Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions. 
 Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety. Instead, critics of 
globalization believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed. The debate over 
globalization is about what the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages can 
grow while its problems can be solved. 
 On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade 
and investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom 
of choice. With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries 
to the developing countries. Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taxes make 
goods produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy. Producers of goods gain by selling to a 
wider market. More competition keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to 
spread and benefit others. 
 On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty, 
inequality, social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage. They say that the most 
developed nations – the United States, Germany, and Japan – succeeded not because of free trade but 
because of protectionism and subsidies. They argue that the more recently successful economies of South 
Korea, Taiwan, and China all had strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neo-
liberalism. These critics think that government encouragement of “infant industries” – that is, industries 
that are just beginning to develop – enables a country to become internationally competitive. 
 Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of 
money from speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles. These bubbles are characterized by 
the rapid inflow of foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values. When the 
economy cannot sustain such expectation, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out of 
the country. 
 Trang 3/5 - Mó đề thi 305 Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization 
itself but rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment. The question raised 
by nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization 
will result in a rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering 
living standards and undermining environmental regulations. 
 One of the key problems of the 21st century will be determining to what extent markets should be 
regulated to promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global 
scale. 
 From “Globalization” by Tabb, William K., Microsoft đ Student 2009 [DVD]

Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the questions. 
 The lack of printing regulations and the unenforceability of British copyright law in the American 
colonies made it possible for colonial printers occasionally to act as publishers. Although they rarely 
undertook major publishing project because it was difficult to sell books as cheaply as they could be 
imported from Europe, printers in Philadelphia did publish work that required only small amounts of 
capital, paper, and type. Broadsides could be published with minimal financial risk. Consisting of only 
one sheet of paper and requiring small amounts of type, broadsides involved lower investments of capital 
than longer works. Furthermore, the broadside format lent itself to subjects of high, if temporary, interest, 
enabling them to meet with ready sale. If the broadside printer miscalculated, however, and produced a 
sheet that did not sell, it was not likely to be a major loss, and the printer would know this immediately. 
There would be no agonizing wait with large amounts of capital tied up, books gathering dust on the 
shelves, and creditors impatient for payment. 
 In addition to broadsides, books and pamphlets, consisting mainly of political tracts, catechisms, 
primers, and chapbooks were relatively inexpensive to print and to buy. Chapbook were pamphlet-sized 
books, usually containing popular tales, ballads, poems, short plays, and jokes, small, both in formal and 
number of pages, they were generally bound simply, in boards (a form of cardboard) or merely stitched in 
 Trang 4/5 - Mó đề thi 305 paper wrappers (a sewn antecedent of modern-day paperbacks). Pamphlets and chapbooks did not require 
fine paper or a great deal of type to produce they could thus be printed in large, cost-effective editions and 
sold cheaply. 
 By far, the most appealing publishing investments were to be found in small books that had proven to 
be steady sellers, providing a reasonably reliable source of income for the publisher. They would not, by 
nature, be highly topical or political, as such publications would prove of fleeting interest. Almanacs, 
annual publications that contained information on astronomy and weather patterns arranged according to 
the days, week, and months of a given year, provided the perfect steady seller because their information 
pertained to the locale in which they would be used. 
Question 43: Which aspect of colonial printing does the passage mainly discuss? 
 A. Types of publications produced B. Laws governing the printing industry 
 C. Advances in printing technology D. Competition among printers

 A. Few colonial printers owned printing machinery that was large enough to handle major projects. 
 B. There was inadequate shipping available in the colonies. 
 C. Colonial printers could not sell their work for a competitive price. 
 D. Colonial printers did not have the skills necessary to undertake large publishing projects. 
Question 45: Broadsides could be published with little risk to colonial printers because they 
 A. required a small financial investment and sold quickly 
 B. were in great demand in European markets 
 C. were more popular with colonists than chapbooks and pamphlets 
 D. generally dealt with topics of long-term interest to many colonists 
Question 46: The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to 
 A. chapbooks B. tales C. pages D. jokes 
Question 47: Chapbooks produced in colonial America were characterized by 
 A. a large number of pages B. fine paper
