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 resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of the whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags. Morse-code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings. Câu 46. The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to____. A. tourists B. the deaf and the mute C. thoughts and feelings D. sign language motions Câu 47.

Read the following text then answer the questions that follow by circling its corresponding letter marked A, B, C, or D. It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread , potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay. Câu 06. Good teeth help us to ____.

It can grow very tall (from three to nine meters) if it is left alone in the wild. It has dark green leaves on the outside and lighter green leaves underneath. Small white blossoms appear on the leaves, making the coffee plant look like it’s covered with snow. After a few days, the fragrant blossoms fall off the plant, and small berries begin to grow. The berries change from green to dark red in about six months. Underneath the berry skin there is a green bean. When the berries are ripe, they are picked, and the bean inside is removed. This is the bean that produces coffee. Coffee beans are picked by hand, one by one. Then they are dried and prepared for market. Coffee beans are shipped all over the world. When they reach their destination, different coffee beans are blended together to produce different kinds of coffee.

Read the following text then answer the questions that follow by circling its corresponding letter marked A, B, C, or D. The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor – saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor – saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. “In Europe,” said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant. “it was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteen-century agricultural machinery first came. At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been design in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles New bold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers however, would have none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow.
