A Biological activity contributes to the formation of lagoons by heating them up and providing a source of food B A lot of life exists in lagoons for two reasons: the low water level and the steady source of new residue C Lagoons become more and more shallow as they heat up and flow into the ocean D The flow of sediments into lagoons causes biological activity, which in turn causes the lagoons to heat up 50 According to the passage, drowned river valleys _ A are land areas with rivers cutting through B are covered with shallow water C are covered with deep water D are covered with ice 51 The phrase “This way” in paragraph refers to A glaciers cutting valleys through mountains B large blocks of crust sinking as a result of tectonic activity C the sea level rising along the mountainous coast D geological processes contributing to rugged topography 52 The passage indicates that all of the following are estuaries with commercial potential as ports of call EXCEPT _ A estuaries formed from tectonic activity B estuaries formed by glaciers B estuaries at the mouths of powerful rivers.D estuaries on flooded coastal plains 53 The author begins paragraph with the phrase “Unlike the flooded coastal plains” in order to A indicate that the discussion is moving from one type of estuary system to the other B clarify the ideas of flooded coastal plains that were previously presented C show that flooded coastal plains and mountainous coasts have some similarities despite their differences D indicate that a thorough discussion of flooded coastal plains follows 54 The word “Intricate” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A delicate B complex C attractive D individual 55 The phrase “not as pervasive as” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A more covered than B as simple as C less common than D not as limited as Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the blanks from 56 to 65 A new VR (virtual reality) headset for the home user will be in the shops soon The makers (56) that it will change the way computer games are played Unlike the heavy VR headsets that people have been using in arcades for the last few years, the new sets look more like a pair of sunglasses than a fireman’s helmet A spokesman for company said “A lot of people had (57) with the old headsets They are (58) heavy that if you more them continuously for more than an hour or so, they could cause quite a lot of (59) _ Our new headsets are very comfortable, and will be perfect for games, as well as in education.” Some scientists, however, are (60) _ about the effects of VR Child, psychologist Brenda Smith explained “There have (61) _ been several cases of violence among young children where computer games were to (62) _ With VR, we will soon have children who are not (63) to playing with other people Spending your life in a constant battle with aliens and monsters is not really a (64) _ environment for someone young We recommend that a child should experience actual reality, not virtual reality, and it would be a great (65) _ for parents to bring sort of technology into the home 56 A claim B recommend C offer D threaten 57 A mistake B faults C errors D problems 58 A very B so C too D such 59 A ache B pain C suffering D hurt 60 A scared B threatened C worried D afraid 61 A already B still C ever D yet 62 A defect B fault C blame D error 63 A used B allowed C interested D made 64 A convenient B real C right D suitable 65 A fault B mistake C defect D blame Read mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 66 to 75 Prehistoric Astronomers Prehistoric people most certainly took note of the recurring patterns of movements in the sky such celestial bodies as the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars, and they most certainly noted that events in their world, such as seasonal fluctuations in weather, which in turn had an effect on the lives of the plants and animals in their world, were often correlated with the movements of the celestial bodies Because it was Question 40 Some underground water is enough safe to drink, but all the surface water must be treated Read the following passage and answer the questions from to 10 Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government train carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a snowstorm and had to be abandoned The driver returned the next spring to see what had become of his cargo Instead of the skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy How had they survived? The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant It grew well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The marketing of chain store products B The business rationale for chain stores C Pricing and distribution in franchises D Brand names imaging of retail outlets The word “outlets” in line is closest in meaning to stock markets / store rooms/ retailers /outfits According to the passage, what does marketing research include? A The actual prices of goods B Consumer segments and behaviour C Multiple channels of distribution D The percentage of gross product cost The word “absorb” in line is closest in meaning to _ absolve / cushion / hide / advertise It can be inferred from the passage that chain stores _ A are more expensive than department stores B can economize by controlling their operating costs C have a greater consumer appeal than the parent company D have power in identifying their market segments Which of the following is not mentioned as a means through which chain stores control their prices? A Reducing distribution costs B Consolidating their finances C Dividing their purchase orders D Marketing a company brand name In line 13 the word “accounts for” is closest in meaning to sees as / counts on / adjusts / represents Why does the author mention legally binding agreements between business? A To show feasible profitability of merchandising B To measure the value of consumer dependence on a product C To point out the means of parent company control D To exemplify the system of franchise operations According to the passage, how chain stores profit by being associated with the parent company? A They are not concerned about market instability B They are not held accountable for a change in profits C They put their needs ahead of those of the parent company D They market consumer brand name recognition 10 It can be inferred from the passage that the parent company probably dictates _ A how goods are advertised B what profit an outlet makes C what sales personnel are employed D how products are packed Read the passage and circle the most suitable answer (A, B, C or D) to fill in each gap Health is something we tend to ignore when we have it When our body is rather well, we're hardly ever (1) of it But illness can come, even (2) we are young In fact, childhood has been a very vulnerable time Many (3) attacked children in particular and people knew very little about how to prevent such illness or how to (4) them once they struck The result was that many children died About century ago, however, scientists found out about germs, and then everything (5) The cause of many diseases (6) known, and cures were developed As this medical knowledge spread the world became (7) safer for children The result is that whereas a hundred years ago the average man lived for 35 years Nowadays, in many places of the world, people can expect to (8) for years And what we except by the years 2010?

A The influence of ice on the diet B The development of refrigeration C The transportation of goods to market D Sources of ice in the nineteenth century Question 44: According to the passage, when did the word "icebox" become part of the language of the United States? A In 1803 B Sometime before 1850 C During the Civil War D 1950s Question 45: The author mentions “fish” in the first paragraph because A many fish dealers also sold ice B fish was shipped in refrigerated freight cars C fish dealers were among the early commercial users of ice D fish was not part of the ordinary person's diet before the invention of the icebox Q46: According to the passage, which of the following was an obstacle to the development of the icebox? A Competition among the owners of refrigerated freight cars B The lack of a network for the distribution of ice C The use of insufficient insulation D Inadequate understanding of physics Question 47: The word "rudimentary" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A undeveloped B growing C necessary D uninteresting Q48: The author describes Thomas Moore as having been "on the right track" to indicate that _ A the road to the market passed close to Moore's farm B Moore was an honest merchant C Moore was a prosperous farmer D Moore's design was fairly successful Question 49: According to the passage, Moore's icebox allowed him to _ A charge more for his butter B travel to market at night C manufacture butter more quickly D produce ice all year round Question 50: The "produce" mentioned in the last paragraph could include _ A iceboxes B butter C ice D markets ĐÁP ÁN 490 tập viết lại câu Sentences transformation 1B You don’t have to finish the work today Sally finally succeeded in getting the job I certainly will never go to that restaurant “You’d better take a holiday” - the doctor said Unless you rest yourself, you really will be ill “You work too hard” - the doctor said to him How beautiful those pictures are What an interesting film!
