enormous success of Taylor

B. didn’t help to make a huge amount of money

C. took her little time of working

D. was taken when she was old

Đáp án: 1. D; 2. C; 3. B; 4. B; 5. A
