We’re going to be late.” We talk about time every day We measure it by the second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year, and century But what is time ? No one can say exactly what it is It is one of the greatest mysteries of our lives We don’t know exactly what time is, but our ability to measure it is very important It makes our way of life possible All the members of a group have to measure time in the same way Time lets us put things in a definite order We know that breakfast comes before lunch The reading class is after the writing class Children can’t play until school is over Time enables us to organize our lives The earliest people saw changes around them They saw day and night, the changes of the moon, and the seasons They started measuring their lives by these changes Then people started inventing clocks The Chinese invented a water clock in the eleventh century, but the Egyptians had them long before that As water dripped from one container to another, it measured the passing time Questions: Why is time a mystery ? How we measure time ? Why is our ability to measure time important ? How does time enable us to organize our lives ? III When the early settlers, especially the English, arrived in the New World, the hardships and dangers awaiting them were totally unexpected Had it not been for some friendly Indians, the colonists never would have survived the terrible winters They knew nothing about planting crops, hunting animals, building sod houses, or making clothing from animal skins Life in England had been much simpler, and this new life was not like what the Spanish explorers had reported Questions: What faced the early settlers when they arrived in the New World ? What were the Indians like ? Could the early colonists survive the terrible winters ? What did the Indians teach them ? Where were the early settlers from ? IV In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs, and politics, the Panama Canal was officially opened, finally linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile canal zone instead of travelling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn It takes a ship approximately eight hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars, one-tenth of what it would cost an average ship to round the Horn More than fifteen thousand ships pass through its locks each year Questions: When was the Panama Canal officially opened ? In what year was construction probably begun on the canal ? How long is the canal zone ? On the average, how much would it cost a ship to travel around Cape Horn ? How many ships travel through the Panama Canal annually ? V Clocks as we know them were probably developed by very religious people in Europe in the thirteenth century They needed to know the exact time so they could pray at the right times By the 1700s, people had clocks and watches that were accurate to the minute Some clocks were beautiful They had very complicated moving parts Some had figures of people or animals that moved on the hour or quarter hour Others played music The movement of the parts is beautiful to watch when you open these clocks Questions: Who developed clocks? Why did they develop clocks? When did people have very accurate clocks? Describe some kinds of clocks at that time What can you see when you open these clocks?

How is water which New Yorkers use? Is there absolutely pure water in the world? What should people to spring water? II Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language Human beings have been writing ( as far as we can tell from surviving evidence ) for at least 5,000 years, but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write: any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk; a normal human being can not be prevented from doing so On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write: in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills so only imperfectly To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to say that the latter is of little importance One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and make possible the records that any civilization must have Thus, if speaking makes us human writing makes us civilized Questions : What is more real than speech ? How long have human beings had speech ? Do all spoken languages in the world have their written forms ? Can a normal human being learn to write without trying ? III One year Miss Wyatt decided to have a holiday in Italy She did not speak much Italian, but wherever she went, she was fortune enough to find people who knew enough English to be able to understand what she wanted, until one day she decided to have lunch in a charming little restaurant in a village in the south of Italy She had seen some nice mushrooms in the market of another village nearby and thought they would taste very good, so when the waiter came to take her order, she inquired whether she could have some mushrooms for her meal, but she had great difficulty in explaining to him because she did not know the Italian word for mushrooms At last she took out a pencil and drew a picture of a mushroom The waiter’s face brightened at once, and he hastened out to the kitchen A minute later he returned, carrying an umbrella Questions : Why did Miss Wyatt’s poor knowledge of Italian not interfere with her enjoyment of her holiday most of the time ? Where did she have trouble in making herself understood ? Why did she think she would like some mushrooms ? How did she try to show the waiter what she wanted ? Why did he bring her an umbrella ?

How did he become blind? What gave him the idea for the Braille system? How old was he when he invented the Braille system? Are there raised letters in the Braille system? II THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT Scientists say that something very serious is happening to the Earth It will begin to get warmer in the 1990s There will be major changes in climate during the next century Coastal waters will have a higher temperature This will have a serious effect on agriculture In northern areas, the growing season will be ten days longer by the year 2000 However, in warmer areas, it will be too dry The amount of water could decrease by fifty percent This would cause a large decrease in agricultural production World temperatures could increase two degrees centigrade by the year 2040 However, the increase could be three times as great in the Arctic and Antarctic regions This would cause the ice sheets to melt and raise the level of the oceans by one or two metres Many coastal cities would be under water Why is this happening ? There is too much carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in the air When oil, gas, and coal burn, they create large amounts of carbon dioxide We send five billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year This amount will double in fifty years This carbon dioxide lets sunlights enter the earth’s atmosphere and heat the earth However, it does not let as much heat leave the atmosphere and enter space It is like a blanket The heat can pass from the sun through the blanket to warm the earth The heat stays there and can not escape through the blanket again Scientists call this greenhouse effect A greenhouse is a building for growing plants It is made of glass or clear plastic QUESTIONS What is a greenhouse ? What causes the greenhouse effect ? 10 So far this week, I (have) two tests and a quiz The science of medicine (advance) a great deal in the nineteenth century Many people (see) the accident while they (wait) for the bus Today is Thursday John (be) late twice this week; he (be) late yesterday and on Monday I first (meet) Jonh a month ago, and I (meet) him several times since then It (rain) very heavily last Monday, but it (not rain) much since then He always (wear) a raincoat and (carry) an umbrella when he walked to the office Tom never (do) any work in the garden; he always (work) on his car Ann (make) a dress for herself at the moment She (make) all her own clothes 10 Amy (not hear) her parents having an argument last night She (listen) to music in her room 11 The children are at the park They (play) ball for the last two hours, but they don’t seem to be tired yet 12 Last Monday, while we (watch) an exciting game in our living room, the electricity (go) out PHẦN I: ĐỌC HIỂU: Bài 1: Chọn từ thích hợp để điền vào chỗ trống câu (mỗi từ sử dụng lần, có từ không sử dụng ): HELPFUL BEGIN INDUSTRIAL COMPARISON UNCOMFORTABLE HOMELESS BELIEF PROUD RETIREMENT SIMILARITY OF ENDLESS I write endless letters application, but got no reply In _ with most other countries, Britain has a very high rate of heart attack These old people have saved a lot of money for their The _area of the city is not very attractive Many _ families have to live in hostels He was very of the work he had done He doesn’t agree with the _ that there is life on other planets There is a great _ between Hari and his twin brother These shoes look quite smart but they are terribly _ 10 It’s a nice shop and the assistants are all polite and very Bài 2: Đọc các bài đọc và trả lời các câu hỏi kèm theo: I The general opinion abroad is that London has fog or rain or both, everyday of the year, but on the day that I arrived it was fine and warm, there was a bright sun and a cloudless sky The next day it was just as beautiful; there was a slight wind that gently moved the leaves on the trees, and you could smell the spring in the air “Life is grand”, I thought as I walked in Kensington Gardens It was a straight road and I found the way quite easily When I got my first sight of the Gardens the beauty of it nearly took my breath away The trees were just bursting into leaf, fresh and green and lovely, and there were beds of spring flowers, red and yellow and blue, in the beautiful, smooth grass under the trees Questions : What is the weather like in London according to general opinion ?

II There are people whose immortality begins from the moment of their death Hemingway is one of them He was a great man The whole of his creative work was a long struggle, for Hemingway, the man and the writer, had many enemies Perhaps his great enemy was war He hated it with all his heart, with his whole body, in which 28 bullets had left their traces Hemingway hated those who made business of war In an introduction to his novel “A Farewell To Arms”, Hemingway said that wars started by people who profited from them, and he suggested that those 20 warlike people should be shot on the very first day of war, by sentence of the people Hemingway hated fascism He never surrendered He fought against it with the pen and the sword Questions : What type of people did Hemingway belong to? Why was his creative work a long struggle? Who started wars, according to Hemingway? How did he fight against fascism? III A World Health Organization team investigating the deadly SARS virus says it is possible there is more than one cause of the illness The group, which is meeting with experts in southern China, says it has found evidence that both the bacteria chlamydia and the coronavirus could be sources of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Chlamydia is normally transmitted sexually, and the coronavirus is commonly found in animals Scientists believe SARS originated in China's Guangdong province, and are racing to find its cause so they can develop a cure On Friday, China issued a public apology for the way it handled early information about the epidemic The head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control, Li Leming, admitted there was poor communication between China's medical departments and mass media in providing timely information about the disease SARS has claimed at least 85 lives worldwide, about half of them in China More than 2500 people are infected in 18 countries On Saturday, Hong Kong reports 39 new cases of SARS and three more deaths from the disease Malaysia said on Saturday that a man who died six days ago was probably the country's first known victim of SARS Malaysian officials say the 64-year-old man, who died in a Kuala Lumpur hospital on Sunday, last visited China and Singapore last month Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines are among 14 places where suspected cases have been reported, but not appear in WHO statistics Because the disease is being carried around the world by travelers, many governments are advising citizens against visiting affected areas In the Asia-Pacific region in particular, governments are imposing strict quarantines and urging citizens to wear face masks Questions: According to WHO experts, what could be the sources of SARS ?

II If you were to stop people in the street and ask them to name a ship that had been sunk, it is likely that nearly all of them would say the Titanic For the sinking of the Titanic was, if not the most tragic, certainly the most famous sea disaster in the history of ocean travel The Titanic was built as a luxury liner, intended to be the fastest in the world, and a great deal of publicity had surrounded it The last point probably explains why so many important people from all walks of life were on the boat when it went down The Titanic was on its maiden voyage to America in 1912 when it struck an iceberg and sank Of its 2,300 passengers, more than two-thirds were drown Because the Titanic was thought to be virtually unsinkable, no one was prepared for the tragedy There was total panic as very few of the passengers had bothered to learn the necessary drill in the event of trouble There was severe shortage of lifeboats The one point of calm was to be found in the ballroom when the band carried on playing right to the very end Questions : 23 What many people think about the sinking of the Titanic?

III Recently the World Health Organization announced that the disease of smallpox had almost been wiped out in most parts of the world, thanks to widespread vaccination Most people are vaccinated at least once in their lives and if they wish to travel from one country to another they must be able to show a certificate proving that they have had a recent vaccination In this way the disease has been prevented from spreading and today one seldom hears of it at all This is mainly due to the remarkable discovery made by a country doctor, Edward Jenner, in about 1798 when he published an account of his experiments in a new method called “vaccination” ( from the Latin word “vacca” meaning a cow ) Jenner discovered that people who worked with cattle, like milkmaids and cowmen, were often infected with a harmless disease called cowpox which they caught from the cattle; but these people never seemed to get smallpox So he experimented by making a scratch on the arms of healthy people infecting them with cowpox, and though their arms became sore for a day or two, they soon healed and none of these people ever got smallpox Soon the news of the wonderful discovery spread abroad and people rushed to their doctors to be vaccinated In America, at Gibraltar, in Spain, Egypt and China the simple scratch of the arm was performed on thousands of people, and the terrible smallpox began to disappear Questions: In what two ways most countries guard against the spread of smallpox ? Who was Edward Jenner ? What is the Latin word for a “cow” ? What harmless disease were cowmen and milkmaids often infected with ? How successful has vaccination against smallpox been ?
