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.
Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and
medieval worlds, while during the 15th century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only
during the 19th century did silent reading become commonplace. One should be wary, however, of
assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is a distraction to others.
Examination of factors related to historical development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual
mode of reading for most adult reading task mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.
The last century saw a steady increase in literacy, and thus in the number of readers. As readers
increased so the number of potential listeners declined, and thus there was some deduction 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 book should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the
reading of material such as newspaper was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument
remains with us till in education. However, whatever it 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
specialized readership on the other. By the end of the century, students were recommended to adopt
attitudes to books and to use skills in reading them which were in appropriate, if not impossible, for the
oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term
“reading” implied.

Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as
important to me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately
related?
Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your emotions,
and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color that you
choose to wear either reflects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you
neeD.
The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you. Of
course, they also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the one saturated
with the color all day! I even choose items around me based on their color. In the morning, I
choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for the day. So you can consciously
use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better.
Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are
meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in
motion. Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body. So, the fastest way to
be healthy is to be open to your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit
your emotions.
Question 61: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Colors can help you become healthy.
B. Colorful clothes can change your mood
C. Emotions and colors are closely related to each other
D. Colors are one of the most exciting.
Question 62: Which of the following can be affected by color?
A. Your need for thrills B. Your appetite
C. Your friend's feelings D. Your mood
Question 63: Who is more influenced by colors you wear?
A. Anyone
B. Your family
C. The people around you are more influenced
D. You are more influenced
Question 64: According to the passage, what do color, sound, and emotion all have in common?
A. They are all forms of motion B. None is correct
C. They all affect the cells of the body D. They are all related to health
Question 65: According to this passage, what creates disease?
A. Wearing the color black B. Ignoring your emotions
C. Being open to your emotions D. Exposing yourself to bright colors
Question 66: The term "intimately" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
A. simply B. clearly C. closely D. obviously
Question 67: The term "they" in paragraph 3 refers to
A. none of these B. colors C. people D. emotions
Question 68: Why does the author mention that color and emotions are both vibrations?
A. Because vibrations make you healthy
B. Because they both affect how we feel.
C. To prove the relationship between emotions and color.
D. To show how color can affect energy levels in the body.
Question 69: The phrase "saturated with" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. covered with B. lacking in C. bored with D. in need of
Question 70: What is the purpose of the passage?

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.
The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the
body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in
the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for
the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that
different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this
era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen
imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with
certain foods.
The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called
"the vitamin period. "vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were
described. As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it
became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no
previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that point in time,
medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate
nutritional concepts into the basic sciences. Much of the focus of this education was on the
recognition of deficiency symptoms. Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from
ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made
for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them.
In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin therapy
began to fall into disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also
became less popular. It was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their
vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples
of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related
conditions. Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is
known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to
health -crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that
lead to chronic health problems.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word for each of the blanks from 66 to 75.
The initial contact between American Indians and European settlers usually involved trade, whereby
Indians acquired tools and firearms and the Europeans obtained furs. These initial events usually pitted
Indian tribes against each other as they competed for the European trade and for the lands containing fur-
Tuyệt Đỉnh Luyện Thi Tiếng Anh THPT Quốc Gia 2015 Trang 6
producing animals. When the furs had been depleted, the Europeans began a campaign to obtain the lands
the Indians occupied. The Indians often formed confederations and alliances to fight back the Europeans;
however, the Indians‟ involvement in the white people‟s wars usually disrupted these confederations.
Indians resisted the attempts by the whites to displace them. They fought defensive wars such as the Black
Hawk War in 1832. Indian uprisings also occurred, like the Sioux uprising in the 1860s.
Despite the resistance of the Indians, the Europeans were destined to win the conflict. After Indian
resistance was crushed, the whites legitimized the taking of Indian lands by proposing treaties, frequently
offering gifts to Indian chiefs to get them sign the treaties. Once an Indian group had signed a treaty, the
whites proceeded to remove them from their land. Often the Indians were forced west of the Mississippi into
Indian Territory-land the whites considered uninhabitable. If only a few Indians remained after the conquest,
they were often absorbed by local tribes or forced onto reservations.
No aspect of American history is more poignant than the accounts of the forced removal of Indians
across the continent. As white settlers migrated farther west, Indians were forced to sign new treaties giving
up the lands earlier treaties had promised them. Some Indian tribes, realizing the futility of resistance,
accepted their fate and moved westward without force. The Winnebagos, who offered little resistance, were
shifted from place to place between 1829 and 1866. About half of them perished during
their perpetual sojourn. Other tribes, however, bitterly resisted. The Seminoles signed a treaty in 1832 but
violently resisted removal. Hostilities broke out in 1835 and continued for seven years. The United States
government lost nearly 1,500 men and spent over $50 million in its attempts to crush Seminole resistance.
Most of Seminoles were eventually forced to Indian Territory. However, several hundred remained in the
Florida Everglades, where their descendants live today.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate thecorrect answer to
questions 46 to 55.
Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins hold about300 million cubic miles of
water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation
and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the
continents. This vastamount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and
fauna are dependent. Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence.
The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of anyother liquid. One
anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For this
reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen
solidly, except for a thin layer ofsurface melt water during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed
and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent.
Another outstanding characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and
solids except ammonia. This characteristic enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often
preventing climatic extremes. In addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. It is this characteristic
which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents. In several
areas of theworld these minerals are being commercially exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practiced,potash is
extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along theAmerican Gulf Coast.

to each of the questions from 26 to 35.
Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent,” the film hasnever been, in the
full sense of the word, silent. From the very beginning, music was regarded as an indispensable accompaniment; when
the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the Unites States in February 1896, they were
accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes. At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the
films; an accompaniment of anykind was sufficient. Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing
Tuyệt Đỉnh Luyện Đề Tiếng Anh THPT Quốc Gia 2015 2
lively music to a solemn film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in matching their pieces
tothe mood of the film.
As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would beadded to the
pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed.For a number of years the
selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and
very often the principal qualification for holding such aposition was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a
large personal library of musical pieces.Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to
be shown (if, indeed,the conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the musical arrangement was normally
improvised in the greatest hurry.
To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for
musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing with their films such indications
of mood as “pleasant,” “sad,” “lively.” The suggestions became moreexplicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet
containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece
led into the next. Certain films had music specially composed for them. The most famous of these early specialscores
was that composed and arranged for D.W. Griffith’s film Birth of a Nation , which was released in 1915.

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 55.
"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 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 (không đáng kể). 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.

IX. 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 ocean bottom - a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth - is a vast frontier
that even today is largely unexplored and uncharteD. Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was
completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep. Totally without light and
subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth's surface, the deep-ocean bottom is
a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space
Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first
detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the
National Science Foundation's Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP).Using techniques first developed for the
Tuyệt Đỉnh Luyện Đề Tiếng Anh THPT Quốc Gia 2015 5
offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP's drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady
position on the ocean's surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from
ocean floor.
The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983.
During this time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed
sediments and rocks at 624 drilling sites around the world. The Glomar Challenger's core samples have allowed
geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it
will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today, largely on the strength of evidence gathered
during the Glomar Challenger's voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate 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 critical to
understanding the world's past climates. Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back
hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense
chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of past climates. This record has
already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic change - information that may be used to
predict future climates.

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.
Psychologists who study information processing have identified and described several memory
structures that clarify how our memory works. They include the sensory register short-term memory,
and
long-term memory. Each structure varies as to how much information it can hold and for how
long.
A description of how human process information typically begins with environmental stimuli.
Our sense receptors are constantly stimulated by visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory stimuli.
These
experiences are initially recorded in the sensory register, so named because information is thought to be
encoded there in the same form in which it was perceived. The purpose of the sensory register is to hold
information one to three seconds. Information not recognized or otherwise selected by us disappears
from
the system. The sensory register can hold about twelve items of information at a time. Typists make
extensive use of the sensory register in order to remember words just long enough to get them typed. If no
further processing takes place, a typist’s ability to recall information later is minimal. Similarly, most of us
have had the experience of reading an entire page of text, only to discover when we got to the bottom of the
page, we couldn’t say anything about it except that we had indeed “read” every word.
Once information has been recognized as meaningful, it is sent to short-term memory. In this case,
short-term is approximately 20 seconds. While this may seem surprising, it can be easily demonstrated. If
you were asked to dial an unfamiliar phone number, received a busy signal, and were then distracted by
something or someone else for 15 to 20 seconds, chances are you would have forgotten the number at that
point. Short-term memory is often referred to as “working” memory.
Most cognitive psychologists believe that the storage capacity of long-term memory is unlimited
and contains a permanent record of everything an individual has learned and experienced. Information
is encoded there to enhance its meaningfulness and organization so that it can be easily retrieved
when necessary.
A. psychologists B. information
C. memory structures D. environmental stimuli
Question 33: The word “stimuli” in lines 4 and 5 is closest in meaning to .

After the Anasazi abandoned southwestern Colorado in the late 1200s or early 1300s, history’s pages
Tuyệt Đỉnh Luyện Đề Tiếng Anh THPT Quốc Gia 2015 4
are blank. The Anasazi were masons and apartment builders who occupied the deserts, river valleys, and
mesas of this region for over a thousand years, building structures that have weathered the test of time.
The first Europeans to visit southwestern Colorado were the ever-restless, ambitious Spanish, who
sought gold, pelts, and slaves. In 1765, under orders from the Spanish governor in Santa Fe, Juan Maria
Antonio Rivera led a prospecting and trading party into the region. Near the Dolores River in
southwestern Colorado, he found some insignificant silver-bearing rocks, and it is thought that it was he who
named the mountains nearby the Sierra de la Plata or the Silver Mountains. Rivera found little of
commercial value that would interest his superiors in Santa Fe, but he did open up a route that
would soon lead to the establishment of the Old Spanish Trail. This expedition and others to follow left
names on the land which are only reminders we have today that the Spanish once explored this region.
In 1776, one of the men who had accompanied Rivera, Andre Muniz, acted as a guide for another
expedition. That party entered southwestern Colorado in search of a route west to California, traveling near
today’s towns of Durango and Dolores. Along the way, they camped at the base of a large green mesa which
today carries the name Mesa Verde. They were the first Europeans to record the discovery of an Anasazi
archeological site in southwestern Colorado.
By the early 1800s, American mountain men and trappers were exploring the area in their quest for
beaver pelts. Men like Peg-leg Smith were outfitted with supplies in the crossroads trapping town of Taos,
New Mexico. These adventurous American trappers were a tough bunch. They, possibly more than any other
newcomers, penetrated deeply into the mountain fastness of southwestern Colorado, bringing back valuable
information about the area and discovering new routes through the mountains. One of the trappers, William
Becknell, the father of the Santa Fe Trail, camped in the area of Mesa Verde, where he found pottery shards,
stone houses, and other Anasazi remains.

correct answer to each of the Questions from 51 to 55
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.
