PART C. READING
I. 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.
With rise of the great petropolis in the industrial era, city planning in the United States passed out of the hands of the architect and into the hands of the technical expert.
Unlike the architect, who thought of the city as a work of art to be built up with an eye towards beauty, the modern technocrat has always taken a purely functional approach to city planning: the city exists for the sole purpose of serving the needs of its inhabitants. Its outward appearance has no important value.
Over the span of a few centuries, this new breed of urban planner has succeeded in forever changing the face of American cities. A visit to any large city confirms this grim fact. Even a casual observer could not fail to notice that the typical urban landscape is arranged along the lines of a tedious chessboard pattern with its four-cornered intersections and long, straight, and dull streets
Strict building codes have resulted in an overabundance of unsightly neighbourhoods in which there is only slight variation among structures. Rows of squat concrete apartment houses and files of gigantic steel and glass skyscrapers have almost completely replaced older, more personal buildings. Moreover, the lovely natural surroundings of many cities are no longer a part of the urban landscape. For the most part, the hills and rivers that were once so much a part of so many metropolitan settings have been blotted out by thoughtless construction. The lone bright spot in this otherwise bleak picture is that currently there is a rebirth of interest in architecture. Enrollments in graduate architectural programs are the highest they have been in years. Hopefully, this trend will continue and help pave the wave for a more beautiful America of future.
61. The primary purpose of this passage is to ______.
A. show the accomplishments of the modern technical expert
B. communicate the author’s preference for architects over technocrats

Đoạn 2: Sự khác biệt trong cách tiếp cận của chuyên gia kĩ thuật vs kiến trúc sư

D. stress the difference between architects and technocrats

A. valuable
B. necessary
C. lovely
D. impersonal
Điểm dễ nhầm lẫn: câu hỏi hỏi về modern architect -> kiến trúc hiện tại (tức kiến trúc được xây dựng bởi technocrat), chứ không hỏi về architect -> kiến trúc sư
=> The lone bright spot in this otherwise bleak picture is that currently there is a rebirth of interest in architecture. -> bleak picture: bức tranh ảm đạm
67. The expression “blotted out” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. made useless
B. taken away
C. omitted
D. blocked out
=> For the most part, the hills and rivers that were once so much a part of so many metropolitan settings have been blotted out by thoughtless construction
