III. Give the correct form of the words in brackets.

When computers appeared in the 1950s, many people thought that it would not be long
before these (1. IMPRESS) machines started talking, thinking for themselves and taking
over the world. People predicted all kinds of things, from robot (2. SERVE) to
computerized houses. None of it happened. Despite the billions of dollars and years of
research given to developing artificial intelligence, computers are still unable to hold a
normal (3. CONVERSE) with a human being. In fact, although computers today can
process information thousands of times faster than they could fifty years ago, they are only
two or three times better at using human language than they were back then. In (4.
ADD), the huge increase in computer use has proved that today’s computers, with their
windows, mice, icons and commands, do not operate in the same way as the human brain. If
this were not true, there would be no need for the thousands of tech support staff (5.
EMPLOY) by all centres.
The trouble is that, even though computers can turn (6. SPEAK) into text, recognise
objects by using cameras, search through (7. END) amounts of data and even use robot
(8. MECHANIC) to move like human beings, they are unable to put all these (9. ABLE)
together and actually think and function like human beings. One of the reasons for this is
that scientists still do not know much about how the human brain works, so it is (10.
POSIBLE) to program computers to copy the brain’s processes.

III. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will
cause a disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the
biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware
of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great
damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but
are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the
parents are very supportive of their child.
Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by
taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even
drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little
about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes
Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful
musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as
successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very
unhappy when he doesn’t win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents
and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
1. One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to _________.
A. push their child into trying too much C. make their child become a musician
B. help their child to become a genius D. neglect their child’s education
2. Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong if they __________.
A. force their children into achieving success
B. understand and help their children sensibly
C. themselves have been very successful
D. arrange private lessons for their children

4. Michael Collins is fortunate in that _____________.
5
 A. his father is a musician B. his parents are quite rich
C. his mother knows little about music D. his parents help him in a sensible way
5. The phrase “crazy about” in the passage most likely means “ _______”.
A. “surprised at” B. “extremely interested in”
C. “completely unaware of” D. “confused about”
6. Winston’s parents push their son so much and he _________.
A. has won a lot of piano competition B. can’t learn much music from them
C. has become a good musician D. is afraid to disappoint them
7. The word “They” in the passage refers to __________.

9. All of the following people are musicians EXCEPT ________.
A. Winston’s father B. Winston’s mother
C. Michael’s father D. Michael’s mother
10. The two examples given in the passage illustrate the principle that __________.

III. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C, D) for each question or
sentence.
What is ‘extreme’ weather? Why are people talking about it these days? ‘Extreme’ weather
is an unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or
at the wrong time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are
constantly showing such extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010:
28 centimetres of rain fell on Riode Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres
of rain in two days and there was record rainfall in Pakistan.
1
0
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides
followed, burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people.
Meanwhile, other parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East
Africa have been hit in the last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as
in 2003 in Europe. That summer, 35.000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or
are they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earth’s climate? Peter Miller says
it’s probably a mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important
influences on weather events are natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous
weather cycles, El Niño and La Niña, originate in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the
warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects weather all around the world. On the
other hand, the temperature of the Earth’s oceans is slowly but steadily going up. And this is
a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that trap heat in the Earth’s
atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer oceans produce
more water vapor - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat, it
produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells US that the water vapor in the atmosphere
has gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms,
hurricanes and typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael
Oppenheimer, says that we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to
act now to save lives and money in the future.
1. It is stated in the passage that extreme weather is ______.
A. becoming more common B. not a natural occurrence
C. difficult for scientists to understand D. killing more people than ever before
2. Which of these things is the basis of normal weather patterns?
A. greenhouse gases B. human activity C. El Niño and La Niña D. water vapour
3. What caused thousands of deaths in 2003?
A. a period of hot weather B. floods after a bad summer
C. a long spell of heavy rain D. large-scale landslides
4. According to the passage, extreme weather is a problem because ______.
A. we can never predict it B. it only affects crowded places
C. it’s often very destructive D. its causes are completely unknown
5. Which statement is NOT supported by the information in the passage?
A. Extreme weather is substantially influenced by human activity.
B. Unusual weather events are part of natural cycles.
C. We can limit the bad effects of extreme weather.
D. Such extreme weather is hardly the consequence of human activity.

ROOTED IN THE PAST (de trong S BT anh9)

Good manners are a treasure to the people who possess them, as well as to the
community they live in. Manners are taught, learnt, and passed from generation to
generation.
Even hundreds of years ago, children were taught to behave responsibly. They learnt
to respect seniority. When they passed an object to another person, they had to use both
hands. When they entered a room, they had to bow and greet the oldest person first. Boys
learnt to work hard to support their families. Girls learnt to do housework, and to take care
of others. Loyalty and honesty were highly appreciated. When they made a mistake, they
1
1
would not let another person be punished for it. That would be cowardly and mean. They
were taught that families were strong, and everybody should stick together in adversity.
Fortunately, many of these values have been well preserved. They have contributed
to making the unique Vietnamese culture, and strengthening our society.
1. Good manners are _______________________.
A. of the community B. of great value C.traditional D.only for the old
2. What was seen as a boy’s main duty?
A. to support his family B. to respect seniority C.to do housework D.to share good
things
