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 Question 37 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 Question 38 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 (4) 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 Question 39 The word beneficial in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A calm B inviting C thoughtful D favorable Question 40 The word massive can be replaced to A wide B huge C dense D thick Question 41 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 Question 42 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 Question 43 The word “inhospitable” is closest in meaning to A imperfect B uninhabitable C unlikable D cruel Question 44 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 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks Education is more important today than ever before It helps people acquire the skills they need for such everyday (45) as reading a newspaper or managing their money It also gives them the specialized training they may need to (46) for a job or career For example, a person must meet certain educational requirements and obtain a (47) or certificate before he can practice law or medicine Many fields, like computer operation or police work, (48) satisfactory completion of special training courses Education is also important (49) it helps people get more out of life It increases their knowledge and understanding of the world It helps them acquire the skills that make life more interesting and enjoyable, (50) the skills needed to participate in a sport, paint a picture, or play a musical (51) Such education becomes (52) important as people gain more and more leisure time Education also helps people adjust to change This habit has become necessary because social changes today take place with increasing speed and (53) the lives of more and more people Education can help a person understand these changes and provide him (54) the skills for adjusting to them Question 45 A works Question 46 A Question 47 A license Question 48 A requires Question 49 A therefore Question 50 A such as Question 51 A appliance Question 52 A increased Question 53 A effect Question 54 A with B jobs B prepare B card B requiring B despite B for instance B equipment B increasing B affect B for C actions C make C diploma C require C although C such that C instrument C increase C affective C in D activities D work D paper D to require D because D for example D device D increasingly D effective D to (5) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same "facial language" Studies by Ekman's group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative oneswhile many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people's behavior From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people's faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures For example, what emotion you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions Question 55 Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _ A display their emotions openly B conceal their positive emotions C control their emotions D change their behaviour Question 56 The word "evolved" is closest in meaning to _ A increased B reduced C developed D simplified Question 57 The phrase "this evidence" refers to _ A human facial expressions B the fact that children can control their feelings C a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions D the fact that children are good at recognizing others' emotions Question 58 Young children _ A make amazing progress in controlling their emotions B take time to control their facial expressions C are sensitive towards others' emotions D spend a long time learning to read others' emotions Question 59 According to the passage, we respond to others by A watching their actions B observing their looks C observing their emotional expressions D looking at their faces Question 60 The biggest difference lies in _ (6) A how often positive emotions are shown B how emotional responses are controlled C how intensive emotions are expressed D how long negative emotions are displayed Question 61 Smiles and frowns _ A are universal expressions across cultures B are not popular everywhere C not convey the same emotions in various cultures D have different meanings in different cultures Question 62 Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of _ A investigators on universal emotional expressions B researchers on universal language C researchers who can speak and understand many languages D lacked many main ingredients Question 63 The best title for the passage is _ A ways to control emotional expressions B cultural universals in emotional expressions C Human habit of displaying emotions D review of research on emotional expressions Question 64 Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer whether _ A eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar B different cultures have similar emotional expressions C rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar D raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth II PHẦN TỰ LUẬN (2 điểm) Part I: Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it Question 1: The shoes were too small for her to wear → The shoes were not large/ big enough for me to wear Question 2: This motorbike is cheaper than I thought I would be → This motorbike is not as expensive as we thought it would be Question 3: Sue is excited about going to Spain on holiday → Sue is looking forward to going to Spain on holiday Question 4: I can hardly keep my eyes open → Hardly can I keep my eyes open Question 5: I drank such a lot of coffee that I couldn’t get to sleep → I drank so much coffee that I couldn’t get to sleep Part II: Paragraph writing: In about 140 words, write a paragraph to talk about the negative effects of the Internet on the teenagers The following suggestions may help you: - The widespread use of the internet in our modern life - The bad effects of black websites - The invaluable time on web-surfing SAMPLE WRITING It is undeniable that the internet today plays so important part and is so useful to our modern life that many people say they cannot imagine life without it Negatively, the internet, on the other hand, does enormous economical and emotional harm on students First, for those students who are addicted to the on-line life, large amount of time and money is wasted on meeting their demand of chatting, playing video games, or other non-sense on-line activities Some even ruin health, ignore daily routine, forget life-dreams of prosperous future Second, black websites of sex, violence, etc badly affect the young’s thinking, doing and leading their ways to live Moreover, it is strongly believed that bad online pages are of the causes of the increase in teenagers’ committing crime After all, we should control the young’s use of the internet to keep them away from negative effects (146 words) (7)
