PART 2: Read the following passage and choose the cor rect answer (A, B or C) to each of the questions that follow . Write your answer in the numbered box es. (30 points) Are you an exercise fanatic or do you prefer to lie in front of the TV? There’s good news and there’s bad news whoever you are. We all have some idea how fit we are - for example, someone even a little fitter than me doesn’t have to stop for breath at the top of a hill! The question is how do you get fit? Exercise, of course! But (and this is the good news for people like me!) not all the time. Too much training is actually bad for your body. Of course, this doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t take exercise, but rest is also important. Muscles are damaged during physical exercise. Điểm bằng số Điểm bằng chữ Chữ ký G.khảo Chữ ký G.khảo Số phách Số T.tự Bài thi 4 After a really hard day, your body needs around 48 hours to recover . While you are resting, your muscles are repaired and strengthened. A good way to get fit is to take up running. If you want to give it a try, choose a distance that’s long is enough to challenge you but short enough to allow you to finish in comfort. Sa ve the long distances until you’ve had plenty of practice. A ‘fun run’ with runners every level of training is a good place to start. Keep away from runs with big hills and try to avoid extremely hot or cold weather. Remember - build up gradually and have two or three rest days every week. A few days before the ‘big day’, start taking it easy. There’s more good news for lazy people like me. After hard exercise, your muscles need carbohydrates and protein - so you should eat something like a sandwich fairly quickly. And the more you exercise, the more food you need. Rest is essential if you want your fitness to improve - and so is sensible eating and drinking. And that can be done in front of the TV! Fitness fanatic or couch potato?

A dream comes true Freddy Adu: A successful teen 1. _____________ Are you one of the millions o f people who love soccer? Perhaps you dream of being a famous soccer player yourself, watched by excited fans all over the world! For a young American soccer player named Freddy Adu, that dream came true. At just 14, Freddy started playing professionally f or DC United, which made him the youngest professional athlete in modern team sports history. 2. _____________ How did Freddy Adu become one of the most exciting young soccer players in the world? A few years ago, he was just another kid in Ghana, kicking a b all around with his friends. But it wasn’t hard to see that he was born to play the game. His mother, Emelia, says he has been playing soccer since he could walk. Back home in Ghana, he played soccer against men three times his age. 3. _____________ Freddy’s career took off after his family moved to the USA. He was only years old then. Life wasn’t easy at first. As a single mother, Emelia worked long hours to support the family. Meanwhile, Freddy practiced his game on the school grounds. He was soon noticed by a local soccer coach, and became the best player on the team, playing with kids four or five years older than him. 4. _____________ Soon others started paying attention. When Freddy was 10, a team from Italy offered him $750,000 to play for them. But Emelia, who has always looked out for him, decided he was too young to accept. Freddy wasn’t very disappointed. He joined the Bradenton Academy, a US soccer program in Florida, and finished high school when he was 14. Shortly afterwards, he signed his contract wi th DC United and now, at the age of 17, earns half a million dollars a year doing what he loves. 5. _____________ Freddy says he’s just like any ordinary kid in many ways. He likes Playstation, and tries to look good for the girls. He thinks his mom is the be st cook in the world. Like many other teens, his dream is to play in the World Cup and his favorite soccer players are Pele and Ronaldinho of Brazil. As a soccer star, he is having the time of his life. “I’m just having a blast,” he said. “ That was the go al all along. When you don’t enjoy yourself, it takes a lot out of it.” Your answers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. PART 4: Read the text. Fit the missing sentences A -E into gaps 1-5 in the text. Write your answers in the numbered box es. (10 points) One day in 1963, a dolphin named Elvar and a famous astronomer, Carl Sagan, were playing a little game. The astronomer was visiting an institute which was looking into the way dolphins communicate with each other. Sagan was standing on the edge of one of the tanks wher e several of these friendly, highly intelligent creatures were kept. (1)………………… The dolphin wanted Sagan to scratch his stomach again, as the astronomer had done twice before. Elvar looked up at Sagan, waiting. Then, after a minute or so, the dolphin leapt up through the water Điểm bằng số Điểm bằng chữ Chữ ký G.khảo Chữ ký G.khảo Số phách Số T.tự Bài thi 6 and made a sound just like the word ‘more’. The astonished astronomer went to the director of the institute and told him about the incident. (2)……………. Dolphins have bigger brains in proportion to their body size than human have, and i t has been known for a long time that they can make a number of sounds. (3)………………….Sound travels much faster and much further in water than it does in air. That is why the parts of the brain that deal with sound are much better developed in dolphins than i n humans. (4)……………… Scientists don’t agree on this. A language is not just a collection of sounds, or even words. A language has a structure and what we call a grammar. The structure and grammar of a language help to give it meaning. (5) …………… If you stop to think about it, you will see that this difference doesn’t come from the words in the question but from the difference in structure. That is why the question “Can dolphin speak?” can’t be answered until we find out if dolphins not only make sounds but also arrange them in a grammatical order which affects their meaning. A. For example, the two questions “Who loves Mary?” and “Who does Mary love?” mean very different things. B. “Oh, yes. That’s one of the words he knows”, the director said, showing no surpris e at all. C. Elvar had just swum up alongside him and had turned on his back. D. But can it be said that dolphins have a “language”, in the real sense of the word? E. What is more, these sounds seem to have different functions, such as warning each other of danger. Your answers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. SECTION 3: WRITING (60 points) PART 1: Rewrite the following sentences in such a way that they have the same meaning as the original ones. (10 points) 1. He couldn’t afford to buy that car.
