In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is big news People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment Recycling means finding was to use products a second time The motto of the recycling

movement is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”

The first step is to reduce garbage In stories, a shopper has to buy products in blisters packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and a bag All that packaging is wasted resources People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and reuse cups and utensils Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones- a loss of more resources and more energy For example, if a customer buys high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to manufacturers To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop

The second step is to reuse Jt is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles After customers empty the bottles, they can return them to the store The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles

The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle Spent motor oil can be cleaned and

used again Aluminum cans are expensive to make It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world’s precious resources

There is a common expression in the English language referring to a blue moon When people say

that something happens “only once in a blue moon,” they mean that it happens only very rarely, once ina great while This expression has been around for at least a century and a half; there are references to this expression that date from the second half of the nineteenth century

The expression “a blue moon” has come to refer to the second full moon occurring in any given calendar month A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it is particularly blue or is any different in Aue from the first full moon of the month Instead, it is called a blue moon because it is so rare The moon needs a little more than 29 days to complete the cycle from full moon to full moon Because every month except February has more than 29 days, every month will have at least one full moon (except February, which will have a full moon unless there is a full moon at the very end of January and another full moon at the very beginning of March) It is on the occasion when a given calendar month has a second full moon that a blue moon occurs This does not happen very often, only three or four times in a decade

The blue moons of today are called blue moons because of their rarity and not because of their color; however, the expression “blue moon” may have come into existence in reference to unusual

circumstances in which the moon actually appeared blue Certain natural phenomena of gigantic

proportions can actually change the appearance of the moon from Earth The eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the atmosphere, which clouded the sun and gave the moon a bluish tint This particular occurrence of the blue moon may have given rise to the expression that we use today Another example occurred more than a century later When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, the moon again took on a blue tint

A a phase of the moon B an unusual color

Œ a month on the calendar D an idiomatic expression Question 44: How long has the expression “once in a blue moon” been around?

A For around 50 years B For less than 100 years

Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability

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

Perhaps it was his own lack of adequate schooling that inspired Horace Mann to work so hard for the important reforms in education that he accomplished While he was still a boy, his father and older brother died, and he became responsible for supporting his family Like most of the children in his town, he attended school only two or three months a year Later, with the help of several teachers, he was able to study law and became a member of the Massachusetts bar, but he never forgot those early struggles

While serving in Massachusetts legislature, he signed a historic education bill that set up a state board of education Without regret, he gave up his successful legal practice and political career to become the first secretary of the board There he exercised an enormous influence during the critical period of reconstruction that brought into existence the American graded elementary school as substitute for the older distinct school system Under his leadership, the curriculum was restructured, the school year was increased to a minimum of six months, and mandatory schooling was extended to age sixteen Other important reforms included the establishment of state normal schools for teacher training, institutes for in- service teacher education, and lyceums for adult education He was also instrument in improving salaries for teachers and creating school libraries

Herbs are different kinds of plants and plant parts that can be used for medicinal purposes This can be the leaves, stems, roots or seeds of the plant Herbs have been important traditional medicine for centuries in both the East and the West In Western medicine, they have been largely replaced by drugs

Trang 14

traditional medicine has increased in the West The main difference between herbs and drugs is that, while herbs are simply parts of the plant, drugs are specific chemicals in a pure form Many modern drugs are derived from chemicals found in plants One example is aspirin, which is made from a chemical extracted from the bark of the willow tree Other drugs are entirely synthetic Even those drugs that are derived from natural sources are heavily processed in order to purify and concentrate them This allows drugs to be administered in very precise amounts Different kinds of degrees and illnesses often require dosages that differ only slightly A little too much or not enough of a certain drug can have negative effects on the patient These undesired negative effects are called "side-effects."The possibility of dangerous and unexpected side-effects from drugs has led many people back to traditional medicine » Herbal treatments seem more natural than modern drugs Many feel that traditional medicine is more concermed with treating the underlying causes of disease instead of just the symptoms, though the truth of this claim is not yet clear There are, however, disadvantages to herbal treatments Few herbal treatments have been scientifically studied Because the active chemicals are not used alone, it is very difficult to determine the proper amount of treatment, since the levels of the chemical in herbs are not constant throughout the plant Therefore, the risk of under - and overdose is higher than with drugs There are even certain herbs that can cause side-effects, just like a drug Garlic and ginger are common elements in food that are also taken as herbal treatments, but they can be dangerous for people with diabetes In general, herbs are most dangerous when they are taken along with common drugs Finally, because production of herbal treatments is seldom regulated, harmful substances can be present in herbal preparations Herbs grown in polluted soil may contain lead, arsenic, or mercury They may also be tainted with pesticides It is for these reasons that herbs should not be treated as the perfect substitute for drugs Although herbs appear to be quite distinct from modern drugs, it is important to use them with the same sort of care Question 43 Aspirin is an example of drugs which is

A pure specific chemicals B completely derived form herbs

B chemicals extracted from herbs _- D; half chemicals and half herbs

Question 44 According to the passage, herbs are most dangerous when

A not taken under a doctor's supervision B the patient refuses modern medicine C the dosage is not administered precisely | D taking in combination with drugs Question 45 Why does the author mention that drugs are heavily processed?

A To show that herbs can not compete with modern medical techniques B Because many mistakes can occur in this processing

C To illustrate that drugs are not natural

D To point out that many countries can not afford to produce drugs

Question 46: What is the main difference between herbs and drugs according to the passage? A Drugs can cause side-effects, whereas herbs do not

B Drugs are at least partially synthetic, whereas herbs are natural C Herbs are dangerous when taken in large amounts; drugs are safer D Herbs can produce a false sense of securities, whereas drugs do not

Question 47 According to the passage, who should not take ginger or garlic as herbal treatments? - A Patients with diabetes B Patients with liver damage

C Patients taking antidepressants .Ð Patients with heart problems Question 48 The author advises using drugs or herbs with the same sort of care because

A both of them have the same effect B both of them may have side-effects C they may have no effect at all D none of them treat diseases well Question 49 Which of the following is closest in meaning to "tainted" in paragraph 6?

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

Fertilizer is any substance that can be added to the soil to provide chemical elements essential for plant nutrition so that the yield can be increased Natural substances such as animal droppings, ashes from wood fires, and straw have been used as fertilizers in fields for thousands of years, and lime has been used since the Romans introduced it during the Empire It was not until the nineteenth century, however, that chemical fertilizers became widely accepted as normal agricultural practice Today, both natural and synthetic fertilizers are available in a variety of forms

A complete fertilizer is usually marked with a formula consisting of three numbers, such as 4-8- 2 or 6-6-4, which designate the percentage of content of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in the order stated Synthetic fertilizers, produced by factories, are available in either solid or liquid form Solids, in the shape of chemical granules, are in demand because they are not only easy to store but also easy to apply Recently, liquids have shown an increase in popularity, accounting for about 20 percent of the nitrogen fertilizers used throughout the world Formerly, powders were also used, but they were found to be less convenient than either solids or liquids

Fertilizers have no harmful effects on the soil, the crop, or the consumers as long as they are used according to recommendations based on the results of local research Occasionally, however, farmers may use more fertilizer than necessary, in which case the plants do not need, and therefore do not absorb, the total amount of fertilizer applied to the soil The surplus of fertilizer thus can damage not only the crop but also the animals or human beings that eat the crop Furthermore, fertilizer that is not used in the production of a healthy plant is leached into the water table Accumulation of chemical fertilizer in the water supply accelerate the growth of algae and, consequently, may disturb the natural cycle of life, contributing to the death of fish Too much fertilizer on grass can cause digestive disorders in cattle and in infants who drink cow’s milk Fertilizer must be used with great attention to responsible use or it can harm the environment

Question 41 With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?

A Local research and harmful effects of fertilizer B Content, form, and effects of fertilizer

C A formula for the production of fertilizer D Advantages and disadvantages of liquid fertilizer Question 42 The word “essential” could best be replaced by which of the following?

A required B preferred C limited D anticipated

Question 43 Which of the following has the smallest percentage content in the formula 4-8-2?

A Acid B Phosphorus C Potash D Nitrogen

Question 44, What is the percentage of nitrogen in a 5-8-7 formula fertilizer?

A 3 percent B 8 percent C 7 percent D 5 percent

Question 45 The word “đes‡ønafe” could be replaced by -.-

In the United States and Canada, it is very important to look a person directly in the eyes when you are having a conversation with him or her If you look down or to the side when the other person is talking, that person will think that you are not interested in what he or she is saying This, of course, is not polite If you look down or to the side when you are talking, you may appear to be hiding something; that is, it might seem that you are not honest However, people who are speaking will someti Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available

Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys

As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations Public parking spots on the street or in

commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while

they stop, dine, or attend a concert To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars

Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today

A vans B trolleys C trains - D planes

A narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles B support the invention of electric cars

X Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contribution of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States Lacking the

right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in

history Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States But little or no notice was taken of these contributions During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books

Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources

During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged National, regional, and local women’s organizations compiled accounts of their doings Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored These sources form the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States — one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College Such sources have provided valuable materials for later

generations of historians

Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of history, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men” To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great mass of ordinary women The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published

43 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The keen sense of history shown by American women

B The “great women” approach to history used by American historians C The place of American women in written histories

D The role of literature in early American histories

44, The word “contemporary” in the passage is closest in meaning to

A temporary B written at that time

C belonging to the present time D past

45 In the first paragraph, Bradstreet, Warren, and Adams are mentioned to show that A a woman’s status was changed by marriage

B poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women C only three women were able to get their writing published

D even the contributions of outstanding women were ignored

46 The word “celebratory” in the passage means that the writings referred to were

A religious B serious C related to parties D full of praise 47 The word “they” in the passage refers to

A authors B efforts C counterparts D sources

48 In the second paragraph, what weakness in nineteenth-century histories does the author point out? A The sources of the information they were based on were not necessarily accurate

B They left out discussion of the influence on money on politics C They were printed on poor quality paper

D They put too much emphasis on daily activities

49 On the basis of information in the third paragraph, which of the following would most likely have been collected by nineteenth-century feminist organizations?

A Newspaper accounts of presidential election results

B Letters from a mother to a daughter advising her how to handle a family problem C Biographies of John Adams

D Books about famous graduates of the country’s first college

50 In the last paragraph, the author mentions all of the following as possible roles of nineteenth-century “great women” EXCEPT
