Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, their population is estimated to be down to zero. What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet. Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves. They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed. Câu 46: What is the main topic of the passage? A. The Bengal tiger B. Problems with industrialization C. International boycotts D. Endangered species Câu 47: The word “poachers” could be best replaced by which of the following? A. Illegal hunters B.

A problem and a solution C. Specific and general information D. A comparison and a contrast Câu 50: What does the word “this” refer to in the passage? A. Interest in material gain B. Killing animals for personal satisfaction C. Bengal tiger D. The decrease in the Bengal tiger population Câu 51: Where in the passage does the author discuss a cause of extinction? A. “Countries around ….for support” B. “What is alarming… personal gratification” C. “Since the world ….down to zero” D. “This money … endangered species” Câu 52: Which of the following could best replace the word “allocated”?

Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular ? Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities. It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office. Câu 56: With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned? A. The failure of telecommuting. B. An overview of telecommuting. C. The advantages of telecommuting. D. A definition of telecommuting. Câu 57: How many Americans are involved in telecommuting? A. Fewer than estimated in USA Today. B. More than 8 million. C. More than predicted in Business Week. D. Fewer than last year. Câu 58: The phrase “of no consequence” in the first paragragh means A. of no good B. of no use C. unimportant D. irrelevant Câu 59: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting, EXCEPT A. The work place is in the home. B. the different system of supervision. C. the opportunities for advancement. D. the lack of interaction with a group. Câu 60: The word “executives “ in the second paragragh refers to A. employees B. telecommuters C. managers D. most people Câu 61: The word “them” in the second paragragh refers to A. telecommuters B. executives C. systems D. responsibilities Câu 62: The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees A. need regular interaction with their families. B. are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office. C. feel that a work area in their home is away from the office. D. are ignorant of telecommuting. Câu 63: The word “reluctant” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by A. willing B. typical C. opposite D. hesitate BY ĐỖ BÌNH – THPT LIỄN SƠN, LẬP THẠCH, VP Trang 4/7 - Mã đề thi 743 Câu 64: When Business Week published “The Portable Executive”, it implied that A. systems for managing telecommuters were not effective.

Topic: Cooking for yourself is not only good for your health but also your pleasure. Do you agree with this? In the modern life now, more and more people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. They think that will save time so that they can have enough time to do their jobs. But I still prefer to prepare and eat food at home. There several reasons. First of all, you can save money if you eat at home. In general, to get profit, the restaurants ask for more money on the same food you cook at home. That is the waste of money. To save money, you may prefer to prepare you food at home with less money. The second, usually, the food in the restaurants is not what you are expecting. you may dislike the way the restaurant cook the same dishes as you do at home. For example, the other day, I asked for potato in a restaurant. After the first bite, I thought it was so awful. My mom never cooked such potato for me! The bad lunch even destroyed my mood in that day. The third, if you prepare food by yourself, you will have a happy mood when you eat it, regardless of the real savor of the food. It goes a saying well "labor brings happiness". In addition, you can change your method of cooking considering your taste on that day. The reasons above may can answer why I prefer to eat food at home. Cooking even has become my hobby now. Come back and have your delicious food, I'm sure you will like it! HẾT 1. D 2. A 3. C 4. B 5.
