II. Read the passage and choose the best option for each question or statement. (1.0 pt)

The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, living together in a single house or other dwellings; whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures like in historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, the latter is typically the most common basic form of social organization.

Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in nuclear families. This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often lived together for economic reasons.

During the 20th century, average income rose high enough that living apart as nuclear families became a possible option for the vast majority of the American population. In contrast, many indigenous societies and residents of developing countries continue to have multiple generations living in the same household. The rise of the nuclear family in the modern West does not necessarily mean that family arrangements have stabilized, either. The rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents a substantial change in the traditional nuclear family. More couples are also choosing not to have children at all.

Câu 26:  What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A.   The dominance of nuclear families over extended ones

B.   The dominance of extended families over nuclear ones

C.   The distinction between nuclear families and extended ones

D.   The changes of family types over times

Câu 27:  The word “the latter” in paragraph 1 refers to           .

A. family unit                                           B. relatives              

C. the nuclear family                                                                 D. the extended family

Câu 28: Historically, extended families were the most basic unit of social organization in all of the following places EXCEPT .

A. The Middle East        B. Asia       C. North America D. Europe

Câu 29: According to the passage, single-parent households    .

A.   are the existing trend of family arrangement

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 from 36 to 43.

The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and particularly indigenous societies, the latter is the most common basic form of social organization.

A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family.

The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered by the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization, The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage.

Anthropologically, the term "extended family" refers to such a group living together in a household, often with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term "extended family" is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a single group.

Question 36: What is the passage mainly about?

A. The dominance of nuclear families over extended ones

B. The dominance of extended families over nuclear ones

C. A distinction between nuclear families and extended ones

D. The changes of family types over times

Dịch bài

Sự khác biệt giữa gia đình hạt nhân và gia đình mở rộng là gia đình hạt nhân chỉ một đơn vị gia đình cơ bản gồm cha mẹ và con cái của họ, trong khi gia đình mở rộng bao gồm cả nguwoif thân của họ như ông bà, bố mẹ, cô dì chú bác…Trong nhiều nền văn hóa, và đặc biệt là các xã hội bản địa, loại hình thứ hai là hình thức phổ biến nhất của tổ chức xã hội.

Theo Kristy Jackson thuộc Đại học Bang Colorado, gia đình hạt nhân có giới hạn, cho một hoặc cả hai cha mẹ (ví dụ như cha và mẹ) và một đứa con của họ, hoặc nhiều đứa, sống chung trong một ngôi nhà hoặc nhiều ngôi nhà khác. Trong nhân chủng học, họ chỉ có liên quan theo cách này; không có giới hạn trên hoặc dưới đối với số con trong một gia đình hạt nhân.

Gia đình mở rộng là một thuật ngữ mơ hồ hơn nhiều, nhưng về bản chất đề cập đến thân nhân hoặc quan hệ không được định nghĩa ở trên. Trong lịch sử châu Âu và châu Á cũng như ở các nền văn minh thổ dân ở Trung Đông, châu Phi và Nam Mỹ, các nhóm gia đình mở rộng thường là đơn vị cơ bản nhất của tổ chức xã hội. Thuật ngữ có thể khác nhau trong các bối cảnh văn hóa cụ thể, nhưng nói chung bao gồm những người liên quan đến tuổi tác hoặc huyết thống.

Về mặt nhân chủng học, thuật ngữ “gia đình mở rộng” dùng để chỉ một nhóm người sống chung trong một hộ gia đình, thường có ba thế hệ cùng sống chung với nhau (ông bà, cha mẹ và con cái) và đứng đầu trong các xã hội gia trưởng bởi người đàn ông nhiều tuổi nhất hoặc bởi người lãnh đạo được lựa chọn. Tuy nhiên, theo cách hiểu chung, thuật ngữ “gia đình mở rộng” thường được mọi người sử dụng để chỉ họ hàng, cô dì, chú bác,…mặc dù họ không sống cùng nhau trong một nhóm.

The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and particularly indigenous societies, the latter is the most common basic form of social organization.

 A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family.

In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization.

Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in nuclear families. This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often lived together for economic reasons. During the 20th century, average income rose high enough that living apart as nuclear families became a viable option for the vast majority of the American population. In contrast, many indigenous societies and residents of developing countries continue to have multiple generations living in the same household. The rise of the nuclear family in the modern West does not necessarily mean that family arrangements have stabilized, either. The rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents a substantial change in the traditional nuclear family. More couples are also choosing not to have children at all.

A. impossible
