Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement (or best answers the question) about each passage. The size and location of the world's deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last 100 years, deserts have been growing at a "frightening" speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but the greatest desert makers are humans. In developing countries, 90 percent of the people use wood for cooking and heating. They cut down trees for firewood. But trees are important. They cool the land under them and keep the sun off the smaller plants. When leaves fall from a tree, they make the land richer. When the trees are gone, the smaller plants die, and there is nothing but sand. Yet people must use firewood, raise animals, and grow crops in order to live. Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth. Algeria planted a green wall of trees across the edge. of the Sahara to' stop the desert sand from spreading. Mauritania planted a similar wall around Nouakchott, the capital. Iran puts a thin covering of petroleum on sandy areas and plants trees. The oil keeps the water and small ir the land, and men on motorcycles keep the sheep and goats away. Other countries build long canals to bring water to desert areas. Yet land that will probably become desert in the future equals the size of Australia, the United States, and the former Soviet Union together. Can people stop the growth of the world's deserts and save the land that is so essential to life? 41. Most people in developing countries ______ . A. planted trees on the edge of the deserts B. cook on wood fires C. put oil on sandy areas D. raise sheep and goats 42. We can infer that men on motorcycles keep the sheep and goats away so that ______ . A. they won't eat the small trees B. they won't destroy the covering of oil C. they won't drink water in the canals D. they won't blow the sand away 43. When all the trees in an area are cut down, ______ ____________________. A. their leaves make the land richer B. the smaller plants can grow better C. they cool the land under their leaves D. there is nothing left but sand 44. The word "frightening" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______ . A. “awful” B. "extremely fast" C. “powerful” D. "wonderful" 45.

Choose the word or phrase (A, B, C, or D) that best fits each space in the following passage. DESERTIFICATION The Sahara Desert is growing by 10km each year. The whole earth gets 600km2 of desert area more every year. This process is called "desertification." This term started being (46)________in the 1950s.

Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the tooth. This happens after 9 12 GRADE QUỲNH NHƯ germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day – once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay. 46. Good teeth mainly help us to ____.
