One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage
have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become
vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich
variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world.

19
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake
every day. Even though laws have been made, the government does not have the power to enforce
them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s
water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries
regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago, people thought that the supply of clean water in the
world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water
is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something
now.

Travel is something which people do every day. It may be a trip to school, university or to work.
Travelling can often take a long time, especially when great distances need to be covered. People often

24
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

enjoy travelling abroad for holidays. But for some people travelling is not fun at all. Some people suffer
from travel sickness. This means that they will become very unwell each time they travel.
Travelling can be either affordable or costly. It often depends on how far you want to travel and
the choice of transport.
Ÿ Using a bicycle will not cost anything as you power it by using your legs. However, the use of a bicycle
can be hard work and can take a lot of time to travel long distances.
Ÿ Cars and motorcycles are faster modes of transport, but are more expensive to use as gasoline is
needed for them to work. It can usually be assumed that the longer you wish to travel, the more
expensive and time consuming it will be.
Ÿ The use of a plane is necessary for people wanting to travel very long distances. A pilot will fly a plane
from an airport for many thousands of miles to take people to places far away. Although traffic is rarely
a problem for airplanes, it can take a lot of preparation to travel by plane.
Ÿ A train is another mode of transport which is ideal for travelling long distances within the same
country, or between countries which are connected by land. A train driver will stop at train stations on
route to allow passengers wishing to proceed to the scheduled destination to board the train.
Ÿ A number of destinations can be travelled to by using the sea. People often depart from a harbour in
a ferry which is driven by a captain. If the journey is a long distance, people may choose to sleep on the
ferry while they wait to arrive at their destination. Some people choose to go on a cruise for their
holiday, which would involve stopping at many different city ports for a short amount of time.
Ÿ People who need to travel short distances may choose not to use any transport at all. People often
rely on their legs to take them to places nearby.
36. Why do some people not enjoy travelling?
A. They find it a waste of time B. It isn’t comfortable
C. It’s expensive D. They have trouble with their health
37. According to the passage, you don’t have to pay any money when you ________.

Ten-day Chinese Traffic Jam (24th August, 2010)
Motorists in China are experiencing a traffic jam from hell. Thousands of drivers have been stuck in
their cars for ten days on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway just outside the Chinese capital. The gridlock
started on August 14th when roadworks began. The bad news is that the chaos will continue for another
month. The tailbacks stretch back for 100km. The situation has been made worse by dozens of cars
breaking down or overheating. Around 400 traffic police have been assigned to patrol the jam to make
sure tensions don’t rise too far. The horrendous snarl-up is the result of the explosion in the number of
cars on Chinese roads. As China becomes wealthier, more people are buying cars, thus causing more
traffic problems.
Drivers trapped in the traffic jam know they have to be patient and sit for long hours in their cars.
There are no showers for them to use and if they need to use a toilet, they have to lock their car and
wander off to the nearest café. There are many complaints of local people taking advantage of the
stranded motorists by charging them more than double prices for drinks and snacks. People are keeping
themselves busy by playing cards or board games. Some have reported feeling homesick. One truck
driver, Juang Shao expressed his frustration over the situation: “I’ve missed my daughter’s birthday and
the food in my truck has probably turned into soup,” he said. He said he was worried his truck could be

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can
help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But
increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of
your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with
all forms of exercise it’s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can
damage muscles that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health
reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice.
Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing
you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it could
be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not true; shortness
of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in pain then
you should stop and take a rest.
36. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Doing exercises is good for health B. Cycling is one of the best forms of exercise
C. How to go jogging and swimming D. Three forms of exercise: jogging, swimming and cycling

the questions.
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago from
parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up these things so
fast that the Earth’s supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new ideas for
making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some plastics can last
for a long time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when they are not needed. They
can remain in rubbish dumps for hundreds of years.

Recycling is a good way to solve the problems of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can
be used again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be
recycled in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things
such as bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibres for clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping instead of plastic ones.

away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to
charity shops.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
The South American Amazon Rainforest is often called the botanical lungs of the planet. Covering
more than five-and-a-half million square kilometers, it additionally provides a natural habitat for over
half of the Earth’s most significant species of plants and animals in an area that is a little larger than
half of the world’s remaining rainforest.
Unfortunately, over the last four decades, this huge lush expanse has been ever more endangered
by deforestation. During the 1960s and up to the 1990s, thousands of trees were felled, but what
farmers did not realise is that the topsoil, when denuded of trees, is only considered cultivable for a

60
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

short period of time.

This means the farmers have to clear more and more land to continue running a profitable and
productive business. Despite the reduction in the number of trees being felled, the forest is still slowly
disappearing, diminishing the biodiversity of the area and having a terrible global impact because fewer
trees means it has less capacity to clean the air we breathe.

A. the lung B. the habitat C. the planet D. the Amazon Rainforest
37. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

39. Why does the reduction in the number of trees have a terrible global impact?
A. because fewer trees means it has less capacity to clean the air we breathe.
B. because farmers have to clear more and more land
C. because fanners did not realise that the topsoil is only considered cultivable for a short period of
time.

having combined many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’
online habits couldn’t be more different.
Sheila, aged 59, says, “I join to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos

70
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos
in the post.”
Ironically, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in
the UK are leaving it - only 2.2 million users are under 17 - but they’re not going far from their
smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock so I have to,” she says.
“I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones
at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other
hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. “We use
Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.
Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly
and was always connected and I felt like I was always working,” he says. “HOW could I tell my kids to
get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?” So, in the evenings and at weekends,
he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only
make calls and send text messages. “I’m not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies,
but the important thing is I’m setting a good example to my kids and spending more quality time with
them.”
36. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Digital Devices in Education B. Digital Habits of Parents

In the UK we each use about two hundred metal food and drink cans every year. Metal cans are
popular because they are convenient, easy to store and unbreakable. But when you have finished with
a can, what do you do with it? Do you throw it away and forget all about it?
Probably! But behind the scenes there are people whose job it is to make sure that the metal is
never wasted. In fact, recycling or reusing metal cans is so successful that every day of the year more
than five million cans start new lives in new metal products.
After you have thrown away your can, what happens? Well, first of all it is collected by the men
who empty your dustbin each week and taken to a landfill, together with all the other household
rubbish. Then the rubbish is stored and the metal cans are taken separately to a special factory where
they find their way back into your home in the form of knives and forks, garden equipment and, of

If you have decided to be a doctor or an engineer, it’s easy to get information about how to become
one. It’s more difficult if you want to be an actor. Nobody can say, “First you do this, then you do that,
and one day you’re an actor”. But I can tell you some things that will help.
Learning to be an actor usually starts at school. Drama lessons and clubs can teach students many
things, including different ways of acting and how to write their own plays. Writing helps you
understand a lot about acting. But even more important is learning to work in a group with other actors.
However, school lessons and clubs are only one part of learning about being an actor. Find small
theatre groups near where you live - and don’t worry about being the star! It doesn’t matter if you only
have one word to say in a play, it will still help you improve. You need to be on stage as much as possible,

86
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

in a variety of different types of plays.

When you finish school, you should think about studying at university. Of course, it’s possible to be
an actor without going to university, but doing a theatre course is a good idea for some people. These
courses may improve your acting, and also help you learn about a variety of subjects, such as business,
history, music and dance.

Every one of us produces garbage of one kind or another. Some of the garbage is thrown into the
sea. Some is burnt or buried under the ground. Every year we need to find about 800.000 cubic meters
of empty land just to bury the garbage.
This is the same as filling one football stadium with garbage up to 20 meters high! This garbage
damages the environment. Although a lot of garbage is buried in the ground, some of it gets blown
about in the wind. Also, when garbage is burnt, poisonous gases are given off into the air. The garbage
thrown into the sea will pollute the water.
What can we do about these problems? One very easy answer is to produce less garbage. We can
recycle things made from glass and paper as well as tin cans. People can refuse to take the plastic bags
from the shops and supermarkets by bringing with them their own bags or baskets when they go
shopping.
The government should tell people about the dangers of garbage pollution. Education is perhaps
the most important factor for keeping our environment healthy for the future.

EARTH HOUR
Earth Hour is an annual event which asks you to switch off all your lights for one hour. The aim is
to involve as many people as possible in positive change for our planet.
What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour is organised by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and it’s a big event usually at
the end of March every year. In this evening, people 'go dark’ - that is, switch off lights in their homes,
schools and businesses all at the same time for one hour. Earth Hour started in Australia in 2007, when
2.2 million people in Sydney turned off all unnecessary lights for an hour. Since then, it has grown into
an international event, and many countries around the world have taken part. Famous buildings that
have gone dark for Earth Hour include the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, the Petronas

106
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower
in Paris, the Forbidden City in Beijing and New York’s Empire State Building.
What’s the idea behind Earth Hour?
The idea is to raise awareness of environmental issues and call for action to protect nature, so that
people enjoy healthy, happy and sustainable lives now and in the future. It’s true that switching off the
lights for just one hour saves only a small amount of power. But this is only the beginning. On one level,
joining Earth Hour makes people think about the problem of climate change and what we can do in
everyday life to protect nature.
What does ‘60+’ mean?
The logo of Earth Hour is ‘60+’. The number 60 is for the 60 minutes of Earth Hour, and the plus
invites people to keep on taking action even after Earth Hour is finished. In fact, people who join Earth
Hour say that taking part makes them want to do more for the environment. The climate activist Greta
Thunberg says that ‘Earth Hour is every hour of every day.’
36. When is Earth Hour?
A. March 3rd annually B. at the end of March every year
C. in 2007 D. 60 minutes
37. What do people do for Earth Hour?
A. Switch off non-essential lights.

the road is clear, it is safe to cross the road. If you see small children or very old people, help them to

Everyone wants a job that pays well. Some people stop school early because they want to start
earning cash right away. Others spend years and years studying in school in order to get a better job.

degree can make an average of $52,200. With a master’s degree, he or she can make about $62,000.

Bamboo is an amazing plant. Did you know it is actually grass? In fact, giant bamboo is the largest

Cell phones are an integral part of our society and their main use is communication. They keep
students in touch with the rest of the world by giving them the power to interact with it. In my day, if
you forgot your lunch, you were at the mercy of the office calling home for you. Now, students have
the ability to solve their own problems and handle certain emergencies on their own.
Cell phones also allow students to keep in touch with students at other schools or friends that don’t
go to school. While not an educational benefit directly, better relationships can lead to higher self-
esteem and reduce isolation, which is good for everybody. In the same way, camera phones allow
students to capture the kinds of memories that help build a solid school culture, and, in some cases,
can act as documentation of misbehavior in the same way that store cameras provide evidence and
deter bad behavior.
Academically, the cell phone can act as to record video of a procedure of explanation that may
need to be reviewed later. It could be used to record audio of a lecture, as well, for later review. And
just imagine if classes could be easily taped for students who are absent? What if they could even be
streamed and seen from home instantly?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Scientists know that there were wolves on Earth about one million years ago. Dogs, on the other
hand, have not been on Earth nearly as long. The oldest dog remains, found in Germany, are about
14,000 years old. Scientists have proven that dogs are descended from wolves. Though wolves and dogs
share some of the same genes, they are not exactly alike. In fact, there are as many differences as there
are similarities between the two.
First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger feet, and a
broader skull than dogs. They also walk differently from dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its heels
raised up from the ground. This is more similar to a cat’s walk than a dogs.
Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This means
that dogs have been brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship. Wolves
have not been domesticated. They are wild animals. Having a dog as a pet is like having a juvenile wolf.
A young wolf will turn into a mature adult, while a young dog does not mature. A dog might seem smart
by performing tricks for people. Wolves need to be smart to survive in the wild. While it may not be
impossible to have a wolf as a pet, scientists are of the opinion that a wolf could never be domesticated
in the same way as a dog.
It’s important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each should be
appreciated in its own habitat or home.

the questions.
If you’d like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your vocabulary. In order
to do this, you have to practice a lot. I’m afraid there is not a shortcut for this. But there are many
effective ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short stories, comics, newspapers,
magazines, etc. depending on your English level. As you read, you can try to guess the meanings of
unknown words from the context of the sentence. If you cannot, then look up the definition in a
dictionary. English to English dictionary should be your first choice and keep the translator as last.
Another way of building vocabulary is to watch movies in English which will also help with
pronunciation. Try to be involved with the language as much as you can. Keep a vocabulary notebook
and write down a few words each day. Keep in mind that you have to revise them regularly. In my
opinion, to communicate with people all you need is words. Even if you just say the words one after
another, people most likely will understand what you mean regardless of the order of the words and
grammar.

superheroes and time travel may be used in this category.

facts, real people, real events and real places. Most of the time, non-fiction books are written by people

Out in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 kilometers from Los Angeles, are the islands of Hawaii, the 50th
state of the United States, with its area of 16,700 square kilometers.
The first Hawaiians arrived from other Pacific islands sometime around 100 AD. Then in 1778,
Captain Cook arrived in Hawaii. He put the islands on his maps of the Pacific Ocean. Then more ships
knew Hawaii and began stopping there for supplies. In 1820, a small group of people from the eastern
United States came to teach the Hawaiian people about Christianity. They started farms to grow sugar
cane and pineapples. Because there were not enough people to do all the farm work, farm owners
brought in Asians - Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos.
Later Koreans, Portuguese, and Puerto Ricans also came. More people came from the US
mainland and from other Pacific islands, and Hawaii has become a place with traditions from several
countries. People from the various nation groups have married each other, so today the groups are
partly mixed. Hawaiians are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They celebrate traditional
Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino holidays as well as holidays from the United States. Hawaii is known as
the Aloha State. “Aloha” means “hello”, “goodbye”, and “I love you” in Hawaiian.

Eating a balanced diet means choosing a wide variety of foods and drinks from all the food groups.
It also means eating certain things in moderation, namely saturated fat, cholesterol, refined sugar, and
salt. The goal is to take in nutrients you need for health at the recommended levels. You can get the
most nutrients by choosing foods with a high-nutrient density. Nutrient-dense foods provide
substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals and relatively few calories, such as fresh fruit and
vegetables, lean meat and fish, and whole grains and beans.
Low-nutrient dense foods have few vitamins but lots of calories, such as candy bars, soda, donuts
and onion rings. Vegetable sources of protein, such as nuts, beans, and whole grains are great choices
and offer vitamins, minerals and healthy fibers. The best protein choices are poultry and fish. For those
who love red meat, you should stick with the leanest cuts, choose moderate portion sizes, and make it
only an occasional part of your diet. Developing healthy eating habits is not as confusing or as restrictive
as you may imagine. The first principle of a healthy diet is simply to eat a wide variety of foods. This is
important because different foods make different nutritional contributions. Fruits, vegetables, grains,

cholesterol-should make up the bulk of the calories you consume. The rest should come from low-fat
dairy products, lean meat and poultry, and fish.

The lifestyle of people living in urban areas of big cities like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi is different
from that of people living in rural areas of villages etc. Life in the city is often modern and complicated.
City life is busy and most adults are working. The lifestyle is competitive and the daily routine consists

factory workers and street vendors etc. The cost of living in the urban areas is more than that in the
countryside. Because of this reason, people tend to work hard to make ends meet.
80% of the Vietnamese population lives in rural areas and villages which are scattered throughout
the lowlands areas and along the coastal line. In these areas, the way people live on a daily basis is in
strong contrast to life in urban areas and larger cities. People work in groups and take up jobs as farmers
and fishermen. Everybody is helpful to one another and is involved in a variety of activities such as
raising livestock, making handicrafts and farming etc. Along the coastal line, fishermen are very
dependent upon the sea as it is their only means of livelihood. These fishermen are thus very
hardworking and worship their work. Those people residing in the central highlands or northern
mountains live by growing a number of things like rice, coffee, rubber trees and tea etc. ...

the questions.
Sleep is very important. Did you know that sleep is more important than food? A person who does
not sleep dies at a younger age than a person who does not eat. Let’s say you go to sleep 12 hours later
than you usually do. It will take your body about three weeks to return to normal. We spend about one-
third (1/3) of our lives in sleep. That’s about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day.
Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. A teenager needs 9 to 10 hours
of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need only 3
hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down
to 6.5 hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older. Most people have some nights when they
cannot sleep. About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people cannot
fall asleep or stay asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia. The word insomnia means “no sleep.”
Some people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” They may sleep lightly and wake up several times. In the
morning, they only remember the times they were awake, so they think they were awake all night. This
is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special
ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statesman and inventor, had four beds. He
moved from one to the other to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France had 413 beds and hoped to fall
asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had a different way. He lay on his side
across the end of the bed!
25. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to stay healthy and keep fit.
B. Sleep more to make you healthier.
C. General knowledge about sleep.
D. Different people need different hours of sleep every day.

Community service is a very important factor when it comes to bettering your society. Through my
own experiences and observations, I have come to support my opinion on this issue.
My experience that supports this theory involved my job last summer of 2004. I paced around the
house for a while. Finally, I decided to sit down and read the newspaper. There was a section on the
community which contained a list of volunteer activities. They ranged from helping in soup kitchens to
helping as an electrician.
I called a number and decided to spend my time taking care of the grocery shopping for an elderly
handicapped woman. She has since become a good friend. Finally, I was spending my time having fun.
I was making a difference in one woman’s life. It may not have paid in dollars. The experience and
pleasure I gained was more valuable to me than any amount of money I could have earned.
Even more significant is the value and importance of community service in our society. Without
community service in our society, many people would not know the importance of charity. Serving in

197
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

your community takes away some of the problems that exist in your society and in the world as a whole.
In conclusion, I believe that choosing to help your community through community service should
be very important to you. It is also important to the people around you. I feel that helping in your
community to benefit others will bring you good things. You will also make the person you helped feel
cared about. 36. The text is mainly about.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Some people prefer the quiet life of the countryside. However, cities have many benefits over
villages.
Firstly, city life is very convenient. Children growing up in villages do not have as much access to
education as children in cities. Villages may not have enough children to create a school system that
goes all the way through high school; these kids must go to cities to continue their education. Cities
have multiple forms of education such as colleges and universities. More libraries and museums are
available in cities. Entertainment is readily accessible in cities in the form of movie theaters, amusement
parks and restaurants.
Secondly, the city provides better healthcare. Villages may have a local doctors’ clinic, but cities
often have multiple hospitals and doctors specializing in even rare conditions. In a city, ambulances and

202
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

firetrucks may take only minutes to arrive at the scene. In villages, getting to a hospital in an emergency
may take precious time.
Finally, it’s easier for people to have a good job and pursue their career. Villages have a smaller
population than cities, so there are fewer jobs available. Living in the city provides people with
thousands of career choices. Professionals have access to large businesses, hospitals and educational
facilities for work opportunities. People with less education can more readily find jobs in customer
service or entry-level jobs. Even specialized jobs and careers focused around the arts are viable in a city
with a large population.
I think cities bring lots of benefits to their residents. As city populations increase, so do businesses.
People have fast access to their needs and wants in cities. As time passes, more and more people all
over the world leave villages and move to cities, seeking a new life.

From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes in the majority of countries
around the world. Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we
lived a century ago. Viet Nam is no exception although there are some aspects of life in Viet Nam that
are similar to the way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Viet Nam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the past
mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly fewer people working in this sector
of the economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be employed in manufacturing
and tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Viet Nam, which was traditionally agricultural, is
transforming into an entirely different country. While agriculture is still an important component of the

212
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are accounting for an increasing amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The Vietnamese have kept many of the
characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as they were in the
past. This is best illustrated in the way they welcome foreigners. Moreover, the determination of the
people of Viet Nam has not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively and happily towards the
development of their country.
To conclude, while there are differences in past and present lifestyles, there are important
similarities. Although Viet Nam has changed in many ways, there always have been, and always will be,
the friendly welcoming smiles of the Vietnamese people.

American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and rapid

222
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of America’s strongest exports as franchises for Me Donald’s
and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China.
Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to quick lunches and
dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American cultural patterns.
By the late 20lh century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating more poultry,
fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many world cuisines in
forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables available with

was lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied than typical American cuisine.
Along with the state’s wines, California cuisine took its place among the acknowledged forms of fine
dining.

Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young children learn
the letters of the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures, and world events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is a link
between watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For another thing, many
TV shows are violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause kids to be more fearful. And of
course, more time in front of the TV means less time to study. Too much TV may also be the cause of
lower grades.
Experts do not agree on the solution to these problems. Some say that kids should watch only
educational programs; others say kids should watch no TV at all. And others suggest teaching them to
watch TV as occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.

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

On average, more than 100,000 wildfires, also called wildland fires or forest fires, destroy two
million hectares of land in the U.S every year. A wildfire moves at speeds of about 20 kilometers an
hour and can last for weeks, consuming everything - trees, brush, homes, and humans - in its path.
There are three conditions for a wildfire. Oxygen is necessary for a fire to bum. Heat sources help
start the wildfire. Although most wildfires are started by people, natural factors like lightning, hot
winds, and even the sun can all provide enough heat to start a wildfire.
Firefighters fight wildfires by removing the conditions for a wildfire to bum. Traditional methods
include using water and fire retardants to put out the fires. Firefighters also fight wildfires with
“controlled burning”. These controlled forest fires remove small trees, bushes, and ground litter from

240
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

a forest. This will deprive a wildfire of fuel and prevent future forest fires.
Although often harmful and destructive to humans, wildfires play an important role in nature. Even
healthy forests contain dead trees and decaying plant matter. When a fire turns them to ashes,
nutrients return to the soil. They also remove sick plants and harmful insects from a forest. And by
burning through thick leaves and branches, wildfires allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, making it
possible for a new generation of trees to grow.
21. What does the phrase “deprive a wildfire of fuel” in the third paragraph mean?
A. create fuel for a wildfire B. provide a wildfire with fuel
C. save fuel for a wildfire D. take away fuel from a wildfire
22. What does the word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. wildfires B. forests C. ashes D. nutrients

A. They bum all leaves and branches. B. They bum sick plants and harmful insects.
C. They bum a new generation of trees. D. They bum nutrients in the soil to ashes.
24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Benefits of wildfires B. Causes of wildfires
C. Worldwide wildfires D. Controlled wildfires

correct answer to each of the questions.
Coal, oil and natural gas supply modem civilization with most of its power. However, not only are
supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it’s important to
improve, explore and develop such alternative energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind power.
Each of these alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the
atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problem of
what to do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but
impractical for communities located far from moving water. Wind power is a pollution - free source of
renewable energy but it can’t be used in many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Solar
power is renewable, it does not cause pollution and it does not add the earth’s heat load. However, it
is difficult to collect and store. Solar power also requires expensive equipment.
Every source of energy has its disadvantages. One way to minimize them is to use less energy.
Conservation efforts coupled with renewable energy resources will ensure supplies of clean, affordable
energy for humanity’s future.

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water
first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body
temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your
kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After
drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps US go
to the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 millilitres of water each day. But don’t drink all of that
water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s better to
drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between
meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can

267
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

interfere with normal digestion.

probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A

When the Statue of Liberty was presented to the United States of America by the people of France,
the people in America did not understand that Miss Liberty was a gift to all the Americans. They thought

271
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

she was a gift only to New York. So they didn't want to pay for her base. At that time, Joseph Pulitzer
was editor of the World newspaper. He wrote stories that asked people to give money to help pay for
Miss Liberty’s base. Pulitzer asked his friends who worked at other cities’ newspapers to help. Soon the
country knew that Miss Liberty was a gift for everyone. The people sent money. At least there was
enough money to build the base.
In Paris, the huge statue was taken down piece by piece. She was carefully packed in 214 boxes. In
June 1884, she left for America. When Miss Liberty’s ship arrived in America, ninety boats greeted her
with flags flying. They went with her into New York Harbor. The base, which had to be very big and solid
to hold the lady, was not finished. So, Miss Liberty was stored on Bedloe’s Island. When the last stone
of the base was put in place, the workers showered coins from their pockets into the wet mortar. They
were very happy. Next came the hard task of putting Miss Liberty together. The people on shore
watched each day as the framework rose higher into the sky. Then came the copper “skin". Miss Liberty
began as a sign of the friendship between the two countries. Since that time, she has come to mean
freedom for the Americans.
21. Which of the following best describes the sequence of stages that the statue passed through?
A. packed in boxes, carried overseas, taken apart, put together, stored on an island.
B. put together, stored on an island, packed in boxes, carried overseas, taken apart.
C. taken apart, packed in boxes, carried overseas, stored on an island, put together.
D. put together, taken apart, packed in boxes, carried overseas, stored on an island.
22. When did people give Miss Liberty the copper “skin"?
A. After taking the statue apart.
B. Before putting the statue together.
C. Before the workers showed coins from their pockets into the wet mortar.
D. After putting the statue together on the base.
23. When was the statue of Liberty presented to the US people?
A. In the 18th century. B. In the 19th century.
C. In the early 1884. D. In the late 18th century.

The Pilgrims’ first winter was very hard. Almost half the group died of cold, hunger and disease. But

the Indians of Massachusetts taught the Pilgrims to plant com, to hunt and to fish. When the next fall
came, the Pilgrims had plenty of food. They were thankful to God and the Indians and had a feast to
give thanks. They invited the Indians to join them. This was the first Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving became a national holiday many years later because of the effort of a woman named
Sarah Hale. For forty years Sarah Hale wrote to each president and asked for a holiday of Thanksgiving.
At last she was successful. In 1863 President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a holiday.
How much is Thanksgiving today like the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving? In many ways they are different.
For example, historians think that the Pilgrims ate deer, not turkey. The idea of Thanksgiving, though,
is very much the same: Thanksgiving is a day on which we celebrate and give thanks.

We can develop alternative sources of energy, and unless we try, we’ll never succeed. Instead of
burning fossil fuels, we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because
electricity can be produced from any source of energy.
If we didn’t waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. We can save more energy by
conservation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind
power, tidal power, hydroelectric plants... our fossil fuels will run out and we’ll all freeze or starve to
death.

the sun, the waves and the winds last forever. We really won’t survive unless we start working on

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.
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born 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.

two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.

correct answer to each of the questions.
From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes all over the world. Substantial
differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we lived a century ago. Vietnam is
no exception although there are some facets of life that still resemble the way of life of the twentieth
century.
Living in Viet Nam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the past mainly
worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly less people working in this sector of the
economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be employed in manufacturing and
tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Viet Nam, which was traditionally agrarian, is transforming
into an entirely different country. While agriculture is still an important component of the Vietnamese
economy, other enterprises are accounting for an increasing amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The people of Viet Nam have retained
many of the characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as they
were in the past. This is best exemplified in the way they welcome foreigners to their unique country.
Moreover, the resilience and determination of the people of Viet Nam has not changed. The
Vietnamese work collectively and happily towards the development of their country.

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.
When your mobile phone runs out of battery power, all you have to do to get it working again is to
charge it up. Imagine if you could do the same thing with your car. Researchers at car companies are
developing cars that plug into electric sockets. These vehicles might become the cars of the future.
The cars are called plug-in hybrids and they get most of their power from electricity, just like other
electrical devices like mobile phones and laptops. This technology would significantly reduce the
amount of petrol that people use. For countries that depend on other oil producing countries for their
petrol supply this could be a great advantage.
Presently, most cars use petrol. Unfortunately, burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide gas,
and when a large amount of this gas and other greenhouse gases are trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere,
they cause global warming. Hybrid vehicles have already been developed and are being driven. These
cars get their power from both petrol and electricity; they are able to travel longer distances with less
petrol. Plug-in hybrids will be even more advanced as they are designed to be powered mainly by
electricity and use only a small amount of petrol. It might be some time before the cars will become
available to the public but if they do, it will be a major breakthrough for transport.

Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effect of global warming.
Scientists have already observed shifts in the life cycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers
blooming earlier and birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they
live or their annual migration patterns due to warmer temperatures.
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountain sides toward

320
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

higher elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow
too warm. In many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find
cities or farmland blocking their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique
ecosystems, such as those found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because
migration to new habitats is not possible. For example, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic
are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but have nowhere farther to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have
estimated that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees
of further warming. The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and
animals. Some species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to
adjust quickly enough and may disappear.
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming.
Warmer ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which if prolonged will lead to the
death of the coral. Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to
widespread bleaching and death of coral reefs around the world. Also increasing carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere enters the ocean and increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further
stresses ocean ecosystems.
21. Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flowers to ______________.
A. die instantly B. bloom earlier C. become lighter D. lose color
22. The pronoun “those” in paragraph 2 refers to ______________.
A. species B. ecosystems C. habitats D. areas
23. According to the passage, if some species are not able to adjust quickly to warmer temperatures,
______________.
A. they may be endangered B. they can begin to develop
C. they will certainly need water D. they move to tropical forests
24. The bleaching of coral reefs as mentioned in paragraph 4 indicates ______________.
A. the water absorption of coral reefs B. the quick growth of marine mammals
C. the blooming phase of sea weeds D. the slow death of coral reefs

Reading to oneself is a modem activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical
and mediaeval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant
reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.
One should be wary, 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

325
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

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 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.
21. Reading aloud was more common in the mediaeval 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
22. It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an
indication of ___________.
A. a decline of standards of literacy
B. a change in the readers’ interest
C. an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes
D. an improvement of printing techniques
23. The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means a person who ___________.
A. is good at public speaking B. practises reading to an audience
C. takes part in an audition D. is interested in spoken language

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 Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear 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 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

331
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

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.
21. 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.
22. 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
23. The word “there” in the last sentence of paragraph 4 refers to ____________.
A. the planet Mercury B. the core of a black dwarf
C. our own planet D. the outer surface of the Sun

correct answer to each of the questions.
Probably the most famous film commenting on twentieth-century technology is Modem Times,
made in 1936. Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing
him, happened to describe working conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young
farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines. Within four or five years these
young men’s health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories.
The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp.

336
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

Abruptly, the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory.
However, the rather bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It is replaced by
a gentle note of satire. Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture.
Scenes of factory interiors account for less than one-third of the footage of Modern Times, but they
contain some of the film’s most pointed social commentary as well as its funniest comic situation. No
one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-moving
conveyor belt, almost losing his mind in the process.
Clearly, Modem Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a social
context. It does not offer a radical social message, but it accurately reflects the sentiments of many who
felt they were helpless victims of an over-mechanized world.

In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village of Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional craft of
weaving flowered mats. The mat’s high quality makes them popular domestically, and they are also
exported to markets worldwide including Korea, Japan and America.
In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started here
some 50 years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous mat weaving village
in the northern province of Ninh Binh. However, the technique of weaving sedge mats in Long Dinh, as
compared with other places in the South, is somewhat different. Long Dinh branded mats are thicker
and have more attractive colours and patterns.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs during the

367
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

dry season, from January to April. Weavers have to work their hardest in May and June, otherwise,
when the rainy season starts in July, they will have to put off finishing their products till the next dry
season. No matter how much work it requires, Long Dinh mat producers stick with this occupation, as
it brings a higher income than growing rice.
This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly 1,000
households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet market demands, Long Dinh mat
weavers have created more products in addition to the traditional sedge mats. Particularly, they are
producing a new type of mat made from the dried stalks of water hyacinth, a common material in the
Mekong Delta.
Thanks to the planning and further investment, the mat weaving occupation has indeed brought in
more income for local residents. Their living standards have improved considerably, resulting in better
conditions for the whole village.

Winter is cold in some places. Many plants do not grow during winter. Some plants die. Snow and
ice may cover the ground. It can be hard for animals to find food during winter. Animals get through
this time in many ways.

Some animals store food in their homes. They do not sleep all winter, but they do much less. They
live on what they saved in the summer and fall. This is what squirrels, beavers, and raccoons do. Skunks

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this
water first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body
temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your
kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After
drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps US go

382
Giaoandethitienganh.info sưu tầm

to the bathroom more easily.

Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 millimeters of water each day. But don’t drink all of
that water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s better
to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between
meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can
interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are
probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A
little more water each day could make you much healthier.

As a result of years of research, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health.
For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables.
Because of their diet, they have high rates of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat
large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have low rates of cancer and heart
disease. In fact, the Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, when people
move to the US, the rates of heart disease and cancer increase as their diet changes. Moreover, as
hamburgers, ice-cream, and other high fat food become popular in Japan, the rates of heart disease
and cancer are increasing there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy products in other
countries such as Cuba, Mauritius and Hungary. Not surprisingly, the disease rates in these countries
are increasing along with the change in diet. Consequently, doctors everywhere advise people to eat
more grains, fruit and vegetables and to eat less meat and fewer dairy products.
