Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question In today’s culture, tattoos are very popular as a form of body decoration. As seen in their  prevalence among rebellious teenagers, social outsiders, dangerous outlaws, and many other  people, tattoos are viewed as luxurious fashion statements that possess a forbidden attraction - mainly as long as they remain unseen. However, some people get tattoos in order to identify  themselves with certain groups, such as military units, fraternities, or even criminal organizations,  like the Japanese yakuza. Tattoos have been used in this manner throughout history by many  different cultures in the world. In fact, they have always been an important functional and  symbolic feature in most tribal and ancient cultures, whether they were used for identification,  worship, therapy, decoration, or in other rituals.

The earliest written records describing tattoo usage date back to Ancient Egypt, from  where the practice spread to Crete, Greece, Persia, and Arabia. However, tribal cultures  throughout northern Europe, the western hemisphere, and east Asia had been applying tattoos for  several thousands of years before this, with people in Japan reportedly creating tattoos ten  thousand years ago. One of the best pieces of evidence of this usage came from the excavation of  Otzi the Ice Man, the Oldest naturally preserved body discovered in Europe. Dating back to  3300BC, this mummy had fifty-seven tattoos on its body, mostly located on the inside of the left  knee, ankle, and legs. In China and Russia, naturally mummified bodies that are just as old have  been found to bear tattoos in similar sports. Based on the location of these tattoos, some  researchers speculate that they were part of a therapeutic treatment for bones.

Ancient and tribal cultures used tattoos primarily for identification, though. A person’s tattoo  would indicate their tribe, family, or social status. For instance, the Norse, the Danes, the Saxons,  and other Germanic peoples used tattoos to identify their particular clans. The Maori in New  Zealand used tattoos to indicate their social ranking. In many southeast Asian tribes, as well as in  American tribes like the Inuit, women used tattoos to indicate that they were eligible for marriage  or already married. Tattoos were also very common among warriors who displayed bravery or  ferocity in combat. Chickasaw warriors distinguished themselves with tattoos, and the Dayak  tribes used them to boast of the people they killed in battle. In later military usage, ancient Greek  spies had tattoos that related their military ranks to each other. Originally, Roman soldiers did not

 Trang 3/8 - Mã đề thi 132 - https://thi247.com/

have tattoos. However, after witnessing the fierceness of British tribes they fought, Roman  soldiers began to get tattoos in order to emulate their enemy’s ferocity.

A. assist them in worship B. mark them as slaves

C. begin their adulthood D. treat bone ailments

Question 24: Based on the information in paragraph 2, what can be inferred about the origins of  tattoos?

A. Tattoos developed independently in different cultures.

B. It took thousands of years for tattoos to be used globally.

C. Otzi the Ice Man is the first to have ancient tattoos.

 Paul Bunyan is perhaps America’s best-known folk hero. A fictional logger  of incredible strength, he was most likely based on an actual nineteenth-century logger  from the northern United States or Canada. As a folk hero, he struck a chord with 

Line

Americans on some level, perhaps because he was incredibly strong but also because  (5)

he was hard-working and capable, ingenious in solving problems, and fun-loving. Though there is evidence that Paul Bunyan tales were part of oral tradition in  the nineteen century, Paul Bunyan stories did not appear in written form until the early  twentieth century. Journalist James McGillivray included descriptions of Bunyan in a  series of essay entitled “The Round River Drive” which appeared in a number of  (10)

Midwestern newspapers between 1906 and 1910. However, it was through an extensive  advertising campaign that Paul Bunyan moved solidly into print.

Recognizing the appeal of Paul Bunyan as a figure for his company’s  advertising, William Laughead, an advertising executive for the Red River Lumber  Company, initiated a campaign that consisted of a series of publications featuring Paul  (15)

Bunyan. For several decades, the company distributed these publications free of charge  and made no attempt to obtain a copyright on them. In fact, the company vigorously  encouraged other writers to make use of Paul Bunyan because it felt that the use of this  character enhanced the name recognition of the Red River Lumber Company inasmuch  as the name of the folk hero and the name of the company had become interwoven. 

(20)

The Bunyan stories published by Red River and further circulated by others  were tall tales of gigantic proportions. In these tales, Banyan is depicted as a man of  superhuman proportions, who is strong, hard-working, entrepreneurial, and innovative.  In one story, for example, Paul is credited with digging the Great Lakes in order to  create a watering hole for his giant ox, Babe. In another of these tales, Paul caused an  (25)

entire winter of blue snow to fall by swearing a blue streak after he injured himself by  smashing his thumb with a large hammer. A third story in the series describes Paul’s  role in establishing the Mississippi River.

Fascination with Paul Bunyan has continued to grow, and today he is a standard  of American folklores. The prevalence of Bunyan as a figure of folklore today is  evidenced by references to him in countless stories, cartoons, poems, and songs as well  as the numerous community festivals and logging competitions featuring Paul Bunyan  that can be found throughout the sections of the country where logging has strong  tradition.

Question 53: The purpose of this passage is to ______.

A. present the actual feats of a real-life logger B. provide an overview of American folktales C. describe logging in North America D. discuss a “larger than life” folk hero Question 54: It is NOT stated in the passage that Paul Bunyan is known for his ______.

B. The company did not protect its ownership of the stories.

C. The campaign did little to enhance the company’s profitability.

D. The company wanted the name Paul Bunyan to be known as widely as possible. Question 56: The pronoun “them” in line 14 refers to ______.

A. publications B. series C. decades D. writers Question 57: The word “interwoven” in line 17 could be best replaced by ______. A. not compatible B. mixed together C. unfashionable D. too separate Question 58: Where in the passage does the author discuss a weather phenomenon that Paul  Bunyan supposedly caused?

A. Lines 3-5 B. Lines 14-17 C. lines 20-23 D. Lines 25-29 Question 59: The author’s tone in this passage is ______.
