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.

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

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get as education.
Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction
between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended
and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place where, whether in the
shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes
place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a
reserved grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.
Whereas schooling has certain predictability, education quite often produce surprise. A change
conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is know of other religions.
People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It
is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school and one that should be an integral
part of one’s entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general
pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at
approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbook, do
homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learnt, whether they are the alphabet or
an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject
being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their class the
truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.
There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
Question 76: What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their
education to go to school”? A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.
B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.
C. Summer school makes the school year too long. D. All of life is an education.
Question 77: the word “bounds” is closest in meaning to____.
A. rules B. experiences C. limits D. expectation
Question 78: the word “they” refers to
A. slices of reality B. similar textbooks C. boundaries D. seats
Question 79: The passage supports which of the following conclusions?

A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant B. Education systems need to be radically
reformed.
C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.

Question 80: The passage is organized by_____.
A. listing and discussing several educational problems B. contrasting the meanings of two related
words

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer
to each of the questions.
The development of advanced radio telescopes has allowed astronomers to attempt to answer a
question that has long intrigued scientists, philosophers, and laypersons alike: Do other forms of intelligent
life exist elsewhere in the universe? Although the legends of many ancient cultures hold that divine beings
created the heavens and controlled such cosmic events as eclipses, the idea that other planets harbor life
similar in development and intelligence to our own did not become popular until the nineteenth century,
when a few scientists considered ways in which earthlings might contact other beings. One plan envisioned
the building of huge canals in the desert in the shape of easily recognizable geometric symbols; when filled
with gasoline and ignited, the canals would signal the presence of life on Earth to neighboring worlds. Since
then, many astronomers have become seriously interested in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or
SETI. They assume that alien beings elsewhere in the galaxy will probably try to contact earthlings, using
flashes of light to carry their messages. In 1960 one astronomer performed one of the first serious searches
for extraterrestrial life, called Project Ozma. The astronomer turned a sensitive radio telescope in the
direction of nearby stars Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani but found no transmissions that might be beacons
from extraterrestrial civilizations. Since Project Ozma, about four dozen other searches have been
conducted. No one has yet received an unambiguous signal from an extraterrestrial civilization, and
numerous false alarms have been caused by interference from radio-wave sources here on Earth.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, has also been involved in SETI and sought
funding from the United States Congress to build a complete receiver and to undertake a ten-year search
program. One half of this search plan calls for using radio telescopes in its Deep-Space Network to
repeatedly scan the entire sky. The other half involves using its 1,000-foot telescope to listen to nearby stars
similar to the Sun that may have Earthlike planets orbiting around them. Although scientists realize their
survey will be far from complete, they believe the search must begin with small efforts. Said one scientist:
"We're new at this business, and when you walk into a dark, unfamiliar forest, you should probably listen
before you shout."
Question 36 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Planets harboring extraterrestrial life B. Types of extraterrestrial civilizations

C. Developments in NASA's Deep-Space Network D. The search for extraterrestrial


intelligence

Question 37 The word envisioned in the passage is closest in meaning to_____.

century?

C. Intelligent life might inhabit other planets. D. Eclipses were caused by alien beings.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer

The word robot first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a man makes a
machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In the 1940s, the
American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the term
robotics, the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were developed by an engineer,
Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they started Unimation, a
manufacturing company that produces the first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate. Robots of this type
were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success. They worked reliably and
saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well.
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction
films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply pieces of computer-
controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands”. Since they were made of metal, they could perform
certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat. And since
robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be
tiring or boring for humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in
many factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the same time
other jobs have been created in the design, development, and production of the robots.
[1]  Outside of industry, robots have also been developed and put to use by governments and scientists in
situations where humans might be in danger. For example, they can be sent in to investigate an unexploded
bomb or an accident at a nuclear power plant. [2] In space exploration, robots have performed many key
tasks where humans could not be present, such as on the surface of Mars. [3] In 2004, two robotic Rovers-
small six-wheeled computerized cars were sent to Mars. [4]
Question 46 When did the word “robot” appear?

A. in the 1920s B. in the 40s C. in the 60s D. in the 19th ce

Question 47 What can be said about Karel Capek?

A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago
and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes. The first fact is that
burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This is
much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if
it is worth the bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid
leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a
radio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or
computer is enough to tempt any burglar.

Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the
doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the intruder.
It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area
be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from approaching your house by
fitting security lights to the outside of your house.
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has
decided to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs
windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the
drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter
how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get
through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.
What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should
have top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a
burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defense against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the
trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and,
particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure. When
you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask
to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an
intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to telephone the police and
wait for help.

A. is predictable. B. is useful.
C. is imaginative. D. is where you always find a spare key.

A. isolated B. populous C. dissatisfying D. depressing

A. will tell a burglar if your house is empty or not. C. will stop a potential burglar.
B. are the most important precautions to take to make your home safe.
D. will not stop an intruder if he has decided to try and enter your home.

Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
how they should go about setting up their own website. I’ve been asked about so many subjects -- anything
from someone wanting to teach people how to throw boomerangs to another people selling paper flowers
which they make at home in their spare time.
Obviously with all the thousands of websites available at the click of a button, you want to create an
impression with your website so that it becomes a must-see destination. Not everyone is prepared, however,
for the way in which a website can become so popular that it actually has to be closed down.
When people first set up their websites they probably pay their web advertiser a monthly fee based
on the number of hits or page impressions their site receives. If they can pay their monthly fee without it
costing them too much, that is the best that most people hope for. One guy, Pete Bennett, whom I helped,
wanted to set up a one-stop shop to provide decent images of the world’s flags. He’d been fascinated by
flags since his boyhood and had no idea that thousands of other people share his passion. Anyway, in one
month his web page had over 1.5 million hits. As a result his internet provider trebled the fee that he was
being charged. He wasn’t a rich person and he couldn’t afford to spend that amount of money on a hobby
without any benefit to him, so he decided to carry advertising on his site. He found a company which
specializes in smaller sites and adverts were added to the pages on his website. So, although he doesn’t
make a huge profit, at least his hobby provides him with a small income.
If you have specialist skills or expertise, it can pay you to sell the products that people want. I
helped one woman design a page to advertise the fact that she tells fortunes, based on the information that
her clients supply her with. If you want her to tell your fortune, you fill in a questionnaire online -- your age,
date of birth, hobbies, interests and so on and for a small fee she e-mails you back your fortune. You can
print it out and it looks really good, decorated with moons and stars, your zodiac sign and your birthstone. I
tried it myself and although I’m not sure I believe it, my future according to her is positive and exciting. I
also found out that for someone born in August, like me, the birthstone is a peridot, a pale green stone
which I’d never even heard of!
I also get a fair number of complaints from people e-mailing me to say that they can’t access the
website. When they click on the site a message appears on their screen saying ‘An error has occurred in the
script on this page’. This usually happens when someone has tried to achieve fancy effects on their website
by using programming techniques based on a scripting language. This means that unless they really know
what they are doing, whoever designed the site has probably made a mistake in their programming. This is
where people like me come in. Most computer instruction guides make things appear quite straightforward,
but unless you’re very skilled, you’re likely to run into problems. It’s generally worth getting a professional
to help you set up your site in the first place -- otherwise people like me would be out of work. And let’s
face it, this is big business.

Thời gian làm bài: 90 phút

Reading 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 questions from 1 to 10:
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frame of an object, each slightly
different than the proceeding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw
the different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer
will produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-
assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequences of
pictures. These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that defines the objects in the pictures
as they exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information.
Highly trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees
of realism involves computer techniques from three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures.
High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special
color terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a
single frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen.
A camera can be used to film directly from the computer’s display screen, but for the highest quality
images possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computers the positions and colors for the
figures in the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes,
however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process
is completed, it is replaced for the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the
film must be developed before the animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the
motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive
and time- consuming. Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-
generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution,
realistic-looking images.

Reading 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 question 71 to 80:
Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future
ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are
cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing.
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions
entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior:
Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The
orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun’s position in the sky, and the
speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to
perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when
experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from
the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When
the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food.
No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have
inferred the location of the new site.
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter
who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as
rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how
to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing
chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips.
Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher
total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label
quantities of items and do simple sums.
Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Observations that suggest consciousness in
animal behavior.
B. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. C. The role of instinct in animal behavior.
D. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory
experiments.
Question 72: Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?
A. Communicating emotions B. Remembering past experiences
C. Selecting among choices D. Anticipating events to come
Question 73: What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site?
A. To determine the quality of food at a site B. To increase the speed of travel to food sources
C. To identify the type of nectar that is available D. To communicate the location of food
Question 74: The word “yet” is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. however B. generally C. since D. so far
Question 75: What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2?
A. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought.
B. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food.
C. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity.

When something terrible happens, such as an earthquake or a flood, people need help. At these times, they
work together in groups. On January 17, 1995, a powerful earthquake hit the city of Kobe, Japan. Many
buildings burned or collapsed. Part of an expressway fell over. Train lines were damaged, and supplies of
electricity, gas, and water were cut off. Soon after the earthquake was over, people in Kobe began working
together to save their city. Neighbors pull each other out of collapsed buildings. Ordinary people put out
fires even before the fire trucks arrived. Volunteers in Kobe organized themselves into teams. They worked
out a system to send help to where it was needed. Some people brought food, water, clothes, and electric
generators to different parts of the city. Other teams search for belongings in damaged stores and homes.
Some volunteers took care of children who had lost their parents. Teams of volunteers from outside Japan
helped, too. A rescue team with search dogs came from Switzerland. A group of doctors, called Doctors
Without Borders, came from all over the world. A group called the International Rescue Corps also sent its
members to help. Today, Kobe has been rebuilt. But people there still remember the outpouring of support
they received from all over the world back in 1995.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the
dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350,
after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of
1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as
far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to
spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and
missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of
the world. As these communities grew, English gradually became the primary language of international
business, banking, and diplomacy.
Currently, more than 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in
English. Two-thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of
technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than
700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are non-native speakers, constituting the
largest number of non-native users of any language in the world.
76. Approximately when did English begin to be used beyond England?
A. in 1066 B. around 1350 C. before 1600 D. after
1600
77. According to the passage, what of the following did NOT contribute to the spread of English around the
world?
A. the slave trade B. the Norman invasion C. missionaries D.
colonization
78. Which of the following is true?
A. English became a world language around 1350.
B. Less than half of information stored on computer systems in the world is now in English.
C. English borrowed a lot from French. D. Currently English is not spoken in Wales, Scotland, or
Ireland.
79. According to the passage, approximately how many non-native users of English are there in the world
today?
A. a quarter million B. half a million C. 350 million D. 700
million
80. What is the main topic of this passage?
A. the number of non-native users of English B. the French influence on the English
language
C. the expansion of English as an international language D. the use of English for science and
technology

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 from 56 to 60.
Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For
employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the
location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when
the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant site and transmit the material
to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million
telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant
as predicted when Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago.
Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many
managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across
the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager's responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the
opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that
they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting.
Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get
away from the office.
Question 56: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters EXCEPT_____ .
A. the lack of interaction with a group B. the different system of supervision
C. the fact that the work space is in the home D. the opportunities for advancement

A. the manager of a group of telecommuters B. a reporter C. a telecommuter D. a statistician

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 from 61 to 70.
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also
contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk, in fact,
contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused
egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several
alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not
really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having
low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they
are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg,
sometimes called 'designer' eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of
ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs
that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that
eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back
up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have
brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but
the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than
other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood
cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it
seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol
level.
Question 61: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.
Question 62: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals B. cholesterol C. canola oil D. vitamins
Question 63: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?
A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot
Question 64: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. increasing price B. decreased production C. dietary changes in hens D. concerns about
cholesterol
Question 65: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested
daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol? A. 3/4 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D. 1/3
Question 66: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. studied B. destroyed C. tested D. described
Question 67: What is the meaning of 'back up'?
A. reverse B. advance C. block D. support
Question 68: What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'?
A. The results are blended. B. The results are a composite of things.
C. The results are inconclusive. D. The results are mingled together.

The advent of the Internet may be one of the most important technological developments in recent years. Nev
before have so many people had access to so many different sources of information. For all of the Interne
advantages, however, people are currently becoming aware of some of its drawbacks and are looking for creati
solutions. Among the current problems, which include a general lack of reliability and numerous security concer
the most crucial is speed.
First of all, the Internet has grown very quickly. In 1990, only a few academics had ever heard of the Intern
In 1996, over 50 million people used it. Every year, the number of people with access to the Internet doubles. T
rapid growth has been a problem. The computer systems which run the Internet have not been able to keep up with t
demand. Also, sometimes, a request for information must pass through many routing computers before t
information can be obtained. A request for information made in Paris might have to go through computers in N
York, Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to obtain the required information. Consequently, the service is often slow a
unpredictable. Service also tends to be worse when the Internet is busiest - during the business day of the Weste
Hemisphere - which is also when companies need its service the most.

Some people are trying to harness the power of networked computers in such a way as to avoid this proble
In 1995, a group of American universities banded together to form what has come to be known as Internet II. Intern
II is a smaller, more specialized system intended for academic use. Since it is more specialized, fewer users a
allowed access. Consequently, the time required to receive information has decreased.
Businesses are beginning to explore a possible analogue to the Internet II. Many businesses are creating th
own “Intranets”. These are systems that can only be used by the members of the same company. In theory, few
users should translate into a faster system. Intranets are very useful for large national and international compan
whose branches need to share information. Another benefit of an Intranet is an increased amount of security. Sin
only company employees have access to the information on the Intranet, their information is protected fro
competitors. While there is little doubt that the Internet will eventually be a fast and reliable service, industry and t
academic community have taken their own steps toward making more practical global networks.
Question 56: According to the passage, which of the following is not true of the Internet?
A. It tends to be unreliable. B. It has created a sense of financial security.
C. It is too expensive to access. D. It has become increasingly less popular.
Question 57: According to the passage, which of the following statements was true in 1990?
A. The Internet was a secure means to gain information. B. The Internet experienced enormous
growth rates.
C. Internet data proved to be impractical. D. Few people were using the Internet.
Question 58: According to the author, what is one reason why the Internet is sometimes slow?
A. Phone lines are often too busy with phone calls and fax transmissions to handle Internet traffic.
B. Most people do not have computers that are fast enough to take advantage of the Internet.
C. Often a request must travel through many computers before it reaches its final destination.
D. Scientists take up too much time on the Internet , thus slowing it down for everyone else.
Question 59: The word “obtained” in line 10 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. understood B. acquired C. purchased D. distributed
Question 60: The word “harness” in line 15 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. utilize B. disguise C. steal D. block
Question 61: According to the passage, what benefits does Internet II have over the Internet I?
A. There is no governmental intervention regulating Internet II.
B. Small businesses pay higher premiums to access to the Internet.
C. Internet II contains more information than the Internet.
D. Internet II has fewer users and therefore is faster to access.
Question 62: The word “analogue” in line 20 most nearly means__________.
A. similarity B. alternative C. use D. solution
Question 63: The word “their” in line 25 refers to __________.
A. competitors B. company employees C. Intranets D. companies
Question 64: With which of the following conclusions would the author probably agree?

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 questions from 66 to 75.
History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or
talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in
1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small
band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound
that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called "synchronized sound" – began soon
after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing
and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and

Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could
become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector
changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read
by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing
synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually
brought us "talking pictures".
Question 66: The passage is mainly about the ______________.
A. research into sound reproduction. B. development of sound with movies.

Question 67: According to the passage, films using sound effects were screened ___________.
A. as early as 1922 B. in 1927 C. before 1896 D. as early as 1896

A. projections B. revelations C. demonstrations D. diversions
Question 69: Which of the following is not mentioned as a producer of sound to accompany movies?
A. a Jazz Singer B. a single pianist C. a gramophone D. a small band
Question 70: It can be inferred that ___. A. sound-effect machines were not common because they were
expensive
B. gramophones were developed about the same time as moving pictures.
C. most movie theaters had a pianist D. orchestras couldn't synchronize sound with the pictures
Question 71: According to the passage, gramophones were ineffective because they _______________.
A. were newly invented and still had imperfections. B. changed speeds when the needle jumped.
C. were too large for most movie theaters. D. got out of synchronization with the picture.
Question 72: The word "sequence" is closest in meaning to __________
A. distribution B. organization C. interpretation D. progression
Question 73: The phrase "these signals" refers to _______.
A. sounds B. marks C. series D. sensors
Question 74: According to the passage, sound-on-film guaranteed synchronization because the recording
was ________.

Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else that is
included in one’s possessions. Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals with
intangible forms of property. Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works, for
example, books, magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows, software, paintings, photographs,
music, choreography in dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property.
Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes the
ownership of the creator. When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual as a
tangible object. However, the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing that went
into creating the articles. The right to make and sell or give away copies of books or articles belongs to the
authors, publishers, or other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright. To copy an entire book or
a part of it, permission must be received from the copyright owner, who will most likely expect to be paid.
Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property. Music may be played by
anyone after it is published. However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee, called a
royalty. A similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays. On the other hand, names, ideas,
and book titles are excepted. Ideas do not become copyrighted property until they are published in a book, a
painting or a musical work. Almost all artistic work created before the 20 th century is not copyrighted
because it was created before the copyright law was passed.
The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy. Plagiarizing the
work of another person means passing it off as one’s own. The word plagiarism is derived from the Latin
plagiarus, which means “abductor”. Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is a joint
effort of several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying royalties to
the creator. Technological innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate a motion picture on
videotape, a computer program, or a book. Video cassette recorders can be used by practically anyone to
copy movies and television programs, and copying software has become almost as easy as copying a book.
Large companies zealously monitor their copyrights for slogans, advertisements, and brand names,
protected by a trademark.

answer to each of the questions from 54 to 63.
Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly
cherished goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group
organization and attitudes.
In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group contains nearly all
of each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member. There is an
interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation
itself is valued.
While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of pre-literature societies, secondary cooperation
is characteristic of many modern societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their
lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare
of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits
of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic
teams are examples of secondary cooperation.
In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work.
The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is loose and fragile.
Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks down when the common
means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and
hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.

Collecting maps can be an enjoyable hobby for antiquarian booksellers, a captivating interest for
cartographers, a lucrative vocation for astute dealers, and an inspirational part of the occupational
functioning of map catalogers, archivists, and historians. Among recognized collectibles, maps are relatively
rarer than stamps, but they have had their avid enthusiasts and admirers ever since copies were made by
hand only for affluent, the commanding officer, and the ship captain.
Whether the interest is business-related or amateur, the economic means abundant or slim, a collection
needs a theme, be it associated with contemporary changes in cartographic representation or geographic
knowledge, or a more accessible goal centered on a particular mapmaker, technique, or type of subject
matter. Collectors should not overlook topical maps issued predominantly or exclusively after World War
II, such as navigational charts, industrial compound road layouts, or aerial projections. Potential collectors
ought not to disregard two superficially prosaic, yet important themes: maps of travel routes for family
trips, and maps that, for aesthetic reasons, they personally find intriguing or simply attractive. In the first
case, like the box with old family photos, the collection will give the travelers the opportunity to reminisce
and relive the journey.
In most cases, photocopies are worthy alternatives to originals. For example, historical society
collections customarily include the high quality facsimiles needed to make a collection as comprehensive
and practical as possible, supplementing the contributions made by well-to-do donors and benefactors. If not
predisposed to wait patiently, and possibly ineffectually, for a lucky find, collectors may choose to sift
through dealer stock, peruse through advertisements in local, regional, or national periodicals, and solicit the
assistance of the U.S. Library of Congress and private agencies. Government and public agencies,
companies, and trade associations can advise the collector about maps currently in circulation and pending
sales of dated reproductions, editions, and prints.
Question 41. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Why hobbyists always flaunt their map

The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the
planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than
2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other encyclopedias,
however, Wikepedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are not paid and their
names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge.
Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human
knowledge. The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education”. Real
popularity for encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the
publication of encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same
amount of information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to
create an online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However, even
Internet-based encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild
of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these. In 2001, he had the idea for an
Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore,
that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time.
But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the
articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long
time to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone
would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To
do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users
to create or alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can
simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an
article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it. This process
goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes.

The Native American peoples of the north Pacific Coast created a highly complex maritime culture as
they invented modes of production unique to their special environment. In addition to their sophisticated
technical culture, they also attained one of the most complex social organizations of any nonagricultural
people in the world.
In a division of labor similar to that of the hunting peoples in the interior and among foraging peoples
throughout the world, the men did most of the fishing, and the women processed the catch. Women also
specialized in the gathering of the abundant shellfish that lived closer to shore. They collected oysters,
crabs, sea urchins, mussels, abalone, and clams, which they could gather while remaining close to their
children. The maritime life harvested by the women not only provided food, but also supplied more of the
raw materials for making tools than did fish gathered by the men. Of particular importance for the native
tool than did the fish gathered by the men. Of particular made from the larger mussel shells, and a variety of
cutting edges that could be made from other marine shells.
The women used their tools to process all of the fish and marine mammals brought in by the men. They
cleaned the fish, and dried vast quantities of them for the winter. They sun-dried fish when practical, but in
the rainy climate of the coastal area they also used smokehouses to preserve tons of fish and other seafood
annually. Each product had its own peculiar characteristics that demanded a particular way of cutting or

drying the meat, and each task required its own cutting blades and other utensils.

Read the following newspaper article about an expedition and answer questions 45 – 50.
There are very few big adventures left and very few heroes. Children's stories used to specialize
in them – courageous explorers with sun-burnt, leathery skin and eyes narrowed by straining to see into
far horizons on their journeys into the unknown. These days you no longer find such people in
fiction, let alone in real life. Or so I thought until I met Charles Blackmore. Blakemore’s great
adventure consisted of leading an expedition across one of the last unexplored places on earth, the
Taklamakan Desert in western China. Its name means `once entered you never come out', but local
people call it the Desert of Death. He recalled the dangers and exhilaration of that amazing trek, in the
calm atmosphere of his family home.
The team he led was composed of four Britons (one of them the party' s medical officer), an
American photographer, four Chinese (all experts on the area), 30 camels and six camel handlers. It later
turned out that the camel handlers had never worked with camels before, but were long-distance
lorry drivers: a misunderstanding that could have cost everyone their lives and certainly jeopardized the
expedition's success. This mixed bunch set out to cross 1,200 kilometres of the world's least hospitable
desert and Charles Blackmore has written a mesmerizing account of their journey.
At the time, he was about to leave the Army after 14 happy years. He launched the
expedition for fun, to fill a gap in his life, to prove something. `I had always assumed I'd spend
my whole life in the Army. I had been offered promotion but suddenly I felt I wanted to see who Charles
Blackmore really was, outside all that. It was a tremendous gamble. Tina, my wife, was very worried that
I wouldn't come back as nobody had ever done that route; we went into it blind. In the event, it took
59 days to cross from west to east, and the desert was very kind to us.'
Anyone reading his extraordinary account of that crossing will wonder at the use of the word `kind'.
The team suffered unspeakable hardships: dysentery; extremes of temperature; severe thirst and
dehydration; the loss of part of their precious water supply. `But', Blackmore explains, `when we were at the
limits of our own endurance and the camels had gone without water for seven days, we managed to find
some. We didn't experience the Taklamakan's legendary sandstorms. And we never hit the raw, biting
desert cold that would have totally immobilized us. That's not to say that we weren't fighting
against hurdles the whole time. The fine sand got into everything, especially blisters and wounds. The high
dunes were torture to climb, for us and for the heavily laden camels, which often rolled over onto us. `What
drove me on more than anything else was the need to survive. We had no contingency plan. Neither
our budget nor time allowed one. No aircraft ever flew over us.
Once we got into the sandhills we were completely on our own. `I knew I had the mental stamina for
the trip but I was very scared of my physical ability to do it. I remember day one — we sat at the edge of the
desert and it was such an inferno that you couldn't breathe. I thought, "We've got to do it now!" At that
moment I was a very scared man.'
If it was like that at the beginning, how did they feel towards the end? `When you've
walked for 1,000 kilometres you're not going to duck out. You've endured so much; you've got so
much behind you. We were very thin, but very muscular and sinewy despite our physical
exhaustion. My body was well-toned and my legs were like pistons. I could walk over anything.'
Midway through the book, Blackmore went on to describe lying in the desert gazing up at a full
54

Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
moon, thinking of his family. How conscious was he of the ordeal it must have been for them? Inside me
there's someone trying to find peace with himself. When I have doubts about myself now, I go back to
the image of the desert and think, well, we managed to pull that together. As a personal achievement, I
feel prouder of that expedition than of anything else I've done. Yet in terms of a lifetime's
achievement, I think of my family and the happiness we share — against that yardstick, the desert
does not measure up, does not compare.'
Has Charles Blackmore found peace? `I yearn for the challenge — for the open spaces — the resolve
of it all. We were buoyed up by the sense of purpose. I find it difficult now to be part of the uniformity of
modem life.'
Question 56 Meeting Charles Blackmore changed the writer’s opinion about____.

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 questions from 51 to 60.
Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds. When this short amount of time
elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there in the first
place? Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area.
The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also
known as the working memory.
There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The most accepted
theory comes from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember
approximately seven chunks of information. A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as
a word or name rather than just a letter or number. Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the
capacity of the short term memory by chunking, or classifying similar information together. By organizing
information, one can optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term
storage.
When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many
people engage in "rote rehearsal". By repeating something over and over again, one is able to keep a
memory alive. Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions.
As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear. When a pen and
paper are not handy, people often attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell
rings or the dog barks to come in before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely
forget the number instantly. Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the
short term to long term memory. A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal". This involves assigning
semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term
memories.
Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can be
done by recognition or recall. Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in
the long term memory and used often; however, if a memory seems to be
forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting. The more cues a person is
given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved. This is why multiple choice tests are
often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization.
Question 51. According to the passage, how do memories get transferred to the STM?
A. They revert from the long term memory. B. They are filtered from

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 questions from 61 to 70.
The lack of printing regulations and the unenforceability of British copyright law in the American
colonies made it possible for colonial printers occasionally to act as publishers. Although they rarely
undertook major publishing project because it was difficult to sell books as cheaply as they could be
imported from Europe, printers in Philadelphia did publish work that required only small amounts of
capital, paper, and type. Broadsides could be published with minimal financial risk. Consisting of only one
sheet of paper and requiring small amounts of type, broadsides involved lower investments of capital than
longer works. Furthermore, the broadside format lent itself to subjects of high, if temporary, interest,
enabling them to meet with ready sale. If the broadside printer miscalculated, however, and produced a
sheet that did not sell, it was not likely to be a major loss, and the printer would know this immediately.
There would be no agonizing wait with large amounts of capital tied up, books gathering dust on the
shelves, and creditors impatient for payment.
In addition to broadsides, books and pamphlets, consisting mainly of political tracts, catechisms,
primers, and chapbooks were relatively inexpensive to print and to buy. Chapbook were pamphlet-sized
books, usually containing popular tales, ballads, poems, short plays, and jokes, small, both in formal and
number of pages, they were generally bound simply, in boards (a form of cardboard) or merely stitched in
paper wrappers (a sewn antecedent of modern-day paperbacks). Pamphlets and chapbooks did not require
fine paper or a great deal of type to produce they could thus be printed in large, cost-effective editions and
sold cheaply.
By far, the most appealing publishing investments were to be found in small books that had proven to
be steady sellers, providing a reasonably reliable source of income for the publisher. They would not, by
nature, be highly topical or political, as such publications would prove of fleeting interest. Almanacs,

annual publications that contained information on astronomy and weather patterns arranged according to the

B. There was inadequate shipping available in the colonies.
C. Colonial printers could not sell their work for a competitive price.
D. Colonial printers did not have the skills necessary to undertake large publishing projects.

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 questions.
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to
the environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling
movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that
are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils đồ dùng, dụng cụ. Another way to reduce waste is to buy
high-quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance
that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer
chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To
reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers, empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum
(for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the
following questions.
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frames of an object, each slightly
different than the preceding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw
the different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer
will produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-
assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequence of
68
Tuyển tập 120 đề thi thử đại học môn Tiếng Anh năm 2014 (có đáp án kèm theo)
Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
pictures.
These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that define the objects in the pictures as they
exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information. Highly
trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of
realism involves computer techniques for three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures.
High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special
color terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a
single frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen.
A camera can be used to film directly from the computer's display screen, but for the highest quality
images possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computes the positions and colors for the
figures in the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes,
however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process
is completed, it is repeated for the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the
film must be developed before the animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the
motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive
and time consuming. Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-
generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution,
realistic-looking images.
Question 46. What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The production process B. The equipment needed C. The high cost D. The role of the artist
Question 47. According to the passage, in computer-assisted animation the role of the computer is to draw

A. formulas B. databases C. numbers D. objects
Question 49. According to the passage, the frame buffers mentioned in the third paragraph are used
to____.

C. store individual images D. create new frames
Question 50. According to the passage, the positions and colours of the figures in high-tech animation are
determined by____. A. drawing several versions B. enlarging one frame at a lime
C. analyzing the sequence from different angles D. using computer calculations
Question 51. The word "captures" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to____.
A. separates B. registers C. describes D. numbers
Question 52. The word "Once" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to____.
A. before B. since C. after D. while
Question 53. According to the passage, how do computer-animation companies often test motion?
A. They experiment with computer-generated line drawings. B. They hand-draw successive
frames.
C. They calculate high-resolution images. D. They develop extensive mathematical
formulas.
Question 54. The word "task" in the 4th paragraph is closest in meaning to____.
A. possibility B. position C. time D. job
Question 55. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A. Computers have reduced the costs of animation. B. In the future, traditional artists will no longer
be needed.
C. Artists are unable to produce drawings as high in quality as computer drawings.
D. Animation involves a wide range of technical and artistic skills.
Questions 56 - 65. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions.
The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee. Natural selection has
acted in a variety of ways in different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviours, known as "flight
behaviours" or escape behaviours that are used by prey in fleeing predators. Perhaps the most direct
adaptation is enhanced light speed and agility. Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require
sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy.
Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way.
69
Tuyển tập 120 đề thi thử đại học môn Tiếng Anh năm 2014 (có đáp án kèm theo)
Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
Many species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a
characteristic zigzag fashion. Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to
track prey.
In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the
presence of predators that are faster than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are
slower. One observation that supports this suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded
gulls, which are normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes in
flight direction when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds).
A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behaviour. Here, the
alarmed prey flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey,
and a startling flash of activity followed by immobility may confuse them. "Flash" behaviour is used in
particular by frogs and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile. In some
species, "flash" behaviour is enhanced by the display of bright body markings. Good examples of insects
with colourful markings are the red and yellow underwing moths. At rest, both species are a cryptic brown
color. When they fly, however, brightly coloured hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly
conspicuous. Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly coloured patches or frills that may serve a
'flash" function when they move quickly. Some species even appear to possess "flash" sounds. The loud
buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the
movement.
Question 56. The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to____.
A. encourage B. resist C. increase D. reveal
Question 57. The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is____.
A. reliable B. fast C. constant D. unpredictable
Question 58. It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare____.
A. is faster than most of its predators B. is capable of two kinds of flight
C. is more likely to escape using straight flight D. is preyed upon by gulls and falcons
Question 59. The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of____.
A. gazelles B. European hares C. peregrine falcons D. frogs
Question 60. It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon
for which of the following reasons? A. The falcons are faster than the gulls. B. The gulls want to
capture the falcons.
C. The falcons are unpredictable. D. The gulls depend on the falcons for protection.
Question 61. The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to____.
A. moving B. selected C. frightened D. exhausted
Question 62. All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behaviour EXCEPT____.
A. brief conspicuous activity B. immobility
C. bright body markings D. aggressive fighting
Question 63. The phrase "in particular" is closest in meaning to____.
A. especially B. with difficulty C. expertly D. frequently
Question 64. The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar
to____.
A. the hind wings of peregrine falcons B. the zigzag flight of European hares
C. the colored patches on frogs D. the clicking of grasshoppers
Question 65. Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in the last line?
A. To contrast animals that "flash" with animals that "freeze".
B. As an example of an animal whose "flash" behaviour is a sound.
C. To compare the jumping behaviour of insects and reptiles.
D. As an example of a predator that moths escape by using "flash" behavior.

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 from 36 to 45.
In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1888, 1900,
1964, etc.). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in office, with one
exception. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only several
weeks after his inauguration.
Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860, and
his untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio,
was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn't give a job. While in his second
term of office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American Exposition in
Buffalo, New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with some of the guests.
John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his election.
Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G, Harding died in office. Although it was never
proved, many believe he was poisoned. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940 and
1944), the only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually died of the
illness in 1945.
Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and reelected four years later, suffered an assassination

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 from 71 to 80.
Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his
own use. This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller
plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken
from the wild and developed into the forms we know today.
As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organise
their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history
concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their
imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that
resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an extract made from a heart-
shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems.
Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our
present knowledge of drugs and their uses.
Question 71: What does this passage mainly discuss? A. Cures from plants. B. The beginning of
natural history.
C. Prehistoric man. D. Early plants and animals.
Question 72: Domestication of plants and animals probably occurred because of ______ .

A. providing food for man B. man’s domestication of plants and animals
C. mans ability to live on a small plot of land D. the earliest condition of prehistoric man
Question 74: The word “blossomed” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______ .
A. produced flowers B. changed C. learned D. flourished
Question 75: An herbalist is which of the following?
A. A dreamer. B. An early historian. C. Someone who uses plants in medicine. D.
A farmer.
Question 76: The phrase “in this respect” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. the development of human culture B. the development of the field of natural
history
C. the use of plants for drugs and medicine D. the origin of knowledge of nature
Question 77: The word “extract” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A. design B. substance C. flavour D. ailment
Question 78: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The shape of a plant is indicative of its ability to cure ailments of a similarly shaped organ.
B. There is little relation between a cure for illness and the physical shape of a plant.
C. The work of early herbalists has nothing to do with present day medicine.
D. Early herbalists were unimaginative.

theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the univer
reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and
lesser extent, the Sun.

Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of hig
is correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height
tide varies. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. Thes
the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At these
the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to brin

Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a trian
configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap
occur. Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month.

The ocean bottom - a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth - is a
frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharted. Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean
was completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep. Totally without
and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth's surface, the deep-o
bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer sp

Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the
detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning o
National Science Foundation's Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP).Using techniques first developed fo
offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP's drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a st
position on the ocean's surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock
the ocean floor.

The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in Nove
1983. During this time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of se
sediments and rocks at 624 drilling sites around the world. The Glomar Challenger's core samples
allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calc
what it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today, largely on the strength of evid
gathered during the Glomar Challenger's voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of
tectonics and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that shape the Earth.

The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critic
understanding the world's past climates. Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching
hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the int
chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of past climates. This re
has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic change - information that ma
used to predict future climates.

Câu 36: The author refers to the ocean bottom as a "frontier" in line 2 because it____.
A. is not a popular area for scientific research B. contains a wide variety of life forms
C. attracts courageous explorers D. is an unknown territory
Câu 37: The word "inaccessible" in line 3 is closest in meaning to____.
3. unrecognizable B. unreachable C. unusable D. unsafe
Câu 38: The author mentions outer space in line 6 because____.
A. the Earth's climate millions of years ago was similar to conditions in outer space.
B. it is similar to the ocean floor in being alien to the human environment
C. rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each of the following questions
What we today call American folk art was, indeed, art of, by, and for ordinary, everyday "folks"
who, with increasing prosperity and leisure, created a market for art of all kinds, and especially for portraits.
Citizens of prosperous, essentially middle-class republics ─ whether ancient Romans, seventeenth-century
Dutch burghers, or nineteenth-century Americans ─ have always shown a marked taste for portraiture.
Starting in the late eighteenth century, the United States contained increasing numbers of such people, and
of the artists who could meet their demands.
The earliest American folk art portraits come, not surprisingly, from New England ─ especially
Connecticut and Massachusetts ─ for this was a wealthy and populous region and the center of a strong
craft tradition. Within a few decades after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the
population was pushing westward, and portrait painters could be found at work in western New York, Ohio,
Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri. Midway through its first century as a nation, the United States' population
had increased roughly five times, and eleven new states had been added to the original thirteen. During
these years the demand for portraits grew and grew, eventually to be satisfied by the camera. In 1839 the
daguerreotype was introduced to America, ushering in the age of photography, and within a generation the
new invention put an end to the popularity of painted portraits. Once again an original portrait became a
luxury, commissioned by the wealthy and executed by the professional.
But in the heyday of portrait painting ─ from the late eighteenth century until the 1850's ─ anyone
with a modicum of artistic ability could become a limner, as such a portraitist was called. Local craftspeople
─ sign, coach, and house painters ─ began to paint portraits as a profitable sideline; sometimes a talented
man or woman who began by sketching family members gained a local reputation and was besieged with
requests for portraits; artists found it worth their while to pack their paints, canvases, and brushes and to
travel the countryside, often combining house decorating with portrait painting.
Question 56. In lines 3- 4 the author mentions seventeenth-century Dutch burghers as an example of a
group that____.
A. consisted mainly of self-taught artists B. appreciated portraits
C. influenced American folk art D. had little time for the arts

mysterious

A. a strong craft tradition B. American folk art C. New England D.
western New York
Question 60. How much did the population of the United Stats increase in the first fifty years following
independence?
A. It became three times larges B. It became five times larger
C. It became eleven times larger D. It became thirteen times larger

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each of the following questions
No educational medium better serves as a means of spatial communication than the atlas. Atlases
deal with such invaluable information as population distribution and density. One of the best, Pennycooke's
World Atlas, has been widely accepted as a standard owing to the quality of its maps and photographs,
which not only show various settlements but also portray them in a variety of scales. In fact, the very first
map in the atlas is a cleverly designed population cartogram that projects the size of each country if
geographical size were proportional to population. Following the proportional layout, a sequence of smaller
maps shows the world's population density, each country's birth and death rates, population increase or
decrease, industrialization, urbanization, gross national product in term of per capita income, the quality of
medical care, literacy, and language. To give readers a perspective on how their own country fits in with the
global view, additional projections depict the world's patterns in nutrition, calorie and protein consumption,
health care, number of physicians per unit of population, and life expectancy by region. Population density
maps on a subcontinental scale, as well as political maps, convey the diverse demographic phenomena of
the world in a broad array of scales.

A. The educational benefits of atlases B. Physical maps in an atlas
C. The ideal in the making of atlases D. Partial maps and their uses

C. The atlas provides readers with not only each country's life expectancy by religion but also its language
and literacy.
D. The atlas deals with such worthless information as population distribution and density.
Question 69. The word cleverly in the passage is closest in meaning to____.
A. clearly B. immaculately C. intelligently D. accurately
Question 70. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

The principle of use and disuse states that those parts of organisms' bodies that are used grown larger.
Those parts that are not tend to wither away. It is an observed fact that when you exercise particular
muscles, they grow. Those that are never used dimish. By examining a man's body, we can tell which
muscles he uses and which he doesn't. we may even be able to guess his profession or his reaction.
Enthusiasts of the "body- building" cult make use of the principle of use and disuse to "build" their bodies,
almost like a piece of sculpture, into whatever unnatural shape is demanded by fashion in this peculiar
minority culture. Muscles are not the only parts of the body that respond to use in this kind of way. Walk
barefoot and you acquire harder skin on your soles. It is easy to tell a farmer from a bank teller by looking
at their hands alone. The farmer's hands are horny, hardened by long exposure to rough work. The teller's
hands are relatively soft.
The principle of use and disuse enables animals to become better at the job of surviving in their world,
progressively better during their lifetime as a result of living in that world. Humans, through direct exposure
to sunlight, or lack of it, develop a skin color which equips them better to survive in the particular local
conditions.
Too much sunlight is dangerous. Enthusiastic sunbathers with very fair skins are susceptible to skin
cancer. Too little sunlight, on the other hand, leads to vitamin-D deficiency and rickets. The brown pigment
melanin which is synthesized under the influence of sunlight, makes a screen to protect the underlying
tissues from the harmful effects of further sunlight. If a suntanned person moves to a less sunny climate,
the melanin disappears, and the body is able to benefit from what little sun there is. This can be represented
as an instance of the principle of use
and disuse: skin goes brown when it is "used", and fades to white when it is not.
Question 41. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How the principles of use and disuse change people's concepts of themselves.
B. The way in which people change themselves to conform to fashion.
C. The changes that occur according to the principle of use and disuse.
D. The effects of the sun on the principle of use and disuse.

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.

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 ones- while 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 do 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 66. According to the passage, we respond to others by _________.
A. observing their looks C. watching their actions
B. observing their emotional expressions D. looking at their faces
Question 67. Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether __________.
A. different cultures have similar emotional expressions.
B. eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar.
C. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth.
4. rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar.
Question 68. The word “ evolved” in line 3 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. reduced B. increased C. simplified D. developed
Question 69. Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of ____________.
A. lacked many main ingredients B. researchers on universal language
74. researchers who can speak and understand many languages
75. investigators on universal emotional expressions
Question 70. Smiles and frowns __________.
B. are universal expressions across cultures C. do not convey the same emotions in various
cultures
C. are not popular everywhere D. have different meanings in different cultures

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical
and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading
aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace (phổ biến). One should
be wary (thận trọng), however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud
was a distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading
have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves
changed in character. The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of
readers. As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was
some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came
the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and
offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers. Towards the end of the century, there
was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully
and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening.
Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared
literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and
periodicals for a specialised readership (độc giả đặc biệt) on the other. By the end of the twentieth century,
students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were
inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and technological changes in the
century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied.
Câu 1: Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because ______.
A. people relied on reading for entertainment B. silent reading had not been discovered
C. there were few places available for private reading D. few people could read to themselves

The Sun today is a yellow dwarf (lùn) star. It is fueled by thermonuclear (hạt nhân nóng) reactions
near its center that convert hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion
six hundred million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth. By studying other stars,
astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About five billion years from now, the
core of the Sun will shrink (co lại) and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher
temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun will
expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the
Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist.
Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to
the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in
violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf. After billions of
years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat. Such a star is called
a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere
remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface.
Câu 41: It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun ______.
A. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf
B. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years
C. has been in existence for 10 billion years D. is rapidly changing in size and brightness
Câu 42: What will probably be the first stage of change for the Sun to become a red giant?
A. Its surface will become hotter and shrink. B. It will throw off huge amounts of gases.
C. Its central part will grow smaller and hotter. D. Its core will cool off and use less fuel.
Câu 43: When the Sun becomes a red giant, what will the atmosphere be like on the Earth?
A. It will be enveloped in the expanding surface of the sun. B. It will become too hot for life to
exist.
C. It will be almost destroyed by nova explosions. D. It will freeze and become solid.
Câu 44: When the Sun has used up its energy as a red giant, it will ______.
A. get frozen B. cease to exist C. stop to expand D. become
smaller
Câu 45: Large amounts of gases may be released from the Sun at the end of its life as a ______.
A. black dwarf B. white dwarf C. red giant D. yellow dwarf

DON’T WORRY IN SILENCE
When we are young, sometimes the hardest thing about feelings is actually sharing them with
others, though, I realise now, it is certainly worth making the effort to do so. Sharing with others helps us to
share the load, as it were.
It was not until much later, looking back over my childhood, that I realised that the first step in
sharing was to identify what feelings I actually had! Making a list of them seemed to help. Was I happy or
was I sad? Was it all emotion experienced only at that particular time or did I tend to feel like that all the
time?
My problem was that I had not realised that some fears are quite acceptable and even helpful at
times, while others can actually get in the way of enjoying everyday things such as learning, playing with a
friend or experiencing for the first time the change from Primary to Secondary level. This is when I really
should have had a chat with my parents instead of holding it all inside, as they would have been able to
lessen my anxiety about moving up.
There were times when my anxiety would also be accompanied by a headache, a stomachache or
dizziness. My grandmother used to tell me that there is a certain part of the brain that controls that fight or
flight feeling. Not that I had any idea what she was talking about as I must have been only about knee-high
at the time!
I recall a small group of us feeling uncomfortable at the idea of meeting new teachers or moving up
to the “big” school. That kind of discomfort at such an age is natural when faced with something new.
Better late than never, I realised that being shy is not such a bad thing. Nobody actually sets out to be like
that, it just happens naturally. I understood quite quickly that the key to shyness is just to be yourself. No
matter the age, it’s healthy to get things off your chest! In fact, I quickly found that some of my friends had
the same feelings and became quite happy to share their secrets. Sometimes, just inviting a shy child to join

in a game a couple of times helped them to get over their feelings of shyness.
There were other times when I felt sad about leaving Primary school, but then again, it was one of
the many normal emotions or moods we have all experienced during that period of change. Unhappiness
was the emotion I felt when I had to say goodbye to certain dear friends. It made me feel like crying, though
even crying made me feel better as tears slowly washed away the negative emotions. When the sadness
started to disappear, it felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
I now realise at the tender age of twenty- eight that, even though, there might sometimes seem to be
no reason to look on the bright side of life, for every bad there is a good. Also, having friends who think
optimistically can help you get on your feet again and move forward onto a more positive path.
Question 66. What do youngsters find most difficult to do? A. to make an effort B. to realise that life is
hard.
C. to tell others how they feel. D. to accept help from others.
Question 67. What was the writer’s first move towards sharing her feelings?

feelings
Question 68. What the writer finally realised about fears is that ____________.
A. they all get in the way B. they can happen every day
C. some are more helpful than others D. it is better to hold them inside
Question 69. What does the writer mean by “knee-high”?
A. too short B. too young C. too high D. too tall
Question 70. According to the writer, what is the best way to handle shyness?
A. to realise that it is uncomfortable B. to realise that age matters
C. to understand that it is unhealthy D. to be your usual self

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 questions 36 to 45.
Animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis the difference between a
number of objects and a smaller number. In his book “ The Natural History of Selboure ” (1786), the
naturalist Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day from a plover’s nest , and how
the mother laid another egg each day to make up for the missing one. He noted that other species of birds
ignore the absence of a single egg but abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed. It has
also been noted by naturalists that a certain type of wasp always provides five – never four, never six -
caterpillars for each of their eggs so that their young have something to eat when the eggs hatch. Research
has also shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to distinguish between odd and even numbers of
food pieces.
These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than humans can
actually count. They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the
correct number of barks, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the

proper number of times.
Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as a species – as in the case
of the eggs – or survival as individuals - as in the case of food. There is no transfer to other situations or
from concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers. Animals can “count” only when the objects are
present and only when the numbers involved are small – not more than seven or eight. In lab experiments,
animals trained to “count” one kind of object were unable to count any other type. The objects, not the
numbers, are what interest them. Animals admittedly remarkable achievements simply do not amount to
evidence of counting, nor do they reveal more than innate instincts, refined by the genes of successive
generations, or the results of clever, careful conditioning by trainers.
Question 36: The word “they” refer to______.
A. numbers B. animals C. achievements D. genes
Question 37: The word “odd” refers to which of the following?

A. reasons B. deceptions C. invoices D. reports
Question 39: According to information in the passage, which of the following is LEAST likely to occur as
a result of animals’ intuitive awareness of quantities?
A. When asked by its trainer how old it is, a monkey holds up five fingers.
B. A lion follows one antelope instead of the herd of antelopes because it is easier to hunt a single prey.
C. When one of its four kittens crawls away, a mother cat misses it and searches for the kitten.
D. A pigeon is more attracted by a box containing two pieces of food than by a box containing one piece.
Question 40: The word “surreptitiously” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. stubbornly B. secretly C. quickly D. occasionally
Question 41: What is the main idea of this passage? A. Of all animals, dogs and horses can count best.
B. Careful training is required to teach animals to perform tricks involving numbers
C. Although animals may be aware of quantities, they cannot actually count.
D. Animals cannot “count” more than one kind of object.
Question 42: Where in the passage does the author mention research that supports his own view of
animals’ inability to count? A. “In his book …… the missing one.” B. “In lab
experiments…….other type”
C. “Research has shown that …… food pieces.” D. “These and similar accounts …..count.”
Question 43: Why does the author refer to Gilbert White’s book in line 2?
A. To contradict the idea that animals can count. B. To provide evidence that some birds are aware of
quantities.
C. To show how attitudes have changed since1786. D. To indicate that more research is needed in this
field.
Question 44: How would the author probably characterize the people who are mentioned in the first line
of the second paragraph? A. As mistaken B. As demanding C. As clever D. As foolish
Question 45: The author mentions that all of the following are aware of quantities in some ways EXCEPT

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 questions from 46 to 55.
The Roman alphabet took thousands of years to develop, from the picture writing of the ancient Egyptians
through modifications by Phoenicians, Greek, Romans, and others. Yet in just a dozen years, one man,
Sequoyah, invented an alphabet for the Cherokee people. Born in eastern Tennessee, Sequoyah was a hunter
and a silversmith in his youth, as well as an able interpreter who knew Spanish, French and English.
Sequoyah wanted his people to have the secret of the “talking leaves” as he called his books of white
people, and so he set out to design a written form of Cherokee. His chief aim was to record his people’s
ancient tribal customs. He began by designing pictographs for every word in the Cherokee vocabulary.
Reputedly his wife, angry with him for his neglect of garden and house, burned his notes, and he had to start
over. This time, having concluded that picture-writing was cumbersome, he made symbols for the sounds
of Cherokee language. Eventually he refined his system to eighty-five characters, which he borrowed from
104

Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
the Roman, Greek, and Hebrew alphabets. He presented this system to the Cherokee General Council in
1821, and it was wholeheartedly approved. The response was phenomenal. Cherokees who had struggled
for months to learn English lettering school picked up the new system in days. Several books were printed
in Cherokee, and in 1828, a newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix, was first published in the new alphabet.
Sequoyah was acclaimed by his people.
In his later life, Sequoyah dedicated himself to the general advancement of his people. He went to
Washington, D.C., as a representative of the Western tribes. He helped settled bitter differences among
Cherokee after their forced movement by the federal government to the Oklahoma territory in the 1930s. He
died in Mexico in 1843 while searching for groups of lost Cherokee. A statue of Sequoyah represents
Oklahoma in the Statuary Hall in the Capitol building of Washington. D.C. However, he is probably chiefly
remembered today because Sequoias, the giant redwood trees of California, are named of him.

C. the pictographic system of writing D. the accomplishments of Sequoyah

A. twelve years B. eighty-five years C. twenty years D. thousands of years

______.

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.
Question 71. All of the following statements can be inferred from the text EXCEPT____ .
A. We need more and more water. B. The population of the world is increasing every year.

Question 72. Which of the following is NOT true about the world’s water?
A. The vast majority of the world’s water is ocean (or salty) water.
B. Ocean water is salty enough to be used for drinking, farming, and manufacturing.
C. Most fresh water is locked in glaciers and icecaps. D. The percentage of fresh water is very
small.
Question 73. 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 not rain
water.

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.

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 Questions from 56 to 60
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get as education.
Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction
between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended
and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place where, whether in the
shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes
place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a
reserved grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.
Whereas schooling has certain predictability, education quite often produce surprise. A change
conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is know of other religions.
People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It
is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school and one that should be an integral
part of one’s entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general
pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at
approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbook, do
homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learnt, whether they are the alphabet or
an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject
being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their class the
truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.
There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
Question 76: What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their
education to go to school”? A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.
B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.
C. Summer school makes the school year too long. D. All of life is an education.
Question 77: the word “bounds” is closest in meaning to____.
A. rules B. experiences C. limits D. expectation
Question 78: the word “they” refers to
A. slices of reality B. similar textbooks C. boundaries D. seats
Question 79: The passage supports which of the following conclusions?
A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant B. Education systems need to be radically
reformed.
C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.
D. Education involves many years of professional training.
Question 80: The passage is organized by_____.
A. listing and discussing several educational problems B. contrasting the meanings of two related
words
C. narrating a story about excellent teachers D. giving examples of different kinds of
schools

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer
to each of the questions.
The development of advanced radio telescopes has allowed astronomers to attempt to answer a
question that has long intrigued scientists, philosophers, and laypersons alike: Do other forms of intelligent
life exist elsewhere in the universe? Although the legends of many ancient cultures hold that divine beings
created the heavens and controlled such cosmic events as eclipses, the idea that other planets harbor life
similar in development and intelligence to our own did not become popular until the nineteenth century,
when a few scientists considered ways in which earthlings might contact other beings. One plan envisioned
the building of huge canals in the desert in the shape of easily recognizable geometric symbols; when filled
with gasoline and ignited, the canals would signal the presence of life on Earth to neighboring worlds. Since
then, many astronomers have become seriously interested in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or
SETI. They assume that alien beings elsewhere in the galaxy will probably try to contact earthlings, using
flashes of light to carry their messages. In 1960 one astronomer performed one of the first serious searches
for extraterrestrial life, called Project Ozma. The astronomer turned a sensitive radio telescope in the
direction of nearby stars Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani but found no transmissions that might be beacons
from extraterrestrial civilizations. Since Project Ozma, about four dozen other searches have been
conducted. No one has yet received an unambiguous signal from an extraterrestrial civilization, and
numerous false alarms have been caused by interference from radio-wave sources here on Earth.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, has also been involved in SETI and sought
funding from the United States Congress to build a complete receiver and to undertake a ten-year search
program. One half of this search plan calls for using radio telescopes in its Deep-Space Network to
repeatedly scan the entire sky. The other half involves using its 1,000-foot telescope to listen to nearby stars
similar to the Sun that may have Earthlike planets orbiting around them. Although scientists realize their
survey will be far from complete, they believe the search must begin with small efforts. Said one scientist:
"We're new at this business, and when you walk into a dark, unfamiliar forest, you should probably listen
before you shout."

The word robot first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a man makes a
machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In the 1940s, the
American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the term
robotics, the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were developed by an engineer,
Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they started Unimation, a
manufacturing company that produces the first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate. Robots of this type
were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success. They worked reliably and
saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well.
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction
films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply pieces of computer-
controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands”. Since they were made of metal, they could perform
certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat. And since
robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be
tiring or boring for humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in
many factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the same time
other jobs have been created in the design, development, and production of the robots.
[1]  Outside of industry, robots have also been developed and put to use by governments and scientists in
situations where humans might be in danger. For example, they can be sent in to investigate an unexploded
bomb or an accident at a nuclear power plant. [2] In space exploration, robots have performed many key
tasks where humans could not be present, such as on the surface of Mars. [3] In 2004, two robotic Rovers-
small six-wheeled computerized cars were sent to Mars. [4]
Question 46 When did the word “robot” appear?

A. in the 1920s B. in the 40s C. in the 60s D. in the 19th ce

Question 47 What can be said about Karel Capek?

B. He was the first to create the word D. He made a robot in order to kill a person

Question 48 What is Unimation?

A. It’s the name of a robot C. It’s a robot making program

B. It’s the producer of the first robot D. It’s the name of a robot inventor

A. They look like humans C. They are computer-controlled machin

B. They behave like humans D. They controlled machinery

A. They don’t need food C. They are tiring

B. They are not distracted D. They can do jobs involving high heat

Question 51 What can be said about robots?

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 from 56 to 65.
"The economic history of the United States", one scholar has written, "is the history of the rise and
development of the capitalistic system". The colonists of the eighteenth century pushed forward what those
of the seventeenth century have begun: the expansion and elaboration of an economy born in the great age
of capitalist expansion.
Our excellent natural resources paved the way for the development of abundant capital to increase
our growth. Capital includes the tools – such as: machines, vehicles, and buildings – that makes the outputs
of labor and resources more valuable. But it also includes the funds necessary to buy those tools. If a
society had to consume everything it produced just to stay alive, nothing could be put aside to increase
future productions. But if a farmer can grow more corn than his family needs to eat, he can use the surplus
as seed to increase the next crop, or to feed workers who build tractors. This process of capital accumulation
was aided in the American economy by our cultural heritage. Saving played an important role in the
European tradition. It contributed to American’s motivation to put something aside today for the tools to
buy tomorrow.
The great bulk of the accumulated wealth of America, as distinguished from what was consumed, was
derived either directly or indirectly from trade. Though some manufacturing existed, its role in the
accumulation of capital was negligible. A merchant class of opulent proportions was already visible in the

seaboard cities, its wealth as the obvious consequence of shrewd and resourceful management of the
carrying trade. Even the rich planters of tidewater Virginia and the rice coast of South Carolina finally
depended for their genteel way of life upon the ships and merchants who sold their tobacco and rice in the
markets of Europe. As colonial production rose and trade expanded, a business community emerged in the
colonies, linking the provinces by lines of trade and identity of interest.

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 question from 61 to 70.
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also
contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk, in fact,
contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has driven
egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several
alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not
really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having
low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they
are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg,
sometimes called ‘designer’ eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-flat diets consisting of
ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diet, however, these hens produce eggs
that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that
eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to
back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels
have brought mixed result. It may be that it is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant of
cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived
from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body’s
production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even
designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood
cholesterol level.
Question 61: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary at increases the blood cholesterol level
B. To make people know about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten

Reading 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 questions from 1 to 10:
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frame of an object, each slightly
different than the proceeding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw
the different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer
will produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-
assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequences of
pictures. These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that defines the objects in the pictures
as they exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information.
Highly trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees
of realism involves computer techniques from three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures.
High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special
color terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a
single frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen.
A camera can be used to film directly from the computer’s display screen, but for the highest quality
images possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computers the positions and colors for the
figures in the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes,
however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process
is completed, it is replaced for the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the
film must be developed before the animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the
motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive
and time- consuming. Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-
generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution,
realistic-looking images.
Question 1: What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The production procession B. The equipment needed C. The high cost D. The role of the artist
Question 2: According to the passage, in computer-assisted animation the role of the computer is to draw

C. store individual images D. create new frames
Question 5: According to the passage, the positions and colors of the figures in high-tech animation are
determined by _____. A. drawing several versions B. enlarging one frame at a lime
C. analyzing the sequence from different angles D. using computer calculations

A. separates B. registers C. describes D. numbers

Reading 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 question 71 to 80:
Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future
ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are
cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing.
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions
entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior:
Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The
orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun’s position in the sky, and the
speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to
perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when
experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from
the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When
the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food.
No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have
inferred the location of the new site.
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter
who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as
rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how
to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing
chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips.
Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher
total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label
quantities of items and do simple sums.
Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Observations that suggest consciousness in
animal behavior.
B. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. C. The role of instinct in animal behavior.
D. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory
experiments.
Question 72: Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?
A. Communicating emotions B. Remembering past experiences
C. Selecting among choices D. Anticipating events to come
Question 73: What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site?
A. To determine the quality of food at a site B. To increase the speed of travel to food sources
C. To identify the type of nectar that is available D. To communicate the location of food

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 questions from 51 to 60
Water scarcity is fast becoming one of the major limiting factors in world crop production. In many
areas, poor agricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of formerly arable lands.
Consequently, those plant species that are well adapted to survival in dry climates are being looked at for an
answer in developing more efficient crops to grow on marginally arable lands.
Plants use several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments. Some involve purely
mechanical and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant's surface, smaller leaf size, and
extensive root systems. Some of the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms. Many plants, such as
cacti, have internal gums and mucilage which give them water-retaining properties. Another chemical
mechanism is that of the epicuticular wax layer. This wax layer acts as an impervious cover to protect the
plant. It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture. It also protects the plant from external aggression,
which can come from inorganic agents such as gases, or organic agents which include bacteria and plant
pests.
Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes with similar protective abilities could be prepared
based on knowledge of desert plants. If successfully developed, such a compound could be used to greatly
increase a plant's ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as inadequate water supply, limited
fertilizer availability, attack by pests, and poor storage after harvesting.
Question 51: This passage deals mainly with ____. A. desertification B. decreasing water
supply
C. factors limiting crop production D. developing efficient plants
st
Question 52: The word “arable” in the 1 paragraph is closest in meaning to ________
A. fertile B. parched C. barren D. marsh
Question 53: Which of the following is a mechanical or physical mechanism that desert plants use?
A. The plant’s shape B. The small root system C. The vast leaf size D. The high
water system
Question 54: The word “extensive” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to _________
A. spongy B. shallow C. widespread D. comprehensive
Question 55: Which is one of the ways in which the epicuticular wax protects the plant?
A. It helps the plant to avoid excessive moisture intake B. It helps the plant to attack aggressors.
C. It releases gases against plant pests. D. It guards against bacteria.
nd

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 questions from 71 to 80
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions
of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the
right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history.
Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the
best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters
showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United
States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained
invisible in history books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female
authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians.
Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.
During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by
keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women’s
organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and
souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s
history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and
the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for
later Generations of historians.
Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century,
most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of History, just as much of
mainstream American history concentrated on “great men.” To demonstrate that women were making
significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies,
or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life
as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of
the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the
American histories being published.
Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The role of literature in early American
histories
B. The place of American women in written histories C. The keen sense of history shown by American

A. a woman’s status was changed by marriage B. even the contributions of outstanding women were

C. only three women were able to get their writing published
D. poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women
Question 74: The word “celebratory” in the 2nd paragraph means that the writings referred to ________
A. related to parties B. religious C. serious D. full of praise
nd
Question 75: The word “they” in the 2 paragraph refers to________
A. efforts B. authors C. counterparts D. sources
nd

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 from 56 to 60.
Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For
employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the
location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when
the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant site and transmit the material
to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million
telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant
as predicted when Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago.
Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many
managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across
the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager's responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the
opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that
they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting.
Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get
away from the office.
Question 56: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters EXCEPT_____ .
A. the lack of interaction with a group B. the different system of supervision
C. the fact that the work space is in the home D. the opportunities for advancement
Question 57: How many American workers are involved in telecommuting?
A. More than 8 million B. More than predicted in Business Week
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today D. Fewer than last year
Question 58: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _______.
A. the manager of a group of telecommuters B. a reporter C. a telecommuter D. a statistician
Question 59: The word "resistance" could best be replaced by_______.
A. participation B. consideration C. opposition D. alteration
Question 60: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. A definition of telecommuting B. The advantages of telecommuting
C. An overview of telecommuting D. The failure of telecommuting

Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also
contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk, in fact,
contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused
140
Tuyển tập 120 đề thi thử đại học môn Tiếng Anh năm 2014 (có đáp án kèm theo)
Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several
alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not
really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having
low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they
are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg,
sometimes called 'designer' eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of
ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs
that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that
eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back
up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have
brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but
the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than
other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood
cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it
seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol
level.
Question 61: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.
Question 62: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals B. cholesterol C. canola oil D. vitamins
Question 63: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?
A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot
Question 64: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. increasing price B. decreased production C. dietary changes in hens D. concerns about
cholesterol
Question 65: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested
daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol? A. 3/4 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D. 1/3
Question 66: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. studied B. destroyed C. tested D. described
Question 67: What is the meaning of 'back up'?
A. reverse B. advance C. block D. support
Question 68: What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'?
A. The results are blended. B. The results are a composite of things.
C. The results are inconclusive. D. The results are mingled together.
Question 69: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types
of eggs EXCEPT? A. boiled B. poached C. scrambled D. fried
Question 70: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake B. increasing egg intake and fat intake
C. decreasing egg intake and fat intake D. increasing egg intake but not fat intake

The advent of the Internet may be one of the most important technological developments in recent years. Nev
before have so many people had access to so many different sources of information. For all of the Interne
advantages, however, people are currently becoming aware of some of its drawbacks and are looking for creati
solutions. Among the current problems, which include a general lack of reliability and numerous security concer
the most crucial is speed.
First of all, the Internet has grown very quickly. In 1990, only a few academics had ever heard of the Intern
In 1996, over 50 million people used it. Every year, the number of people with access to the Internet doubles. T
rapid growth has been a problem. The computer systems which run the Internet have not been able to keep up with t
demand. Also, sometimes, a request for information must pass through many routing computers before t
information can be obtained. A request for information made in Paris might have to go through computers in N
York, Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to obtain the required information. Consequently, the service is often slow a
unpredictable. Service also tends to be worse when the Internet is busiest - during the business day of the Weste
Hemisphere - which is also when companies need its service the most.
Some people are trying to harness the power of networked computers in such a way as to avoid this proble
In 1995, a group of American universities banded together to form what has come to be known as Internet II. Intern
II is a smaller, more specialized system intended for academic use. Since it is more specialized, fewer users a
allowed access. Consequently, the time required to receive information has decreased.
Businesses are beginning to explore a possible analogue to the Internet II. Many businesses are creating th
own “Intranets”. These are systems that can only be used by the members of the same company. In theory, few
users should translate into a faster system. Intranets are very useful for large national and international compan
whose branches need to share information. Another benefit of an Intranet is an increased amount of security. Sin
only company employees have access to the information on the Intranet, their information is protected fro
competitors. While there is little doubt that the Internet will eventually be a fast and reliable service, industry and t
academic community have taken their own steps toward making more practical global networks.
Question 56: According to the passage, which of the following is not true of the Internet?
A. It tends to be unreliable. B. It has created a sense of financial security.
C. It is too expensive to access. D. It has become increasingly less popular.

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 questions from 66 to 75.
History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or
talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in
1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small
band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound
that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called "synchronized sound" – began soon
after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing
and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and
dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could
become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector
changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read
by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing
synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually
brought us "talking pictures".

Collecting maps can be an enjoyable hobby for antiquarian booksellers, a captivating interest for
cartographers, a lucrative vocation for astute dealers, and an inspirational part of the occupational
functioning of map catalogers, archivists, and historians. Among recognized collectibles, maps are relatively
rarer than stamps, but they have had their avid enthusiasts and admirers ever since copies were made by
hand only for affluent, the commanding officer, and the ship captain.
Whether the interest is business-related or amateur, the economic means abundant or slim, a collection
needs a theme, be it associated with contemporary changes in cartographic representation or geographic
knowledge, or a more accessible goal centered on a particular mapmaker, technique, or type of subject
matter. Collectors should not overlook topical maps issued predominantly or exclusively after World War
II, such as navigational charts, industrial compound road layouts, or aerial projections. Potential collectors
ought not to disregard two superficially prosaic, yet important themes: maps of travel routes for family
trips, and maps that, for aesthetic reasons, they personally find intriguing or simply attractive. In the first
case, like the box with old family photos, the collection will give the travelers the opportunity to reminisce
and relive the journey.
In most cases, photocopies are worthy alternatives to originals. For example, historical society
collections customarily include the high quality facsimiles needed to make a collection as comprehensive
and practical as possible, supplementing the contributions made by well-to-do donors and benefactors. If not
predisposed to wait patiently, and possibly ineffectually, for a lucky find, collectors may choose to sift

The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the
planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than
2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other encyclopedias,
however, Wikepedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are not paid and their
names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge.
Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human
knowledge. The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education”. Real
popularity for encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the
publication of encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same
amount of information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to
create an online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However, even
Internet-based encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild
of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these. In 2001, he had the idea for an
Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore,
that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time.
But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the
articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long
time to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone
would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To

do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users
to create or alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can
simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an
article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it. This process
goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes.

The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor –
saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor – saving machinery naturally
appeared first where labor was scarce. “In Europe,” said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most
of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant. “it was in

America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteen-century agricultural machinery first came. At the
opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the
existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been
design in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790
Charles New bold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire
fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers however, would have none of it, claiming that the iron

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 questions
The Native American peoples of the north Pacific Coast created a highly complex maritime culture as
they invented modes of production unique to their special environment. In addition to their sophisticated
technical culture, they also attained one of the most complex social organizations of any nonagricultural
people in the world.
In a division of labor similar to that of the hunting peoples in the interior and among foraging peoples
throughout the world, the men did most of the fishing, and the women processed the catch. Women also
specialized in the gathering of the abundant shellfish that lived closer to shore. They collected oysters,
crabs, sea urchins, mussels, abalone, and clams, which they could gather while remaining close to their
children. The maritime life harvested by the women not only provided food, but also supplied more of the
raw materials for making tools than did fish gathered by the men. Of particular importance for the native
tool than did the fish gathered by the men. Of particular made from the larger mussel shells, and a variety of
cutting edges that could be made from other marine shells.
The women used their tools to process all of the fish and marine mammals brought in by the men. They
cleaned the fish, and dried vast quantities of them for the winter. They sun-dried fish when practical, but in
the rainy climate of the coastal area they also used smokehouses to preserve tons of fish and other seafood
annually. Each product had its own peculiar characteristics that demanded a particular way of cutting or
drying the meat, and each task required its own cutting blades and other utensils.
After drying the fish, the women pounded some of them into fish meal, which was an easily
transported food used in soups, stews, or other dishes to provide protein and thickening in the absence of
fresh fish or while on long trips. The women also made a cheese-like substance from a mixture of fish and
roe by aging it in storehouses or by burying it in wooden boxes or pits lined with rocks and tree leaves.

mainly discuss? A. Methods of food preservation B. How diet was restricted by the

foragers

A. It was first developed by Native Americans of the north Pacific Coast. B. It rarely existed among
hunting
C. It was a structure that the Native Americans of the north Pacific Coast shared with many other

Read the following newspaper article about an expedition and answer questions 45 – 50.
There are very few big adventures left and very few heroes. Children's stories used to specialize
in them – courageous explorers with sun-burnt, leathery skin and eyes narrowed by straining to see into
far horizons on their journeys into the unknown. These days you no longer find such people in
fiction, let alone in real life. Or so I thought until I met Charles Blackmore. Blakemore’s great
adventure consisted of leading an expedition across one of the last unexplored places on earth, the
Taklamakan Desert in western China. Its name means `once entered you never come out', but local
people call it the Desert of Death. He recalled the dangers and exhilaration of that amazing trek, in the
calm atmosphere of his family home.
The team he led was composed of four Britons (one of them the party' s medical officer), an
American photographer, four Chinese (all experts on the area), 30 camels and six camel handlers. It later
turned out that the camel handlers had never worked with camels before, but were long-distance
lorry drivers: a misunderstanding that could have cost everyone their lives and certainly jeopardized the
expedition's success. This mixed bunch set out to cross 1,200 kilometres of the world's least hospitable
desert and Charles Blackmore has written a mesmerizing account of their journey.
At the time, he was about to leave the Army after 14 happy years. He launched the
expedition for fun, to fill a gap in his life, to prove something. `I had always assumed I'd spend
my whole life in the Army. I had been offered promotion but suddenly I felt I wanted to see who Charles
159

Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
Blackmore really was, outside all that. It was a tremendous gamble. Tina, my wife, was very worried that
I wouldn't come back as nobody had ever done that route; we went into it blind. In the event, it took
59 days to cross from west to east, and the desert was very kind to us.'
Anyone reading his extraordinary account of that crossing will wonder at the use of the word `kind'.
The team suffered unspeakable hardships: dysentery; extremes of temperature; severe thirst and
dehydration; the loss of part of their precious water supply. `But', Blackmore explains, `when we were at the
limits of our own endurance and the camels had gone without water for seven days, we managed to find
some. We didn't experience the Taklamakan's legendary sandstorms. And we never hit the raw, biting
desert cold that would have totally immobilized us. That's not to say that we weren't fighting
against hurdles the whole time. The fine sand got into everything, especially blisters and wounds. The high
dunes were torture to climb, for us and for the heavily laden camels, which often rolled over onto us. `What
drove me on more than anything else was the need to survive. We had no contingency plan. Neither
our budget nor time allowed one. No aircraft ever flew over us.
Once we got into the sandhills we were completely on our own. `I knew I had the mental stamina for
the trip but I was very scared of my physical ability to do it. I remember day one — we sat at the edge of the
desert and it was such an inferno that you couldn't breathe. I thought, "We've got to do it now!" At that
moment I was a very scared man.'
If it was like that at the beginning, how did they feel towards the end? `When you've
walked for 1,000 kilometres you're not going to duck out. You've endured so much; you've got so
much behind you. We were very thin, but very muscular and sinewy despite our physical
exhaustion. My body was well-toned and my legs were like pistons. I could walk over anything.'
Midway through the book, Blackmore went on to describe lying in the desert gazing up at a full
moon, thinking of his family. How conscious was he of the ordeal it must have been for them? Inside me
there's someone trying to find peace with himself. When I have doubts about myself now, I go back to
the image of the desert and think, well, we managed to pull that together. As a personal achievement, I
feel prouder of that expedition than of anything else I've done. Yet in terms of a lifetime's
achievement, I think of my family and the happiness we share — against that yardstick, the desert
does not measure up, does not compare.'
Has Charles Blackmore found peace? `I yearn for the challenge — for the open spaces — the resolve
of it all. We were buoyed up by the sense of purpose. I find it difficult now to be part of the uniformity of
modem life.'
Question 56 Meeting Charles Blackmore changed the writer’s opinion about____.
A the content of children’s fiction. B the nature of desert exploration.

The fertile valleys of the river Nile straddle the hot desert land of Egypt. Rain is relatively scarce, and
the summers are scorching hot. Nevertheless the strip of land, known as the Cultivation, on either side of the
164
Tuyển tập 120 đề thi thử đại học môn Tiếng Anh năm 2014 (có đáp án kèm theo)
Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
Nile is reputed to be one of the most fertile places in the world. Its rich black soil is the result of
accumulation of silt deposited by the annual flooding of the Nile thousands of years ago. From June to
October, the river overflowed its banks. Modern damps were then constructed to control the flooding. The
floodwaters left behind a rich sticky black mud which made it suitable for the cultivation of crops. As long
as the soil was well irrigated, two or three crops could be grown in one season. Its rich soil led to the growth
and rise of the brilliant civilization of the ancient Egyptians on the Nile valley more than 5000 years ago.
The earliest Egyptians had acquired the skills to till the land along the banks, drawing along the Nile
became wealthy, they embarked on projects of digging ditches and constructing dams to control the floods.
In about 3100 BC, the whole Egypt was united under the reign of King Menes. He and his descendants
made up Egypt's first ruling family, or dynasty. His rule led to the great development of the arts like writing,
painting, architecture, and crafts. Egyptian power and influence were to last for the next 2000 years. The
Egyptian kings had absolute powers. The king possesses all the land, and the peasants had to surrender part
of their crops to the king. An army of officials and scribes did the task of collecting the exact amount of due
from the individual farmers. Crops and livestock were often seen at the storehouses surrounding the royal
palaces. In return for their uphill task, the king paid his officials and dishes out funds for huge irrigation
projects. Egypt's trade with the outside world stretches far and wide. In return for gold, copper, gemstones,
and building stones, it purchases the goods that it did not have. Timber, resins, oils, silver and slaves came
from Lebanon. From Deria and Anatolia came horses, while the blue stone called lapis lazuli was imported
from Mesopotamia. Strong forts were constructed to protect overland trade routes. Egypt held Nubia in the
south for almost 800 years. It served as Egypt's most vital source of gold and slaves.

A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the
atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetations, or materials adversely. Air

165
Tuyển tập 120 đề thi thử đại học môn Tiếng Anh năm 2014 (có đáp án kèm theo)
Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution
laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that
could be seen or smelled-a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As
technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list
of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under
certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides,
are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these pollutants were altered by various
chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycle. These serve as an air purification
scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil on a global basis, nature's
output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting form human activities. However, human production
usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city.
In this localized regions, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural
purification scheme of the cycle. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air.
The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the
pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a
substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase
this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide
has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level.
Carbon monoxide, however, as a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level
reaches about 15 ppm.
Question 61: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The economic impact of air pollution B. What constitutes an air pollutant
C. How much harm air pollutants can cause D. The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere
Question 62: The word "adversely" in line 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. negatively B. quickly C. admittedly D. considerably
Question 63: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that________.
A. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas B. most air pollutants today can be seen or
smelled
C. the definition of air pollution will continue to change D. a substance becomes an air pollutant only in
cities
Question 64: The word "altered" in line 10 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. eliminated B. caused C. slowed D. changed
Question 65 Natural pollutants can play an important role in controlling air pollution for which of the
following reasons?
A. They function as part of a purification process. B. They occur in greater quantities than other
pollutants.
C. They are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants. D. They have existed since the Earth
developed.
Question 66: According to the passage, which of the following is true about human-generated air pollution
in localized regions? A. It can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants in the localized region.
B. It can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants.
C. It will damage areas outside of the localized regions. D. It will react harmfully with naturally
occurring pollutants.
Question 67: The word "noxious' in line 16 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. harmful B. noticeable C. extensive D. weak
Question 68:According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only
useful if ____. A. the other substances in the area are known B. it is in a localized area
C. the naturally occurring level is also known D. it can be calculated quickly
Question 69: The word "detectable" in line 21 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. beneficial B. special C. measurable D. separable
Question 70: Which of the following is best supported by the passage?
A. To effectively control pollution local government should regularly review their air pollution laws.
B. One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws.
C. Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants.
D. Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution.

answer to each of the questions from number 36 to 45
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial
problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since man’s
inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend
that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand
its desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found.
The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is
open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is
largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having
adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word.
The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive
if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes.
So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to
hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down
the temperature is only 60 degrees.

C. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things D. very few large animals are found in the
desert
Question 39: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _____.
A. water-loving animals B. the coyote and the bobcat
C. moist-skinned animals D. many large animals
Question 40: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _____.

answer to each of the questions from number 46 to 50
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected
all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference
between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary
changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn all the other things they
learn to do without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own
performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we
never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him.
We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it
unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out,
with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem,
whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let
him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to
help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense
of grades, exam, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must
someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school
teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the
rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and
teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the
world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.
Question 46: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?
A. by copying what other people do B. by making mistakes and having them corrected
C. by listening to explanations from skilled people D. by asking a great many questions
Question 47: What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?
A. They give children correct answers B. They point out children’s mistakes to them
C. They allow children to mark their own work D. They encourage children to copy from one
another
Question 48: The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are____.
A. not really important skills B. more important than other skills
C. basically different from learning adult skills D. basically the same as learning other skills
Question 49: Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be
estimated by
A. educated persons B. the children themselves C. teachers D. parents
Question 50: The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are____.
A. too independent of others B. too critical of themselves
C. unable to think for themselves D. unable to use basic skills
Choose the sentence which is closest in meaning to the given one

Read the following passage and choose the right answer to each of the questions.
Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over
conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods- a
term whose meaning varies greatly- frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious
than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North
American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping
claims that the foods supply is unsafe or inadequate in the meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these
claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such
claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a
diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to
health have become widely publicized and formed the basic for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder
foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that
fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated
grains, and the like.
One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common is that they cost
more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe foods. So
there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular
food supply and buy expensive organic foods instead.
Question 66 The “welcome development” mentioned in paragraph 2 is an increase in ____.
A. interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans.
B. the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet.
C. the amount of healthy foods grown in North America.

Question 68. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy
organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because .
A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods.
B. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods.
C. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods.

correct word for each of the blanks.
Interpreting the feelings of other people is not always easy, as we all know, and we (71) ___ as much
on what they seem to be telling us, as on the actual words they say. Facial (72) ___ and tone of voice are
obvious ways of showing our (73) ___ to something, and it may well be that we unconsciously express
views that we are trying to hide. The art of being (74) ___ lies in picking up these signals, realizing what the
other person is trying to say, and acting so that they are not embarrassed in any way. For example, we may
understand that they are in fact (75) ___ to answer our question, and so we stop pressing them. Body
movements in general may also indicate feelings, and interviewers often pay particular attention to the way
a candidate for a job walks into the room and sits down. However it is not difficult to present the right kind
of appearance, while what many employers want to know relates to the candidate’s character traits, and (76)
___ stability. This raises the awkward question of whether job candidates should be asked to complete
psychological tests, and the further problem of whether such tests actually produce (77) ___ results. For
many people, being asked to take part in such a test would be an objectionable (78) ___ into their private
lives.

Charles A. Lindbergh is remembered as the first person to make a nonstop solo flight across the
Atlantic, in 1927. This feat, when Lindbergh was only twenty-five years old, assured him a lifetime of fame
and public attention.
Charles Augustus Lindbergh was more interested in flying airplanes than he was in studying. He
dropped out of the University of Wisconsin after two years to earn a living performing daredevil airplane
stunts at country fairs. Two years later, he joined the United States Army so that he could go to the Army
Aie Service flight-training school. After completing his training, he was hired to fly mail between St. Louis
and Chicago. Then came the historic flight across the Atlantic. In 1919, a New York City hotel owner
offered a prize of $25,000 to the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to Paris. Nine St. Louis business
leaders helped pay for the plane Lindbergh designed especially for the flight. Lindbergh tested the plane by
flying it from San Diego to New York, with an overnight stop in St. Louis. The flight took only 20hours and
21minutes, a transcontinental record.
Nine days later, on May 20, 1927, Lindbergh took off from Long Island, New York, at 7:52 a.m. He
landed at Paris on May 21 at 10:21 p.m. He had flown more than 3,600 miles in less than thirty four hours.
His flight made news around the world. He was given awards and parades everywhere he went. He was
presented with the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor and the first Distinguished Flying Cross. For a long
time, Lindbergh toured the world as a US goodwill ambassador. He met his future wife, Anne Morrow, in
Mexico, where her father was the United States ambassador.
During the 1930s, Charles and Anne Lindbergh worked for various airline companies, charting new
commercial air routes. In 1931, for a major airline, they charted a new route from the east coast of the
United States to the Orient. The shortest, most efficient route was a great curve across Canada, over Alaska,
and down to China and Japan. Most pilots familiar with the Arctic did not believe that such a route was
possible. The Lindberghs took on the task of proving that it was. They arranged for fuel and supplies to be
set out along the route. On July 29, they took off from Long Island in a specially equipped small seaplane.
They flew by day and each night landed on a lake or a river and camped. Near Nome, Alaska, they had their
first serious emergency. Out of daylight and nearly out of fuel, they were forced down in a small ocean
inlet. In the next morning’s light, they discovered they had landed on barely three feet of water. On
September 19, after two more emergency landings and numerous close calls, they landed in China with the
maps for a safe airline passenger route.
Even while actively engaged as a pioneering flier, Lindbergh was also working as an engineer. In
1935, he and Dr. Alexis Carrel were given a patent for an artificial heart. During World War I in the 1940s,
Lindbergh served as a civilian technical advisor in aviation. Although he was a civilian, he flew over fifty
combat missions in the Pacific. In the 1950s, Lindbergh helped design the famous 747 jet airliner. In the late
1960s, he spoke widely on conservation issues. He died August 1974, having lived through aviation history
from the time of the first powered flight to the first steps on the moon and having influenced a big part of
that history himself.
Câu 46: What did Lindbergh do before he crossed the Atlantic?
A. He acted as a technical advisor during World War II. B. He charted a route to China.
C. He graduated from flight-training school. D. He married Anne Morrow.
Câu 47: What happened immediately after Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic?
A. He left college. B. He flew the mail between St. Louis and Chicago.
C. He attended the Army flight-training school. D. He was given the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Câu 48: When did Charles meet Anne Morrow?
A. after he worked for an airline. B. after he received the first Distinguished Flying Cross.
C. before ho took off from Long Island. D. before he was forced down in an ocean inlet.
Câu 49: When did the Lindberghs map an air route to China?
A. Before they worked for an airline. B. Before Charles worked with Dr. Carrel.
C. While designing the 747. D. After World War II.
Câu 50: What event happened last?
A. Lindbergh patented an artificial heart. B. Lindbergh flew fifty combat missions.
C. Lindbergh helped design the 747 airline. D. The Lindberghs mapped a route to the Orient.

Read the passage and choose the best answer:
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he
foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of
dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to
people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature,
physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first
awards ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for
the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's
death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes
politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but
relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War 11. Some people
have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.

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 questions
This rapid transcontinental settlement and these new urban industrial circumstances of the last
half of the 19th century were accompanied by the development of a national literature of great
abundance and variety. New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new
audiences all emerged in the literature of this half century.

As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had
evolved remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the
late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest. No longer was it produced,
at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and
the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young
people the only central characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in
exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history
the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by
young, middle class women.

In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt
Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work,
each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world ... connecting an
American citizen with the citizens of all nations." At the same time, these years saw the
emergence of what has been designated "the literature of argument," powerful works in sociology,
philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform. Just as
America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political,
economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works.

Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, tha
illness or accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in
people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat inc
loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Pl
age too, but the signs are much harder to detect.

Most body plants grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach
peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradu
become lighter and more brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more flex
This can make moving very painful.

All the major organs of the body show signs aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and e
gets smaller in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have troubl
remembering recent events.

One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the h
They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body. This condition accou
directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart attack.

Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. There are g
differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age.
majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve c
and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out.

Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging - believe the wearing out of the body is contro
by a built - in biological time - clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow d
the process. This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.

Question 71. What is the main idea in the first paragraph? A. Signs of aging are easier to detect in animals
than in plants.
B. The outward signs of aging may be seen in old people.
C. Aging occurs in every living thing after it has reached maturity. D. Not all signs of aging
are visible.
Question 72. Which piece of information is given in the passage? A. Gerontologists can give man a
longer life.
B. Gerontologists are studying how they can slow down the process of aging.
C. Gerontologists have discovered that aging is controlled by a built- in biological time- clock.
D. Gerontologists can prevent diseases connected with aging.
Question 73. The human body begins to lose vigor and the ability to function efficiently ________ .
A. soon after reaching adulthood C. before reaching adulthood
B. during childhood D. in old age
Question 74. In old age, the bones ___________
A. become more flexible B. become heavier C. cause much pain D. break easily

The modern comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper war between giants of the
American press in the late nineteenth century. The first full-color comic strip appeared January 1894 in the
New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer. The first regular weekly full-color comic supplement, similar
to today’s Sunday funnies, appeared two years later, in William Randolph Hearst’s rival New York paper,
the Morning Journal.
Both were immensely popular and publishers realized that supplementing the news with comic relief
boosted the sale of papers. The Morning Journal started another feature in 1896, the “Yellow Kid”, the first
continuous comic character in the United States, whose creator, Richard Outcault, had been lured away
from the World by the ambitious Hearst. The “Yellow Kid” was in many ways a pioneer. Its comic dialogue
was the strictly urban farce that came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech balloon inside
the strip, usually placed above the characters’ heads.
The first strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was Rudolph Dirks’s “Katzenjammer
Kids”, based on Wilhelm Busch’s Max and Moritz, a European satire of the nineteenth century. The “Kids”
strip, first published in 1897, served as the prototype for future American strips. It contained not only
speech balloons, but a continuous cast of characters, and was divided into small regular panels that did away
with the larger panoramic scenes of earlier comics.
Newspaper syndication played a major role in spreading the popularity of comic strips throughout
the country. Though weekly colored comics came first, daily black-and-white strips were not far behind.
The first appeared in the Chicago American in 1904. It was followed by many imitators, and by 1915 black-
and-white comic strips had become a staple of daily newspapers around the country.

way

A. story B. humor C. drawing D. model

A. regular feature B. popular edition C. new version D. huge success
Question 45. The word “incorporate” is closest in meaning to __________ .
A. affect B. create C. combine D. mention
Question 46. Why does the author mention Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst?
A. They established New York’s first newspaper. B. They published comic strips about the
newspaper war.
C. Their comic strips are still published today. D. They owned major competitive newspapers.

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to
the environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling
movement is “ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”.
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stories, a shopper has to buy products in blisters packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that
are wrapped simply, and reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality
products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones- a loss
of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys high-quality appliance that can be
easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a
product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to manufacturers. To reduce
garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they can return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum
(for new cans), they help save one of the world’s precious resources.

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.

what happen? A. The nerve fibers bundle together B. The optic nerves split
C. The retina receives light waves D. Input from the left field goes to the
right side.

History books record that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or
"talkies", did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in
1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small
band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy- sound-effects machines. Research into sound
that was reproduced at exactly the same time as the pictures – called "synchronized sound" – began soon
after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing
and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and
dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could
become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector
changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence. In the "sound-on-film"
system, sounds were recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor.
These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature
films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us "talking pictures".
Question 11: The passage is mainly about the______.
A. history of silent movies B. disadvantages of synchronized sound
C. development of sound with movies D. research into sound reproduction

A. projections B. revelations C. demonstrations D. diversions

A. a jazz singer B. a single pianist C. a small band D. a gramophone
Question 15: It can be inferred that______ .
A. most movie theatres had a pianist B. sound-effects machines were not common because they
were expensive
C. orchestras couldn't synchronize sound with pictures
D. gramophones were developed about the same time as moving pictures
Question 16: According to the passage, gramophones were ineffective because they ______.
A. got out of synchronization with the picture B. were too large for most movie theatres
C. were newly invented and still had imperfections D. changed speeds when the needle
jumped
Question 17: The word "sequence" is closest in meaning to ______.
A. interpretation B. progression C. distribution D. organization
Question 18: The phrase "these signals" refers to______.
A. sounds B. series C. marks D. sensors
Question 19: According to the passage, sound-on-film guaranteed synchronization because the recording
was____.
A. made during the filming of the picture B. read by an optical sensor
C. inserted beside the image on the film D. marked on the gramophone
Question 20: Short feature films produced as early as 1922 ______ .
A. were recorded by optical sensors B. put musicians out of work
C. were only effective for dialogue sequences D. preceded talking pictures

Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
Today's cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of
the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile
engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity,
compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-
emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other
dependable source of current is available, transportation experts foresee a new assortment of electric
vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars,
electric delivery vans, bikes, and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are
focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging
facilities will need to be as common as today's gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in
commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they
stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in
transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses, and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at
transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety
of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline
hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five
times the number of vehicles that can be carried by a freeway today.
Question 21:. The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage except ______
A. vans. B. trains. C. planes. D. trolleys.
Question 22: The author's purpose in the passage is to ______
A. criticize conventional vehicles. B. support the invention of electric cars.
C. narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles.
D. describe the possibilities for transportation in the future.
Question 23: The passage would most likely be followed by details about ______
A. automated freeways. B. pollution restrictions in the future.
C. the neighborhood of the future. D. electric shuttle buses.
Question 24:. The word "compact" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______
A. long-range. B. inexpensive. C. concentrated. D. squared.
Question 25: In the second paragraph the author implies that ______
A. a dependable source of electric energy will eventually be developed.
B. everyday life will stay much the same in the future.
C. a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several modes of transportation
D. electric vehicles are not practical for the future.
Question 26: According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will be ______
A. more convenient than they are today. B. equipped with charging devices.
C. much larger than they are today D. as common as today's gas stations.
Question 27: The word "charging" in this passage refers to ______
A. electricity. B. credit cards. C. aggression. D. lightning.
Question 28: The word "foresee" in this passage could best be replaced with ______
A. count on. B. invent. C. imagine. D. rely on.
Question 29: The word "commuters" in paragraph 4 refers to ______
A. daily travelers B. visitors C cab drivers. D. shoppers.

Traditional education creates, in time, an incomplete image on family’s gender roles. From generation
to generation
children interiorize theirs parent’s model known as “separated world’s myth” – a wife and a mother only
cooking ,doing laundry and taking care of the child “contrasting” with a husband and a father working or
202
Tuyển tập 120 đề thi thử đại học môn Tiếng Anh năm 2014 (có đáp án kèm theo)
Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
fixing different things.
According to this mentality each partner has established responsibilities in private and public life
that other one couldn’t take over.
Changing traditional gender roles seems to be difficult not because woman or man don’t have the
necessary skills
for other one’s tasks but because everyone carries on a symbol of his “world”. Society’s evolution
especially on woman valorization redefines gender roles promoting a woman more active, ambitious and
independent and a man more emotional and involved in household tasks.
Women of our days have more liberty to choose between the “family model” – these ones are being
more obedient
and anchored in tradition (the feminine type) and the “feminist model” – who’s priority is the career
(the anti-feminine type) or the middle model adopted by the “double career” type of woman – profession
and family. On the base of any of these choices are variables like social-status, race, education level,
culture’s values etc.
We are assisting to a reprioritization of woman needs and so professional success became
more interesting and even attractive than family one probably because it brings something new.
Women are motivated to choose the career by elements as the wish for financial independency, the
need to prove her capacities, to open and better integrate in modern society and the possibility to
control and not being only controlled. All this reasons offer her a psychological equilibrium.
Most of the men consider women’s career as a conflict source having arguments like: women
will neglect theirs family attributions, the imminent change of man’s authority, his incertitude concerning
the professional competition and the risk to deteriorate the marital relation. Even at first side man and
children are felling the stress generated by the new status of woman, she’s living an interior conflict as
well. Woman need to understand her need for self-accomplishment but the remains of traditional mentality
still affect her modern vision.
So our children should make a difference on gender roles perspective but we are in a vicious circle
because every family is raising their kids for a passed time, influenced by their own mentality and resistance
to change. The main idea is that both women and men should consider this role’s exchange like a challenge
and also accept that a man as well as a woman can do anything with willing.

Read the following passage extracted from www.asiatravel.com and select the best answer to each
question below. Then mark the letter (A), (B), (C) or (D) on your answer sheet.
Culture Shock is not something that people generally get on a holiday but as soon as your boss calls
you into the office and says "Hi John, we value you so much we want you to head our Hong Kong
operations!" you really need
to start thinking about the implications and how you are going to avoid this condition. It is not so
much as a life threatening disease, but it can lead to some very serious problems if you do not take a few
precautions.
Culture shock is definitely a serious condition that needs to be watched, and checked upon. I
personally have suffered from it on numerous occasions and sleep deprivation, mood swings, and
depression are all in there.
Travelling to a new destination with unusual habits and traditions can be a very traumatic
experience. A little research before you leave will help tremendously but the most important thing is to
actually leave with an open mind. A lot of people fly off without any research and expect things to be done
in exactly the same way and at the same speed as they were at home. Well this just isn't going to happen.
And it is very important to try to understand the culture religion and people of the country that you are
travelling to.
The culture shock selection of books are a very good starting place, but one that you will not really
understand fully until you are actually in the country mingling with the locals. One interesting point of this
can be found in the book Culture Shock Thailand. Thai people are among the nicest people in the world but
it is a very different world from, let's say, the UK. The book explains a good deal about Thai culture and
traditions and it explains how Thais smile their way out of an embarrassing situation and look down on
those that don't. The book then puts this into a couple of different examples to try to ensure that the reader
understands. One such example is that if you are walking down the street and someone throws dirty water
over you from a doorway, you should smile at the person that did this, showing your forgiveness. This
should help clear the air and the person will most likely go out of their way to help you clean up. Imagine
this happening in London! Thais shy away from confrontation, and this is one of the many aspects that
make them such a happy and kind nation.
If as an expatriate you are moving to a country with severe Culture Shock such as perhaps Cambodia,
or Vietnam,
then even more research would be needed. Nowadays you can possibly do a lot more research than ever
with the growth of the internet. You can see pictures of pretty much every destination in the world and even
read restaurant, hotel and bar reviews without having even left your office. It is also advisable to stay away
from a lot of the other expats especially before you leave and while after you arrive in the destination. A lot
of expats can be very negative about a country, even though they continue to stay there and this is not
something that you need when you have just travelled half way around the world. Instead, leave with an
open mind and make your own judgments about the place after you have started to understand it a little.
One of the biggest causes, though, of Culture Shock is language. It will make an enormous amount
205
Tuyển tập 120 đề thi thử đại học môn Tiếng Anh năm 2014 (có đáp án kèm theo)
Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
of difference to you if you learn a little or as much as possible of the local language before you leave. Take
up classes and practice it as much as you can; if you are studying Thai, eat out at Thai restaurants and try to
practice your Thai. This small step will make your life a lot simpler and will also give you immediate
respect when you arrive in the foreign country, not to mention open many new doors. If you show an
interest in the other person’s language and culture they will show an interest in you.
If you are being relocated by your company, try to find out a little about the living conditions in that
country and the package that the company offers you. Will they supply you with hotel accommodation or
will you be straight into an apartment or house? Are you given a housing allowance and allowed to choose
the accommodation yourself? Will the company pay the deposits that the landlord requires? Will you have
maids? What about a car? How many return trips will you have a year to your home country? Will they be
in economy or business class? What about your family rights - the wife - the husband - the children? How
long is the posting for? Will the company pay for repatriation due to illness, or unemployment? Do they
have limits to the amount of furniture that you can send over but most importantly bring back?
Will they cover these charges? Do they have any restrictions as to how you send these things? Do they
offer you insurance that is suitable for the country that you are travelling to?
When you arrive it is important to fit in, get a feel for the place, the smells and the sounds. I
would suggest just walking for a day or two experiencing the mystique of the new land you have just
discovered. After a while when you are feeling a little more at home join a club, and make friends socially
outside of your regular work patterns, and try to meet and befriend as many locals a you can, so that you
will really get a deeper understanding of where you and most probably appreciate the differences in culture
a lot more.
Culture Shock basically comes from a lack of understanding and built up anxiety, and can be caused
by the most
minute things, building up. One time in Hong Kong a colleague seemed to be literally screaming at the
waitress in
Cantonese, I was very anxious and asked what was wrong, my colleague looked very confused as
to why I was asking the question and she simply replied that she was ordering some water!
All in all every expat has had his or her bad days, and there are times you just want to get on a plane and
fly back,
however these days are minimal compared to the fun, and amazing discoveries that you will make. Once
you are bitten by the spirit and feeling of adventure you are about to embark on, you will have more
difficulty believe it or not, returning "home" than you imagined especially the longer you stay away.

correct answer for each of the questions from 7 to 16
Canadian English is a regional variety of North American English that spans almost the
entire continent. Canadian English became a separate variety of North American English after the
American Revolution, when thousands of Loyalists, people who had supported the British, left the
United States and fled north to Canada. Many Loyalists settled in southern Ontario in the 1780s,
and their speech became the basis for what is called General Canadian, a definition based on the
norms of urban middle-class speech.
Modern Canadian English is usually defined by the ways in which it resembles and differs from American
or British English. Canadian English has a great deal in common with the English spoken in the United
States, yet many Americans identify a Canadian accent as British. Many American visitors to Canada think
the Canadian vocabulary sounds British – for example, they notice the British “tap” and “braces” instead of
the American “faucet” and “suspenders”. On the other hand, many British people identify a Canadian accent
as American, and British visitors think the Canadians have become Americanized, saying “gas” and “truck”
for “petrol” and “lorry”.
People who live outside North America often find it difficult to hear the differences between
Canadian and American English. There are many similarities between the two varieties, yet they are far
from identical. Canadian English is instantly recognizable to other Canadians, and one Canadian in a
crowded room will easily spot the other Canadian among the North Americans.
There is no distinctive Canadian grammar. The differences are mainly in pronunciation, vocabulary,
and idioms. Canadian pronunciation reflects the experience of a people struggling for national identity
against two strong influences. About 75 per cent of Canadians use the English “zed” rather than the
American “zee” for the name of the last letter of the alphabet. On the other hand, 75 per cent of Canadians
use the American pronunciation of “schedule”, “tomato”, and “missile”. The most obvious and distinctive
feature of Canadian speech is probably its vowel sound, the diphthong “/ou/”. In Canada, “out” is
pronounced like “oat” in nearby U.S. accents. There are other identifying features of Canadian vowels: for
example, “cot” is pronounced the same as “caught” and “collar” the same as “caller”.
An important characteristic of the vocabulary of Canadian English is the use of many words and phrases
originating in Canada itself, such as “kerosene” and “chesterfield” (“sofa”). Several words are borrowed
from North American Indian languages, for example, “kayak”, “caribou”, “parka”, and “skookum”
(“strong”). The name of the country itself has an Indian origin; the Iroquois word “kanata” originally meant
“village”. A number of terms for ice hockey – “face-off”, “blue-line”, and “puck” – have become part of
World Standard English.

Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
Some features of Canadian English seem to be unique and are often deliberately identified with
Canadian speakers in such contexts as dramatic and literary characterizations. Among the original Canadian
idioms, perhaps the most famous is the almost universal use of “eh?” as a tag question, as in “That’s a good
movie, eh?” “Eh” is also used as a filler during a narrative, as in “I’m walking home from work, eh, and I’m
thinking about dinner. I finally get home, eh, and the refrigerator is empty.”
The traditional view holds that there are no dialects in Canadian English and that Canadians cannot
tell where other Canadians are from just by listening to them. The linguists of today disagree with this view.
While there is a greater degree of homogeneity in Canadian English compared with American English,
several dialect areas do exist across Canada. Linguists have identified distinct dialects for the Maritime
Provinces, Newfoundland, the Ottawa Valley, southern Ontario, the Prairie Provinces, the Arctic North, and
the West.

Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In
fact, the U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were
being homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate,
211
Tuyển tập 120 đề thi thử đại học môn Tiếng Anh năm 2014 (có đáp án kèm theo)
Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
and the ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven
percent every year.
At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally used for
students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today,
however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due
to their dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class size, as
well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many
schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students. The children are, therefore, deprived
of the attention they need. Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to
remove their children from school.
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S.
has become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now
plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable
them to learn more about educating their children. Though once it was the only choice for troubled
children, homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many
believe is failing.
Question 39: The number of parents who want to teach their own children in the U.S. is _____.
A. remaining unchanged B. remaining the same C. going up D. going down
Question 40: The past participle “homeschooled” in the first paragraph is best equivalent to “_____at
home”.
A. taught B. self-learned C. untaught D. self-studied
Question 41: This estimated number was presented by _____.
A. a governmental office B. school teachers C. the parents D. homeschooled children
Question 42: According to some experts, the exact number of homeschooled children then must be _____.
A. 1,600,000 B. 850,000 C. 1,900,000 D. 1,700,000
Question 43: The closest synonym of the participle phrase “accounting for” in the second paragraph is
“_____”.
A. explaining B. reasoning C. counting for D. calculating documents
of
Question 44: More parents teach their children because they completely _____ the current educational

The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia (bách khoa toàn thư) Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give
everyone on the planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of
information: more than 2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject.
Unlike other encyclopedias, however, Wikipedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These
writers are not paid and their names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they
want to share their knowledge.
Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human knowledge.
The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education”. Real popularity for
encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the publication of
encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount of
217
Tuyển tập 120 đề thi thử đại học môn Tiếng Anh năm 2014 (có đáp án kèm theo)
Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to create an
online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However, even Internet-
based encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild of Jimmy
Wales, a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these. In 2001, he had the idea for an Internet-
based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore, that
information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time.
But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the
articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long
time to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical (gốc, căn bản) new way, so
that everyone would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this
information online. To do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for
“fast”), which allows users to create or alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you
open the web site, you can simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of
articles. If you find an article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or
expand it. This process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes.

A. book B. journal C. article D. dictionary

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 questions from 61 to 70
Fiberscopes (máy ép sợi) are one of the most are one of the most important outcomes of the science
of fiber optics. Fibers made of glass and transparent acrylic (sợi) plastic are capable of conveying light
energy, and when thousands of these fibers are combined in what is called a fiberscope, they can transmit
images. The most common fiberscopes contain about 750,000 fibers, each 0.001 centimeter, or 10 microns
(micro met), in diameter. For certain uses, the diameter of the fiber may be as small as 5 microns.
Fiberscopes have a wide range of applications. In the medical field, physicians use fiberscopes to
examine internal organs and as an aid in delicate (tinh vi) surgeries. Miniature probes (máy siêu âm) have
also been developed to view muscle fiber, skin tissue, and blood cells. Fiberscopes have also found varied
uses in industry, particularly to inspect or control operations in inaccessible areas. Bundles of fiberscopes
fused together in a solid plate, called a faceplate, are being used in the manufacture of television tubes and
other cathode-ray tube devices.
The most far reaching applications of fiber-optic technology are in communication. Optical fibers
carry voice messages for telephone service. The sound of the voice is electronically broken down into
thousands of pulses per second, which causes a transmitting laser to send coordinated pulses of light
through the optical fibers. At the receiving end, the light pulses are converted to electrical signals and the

Paul Watson is an environmental activist. He is a man who believes that he must do something, not
just talk about doing something. Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and he protects them in
controversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much. Other people think
that he is a criminal.
On July 16th, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea Shepherd.
222

Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal.
However, they had a strange prey (mồi, mẹo); instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the
Sierra. The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never returned to
the sea. The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada. Paul Watson and his workers
thought that they had been successful.
The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crew of the
Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many whales as

Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra. However,

The coffee plant is actually a large shrub (bụi), or bush, not really a tree. It can grow very tall (from
three to nine meters) if it is left alone in the wild. It has dark green leaves on the outside and lighter green
leaves underneath. Small white blossoms appear on the leaves, making the coffee plant look like it’s
covered with snow. After a few days, the Fragrant blossoms (hoa thơm) fall off the plant, and small berries
begin to grow. The berries change from green to dark red in about six months. Underneath the berry skin
there is a green bean. When the berries are ripe, they are picked, and the bean inside is removed. This is the
bean that produces coffee. Coffee beans are picked by hand, one by one. Then they are dried and prepared
for market. Coffee beans are shipped all over the world. When they reach their destination, different coffee
beans are blended together to produce different kinds of coffee. Then the beans are roasted, ground and
packaged in air-tight cans and bags to keep the coffee fresh. Different countries prefer different blends ( pha
trộn). In Turkey and Arabia, dark coffee is preferred. In the United States and Canada, the coffee is not so
dark. Coffee is also prepared and served differently all over the world. In some places, it is made very thick

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 questions from 61 - 70. MODERN SURGERY
The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a
severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational
fear of hospitals and anesthetics(gây mê). Patients do not often believe they really need surgery - cutting
into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs.
In the early years of the twentieth century there was little specialization in surgery. A good surgeon
was capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to that time. Today the situation
is different, operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of 60 years ago. The heart can
be safely opened and its valves repaired. Clogged (ngẽn) blood vessels (mạch, ống) can be cleaned out, and
broken ones mended or replaced. A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and
still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is
qualified to carry out every type of modern operation.
The scope of surgery has increased remarkably. Its safety has increased too. The hospital stay after
surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations.
Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible. They include the replacement of
damaged blood vessels with stimulated ones made of plastic; the replacement of heart valves with plastic
substitutes; the transplanting of tissues such as the lens of the eye; the invention of the artificial kidney to
clean the blood of poisons at regular intervals and the development of heart and lung machines to keep
patients alive during very long operations. All these things open a hopeful vista (viễn cảnh) for the future of
surgery.
One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a few
years ago, no person, except an identical twin, was able to accept into his body the tissues of smother person
without reacting against them and eventually killing them. Recently, however, it has been discovered that
with the use of x-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will
survive for periods of a year or more. Kidneys have been successfully transplanted between non-identical
twins. Heart and lung transplants have been reasonably successful in animals, though rejection problems in
humans have yet to be solved.
'Spare parts' surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a
dream of the distant future. As yet, surgery is not ready for such miracles. In the meantime, you can be
happy if your doctor says to you. 'Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.'
Question 61: Most people are afraid of being operated on ____.
A. in spite of improvements in modern surgery B. because they think modern drugs are
dangerous
C. because they do not believe they need anesthetics D. unless it is an emergency operation
th
Question 62: Surgeons in the early years of the 20 century, compared with modern ones, ____.
A. had less to learn about surgery B. need more knowledge
C. could perform every operation known today D. were more trusted by their patients
Question 63: Open heart surgery has been possible ____.
A. only in the last sixty years B. from prehistoric times
C. since the nineteenth century D. since the invention of valves
Question 64: A patient can still live a comfortable and satisfactory life, even after the removal of ____.
A. his brain B. his lungs C. a major organ such as the stomach or one lung
D. part of the stomach or the whole liver
Question 65: Modern surgeons ____.
A. do not like to perform operations of the new type B. are not as highly qualified as the older
ones
C. are obliged to specialise more than their predecessors
D. often perform operations which are not really needed

valves

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 questions from 71-80. Pandemic (dịch bẹnh)
Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too
quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources. So in a way, diseases are nature's way of
keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For
example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six
months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In
1918, a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread
very quickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases
throughout history, all of them have a few things in common.
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may
kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this would be the
Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70-
80% of all the people who get the Marburg virus die from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not
become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the
virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other
hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread.
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors
carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002 and 2003,
doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a
pandemic.
Question 71: This passage is mainly about ____. A. how to prevent pandemic diseases. B. pandemic
diseases.
C. pandemic diseases throughout history. D. why pandemics happen.
Question 72: According to paragraph 1, how are diseases a natural part of life on Earth?
A. They prevent pandemics. B. They help control the population.
C. They help the world grow quickly. D. They kill too many people.
Question 73: Based on the information in the passage the term pandemics can best be explained as ___.
A. diseases with no cure C. diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of
people
B. a deadly kind of flu D. new diseases like SARS or the Marburg virus
Question 74: According to the passage, what causes pandemics?
A. Changes in a disease that the body cannot fight B. Careless doctors who do not watch the
spread of diseases
C. Population growth that the world cannot support D. The failure to make new medicines
Question 75: According to the passage, all of the following are true of the 1918 flu pandemic EXCEPT that
____.
A. it involved a new kind of flu virus B. it killed over 25 million people
C. it was the last pandemic in history D. it took a little over a week to kill its victims
Question 76: The word it in the passage refers to ____.
A. disease B. flu virus C. pandemics D. bodies
Question 77: Which of the following is mentioned as a common feature of all pandemic diseases?
A. They spread from people to people very slowly. B. They may kill many people very
quickly.
C. They do not kill people very quickly. D. They kill all the victims.
Question78: According to paragraph 3, why hasn't Marburg virus become a pandemic?

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial
problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since man’s
inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend
235

Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its
desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found.
The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is
open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is
largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having
adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word.
The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive
if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes.
So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to
hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down
the temperature is only 60 degrees.

A. “Desert Plants” B. “Life Underground”
C. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” D. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”

A. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert B. water is an essential part of his existence
C. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things D. very few large animals are found in
the desert
Question 44: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _____.
A. water-loving animals B. the coyote and the bobcat
C. moist-skinned animals D. many large animals
Question 45: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _____.
A. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals B. live in an accommodating environment
C. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest

C. “structures made of metal bars in which animals or birds are kept”
D. “places where a particular type of animal or plant is normally found”

answer to each of the questions from number 51 to 55
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being
corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the
difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the
necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn all the other
things they learn to do without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own
performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we
never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him.
We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it
unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out,
236
Tuyển tập 120 đề thi thử đại học môn Tiếng Anh năm 2014 (có đáp án kèm theo)
Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem,
whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book.
Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should
be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this
nonsense of grades, exam, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated
persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do
not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school
teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the
rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and
teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the
world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.
Question 51: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?
A. by copying what other people do B. by making mistakes and having them corrected
C. by listening to explanations from skilled people D. by asking a great many questions
Question 52: What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?

another

Read the following passage and choose the right answer to each of the questions.
Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over
conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods- a
term whose meaning varies greatly- frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious
than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North
American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping
claims that the foods supply is unsafe or inadequate in the meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these
claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such
claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a
diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to
health have become widely publicized and formed the basic for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder
foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that
fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated
grains, and the like.
One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common is that they cost
more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe foods. So
there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular
food supply and buy expensive organic foods instead.
Question 76 The “ welcome development” mentioned in paragraph 2 is an increase in____.
A. interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans.
B. the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet.
C. the amount of healthy foods grown in North America. D. the number of consumers in North
America.
Question 77. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term “organic
foods”?
238

Question 78. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy
organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because .
A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods.
B. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods.
C. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods.
D. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops.
Question 79. According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than
conventionally grown foods are often . A. careless B. mistaken C. thrifty
D. wealthy
Question 80. What is the author’s attitude towards the claims made by advocates of health foods?
A. Very enthusiastic B. Skeptical C. Neutral D. Somewhat
favorable

VI. 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 questions from 46 to 56 .
A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake ,one of the
world’s largest and deepest , lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice .Now known as Lake Vostok,
this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica . The lake is able to exist in
its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the
earth’s core .The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the
surface .
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of
the area .Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of
indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware
of the tremendous size of the lake ; the satellite –borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice
remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake .
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the
scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for
thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet
light that have affected organism in more exposed areas .The downside of the discovery, however, lies in
the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with
obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination.
Scientists are looking for possible way to accomplish this.
Câu 46: The word “hidden” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to____
A. unexploitable B. untouched C. undicovered D. undrinkable
Câu 47: What is true of Lake Vostok ?

C. It is a saltwater lake. D. It is completely frozen.
Câu 48: Which of the following is closest in meaning to “frigid” in paragraph 1?
A. easily broken B. quite harsh C. lukewarm D. extremely cold

There are thousands of types of animals on earth, but only few types are popular as pets. People
usually keep pets for company. The most common pets are cats and dogs. But why did people choose these
two animals and not, for example, pigs, or chickens? The most likely explanation is that dogs and cats have
special qualities which have always made them more suitable as animal companions. Some of these
qualities are easy to understand. For example, dogs and cats do not need to be kept in cages in order to
remain close to their owners. They are also both very clean-living animals. They are active during the day,
the same time that people are usually active. The physical size of dogs and cats is another important reason
for their success as companions. They are a good size, since most cats and dogs are not so large that they are
dangerous, and not so small that they are unnoticeable. These qualities mean that dogs and cats can live
quite comfortably with human. They do not disturb people's routines or change their way of life. But there is
another reason why these two animals are the most popular pets. Most people need to feel loved and
wanted, and cats and dogs make people feel wanted. Cats and dogs need people as well. They show this
through the noises they make and they way they like being touched. To someone who doesn't like animals,
keeping a pet probably seems like a lot of trouble. They need to be fed regularly and exercised, and they can
be noisy and expensive. But for pet owners, these disadvantages are not important, because of the friendship
that pets offer. Clearly, cats and dogs will continue to be the most popular pets.
71. People usually keep _____.
A. thousands of pets. B. many types of animals. C. pets for company D. special
animals
72. One quality that cats and dogs have in common is that both_____.
A. need to be kept in cages. B. are very clean animals C. are active at night-time D. like their
owners.
73. One reasons that cats and dogs are such popular pets is that they are _____.
A. the right age. B. very physical C. a dangerous size. D. the right
size.
74. People like living with dogs and cats because _____.
A. pets and people like doing the same thing B. they do not disturb people
C. people do not disturb their pets' routines. D. neither needs to feel loved and wanted.
75. Both people and animals _____.
A. need to be loved and wanted. C. are a lot of trouble to keep.
B. need owners to look after them. D. need to be exercised regularly.

There was a surprise victory at the World Championship yesterday. British 400 meter runner Bob
Smith won the title in the third fastest time ever. The British champion, who won the silver medal at the last
Olympics, finished the race in 43.6 seconds. From the start, it was clear that this race was not going to be
like any others. After two false start, the athletes finally broke away from the starting line on the third
attempt. Smith took an early lead, and maintained his speed for almost 200 meters. Then Michael Ball, from
West Africa, came up from behind to take the lead. He was still leading right up until the final 20 meters. At
this point, Smith was in third place and didn't look likely to win. Then Ball suddenly tripped and fell over
onto the inside track. He fell into the path of Richard Dandie, his West African team-mate, who had been in
second place. Dandie couldn't jump over Ball in time, and instead ran into him, also falling over. It was at
this point that Smith took the lead to safely cross the finish line. There was no doubt that it was a lucky win
for Smith. He would have come third if the two athletes had not tripped.

answer to each of the following questions
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of
wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C . Despite its antiquity, certain
aspects of its construction makes it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre structure near
the Nile river is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden
passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four
sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west-an incredible engineering
feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great
Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines.
Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past, present and future. .
Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are
prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have

Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
Baseball evolved from a number of different ball-and stick games (paddle ball, trap ball, one-old-
cat, rounders, and town ball) originating in England. As early as the American Revolution. It was noted that
troops played “baseball” in their free time. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright formalized the New York
Knickerbockers’ version of the game: a diamond shaped infield, with bases ninety feet apart, three strikers –
you’re – out , batter out on a caught ball , three outs per inning , a nine man team. “The New York Game”
spread rapidly , replacing earlier localized forms. From its beginnings, baseball was seen as a way of
satisfying the recreational needs of an increasingly urban – industrial society. At its inception it was it was
played by and for gentlemen. A club might consists of 40 members. The president would appoint two
captains who would choose teams from among the members. Games were played on Monday and Thursday
afternoons, with the losers often providing a lavish evening’s entertainments for the winners
During the 1850- 70 period the game was changing, however, with increasing commercialism
(charging admission), under – the – table payments to exceptional to players, and gambling on the outcome
of games. By 1868 it was said that a club would have their regular professional ten, an amateur first - nine ,
and their” muffins “ (the gently duffers who once ran the game) . Beginning with the first openly all –
salaried team (Cincinnati’s Red Stocking Club) in 1869, the 1870- 1890 period saw the complete
professionalization of baseball, including formation of the National Association of Professional baseball
players in 1871. The National League of Professional Baseball Clubs was formed in 1876, run by business-
minded invertors in joint-stock company clubs. The 1880s has been called Major League Baseball’s
“Golden Age”. Profits soared, player’s salaries rose somewhat, a season of 84 games became one of 132, a
weekly periodical “ The sporting News” came into being, wooden stadiums with double-deck stands
replaced open fields, and the standard refreshment became hot dogs, soda pop and peanuts. In 1900 the
Western League based in the growing cities of the Mid-west proclaimed itself the American League.

Canadian English is a regional variety of North American English that spans almost the entire
continent. Canadian English became a separate variety of North American English after the American
Revolution, when thousands of Loyalists, people who had supported the British, left the United States and
fled north to Canada. Many Loyalists settled in southern Ontario in the 1780s, and their speech became the
basis for what is called General Canadian, a definition based on the norms of urban middle-class speech.
Modern Canadian English is usually defined by the ways in which it resembles and differs from
American or British English. Canadian English has a great deal in common with the English spoken in the
United States, yet many Americans identify a Canadian accent as British. Many American visitors to
Canada think the Canadian vocabulary sounds British – for example, they notice the British “tap” and
“braces” instead of the American “faucet” and “suspenders”. On the other hand, many British people
identify a Canadian accent as American, and British visitors think the Canadians have become
Americanized, saying “gas” and “truck” for “petrol” and “lorry”.
People who live outside North America often find it difficult to hear the differences between
Canadian and American English. There are many similarities between the two varieties, yet they are far
from identical. Canadian English is instantly recognizable to other Canadians, and one Canadian in a
crowded room will easily spot the other Canadian among the North Americans.
There is no distinctive Canadian grammar. The differences are mainly in pronunciation, vocabulary,
and idioms. Canadian pronunciation reflects the experience of a people struggling for national identity
against two strong influences. About 75 per cent of Canadians use the English “zed” rather than the

258
Tuyển tập 120 đề thi thử đại học môn Tiếng Anh năm 2014 (có đáp án kèm theo)
Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
American “zee” for the name of the last letter of the alphabet. On the other hand, 75 per cent of Canadians
use the American pronunciation of “schedule”, “tomato”, and “missile”. The most obvious and distinctive
feature of Canadian speech is probably its vowel sound, the diphthong “/ou/”. In Canada, “out” is
pronounced like “oat” in nearby U.S. accents. There are other identifying features of Canadian vowels: for
example, “cot” is pronounced the same as “caught” and “collar” the same as “caller”.
An important characteristic of the vocabulary of Canadian English is the use of many words and
phrases originating in Canada itself, such as “kerosene” and “chesterfield” (“sofa”). Several words are
borrowed from North American Indian languages, for example, “kayak”, “caribou”, “parka”, and
“skookum” (“strong”). The name of the country itself has an Indian origin; the Iroquois word “kanata”
originally meant “village”. A number of terms for ice hockey – “face-off”, “blue-line”, and “puck” – have
become part of World Standard English.
Some features of Canadian English seem to be unique and are often deliberately identified with
Canadian speakers in such contexts as dramatic and literary characterizations. Among the original Canadian
idioms, perhaps the most famous is the almost universal use of “eh?” as a tag question, as in “That’s a good
movie, eh?” “Eh” is also used as a filler during a narrative, as in “I’m walking home from work, eh, and I’m
thinking about dinner. I finally get home, eh, and the refrigerator is empty.”
The traditional view holds that there are no dialects in Canadian English and that Canadians cannot
tell where other Canadians are from just by listening to them. The linguists of today disagree with this view.
While there is a greater degree of homogeneity in Canadian English compared with American English,
several dialect areas do exist across Canada. Linguists have identified distinct dialects for the Maritime
Provinces, Newfoundland, the Ottawa Valley, southern Ontario, the Prairie Provinces, the Arctic North, and
the West.

answer for each of the questions from 39 to 48
Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In fact, the
U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being
homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of
homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every year.
At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally used for
students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today, however, more
parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due to their dissatisfaction
with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as problems inside the
classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for
thirty or forty students. The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need. Escalating
classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school.
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S. has
become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now plenty of
websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn
more about educating their children. Though once it was the only choice for troubled children,
homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing.

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech.
When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions
stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf and the mute have had to resort to this form of
expression. Many of these symbols of the whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used
internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions,
either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only
joking . A nod signifies (biểu thị) approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other
forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips),
signal flags. Morse code (mã Mooc-xơ), and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn,
and instruct people . While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and
techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
46. The word “ these” in the first paragraph refers to
A. tourists B. the deaf and the mute C. thoughts and feelings D. sign language
motions
47. Which form other than oral speech would be most common used among blind people?
A. Picture signs B. Braille C. Body language D. Signal language

49. The word “ wink “ in the second paragraph means most nearly the same as
A. close one eye briefly B. close two eyes briefly
C. nod the head up and down D. shake the head from side to side
50. People need to communicate in order to

C. be picturesque and exact D. express thoughts and feelings

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to
look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel (men) covering of the
tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there then the decay slowly spreads inside
the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth
healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before
they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way.
Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should
brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day-once after breakfast and once
before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly,
we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red
rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat
them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.

The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor –
saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor – saving machinery naturally
appeared first where labor was scarce. “ In Europe,” said Thomas Jefferson, “ the object is to make the most
of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant. “ it was in
America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteen-century agricultural machinery first came. At the
opening of the century , with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the
existing Agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been
design in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790
Charles New bold of New jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire
fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers however, would have none of it, claiming that the iron
poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their, attention to the plow,
until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow

Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of
the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile
engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity,
compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-
emission (emit –v- nhả, thải) option presently available. Although electric vehicles will not be truly
practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport
experts foresee a new assortment (phân hạng) of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range
commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys. As
automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing
275

Phần 2 (từ đề 60 đề 120)
on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will
need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will
need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend

VII. Read the following text then answer the questions that follow by circling its corresponding letter

A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense
fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating (định vị). Since human eyes are not very good
at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving.
The basic principle of radar is exemplified (minh họa) by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The
echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the
waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000
kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes
produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the
radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word
“radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”. Ranging” is the term for
detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots,
radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.
Câu 51: What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The nature of radar. B. History of radar. C. Alternatives to radar. D. Types of
ranging.
Câu 52: According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects?
A. Shape. B. Size. C. Speed. D. Weight.

VI. Read the following text then answer the questions that follow by circling its corresponding letter

Smallpox (đậu mùa) was the first widespread disease to be eliminated by human intervention (can
thiệp). In May, 1966, the World Health Organization (WHO), an agency of the United Nations was
authorized to initiate a global campaign to eradicate smallpox. The goal was to eliminate the disease in one
decade. At the time, the disease posed a serious threat to people in more than thirty nations. Because similar
projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated but
eleven years after the initial organization of the campaign, no cases were reported in the field. The strategy
was not only to provide mass vaccinations but also to isolate patients with active smallpox in order to
contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission. Rewards for reporting
smallpox assisted in motivating removed from contact with others and treated. At the same time, the entire
village where the victim had lived was vaccinated. By April of 1978 WHO officials announced that they
had isolated the last known case of the disease but health workers continued to search for new cases for
additional years to be completely sure. In May, 1980, a formal statement was made to the global
community. Today smallpox is no longer a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped

If nobody in the United Kingdom smoked, what would happen to your pocket book? Everyone in
the UK would be richer. The diseases connected to smoking are a big problem . Doctors think that the
annual medical cost for lung cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses connected to smoking is between 12
and 35 million pounds. And smoking cost society money in other ways. between 27 and 61 billions pounds
are spent each year:
1. on sick days ( when people don't go to work)
2. on wages that you don't get when you don't go to work, and
3. on work lost at the company when you are sick.
This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying taxes.
This does not count fire started by cigarettes, which kill fifteen hundreds people yearly and injure another
four thousand. Smoking cost every man, woman and child in the UK from one hundred and ten to two
hundred and fifty pounds each year in the lost work and wages. When you add another fifty to one hundred
and fifty pounds yearly in insurance cost, that comes to from one hundred and sixty to four hundred and ten
pounds. If everyone stopped smoking. a family of four could have up to one thousand six hundred and forty
pounds a year or more. Of course smoking is not going to stop overnight. And NOT smoking will also cause
problems, because people who don't smoke will live longer, and so they will take money from the
government when they are old. But they will also work for more years and pay more taxes. In the end , the
value of a non-smoking nation is not in pounds. The good health of the people is the true value for us all.
71. If everyone stopped smoking, all United Kingdom _____.
A. would have more money. B. would have less money.
C. would live longer. D. would have no more problems.
72. Every year companies lose _____ because of the disease connected to smoking.

C. from 1,340 pounds to 1,430 pounds. D. 1,640 pounds.
74. The true value for the UK of not smoking is _____.
A. more working people. B. more taxes. C. good health. D. more money.

Telling the Whole Food Truth As a teacher of whole-food vegetarian cookery, I do feel a certain
sympathy with the ‘Men for Meat’ group. There is both confusion and just plain, unappetizing cooking in
this area, when a whole-food/ vegetable diet should and can be highly nutritious and utterly delicious.
The words ‘whole-food’ and ‘vegetarian’ are not synonymous: vegetarians do not eat any ‘fish, flesh or

fowl’. Most eat dairy products. Those who don’t are called vegans. I tell students not to turn vegetarian until
they have become knowledgeable about nutrition, and especially about protein. It’s very easy to become a
sick vegetarian.
And a whole-food diet just consists of eating the whole of food, with nothing added, and nothing
taken away. For example, you eat whole-wheat flour, not white flour, which has had had bleach added. In
all, no refined carbohydrates are eaten and very fatty and additive-laden foods are avoided and the stress is
on fresh products of the best quality. And that’s all – except you must then find recipes which are both
healthy and delicious because you’ll have to cook it all yourself. Very few ready-bought meals fulfill both
requirements.
76. ‘Men for Meat’ is a _____.
A. cookery group B. group of men C. group of vegetarians D. group that eat all kinds of
food
77. The writer of this article feels a ‘certain sympathy’ for this group because _____.
A She is a vegetarian. B. They don’t know much about vegetarian
cooking
C. “whole food” and “vegetarian” are not the same. D. her students do not eat meat.
78. A whole food diet _____.
A. has a lot of nutrition. B. is easy to eat. C. is added with flour. D. is often fresh.
79. According to the writer, what is wrong with ready bought meals for vegetarians?
A. They can’t be both healthy and delicious. C. They contain some additives.
B. They can be cooked easily. D. They have best quality.
80. What is NOT true about the writer?
A. She is a teacher. C. She supports the whole food.
B. She is a vegetarian . D. She dislikes ready bought meals.

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech.
When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions
stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf and the mute have had to resort to this form of
expression. Many of these symbols of the whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used
internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions,
either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only
joking. A nod signifies (biểu thị) approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other
forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips),
signal flags. Morse code (mã Mooc-xơ), and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn,
and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and
techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
46. The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to____.
A. tourists B. the deaf and the mute C. thoughts and feelings D.
sign language motions
47. Which form other than oral speech would be most common used among blind people?

the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there then the decay slowly spreads
inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our
teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth
before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way.
Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should
brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day-once after breakfast and once
before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly,
we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red
rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat
them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.

health

A. send poison into the blood B. begin to decay C. become hard

The coffee plant is actually a large shrub (bụi), or bush, not really a tree. It can grow very tall (from
three to nine meters) if it is left alone in the wild. It has dark green leaves on the outside and lighter green
leaves underneath. Small white blossoms appear on the leaves, making the coffee plant look like it’s
covered with snow. After a few days, the Fragrant blossoms (hoa thơm) fall off the plant, and small berries
begin to grow. The berries change from green to dark red in about six months. Underneath the berry skin
there is a green bean. When the berries are ripe, they are picked, and the bean inside is removed. This is the
bean that produces coffee. Coffee beans are picked by hand, one by one. Then they are dried and prepared
for market. Coffee beans are shipped all over the world. When they reach their destination, different coffee
beans are blended together to produce different kinds of coffee. Then the beans are roasted, ground and
packaged in air-tight cans and bags to keep the coffee fresh. Different countries prefer different blends ( pha
trộn). In Turkey and Arabia, dark coffee is preferred. In the United States and Canada, the coffee is not so
dark. Coffee is also prepared and served differently all over the world. In some places, it is made very thick
and strong and served in small cups. Other countries serve coffee with more water in it, in bigger cups.

The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor –
saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor – saving machinery naturally
appeared first where labor was scarce. “In Europe,” said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most
of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant. “it was in
America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteen-century agricultural machinery first came. At the
opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the
existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been
design in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790
Charles New bold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire
fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers however, would have none of it, claiming that the iron
poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their, attention to the plow,
