I. LISTENING — Section 1 (Q1–8) (TTS từ transcript)
Transcript — I. LISTENING — Section 1 (Q1–8) (TTS từ transcript)
LISA: I finally read the article about Akira Miyake's study on gender in physics. GREG: The researchers were a mix of psychologists and physicists. LISA: The students weren't majoring in physics — they were majoring in STEM: science, technology, engineering and math, but all doing physics courses. GREG: Miyake wanted to find out what they could do about women's relatively low physics results. LISA: Female students thought men assumed women weren't good at physics. GREG: They were wrong; no one was making that assumption. Values-affirmation: students wrote about things significant to them — music, people who mattered. GREG: Putting thoughts into words relaxes them and helps overcome psychological factors. Unexpectedly this raised women's grades from C to B. GREG: Miyake's article left out a lot of details — once or several times? Had they been told why? That might have affected the results. GREG: For our project we could investigate whether it really was the writing. LISA: We could ask them to do a more factual writing task. GREG: Or half writing and half an oral task. LISA: Or half the same writing task and half a factual one. That's it. LISA: Smolinsky found men and women got the same results in teams or on their own. LISA: Next we could look at the science timetable, or make an appointment with a science professor. That'd be better. GREG: We could even observe a class. LISA: What for? GREG: OK, let's just go with your idea.

III. READING — Passage 1 Christophe Petyt (Q41–50)
Choose A, B, C or D.
Christophe Petyt is sitting in a Paris café, listing the adornments of his private art collection, several Van Goghs, and a comprehensive selection of the better Impressionists. 'I can,' he says quietly, 'really get to know any painting I like, and so can you.' Half an hour later I am sitting in his office with Degas's The Jockeys on my lap. If fine art looks good in a gallery, believe me, it feels even better in your hands. Petyt is the world's leading dealer in fake masterpieces. Name the painting and for as little as £1,000 he will deliver you a copy so well executed that even the original artist might have been taken in.
Petyt's company employs over eighty painters, each steeped in the style of a particular artist or school. They're usually people with very good technique but not much creativity. Every work is individually commissioned, using new canvases and traditional oil paints, before being artificially aged.
The notional value of the original is not the determining factor when setting the retail value of Petyt's paintings; this is linked to effort and expertise. An obscure miniature may cost much more than a better-known painting. A few minutes in a hot oven can put years on a canvas; black tea stains it; new frames can be buried then sprayed with acid. [I]
He was pursued through the French courts by museums and by descendants of the artists. This concern was perhaps understandable in a country rocked by art fraud scandals. 'The establishment was suspicious of us for the wrong reasons. Some people want to keep all the best art for themselves.' He won the case: works of any artist dead for seventy years can be freely copied, provided the copy is not passed off as real. [II] Every new painting is marked on the back; a tiny piece of gold leaf is worked into the paint.
Until he started the business, Petyt barely knew one artist from another. Then one Van Gogh caught his eye. [III] At $10 million it was beyond his reach, so an art-student friend painted a copy. He organised an exhibition; in two weeks they'd sold the lot.
Petyt's paintings are exhibited in places with lavish houses. Owners include rock stars, fashion designers and top businesspeople who cannot afford or cannot obtain great works. [IV] 'The best paintings are so valuable it's risky to have them at home… some collectors keep the original in a bank vault and hang our copy.'
The writer implies in paragraph 1 that he shares ______
Petyt's enjoyment of the works of a range of painters.
the art world's suspicious attitude towards Petyt's activities.
Petyt's desire to appreciate great works of art at close quarters.
the general inability to distinguish copies from real paintings.
Which best paraphrases: Name the painting and for as little as £1,000 he will deliver you a copy so well executed that even the original artist might have been taken in.
When given £1,000, he will cheat the real artist out of his painting with a copy then send it to you.
The lowest price to have the original artist create a fake painting as good as the real one is £1,000.
Spend no more than £1,000 and you can buy a carefully copied version produced by its author.
With just about £1,000, you can get him to produce a replica which can even deceive the real author.
The word commissioned in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to ______
supervised strictly.
ordered in advance.
featured prominently.
reproduced accurately.
The phrase This concern in paragraph 4 refers to ______
the support Petyt gets from art dealers.
Petyt's belief that his business is legal.
the widespread art fraud scandals in France.
the legal action against Petyt.
How does Petyt feel about the attempts to prove that his activities were illegal?
He regrets that they gained the support of other art dealers in France.
He accepts that they were useful in helping to establish his integrity.
He respects the right of the real artists' families to protect their interests.
He suspects that they were not driven by public-spirited motives.
What can be inferred about the French legal and cultural landscape regarding art from paragraph 4?
Petyt's legal victory has led to a completely unregulated market for art copies in France.
French law strictly prohibits all forms of art reproduction, regardless of intent.
France maintains a vigilant and skeptical stance towards art replication businesses.
The French art establishment is generally open to innovative approaches to art distribution.
What is implied about the majority of Petyt's customers?
They have little genuine interest in contemporary art.
They may buy the paintings purely as a form of financial investment.
They regard works of art as a lifestyle accessory.
They are wealthy enough to buy the original works of art if they wanted.
Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
The notional value of the originals is not the determining factor in valuing Petyt's paintings.
Petyt's employees make copies of the paintings on individual request.
The paintings produced in Petyt's company are made to look like the originals.
Painters in Petyt's company have been seriously trained in the techniques of forgery.
Where does this sentence best fit? "Petyt is understandably reluctant to name any of his clients, but says that sometimes even the owner of the original will order a copy."
[IV]
[II]
[III]
[I]
Which of the following best summarises the passage?
That Petyt was opposed by museums and descendants does not prevent copying masterpieces from becoming popular.
Despite obstacles, Christophe Petyt has turned the production of exact copies of masterpieces into big business.
The notional value of originals is overshadowed by affordable fake prices, which makes fakes sell well.
Petyt's paintings meet the demands of those who cannot afford originals and enable him to earn a fortune.
III. READING — Passage 2 headings (Q51–54)
Choose the correct heading i–viii for paragraphs A–D.
i. A three-part journey through Vietnam's most important holiday ii. The problem with modern travel guides iii. The forgotten political messages in Thach Lam's writing iv. Listening to the silence after the firecrackers fade v. Why a bowl of noodles can be considered a work of art vi. Finding a city's heartbeat in quiet moments, not grand monuments vii. How one writer turned ordinary street food into cultural treasure viii. Why fourteen short essays outlast skyscrapers
A. Published over eighty years ago, Thach Lam's writing on Hanoi's 36 streets teaches readers to see a city through everyday moments. A member of the Self-Reliance Literary Group, he focused on ordinary beauty: night cries on Hang Bac Street, sticky rice from Vong Village. B. Thach Lam writes about bun cha as if its inventor were a creative artist: grilled meat on bamboo skewers, noodles, dipping sauce, and Lang mint in careful balance. C. He traces the rhythm of Tet in three acts: the buzz before, the quiet during when firecrackers echo, and the emptiness afterwards. D. The 1943 book contains fourteen short essays. It is a bridge between past and present that teaches readers to value simple beauty — a bowl of pho, a vendor's smile — long after skyscrapers have changed the skyline.
