Many parents believe that they should begin to teach their children to read when they are (36) _ more than toddlers This is fine if the child shows a real interest but forcing a child could be counter-productive if she isn't ready Wise parents will have a (37) _ attitude and take the lead from their child What they should provide is a selection of (38) _ toys, books and other activities Nowadays there is plenty of good (39) _ available for young children, and of course, seeing plenty of books in use about the house will also (40) _ them to read Of course, books are no longer the only source of stories and information There is also a huge range of videos, which can reinforce and extend the pleasure a child finds in a book and are (41) _ valuable
in helping to increase vocabulary and concentration Television gets a bad review as far as children are concerned, mainly because too many spend too much time watching programmes not intended for their age (42) _ Too many television programmes induce an incurious, uncritical attitude that is going to make learning much more difficult However, (43) _ viewing of programmes designed for young children can be useful Just as adults enjoy reading a book after seeing it serialised on television, so children will pounce on books which (44) _ their favourite television characters, and videos can add a new (45) _ to a story known from a book

Trang 3An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in
such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very
flexible definition that permits continuous change When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by
various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air
purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such a region, human
output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would
occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million
(ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm
Question 46: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A The economic impact of air pollution B What constitutes an air pollutant.
C How much harm air pollutants can cause D The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere

cities
Question 49: The word "These" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_.
A the various chemical reactions B the pollutants from the developing Earth
C the compounds moved to the water or soil D the components in biogeochemical cycles
Question 50: For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling air pollution?
A They function as part of a purification process. B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants
C They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants D They have existed since the Earth developed
Question 51: According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions
A can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants B can overwhelm the natural system that removes
pollutants
C will damage areas outside of the localized regions D will react harmfully with natural pollutants Question 52: The word "localized" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _
A specified B circled C surrounded D encircled

C the natural level is also known D it can be calculated quickly

C Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants

II Topic: Living in city or countryside makes differences to anyone What do you think about this?
Trang 5I grew up in a small town and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides
of both I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong After ten years of living in one, I can't imagine ever living in a small town again.
Small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transportation In a small town, you have to own a car to ensure a comfortable living You can't get around without one because there isn't any kind of public transportation Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transportation It's not free, but it's often cheaper than driving when you consider gas and time Especially if you don't have a car, you're better off in the city.
I love the excitement of big cities Small towns have a slow pace Large cities mean you have to adapt
to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trying a new restaurant I enjoy that challenge very much Another pan of the excitement of city living is the variety of cultural activities available There is a wide assortment of theatre, music and dance performances available in big cities These things are rare in small ones.
The final thing I like about large cities is the diversity of the people The United States is made up of people of different races, religions, abilities, and interests However, you seldom find such a variety of people
in a smaller town I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become boring.
Of course, security is a concern, and that's one area where small towns are superior to big cities Still,
I would rather be a bit more cautious and live in a large city than to feel secure but bored.
