A Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution B One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws C To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws D Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants Trang 5/6 - Mã đề thi 896 Câu 63: For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling air pollution? A They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants B They're less harmful to living beings than other pollutants C They have existed since the Earth developed D They function as part of a purification process Câu 64: What does the passage mainly discuss? A How much harm air pollutants can cause B The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere C The economic impact of air pollution D What constitutes an air pollutant PART B WRITING Part I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it Câu 65: As he grew older, he became more and more forgetful The …………………………………………………………………………………………… Câu 66: Handicapped people find shopping in supermarkets difficult It is difficult ………………………………………………………………………………… Câu 67: I started working for the company a year ago I have been …………………………………………………………………………………… Câu 68: It took me fifteen minutes to find the answer to the question I spent ………………………………………………………………………………………… Câu 69: Without your good preparations, we couldn’t have succeeded in your presentation If it …………………………………………………………………………………………… Part II In 120 to 150 words, write a paragraph about the person who had a great influence on your study ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… - - HẾT Trang 6/6 - Mã đề thi 896
