Trang 3Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the following questions.
It seems as if every time you turn on the television news, you hear one or the other of the following catchphrases of the 1990s: global warming, greenhouse effect, climate change
As it often is with catchphrases, hardly anyone knows what these phrases really mean or how they relate to each other
In the past 100 years, in our effort to make the Earth a more civilized place, industrial production has increased by fifty times Four fifths of that growth has come since 1950 This production - most of it based on the burning of wood, and of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas - has greatly increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere When fossil fuels are burned, they release carbon into the air in the form of carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide allows heat that would normally escape from the Earth's atmosphere to remain
trapped, as it would in a greenhouse - thus the greenhouse effect.
When do you burn fossil fuels? When you turn on a light, or run an air conditioner, or take a hot shower, or make toast, you contribute to the greenhouse effect It is a by-product
of the use of energy- electricity, gasoline, or oil
But how can carbon dioxide be bad when human beings exhale it every time they breathe? Plants need carbon dioxide; they use it to grow Oceans absorb it And forests drink
it in Without carbon dioxide, the average surface temperature on Earth would be 0 degrees Fahrenheit, instead of 59 degrees Fahrenheit In nature, carbon dioxide is necessary and harmless Here is the problem: in our effort to make the world a more comfortable place, people have produced far too much of it
Scientists have calculated that the atmosphere before the Industrial Revolution contained about 280 parts per million of carbon dioxide - the highest level recorded in the past 160,000 years The current reading is near 360 parts per million In the next 140 years, the carbon dioxide level should reach at least 560 parts per million
We have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the air by 25 percent in the past
century Carbon dioxide is not exclusively responsible for the greenhouse problem, however.
Other greenhouse gases include chlorofluorocarbons, nitrogen oxides and methane
22 The word “trapped” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
Trang 4A escaped B caught C heated D released
23 According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?
A People burn more fossil fuels when they take a hot shower than when they make toast
B Carbon dioxide causes more problems than the other greenhouse gases do
C According to the scientists, the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere has been gradually increasing
D For more than half a century, industrial production has increased by forty times
24 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A We shouldn’t turn on a light, or run an air conditioner, or take a hot shower, or make toast to stop the green house effect
B The carbon dioxide level in the next 140 years will increase at least by two times what it
was before the Industrial Revolution
C We all know clearly about the relationship between global warming, greenhouse effect, and climate change
D Carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, nitrogen oxides and methane are equally responsible for the greenhouse problem
25 The word “ exclusively” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to
26 According to the passage, what does the author imply about the nature of carbon
dioxide?
A Carbon dioxide trapped in the Earth's atmosphere does not cause the greenhouse effect
B Carbon dioxide will not be harmful unless people produce far too much of it
C Carbon dioxide is necessary because it normally helps heat easily escape from the Earth's atmosphere
D Carbon dioxide makes the average surface temperature on Earth rise from 0 degrees Fahrenheit to 59 degrees Fahrenheit
27 The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to .
28 Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?

Mark the word that differs from the other three in the position of primary stress

As dusk approaches at Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport quietens down for the night Night cleaners begin their shifts and passengers waiting for delayed flights curl up on benches in the departure hall One woman, Eram Dar, has found a cosy spot on the floor next
to a vending machine There is nothing to distinguish her from the waiting passengers around her, except that she has no passport and ticket and is in no hurry to leave the terminal For well over a year now, it has been her home and she isn't the only one Eram is one of well over 100 people who live permanently at Heathrow airport
Most people would have difficulty in telling these permanent residents of Heathrow apart
from the thousands of travellers that pass through the terminals each day Wheeling suitcases full of their only belongings, they dress in Hawaiian-style holiday shirts or even business suits in order to give the impression that they are on a business trip or flying to a sunny destination
Eram, a middle-aged ex-law student who became homeless after she could no longer pay her rent, actually considers herself fortunate to live in Heathrow She says, 'I liked it here immediately I have never felt lonely because there are so many people I don't mix much with the other homeless, although they are of all ages and from every walk of life We all recognise each other, but I just like to keep to myself." There are showers in every terminal
Trang 6where Eram can stay clean and presentable She can sometimes help herself to food passing
by the caterers, and while away her time reading magazines and newspapers left behind by passengers
It's difficult not to suspect that Eram is just putting on a brave face It's hard to believe
she’s truly satisfied with this way of life Once a week, she travels to London to pick up a cheque for £60 from a charity "The cash goes nowhere," she says 'Buying food at the airport is expensive I don’t eat anything at breakfast because, if I do, it makes me feel more hungry." Living in Heathrow isn't easy for Eram Besides being awakened by the jangle of coins as a passenger buys something from the machine, loud announcements and bustling
passengers, she has to engage in a full-time cat-and-mouse game with the police and
security staff It's illegal to sleep at Heathrow unless you have a flight to catch, so along with the rest of Heathrow's homeless population, Eram has to wash and change her clothes every morning in order to not stand out from the crowd and be detected If she is, she faces a night
in the cold bus terminal or worse, being thrown out into the rain "The builders who work overnight at the airport are very kind and don't report the homeless to the authorities," she says "The cleaners turn a blind eye too."
Night workers aren't the only ones trying to help this unusual group of people Broadway, a homeless charity, visits the airport weekly to offer the airport's homeless temporary accommodation, help to get travel documents for migrant workers and attempt to reconnect people with their families But, as a Broadway worker points out, "Homelessness is a way of life It can be very difficult to convince people to receive help" Like the passengers escaping
to sunny holiday destinations, many of Heathrow's homeless are also in search of escape from debts, legal problems or family responsibilities
The saddest fact is that unless they are arrested or fall ill, many of Heathrow's homeless will stay there for the foreseeable future "I don't really see a different future," Eram Dar admits 'In fact, I could be living at Heathrow forever."
32: What does the writer focus on in the first paragraph?
A what Eram Dar does at night B what the homeless at Heathrow are like
C what Heathrow airport is like at night D how to spot homeless people at Heathrow
33: The phrase 'cat-and-mouse game' mentioned in line 19 refers to
Trang 7A the fact that Eram is breaking the law
B the fact that the authorities pretend not to see Eram
C the difficulties Eram faces every day to survive
D Eram's struggle to avoid being caught by authorities
34: What does the writer find surprising about Eram?
C her attitude towards her situation D how she became homeless
35: What is meant by ' just putting on a brave face ' in line 15?
A refusing to help yourself B making things sound worse
C pretending to be happy D trying to make others feel sorry for
you
36: Heathrow's homeless have to pay attention to
A their appearance B their speech C their belongings D their behaviour.
37: What is Eram's attitude towards her future?
A She doesn't see her situation changing
B She is hopeful that her life will get better.
C She expects her situation to get worse.
D She doesn't know how to help herself.
