Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow
My lawyer, Mr Turner, is the only man I know who has seen a ghost He is a quiet even-tempered man whose life is spent in dealing with facts He is the last person in the world to give way
to fantasy He has a wife and two children of whom he is proud, takes a modest holiday abroad every year and spends his Sundays gardening He is knowledgeable about art and architecture, though he doesn’t pretend to be an expert by any means It is, therefore, all the more surprising that he should be
so insistent about the ghost It happened, so he says, like this:
He was travelling from London to the north of England by train It was a misty November evening and the train was half empty In fact, for the first part of the journey Mr Turner had the carriage to himself and sat dozing over a newspaper However, at the first stop a passenger jumped in, slamming the door behind him He seemed out of his breath as if he had been running He was a striking looking young man with dark, bushy hair and bright intelligent eyes He was dressed rather
Trang 4oddly in a long waistcoat with silver buttons, tight trousers and embroidered waistcoat Mr Turner didn’t pay much attention to this because people wear all sorts of extravagant clothes these days and
he had long grown accustomed to them
Presently, the two men got into conversation, as people do on long journeys Mr Turner was interested to discover that the young man was very knowledgeable about art – in particular portraits His name, he said, was Joseph Hart, and he was on his way to visit an exhibition It seemed that he worked in a famous London Art Gallery – a picture restorer, perhaps, thought Mr Turner, he seemed
to know a great deal about varnishes and paints, and even more about the subjects of certain portraits When Mr Turner asked his opinion of the portrait of a famous judge by an artist he admired, his companion laughed and said: “He’s only a reproduction – a good one I agree but you can’t talk to a reproduction” He spoke as though the person in the portrait were still living
After a while the carriage got hot and steamy and Mr Turner dropped off He woke up just as the train was drawing up at a junction with a grinding of brakes His companion had disappeared
A few days later, having returned to London, Mr Turner found himself near the Art Gallery Moved by some impulse, he went in and inquired for Joseph Hart The attendant directed him to a room devoted to early nineteenth century portraits of well-known men There was no one in the room and Mr Turner looked around him Without knowing quite how he had got there, he found himself standing in front of a full-length portrait of a young dark man in tight trousers and an embroidered waistcoat The eyes smiled at him with a hint of amusement The name-plate at the foot of the picture
read: Joseph Hart, Gentleman, 1800-1835.
57 What kind of person was Mr Turner?
58 Although he was a lawyer, Mr Turner _
A pretended to know a lot about art B knew something about art
C pretended to take interest in art D intended to learn more about art
59 When the passenger entered Mr Turner’s department,
C the train was just training D the carriage was half-empty
60 The passenger’s clothes didn’t seem strange to Mr Turner because
A he was used to wearing strange clothes B he liked people who wore strange clothes
C everyone he knew wore strange clothes D he had seen a lot of people in strange clothes
61 Mr Turner thought the young man might _
C renew old pictures D paint reproductions of old pictures
62 Why wouldn’t the young man give an opinion on the portrait of the judge?
A The judge wasn’t alive B The judge was still alive
C The picture was a copy D He hadn’t seen it
63 When did Mr Turner first realize that the passenger had gone?
A When the train started B After the train had stopped
C Just before the train stopped D When the train was leaving the station
64 Why did Mr Turner go into the Art Gallery?
A He was walking past there B He had never been there before

Trang 566 When Mr Turner looked the portrait of Joseph Hart, _.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions.
There is a common expression in the English language referring to the blue moon When people say something that happens “only once in a blue moon,” they mean that it happens only very rarely, once in a 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 called a blue moon not because it is particularly blue or is any different
in hue 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 its 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 the 28-day 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 Krakatao 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 century later When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, the moon again took on a blue tint.
67 According to paragraph 2, the second full moon is called “the blue moon” because
A it is infrequent B it has a bluish hue
C it appears on unhappy days D it is bluer than the first full moon
68 If one full moon is on the second of May, another one will probably be on
A May 30 th B May 31 st C June 1 st D June 2 nd
69 The word “its” in paragraph 2 refers to “ ”.
A the moon’s B the day’s C the month’s D February’s
70 Which of the following dates can be a blue moon day?
A February 28 th B March 4 th C August 22 nd D November 30 th
71 It can be inferred from the passage that .
A the expression “once in a blue moon” is used only when blue moon appears.
B the blue moon is bigger but darker than the first full moon.
C the occasion of the blue moon happens every four years.
D natural activities on Earth can alter the look of the moon.
72 The phrase “come into existence” in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by “ ”.
A comprised B been created C associated D been overlooked
73 It can be inferred from the passage that .
A polluted air can put a blue coat on the moon
B full moon never occurs in February
C no one can see full moon twice in their life
D full moon happens after a volcanic eruption
74 The word “which” in paragraph 3 refers to “ ”.
Trang 6A the eruption B the Krakatao volcano C the dust particles D the cloud
75 The word “tint” in paragraph 3 mostly means “ ”.
76 The author is trying to .
A explain what the expression “once in a blue moon” means
B define what a blue moon is
C correct people’s false assumption about a blue moon
D predict when a blue moon will happen
