A The influence of art deco on the design of furniture and household accessories B Ways in which government programs encouraged the development of art deco C Reasons for the popularity of art deco in New York and California D Architectural manifestations of art deco during the 1920’s and 1930’s Question 36: The word “encompass” in line is closest in meaning to _ A include B Enhance C separate D replace Question 37: The phrase “The first” in line refers to A the 1920’s and 1930’s B design trends C the term “art deco” D Skyscrapers Question 38: In line 8, the author mentions “an ancient Mesopotamian temple tower ” in order to A emphasize the extent of architectural advances B explain the differences between ancient and modern architectural steles C describe the exterior shape of certain “art deco” buildings D argue for a return to more traditional architectural design Question 39: The streamlined moderne style is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT _ A animal motifs B “speed stripes” C round windows D flat roofs Question 40: The phrase “came to the forefront” in line 15 is closest in meaning to _ A went through a process B grew in complexity C changed its approach D became important Question 41: According to the passage, which of the following statements most accurately describes the relationship between art deco and art nouveau?

A What constitutes an air pollutant B The economic impact of air pollution C How much harm air pollutants can cause D The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere Question 56: The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A admittedly B quickly C considerably D negatively Question 57: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _ A water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas B the definition of air pollution will continue to change C most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities Question 58: The word "These" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_ A the components in biogeochemical cycles B the various chemical reactions C the pollutants from the developing Earth D the compounds moved to the water Question 59: 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 have existed since the Earth developed D They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants Question 60: According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions _ A will damage areas outside of the localized regions B will react harmfully with natural pollutants C can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants D can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants Question 61: The word "localized" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A circled B encircled C surrounded D specified Question 62: According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if _ A the natural level is also known C it is in a localized area B it can be calculated quickly D the other substances in the area are known Question 63: The word "detectable" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A beneficial B special C measurable D separable Question 64: Which of the following is best supported by the passage? A Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution B Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants C One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws D To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws WRITING PART Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentences printed bepore it Question 65: He left quietly, so that he wouldn’t disturb the children → So as Question 66 : There is a rumour that you stole it → It is ……………………………………………………………………………… Question 67: If Mike hadn’t been interested, the trip would have been cancelled → But ………………………………………………………………………… Question 69: Jenny finds it very much relaxing to listen to this wonderful type of music → It’s very much ………………………………………………………………… Question 68: This button mustn’t be touched under any circumstances → Under no Part II Write a letter to a pen pal about the importance of family in your life and your family rules ( about 140 words ) - - - THE END - - PART Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentences printed bepore it Question 65: He left quietly, so that he wouldn’t disturb the children → So as not to disturb the children, he left quietly Question 66 : There is a rumour that you stole it → It is rumoured that you stole it Question 67: If Mike hadn’t been interested, the trip would have been cancelled → But for Mike's interest, the trip would have been cancelled Question 68: Jenny finds it very much relaxing to listen to this wonderful type of music → It’s very much relaxing for Jenny to listen to this wonderful type of music Question 68: This button mustn’t be touched under any circumstances → Under no circumstances should this button be touched Part II Write a letter to a pen pal about the importance of family in your life and your family rules 87 Tran Hung Dao street Thai Binh, Vietnam 23th January, 2016 Dear John, I have received your letter and I feel so glad when knowing that you had passed your examinations with good marks You want me to tell you about my family rules, and the importance of family in my life?
