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 
 Diffusion, the process of introducing cultural elements from one society into another, occurs in three basic
patterns: direct contact, intermediate contact, and stimulus diffusion. 
 In direct contact, elements of a society’s culture may be adopted first by neighboring societies and then gradually
spread farther afield. The spread of the manufacture of paper is an example of extensive diffusion by direct contact. The
invention of paper is attributed to the Chinese Ts’ai Lun in A.D. 105. Within fifty years, paper was being made in many
places in central China. By 264 it was found in Chinese Turkmenistan, and from then on the successive places of
manufacture were Samarkand (751), Baghdad (793), Egypt (about 900), Morocco (about 1100), and France (1189). In
general, the pattern of accepting the borrowed invention was the same everywhere. Paper was first imported into each
area as a luxury, then in ever-expanding quantities as a staple product. Finally, usually within one to three centuries, local
manufacture started. 
 Diffusion by intermediate contact occurs through the agency of third parties. Frequently, traders carry a cultural
trait from the society that originated it to another group. As an example of diffusion through intermediaries, Phoenician
traders spread the alphabet, which may have been invented by another Semitic group, to Greece. At times, soldiers serve
as intermediaries in spreading a culture trait. During the Middle Ages, European soldiers acted as intermediaries in two
ways: they carried European culture to Arab societies of North Africa and brought Arab culture back to Europe. In the
nineteenth century Western missionaries brought Western-style clothing to such places as Africa and the Pacific islands. 
 In stimulus diffusion, knowledge of a trait belonging to another culture stimulates the invention or development
of a local equivalent. A classic example of stimulus diffusion is the creation of the Cherokee syllabic writing system by a
Native American named Sequoya. Sequoya got the idea from his contact with the English; yet he did not adopt the
writing system nor did he even learn to write English. He utilized some English alphabetic symbols, altered others, and
invented new ones.

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 
When drawing human figures, children often make the head too large for the rest of the body. A recent study offers some
insights into this common disproportion in children’s illustrations. As part of the study, researchers asked children
between 4 and 7 years old to make several drawings of men. When they drew front views of male figures, the size of the
heads was markedly enlarged. However, when the children drew rear views of men, the size of the heads was not so
exaggerated. The researchers suggested that children draw bigger heads when they know they must leave room for facial
details. Therefore, the odd head size in children’s illustrations is a form of planning ahead and not an indication of a poor
sense of scale. 
 Câu 46: The main subject of the passage is_____________. 
 A. what the results of an experiment revealed B. What can be done to correct a poor sense of scale

 Câu 50: The passage provides information to support which of the following conclusions? 
 A. Children enlarge the size of the head because they think that it is the most important part of the body. 
 B. Children plan ahead when they are drawing pictures. 
 C. Children under the age of 7 do not generally have a good sense of scale. 
 D. With training, young children can be taught to avoid disproportion in their art.
