Transcript — SECTION ONE — LISTENING Part I
Man: Hello, Mrs. Kelly. I'd like to pick up my test, please.
Woman: Sure. Whose class are you in?
Man: Dr. Purcell's math class.
Woman: And your name?
Man: My last name is Raleigh. R-A-L-E-I-G-H.
Woman: That's right. Jim Raleigh. Here it is.
Man: Thank you. And Terry Young's test, too, please.
Woman: Oh, I'm sorry. I can't let you take someone else's test.
Man: He's sick, and he can't come in to get it. He's my roommate.
Woman: I understand. But the privacy act won't permit it.
Man: Really? Maybe you could call him.

Man: That's weird.
Woman: I think so, too, frankly, but that's the law.
Man: Okay. I'll tell Terry. Thanks anyway.

SECTION ONE — LISTENING Part II
Transcript — SECTION ONE — LISTENING Part II
Interviewer: Today I am talking to our science reporter, Ryan, who has been looking at the current National Science and Engineering Competition. Tell me Ryan, what exactly is this competition and who can enter?

Ryan: It’s aimed at young scientists and engineers who have developed new Ideas completely of their own. They may be school projects or something they’ve done as a hobby, and the winners are awarded prizes and named Young Scientist and Young Engineer of the Year. Anyone aged 18 or under can take part, although the science category was won by a 17-year-old last year, as was the engineering one. The competition covers every area of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and is intentionally broadly based so as to encourage as many young people as possible to enter.

Interviewer: Has this competition been going long?

Ryan: It’s been an annual event since 2009, although it became much bigger in 2010 once more people became aware of it. And then the media started to take an interest in the Big Bang Fair, where the winners are announced. From that year on, there have been lectures by top speakers, and shows put on by national television channels.

Interviewer: What’s the Big Bang Fair all about?

Ryan: It’s a three-day fair for school students interested in science and engineering, with lots of things to do like interactive science quizzes, games and activities. For instance, one boy had set up a non-moving bicycle, like those you find in a gym, and was pedalling away energetically. But this was about electricity rather than exercise, with a challenge to anyone present to generate more than he could, as measured by the attached equipment. Nobody managed to, at least while I was there.

Interviewer: So they have a good time there, learning about Physics and Biology and things like that? Trang 3/4

Ryan: Yes, there’s a plenty of fun things to do. But its real purpose is more serious: to promote careers in those subjects, especially where there is a national skills gap in particular areas. This is done in a wide range of ways, and a study into how this can be extended is currently being carried out by the Centre for Science Education.

Interviewer: How many people go to the fair and who are they?

Ryan: The total number of people at the most recent one was over 22,500, of whom at least two-thirds, according to the figures I have, would have been of secondary-school age, with teachers and parents making up rather less than a quarter between them. Over 110 public and private organisations from across the country were represented, and it was clear that everyone there had a genuine desire to raise awareness of young people's achievements in science and technology.

Interviewer: How many of them were actually involved in the competition?

Ryan: People can enter either as individuals or as part of a team, so that whereas in total 193 projects were presented, there were actually 312 competitors working in the fields of science, technology, mathematics and engineering.

Interviewer: What kind of projects were there?

Ryan: In one I particularly liked, the team built quite complicated structures in the shape of road bridges ... entirely in chocolate. Most were surprisingly strong, though of course any that collapsed could simply be eaten, in another, a team managed to convert coffee into a gas that then became the source of energy for a car, successfully covering the 300 kilometres to the fair. Finding alternatives to petrol as a fuel was a common theme, not surprisingly, with many entries aimed at reducing the amount of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere.

Interviewer: How is the winning entry decided?

Ryan: The final is held at the Big Bang Fair, where the number of entries is reduced to a shortlist of six. Neither individuals nor teams need to make a formal presentation to a big audience, but they are expected to be able to give a clear explanation, going into some detail about their project so that it can be properly assessed by the five judges.They may well be asked things about it, too, partly to see how well they respond to questions.

Interviewer: So it’s not only the quality of the work they do that counts?

Ryan: Well, that’s the main thing of course, but they also take into account their communication skills as the winners may have the chance to speak in public, including on TV, on behalf of young scientists and engineers.

Interviewer: That must appeal to quite a lot of teenagers.

Ryan: Yes, it certainly does.

Interviewer: So when do we know who’s won this year?

Ryan: It's quite a long process. So although all entries had to be in by October the thirty-first, we'll have to wait until nearly the spring to find out. It'll actually be on the first day of the next Big Bang Fair, which runs from March the eleventh to the thirteenth.

Interviewer: I’m sure that will be followed with a lot of interest. Thank you, Ryan.

SECTION ONE — VOCABULARY & GRAMMAR Part III (Error correction)

The following passage contains 10 mistakes. Identify each mistake and write the correction. Example (0): constructions → construction. (10 pts.)

In the 20th century, with the constructions of a national highway system, movement in the US became direct associated with the automobiles. The resulting growth in car ownership brought millions of Americans access to personal transportation and the opportunity to travel. Increased mobilization meant that taking a vacation became an American tradition, yet in doing so, children learned about their heritage by visiting historical sites and landmarks. Also, national parks regarded as a favorite choice – the pristine beauty of nature providing a sharp contrast to urban sprawl. It was this desire to explore their country which led people to take a family road trip, which became part of American culture. One road came to symbolize the iconic American road trip more than any other – Route 66. Stretched from Chicago to California, it was known as the “mother road” as it saw millions of people make their way across America, all bound to the West. By connecting the main streets of small towns, Route 66 helped transform the far West from a rural frontier into a thriving metropolitan region. However, with an the advent of faster highways, Route 66 fell out of use. Having featured in novels, films, and music, Route 66 now still retains its place like a symbol of the open road, freedom, and opportunity.

SECTION TWO — Reading comprehension

Read the passage and choose the correct answer. Official Q26–35. (10 pts.)

For hundreds of years, Rome was arguably the greatest civilization in the world. It started as a small town on the
Tiber River in the Italian Peninsula. Then, first as a republic and later as an empire, it grew so that it controlled a huge
amount of land in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Then, in the fifth century A.D., the Roman Empire collapsed.
Rome would never again be a great power in the world.
There were many reasons that the Roman Empire fell. [I] For instance, there were breakdowns in its political,
economic, and social organization. [II] In addition, the empire itself had been split into two halves - an eastern and a
western empire. This was done with the intention of strengthening Rome, but in reality, the move actually weakened it.
The final major reason for the fall of Rome was a series of invasions of its land by Germanic tribes. [III]
For many years before its fall, Rome had been in turmoil. Emperors reigned for short periods of time before they
were deposed and replaced by someone else. [IV] The empire was in a seemingly constant state of civil war, which disrupted
Roman society. The Romans began to depend upon foreigners to man the armies that they kept on the borders of the empire.
These foreigners had little or no allegiance to the empire, so Rome's defenses were weakened. Rome's economy also went
into decline. Most of the free people in the empire were either rich elites or lowly farmers. There was no strong middle class
in the empire. Corruption at all levels of the government caused additional economic problems.
In an effort to solve many of these problems, Emperor Diocletian split the Roman Empire into two halves in the late
fourth century. The Eastern Roman Empire, which later became known as the Byzantine Empire, started to flourish. Its
emperor ruled from the city Constantinople, which was built by Emperor Constantine I. As for the Western Roman Empire,
which was ruled from Rome, it declined further. During the fifth century, barbarian invaders conquered much of its territory.
Its border lands were overrun. Finally, the last emperor, Romulus Augustus, was overthrown by Germanic invaders led
by Odoacer. He then assumed the title of king of Rome.

Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?

Which of the following statements does paragraph 2 support?

What does the author point out by writing that “Rome had been in turmoil” in paragraph 3?

The word “allegiance” in paragraph 3 is CLOSEST in meaning to ______.

Which of the following is true regarding Rome's armies?

Why does the author talk about the Eastern Roman Empire?

In paragraph 4, the word “He” refers to ______.

What happened to the Western Roman Empire after Diocletian divided it?

According to the passage, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT:

Where would the following sentence be best inserted into the passage?
“In 476, they sacked Rome and overthrew the last Roman emperor in the west.”
