The miracle therapy of blood transfusion was invented by an English doctor, James Blundell In 1818
he performed the first transfusion, on a patient said to be incurable Using a syringe, he successfully injected blood taken from one of his students In 1829 , he saved a woman suffering from a severe hemorrhage About 1900 Dr Karl Landsteiner of Vienna found that some people’s blood was not
compatible with others’ and that these blood variations could be classified into groups When portable
transfusion apparatus was invented, direct transfusions between persons of the same blood type could be performed on the battlefield In 1914 the discovery of anticoagulants made possible the storage of blood for future use
But to save lives, the right blood had to be in the right place at the right time The first blood service was established by the British red Cross in 1921 During War World II, Red Cross blood banks saved
Trang 6countless human lives Now the Red Cross engages in transfusion work in sixty-eight countries It

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80
It is estimated over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct What causes extinction?
When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish The exact causes of a species’
death vary from situation to situation Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt Food resources may be affected
by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources Other
species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of
a species
The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time – a mass extinction One of the
best- known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many
other forms of life Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago, when approximately 95 percent of all species died Mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not living in the oceans Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction
Trang 7One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have tended to
be more intense every 26 million years This periodic extinction might be due to intersection of the Earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative Some researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason A species’ survival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events
Question 71: The word “it” in line 2 refers to
Question 72: The word “ultimately” in line 6 is closest in meaning to
Question 73:What does the author say in paragraph 1 regarding most species in Earth’s history?
A They have remained basically unchanged from their original forms
B They have been able to adapt to ecological changes
C They have caused rapid change in the environment
D They are no longer in existence
Question 74: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as resulting from rapid ecological
change?
Question 75: The word “demise” in line 10 is closest in meaning to
Question 76:According to paragraph 2, evidence from fossils suggests that
A extinction of species has occurred from time to time throughout Earth’s history
B extinction on Earth have generally been massive
D dinosaurs became extinct much earlier than scientists originally believed
Question 77: The word “finding” in line 16 is closest in meaning to
Question 78: Which of the following can be inferred from the theory of periodic extinction mentioned in
paragraph 3?
A Many scientists could be expected to disagree with it
B Evidence to support the theory has recently been found
C The theory is no longer seriously considered
D Most scientists believe the theory to be accurate
Question 79:In paragraph 3, the author makes which of the following statements about a species’ survival?
Question 80:According to the passage, it is believed that the largest extinction of a species occurred

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70
Music can bring us to tears or to our feet, drive us into battle or lull us to sleep Music is indeed remarkable in its power over all humankind, and perhaps for that very reason, no human culture on earth has ever lived without it From discoveries made in France and Slovenia even Neanderthal man, as long
as 53,000 years ago, had developed surprisingly sophisticated, sweet-sounding flutes carved from animal
bones It is perhaps then, no accident that music should strike such a chord with the limbic system- an
ancient part of our brain, evolutionarily speaking, and one that we share with much of the animal
kingdom Some researchers even propose that music came into this world long before the human race ever did For example, the fact that whale and human music have so much in common even though our evolutionary paths have not intersected for nearly 60 million years suggests that music may predate humans They assert that rather than being the inventors of music, we are latecomers to the musical scene Humpback whale composers employ many of the same tricks that human songwriters do In addition to using similar rhythms, humpbacks keep musical phrases to a few seconds, creating themes out
of several phrases before singing the next one Whale songs in general are no longer than symphony
Trang 12movements, perhaps because they have a similar attention span Even though they can sing over a range
of seven octaves, the whale typically sing in key, spreading adjacent notes no farther apart than a scale They mix percussive and pure tones in pretty much the same ratios as human composers- and follow their ABA form, in which a theme is presented, elaborated on and then revisited in a slightly modified form
Perhaps most amazing, humpback whale songs include repeating refrains that rhyme It has been
suggested that whales might use rhymes for exactly the same reasons that we do: as devices to help them remember Whale songs can also be rather catchy When a few humpbacks from the Indian Ocean strayed
into the Pacific, some of the whales they met there quickly changed their tunes- singing the new whales’
songs within three short years Some scientists are even tempted to speculate that a universal music awaits discovery
Question 61: Why did the author write the passage?
A To describe the music for some animals, including humans
B To illustrate the importance of music to whales
C To show that music is not a human or even modern invention
D To suggest that music is independent of life forms that use it
Question 62: The word “sophisticated” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _
A complex B intricate C well-developed D entangled
Question 63: The word “one” in the first paragraph can be replaced by
A the chord B the left brain C the right brain D the limbic system
Question 64: According to the passage, which of the following is true of humpback whales?
A Their tunes are distinctively different from human tunes
B They can sing over a range of seven octaves
C They do not use rhyme, unlike humans
D Whale songs of a particular group cannot be learned by other whales
Question 65: The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to
A human composers B whole songs C octaves D whales
Question 66: Which of the following is NOT true about humpback whale music?
A It uses similar patterns to human songs
B It’s comparative in length to symphony movements
C It’s easy to learn by other whales
D It’s in a form of creating a theme, elaborating and revisiting in rhyming refrains
Question 67: The word “refrains” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _
Question 68: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A The earliest human beings came from France and Slovenia
B Music helped to shape the whale brain
C Humpback whales imitate the way human composers so in creating their own music
D The research of musical brain will lead to a discovery of a universal music

The education of deaf people has a long history Some educators preferred to teach sign language, a method of communicating with one's hands While others emphasized to teach deaf people to speak

The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately 2 million B.C and lasted until 3000
B.C Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons that modern scientists found This period was
divided into the Paleolethic ,Mesolithic ,and Neolithic Ages During the first period (2 million to 8000 B.C), the first hatchet and use of fire for heating and cooking were developed As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about 1 million years into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelters in caves, wear clothing and develop new tools
During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C ), people made crude pottery and the first fish hooks, took
dog hunting, and developed the bow and arrow, which were used until the fourteen century A.D

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80
Matching the influx of foreign immigrants into the larger cities of the United States during the late
nineteenth century was a domestic migration, from town and farm to city, within the United States The country had been overwhelmingly rural at the beginning of the century, with less than 5 percent of Americans living in large towns or cities The proportion of urban population began to grow remarkably after 1840, increasing from 11 percent that year to 28 percent by 1880 and to 46 percent by 1900 A country with only 6 cities boasting a population of more than 8,000 in 1800 had become one with 545 such cities in 1900 Of these, 26 had a population of more than 100,000 including 3 that held more than a million people Much of the migration producing an urban society came from smaller towns within the United States, but the combination
of new immigrants and old American "settlers" on America's "urban
frontier" in the late nineteenth century proved extraordinary
The growth of cities and the process of industrialization fed on each other The agricultural revolution stimulated many in the countryside to seek a new life in the city and made it possible for fewer farmers to feed
the large concentrations of people needed to provide a workforce for growing numbers of factories Cities also provided ready and convenient markets for the products of industry, and huge contracts in transportation and construction-as well as the expanded market in consumer goods-allowed continued growth of the urban sector
of the overall economy of the United States
Technological developments further stimulated the process of urbanization One example is the Bessemer converter (an industrial process for manufacturing steel), which provided steel girders for the construction of
skyscrapers The refining of crude oil into kerosene, and later the development of electric lighting as well as
of the telephone, brought additional comforts to urban areas that were unavailable to rural Americans and
helped attract many of them from the farms into the cities In every era the lure of the city included a major
psychological element for country people; the bustle and social interaction of urban life seemed particularly
intriguing to those raised in rural isolation
Question 71: What aspects of the United States in the nineteenth century does the passage mainly discuss?
Trang 20Question 72: The word "influx" in line 1 is closest in meaning to
Question 73: What proportion of population of the United States was urban in 1900?
A Five percent B Eleven percent C Twenty-eight percent D Forty-six percent
Question 74: The word "extraordinary" in line 10 is closet in meaning to
Question 75: The phrase "each other" in line 11 refers to
A foreign immigrants and domestic migrants B farms and small towns
C growth of cities and industrialization D industry and transportation
Question 76: The word "stimulated" in line 12 is closest in meaning to
Question 77: Why does the author mention "electric lighting" and "the telephone" in lines 19-20?
A They contributed to the agricultural revolution B They are examples of the conveniences of city life
C They were developed by the same individual D They were products of the Bessemer converter
Question 78: The word "them" in line 21 refers to
Question 79: The word "era" in line 21 is closest in meaning to
Question 80: The word "intriguing" in line 23 is closest in meaning to

the falcons were eating migratory birds from other places where DDT was still used In order to increase
the survival rate, scientists were raising the birds in laboratories and then releasing them into
mountainous areas This practice achieved only moderate success, however, because many of the birds raised in captivity could not survive in the wild
There is now, however, a new alternative to releases in the wild A falcon that has been given the
name Scarlett chose to make her home on a ledge of the 33rd floor of a Baltimore, Maryland, office
building rather than in the wild, and, to the surprise of the scientists, she has managed to live quite well in the city Following this example, programs have been initiated that release birds like Scarlett into cities rather than into their natural wild habitat These urban releases are becoming a common way to strengthen the species Urban homes have several benefits for the birds that wild spots do not First, there is an abundance of pigeons and small birds as food sources The peregrine in the city is also protected from its main predator, the great horned owl Urban release programs have been very successful in reestablishing the peregrine falcons along the East Coast Though they are still an endangered species, their numbers increased from about 60 nesting pairs in 1975 to about 700 pairs in 1992 In another decade the species may flourish again, this time without human help

The word robot first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek In the play, a man
makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner In the 1940s, the American science fiction writer Issac Asimov wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the
term robotics, the science of robots Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were developed by an
engineer, Joseph F Engelberger, and an inventor, George C Devol Together they started Unimation, a manufacturing company that produced the first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate Robots of this type
were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success They worked reliably
and saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction films In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans They were simply pieces of computer – controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands” Since they were made of metal, they could perform certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat And since robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be tiring or boring for humans Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in many factories around the world Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the same time other jobs have been created in the design, development, and production of the robots
Question 71: What is Unimation?
Question 72: When did the word “robot” appear?
Question 73: What can be said about robots?
A They take away some jobs but offer some in return

A Because robots were reliable and economical to General Motors, other companies started to use robots
B Robots only worked well for General Motors

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70
knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the
development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs One alternative is to eat substitute
eggs These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are
cooked They have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called "designer" eggs These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly They cite scientific studies to
back up their claim And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol
levels have brought mixed results It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main
determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level
Question 61: What is the main purpose of this passage?
A to inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol
B to convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes
C to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D to introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level
Trang 31Question 62:As used in line 4, the word "plummet" refers to which of the following?
Question 63: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart disease?
Question 64: As used in line 6, which of the following could best replace the word "somewhat"?
Question 65: According to the passage, what has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A dietary changes in hens B decreased production
Question 66: According to the passage, one egg yolk contains approximately what fraction of the
suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
Question 67: The word "portrayed" in line 14 could best be replaced by which of the following?
A described B studied C destroyed D tested
Question 68: What does the author mean by the phrase "mixed results" in line 16?
A The results are blended B The results are inconclusive
C The results are a composite of things D The results are mingled together
Question 69: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of the following
types of eggs EXCEPT
Question 70: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A reducing egg intake but not fat intake B increasing egg intake and fat intake
C increasing egg intake but not fat intake D decreasing egg intake and fat intake

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in
need of reform Private school existed, but only for the very rich There were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not
“waste” their time on education but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s work It was
in the face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen
to be uneducated AS Superintendent of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848,
he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country

drawn to them like vultures to a dying animal Researchers with the U.S Forest Service fastened
sensors to the bark of drought-stricken trees and clearly heard distress calls According to one of
the scientists, most parched trees transmit their plight in the 50 - to 500-kilohertz range (The
unaided human ear can detect no more than 20 kilohertz.) Red oak, maple, white pine, and birch all make slightly different sounds in the form of vibrations at the surface of the wood The scientists think that the vibrations are created when the water columns inside tubes that
run the length of the tree break, a result of too little water flowing through them These fractured
columns send out distinctive vibration patterns Because some insects communicate at ultrasonic
frequencies, they may pick up the trees’ vibrations and attack the weakened trees Researchers
are now running tests with potted trees that have been deprived of water to see if the sound is what attracts the insects “Water-stressed trees also smell differently from other trees, and they experience thermal changes, so insects could be responding to something other than sound,” one scientist said
Question 71: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A the vibrations produced by insects B the sound made by trees
C the mission of the U.S Forest Service D the effect of insects on trees

A are the same no matter what type of tree produces them
B cannot be heard by the unaided human ear
C fall into the 1−20 kilohertz range
D serve as a form of communication among trees
Question 76: The word “fractured” in line 9 is closest meaning to
A broken B hollow C long D blocked
Question 77: Which of the following could be considered a cause of the trees’ distress signals ?
A lack of water B attacks by insects C experiments by scientist D torn root
Question 78: In line 11, the phrase "pick up" could best be replaced by which of the following?
