food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S households contribute money to charity 51: New immigrants to the U.S could seek help from A the people who came earlier B the US government agencies C only charity organizations D volunteer organizations 52: It took welfare programs a long time to gain a foothold in the U.S due to the fast growth of A industrialization B modernization C urbanization D population 53: The word “instituted” in the first paragraph mostly means A “executed” B “studied” C “introduced” D “enforced” 54: The Social Security program has become possible thanks to A deductions from wages B people’s willingness to work C donations from companies D enforcement laws 55: Most of the public assistance programs after the severe economic crisis A were introduced into institutions B did not become institutionalized C functioned fruitfully in institutions D did not work in institutions 56: That Social Security payments will be a burden comes from the concern that A elderly people ask for more money B the program discourages working people C the number of elderly people is growing D younger people not want to work 57: Persons on low incomes can access public housing through A low rents B state spending C donations D federal expenditure 58: Americans on low incomes can seek help from A federal government B government agencies C state governments D non-government agencies 59: Public assistance has become more and more popular due to the A young people’s voluntarism only B volunteer organizations C people’s growing commitment to charity D innovations in the tax system 60: The passage mainly discusses Tea c h e r :Quỳnh Như A public assistance in America B immigration into America C funding agencies in America D ways of fund-raising in America The wind controls our planet's weather and climate But how much we understand about this complex force(61) can kill and spread fear?On the night of October 15, 1987, the south of England was (62) _ by strong winds Gusts of over 130 km/h(63) through the region Nineteen people were killed, £1.5-billion worth of damage was (64) and 19 milliontrees were blown down in just a few hours.Although people thought of this (65) _ a hurricane, the winds of 1987 were only a (66) storm They remain far better known than the much more serious storms of January 25, 1990, (67) most of Britain was hit by daytime winds of up to 173 km/h On this occasion, 47 people were killed, even though, (68) in 1987, the weather forecasters issued accurate warnings Extreme weather events such as these are dramatic (69) of the power of the wind It is one part of the weather that people generally not give a second (70) to, but across the world the wind plays a crucial role in people's lives 61: A what B which C when D where 62: A attacked B besieged C struck D beaten 63: A ran B blew C flew D spread 64: A paid B created C resulted D caused 65: A like B unlike C same as D as 66: A strength B length C power D force 67: A until B why C when D while 68: A when B like C unlike D such as 69: A recalls B remains C memories D reminders 70: A help B think C care D thought Health and fitness are not just for young people They are for anyone willing to accept the (71) for a good diet and (72) exercise With age, there is a tendency to feel that the body is no longer able to (73) Aches and pains are (74) normal Instead of pushing the body to (75) _, activities become limited Yet examples after examples have shown us that older people can – and should – be (76) Men and women in their sixties have run in marathons, races of more than twenty-six miles Some professional athletes stay (77) into their forties and fifties For most people, simple activities like walking and swimming are all that is needed to stay in (78) It’s important to include exercise in your daily routine In the winter, (79) push-ups, sit-ups, and other indoor exercises Of course, such exercises will be of little use (80) you follow them with soda and chips 71: A discipline B ruling C strictness D regulation 72: A regular B useful C much D little 73: A run B malfunction C operate D perform 74: A believed B thought C made D considered 75: A weaker B more C greater D faster 76: A eager B active C bold D passive 77: A passive B competitive C equal D comparative 78: A need B form C contact D shape 79: A make B get C work D 80: A although B unless C if D otherwise PRACTICE TEST I- Make the correct choice : 1.She is too weak;
