Câu 36:
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Although management principles have been implemented since ancient times, most management scholars trace the beginning of modern management thought back to the early 19005, beginning with the pioneering work of Frederick Taylor (1856-1915) Taylor was the first person to study work scientifically. He is most famous for introducing techniques of time and motion study, differential piece rate systems, and for systemtically specializing the work of operating employees and managers. Along with other pioneers such as Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, Taylor set the stage, labeling his philosophy and methods “scientific management’. At that time, his philosophy, which was concerned with productivity, but which was often misinterpreted as promoting worker interests at the expense of management, was in marked contrast to the prevailing industrial norms of worker exploitation.
The time and motion study concepts were popularized by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. The Gilbreths had 12 children. By analyzing his children’s dishwashing and bed making chores, this pioneer efficiency expert, Frank Gilbreth, hit on principles whereby workers could eliminate waste motion. He was memorialized by two of his children in their 1949 book called “Cheaper by the Dozen”.
The Gilbreth methods included using stop watches to time worker movements and special
tools (cameras and special clocks) to monitor and study worker performance, and also involved identification of “therbligs” (Gilbreth spelled backwards) - basic motions used in production jobs. Many of these motions and accompanying times have been used to determine how long it should take a skilled worker to perform a given job. In this way an industrial engineer can get a handle on the approximate time it should take to produce a product or provide a service. However, use of work analysis in this way is unlikely to lead to useful results unless all five work dimensions are considered. physical, psychological, social, cultural, and power.
Question 36: What is the passage primarily about?
Đáp án D
Dịch nghĩa. Bài viết chủ yếu nói về vấn đề gì?
A. Những hạn chế của nghiên cứu tiên phong trong việc hiểu hành vi con con người
B. Nghiên cứu thời gian và chuyển động được lần đầu phát triển như thế nào
C. Ứng dụng phương pháp khoa học đầu tiên để hiểu hành vi con người
D. Sự bắt đầu của học thuyết quản lí hiện đại
Giải thích: Ngay trong câu đầu, tác giả đã giới thiệu về chủ để bài viết “mặc dù quy tắc quản lý đã có từ thời cổ đại nhưng những nhà học giả theo đuổi quản lí đương đại đều luôn nghĩ về thời 1900 với sự bắt đầu của các nhà tiên phong”. Trong đó, thời 1900 với sự bắt đầu của các nhà tiên phong” chính là thời kì đầu của nghiên cứu đương đại. Ở các đoạn sau, tác giả trình bày những nghiên cứu của nhiều nhà khoa học khác nhau để làm rõ hơn về vấn đề.
Không chọn A vì bài viết không nói gì về những mặt hạn chế, tiêu cực cả. Nếu chọn B thì bài viết phải nói về việc nghiên cứu này được phát triển ở đâu, bao giờ, do ai, các bước phát triển như thế nào qua thời gian, mà những thông tin này hoàn toàn không có trong bài. Cũng không nói gì về việc ứng dụng các nghiên cứu này ra sao trong thực tế công việc nên không chọn C được.

Câu 38:
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Although management principles have been implemented since ancient times, most management scholars trace the beginning of modern management thought back to the early 19005, beginning with the pioneering work of Frederick Taylor (1856-1915) Taylor was the first person to study work scientifically. He is most famous for introducing techniques of time and motion study, differential piece rate systems, and for systemtically specializing the work of operating employees and managers. Along with other pioneers such as Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, Taylor set the stage, labeling his philosophy and methods “scientific management’. At that time, his philosophy, which was concerned with productivity, but which was often misinterpreted as promoting worker interests at the expense of management, was in marked contrast to the prevailing industrial norms of worker exploitation.
The time and motion study concepts were popularized by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. The Gilbreths had 12 children. By analyzing his children’s dishwashing and bed making chores, this pioneer efficiency expert, Frank Gilbreth, hit on principles whereby workers could eliminate waste motion. He was memorialized by two of his children in their 1949 book called “Cheaper by the Dozen”.
The Gilbreth methods included using stop watches to time worker movements and special
tools (cameras and special clocks) to monitor and study worker performance, and also involved identification of “therbligs” (Gilbreth spelled backwards) - basic motions used in production jobs. Many of these motions and accompanying times have been used to determine how long it should take a skilled worker to perform a given job. In this way an industrial engineer can get a handle on the approximate time it should take to produce a product or provide a service. However, use of work analysis in this way is unlikely to lead to useful results unless all five work dimensions are considered. physical, psychological, social, cultural, and power.

Dịch nghĩa. Từ “prevailing”- đang thịnh hành ở một thời điểm- gần nghĩa nhất với

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides
information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States.
North Americans are familiar with the many “person on the street” interviews on local television
news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the new people select. Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject’s underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent.
Question 43: According to the passage, the main disadvantage of person-on-the-street interviews is that they ______.
Đáp án A
