According to the best evidence gathered by space probes and astronomers, Mars is an

inhospitable planet, more similar to Earth's Moon than to Earth itself - a dry, stark, seemingly lifeless world Mars' air pressure is equal to Earth's at an altitude of 100,000 feet The air there is

95 percent carbon dioxide

Mars has no ozone layer to screen out the sun's lethal radiation Daytime temperatures mayreach above freezing, but because the planet is blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere, theheat radiates back into space Even at the equator, the temperature drops to -50C (-60F) at night.Today there is no liquid water, although valleys and channels on the surface show evidence ofhaving been carved by running water The polar ice caps are made of frozen water and carbondioxide, and water may be frozen in the ground as permafrost

Despite the difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility oftransforming Mars into a more Earth-like planet Nuclear reactors may be used to melt frozen gases

and eventually build up the atmosphere This in turn could create a "greenhouse effect" that would

stop heat from radiating back into space Liquid water could be thawed to form a polar ocean Once

enough ice has melted, suitable plants could be introduced to build up the level of oxyzen in the

atmosphere so that, in time, the planet would support animal life from Earth and even permanenthuman colonies "This was once thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant," saidChristopher McKay, a research scientist at NASA "But now it's starting to look practical Wecould begin work in four or five decades."

The idea of "terra-forming" Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction But

as researchers develop a more profound understanding of how Earth's ecology supports life, they

have begun to see how it may be possible to create similar conditions on Mars Don't plan onhomesteading on Mars any time soon, though The process could take hundreds or even thousands

Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognised form ofpollution, it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals

is highly subjective and, therefore, variable Exposure to lower levels of noise may be sightlyirritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss Particularly incongested urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causesphysical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to

including human beings In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict,

the skin pales, and muscles tense In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought aboutthe flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of the responses persist even longerthan the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased

Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, insdustrial society, we are constantly responding

in the same way that we would respond to danger Recently, researchers have concluded that noiseand our response may be much more than any annoyance It may be a serious threat to physical andpsychological health and well-being , cause damage not only to the ear and brain but also to theheart and stomatch We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal healthproblem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of

noise as well Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more

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

Even before the turn of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the realistic and the formalistic Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute, terms When used to suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end they are still just labels Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist There is also an important difference between realism and reality, although this distinction is often forgotten Realism is a particular style, whereas physical reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic and formalistic Virtually all movie directors go to the photographable world for their subject matter, but what they do with this material - how they shape and manipulate it - determines their stylistic emphasis.

Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a minimum of distortion In photographing objects and events, the filmmaker tries to suggest the copiousness of life itself Both realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize) certain details from the chaotic sprawl of reality But the element of selectivity

in realistic films is less obvious Realists, in short, try to preserve the illusion that their film world is unmanipulated, an objective mirror of the actual world Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretense They deliberately stylize and distort their raw materials so that only the very naive would mistake a manipulated image of an object or event for the real thing.

We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing Some filmmakers are more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated The camera is used conservatively It is essentially a recording mechanism that reproduces the surface of tangible objects with as little commentary as possible A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and directness This is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the realistic cinema specializes in art that conceals art.

Question 35 What does the passage mainly discuss?

C Styles of filmmaking D Filmmaking 100 years ago

Question 36 With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?

A Realism and formalism are outdated terms

B Most films are neither exclusively realistic nor formalistic.

C Realistic films are more popular than formalistic ones.

D Formalistic films are less artistic than realistic ones

Question 37 Whom does the author say is primarily responsible for the style of a film?

A The director B The actors C The producer D The camera operator Question 38 The word "shape" in line 8 is closest in meaning to _.

Question 39 The word " preserve" in line 14 is closest in meaning to

Question 40 The word “They” in line 16 refers to _.

Question 41 How can one recognize the formalist style?

A It uses familiar images B It is very impersonal

C It obviously manipulates images D It mirrors the actual world.

Question 42 The word " tangible" in line 20 is closest in meaning to

A concrete B complex C various D comprehensible

Question 43 Which of the following terms is NOT used to describe realism in filmmaking?

A Simple B Spontaneous C Self-effacing D Exaggerated

Question 44 Which of the following films would most likely use a realist style?

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

Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit This 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 low 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 55: What is the main purpose of the passage?

A To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.

B to inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.

C To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten

D To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.

Question 56:According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?

A minerals B cholesterol C canola oil D vitamins

Question 57: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?

A in fact B a little C indefinitely D a lot

Question 58: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?

A increasing price B decreased production

C dietary changes in hens D concerns about cholesterol

Question 59: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the

suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?

A 3/4 B 2/3 C 1/2 D 1/3

Question 60: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?

Question 61: What is the meaning of 'back up'?

Question 62: What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'?

A The results are blended B The results are a composite of things.

C The results are inconclusive D The results are mingled together.

Question63:According to the passage,egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following

types of eggs EXCEPT?

Question 64: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 decreasing egg intake and fat intake D increasing egg intake but not fat intake

Question 30: Hundred of scientists have been involved in the research.

When someone is sick, the doctor has to fly to the person’s home His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the person’s house Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate thecorrect answer to each of the following questions

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to do outstandingly well Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it

is simply something a person is born with Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be develop The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.

It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability to do well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a

good engine and fuel.”

Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.

One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.

This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no link between intelligence and socioeconomic level of a child’s family In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect the intelligence.

Gifted people can not be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining.

People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:

- Marry an intelligent person.

- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.

- Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.

- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for

a child who wants to become an outstanding musician.

Question 55: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that .

A different twins generally have different levels of ability

Reading 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

Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese expression for " high water in a harbor" These waves are also referred to

by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides Scientists often refer to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea seismic activity.

Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano, for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers per hour In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than one or two meters It is when they hit the shallow water the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters.

Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis arc Japan and Hawaii Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often comes with little warning and can therefore prove disastrous Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of thei r imminent arrival.

Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel.

Question 45: The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses

A underwater earthquakes B storm surges C tides D tidal waves Question 46: According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT that

A they're caused by sudden changes in high and low tides

B they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves

Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis

A are often identified by ships on the ocean

B generally reach heights greater than 40 meters

C are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean

D cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean

Question 50: A main difference between tsunamis in Japan and in Hawaii is that tsunamis in Japan are more likely to

A come from greater distances B be less of a problem

C originate in Alaska D arrive without warning

Question 51: The possessive " their" in the third paragraph refers to

A these tsunamis B the inhabitants of Hawaii

C the Hawaiian islands D thousands of miles

Question 52: A " calamitous" tsunami in the last paragraph is one that is

A at fault B expected C disastrous D extremely calm

Question 53: From the expression " on record" in the last paragraph, it can be inferred the tsunami that accompanied the Krakatoa volcano

A might not be the greatest tsunami ever B was not as strong as the tsunami in Lisbon

C was filmed as it was happening D occurred before efficient records were kept Question 54: The passage suggests that - the tsunami resulting from the Kr- volcano

A was unobserved outside of the Indonesian islands

B resulted in little damage

C caused volcanic explosions in the English Channel

D was far more destructive close to the source than far away

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace One should be wary , however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character The last century saw

a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction

in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership (độc giả đặc biệt) on the other By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which

were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied.

D a change in the status of literate people

Question 58: Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of .

A the decreasing need to read aloud

B the development of libraries

C the increase in literacy

D the decreasing number of listeners

Question 59: It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an indication of

A a decline of standards of literacy

B a change in the readers’ interest

C an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes

D an improvement of printing techniques

Question 60: The phrase “a specialised readership” in paragraph 4 mostly means “ ”.

A a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge

B a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge

A Reading aloud was more common in the past than it is today.

B Not all printed mass media was appropriate for reading aloud.

C The decline of reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect.

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years Both Princeton and Stanford have seen 5 decreases in their enrollments Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower

10 There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree The first one

is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee

a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating 15 with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees Students have asked the question, " Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?"

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.

The peregrine falcon, a predatory bird indigenous to North America, was once in danger of extinction In the 1960s, scientists discovered byproducts of the pesticide DDT in the birds' eggs, which caused them to be too soft to survive The use of the pesticide had been 5 banned in the United States, but 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 10 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 15 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 20 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 25 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.

Question 45 What is the main topic of the passage?

A survival of peregrine falcons B releases into the wild

C endangered species D harmful effects of pesticides

Question 46 In line 1, the phrase " indigenous to" could be best replaced by

A typical of B protected by C adapted to D native to

Question 47 The word " byproducts" in line 3 could best be replaced by which of the following?

A derivatives B proceeds C chemicals D elements

Question 48 In line 5, the word " banned" could be best replaced by

A authorized B developed C disseminated D prohibited

Question 49 Why were the peregrine falcons in danger?

A because of pesticides used by American farmers

B because they migrated to countries where their eggs could not survive

C because they ate birds from other countries where DDT was still used

D because they were prized by hunters and hunted to near extinction

Question 50 The word " releases" as used in line 12 most probably means

A internment B regression C distribution D possessions

Question 51 The word " ledge" in line 14 is closest in meaning to

Question 52 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason why a falcon might choose to live in a city?
