The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge. The word “dinosaurs” comes from two Greek words meaning “terrible lizards”, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually not larger than a chicken. Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth’s climate. It is believed that temperatures dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive. 1.What is the best title for this passage? a.The History of Parth. b.Parth’s Largest Reptiles. c.The Metabolism of Dinosaurs. d.The Momination of the land. 2.It can be inferred from the passage that the Age of Reptiles lasted about 135 million years. a. 135 million years. c. 80 million years. b. 200 million years. d. 65 million years. 3. In line 6, the author use the phrase “never to reemerge” to indicate that the dinosaurs became extinct. a. went into hiding c. lost their way b. became extinct d. never died out. 4.According to the passage, what is true about the size of dinosaurs? a.It was rather uniform b.It guaranteed their survival. c.It made them the largest creatures ever on earth. d.It varied quite greatly. 5. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses another theory about the disappearance of dinosaurs. a.the ability of mammals to survive. b.other changes in the climate. c.another theory about the disappearance of dinosaurs. d.the protection of other species. III. Read the article below and put a cross on the letter next to the word that best fits each space. Dear Editor, I went to Newzealand on a student programme last year and I’d like to (1) tell you about it. It was very (2) excited when I knew I was going to Newzealand because I had never been there before. I didn’t think about the problems of speaking English (3) until I met my host family. At first I couldn’t communicate with them because my English was so bad. All the eight years I (4)had been learning wasn’t much use at all, (5) because we didn’t have real practice at school. Even though my grammar was good, my pronunciation wasn’t. My problem is pronouncing “I” and “r”. For example, Newzealand people often asked “What do you eat in Thailand?” I wanted to tell them that we eat rice, but they didn’t understand when I said “We eat lice”. My host mum helped me a lot by (6) correcting my bad pronunciation. I usually practiced by talking to myself when I had a shower, so no one could hear me. After four months my English was (7) muchbetter. Apart (8) from English I learn to make my own breakfast and lunch. I had to ride a bicycle to school everyday. I went swimming and tried water-skiing and sailing, (9) which was wonderful. But the most valuable thing was that I learn to be (10) by myself and to be independent. Kittiya Leelawipat, Commercial College, Bangkok, Thailand. 1. a. say b. tell c. talk d. speak 2. a. exciting b.excites c. excited d. excite 3. a. after b. until c. when d. while 4. a. had b. have c. has d. having 5. a. although b. even c. because d. so 6. a. to correctb. correct c. corrects d. correcting 7. a. more b. many c. much d. a lot of 8. a. from b. with c. for d. to 9. a. where b. which c. who d. what 10. a. with b. on c. to d. by IV. Fill in each gap in the passage below with one suitable word. When you are (1) invited to a meal in Thailand, the words of the invitation literally (2) meancome and eat rice. Indeed, nearly all Thai (3) dishes are eaten with rice, (4) which grows there very easily (5) as the climate is warm and there is (6) plenty of rain. The food is always (7) served in neatly cut pieces, so there is no (8) need to knives and forks but, instead, (9) special spoons and forks are used. The Thais used to eat with their (10) hands and there are still some people who eat this way. There is a particular way of doing it. First they wash their right hand in a bowl of (11) water they only eat with their right hand. They are careful not to let the food (12)tough the palm of their hand. After the meal, the hand is again carefully washed. The meal is usually made up (13) of several different dishes, all of which are spicy. They are served in bowls which everyone shares, (14) though each person has their own bowl of rice. As Thailand has a long coastline, it is not surprising that fish and shellfish (15) play an important part in Thai cooking. V. Use the word to make sentences. 1.

COMPOSITION Which season of the year do you like best? Why ? (Mùa nào trong nămlàmbạn thấythích nhất? Tại sao?) I was born in Northern VietNam, where are four clear seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each season has its own charms and attractions. For example, Spring is the season which offers beautiful flowers and warm weather; Summer is the season of nice holidays when we can enjoy lots of outdoor activities such as picnicking, camping, swimming, fishing etc… Autumn is so beautiful with its ideal weather while Winter can give us such delight as gathering by a fire to chat or tell each other funny stories. As far as I am concerned, I like Autumn best because of the following reasons: During Autumn, which lasts more or less from late July to early October, it is sunny most of the time. The Autumnal sun is often splendid, dying nature yellow. The weather is also ideal because it is not too cold nor too hot. Then the coldish northwesterly wind, which blows gently, thrills everyone with the breath of Autumn. The leaves of the trees turning yellow or red put a gorgeous coat of colours on nature. Autumn is such a wonderful season that many poems and songs have 4 been composed to sing the praises of the season. Autumn is also a season which reminds me of my first day at school, when my mother took me by the hand and led me to school for the first time. Last but not least, Autumn is the time when I can enjoy my favourite fruit and dish which are the Japanese persimmons and the green rice flakes. These are found only in Autumn.

Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions: Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “long, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other’s King, he says in English, “Check”; when the King has been caught and cannot move anywhere he says “Check mate”. These words come from Persian. “Shah mat” means” the king is dead”, that is when the game is over and one player has won. Such an old game changes very slowly. The ruler have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don’t have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world. 1.Which of the following is known to be true? a.Chess is an old Indian travelling game b.Chess is the oldest game in the world c.Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400 d.Chess was played in India long before 900 2.One player has won the game when the other player’s King can not move anywhere. a.he attacks the other player’s King b.he says some Persian words c.the other player’s King can not move anywhere d.he says “check” to the r other player 3.According to the old rules of the game the queen could move no more than one square at a time. a.the queen was the attacked all the time b.the King had to attacked all the time c.the queen could move no more than one square at a time d.the king could not move anywhere 4.Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game? [...]... cheating 3.
