Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions:
Fiction is the writing of a story or text that is not true. It can be written in the form of either poetry or prose. Poetry is a style of writing in
which short lines form verses. Often, words at the end of these lines rhyme, like "bed" and "red". Wecall a group of verses about one
subject a 'poem". Prose writing does not have verses, nor does it rhyme. It uses sentences and paragraphs. Prose is used in magazine
articles, newspaper stories, short stories, and books.
Prose fiction has existed since ancient times, but most early fiction was actually written as poetry. Scholars disagree about the date of the
first prose fiction book, or novel. Some scholars classify fictional stories from ancient Greece and Rome as the early novels. Others claim
there were novels in Asia as early as the 6th century. These early novels were mostly short adventure stories about fictional characters.
In Europe, prose fiction began to seriously challenge poetry in the 16th century. A Spanish author, Cervantes, wrote Europe's first prose
novel in the early 1600s. However, longer novels, like Cervantes's Don Quixote, did not become very popular until the 1700s. By that
time, there were more printing presses and more people knew how to read. In addition, more people had money to buy these books. Today,
the vast majority of fiction is written in prose rather than in poetry.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The population of the world has increased more in modern times than in all other ages of history combined. World population totaled
about 500 million in 1650. It doubled in the period from 1650 to 1850. Today the population is more than six billion. Estimate based on
research by the United Nations indicated that it will increase more rapidly ỉn the twenty-five years between 2010 and 2045, reaching 7.5
billion by 2050.
No one knows the limits of population that the earth can support. Thomas Malthus, an English economist, developed a theory that became
widely accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested that because world population tended to increase more rapidly than the food
supply, a continual strain was extended upon available resources. Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics, and other disasters as the usual
limitations of population growth. With recent advances in science and technology, including improved agricultural methods and great stride
in medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened, with obvious results. International organizations have
recommended programmes to encourage general economic development in target areas along with a decrease in birth rates to effect a
lasting solution.

The thing I liked most when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter - I could see them all come
and go and each one was completely different. Now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables
all the year round! Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times of the year - for example strawberries in June and
turnips in winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons.
Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh- so It must be better than the type
of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the country miss a lot of things about modern life, but in my
opinion they miss more than them - they miss real life.

Read the passage and choose the best answer:
Sharks have gained an unfair reputation for being fierce predatorsof large sea animals. Humanity's unfounded fear and hatred of these
ancient creatures is leading to a worldwide slaughter that may result in the extinction of many coastal shark species. The shark is the victim
of a warped attitude of wildlife protection; we strive only to protect the beautiful, non-threatening parts of our environment. And, in our
efforts to restore only non-threatening parts of our earth, we ignore other important parts.
A perfect illustration of this attitude is the contrasting attitude toward another large sea animal, the dolphin. During the 1980s,
environmentalists in the United States protested the use of driftnets for tuna fishing in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also caught
dolphins. The environmentalists generated enough political and economic pressure to prevent tuna companies from buying tuna that had
been caught in driftnets. In contrast to this effort on behalf of the dolphins, these same environmentalists have done very little to help save
the Pacific Ocean sharks whose population has decreased nearly to the point of extinction. Sharks are among the oldest creatures on e arth,
having survived in the seas for more than 350 mi lli on years. They are extremely efficient animals, feeding on wounded or dying animals,
thus performing an important role in nature of weeding out the weaker animals in a species: Just the fact that species such as the Great
White Shark have managed to live in the oceans for so many millions of years is enough proof of their efficiency and adaptability to
changing environments.
It is time for us humans, who may not survive another 1,000 years at the rate we are damaging the planet, to cast away our fears and begin
considering the protection of sharks as an important part of a program for protection of all our natural environment.
41. With which of the following topics is this passage primarily concerned?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Globalization can be seen as increased economic, cultural and technological exchange between countries. Examples might be McDonald's in Calcutta and
Japanese motor technology in Britain. Many international organizations are pro-globalization(ủng hộ…), while many others are anti-(phản đối).
The main organizations against globalization are the environmental organizations, such as Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace, who put forward (cho
rằng/đưa ra, nêu ra) the belief that globalization harms the environment. In general, these organizations blame global corporations for global warming and the
depletion (sự cạn kiệt) of natural resources. The most obvious is oil and gas, but there are others such as tropical rainforests, which are cut down for timber,
and the resources of the sea, which may be affected by pollution.
Organizations which represent developing countries, including international aid agencies such as Oxfam, are also against globalization. They are concerned
that the global organizations, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, are not doing enough to help the poor and indeed, may be
adding to(gop thêm) their problems. Some are critical (chỉ trích) of the World Trade Organization (WTO). They argue that the WTO is making it difficult for
poor countries to protect and build their own industries.
On the contrary, many organizations are in favour of (ủng hộ) globalization. Perhaps the most important one is the WTO. This organization was set up in 1995
and has 123 member countries. It administers (thi hành; thực hiện; thực thi) the rules of international trade agreed by its member countries. The WTO's rules
make it difficult for a country to favour(giúp đỡ) their own industry over imports from other countries. The WTO argues that the growth of trade between
countries increases the wealth of everyone. Trade allows those who can produce goods most cheaply to do so, thus giving everyone the best possible price.
Another pro-globalization organization is IMF. This was established after World War 2 in 1946. It aims to promote international cooperation on finance and
provide temporary help for countries suffering financial problems. The IMF has 182 member countries.
Finally, the United Nations, which was established after the Second World War, has become a promoter of globalization. It aims to promote a shared set of
values in the areas of labour standards, human rights and environmental practices between the UN and the business community.

Archaeological([,ɑ:kiə'lɔdʒikəlkhảo cổ học)records-paintings, drawings (bức vẽ) and carvings of humans engaged in( [in'geidʒ]tham gia)activities involving
the use of hands- indicate that humans have been predominantly([pri'dɔminəntli]phần lớn, chủ yếu là)
right-handed for more than 5,000 years. In ancient Egyptian(ai cập) artwork , for example, the right hand is depicted[di'pikt]mô tả, miêu tả
as the dominant('dɔminənt]át, trội, co ưu thế hơn) one in about 90 percent of the example(người thuận tay fải chiếm 90%). Fracture or wear patterns on
tools (vết đứt gãy và vết xước trên thanh công cụ) also indicate that a majority of ancient people were right- handed.
Cro- Magnon cave paintings (bức vẽ ở hang động) some 27,000 years old commonly show outlines of human hands made by placing one hand against
the cave all (đường nét của bàn tay con người đc làm bằng cách đặt ngc lên bức tranh)and applying paint with the other)(làm như vậy với tay kia.
Children today make similar outlines of their hands (đg tay tương tự) with crayons['kreiən] phấn vẽ màu; bút chì màu, bức vẽ phấn màu) on paper. With
few exceptions, left hands of Cro- Magnons are displayed on cave walls(đặt trên bức tường khắc), indicating that the paintings were usually done by right-
handers. Anthropological [,ænθrəpə'lɔdʒikəl](thuộc) nhân loại học )evidence pushes the record of handedness ['hændidnis]khuynh hướng chỉ dùng một
tay) in early human ancestors back to at least 1.4 million years ago.One important line of evidence comes from flaking( mảnh ) patterns of stone cores used
in tool making : implements (['implimənt] dụng cụ, công cụ; phương tiện) flaked with a clockwise ['klɔkwaiz](adv+adj)theo chiều kim đồng hồ)motion
(indicating a right- handed toolmaker) can be distinguished from those flaked with a counter- clockwise rotation (indicating a left- handed toolmaker).
Even scratches (vết xước; vết thương nhẹ) found on fossil human teeth offer clues([klu:]đầu mối; manh mối). Ancient humans are thought to have cut
meat into strips by holding it between their teeth and slicing it with stone knives, as do present-day Inuit. Occasionally the knives slip (trượt, tuột) and
leave scratches on the users' teeth. Scratches made with a left-to -right stroke ( nét) direction (by right-handers) are more common than scratches in the
opposite direction (made by left- handers).Still other evidence comes from cranial ['kreinjəl](a)sọ) morphology [mɔ:'fɔlədʒihình thái học): scientists think
that physical differences between the right and left sides of the interior ([in'tiəriə] ở phía trong)of the skull ([skʌl]sọ, bộ oc)indicate subtle(['sʌtl] tinh vi,
tinh tế) physical differences between the two sides of the brain. The variation between the hemispheres corresponds to which side of the body is used to
perform specific activities. Such studies, as well as studies of tool use, indicate that right- or left-sided dominance is not exclusive (loại trừ) to modern
Homo sapiens. Population of Neanderthals, such as Homo erectus and Homo habilis, seem to have been predominantly right- handed, as we are.
41.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Human ancestors became predominantly right- handed when they began to use tools
B..It is difficult to interpret the significance of anthropological evidence concerning tool use.
C..Humans and their ancestors have been predominantly right- handed for over a million years.

A. tools B. designs C. examples D. pieces

C. To show that early humans were also predominantly right handed D. To contrast (trái ngược hẳn) them with modem humans

Today the most universally known style of trousers for both men and women is jeans; these trousers are worn throughout the world on a variety of
occasions. Also called levis or denims, jeans have an interesting story.
The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of pants developed. In the 16th century, sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore a
unique style of cotton trousers. In French, the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes, this name became attached to the
trousers and developed into the word jeans.
Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place name. In the 17th century, French sailors began making trousers out of a
specialized type of cloth that was developed in the city of Nimes, France and was known serge de Nimes. This name eventually developed into denim, the
material which jeans are made and an alternative name for these popular pants.
The word levis came from a person. In the 19th century, Levis Strauss tried to sell heavy canvas to miners taking part in the hunt for gold in northern
California. He intended for this canvas to be used by miners to make heavy-duty tents. This first attempt was a failure but he later found success when he
used the canvas to make indestructible pants for the miners. He changed the fabric from brown canvas to blue denim, creating a style of pants that long
outlived him and is now referred to by his name.

A. was the source of the word jeans B. is in Italy C. has a different name in French D. is a landlocked city

A. failed to sell heavy canvas to miners to make tents B. dyed the cloth from brown to blue

by phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognised my voice and that I had made the phone call. We had a bit of an argument but they obviously
didn’t have enough rooms. In the end, the manager phoned hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone. but in four different hotels. By this time, the

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct unsiver to each of the questions.
TSUNAMIS
Tsunamis are waves, but they are far different from the normal waves that occur every day in the ocean. A normal wave is created by the
pull of the moon’s gravity, but tsunamis are a series of great sea waves that are created by a shock from underwater. The most common
causes of tsunamis are underwater earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions.
On Sunday, December 26, 2004, a 9.0-magnitude earthquake occurred under the Indian Ocean near the west coast of the Indonesian
island of Sumatra. It displaced a large amount of water, and sent shock waves in every direction, resulting in a series of 30-foot waves
traveling up to 500 miles per hour. These high speeds cause the waves to be very destructive. They traveled unnoticed at first because they
were not visible on the surface, a common pattern in the occurrence of tsunamis .

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions .
A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake , one of the world’s largest and deepest ,
lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice . Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that
comprises Antarctica . The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal
heat from the earth’s core .The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface .
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area .Radio waves from the survey
equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by
satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake ; the satellite –borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice
remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake .
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific community because of the potential
that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear
fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organism in more exposed areas.The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the
difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated
samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible way to accomplish this.

Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are
now being debated. Advocates of organic foods - a term whose meaning varies greatly frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more
nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development. However, much of
this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these
claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to
separate fact from fiction.
As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have
become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports
that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better
than fumigated grains.
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many
cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So
there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive
organic foods instead.

A. proponents B. merchants C. inspectors D. consumers

A. advantages B. advocates C. organic foods D. products

B.It has no fixed meaning. D. It is seldom used by consumers.
36.The word "unsubstantiated" is closest in meaning to……..
A. unbelievable B. uncontested C. unpopular D. unverified
37.The word "maintain" is closest in meaning to …………
A. improve B. monitor C. preserve D. restore
38.The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods
because ……….
A.organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods
B.many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods
C.conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods
D.too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops

Simply being bilingual doesn't someone to interpret. Interpreting is not only a mechanical process of converting one sentence in language
A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, it's a complex art in which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious counterparts from
tongue to tongue or words that have several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is clearly and accurately
expressed to the listener.
At one international conference,an American speaker said, "You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear", which meant nothing to the
Spanish audience. The interpretation was, "A monkey in a silk dress is st ill a monkey" - an idiom the Spanish understood and that expressed
the same idea.
There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth, usually at a large multilingual
conference, speaks to listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign language speaker says- actually a sentence behind.
Consecutive interpreters are the ones most international negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without sound booths
and headphones. Consecutive interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker says his piece while the interpreter, using a
special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said.
41. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the scope of interpreting.
B. To differentiate between simultaneous and consecutive interpreters.
C.To state the qualifications of an interpreter. D. To point out the importance of an interpreter.
42. The author implies that most people have the opinion that the skill of interpreting is
A.simpler than it really is B.very complex and demanding C. highly valued and admired D.based on principles of business
43. The example "You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear" is used to....
A. show the differences in language A and language B
B. stress the importance of word for word translation
C.emphasize the need for translation of the meaning of what is said
D.point out the difference in attributes of animals in English and Spanish
44. A precondition of being a translator is……………
A. being a linguist B. being bilingual
C. being able to use high-tech equipment D. working well with people
45.Which of the following would a consecutive interpreter be used for?

In many old cities in Europe, there are narrow roads with many shops lying together along the two sides. These commercial places are not so
modern and convenient as those called shopping centres in modern cities, especially in the suburbs of the big cities in the United States.
Shopping centres have developed rapidly because of the shift of the papulation to the suburbs, the growing use of and dependence upon the
automobiles and the heavy traffic in downtown areas. A shopping centre is a large group of stores facing a huge central mall which may be
covered, heated and air-conditioned. A shopping centre is also surrounded by a parking area with space for thousands of cars.
We can buy all kinds of food and get anything we need in a shopping centre. Unlike a supermarket where groceries are chiefly sold, a shopping
centre provides us with all services besides food. We can get our hair cut, eyes tested, clothes washed, we can book our tickets for a world tour
and even enroll in special classes. Shopping centres are therefore, very convenient the customers, but they lack "the sense of closeness " as felt
in older commercial centres.

Read the following passage and mark the letter to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reaction near its center that convert hydrogen to helium. The Sun has
existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth.
By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun's life will be like. About five billion years from now, the core of
the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of
thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is
the closest planet to the Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist.Once
the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a
white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant
to a white dwarf.
After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf.
After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the
Earth's surface.
Question 41: It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun…………...
A. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf B. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years
C. has been in existence for 10 billion years D. is rapidly changing in size and brightness
Question 42: What will probably be the first stage of change for the Sun to become red giant?
A. Its surface will become hotter and shrink. B. It will throw off huge amounts of gases.
C. Its central part will grow smaller and hotter. D. Its core will cool off and use less fuel.
Question 43: When the Sun becomes a red giant, what will the atmosphere be like on the Earth? (cuoi doan 2)
A. It will be enveloped in the expanding surface of the sun. B. It will become too hot for life to exist.
C. It will be almost destroyed by nova explosions. D. It will freeze and become solid.
Question 44: When the Sun has used up its energy as a red giant, it will .............

Several hundred million years ago, plants similar to modern ferns covered vast stretches of the land. Some were as large as trees, with
giant fronds bunched at the top of trunks as straight as pillars. Others were the size of bushes and formed thickets of undergrowth. Still
others lived in the shade of giant club mosses and horsetails along the edges of swampy lagoons where giant amphibians swam. A great
number of these plants were true ferns, reproducing themselves without fruits or seeds. Others had only the appearance of ferns. Their
leaves had organs of sexual reproduction and produced seeds. Although their "flowers" did not have corollas, these false ferns (today
completely extinct) ushered in the era of flowering plants. Traces of these flora of the earliest times have been preserved in the form of
fossils. Such traces are most commonly found in shale and sandstone rocks wedged between coal beds.
Today only tropical forests bear living proof of the ancient greatness of ferns. The species that grow there are no longer those of the
Carboniferous period, but their variety and vast numbers , and the great size of some, remind us of the time when ferns ruled the plant
Kingdom.

Today's cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than
those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as
electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently
available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available,
transportation experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: Shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled
neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes, and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure system to support and make
the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in
commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they shop, dine, or attend a concert. To
encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars. Planners foresee
electric shuttle buses trains, buses, and neighbor-hood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting.
Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: Light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or
electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of
vehicles that can be carried by a freeway today.

The habits of those who constantly play video games are very important to people working in video-game industry. If video games are going to be

Read the passage and choose the best answer.Moby JJICK, was actually more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works.
He traveled extensively and used the knowledge gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels. In 1837, at the age of eighteen,
Melville signed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to Liverpool, England. His experiences on
this trip served as a basis for the novel Redbum (1849). In 1841 Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas. After
jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop to the novel
Omoo (1847). After three years away from home, Melville joined up with a U.S Naval frigate that was returning to the eastern United States
around Cape Horn. The novel White-Jacket (1850) describes this lengthy voyage as a navy seaman.
With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal following among readers eager for his tales of
exotic places and situations. However, in 1851, with the publication of Moby Dick, Melville's popularity started to diminish. Moby Dick,
on one level the saga of the hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of humanity against
the universe. The public was not ready for Melville's literary metamorphosis from romantic adventure to philosophical symbolism. It is
ironic that the novel that served to diminish Melville's popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today.

According to airline industry statistics, almost 90 percent of airline accidents are survivable or partially survivable. But passengers
can increase their chances of survival by learning and following certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety
instructions before takeoff and ask questions if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as
tightly as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates. During takeoffs and landings,
you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before takeoff you should locate the nearest exit and an alterative exit and count
the rows of seats between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessary. In the event that you are forewarned
of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop.
If smoke is present in the cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If possible,
wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew commands and do not
take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when you jump, do so with your
arms and legs extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away from the plane as quickly as possible,
and never smoke near the wreckage.

Since the dawn of time, people have found ways to communicate with one another. Smoke signals and tribal drums were some of the earliest forms of
communication. Letters, carried by birds or by humans on foot or on horseback, made it possible for people to communicate larger amounts of
information between two places. The telegram and telephone set the stage for more modern means of communication. With the invention of the cellular
phone, communication itself has become mobile. For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you and your friends use to keep in touch with family
and friends, take pictures, play games, or send text message. The definition of a cell phone is more specific: it is a hand- held wireless communication
device that sends and receives signals by way of small special areas called cells.
Walkie - talkies , telephones and cell phones are duplex communication devices: They make it possible for two people to talk to each other. Cell phones
and walkie-talkies are different from regular phones because they can be used in many different locations. A walkie - talkie is sometimes called a half-
duplex communication device because only one person can talk at a time. A cell phone is a full- duplex device because it uses both frequencies at the same
time. A walkie-talkie has only one channel. A cell phone has more than a thousand channels. A walkie- talkie can transmit and receive signals across a
distance of about a mile. A cell phone can transmit and receive signals over hundreds of miles. In 1973, an electronic company called Motorola hired
Martin Cooper to work on wireless communication. Motorola and Bell Laboratories ( now AT& T) were in a race to invent the first portable communication
device. Marun Cooper won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone. On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the first cell phone call to his opponent at
AT& T while walking down the streets of New York city. People on the sidewalks gazed at Cooper in amazement. Cooper's phone was called A Motorola
Dyna- Tac. It weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds ( as compared to today's cell phones that weigh as little as 3 or 4 ounces)
After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone available to the general public. After a decade, Motorola
introduced the first cell phone for commercial use. The early cell phone and its service were both expensive. The cell phone itself cost about $ 3, 500. In
1977, AT & T constituted a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago with over 2, 000 customers. In 1981, a second cellular phone system was started in
the Washington, D.C and Baltimore area. It took nearly 37 years for cell phones to become available for general public use. Today, there are more than sixty
million cell phone customers with cell phones producing over thirty billion dollars per years.

Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve
meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage.
But in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of canning. And in the 1850s an
American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more
common during the 1860's, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand.
By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of
food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.
Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing urban populations created
demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to
ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890s, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern
and western strawberries,grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition,
increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. An easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the
1870s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox
became fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920s and 1930s. Almost everyone
now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavy in starches or carbohydrates, and not
everyone could afford meat.
Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables, and daily products to achieve more varied
fare.

Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions below.
At two o'clock one very hot August Sunday, Mrs. Pendlebury sat down in the sitting-room, where it was always cool, to write to her son Frank,
who lived in Australia. By four o'clock she had written. 'Dear Frank. Thank you for your last letter- sorry I have been so long replying, only' - and
that was all. Frank's last letter, or rather his wife Veronica's last letter, for she did all the writing except at Christmas, had arrived in March. How
did she explain five months' silence? She hadn't been ill. She hadn't been what you could call busy. Nothing had happened to write to Australia
about, that was the trouble. It would be insulting and childish.
She'd been invited so many times to go and meet all Frank's family. Every year for the last ten years since he started making money out of his
farm, Frank had invited her to visit them in Australia, all expenses paid, for as long as she chose to stay. Always she had replied 'We'll see.' But it
never went further.
Sometimes Mrs. Pendlebury wondered if the people in the coloured photographs they kept sending existed at all. Was that Frank, now quite a lot
heavier than that confident-looking boy of nineteen who had gone out to Australia so long ago? And his wife, Veronica, who had long red hair and
a permanent smile - who was she? Mrs. Pendlebury had studied her photographs extremely closely and still she could get no idea. Her letters
were warm and friendly enough but they were only words on paper. You couldn't tell from letters. At least, Mrs. Pendlebury hoped you couldn't.
Heaven forbid that anyone should judge her by her painful letters. Only her grandchildren's little messages had any real value. Surprisingly, the
girl Carol, who was fourteen, did not write well and never had much to say but the boy Paul, who was ten, was a "good writer". She enjoyed his
little letters and it made her sad to think he would never know from her few words how pleased she was. What a waste! Three lovely
grandchildren growing up not even knowing their grandmother.
Frank already talked of Carol coming over on her own soon and it really worried her. What would she do with a strange girl? It was the baby that
she most wanted. Alexander, aged eighteen months, would be no problem.
46. Why was Mrs. Pendlebury finding it difficult to write to her son, Frank ?
A. She did not want to tell him about her troubles. B. It was too hot to concentrate on writing.
C. She was hurt that he had not written recently. D. There was nothing particular to write about.
47. Mrs. Pendlebury had never been to Australia because……….
A. she had never been able to make up her mind to go. B. she had thought Frank would not really welcome her.
C. she had been too busy with her own concerns. D. she did not have enough money for the fare.

Read the following passage and mark A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions:
Aside from perpetuating itself, the sole purpose of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters is to "foster, assist and sustain an
interest" in literature, music, and art. This it does by enthusiastically handing out money. Annual cash awards are given to deserving artists in
various categories of creativity: architecture, musical composition, theater, novels, serious poetry, light verse, painting, sculpture. One award
subsidizes a promising American writer's visit to Rome. There is even an award for a very good work of fiction that failed commercially - once
won by the young John Updike for the Poorhouse Fairand, more recently, by Alice Walker for In Love and Trouble.
The awards and prizes total about $750,000 a year, but most of them range in size from $5,000 to $ 12,500, a welcome sum to many young
practitioners whose work may not bring in that much money in a year. One of the advantages of the awards is that many go to the struggling
artists, rather than to those who are already successful. Members of the Academy and Institute are not eligible for any cash prizes. Another
advantage is that, unlike the National Endowment for the Arts or similar institutions throughout the world, there is no government money
involved.
Awards are made by committee. Each of the three departments - Literature (120 members), Art(83), Music(47)- has a committee dealing with its
own field. Committee membership rotates every year, so that new voices and opinions are constantly heard.
The most financially rewarding of all the Academy-Institute awards are the Mildred and Harold Strauss Livings. Harold Strauss, a devoted editor
at Alired A. Knopf, the New York publishing house, and Mildred Strauss, his wife, were wealthy and childless. They left the Academy Institute a
unique bequest years, two distinguished (and financially needy) writers would receive enough money so they could devote themselves entirely to
"prose literature"(no plays, no poetry, and no paying job that might distract. In 1983, the first Strauss Livings of $35,000 a year went to short-
story writer Raymond Carver and novelist-essayist Cynthia Ozick. By 1988, the fund had grown enough so that two winners, novelists Diane
Johnson and Robert Stone, each got $50,000 a year for five years.

As the horizons of science have expanded, two main groups of scientists have emerged. One is the pure scientist; the other, the applied scientist.
The pure or theoretical scientist does original research in order to understand the basic laws of nature that govern our world. The applied scientist
adapts this knowledge to practical problems. Neither is more important than the other, however, for the two groups are very much related.
Sometimes, however, the applied scientist finds the "problems" for the theoretical scientist to work on. Let's take a particular problem of the
aircraft industry: Heat-resistant metals. Many of the metals and alloys which perform satisfactorily in a car cannot be used in a jet-propelled
plane . New alloys must be used, because the jet engine operates at a much higher temperatures than an automobile engine. The turbine wheel in a
turbo-jet must withstand temperature as high as 1,600°F, so aircraft designers had to turn to the research metallurgist for the development of
metals and alloys that would do the job in jet- propelled plane. Dividing scientists into two groups is only one broad way of classifying them,
however. When scientific knowledge is very limited, there was no need for men to specialize. Today, with the great body of scientific knowledge,
scientists specialize in many different fields. Within each field, there is further subdivision. And with finer and finer subdivisions, the various
sciences have become more and more interrelated until no branch is entirely dependant on the others. Many new specialties- geophysics and
biochemistry for example- have resulted from combining the knowledge of two or more sciences.

A. applied scientists are more important B. pure scientists are more important

44. The example given in "Sometimes plane." illustrates how.......…….
A. pure science operates independently of applied science B. the applied scientist discovers the basic laws of nature
C. applied science defines all the areas where basic research is done D. applied science suggests problems for the basic scientist

A. selecting the best heat-resistant metal from existing metals B. causing the jet engine to operate at higher temperatures.
C. developing a Ixirbine wheel capable of generating heat up to 1,600°F
