Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more and more people in the world. Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water. We live in a world of water. But almost all of it - about 97%-is in the oceans. This water is too salty to be used for drinking, farming, and manufacturing. Only about 3% of the world's water is fresh. Most of this water is not easily available to man because it is locked in glaciers and icecaps. There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be. Most of the water we use finds its way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the earth as rain. Water is used and reused over again. It is never used up. Although the world as a whole has plenty of fresh water, some regions have a water shortage. Rain does not fall evenly over the earth. Some regions are always too dry, and others too wet. A region that usually gets enough rain may suddenly have a serious dry spell and another region may be flooded with too much rain. 61.

What can be inferred about water? a. The amount of water on earth is always the same. b. Water will probably be exhausted. c. Water can be used once only. d. Most of the water we use is rain water. 64. It can be inferred from the text that ______ a. no region in the world suffers from a lack of fresh water. b. rain does not fall equally everywhere on earth. c. the world has plenty of fresh water in comparison with salty water. d. a region that usually gets enough rain hardly ever has a dry spell. 65.

The writers have to catch and ( 41)……the reader’s attention. They often ( 42)……this with a play on words. You read the words and understand them one way and then suddenly you ( 43)… that another interpretation is possible. Through the ambiguity the advertisement has caught your attention- and the advertiser ( 44)… you’ll buy the product. Under the picture of a new car are the words: “Not another family saloon.” The dual interpretation of that phrase is dependent on how it is pronounced. Misread it by putting the stress on the second word thereby projecting a message the advertiser would clearly not want , and this ( 45)… you look again and pay conscious attention to the alternative message. Advertising copywriters frequently ( 46) … use of idioms. One advertisement showed girls wearing different coloured jeans, but none the traditional blue ones. Underneath were words: “Jeanius is 6 ( 47)… ideas out of the blue.” On level, that ( 48)… the jeans are not ordinary blue jeans but ones in a range of colours. But there is also the suggestion that these new jeans are a sudden piece of inspiration, a stroke of genius. “ Out of the blue” is an idiom which means quite unexpectedly and genius often ( 49)… getting a brilliant idea suddenly. That’s very clever, but it’s not quite the end of it, because it’s not genius they are ( 50)……about, but jeanius. That is another play on words, the product they are selling, after all, is a pair of jeans. 41. a. maintain b. hold c. remain d. pay 42. a. have b. make c. succeed d. do 43. a. aware b. realize c. indicate d. wonder 44. a. hopes b. wishes c. sees d. makes 45. a. tells b. makes c. causes d. forces 46. a. have b. do c. make d. get 47. a. having b. thinking c. making d. arriving 48. a. means b. tells c. seems d. pretends 49. a. compares b. is c. contains d. involves 50. a. talking b. saying c. telling d. meaning Đọc kĩ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng (a, b, c hoặc d) cho mỗi câu: Our eyes and ears might be called transformers because they sense the light and sound around us and turn them into electrical impulses that the brain can interpret. These electrical impulses that have been transformed by the eyes and ears reach the brain and are turned into messages that we can interpret. For the eye, the process begins as the eye admits light waves, bends them at the cornea and lens, and then focuses them on the retina. At the back of each eye, nerve fibers bundle together to form optic nerves, which join and then split into two optic tracts. Some of the fibers cross so that part of the input from the right visual field goes into the left side of the brain, and vice versa. The process in the ear is carried out through sensory cells that are carried in fluid- filled canals and that are extremely sensitive to vibration. Sound that is transformed into electricity travels along nerve fibers in the auditory never. These fibers form a synapse with neurons that carry the messages to the auditory cortex on each side of the brain. 51. According to the author, we might call our eyes and ears “transformers” because: a. They sense light and sound b. The create electrical impulses. c. The brain can interpret the input d.
