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 36 to 40.
Bees, classified into over 10,000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world except the
northernmost and southernmost regions. One commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that produces
honey and wax. Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other products, and they use the honey as a food.
While gathering the nectar and pollen with which they make honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the
flowers on which they land. Many fruits and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to
blossom.
Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with storage space for
the honey. The different types of bees each perform a unique function. The worker bee carries nectar to hive in a special
stomach called a honey stomach. Other workers make bees wax and shape it into a honeycomb, which is a water-proof
mass of six-sided compartments, or cells. The queen lay eggs in completed cells. As the workers build more cells, the
queen lays more eggs.
All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen. The male honeybees are
called drones; they do no work and cannot sting. They are developed from unfertilized eggs, and their only job is to
impregnate a queen. The queen must be fertilized in order to lay worker eggs. During the use, the workers block the
drones from the honey so that they will starve to death.

the U.S. side of the river in the state of New York. Approximately 85 percent of the water that goes over the falls
actually goes over Horseshoe Falls, with the rest going over American Falls.
Most visitors come between April and October, and it is quite a popular activity to take a steamer out onto the river and

Point or Table Rock, or from one of the four observation towers which have heights up to 500 feet.
Tourists have been visiting Niagara Falls in large numters since the1800s; annual visitation now averages above l0
million visitors per year. Because of concern that all these tourists would inadvertently destroy the natural beauty of
this scenic wonder, the state of New York in 1885 created Niagara Falls Park in order to protect the land surrounding
American Falls. A year later Canada created Queen Victoria Park on the Canadian side of the Niagara, around Horseshoe
Falls. With the area surrounding the falls under the jurisdiction of govemment agencies, appropriate steps could be

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 29 to 36.
“Family” includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with every day, such as
your cousins, aunts, aucles, grandparents, and stepparents. These are probably the people you are closest to and with
whom you spend the most time. Having healthy relationships with your family members is both important and difficult.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than one family
together in the same house), and gay and lesbian parents - just to mane a few. No matter the “type” of family you have,
there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. Many times, however, families become blocked in their
relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion. These emotions are natural and normal, and few families do not
have at least a few experiences with them. The worst time for most families, is during a divorce.
By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other people, it is possible to creat
happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring and support; they can be sources of
lifelong strength for all individuals. Thus, it is never too late to begin the process of improving family relationships - even
if they are already of good quality - by developing some simple skills.
Whereas in other situations you can step back and assess the relationship, it is oftenhard to do this with your family.
Your family may be a constant presence in your life, so when an argument or issue arises, it may seem impossible to
handle. However, remember that communication is key to resolving conflict. While it may seem that your siblings are
constantly present to annoy you or boss you around , they are also there there to communicate. Thus, use your family’s
presence to your advantage - communicate with each other, develop ways to value boundaries, and build trust and
respect.

A. Talking about it B. Accusing sisters or brothers
C. Avoiding seeing others D. Telling close friends

Question 38. According to the passage family relationship is ______ .

C. normally up and down D. good for some and bad for others
Question 39. How can we improve the family relationship?
A. Training ourselves to be skilful worker B. Supporting other family members financially
C. Changing our viewpoints and behaviours D. Going to universities to realize our parents’ dreams
Question 40. What is passage about?
A. Similarities and differences between traditional and modern families.
B. A definition a family relationship and its types.

answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly
inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in
World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford
University.
Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from
1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the
late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the
mythology and legends created by Tolkien.
The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a
modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic
ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed
fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures
such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were
modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe.
Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's
real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his
years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their
language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work
that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today.
Question 43: What can we assume is NOT true about Middle Earth ?
A. Middle Earth was based on European folktales B. Middle Earth was a fictional world
C. The good and evil kingdom fought for the power D. People dominated Middle Earth

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
Bello Nock recently raced up a thin wire on a motorcycle. He drove the motorcycle high over thousands of
spectators' heads. He's a clown with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus.To the spectators below, Bello's stunt
looked dangerous - and it was. But Bello knew a secret. He was using science to help keep himself safe.
Bello began performing circus stunts when he was nine years old. He walked on a thin wire that was stretched
nine feet off the ground. To stay on a wire without falling, Bello needs to keep his center of gravity low. An object's
center of gravity is usually located in the middle of the object. That is where the object's weight is centered. By crouching
and keeping low, Bello keeps his center of gravity low. The lower his center of gravity, the harder it is for Bello to fall.
Bello often carries a heavy metal stick when he performs. The stick bends downward, lowering his center of gravity.
Bello also uses Newton's first law of motion when he performs. That law is named for Isaac Newton. He was a
scientist who lived about 275 years ago. Newton's first law of motion says that a moving object will keep moving unless
an outside force acts on it. (The law also says that an object at rest will stay that way unless an outside force acts on it.)
Bello uses that law when he rides his miniature, or tiny, bike.
As Bello speeds along on his tiny bike, he sometimes has to stop before slamming into a wall. To stop, Bello uses
the bike's brakes. The brakes create friction between the bike's tires and the ground. The friction is an outside force that
slows the bike. Friction also changes the bike's motion into heat energy. You could say that Bello's act is really hot! To see
how friction works, rub your hands together as fast as you can. When you rub your hands together, they should start to
feel warm. Friction between your hands changes into heat energy. Bello always puts on a high-energy show. "I always
want to capture the attention of children," he said. He captures their attention with science.

Question 43: According to the passage, what does friction do with the motion of the bike?
A. Friction changes the motion into heat energy. B. Friction helps keep the bike’s center of gravity low.
C. Friction means that Bello can rub his hands together while he rides.
D. Friction makes Bello less likely to fall off the bike.

Question 44: Which of the following does the author describe first in the passage?
A. The author describes Bello’s life as a clown in the circus.
B. The author describes Bello’s decision to use Newton’s first law of motion.
C. The author describes Bello’s high-energy show as a tightrope walker.

 Fertilizer is any substance that can be added to the soil to provide chemical elements essential for plant nutrition
so that the yield can be increased. Natural substances such as animal droppings, ashes from wood fires, and straw have
been used as fertilizers in fields for thousands of years, and lime has been used since Romans introduced it during the
Empire. It was not until the nineteenth century, however, that chemical fertilizer became widely accepted as normal
agricultural practice. Today, both natural and synthetic fertilizers are available in a variety of forms.
A complete fertilizer is usually marked with a formula consisting of three numbers, such as 4-8-2 or 6-6-4, which
designate the percentage of content of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in the order stated. Synthetic fertilizers,
produced by factories, are available in either solid or liquid form. Solids, in the shape of chemical granules, are in demand
because they are not only easy to store but also easy to apply. Recently, liquids have shown as increase in popularity,
accounting for 20 percent of the nitrogen fertilizer used throughout the world. Formerly, powders were also used, but
they were found to be less convenient than either solids or liquids.
Fertilizers have no harmful effects on the soil, the crop, or the customer as long as they are used according to
recommendations based on the result of local research. Occasionally, however, farmers may use more fertilizer than
necessary, in which case the plants do not need, and therefore do not absorb, the total amount of fertilizer applied to the
soil. The surplus of fertilizer thus can damage not only the crop but also the animals or human beings that eat the crop.
Furthermore, fertilizer that is not used in the production of a healthy plant is leached into the water table. Accumulations
of chemical fertilizer in the water supply accelerate the growth of algae and, consequently, may disturb the natural cycle
of life, contributing to the death of fish. Too much fertilizer on grass can cause digestive disorders in cattle and in infants
who drink cow’s milk. Fertilizer must be used with great attention to responsible use or it can harm the environment.

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
Although speech is generally accepted as the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of
communicating without using words. In every known culture, signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are commonly utilized
as instruments of communication. There is a great deal of agreement among communication scientists as to what each of
these methods is and how each differs from the others. For instance, the basic function of any signal is to impinge upon
the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes that can be applied in a
telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication through these dots and dashes -short and
long intervals as the circuit is broken - is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain agreed
upon meaning; that is, they convey information in and of themselves. Two examples are the hexagonal red sign that
conveys the meaning of stop, and the red and white swirled pole outside a shop that communicates the meaning of
barber.
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the
receiver’s culture perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of
approval. In other cultures, if done in unison, applauding can be a symbol of the audience’s discontent with the
performance. Gestures such as weaving and handshaking also communicate certain culture messages. Although signals,
signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they also have a major disadvantage in communication. They usually do not
allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas,
interaction comes to a halt. As a result, means of communication intended to be used across long distances and extended
periods must be based upon speech. To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems,
electronic mail, and the internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication on the horizon.

Trang 29/98 - Mã đề thi 134

 Make sure that your skate boots fit snugly. First, put on two pairs of cotton or lightweight wool socks. Then, step into

are weak and will cause you severe discomfort.
Each boot is attached a metal blade by crews at two different places. The blade of skate is a narrow piece of steel that
is strong enough to support the weight of your body. The bottom of the blade, which touches the ice, is hollowed out,
leaving two very thin edges. Stakes have guards, pieces of wood or rubber that fit over blades to protect these edges.

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
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.

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 36 to 42.
Many of the oldest universities still operating in Europe started in 1500s with several universities older than that.
The Universities of Bologna (established 1088) and Paris (established 1208) were two of the first higher education
institutions. The purpose of these early universities was to train people to do professional jobs in law – in the UK, until
nineteen century there were still only six universities. The older universities that still exist often have good reputations,
beautiful old buildingand traditions that are hundreds of years old.
When the industrial revolution occurred in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, higher education changed too –
universities needed to teach students to question and think. In Germany, the aims of universities was to teach students
about the process of learning and discovery and this idea spread across European universities. In the UK, a number of
universities were established asa result of the industrial revolution – these universities were generically established in
major industrial centres such as Birmingham and Manchester. The German higher education model emphasized freedom,
but women still not allowed into university. This changed in the mid-nineteenth century when several allowed women to
join.
A number of universitieswere established in the 1960s as the population grew. In Britain, many of these Wawick
and York – were built on their own campuses. Now universities are changing again. The knowledge economy and
increasingly interconnected world are shaping education. The knowledge economy is the economic benefits that come
from research and ideas – especially when these ideas become part of business. Studies and communication are
important elements of this. The knowledge economy does not have borders and because of this many universities are

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 43 to 50.
Are Human Beings Getting Smarter?
Do you think you are smarter than your parents or grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New
Zealand university, you might be. Over the course of the last century, IQ test scores of people in some countries have got
increasingly better - on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This trend of improving scores is
known as “the Flynn effect,” and scientists want to know what is behind it.
IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn knew
that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the
improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what happened in the 20 th century
that led to higher test scores?

Trang 42/98 - Mã đề thi 134

 Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores
simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking
techniques that help us perform better. Others have pointed to better nutrition, which results in babies being born
larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in
educational styles - children are encouraged to discover things for themselves rather than just memorizing information.
This could prepare people to do the kind of problem-solving that intelligence tests require.
Flynn himself suggested that learning new technologies may have improved people’s problem-solving skills. This
may be true for the first decade of his tests, when IQ scores in many countries increased. However, in recent years, IQ
test scores in some countries have begun to decline. Data from Norway, the Netherlands, Australia, and Great Britain
have shown that as these countries become more and more modern, IQ scores have begun to drop.
While scientists aren’t sure what is causing this decline, they think technology is dramatically changing the way that
we learn and get information. For example, people are now able to access all kinds of information easily using online
resources like Google or Wikipedia. The danger is when they start to rely too much on these sources of information, and
not do any thinking for themselves. Lifestyle changes that come with modem technology may also have a negative effect
on intelligence, such as video games and television making people less social. So while the world may have got smarter
over the 20th century, improving technology and changing lifestyles may soon reverse that trend.
Note: heredity (n) = the process by which features and characteristics are passed on to you from your parents
through your genes

Until recently, humankind seemed to view the ocean as a source of infinite resources. Its vast size and depth and
unexplored frontiers made the ocean appear invulnerable to overexploitation. The truth is that the populations of
many species are decreasing at an unsustainable rate, and the number of species listed as endangered from marine
life families such as whales, dolphins, manatee and dugongs, salmon, seabirds, sea turtles and sharks to name a few,
are on the rise. The threats to marine species are difficult to perceive because marine animals are not as visible as
animals on land. But unfortunately, marine creatures are equally, if not more, vulnerable to problems such as
habitat destruction and overexploitation. Shallow water animals that breathe air, like turtles, manatees, dugongs, and
whales are often hit by boats and caught in fishing gear.
Species such as turtles that lay their eggs on land often lose their nurseries due to coastal development. Animals that
have taken millions of years to evolve, that are invaluable to all ecosystems, have and continue to vanish from places
where they once flourished

ocean.

Louisa May Alcott, an American author best known for her childrenʹs books Little Women, Little Men, and Joʹs Boys,
was profoundly influenced by her family, particularly her father. She was the daughter of Bronson Alcott, a well‐
known teacher, intellectual, and free thinker who 5 advocated abolitionism, womenʹs rights, and vegetarianism long
before they were popular. He was called a man of unparalleled intellect by his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson. Bronson
Alcott instilled in his daughter his lofty and spiritual values and in return was idolized by his daughter.

 Most people think of computers as very modern inventions, products of our new technological age.
But actually the idea for a computer had been worked out over two centuries ago by a man(31)
Charles Babbage. Babbage was bom in 1791 and grew up to be a brilliant mathematician. He drew up
plans for several calculating machines which he called "engines". But despite the fact that he (32)
building some of these, he never finished any of them. Over the years, people have argued (33) his
machines would ever work. Recently, however, the Science Museum in London has finished building(34) engine
based on one of Babbage'designs. (35) has taken six years to complete and more than four
thousand parts have been specially made.
Whether it works or not, the machine will be on show at a special exhibition in the ScienceMuseum to remind

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.
Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of payments.
Even now, in Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the groceries, take place
every day with customers passing their handsets across a small flat-screen device. And predictions in the
world of finance reckon that payments using mobile phones will have risen to more than $50 billion in the very
near future.
What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash, but more so.
It takes just one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change is required, errors in
counting are eliminated. Fraud and theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it reduces the cost of handling
money. Sony's vision of having a chip embedded in computers, TVs and games consoles means that films,
music and games can be paid for easily without having to input credit card details.
And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and credit- card firms
want to be in a position to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and contactless-payment
systems. But the new system could prove to be a "disruptive technology" as far as the banks are concerned.
If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are made every day by a commuter with a
mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit card statements but on their mobile phone statements.
And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies and banks do not want to see other payment
systems gaining popularity. It's too early to say whether banks will miss out and if so, by how much.
However, quite a few American bankers are optimistic.
They feel there is reason to be suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing of the
past. They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street branches as was
predicted. On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches. So, whether we'll become a
totally cash-free society remains open to contention.

Câu 36: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. The increasing popularity of new payment methods. B. The absence of traditional payment methods.
C. Japan's advanced forms of payment. D. Predictions of future payment methods.
Câu 37: Why does the author mention "a small flat-screen device" in the first paragraph?
A. to criticize the e-cash system B. to inform the e-cash system
C. to exemplify the e-cash system D. to praise the e-cash system
Câu 38: Which of the following is NOT true about the strong point of e-cash?
A. faster speed B. reduced cost C. fewer mistakes D. no fraud
Câu 39: The word "embedded” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. isolated B. generated C. manufactured D. integrated
Câu 40: The word "grip" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. success B. power C. range of branches D. wealth
Câu 41: The author mentions the case of commuters in the third paragraph to illustrate .
A. the transferability of the system B. the modern technology of the e-cash system
C. the banks' cooperation with credit-card companies D. a possible drawback of the system
Câu 42: The word "their” in the third paragraph refers to .
A. Internet banking B. American bankers C. credit cards D. high-street hanks
Câu 43: How does the writer seem to feel about the future of banks?
A. uncertain B. pessimistic C. optimistic D. neutral

Langston Hughes was one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. He was born in Joplin, Missouri,
and moved to Cleveland at the age of fourteen. Several years later he spent one year in Mexico before attending
Columbia University in New York. For a few years after that he roamed the world as a seaman, visiting ports around
the world and writing some poetry. He returned to the United States and attended Lincoln University, where he won
the Witter Bynner Prize for undergraduate poetry. After graduating in 1928, he traveled to Spain and to Russia
with the help of a Guggenheim fellowship.
His novels include Not Without Laughter (1930) and The Big Sea (1940). He wrote an autobiography in 1956 and also
published several collections of poetry. The collections include The Weary Blues (1926), The Dream Keeper (1932),
Shakespeare in Harlem (1942), Fields of Wonder (1947), One Way Ticket (1947), and Selected Poems (1959). A
man of many talents, Hughes was also a lyricist, librettist, and a journalist. As an older man in the 1960s he spent much
of his time collecting poems from Africa and from African-Americans to popularize black writers. Hughes is one of the most
accomplished writers in American literary history, and he is seen as one of the artistic leaders of the Harlem
Renaissance, the period when a neighborhood that was predominantly black produced a flood of great literature, music,
and other art forms depicting daily city life for African-Americans.

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.
Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or
accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the
graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and
energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Plants 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 their peak at
the time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradually become lighter
and more brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible. This can make
moving very painful.
All the major organs of the body show signs aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and even gets smaller
in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in remembering recent
events.
 One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries , the blood vessels that lead from the heart.
They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body. This condition
accounts, 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 great
differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age. The majority of
cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve cells 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 controlled by a
built - in biological time - clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the
process. This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.
Question 24. 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 25. 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 26. In old age, the bones
A. become more flexible B. become heavier C. cause much pain D. break easily
Question 27. According to the passage, what condition is responsible for many of the diseases of the old?
A.Their trouble in remembering recent events B.The blood vessels that have become thickened and constricted
C.The rigid and inflexible joints between the bones D. The worn - out nerve cells and muscle- fibers
Question 28. Many of the diseases of old people are the results of .
A. lack of blood B. poor blood circulation C. the thickening of the blood vessels D. low blood pressure
Question 29.The statement Aging is not a uniform process in the passage means that
A. old people do not have the same outward signs of aging
B. nerve cells and muscle fibers do not age simultaneously
C. not all people age at the same age
D. the process of aging is slow
Question 30. The word arteries in the passage refers to .

correct answer for each of the questions.
Understanding India's Caste System
It has been said that life is what we make of it. In other words, if we work hard and focus on our goals, we can have
great careers and enjoy high status is society. However, these opportunities don‟t exist for everyone. In some
places, the family you are born into will decide almost everything about your life. India‟s caste system is an example of
this.
The caste system is a major part of the Hindu religion that has existed for thousands of years. It is a way of
organizing and grouping people based on the occupation of the family. Castes will determine whom people
can socialize with and their place in society. Originally, a person‟s caste was supposed to be determined by their
personality, but over time it has been linked to their job and family.
There are four classes, also known as varnas, in India‟s caste system. The highest one is Brahmin. People in this
class have jobs in education and religion. These are seen as extremely important functions for the society as
they deal with the knowledge. The second highest level is the Kshatriya, or ruling class. People from this group can
be soldiers, landowners, or have jobs in politics. The class beneath this is the Vaishya. These people often work in the
commercial sector as merchants. The fourth class level is the Shudra. Shudras typically work as unskilled labourers
doing factory or farm work, or they may also be employed as artists.
 There is another group, the Harijan, that is at the bottom and considered to be outside of the caste system. For
many years, they were known as Untouchables, people from this caste held the most undesirable jobs in society, such
as cleaning up garbage. Furthermore, they weren‟t allowed to pray at public temples or drink water from the same
wells as other classes. If someone from another caste came into contact with an Untouchable, they were considered
dirty and would be expected to bathe vigorously to clean themselves.
Although the caste system still exists in India, the government is taking steps to improve the living conditions and
decrease unemployment rates for the Shudras and Harijan. This includes providing better health care, offering
literacy programmes, and making sure that people from higher social classes do not exploit them. It seems
unlikely that the caste system will disappear any time soon, but the overall conditions for those at the bottom do
seem to be improving.
31. Which of the following is not true about India‟s caste system?
A. The caste system has been used in India for a long time.
B. The Kshatriya is the second highest class.
C. Hard work helps people move up in the caste system.

A. What a person believes on B. When a person starts school
C. Who a person’s parents are D. Where a person was born
34. What kind of job would a Brahmin likely have?
A. A priest B. A warrior C. An inventor D. A painter
35. What could replace the word “ruling” in paragraph 3?
A. defeating B. guessing C. delaying D. governing
36. All of the following are true about the Harijan EXCEPT that .
A. they used to be known as Untouchables B. they had to do undesirable jobs in society

better.

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
Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our gardens is one of
the milder effects of weeds – any plants that thrive where they are unwanted. They clog waterways,
destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming. Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for one-third of all
crop loss. They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants.
 The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides are effective
and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic compounds
threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and drinking water.
They also harm workers who apply them.
In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically sound. Yet new
chemicals alone cannot solve the world’s weed problems. Hence, scientists are exploring the innate
weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms.
The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans. They can be chosen for
their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast, some of the most
effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally
resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number of biological agents can be
administered only once, after which no added applications are needed. Chemicals typically must be used several
times per growing season.
43. With what topic does this passage primarily deal?
A. The dangers of toxic chemicals. B. A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides.
C. The importance of the chemical industry. D. Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones.
44. The word ‘marring’ in bold is closest in meaning to ……………….
A. planting B. spoiling C. dividing D. replacing
45. The word ‘clog’ in bold is closest in meaning to
A. drain B. grow along C. obstruct D. float on
46. Which of the following terms does the author define in the first paragraph?
A. grazing area B. weeds C. nutrients D. wildlife habitats
47. Which of the following statements about the use of chemical agents as herbicides would the author
most likely agree?
A. It has become more dangerous recently. B. It is occasionally required.
C. It is safe but inefficient. D. It should be increased.
48. The word ‘innate’ in bold is closest in meaning to
A. effective B. natural C. active D. organic
49. The word ‘applications’ in bold could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. treatments B. requests C. special purposes D. qualifications
50. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
A. Two possible causes of a phenomenon are compared.
B. A problem is described and possible solutions are discussed.
C. A general idea is introduced and several specific examples are given.

làm việc chăm chỉ, họ sẽ được lên đẳng cấp cao hơn.
32. A
Từ “this” trong đoạn 1 đề cập đến .
A. thực tế là gốc gác của bạn sẽ chủ yếu quyết định tương lai của bạn
B. niềm vui của cuộc sống ở Ấn Độ
C. chế độ đẳng cấp Ấn Độ tồn tại trong hàng ngàn năm
D. phần lớn tôn giáo Hindu
=> đáp án A
“this” ở đây đề cập đến vấn đề được đưa ra ở câu trước đó: “In some places, the family you are born
into will decide almost everything about your life.” (Ở một số nơi, gia đình mà bạn được sinh ra sẽ
quyết định hầu hết mọi thứ về cuộc sống của bạn), có thể hiểu đó là sự thật rằng gốc gác sẽ quyết
định phần lớn tương lai của mỗi người.
33. C
Chế độ đẳng cấp chủ yếu dựa vào?
A. Một người tin vào những gì
B. Khi một người bắt đầu học
C. Cha mẹ của một người là ai
D. Nơi một người được sinh ra
=> đáp án C
Điều này có thể được suy ra từ hai câu cuối cùng của đoạn đầu tiên: "In some places, the family you
are born into will decide almost everything about your life. India‟s caste system is an example of
this." (Ở một số nơi, gia đình mà bạn được sinh ra sẽ quyết định hầu hết mọi thứ về cuộc sống của
bạn. Chế độ đẳng cấp ở Ấn Độ là một ví dụ). Có nghĩa là chế độ đẳng cấp phụ thuộc vào việc bố mẹ
của một người là ai.
34. A

A. Một linh mục
B. Một chiến binh
C. Một nhà phát minh
D. Một họa sĩ

Tất cả những điều sau đây là đúng về Harijan TRỪ .
A. họ thường được gọi là tầng lớp tiện dân
B. họ phải làm những công việc không mong muốn trong xã hội
 C. bất kỳ sự liên lạc nào giữa một người từ đẳng cấp khác với tầng lớp tiện dân được coi là không
thể chấp nhận
D. bất cứ ai từ đẳng cấp khác tiếp xúc với một tầng lớp tiện dân không được phép cầu nguyện tại
đền thờ
=> đáp án D
Thông tin ở các đáp án còn lại đều được đưa ra ở đoạn 4. Thông tin trong đáp án cuối cùng không
được đề cập đến trong bài. Câu cuối của đoạn 4 chỉ cho biết bất cứ người nào từ một đẳng cấp khác
tiếp xúc với một người thuộc tầng lớp tiện dân, họ sẽ bị coi là bẩn thỉu và phải tắm thật sạch để làm
sạch mình, không có thông tin cho thấy người đó không được phép cầu nguyện ở các đền.
37. D
Đoạn văn đề xuất gì về tương lai của hệ thống giai cấp?
A. Một ngày nào đó nó sẽ không được sử dụng ở Ấn Độ nữa.
B. Nó có thể sẽ trở nên tồi tệ hơn trước khi nó tốt hơn.
C. Các nhóm dưới đáy sẽ đứng lên để cai trị các tầng lớp hàng đầu.
D. Nó có thể sẽ tiếp tục tồn tại trong một thời gian dài ở Ấn Độ.
=> đáp án D
Thông tin này được tìm thấy ở câu kết của bài viết: "It seems unlikely that the caste system will
disappear any time soon, but the overall conditions for those at the bottom do seem to be
improving." (Có vẻ như chế độ đẳng cấp sẽ không biến mất trong thời gian tới, nhưng những điều
kiện chung dành cho những người ở dưới đáy dường như đang được cải thiện).
Dịch bài đọc:
Hiểu chế độ đẳng cấp của Ấn Độ
Người ta nói rằng cuộc sống là những gì chúng ta nhìn nhận về nó. Nói cách khác, nếu chúng ta làm
việc chăm chỉ và tập trung vào các mục tiêu, chúng ta có thể có sự nghiệp tuyệt vời và đạt được địa
vị cao trong xã hội. Tuy nhiên, những cơ hội này không dành cho tất cả mọi người. Ở một số nơi,
gia đình mà bạn được sinh ra sẽ quyết định hầu hết mọi thứ về cuộc sống của bạn. Chế độ đẳng cấp
ở Ấn Độ là một ví dụ về điều này.
Chế độ đẳng cấp là một phần quan trọng của tôn giáo Ấn Độ đã tồn tại hàng ngàn năm nay. Đó là
một cách tổ chức và phân loại nhóm người dựa vào nghề nghiệp gia đình. Các đẳng cấp sẽ xác định
những người mà mọi người có thể kết giao và vị thế của họ trong xã hội. Ban đầu, đẳng cấp của một
người được cho là được xác định bởi tính cách của họ, nhưng theo thời gian nó lại liên quan đến
công việc và gia đình của họ.
Có bốn đẳng cấp, còn được gọi là varna, trong chế độ đẳng cấp ở Ấn Độ. Đẳng cấp cao nhất là
Brahmin (Bà la môn). Những người thuộc đẳng cấp này thường làm việc trong lĩnh vực giáo dục và
tôn giáo. Những nghề này được xem là có chức năng đặc biệt quan trọng trong xã hội bởi họ phải
làm việc với kiến thức. Đẳng cấp cao thứ hai là Kshatriya, hay tầng lớp thống trị. Những người
thuộc nhóm này có thể là những người lính, địa chủ hoặc làm việc trong lĩnh vực chính trị. Đẳng cấp
tiếp theo là Vaishya. Những người này thường là các thương nhân làm việc trong lĩnh vực
thương mại. Đẳng cấp thứ tư là Shudra. Shudras thường là những người lao động không có tay nghề
làm việc tại nhà máy hoặc trang trại, hoặc họ cũng có thể là những nghệ sĩ làm công.
Còn có một tầng lớp khác nữa, Harijan, nằm dưới đáy và được coi là không thuộc chế độ đẳng cấp.
Trong nhiều năm, họ được biết đến như là tầng lớp tiện dân, những người thuộc tầng lớp này nắm
giữ những công việc không ai muốn trong xã hội như dọn rác. Hơn nữa, họ không được phép cầu
nguyện ở các đền thờ công cộng hay uống nước từ cùng một giếng với các đẳng cấp khác. Nếu bất
cứ người nào thuộc một đẳng cấp khác tiếp xúc với một người thuộc tầng lớp tiện dân, họ sẽ bị coi
là bẩn thỉu và phải tắm rửa thật sạch sẽ để làm sạch mình.
Mặc dù chế độ đẳng cấp vẫn còn tồn tại ở Ấn Độ, chính phủ đang tiến hành từng bước để cải thiện
điều kiện sống và làm giảm tỷ lệ thất nghiệp cho người Shudras và Harijan. Việc này bao gồm việc
cung cấp các dịch vụ chăm sóc sức khỏe tốt hơn, tổ chức các chương trình xóa mù chữ, đảm bảo
chắc chắn những người thuộc các tầng lớp xã hội cao hơn không bóc lột họ. Có vẻ như chế độ đẳng
cấp sẽ không biến mất trong tương lai gần, nhưng những điều kiện chung dành cho những người ở
dưới đáy dường như đang được cải thiện.

Dịch bài đọc:
Trên thế giới có nhiều cách con người chào nhau. Ở nhiều nơi trên thế giới, bắt tay là một hình thức
đón tiếp và chào hỏi phổ biến. Ở nhiều nước quanh vùng biển Địa Trung Hải, một cái hôn nhẹ vào
má là một cách thích hợp để chào đón bạn bè và gia đình. Có thể họ sẽ rất ngạc nhiên nếu bạn định
bắt tay và ôm hay hôn thay vào đó.
Đôi khi, rất khó để nói kiểu thói quen chào hỏi nào sẽ đến tiếp theo. Con người có thể cúi đầu, nắm
tay nhau hay thậm chí đập vào lưng của nhau. Ở một số nơi mọi người chỉ cười, nhìn vào mặt nhau
và không nói gì cả.
Hầu hết mọi người trên thế giới đều khoan dung với các du khách và không quan tâm dù việc các du
khách làm có vẻ không đúng, miễn là họ chân thành. Một phần lớn của sự thích thú khi đi du lịch
trên thế giới là việc trải nghiệm những phong tục khác nhau.

D. Một khuyến nghị được phân tích và bác bỏ.
=> đáp án C
Dịch bài đọc:
Con người đã chống cỏ dại từ khi bắt đầu nông nghiệp. Làm hỏng vườn của chúng ta là một trong những ảnh hưởng nhẹ nhàng của cỏ
dại - bất kỳ loài cây nào phát triển nơi chúng không cần thiết. Chúng làm tắc nghẽn đường dẫn nước, phá huỷ môi trường sống của
động vật hoang dã và cản trở việc nuôi trồng. Sự lây lan của chúng sẽ xoá bỏ các khu vực chăn thả và chiếm một phần ba lượng mất
mùa. Chúng cạnh tranh ánh sáng mặt trời, chất dinh dưỡng, và nước với cây trồng hữu ích.
Nhu cầu kiểm soát cỏ dại toàn cầu đã được hồi đáp chủ yếu bởi ngành công nghiệp hoá chất. Thuốc diệt cỏ có hiệu quả và đôi khi cần
thiết, nhưng một số lại gây ra những vấn đề nghiêm trọng, đặc
biệt nếu lạm dụng. Các hợp chất độc hại đe doạ động vật và sức khoẻ cộng đồng khi chúng tích tụ
trong thực phẩm, nước ngầm và nước uống. Chúng cũng làm hại người sử dụng chúng.
Trong những năm gần đây, ngành công nghiệp hóa chất đã đưa ra một số chất diệt cỏ có vẻ sinh thái hơn. Tuy nhiên, các hóa chất mới không
thể giải quyết được vấn đề cỏ dại trên thế giới. Do đó, các nhà khoa học đang khám phá năng lực diệt cỏ bẩm sinh của sinh vật sống, chủ yếu
là côn trùng và vi sinh vật.
Các tác nhân sinh học hiện nay đang sử dụng rất thân thiện với môi trường và không gây hại cho con người. Chúng có thể được lựa chọn bởi
khả năng tấn công các mục tiêu đã chọn của chúng và cây mùa vụ và các cây trồng khác không bị ảnh hưởng. Ngược lại, một số hóa chất có
hiệu quả nhất giết chết hầu như tất cả các cây mà chúng tiếp xúc, chỉ còn lại những cây có khả năng đề kháng tự nhiên hoặc đã được biến đổi
gen để đề kháng. Hơn nữa, một số tác nhân sinh học có thể được sử dụng một lần, sau đó không cần thiết điều trị nào nữa. Hóa chất thường
phải được sử dụng nhiều lần trong mỗi mùa vụ.

Most people start smoking when they are in their teens and are addicted by the time they reach adulthood. Some
have tried to quit but have returned to cigarettes because smoking is such a strong addiction. It is a habit that is very
difficult to break. There are many different reasons why people smoke.
Three of the main reasons that young people smoke are to look mature, to be like their friends, and to experiment.
Since teens see older people all around them smoking, especially their parents and relatives, they smoke to act older. If
their friends or peers smoke, they may feel pressured into doing the same to be accepted. The last reason is the
excitement of experimenting with something that is forbidden. In Massachusetts it is against the law for anyone under 18
years old to smoke. Usually parents do not allow their under age teens to smoke. Therefore, smoking becomes very
attractive. It is exciting to get cigarettes and sneak away to smoke without being caught.
Adults smoke for other reasons. They may have a lot of stress and pressures because of economic and personal
problems. They may be unemployed or working but not making enough money to take care of themselves and their
families. They may be homeless, or they may be dealing with alcohol or cocaine/heroin addictions. Some may be in bad
marriages or relationships in which there is physical and/or verbal abuse. All these people may smoke to feel relaxed or
to give them energy while going through a hard time.
Whether young or old, some people smoke to control their weight. Smokers, on the average, weigh seven pounds
less than non-smokers. Smoking reduces a person's appetite. It lessens his/her sense of taste and smell. This could be
why ex-smokers gain weight after quitting cigarettes. Food tastes and smells so much better.
Finally, there are people who say they love to smoke. Smoking gives them pleasure. It just makes them feel good.

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.
Question 49: Wikipedia is a(n) ____.
A. book B. journal C. article D. dictionary

A. paid written B. millionaires C. normal people D. world experts

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
Cambridge University is considering axing compulsory written exams, allowing students to use laptops or iPads
instead, after tutors complained that students' handwriting is becoming illegible. Academics say the move, which would
bring an end to over 800 years of tradition, has come about because students rely too heavily on laptops in lectures, and
are losing the ability to write by hand.
Dr Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at Cambridge University, said handwriting is becoming a "lost art" among the
current generation of students. She added, "It's increasingly hard for our examiners to read students' scripts. Those with
illegible writing are forced to come back to their college during the summer holidays to read their answers aloud in the
presence of two university administrators. It's extraordinarily commendable that the University is considering reforms to
its examination practices."
Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham, said it is inevitable that universities will move to
computers as handwriting deteriorates in the coming years. "We have to accept the reality. Handwriting has now
become an optional, not a necessary, part of education. There simply isn't the same time in the curriculum for learning
elegant, beautiful handwriting. Life is so quick now. Everybody writes as if they were a doctor writing a prescription," he
said. "Handwriting is not necessary for great thought, great English, or great intelligence. Some of our finest wordsmiths
today write using laptops, and we have to fight to preserve what is really important, such as the use of great English or
great sentence structures."
Others, however, were not very positive about the move. Tracey Trussell, a handwriting expert, urged Cambridge to
ensure that students continue to write by hand. She said, "It's vital that people continue to write by hand. Writing by
hand improves memory and equates to a higher rate of comprehension and information retention." There is also concern
that schools could follow Cambridge's example by moving away from handwriting. Dr Jane Medwell, Associate Professor
of Education at the University of Nottingham, is concerned that scrapping handwritten exams in universities could
prompt "downward curriculum pressure" on primary and secondary schools to follow suit.
