after a ten-mile walk into the hills one finally reaches a plot of land and two small huts so hidden in the thick over-grown forest that only a handful of people know Dorothea is there She lives happily and totally alone - growing her vegetables, looking after her trees and dogs, cats and chickens Once a month or so an old friend passes by with her food supplies and mail - usually including a letter from her sister in Scunthorpe and some bits of clothing from friends in Canada Sometimes a local man will come and chop wood for her and the occasional group of British soldiers will come across her and be greeted with the offer of a cup of coffee At night she lies in her tiny sleeping hut with the dogs on the floor, the cats on the table near the typewriter and one of the hens settled down in the corner of the packet bookshelf, and listens for hours to any Spanish, English, German or French broadcasts she can find on her radio Sometimes she gets lonely but most of the time the animals and the radio are company enough But recently the very things which she had escaped from and hidden from so well have begun to catch up with her The peace of the forest has been destroyed by the roar of earth-moving machines not many miles away Humanity and the 20 th century, once only heard of distantly on the radio, are now on her doorstep Things began to change three years ago The new main north-south highway in Belize was cut through the forest only four or five miles away “Now more and more people know I‘m here,” she says, “I feel more threatened each day” Câu Dorothea‘s huts a are in a country with the same population as Wales b were built for just a few people c are entirely surrounded by trees d have always been her home Câu Dorothea lives in the forest because a she doesn‘t like living near people b machines destroyed her home c she has no where to live d she is too old to move Câu To keep her company, Dorothea has a her sister b a postman c some animals d friends from Canada Câu Dorothea spends a lot of time a studying languages b chopping down trees c listening to the radio d talking with her neighbours Câu In the last three years, Dorothea has been disturbed by a the making of a new road b people visiting her home c threats of violence d what she has heard on the radio 12 Read the text below and choose the correct word for each space HONEY Honey is a sweet liquid made by bees It …(1)… of water and sugars Bees may travel as …(2)… as seventy-five thousand kilometres and visit over two million flowers to produce just half a kilo of honey The colour and flavour of honey depend …(3)… the type of flower visited In …(4)… , there are more than three hundred …(5)… of honey The lighter-coloured ones are generally milder in flavour than darker honey In ancient …(6)… , honey was the main sweet food, as sugar was very …(7)… Honey was of great …(8)… to the ancient Egyptians, who used it as payment Today, honey is produced and eaten in …(9)… part of the world Research suggests that it prevents tiredness and improves athletic performance However, honey is not just food - it …(10)… be taken for sore throats and is used in many skin and hair-care products Câu a involves b includes c contains d consists Câu a soon b far c long d well Câu a to b for c on d with Câu a case b order c place d fact Câu a collections b varieties c differences d sets Câu a dates b years c times d Season Câu a rare b slim c distant d small Câu a value b cost c price d charge Câu a most b all c some d every Câu 10 a ought b can c shall d need ... and c however d but b becomes c comes d makes b up c beside d for b common c new d old DE II Câu hỏi The children had been of the danger, but had taken no notice a prevented b explained c... does he b isn’t he c didn’t he d doesn’t he His father had him how to make model aeroplanes a guided b taught c described d planned I would like to offer a small to anyone who finds my... company enough But recently the very things which she had escaped from and hidden from so well have begun to catch up with her The peace of the forest has been destroyed by the roar of earth-moving
