It is said that George Washington was one of the first to realize how important the building of canals would be to the nation’s development. In fact, before he became president, he headed the first company in the United States to build a canal that was to connect the Ohio and Potomac Rivers. It was never completed, but it showed the nation the feasibility of canals. As the country expanded westward, settlers in western New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio needed a means to ship goods. Canals linking natural waterways seemed to offer an effective solution In 1791, engineers commissioned by the state of New York investigated the possibility of a canal between Albany on the Hudson River and Buffalo on Lake Erie, which would link the Great Lakes area with the Atlantic seacoast. It would avoid the mountains that served as a barrier to canals form the Delaware and Potomac rivers. Trang 3/6 Mã đề thi 357
4. The first attempt to dig the canal, to be called the Erie Canal, was made by private companies but only a comparatively small portion was built before the project was halted for lack of funds. The cost of the project was an estimated five million dollars, an enormous amount for those days. That was some on-again-off-again federal funding, but the War of 1812 put an end to this. In 1817, DeWitt Clinton was elected governor of New York and persuaded the state to finance and build the Canal. It was completed in 1825, costing two million dollars more than expected. The canal rapidly lived up to its sponsor’s faith, quickly paying for itself through tolls. It was fat more economical than any other form of transportation at the time. It permitted trade between the Great Lake region and East Coast, robbing the Mississippi River of much of its traffic. It allowed New York to supplant Boston, Philadelphia, and other eastern cities as the chief center of both domestic and foreign commerce. Cities sprang up along the Canal. It also contributed in a number of ways to the North’s victory over the South in the Civil War. An expansion of the canal was planned in 1849. Increased traffic would undoubtedly have warranted its construction had it not been for the development of the railroads. Question 53: The completion of the Erie Canal was financed by ___. A. New YorkB. private companies C. the federal governmentD. DeWitt Clinton Question 54: According to the passage, the Erie Canal connected the ___. A. Potomac and Ohio RiversB.

A. It allowed the East Coast to trade with the Great Lakes area. B. It took water traffic away from the Mississippi River. C. It helped determine the outcome of the Civil War. D.

He was president at the time the Erie Canal was built. B. He was involved in pioneering efforts to build canals. C. He successfully opened the first canal in the United States. D.

Henry is the undisputed star of Dronfield School near Sheffield. Whatever the achievements of other members of the comprehensive school, it is Henry, with his soulful eyes and glossy hair, who has hogged the limelight, appearing on television in Britain and abroad. Yet despite all the public adulation, Henry stirs up no envy or resentment among the 2000 students – in fact, they all adore him. The dog, who first arrived six months ago, is a super dog, who has improved students’ behaviour and encouraged more students to focus on their academic achievement. Andrew Wainwright, a student at Dronfield School, says there is something magical and calming about being able to interact with Henry during his time at the school’s catch-up classes, and that if he falls behind, that opportunity will be denied. Even doubting staff have finally been won round. Perhaps Trang 4/6 Mã đề thi 357
5. that is because Henry, who lies on the floor during staff meetings, has also had a calming effect on them. It was Andrew’s teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposed buying a school dog. “Julie and I were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively affect children’s conduct,” says Brown. “We did some research and discovered that the presence of pets has been shown to be therapeutic. A number of studies have shown that animals improve recovery after surgery or illness and have a calming influence on people in a lot of settings. Some of my kids can be a handful and some of the children Julie counsels have terrible problems.” Could the school dog become a craze? Other schools such as the Mulberry Bush, a primary school for children with behavioural problems, have stepped forward to point out they already have one. Rosie Johnston, a Mulberry staff member has been bringing her golden retriever, Muskoka, into school for three years. Apart from being a calming influence, Muskoka even plays his part in literacy lessons. Children at the school can be too shy to read to adults so they read to Muskoka. “Their anxiety about mispronouncing something or getting the words in the wrong order is reduced when they read to him,” says Johnston. Psychologist Dr Deborah Wells from Queen’s University Belfast specialises in animal-human interaction. She believes that the underlying key to the Henry effect is that dogs offer unconditional love and that cheers up adults and children and helps with self-esteem. But traditionalist Chris Woodhead, the former chief inspector of schools says, “I don’t see why a teacher cannot create a positive learning environment through the subject they teach and their personality. Dogs strike me as a bit of a publicity stunt. It’s the kind of sentimental story journalists love.” Despite this sentiment, Henry remains as popular as ever. Question 61: According to paragraph 4, which of the following is one of the roles played by Muskoka at the Mulberry Bush? A. Encouraging a more proactive approach to teaching literacy B. Helping its students to reduce their fear of making mistakes C. Minimising the number of words mispronounced by its students D. Relieving its teaching staff of unnecessary workload Question 62: Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage? A. Having School Dogs: Pros and Cons. B. School Dogs: Useful Classroom Assistants. C. Keeping School Dogs – a Prevalent Trend. D. Henry – a Super Dog in Dronfield School. Question 63: The phrase “a handful” in paragraph 3 is probably descriptive of a child who is ___. A. difficult to control B. inclined to disagree C. reluctant to explore. D. impossible to understand. Question 64: Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 3 as a potential impact of keeping a pet? A. Long-term chances in conduct. B. Better recovery from illness. C. A greater desire to influence others. D. A stronger tendency to misbehave. Question 65: Which of the following best summarises Chris Woodhead’s viewpoint in paragraph 5? A. Students and dogs are inseparable companions in the classroom setting. B. Schools have dogs just to attract media attention. C. Dogs are capable of enlivening classroom atmosphere. D. Teachers underestimate the role of dogs in literacy lessons. Question 66: It can be inferred from the passage that ___. A. Wendy Brown and Julie Smart are dedicated animal rights activists who wish to get their message across to young people. B. Rosie Johnston is more experienced than Wendy Brown in working with animals. C. Administrators at Dronfield School are skeptical as to whether Henry’s companion will benefit their students. D. Interaction with Henry is used to boost students’ learning motivation at Dronfield School. Question 67: The word “adulation” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ___. A. considerable controversy B. deserved attention C. excessive admiration D. unrealistic expectation Trang 5/6 Mã đề thi 357
