Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi:
Langston Hughes was one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. He was born in Joplin, Missouri, and moved to Cleveland at the age of fourteen. Several years later he spent one year in Mexico before attending Columbia University in New York. For a few 5 years after that he roamed the world as a seaman, visiting ports around the world and writing some poetry. He returned to the United States and attended Lincoln University, where he won the Witter Bynner Prize for undergraduate poetry. After graduating in 1928, he traveled to Spain and to Russia with the help of a Guggenheim fellowship. 10 His novels include Not Without Laughter (1930) and The Big Sea (1940). He wrote an autobiography in 1956 and also published several collections of poetry. The collections include The Weary Blues (1926), The Dream Keeper (1932), Shakespeare in Harlem (1942), Fields of Wonder (1947), One Way 15 Ticket (1947), and Selected Poems (1959). A man of many talents, Hughes was also a lyricist, librettist, and a journalist. As an older man in the 1960s he spent much of his time collecting poems from Africa and from African-Americans to popularize black writers. Hughes is one of the most accomplished writers in American 20 literary history, and he is seen as one of the artistic leaders of the Harlem Renaissance, the period when a neighborhood that was predominantly black produced a flood of great literature, music, and other art forms depicting daily city life for African-Americans.

Reading-Comprehension-Lesson 04

Đọc hiểu TOEFL - Bài 4

Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi: 
   A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone. In many conditions, such
as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar,
an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good
at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot
5  how fast nearby planes are moving.

The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one
shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps
a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the
10 waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel
at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A
radar set sends out a short burst of radiation waves. Then it receives
the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining
the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained
15 technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other
objects. The word "radar," in fact, gets its name from the term "radio
detection and ranging." "Ranging" is the term for detection of the
distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical
importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control,
20 tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.
1. What is the main topic of this passage?




2. In line 2, the word "dense" could be replaced by




3. According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects?




4. The word "shouts" in line 8 is most similar in meaning to which of the following?




5. Which of the following words best describes the tone of this passage?




6. The phrase "a burst" in line 13 is closest in meaning in which of the following?




7. The word "it" in line 13 refers to which of the following?




8. Which of the following could best replace the word "bounce" in line 13?




9. Which type of waves does radar use?




10. The word "tracking" in line 20 is closest in meaning to which of the following?




11. Which of the following would most likely be the topic of the next paragraph?




12. What might be inferred about radar?

Đọc hiểu TOEFL - Bài 3

Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi: 
   After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity,
business schools in the United States have started to face harder
times. Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a substantial increase
in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen
5  decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people
receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped
about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates
is expected to continue.

10 There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an
MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges
are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on
Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities.
Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating
15 with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well
as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, "Is
an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting
a good job?" The second major factor has been the cutting of American
payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered.
20 Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet
the new demands.

Đọc hiểu - TOEFL - Bài 2

Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi: 
   Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy
diet. They provide the main source of energy for the body, and they
also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range from
simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as amylose and
5  amylopectin. Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates should make
up about one-fourth to one-fifth of a person's diet. This translates
to about 75-100 grams of carbohydrates per day.

A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect
10 on a person's health. When the body lacks a sufficient amount of
carbohydrates it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a
process called gluconeogenesis. This, however, results in a lack
of necessary protein, and further health difficulties may occur.
A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build-up of ketones
15 in the body that causes fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath.
1. What is the main idea of this passage?




2. The word "function" as used in line 3 refers to which of the following?




3. The word "range" as used in line 3 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

6. Which of the following do carbohydrates NOT do?




7. Which of the following words could best replace "deficient" as used in line 9?

Đọc hiểu - TOEFL - Bài 1

Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi: Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil rights
and for his many famous speeches, among them is his moving "I Have A Dream" speech. But fewer people know much about King's childhood. M.L., as he was called, was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, at 5 the home of his maternal grandfather. M.L.'s grandfather, the Reverend
A.D. Williams, purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, twenty years before M.L. was born. The Reverend Williams, an eloquent speaker, played an important role in the community since so many people's lives centered around the church. He allowed his church and his home
10 to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. M.L. grew up in this atmosphere, with his home being used as a community gathering place, and was no doubt influenced by it.

15 M.L.'s childhood was not especially eventful. His father was a minister and his mother was a musician. He was the second of three children, and he attended all- black schools in a black neighborhood. The neighborhood was not poor, however. Auburn Avenue was the main artery through a prosperous neighborhood that had come to symbolize achievement 20 for Atlanta's black people. It was an area of banks, insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers, and other black-owner black-operated businesses and services. Even in the face of Atlanta's segregation, the district thrived. Dr. King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice 25 that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from mingling with whites.
