D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones were reworked The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought by Dutch settlers to New York in the early 18 th century Traditionally, Santa Claus - from the Dutch Sinter Klaas - was depicted as a tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white horse through the air Known as Saint Nicholas in Germany, he was usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children In North America he eventually developed into a fat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the religious attributes of Saint Nicholas nor the strict disciplinarian character of Black Peter Santa’s transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem A Visit from Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter The poem introduced many Americans to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housetops in a reindeer-drawn sleigh Portraits and drawings of Santa Claus by American illustrator Thomas Nast further strengthened the legend during the second half of the 19 th century Living at the North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa produced and delivered toys to all good children By the late 19th century he had become such a prominent figure of American folklore that in 1897, when Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the New York Sun newspaper asking if Santa was real, she received a direct answer: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” Question 31

A the North Pole B Europe C North America D New York City Question 37 The answer “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” is an illustration for the fact that A the New York Sun was popular with children B Santa Claus was a prominent figure at that time C newspapers are unreliable D Virginia O’Hanlon was a reader of the New York Sun Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the blanks The tourist industry is (38) to be the largest industry Before 1950 one million people travelled abroad each year but by the 1900s the figure had rosen to 400 million every year (39) large numbers of tourists, however, are beginning to cause problems For example, in the Alps the skiers are destroying the mountains they came to enjoy Even parts of Mount Everest in the Himalayas are reported to be covered (40) old tins, tents, and food that have been thrown away © Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 3/5 But at a time when we have (41) freedom to travel than ever before, more and more people are asking how they can enjoy their holidays without causing problems by spoiling the countryside Now there is a new holiday guide called "Holidays That Don't Cost The Earth" It tells you how you can help the tourist industry by asking your travel agent the right questions (42) you go on holiday Question 38 A seen B figured C regarded D considered Question 39 A The B These C Such D Those Question 40 A by B with C under D beneath Question 41 A larger B better C greater D bigger Question 42 A after B before C when D as soon as Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions WHY SO MANY CHILDREN? The rapid population growth in less developed countries is a result of high birth rates Women in these countries have many children on average Why they have such large families, when feeding and caring for them can be a problem? The answer may often be that they have no choice Many factors make it difficult for women to limit the size of their families Economics undoubtedly plays an important role In poor countries, a large family is necessary for economic survival More children mean more hands for work They also mean someone to take care of the parents in old age In industrialized countries, on the other hand, children not increase family income Instead, they are an expense Furthermore, people in these countries usually not depend on their children in their old age However, economics cannot entirely explain birth rates Saudi Arabia, for example, has one of the highest per-capita incomes in the world, but it also has a very high birth rate (7.0) Mexico and Indonesia also not follow the general rule Though they are poor countries, they have reduced their population growth by 53 percent and 25 percent in recent years Clearly, other factors are involved These factors may relate to the economic situation, but not necessarily Population experts now believe that the most important of these factors is the condition of women A high birth rate almost always goes together with lack of education and low status for women This would explain the high birth rate of Saudi Arabia Traditional Arab culture gives women little education or independence and few possibilities outside the home It also explains the decline in birth rates in Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia Their governments took measures to improve education for women and opportunities for them outside the home Another key factor in the birth rate is the availability of birth control Women may want to limit their families, but have no way to so In Ireland, for example, birth control is illegal Not surprisingly, Ireland has the highest birth rate in Europe Where governments have made birth control easily available, on the other hand, birth rates have gone down This is the case in Singapore, Sri Lanka, and India, as well as in Indonesia, Thailand, and Mexico In these countries women have also been provided with health care and help in planning their families Yet another factor to influence birth rate is infant mortality (Infant mortality is the percentage of babies who die in their first year.) In industrialized countries infant mortality is around 1.5 percent In less developed countries, however, it can be 20 percent or more Fearing the loss of some children, women are encouraged to have more Thus, an effective program to reduce population growth must work in many areas But above all it must be aimed at women and their needs Only then does it have any chance of success Question 43 This passage is about A women in less developed countries B how economics can influence the birth rate C population growth D the main factors that influence the birth rate Question 44 In poor countries, A the birth rate is usually low B the birth rate is usually high C the per-capita income is usually high D children are an expense for the family Question 45 In industrialized countries, children © Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 4/5 A are an expense for the family B help to care for their parents in old age C not usually depend on their parents D are necessary for economic survival Question 46 According to the passage, Saudi Arabia is a A rich country with a low birth rate B poor country with a high birth rate C poor country with a low birth rate D rich country with a high birth rate Question 47 We can infer from this passage that women generally prefer to A work at home B have no children C have smaller families D have large families Question 48 One reason for the high birth rate in Ireland is that A birth control is not easily available B birth control is easily available C many women work outside the home D infant mortality is high Question 49 Which is NOT a factor that influences the birth rate? A Economics B Culture C Infant mortality D Children’s role Question 50 According to the passage, what Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia have in common? A They have high per-capita incomes and high birth rates B Birth control is illegal C Their governments give more advantages to women D They not fear the loss of children _THE END _ © Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5/5 ... following exchanges Question 29 - James: “Thank you for a lovely evening.” - Michael: “ _.” A You are welcome B Have a good day C Thanks D Cheer © Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch,...
