Read the passage and choose the correct answer
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made
many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of
poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and
plants, including 1300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they’re being destroyed
by massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the
government didn’t have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The
Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it’s the dumping ground for 50% of all
marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago, people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was
limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined be pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce,
and we’re at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now !

(or the best answers) about each passage.
In the United States and Canada, it is very important to look a person directly in the eyes when you are
having a conversation with him or her. If you look down or to the side when the other person is talking, that
person will think that you are not interested in what he or she is saying. This, of course, is not polite. If you
look down or to the side when you are talking, you may appear to be hiding something; that is, it might seem
that you are not honest. However, people who are speaking will sometimes look away for a few seconds when
they are thinking or trying to find the right word. But they always turn immediately back to look the listener
directly in the eyes. These social “rules” are the same for two men, two women, a man and a woman, or an
adult and a child.

ENDANGERED SPECIES
Recent research reveals that the degradation of agricultural soils, forests, woodlands, coastal
fisheries, and wild resources is more and more serious .The majority of the estimated costs of environmental
degradation comes from forests and natural resources are being depleted at an alarming rate. More than 50%
of the original forest has been converted to agricultural land by slash-and-burn. Despite land expansion,
productivity has declined because of soil erosion. Fish, timber, and non-timber forest product stocks are
decreasing. As a result, coastal towns have begun to experience severe water shortages. Hydropower is
dropping. Wildlife populations and biodiversity are in serious decline and many species face extinction. Poor
forest management and soil degradation result in huge economic losses. The degradation of water increase
the costs and reduces the quality of both water and power. The prospects for economic development and
poverty reduction are dependent on natural resources. Natural households rely on natural resources for their
livelihoods, fisheries, and wildlife which provide protein in diets. Urban economic activities depend on reliable
hydroelectric power. However, people do not have much awareness of protecting the environment on which
their life depends.
46. The passage is about...........
A. forests fires B. the degradation of the environment
C. fishery and agriculture D. economic losses
47. Which does not suffer from degradation?
A. industry B. agriculture C. fishery D. forestry
48. It is...................... that makes agricultural productivity decline.
A. land expansion B. slash-and-burn C. soil erosion D. agricultural land
49. Which sentence is NOT true?
A. There are water shortages in coastal towns.
B. Hydropower is declining.
C. Water is not influenced by pollution.
D. We depend on natural resources to solve the problems of poverty.
50. People.........................
A. do not know much of protecting the environment. B. have a great awareness of the environment.
C. are doing a lot of things to prevent pollution. D. can increase economy without natural resources.

Last year I went to Nepal for three months to work in a hospital. I think it's important to see as much of a
country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days’ holiday, so I
decided to go into the jungle and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.
We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning, and left camp with two elephants carrying our
equipment. It was hot but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle
there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the elephants'
backs to get better view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the heat of the
day.
Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept nearer and found a
dead deer, still bleeding. This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very frightened.
We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos plus
and four meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal's throat. It grabbed
Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and
made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible
to sleep!

Read the following passage and then choose the best answer to the questions
Sixty years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was heard of. But when the annual games for the
disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to
change.
Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by
British Government to set up an injury center at Stock Mandeville near London. His ideas about treating
injuries included sport for the disabled.
In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From
those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year.
In 1960 the first Olympics for disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games.
Now every four years the Olympics for disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic
Games, although they are organize separately. In other years Games for the disabled are still held in Stock
Mandeville. In 1984, wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part.
Unfortunately, they were held at Stock Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.

finds its way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the earth as rain. Water is
used and reused over again. It is never used up. Although the world as a whole has plenty of fresh water,

have a serious dry spell and another region may be flooded with too much rain.

Some people have complained about this year's collection, New Writing 3, although I cannot understand
why, surely 500 pages of original writing of this quality, for £6.99, is pretty amazing.
Fiction - both parts of novels and complete short stories - makes up most of the book. There are some
enjoyable pieces by famous writers, such as Candia McWilliam and Rose Tremain. It's a strange fact that the
less well-known people seem to have written mainly about food. Take my advice about Jane Harris's Those
Nails - this piece should definitely not be read just after meals. It contains some very unpleasant scenes which
could turn your stomach!
There is fine work from nineteen poets, including R.S. Thomas and John Burnside. There are pieces from
novels-in-progress by Jim Crace and Jane Rogers. Finally, there is a little non-fiction, which includes a very
funny article by Alan Rusbridger on certain newspapers, and an extraordinary piece about herself from Ursula
Owen. This is an exceptional collection and I for one can't wait to see what next year's choice will include.
41. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A. give her opinions about a new book B. give some information about new writers
C. give some advice to new writers D. give her opinions of newspaper journalists
42. Why would somebody read the text?
A. to find more details about something B. to learn what next year's collection will contain
C. to find out about Alan Rusbridger's new novel D. to decide whether to complain about something
43. What does the writer think of New Writing 3?
A. It's too long. B. It's very amusing. C. It's very good. D. It's too serious.
44. How might you feel after reading Jane Harris's piece?
A. hungry B. excited C. unhappy D. sick
45. Which of the following describes New Writing 3?
A. Great value: two novels, poems and articles only £6.99
B. Great value: the best of new writing for only £6.99
C. Great value: poems by Tremain, Harris and Burnside for only £6.99

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a
language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters,
words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to make use of this form of expression. Many of
these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling,

head indicates a negative reaction.

fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and
instruct people.

In 1960, Laura Ashley, a housewife with young children, began designing and selling clothes. After some
early success, her husband, Bernard, an experienced businessman, joined her and was able to provide
considerable help and advice. The business expanded rapidly. Laura had started working at home, and soon
there were several "Laura Ashley" shops where women could buy pretty, traditional clothes in a country style,
made of natural materials. By the 1980s, the company had developed into a multi-million pound international
organization with branches in places as far apart as London, Brussels, San Francisco and Tokyo.
Laura Ashley was a woman of simple tastes and strong moral beliefs. She was born in Wales and one of
her largest factories producing clothes was situated in the countryside there. Her employees were
encouraged to lead healthy lives, enjoy the fresh air and a good diet. Many of the Ashley family were involved
in the business, but in 1985 it was decided that the public should be given the opportunity to invest money in
the company. Obviously this was a major development and a clear sign of commercial success. But the

Vietnam's education system can be divided into 5 categories: pre-primary, primary, intermediate,
secondary, and higher education.
Public kindergartens usually admit children from the age of 18 months to 5 years. Children at 4 or 5 years
of age are sometimes taught the alphabet and basic math. This level of education is only popular in major
cities.
Children normally start their primary education at the age of six. Education at this level lasts 5 years and it
is compulsory for all children. This compulsory education may be one of the reasons why, despite remaining a
less developed country, the literate proportion of the country's population is very high, over 90% on average.
Middle schools teach students from grade 6 to 9. This educational level is generalized throughout most of
the country - except in very remote provinces, which expect to popularize and standardize middle education
fully within the next few years. Intermediate is a non-compulsory schooling form in Vietnam.
Secondary education, which consists of grades 10, 11 and 12, is standardized in all major urban regions,
but is not in rural provinces. After 3 high school terms, all students must attend a graduation test. This test
often consists of 6 subjects differently selected each year but has to contain the 3 compulsory ones: Foreign
Language (mostly English), Mathematics and Literature. The Vietnamese government intends to merge this
test with the university entrance test in 2009.
Câu 46: What is the first category of Vietnam’s education system?
A. public kindergartens B. secondary C. pre- primary D. grade 6 to 9

or to have a Miss World appearance. Also, genetic engineering will allow us to mix plants and animals.
As computers have advanced, they have helped us remember, calculate, organize, and clarify. So it will
become easier to deal with things, and much quicker. At a point in a future time, some may claim that
computers become about as smart as Newton or Einstein. More advanced computers will be able to be
creative, respond to feelings in a feeling way, develop intuition, recognize patterns, and suggest innovative
alternatives. There is a hope if we choose to take action. We can select Internet information wisely, choose
healthy computer games, limit our exposure to television commercials, and select television programs
carefully. People will be aware of the importance of keeping active, getting outside to do more physical
activities. We will also plan to make a major sacrifice the next time we buy a car, take the bus. Everybody will
be more concerned about making environmentally friendly choices, eating healthy, and helping build a
healthier society by shopping at better stores that sell better food.
Most people will be aware that a happy, loving family is a joy to be part of, and that it is a necessary
foundation for building a strong society. But it is extremely important for our future that we maintain a healthy

28
perspective. We need to value and appreciate the importance of what can be achieved by loving and
committed parents. People need a strong foundation, so it is vital for our society that we encourage parents to

At the age of sixty-five, Laura Ingalls Wilder began writing a series of novels for young people based
on her early experiences on the American frontier. Born in the state of Wisconsin in 1867, she and her family
were rugged pioneers. Seeking better farm land, they went by covered wagon to Missouri in 1869, then on the
Kansas the next year, returning to Wisconsin in 1871, and traveling on to Minnesota and Iowa before setting
permanently in South Dakota in 1879. Because of this constant moving, Wilder’s early education took place

regularly, although she never graduated.At the age of eighteen, she married Almanzo James Wilder. They
bought a small farm in the Ozarks, where they remained for the rest of their lives. Their only daughter, Rose,
who had become a nationally known journalist, encouraged her mother to write. Serving as an agent and
editor, Rose negotiated with Harper’s to publish her mother’s first book, Little House in the Big Woods. Seven
more books followed, each chronicling her early life on the plains. Written from the perspective of a child, they

The status of women in Japan is complex and cannot be characterized in simple terms. Slowly, there

work after getting married and having children. However many companies have separate programs for
women, usually non-career track, and follow practises that would be considered discriminatory in other
societies. For a typical couple, the female spouses still generally expected to do all of the cleaning, cooking
and other chores, whether she is working or not. Single women are said to be enjoying their lives, spending

others. The traditional Japanese value of “good wife, good mother” is changing.

“Women hold up half the sky”. This is an old Chinese saying. However, research shows that perhaps
women do more than the share of “holding up the sky”.
Fifty percent of the world’s population are women, but in nearly two-thirds of all working hours, the
work is done by women. They do most of the domestic work, for example, cooking and washing clothes.
Millions also work outside the home. Women hold forty percent of the world’s jobs. For this work, they earn
only 40 to 60 percent as much as men, and of course they earn nothing for their domestic work.
In developing countries, where three-fourths of the world’s population lives, women produce more
than half of the food. In Africa, 80 percent of all agricultural work is done by women.
In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4.45 am. she gets up, washes, and eats.
It takes her half an hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3.00 pm. She collects firewood until
4.00 pm then comes back home. She spends the next hour and a half preparing food to cook. Then she
collects water for another hour. From 6.30 to 8.30 she cooks. After dinner, she spends an hour washing the
dishes. She goes to bed at 9.30 pm.

Body postures and movements are frequently indicators of self-confidence, energy, fatigue, or status.
Cognitively, gestures operate to clarify, contradict, or replace verbal messages. Gestures also serve an
important function with regard to regulating the flow of conversation. For example, if a student is talking about
something in front of the class, single nods of the head from the teacher will likely cause that student to
continue and perhaps more elaborate. Postures as well as gestures are used to indicate attitudes, status,
affective moods, approval, deception, warmth, arid other variables related to conversation interaction.
The saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" well describes the meaning of facial expressions. Facial
appearance - including wrinkles, muscle tone, skin coloration, and eye color-offers enduring cues that reve1il
information about age, sex, race, ethnic origin, and status.
A less permanent second set of facial cues-including length of hair, hairstyle, cleanliness, and facial hair-
relate to an individual's idea of beauty. A third group of facial markers are momentary expressions that signal
that cause changes in the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, cheeks, nose, lips, and chin, such as raising the
eyebrows, wrinkling the brow, curling the lip.
Some facial expressions are readily visible, while others are fleeting. Both types can positively or
negatively reinforce the spoken words and convey cues concerning emotions and attitudes.

correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.
Plants and animals hold medicinal, agricultural, ecological value. Endangered species must be
protected and saved so that future generations can experience their presence and value.
Plants and animals are responsible for a variety of useful medications. In fact, about forty percent of all
prescriptions written today are composed from the natural compounds of different species. These species not
only save lives, but they contribute to a prospering pharmaceutical industry worth over $40 billion annually.
Unfortunately, only 5% of known plant species have been screened for their medicinal values, although we
continue to lose up to 100 species daily. The Pacific yew, a slow-growing tree found in the ancient forests of
the Pacific Northwest, was historically considered a "trash" tree. However, a substance in its bark was recently
identified as one of the most promising treatments for ovarian and breast cancer. Additionally, more than 3
million American heart disease sufferers would die within 72 hours of a heart attack without digitalis, a drug
derived from the purple foxglove.
There are an estimated 80,000 edible plants in the world. Humans depend upon only 20 species of these
plants, such as wheat and corn, to provide 90% of the world's food. Wild relatives of these common crops
contain essential disease-resistant material. They also provide humans with the means to develop new crops
that can grow in inadequate lands such as in poor soils or drought-stricken areas to help solve the world
hunger problem. In the 1970s, genetic material from a wild corn species in Mexico was used to stop a leaf
fungus that had previously wiped out 15% of the U.S. corn crop.
41. Plants and animals _______.
a. contain medicaments b. will not exist until the future generations can experience their value
c. do some harm to medication d. take no responsibility for medication
42. About…………of prescriptions today are composed from the natural compounds of different species.
a. 5% b. 90% c. 40% d. 15%
43. According to the text, _______.
a. plants and animals don’t contribute to a prospering pharmaceutical industry
b. less than 3 million American heart disease sufferers would die within 72 hours
c. there is no disease-resistant material in edible plants
d. human beings continue to lose up to 100 species every day

Reading, as you know, is a continuous and never ending process. If you do very little reading, or if you
read only material that offers no challenge to your comprehension, your reading will be of very little use. Once

Until the 19th century, the denial of equal rights to women met with only occasional protest and drew little
attention from most people. Because most women lacked the educational and economic resources that would
enable them to challenge the prevailing social order, women generally accepted their inferior status as their
only option. At this time, women shared these disadvantages with the majority of working class men, as many
social, economic, and political rights were restricted to the wealthy elite. In the 19 th century, as governments in
Europe and North America began to draft new laws guaranteeing equality among men, significant numbers of
women – and some men – began to demand that women be accorded equal rights as well.
At the same time, the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America further divided the roles of men and
women. Before the Industrial Revolution most people worked in farming or crafts-making, both of which took
place in or near the home. Men and women usually divided the numerous tasks among themselves and their
children. Industrialization led male workers to seek employment outside of the home in factories and other
large-scale enterprises. The growing split between home and work reinforced the idea that women’s “rightful
place” was in the home, while men belonged in the public world of employment and politics.
Organized efforts by women to achieve greater rights occurred in two major waves. The first wave began
around the mid-19th century, when women in the United States and elsewhere campaigned to gain suffrage –
that is, the right to vote. This wave lasted until the 1920s, when several countries granted women suffrage.
46.Why did the denial of equal rights to women draw little attention from the society until the 19 th century?
A. They could not challenge the prevailing social order B. They did not have any other option.
C. Most women lacked the educational and economic resources. D. All are correct.
47.Until the 19th century, what was the status of the working class men in the society?
A. They had the same rights as women. B. They had no right at all.
C. They did not have much power compared to the wealthy people.
D. They had much power in the society.
48. When did the women’s movement start in Western countries?
A. in the 18th century B. in the late 18th century C. in the 19th century D. in the early 20th century
49. What did the effect of the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America bring about?
A. Male workers tried to seek employment outside of the home.
B. It did not bring the equality to women.
C. Well-educated, upper-class men controlled most positions of employment and power in society.
D. All are correct.
50. What was the aim of the women’s movement in the United States in the 1920s?
A. to gain the right to have much power in the society B. to gain the right to vote
C. to gain the right to go to work in the factory D. to have the complete equality to men

VII. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
A desert is a hostile, potentially deadly environment for unprepared humans. In hot deserts, high
temperatures cause rapid loss of water due to sweating, and the absence of water sources with which to
replenish it can result in dehydration and death within a few days. In addition, unprotected humans are also at
risk from heatstroke.
Humans may also have to adapt to sandstorms in some deserts, not just in their adverse effects on
respiratory systems and eyes, but also in their potentially harmful effects on equipment such as filters, vehicles
and communication equipment. Sandstorms can last for hours, sometimes even days.
Despite this, some cultures have made hot deserts their home for thousands of years, including the
Bedouin, Tuareg tribe, and Pueblo people. Modern technology, including advanced irrigation systems,
desalinization and air conditioning, has made deserts much more hospitable, In the United States and Israel
for example, desert farming has found extensive use.
In cold deserts, hypothermia and frostbite are the chief hazards, as well as dehydration in the absence of
a source of heat to melt ice for drinking. Falling through pack-ice or surface ice layers into freezing water is a
particular danger requiring emergency action to prevent rapid hypothermia. Starvation is also a hazard; in low
temperatures the body requires much more food energy to maintain body heat and to move. As with hot
deserts, some people such as the Inuit have adapted to the harsh conditions of cold deserts.
1. In hot deserts, high temperatures cause rapid loss of water because of________.
a. unprepared humans b. water sources c. sweating d. sandstorms
2. Which is not a problem for an unprepared man in a hot desert?
a. sandstorm b. loss of water c. irrigation d. heatstroke
3. Sandstorms ________.
a. do no harm to machinery b. have effects only on the eyes
c. never lasts more than one hour d. have bad effects on both human beings and machinery
4. Which sentence is true?
a. No one can survive in both hot and cold deserts. b. Modern technology makes deserts more
hospitable.

51
 c. In the United States, all deserts are quite uninhabited. d. There are no deserts in Israel.
5. Which is not a problem in cold deserts?
a. Starvation b. Hypothermia c. Frostbite d. Body heat

correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50
An old proverb says, “You can’t judge a book by its cover”. This means that you can’t tell what people are like
just by looking at them. But most people feel they can learn something from reading someone’s face. If
nothing else, they try to read people’s faces to tell how they are feeling at a given moment.
Consider the smile. It is one of the most easily recognizable human facial expressions. We can see a
smile on someone’s from hundreds of feet away. But, there is a subtle different between a genuine smile and
a false one. For example, when two old friends meet, they smile with their eyes as well as their lips. The
muscles of the face contract and pull the lips up while the muscles around the eyes wrinkle the skin around
the corners of the eyes. On the other hand, when a clerk in the grocery store smiles politely, the lips move but
the smile doesn’t necessarily reach the eyes.
We may be able to read common emotions like joys, sadness and anger from facial expression, but
that’s not all. Research suggests that we also tend to judge characters based on their faces. In her book
“Reading Faces”, Professor Leslie Zebrowitz shows in her research that baby- faced adults (People with big
eyes and round cheeks) make the rest of us feel protective as we do towards children . In one study of cases
in a Boston courtroom, Zebrowitz found that people with “baby faces” were more likely to be successful than
people with more mature- looking faces.
46. Most people feel they can look at faces of other ones ___________
A. to research their feelings C. to recognize their smiles
B. to learn how someone feels D. to judge their character
47. The word “genuine” on line 7 can be closest in meaning with_________
A. honest B. cheat C. artificial D. challenging
48. When a clerk in a grocery store smiles politely, she often smiles ___________
A. with her eyes as well as her lips C. with her lips only
B. with her eyes D. with the muscles around her eyes
49. According to the passage, which of these things is NOT TRUE?
A. A smile is one of the human expressions.
B. A false smile uses muscles near the eyes, but a real one doesn’t.
C. we can see a smile from hundreds of feet.
D. Two friends smile with their eyes as well as their lips.
50. In the study of court cases, people with ……… were more successful.

A zoo in the American State of California has started a worldwide program to protect endangered
animals and their living areas. The San Diego Zoo project is designed to increase public understanding and
support for the needs of wildlife.
Animal expert Joan Embery says an Internet website will give detailed information about endangered
animals and living areas. It will describe what experts are doing to protect the animals and what citizens can
do to help. Many major organizations seeking to protect wildlife are joining the effort.
Ms. Embery says the world is losing as many as three kinds of animals every hour. This means as
many as two-hundred-thousand species of animals disappear from Earth every year. Scientists blame the
increasing human population for the disappearance of many of these animals.
The Koala bear of Australia and the cheetah of Africa are among animals in danger of disappearing.
Koala bears live in forests of eucalyptus trees. The trees also provide food for the bears. Human activities like
farming, developing towns and cutting trees threaten the bears’ survival.
Ms. Embery says scientists are trying to find exactly where the bears live in the forests. They also are
identifying new areas where the bears might find more food. The San Diego Zoo expert says education is also
important to save the cheetah, the world’s fastest four-legged animal.

58
 Ms. Embery says modern technological equipment is helping to save animals. Satellites can show
where the animals live and identify better places for them. Identification devices placed on the animals can
show how and when they move around. Joan Embery says the San Diego Zoo program will help the public
know more about scientific work to save animals in the wild.
46. What is the purpose of the San Diego project?
A. to give information about many kinds of animals.

AMERICAN KIDS’ EDUCATION
Increasing numbers of parents in the US are choosing to teach their kids at home. The US Department of
Education estimated that in 1999, around 850,000 children were being homeschooled. Originally,
homeschooling was used for students who couldn’t attend school because of learning difficulties. Today,
however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their children at home due to
dissatisfaction with the educational system relating to class size or problems inside the classroom, for
example violence.
Advocates of homeschooling believe that children learn better when they are in a secure, loving
environment. They can also pick and choose what and when to study, which enables them to learn at their
own pace. In contrast, critics of homeschooling say that children who are not in classroom miss out on
learning important social skills because they have little interaction with their peers. Moreover, they have raised
concerns about the ability of parents to teach their kids effectively because they are not competent educators
and have no teacher training.
Whatever the arguments for or against it, homeschooling in the USA is growing. There are now
websites, support groups that enable parents to learn more about educating children. Homeschooling today is
an accepted alternative to an educational system that some believe is failing.
Question 46:. What is the topic of the text?
A. Different ideas about homeschooling.
B. A new way to learn in the USA: Homeschooling
C. The advantages of getting education at home.
D. Parents in the USA want to teach teir childrenat home.
Question 47:. One of the reasons why parents DON’T want to send their children to school is that
A. there are too many pupils in a class. B. children learn what they choose.
C. there is violence at home. D. parents want to be good educators.
Question 48:. The word “peers” in 4 of the second passage mostly means.
A. members B. classmates C. groups D. partners
Question 49:. Which of the following answer which parents can learn more to teach their children effectively.
A. the Department of Education B. their social skills.
C. the present educational system D. websites
Question 50:. It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. homeschooling is only for troubled children.
B. few parents take their children out of class in the USA.
C. homeschooling is acceptable in the USA.
D. traditional education is the best in the USA.

Body language. What does it say?
More than half of what we communicate is communicated not through words but through body
language. This includes our postures, facial expressions, and gestures. Because body language is so
important, you will want to know what yours is saying and how to interpret other people’s, too. Here are some
examples of body language and its meaning. (Note: These meanings are for North American. Interpretations
may differ a bit in other cultures.)
A smile is a sign of friendliness and interest. But people sometimes smile just to be polite. To get
another clue from people’s face, notice their eyes. Friendliness and interest are expressed when a person’s
eyes meet yours (especially when you are the one who is talking) and then look away and meet yours again. A
person who doesn’t look away is expressing a challenge. A person who doesn’t look at you is expressing a
lack of interest (or is shy. Hand gestures can mean a person is interested in the conversation. Stay away from
someone who points at you while talking with you: That person might be angry at you or feel superior to you.

Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural areas.
Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man's areas such as

70
business, scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming
power than men. The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success has
become popular in Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and
women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their social careers and obtain success, contributing to
national socio-economic development.
According to Ms, Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender/and Development Research Centre under the University
of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender equity in Vietnam has reached a high
level over the past decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members from the
9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese women in authority to 27.3%,
the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the level of literacy and schooling between men and
women. Women account for about 37% of university and college graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders
and 6.7% of professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete legal
documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on "gender equity"
mark a turning-point in the empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their great importance
in modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women's duties. Many
projects on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by
various mass organizations, state agencies and non-governmental organizations have created favorable
conditions for women to become involved.

Question 46: The text is about ________.

A. the changes in the status of Vietnamese women
B. the Vietnamese women's liberation
C. the Vietnamese sex discrimination
D. the discrimination that Vietnamese women have to face
Question 47: Which adjective is not used to describe Vietnamese women?
A. successful B. creative C. narrow D. dynamic
Question 48: According to the data in the text, ________.
A. Vietnamese women do not take part in authority
B. the level of literacy and schooling between men and women in Vietnam is the same
C. there are more women in authority in Vietnam than those in any other countries in Southeast Asia.
D. there are no female professors in Vietnam
Question 49: Vietnamese women ________.
A. have few opportunities to develop their intellectual ability
B. have only shined brightly in doing housework
C. cannot do any scientific research
D. are ensured their rights with laws, conventions and national action plans
Question 50: Which is not mentioned in the text as a project to create condition for Vietnamese women?
A. Traditional women's duties B. Reproductive health care
C. Children protection D. Family income improvement

Question 31 – 35: Read the following passage and choose the best answer.
In the Spring of 1934, storms swept across the Great Plains, but they were not rainstorms. They were the
result of sun drought and a terrible wind that blew millions of tons of top soil from 300.000 square miles in
Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and New Mexico. This was the dust Bowl. It buried fences, fields and
home. It choked cattle and sickened the people who stayed. Three hundred and fifty thousand settlers fled,
many becoming part of a slow, sad caravan along Route 66 to California.

77
 But wind and drought were not the only factors that combined to create the Dust Bowl. Only fifty years
earlier, a carpet of buffalo grass had covered the Great plains, protecting the soil and retaining the moisture
that had been used as rang land. The increased demand for wheat during World war I encouraged farmers to
plow and plant even wider areas. Forty percent of the land that they plowed up had never been exposed to
rain, wind or sun before. When the drought and wind came, the land had been prepared for disaster.
31. With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?

A. Homesteaders began to settle land B. Ranches began to replaced farms
C. Homesteaders were used for open range D. No homesteaders were left
35. The author mentions all of the following as having contributed to the disaster EXCEPT.

Almost every language in the world has dialects and American English is no exception. At the present
time there is an interesting study which is on American speech habits. This study has shown that different
words are frequently used in different parts of the country to denote the same thing. For example, in the east,
Americans use the word "soda" to denote a soft drink. In some parts of the west, a soft drink is "tonic". Such
differences are usually a source of conversation and sometimes misunderstanding happens.

87
 Speech and life all over the world have often changed. New words are being used when new
discoveries are made and new concepts are formed. Usage determines what is correct and what is incorrect.
Fifty years ago, it was incorrect to say "It's me." But today it is acceptable simply because most Americans say
that instead of "It's I." People change, so language changes. What is wrong today may be right tomorrow.

Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more an more people in the world.
Factories turn out more and more products and nee more and more water. We live in a world of water. But
almost all of it - above 97% - is in the oceans. This water is too salty to be used for drinking, farming, an
manufacturing. Only about 3% of the world's water is fresh. Most of this water is not easily available to man
because it is locked in glaciers and ice caps.
There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be. Most of the water we use finds its
way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the earth as rain. Water is used and
reused over again. It is never used up. Although the world as a whole has plenty of fresh water, some regions
have a water shortage. Rain does not fall evenly over the earth. Some regions are always too dry, and others
too wet. A region that usually gets enough rain may suddenly have a serious dry spell and another region may
be flooded with too much rain.

and go back later. We caught a bus to Regent Street, one of the busiest streets in London. There were a lot of
shops there. The shop windows were full of beautiful goods, so we forgot our thirst. Everyone tried to look for
the things they planned to buy. And nobody thought of the time. When I got out of the souvenir shop, it was

Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history, the sea has served the needs of
man. The sea has provided man with food an convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today,
nearly two thirds of the world's population live within 80 kilometres of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on
land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many man's needs. The list
of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have
been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor are ready to be
mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish
is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of
the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible
use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new
materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe
that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy source
of the sea will be largely solved.

On February 3, 1956, Autherine Lucy became the first African-American student to attend the University of
Alabama, although the dean of women refused to allow Autherine to live in a university dormitory. White
students rioted in protest of her admission, and the federal government had to assume command of the
Alabama National guard in order to protect her. Nevertheless, on her first day in class, Autherine bravely took
a seat in the front row. She remembered being surprised that the professor of the class appeared not to notice
she was even in class. Later, she would appreciate his seeming indifference, as he was one of only few
professors to speak out in favour of her right to attend the university. For protection, Autherine was taken in
and out of classroom buildings by the back door and driven from class to class by an assistant to the
university president. The students continued to riot, and one day, the windshield of the car she was in was
broken. University officials suspended her, saying it was for her own safety. When her attorney issued a
statement in her name protesting her suspension, the university used it as grounds for expelling her for
insubordination. Although she never finished her education at the University of Alabama, Autherine Lucy's

Saving energy means saving money. Home owners and renters know this basic fact, but they often don't
know what kinds of adjustments they can make in their homes and apartments that will result in savings.
For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy audit is the
way to go. An energy auditor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The auditor will

109
pinpoint areas of your home that use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs.
Trained energy auditors know what to look for and can locate a variety of flaws that may be resulting in energy
inefficiency, including inadequate insulation, construction flaws, and uneven heat distribution.
There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace
incandescent lights with fluorescents. This can result in a savings of more than 50% on your monthly lighting
costs.
When it's time to replace old appliances, it's wise to spend a bit more for an energy-efficient model, and be
sure that you are taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher,
washing machine, or dryer.
Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs. Caulk old Windows that might be leaky to
prevent drafts, and choose double-paned windows if you're building an addition or replacing old windows.
Most areas of your home or apartment offer opportunities to save energy and noney. The results are
significant and are well worth the effort.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer:

W e know that every year less than 100 people are attacked by sharks and about 5 to 10 of these people
die. But, let’s look at the other side of the story - How many sharks do people kill ? Well I think you
already know this : People kill many more sharks. Every year, people hunt and kill thousands of sharks. One
reason people kill sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun. Some people started to have contests to see
who kill the most sharks or the biggest sharks. Another reason that people kill sharks is for food. In some
countries, such as the United States and Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food. In other countries, such
as China, people use shark fins to make soup. Because so many people like to eat shark, fishing boats catch
a lot of sharks to sell for food.

S o, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some biologists are getting worried that the
number of sharks is getting too small. That’s why many biologists think we should stop killing so many
sharks, and instead try to protect them - or else some day they may all be gone. Some countries have already
passed some laws to help protect sharks. The United States, for example, has passed laws that limit the
number of sharks that people can kill for food or for sport. So even though some people like to hunt sharks, we
do need to protect them.
41. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year ?
a. one hundred b. many c. five to ten d. thousands
42. People want to kill sharks because _____.
a. they are afraid of sharks. b. shark meat is a popular food.
c. they get their enjoyment from killing sharks d. b and c are correct.
43. The number of sharks in the world is _____.
a. getting worried by some biologists b. being killed.
c. getting bigger. d. betting smaller.
44. Why do biologists want to protect sharks ?
a. Because they want to learn more about sharks.
b. Because they are afraid some day sharks may no longer exist.
c. Because of the number of sharks that were killed.
d. Because shark fins can be used in medicine.
45. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage ?
a. People like to hunt sharks.

c. The governments prohibited people from killing sharks.
d. People are killing many sharks for some reasons.

How can scientists predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere but happen in certain
areas. They happen in places where pieces of the earth’s surface meet. This pattern causes them to shake
the same places many times. Foe example, earthquakes often occur on the west-coast of North and South
America, around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia.
Another way tp predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth’s surface, like a sudden drop of
water level in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before earthquakes people
have been chickens sitting in the trees, fish jumping out of the water, snakes leaving their holes and other
animals acting strangely.
After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food , water, and medical supplies. The
amount of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on where it happens, what time it happens, and how
strong it is. It also depends on types of building, soil conditions and population. Of the 6000 earthquakes in the
earth each year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths.
Câu 46: The passage mainly discusses .........................
A. strange animal behaviors B. how to predict earthquakes
C. the damage caused by earthquakes D. hoe strong earthquakes are
Câu 47: Earthquakes happen in certain areas where....................
A. many buildings are built B. the soil conditions are stable
C. pieces of the earth’s surface meet. D. the population is large
Câu 48: Earthquakes often happen along..............................
A. the east-coast of South America B. the Pacific coast of Asia
C. the coast of Australia D. the east-coast of North America.
Câu 49: After an earthquake, as a result of ......................... people can die.
A. lack of food B. lack of information C. lack of knowledge D. lack of friendship
Câu 50: Looking for .......................... can help predict earthquakes.

By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably increase their
children's language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big
difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what
the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase.
A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children participants
were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the
parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather
than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggy doing?" rather than, "Is the
doggy running away?" Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their children's answer,
how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.
At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the end of
one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of
verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an
advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.

study?
A. The number of participants. B. The books that were read.
C. The age of the children. D. The training that parents received.
Question 40: What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?
