A The relationship between the ocean and the sun B The amount of sunlight reflected into space C A rise in global temperatures D The conditions that could lead to an ice age Which of the following does the author NOT mention as a consequence of a large rise in global sea level? A The destruction of wetlands B The flooding of cities C A more diverse marine population D Severe storms According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the Earth’s climate? A Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures cause the ice melt B The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too much carbon stored in the Earth’s crust C Rain causes carbon dioxide to be washed out of the atmosphere and into the ocean D An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in the warming of the climate The word beneficial in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to A calm B inviting C thoughtful D favorable The word massive can be replaced to A wide B huge C dense D thick It can be inferred from the passage that the development of agriculture A preceded the development of animal husbandry B withstood vast changes in the Earth’s climate C did not take place during an ice age D was unaffected by the greenhouse effect The word “this” in the third paragraph refers to A man’s upsetting the equation B the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide C a volcanic eruption D the melting of the polar ice caps The word “inhospitable” is closest in meaning to A imperfect B uninhabitable C unlikable D cruel 10 What is the main topic of the passage? A The possibility that the popular ice caps will melt B The coming of another ice age C Man’s effect on the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere D The climate of the Earth over the years Question 2Children between the ages of and 12 are the most common sufferers of sleepwalking, however, (1)………., somnambulism, as it is observed in adults, increases in severity and frequency with age It is reported that more boys sleepwalk than girls and it is between the ages of 11 and 12 that the most number of cases is reported Also, many children tend to grow out of it and because of this, it is surmised (2)………….that may relate to the physiology of the younger body and mind that does not relate to adulthood Sleepwalking also seems to occur with more intensity or frequency in a person (3)……… not remember the incident at all It is also a common misconception that it is dangerous to wake a sleepwalker It is, in fact, more dangerous to not wake a sleepwalker This is due to the actions that can be done by a sleepwalker A person might drive a car, walk out into traffic, try cooking, etc All of these actions are highly dangerous to a person (4)…………what they are doing This disorder can be just a mild annoyance to some but can also be a life-altering disorder to others Sleepwalking is more serious than aggressive so the danger lies more with self-injury than injuries to others Sleepwalkers are not allowed in the Armed Services at least partly due to the damage they can cause themselves and also partly to the fact (5)……………… Treatments can range from relaxation techniques to anti-depressant medications A that there are other sources for sleepwalking B who is sleep-deprived and a sleepwalker often will C that advise women to exercise for a good night’s sleeps D while pre-adolescents make up the larger number E who want to have an early night sleep F that they are around dangerous equipment G who is asleep and unaware of Question A Research holds the key to success B New and improved techniques C A new kind of athlete E Athletes are what they eat D New equipment has made a difference F Personalized programs will help G The influence of drugs H Is there a limit to record-breaking? [0: _H ] A world record is every athlete’s dream, but the hard-won records of a few years ago are mostly just today’s qualifying times Roger Bannister’s famous four-minute mile of 1956 has been beaten by nearly 15 seconds, while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women’s marathon since 1953 ‘Faster, higher, stronger’ is the Olympic motto, and today’s competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve But one wonders if this can continue [1: ] The last forty years have seen many important technological advances For example, since the introduction of strong, flexible fiberglass poles, over a meter has been added to the pole vault record There have also been important developments in the design the running shoe And while a shoe won’t actually make someone run faster, modern shoes mean many more miles of comfortable, injury-free training [2: ] Pushing back the limits now depends more on science, technology and medicine than anything else Athletic technique, training programs and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more cm to that elusive world record It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough [3: ] The search to find more efficient ways of moving goes on Analysis of an athlete’s style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing Studies show that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach, as once thought, but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off However, the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved by new styles For instance only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump [4: ] In the future, it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programs Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes overtraining, the cause of many injuries If athletes fee all the information into a database, it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut down [5: ] Combining the right diet with a training program is vital Athletes are continually searching for that special ‘go-faster’ ingredient, but apparently it’s still a battle to get them to drink sufficient liquid and to follow a balanced healthy diet throughout all phases of training, competition and recovery Diet in the period after an event is particularly important and often neglected An athlete who doesn’t replace all the liquid lost immediately after a hard run won’t be able to repeat the performance at the same level 24 hours later Question 4For over two hundred years, scholars have shown an interest in the way children learn to speak and understand their language Several small-scale studies were carried out, especially towards the end of the nineteenth century, (1) _ data recorded in parental diaries But detailed, systematic

https://123doc.org/document/388807-phrasal-verbs.htm https://123doc.org/document/1727699-phrasal-verbs-list-doc.htm I was born and raised in Hanoi and have been here for 27 years I have watched the city develop from a small town and grow into a modern metropolitan area in the new era With the skyrocketing population of recent years, the city’s environment has become significantly polluted As a result,I think environmental laws should be enacted immediately to solve this problem.First of all, Hanoi’s mayor should consider putting more trash bins out in the streets so that people won’t throw rubbish anywhere anytime In addition, the city police should heavily fine those who are caught littering the streets By doing so, not only could we save a lot of money on cleaning costs but we could also improve the surrounding public scenery.Secondly, the city should run a campaign to educate people on how to classify and separate garbage before throwing it out This is necessary because unsorted garbage contributes to the pollution of underground water and the earth In my opinion, although these above actions are minor, they would contribute to diminishing the impacts of pollution in our local area if they were done on a collective level VOCABULARY  born and raised in: to describe that you were born in a certain place and that you grew up there with your parents; “He was born and raised in New York but moved to California when he was 35.”  skyrocketing: increasing, to describe when something goes up rapidly by a lot; “The skyrocketing airline prices have hurt the tourist towns, as fewer people are traveling.”  significantly: in a sufficiently great or important way as to be worthy of attention, “Our profit was significantly less this month than we had predicted.”  enacted: to put a law into place; “New laws have been enacted to keep people safe from gun violence.”  rubbish: trash, garbage waste; “There is too much rubbish in this yard Let’s clean it up!”  heavily fine: to fine someone heavily means to charge them a lot of money because they have violated a law or regulation; “The companies were heavily fined for polluting the river.”  littering: throwing trash on the ground rather than putting it in the bin; “Littering is against the law and you can be fined $1000.”  scenery: what you see in the natural environment; a beautiful scenery usually includes beautiful nature scenes, but ugly scenery would have trash and pollution; “The scenery in the Turkish countryside is beautiful.”  run a campaign: to organize and work on a program to reach a goal, such as a campaign to educate people about pollution or teenage pregnancy or alcohol abuse; “He is in charge of running the campaign to save dogs in our rural areas.”  to classify and separate: in the context of recycling, to classify means to figure out what bin each item belongs in, such as glass, plastic, paper and then to put them into the appropriate bins; “He is lazy and doesn’t like to classify and separate his garbage.”  to throw something out: to get rid of something; to put it in the trash; “My mother threw out all my boyfriend’s old letters.”  unsorted: not separated; “The shirts were unsorted, so all the colors were mixed together and it made it hard to find all the red ones.”  minor: small or insignificant; “We had a minor accident in our car today.”  diminishing: going down, lessening; “The pain has been diminishing since I took the aspirin.”  impacts of: the effects of something on something else; “The impact of the storm has yet to be fully understood.”  collective level: a collective is a group of people, so in this context if you are working at a collective level, it means that people are working together to solve a problem; “This problem will only be solved if we work at it on a collective level, not an individual level.” file:///C:/Users/Administrator/Downloads/IELTS-SPEAKING-BY-NGOC-BACH-VER-6.4%20(2).pdf
