III/ READING( 2.5points) Part 1: Read the following story carefully and then answer the questions that follow. The Shawl This story happened in Philadelphia towards the end of the nineteenth century. One winter evening Dr. S. Weir Mitchell sat down in an armchair and started reading a book, but after an exhausting day at the surgery, he soon felt asleep. A short while later he woke up suddenly when heard a doorbell ringing. There was a girl standing on the doorstep. It was cold and snow was falling, but she was wearing only a thin shawl around her shoulders and she was shivering. “My mother is very ill,” she said. “please come.” Walking through the dark and snowy streets was not easy, but eventually they came to an old apartment building and the girl led the doctor up to a room on the third floor. There was a woman lying on the bed and the doctor recognized her as a former servant of his. After examining her, he took out his notepad and looked around for the girl. “Where’s your daughter?” He asked the woman. “I need her to go for some medicine.” “My daughter?” She said in surprise. “My daughter died a month ago.” “But that’s impossible,” said the doctor. “She came to fetch me. I saw her. She was wearing a shawl.” “My daughter’s shoes and her shawl are in there,” said the woman, pointing to a small cupboard. The doctor stopped writing out the prescription and went to a cupboard. He saw the girl’s shawl lying on the shelf. It was folded and dry. It clearly had not been worn that night. Questions: 1. Give a(n) synonym / equivalent / explanation of the following words or phrases from the text. a. a shawl : b. exhausting : c. was shivering : d. eventually : e. prescription : 3 2. When and where did the incident take place? 3. What was the weather like that night? How did the girl feel? Why so? 4.

There is a really good sports club near my school. During the week, I play tennis there for an hour before school starts. On weekends, I usually work out at the gym near my house for a few hours. I also play baseball with some friends from school. It’s so much fun! 2. I don’t like jogging or doing anything too energetic. I prefer taking walks. I like to take a short walk every day through the park across from my house. Sometimes my boyfriend goes with me. It’s nice total and look at the flowers and trees. On Sunday, I like to swim, but for only about a haft hour. I sleep the rest of the weekend. 7 3. I am a big football fan, but I only watch it on TV. I can’t stand playing it! There are great games to watch on the weekend. I also enjoy watching tennis I’d like to learn someday, but I don’t like to sweat. I love chess and often play with my younger sister. She’s really good at it and usually wins. On the weekends, I love to play video games with some of my friends. 4. I just love to exercise! I like many different sports. Let’s see I like swimming a lot. I get up very early, around 5a.m, and swim for two hours from Monday to Friday. I also enjoy basketball and play with a group of friend from work every Tuesday night. And I’ve also started playing golf this year. Before playing, I go jogging to warm up. 5. I enjoy exercise, but I don’t do it as much as I should. I meet a friend every Wednesday and we play tennis. I’m not a very good player, but it’s fun and we usually play for an hour. On weekends, I like to bicycle in our neighborhood. I guess I spend an hour or two doing that. Oh, and I love baseball, but only watching it while sitting on the couch eating popcorn! Part 2: Interviewer: Hello and welcome. We’re spending the first part of today’s programmed talking about Tanya Perry, and with me today is Ray Potter, her friend and colleague for many years Ray: Yes, well, I’ve known Tanya for nearly 20 years. Not many people know that she was born in London, in 1948. In 1952, her parents moved with Tanya and her brother to the north west. They lived in various places, before finally coming to Manchester in 1956. Tanya spent a very happy period at school. In fact she was in the same class as Jack Peters, the famous poet. David Thompson, the artist, was also at the school – a couple of years below her, I think. So it was an interesting time for Tanya, who actually began to write short stories while she was at school. One of her stories appeared in the school magazine – I have a copy here. It’s extraordinary, you can see a lot of her idea starting to grow. When Tanya left school, she didn’t go to university, as Jack Peters did, but got a job immediately. She was never interested in university life. What she wanted was to be part of the real world, to meet different people and get more experience of life. So in the early 1970s she became a waitress, working in what was then one of the most popular cafés in Manchester. She was writing at night and in 1975 she had her first play performed, at the Edinburgh festival. She gave up her day job the following year, to be able to write full-time. Several of her plays were performer, including one at the Court Theatre in London. This was where she met film director Robin Negate, who she later married. Robin introduced her to the film world and, in 1979, she wrote the story which later became the film ‘City life’, which Robin directed. It won the prize for best foreign film at an important French Film Festival in 1984. Tanya could have moved to Hollywood then, but she was still married to the theater – and to Robin – so she decided to stay here. Now she has 24 plays in print, 18 in translation, which makes her work very widely known all over the world. . 1 PHÒNG GIÁO DỤC & ĐÀO TẠO KỲ THI CHỌN HỌC SINH GIỎI THÀNH PHỒ THÀNH PHỐ PLEIKU NĂM HỌC 20 0 9- 2010 *** MÔN THI: TIẾNG ANH- LỚP 9 – (VÒNG 1) ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC Thời gian : 150 phút. in this letter) Dear Sir, Sincerely yours, Tom Robinson. 5 PHÒNG GIÁO DỤC & ĐÀO TẠO KỲ THI CHỌN HỌC SINH GIỎI THÀNH PHỒ THÀNH PHỐ PLEIKU NĂM HỌC 20 0 9- 2010. magníficent 9. transmít 10. volunteér II/VOCABULARY & GRAMMAR: Part 1. 1 point ( each 0.1) 1.were caught - were leaving 2. hadn’t been delivered 3. arrive - will be picked up - taken
