VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Arthur Dove
Arthur Dove was an abstract nature painter whose work was radically different and
underappreciated in the American art scene.
[1] In fact, Dove was the first American artist to paint in an entirely abstract manner. [2]
He painted a set of six abstract works around 1910, prior to the European artist Wassily
Kandinsky’s famous abstract compositions. [3] Kandinsky’s abstract work, however,
complemented the cultural context in Europe, and was therefore appreciated. Dove’s
work had no similar cultural context in America. [4]
Overall, Dove's abstract paintings did nothing to change Amercican art. His work was not
once but twice orphaned: by the general indifference of the Amercican public, and by
his own reclusive nature. Nevertheless, Dove's abstract paintings remain interesting
compositions on nature.
Dove once wrote, “I would like to make something that is real in itself, or to be real
without looking like something else, that does not remind anyone of any other thing, and
that does not have to be explained, like the letter A for instance.”
Question 45: What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. to discuss the effects of Dove’s work on Europe

A. Because there were too many abstract nature painters at the time.
B. Because his paintings did nothing to change society.
C. Because they did not have a cultural context in America.
D. Because America was not interested in European painters.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Television
An American TV network has had an international hit with the drama "24”. a thriller
known for its suspense and often graphic violence. Over the past year, controversy has
surrounded the series because of its portrayal of Muslim terrorists and its frequent scenes
of torture. But the content of “24” is not the only thing that would have been unthinkable
on prime−time television 20 years ago. Its form also represents a major change in modem
TV: during each episode’s 44 minutes − a real−time hour, minus 16 minutes for
commercials – the show connects the lives of 21 different characters, each with their own
personalities and specific relationships with other characters. Nine different story lines (or
“threads") arc depicted, eachinvolving events and information revealed in previous
episodes. [ I ]
[2] For years many people have assumed that popular culture is in a state of decline
rapidly degenerating into “junk culture" with no worthwhile purpose. But an interesting
new book challenges that assumption. “Everything Bad is Good for You: How Today’s
Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter," by Steven Johnson, makes a persuasive
argument that today’s complex TV dramas and other pop culture Products gives healthy
mental exercise. He calls the use or complex, interwoven plot lines involving multiple
characters “multi−threading”, and it is a new and growing phenomenon in TV To keep up
with shows like “24", he points out, you must “pay attention, make inferences, track
shifting social relationships", and these cognitive challenges are changịng our mental
development for the better. [3]
[4] The most obvious change in the last five years of narrative entertainment is the rise of
VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí
reality TV, Surely, you might be thinking, watching “Survivor" or “The Bachelor” cannot
possibly raise anyone's IQ “Survivor” is now in its tenth season, and “The Bachelor” is in
its seventh. But as Johnson tells us lately “even the junk has improved”. The new reality
shows are like games: they arc series of competitive tests, each more challenging than the
last, and with rules that must be learned as you play. On “Survivor" for instance, the
participants and the audience know the general objective of the game but each episode
brings new challenges that require quick thinking. Success in these games calls for the
intellectual labor of finding the weak spots in the rules and in your opponents. This labor
is done not just by the stars of the shows but the viewers at home as well. This is what
makes these shows such fun to watch − the human mind enjoys being challenged. As
Johnson writes, “There’s real pleasure ... in solving puzzles, detecting patterns or
understanding a complex narrative system.”

A. The decline of TV today
