A pilot cannot fly by sight alone In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving The basic principle of radar is

exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person

determine the size of the cave With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging” “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set Besides being of critical importance to

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 5000 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 cannot 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

Trang 2

Trang 4

writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly

To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter One advantage writing

has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization must have Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized

A all languages should have a written form

B writing has become too important in today’s society

C everyone who learns to speak must learn to write

D speech is more basic to language than writing

Câu 33: Normal human beings

A learn to talk after learning to write B learn to write before learning to talk

C learn to write and to talk at the same time D learn to talk before learning to write

Câu 34: According to the passage, writing

A is represented perfectly by speech B represents speech, but not perfectly

C developed from imperfect speech D is imperfect, but less so than speech

Câu 35: Learning to write is

A too difficult B easy C not easy D very easy

Câu 36: In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of

A severely handicapped children B people who learn the rudiments of speech

C intelligent people who couldn’t write D people who speak many languages

Câu 37: In the author’s judgment,

A writing is more real than speech

B writing has more advantages than speech

C speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does

D speech is essential but writing has important benefits

Câu 38: According to the author, one mark of any civilized society is that it

A keeps written records B affirms the primacy of speech over writing

C teaches its children to speak perfectly D affirms the primacy of writing over speech

Câu 39: Which of the following is NOT true?

A It is easy to acquire the writing skill

B Writing has become so important in our culture

C Writing represents speech, but not perfectly

D Speech is essential but writing has important benefits

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in need of

reform Private schools existed, but only for the very rich There were very few public schools because of the

strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not “waste” their time on education

but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s work It was in the face of this public sentiment that

educational reformers set about their task Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated As Superintendent of Education in the state

of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school

districts around the country He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system

It is hard to think of a world without gas or electricity Both are commonly used for lighting and heating

today We now can instantly flick a lighter or strike a match to make a flame But it was not long ago that

there were no such things as matches or lighters To make fire, it was necessary to strike a piece of iron on flint for sparks to ignite some tinder If the tinder was damp, or the flint old, you had to borrow some fire from a neighbor

We do not know exactly when or how people first used fire Perhaps, many ages ago, they found that sticks would burn if they were dropped into some hole where melted lava from a volcano lay boiling They brought the lighted sticks back to make their fire in a cave Or, they may have seen trees catch fire through being struck

by lightning, and used the trees to start their own fires

Gradually people learned they could start a fire without traveling far to find flames They rubbed two pieces

of wood together This method was used for thousands of years

When people became used to making fires with which to cook food and stay warm at night, they found that certain resins or gums from trees burnt longer and brighter They melted resins and dipped branches in the liquid to make torches that lit their homes at night Iron stands in which torches used to be fixed can still be seen in old buildings of Europe

There was no lighting in city streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps were installed Boys ran about London at night carrying torches of burning material They were called torch boys, or link boys, and earned a living by guiding visitors to friends’ houses at night

For centuries homes were lit by candles until oil was found Even then, oil lamps were no more effective

than a cluster of candles We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and castles, but we forget that they must have been gloomy and murky places at night

Câu 66: The word “lighter” in the passage mostly means

A a device that uses electricity, oil or gas to produce light

B a small device that produces a flame for lighting cigarettes, etc

C the energy from the sun, a lamp, etc that makes it possible to see things

D a hot bright stream of burning gas that comes from something that is on fire

Câu 67: To make a fire in times just before the advent of matches, it was essential to have access to

A a burning fire or to possess flint B a burning fire or to possess iron

C flint, iron and dry tinder D a magnifying glass

Câu 68: The first fire used by people was probably obtained

A from the sun’s heat through glass B by rubbing wood together

C from heat or fire caused by nature D by striking iron against flint

Câu 69: Torches for lighting were made from

A the wood of gum trees B iron bars dipped in melted resins

C wooden poles dipped in oil D tree branches dipped in melted resins

Câu 70: Before the electric lamp was invented

A oil lamps and then candles were used

B candles and oil lamps appeared about the same time

C candles and then oil lamps were used

D people did not use any form of lighting in their houses

Câu 71: The word “splendors” in the passage mostly means

On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass

of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee

Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances

To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned In Australia they use coal

or water to drive this machinery When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal

Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation

Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the

environment They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays Most importantly, they

hope to trap sunlight more efficiently We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels

Question 41: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to

A suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy

B emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity

C imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy

D discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity

Question 42: Before electricity, what was sometimes passed through pipes to heat rooms?

Question 43: What does the author mean by saying that electricity is flexible?

Trang 15

A It is cheap and easy to use B It is used to drive motor engines

C It can be adapted to various uses D It can be made with ease

Question 44: What do we call machines that make electricity?

C Generators or turbines D Pipes and radiators

Question 45: The main forms of power used to generate electricity in Australia are

A atomic power and water B water and coal

C sunlight and wind power D wind and gas

Question 46: The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to

A harmful effects B the tides C scientists D new ways

Question 47: Electric magnets are used in steel works to

A lift heavy weights up to ten tons B test the steel for strength

C heat the molten steel D boil a jug of water

Question 48: The advantage of harnessing the power of the tides and of sunlight to generate electricity is that they

A do not pollute the environment B are more reliable

C are more adaptable D do not require attention

Question 49: Which of the following power sources causes pollution by emitting harmful gases?

Question 50: The best title for this passage could be

A “Types of Power Plants” B “Electricity: Harmful Effects on Our Life”

C “How to Produce Electricity” D “Why Electricity Is So Remarkable”

It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education Nevertheless, it has

been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school The difference between

schooling and education implied by this remark is important

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling Education knows no

limits It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor It includes both the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning The agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist Whereas schooling has a

certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises A chance conversation with a

stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions People receive education from infancy on Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one’s entire life

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught For

example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about

political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling

C listing and discussing several educational problems

D telling a story about excellent teachers

Trang 23

A going in many directions B involving many school subjects

C allowing no exceptions D including everything or everyone

Question 74: According to the passage, the doers of education are

A mostly famous scientists B mainly politicians

C only respected grandparents D almost all people

Question 75: What does the writer mean by saying “education quite often produces surprises”?

A Educators often produce surprises

B It’s surprising that we know little about other religions

Question 76: Which of the following would the writer support?

A Without formal education, people won’t be able to read and write

B Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day

C Our education system needs to be changed as soon as possible

D Going to school is only part of how people become educated

MICKEY MANTLE

Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time He played for the New York Yankees in their years of glory From the time Mantle began to play professionally in 1951 to his last year in 1968, baseball was the most popular game in the United States For many people, Mantle symbolized the hope, prosperity, and confidence of America at that time

Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed and left-handed He won game after game, one World Series championship after another, for his team

He was a wonderful athlete, but this alone cannot explain America’s fascination with him

Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor miner from Oklahoma His career, from the lead mines of the West to the heights of success and fame, was a fairy-tale version of the American dream Or perhaps it was because America always loves a

“natural”: a person who wins without seeming to try, whose talent appears to come from an inner grace That was Mickey Mantle

But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems He played without complaint despite constant pain from injuries He lived to fulfill his father’s dreams and drank

to forget his father’s early death

It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body It gave him cirrhosis of the liver and

accelerated the advance of liver cancer Even when Mickey Mantle had turned away from his old life

and warned young people not to follow his example, the destructive process could not be stopped Despite a liver transplant operation that had all those who loved and admired him hoping for a recovery, Mickey Mantle died of cancer at the age of 63

Dictionary, 7 th Edition, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80

The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline Many of the most beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development When British people think of the countryside they think of farmland, as well as open spaces They imagine cows or sheep in

green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley Most farmland is

privately owned but is crossed by a network of public footpaths

Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation They spend their free time walking or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch In summer people go to fruit farms and pick strawberries and other fruit Only a few people who live in the country work on farms

Many commute to work in towns Many others dream of living in the country, where they believe

they would have a better and healthier lifestyle

Trang 29

The countryside faces many threats Some are associated with modern farming practices,

and the use of chemicals harmful to plants and wildlife Land is also needed for new houses The green belt, an area of land around many cities, is under increasing pressure Plans to build new roads are strongly opposed by organizations trying to protect the countryside Protesters set up camps to prevent, or at least delay, the building work

America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in the West in states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live In the New England states, such as Vermont and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by hills and

green areas In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, fields of corn or wheat reach to the horizon and there are many miles between towns

Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns Life may be difficult for people who live in the country Services like hospitals and schools may be further away and going shopping can mean driving long distances Some people even have to drive from their homes to the main road where their mail is left in a box In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in the country say that they like the safe, clean, attractive environment But their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can

One of the factors contributing to the intense nature of twenty-first-century stress is our continual exposure to media – particularly to an overabundance of news If you feel stressed out by the news, you are far from alone Yet somehow many of us seem unable to prevent ourselves from tuning in to

an extreme degree

The further back we go in human history, the longer news took to travel from place to place, and the less news we had of distant people and lands altogether The printing press obviously changed all that, as did every subsequent development in transportation and telecommunication

When television came along, it proliferated like a population of rabbits In 1950, there were 100,000 television sets in North American homes; one year later there were more than a million Today, it’s not unusual for a home to have three or more television sets, each with cable access to perhaps over a hundred channels News is the subject of many of those channels, and on several of

them it runs 24 hours a day

What’s more, after the traumatic events of September 11, 2001, live newscasts were paired with

perennial text crawls across the bottom of the screen – so that viewers could stay abreast of every story all the time

Needless to say, the news that is reported to us is not good news, but rather disturbing images and sound bytes alluding to disaster (natural and man-made), upheaval, crime, scandal, war, and the like Compounding the problem is that when actual breaking news is scarce, most broadcasts fill in with scare stories about things that possibly might threaten our health, safety, finances, relationships, waistline, hairline, or very existence in the future This variety of story tends to treat with equal alarm

a potentially lethal flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream that overpromises smooth skin

Are humans meant to be able to process so much trauma – not to mention so much overblown

anticipation of potential trauma – at once? The human brain, remember, is programmed to slip into

alarm mode when danger looms Danger looms for someone, somewhere at every moment Exposing ourselves to such input without respite and without perspective cannot be anything other than a source of chronic stress

(Extracted from The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Beating Stress by Arlene Matthews Uhl - Penguin Group 2006)

Question 36: According to the passage, which of the following has contributed to the intense nature of

twenty-first-century stress?

A The degree to which stress affects our life B Our inability to control ourselves

C An overabundance of special news D Our continual exposure to the media

Question 37: In the past, we had less news of distant people and lands because

A printing, transportation, and telecommunications were not developed

B means of communication and transportation were not yet invented

C most people lived in distant towns and villages

D the printing press changed the situation too slowly

Question 38: The pronoun “them” in paragraph 3 refers to

A TV channels B TV news C television sets D cable access

Question 39: The word “traumatic” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

A fascinating B upsetting C exciting D boring

Trang 31

Question 40: According to the passage, when there is not enough actual breaking news, broadcasts

A are full of dangerous diseases such as flu

B send out live newscasts paired with text across the screen

C are forced to publicise an alarming increase in crime

D send out frightening stories about potential dangers

Question 41: As stated in the passage, a flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream tend to

A be scarce breaking news B involve natural and man-made disasters

C be treated with equal alarm D be warmly welcomed by the public

Question 42: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?

A The only source of stress in our modern life is the media

B Many TV channels supply the public with breaking news

C Many people are under stress caused by the media

D The news that is reported to us is not good news

Question 43: The word “slip” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to

obviously

A the result of an overabundance of good news

B the result of human brain’s switch to alarm mode

C a source of defects in human brain

D a source of chronic stress

Question 45: What is probably the best title for this passage?

Read the following passage on climate change, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80

Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes

to our climate which are taking place Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods

These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming

alarmingly rapid

The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years The implications for the planet are very serious Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture

It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped This leads to the warming up of the planet Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries Of these

summits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997 There it was agreed that the most

industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions

It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb

greenhouse gases At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic

deforestation

Sadly, the targets are not being met Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering

American movies create myths about college life in the United States These stories are entertaining, but they are not true You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand what college is really like

Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and socialize more than they study Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library Instead, movies show them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties While it is true that American students have the

freedom to participate in activities, they also have academic responsibilities In order to succeed, they

have to attend classes and study hard

Another movie myth is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity In fact, there is a wide variety of nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, art, and theater programs This variety allows students to choose what interests them Even more important, after graduation,

students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few extracurricular activities

Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education If only this were true! While it is true that

some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate incomes Up to 80% of

them get some type of financial aid Students from middle and lower-income families often work part-time throughout their college years There is one thing that many college students have in common, but it is not something you will see in the movies They have parents who think higher education is a priority, a necessary and important part of their children's lives

Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic, super intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc Movies use these stereotypes, along with other myths of romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these elements Of course, real college students are not like movie characters at all

So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies Look at some

college websites or brochures instead Take a walk around your local college campus Visit a few classes True, you may not be able to see the same people or exciting action you will see in the movies, but you can be sure that there are plenty of academic adventures going on all around you!

When we eat a meal, nutrients are released from food through digestion Digestion begins in the mouth

by the action of chewing and the chemical activity of saliva, a watery fluid that contains enzymes, certain proteins that help break down food Further digestion occurs as food travels through the stomach and the small intestine, where digestive enzymes and acids liquefy food and muscle contractions push it along the digestive tract Nutrients are absorbed from the inside of the small intestine into the bloodstream and carried

to the sites in the body where they are needed At these sites, several chemical reactions occur, which ensures the growth and function of body tissues The parts of foods that are not absorbed continue to move down the intestinal tract and are eliminated from the body as feces
