One of the main functions for the WHO continues to be tracking health trends across the globe. With
malnutrition and (26) diseases supporting high mortality rates in underdeveloped countries, it is a mission
of this organization to assess trends in order to ensure that its resources are going to the communities that need the
most help. The Twelfth Programme of Work describes this in great detail and discusses not only child and
maternal mortality rates, but also the spread of disease in (27) region, the expanding number of society that is
aged 55 and over, and sanitation issues that contribute to the spread of disease.
WHO continues to be a (28) of integrity, rationality, and hope for the communities around the world that face
global health crises. It is no wonder that it has an amazing reputation for providing excellent service for global
communities (29) being an example for other organizations all over the world. Now (30) five important
functions of the World Health Organization have been covered, consider learning more about current projects the
organization is overseeing to see if help is needed.
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 30 to 34.
A rugby match lasts for 80 minutes – separated into two 40-minute halves with a ten minute break at half-
time. The game is contested by two teams consisting of 15 players each. These 15 players assume different positions
on the pitch with 8 making up the forwards, also called the pack, and 7 making up the backs.
The ball can be moved either by carrying it, kicking it or passing it. However, at no point can the ball be passed
forward by hand, if a player wants to move the ball forward, he must carry or kick it. If the ball is passed forward, it is
called a knock on which results in a scrum to the other team. A scrum is used many times during a rugby game and is
usually the normal restart for a number of situations.
If a team are awarded a penalty, they have three options on how they want to play it. They can kick the ball
out of bounds and receive a lineout, take a free kick or take a penalty kick at goal. Whatever the team decides to do,
the team that committed the offence have to retreat 10 metres from the site of the foul.
As you might have guessed, the aim of the game is to score as many points as possible – whether by try,
conversion, drop goal or penalty – and ultimately, finish with a higher score than the opposing team.
C. How to move the ball forward in rugby D. Free kick and penalty kick in rugby
Question 33: The correct ways to move the ball forward in rugby is .
Question 35: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an option on how to play when awarded a penalty?
C. retreating 10 metres from the site of the foul D. taking a penalty kick at goal
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 35 to 42
Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear. The first is through ordinary or “background”
extinctions, where species that fail to adapt are slowly replaced by more adaptable life forms. The second is when
large numbers of species go to the wall in relatively short periods of biological time. There have been five such
extinctions, each provoked by cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by some geological eruption, climate shift, or
space junk slamming into the Earth. Scientists now believe that another mass extinction of species is currently under
way – and this time human fingerprints are on the trigger.
How are we are doing it? Simply by demanding more and more space for ourselves. In our assault on the
ecosystems around us we have used a number of tools, from spear and gun to bulldozer and chainsaw. Certain
especially rich ecosystems have proved the most vulnerable. In Hawaii more than half of the native birds are now
gone
– some 50 species. Such carnage has taken place all across the island communities of the Pacific and Indian
oceans. While many species were hunted to extinction, others simply succumbed to the “ introduced predators’
that humans brought with them: the cat, the dog, the pig, and the rat.
Today the tempo of extinction is picking up speed. Hunting is no longer the major culprit, although rare birds
and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, tusks, and internal organs, or taken as savage pets.
Today the main threat comes from the destruction of the habitat of wild plants, animals, and insects need to survive.
The draining and damming of wetland and river courses threatens the aquatic food chain and our own seafood
industry.
Overfishing and the destruction of fragile coral reefs destroy ocean biodiversity. Deforestation is taking a staggering
toll, particularly in the tropics where the most global biodiversity is at risk. The shinking rainforest cover of the
Congo and Amazon river basins and such place as Borneo and Madagascar have a wealth of species per hectare
existing nowhere else. As those precious hectares are drowned or turned into arid pasture and cropland, such species
disappear forever.

Ever since it was first possible to make a real robot, people have been hoping for the
invention of a machine that would do all the necessary jobs around the house. If boring and
repetitive factory work could be (26) by robots, why not boring and repetitive
For a long time, the only people who really gave the problem their attention were
amateur inventors. And they came up against a major difficulty. That is, housework is (27)
very complex. It has never been one job, it has always been many. A factory robot
carries out one task endlessly until it is reprogrammed to do something else. It doesn't run the
whole factory. A housework robot, on the other hand, has to do (28) different types of
cleaning and carrying jobs and also has to cope with all the different shapes and positions of
rooms, furniture, ornaments, cats and dogs.
(29) , there have been some developments recently. Sensors are available to help
the robot locate objects and avoid obstacles. We have the technology to produce the
hardware. All that is missing is the software - the programs (30) will operate the
machine.
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 31 to 35.
Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices.
For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing
reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over
telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant
site and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there
are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. Although the numbers are rising annually, the trend
does
not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable
Executive” as its cover story a few years ago.
Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular? Clearly, change simply takes time. But in
addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that
supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too
difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the
manager's responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to
accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many
are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more
visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a
work area, they never really get away from the office.
Question 31: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Telecommuting and reasons why it’s not really popular
B. How many telecommuters are there in USA?
C. How to set aside a work area at home
D. Technologies’ roll in making telecommuting possible
Question 32: The word “terminal” in paragraph 1 mostly means .
A. office B. table C. room D. building
Question 33: According to the passage, the number of American workers involving in telecommuting is
.
A. More than 8 million B. More than predicted in Business Week
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today D. Fewer than last
year Question 34: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. systems B. telecommuters C. executives D. responsibilities
Question 35: Which of the following is TRUE about the reason why telecommuting has not
become popular?
A. Employees need regular interaction with their families.
B. Employees feel that a work area in their home is away from the office.
C. Employees are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office.
D. Employees are ignorant of telecommuting.

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Unlike these fish, which are actually extinct, the coelacanth is a type of fish that was
believed to be extinct. However, an unexpected twentieth-century rediscovery of living
coelacanths has brought about a reassessment of the status of this prehistoric sea creature that
was believed to have long since disappeared from the Earth.
From fossil remains of the coelacanth, palaeontologists have determined that the
coelacanth was in existence around 350 million years ago, during the Palaeozoic Era, more
than 100 million years before the first dinosaurs arrived on Earth. The most recent fossilized
coelacanths date from around 70 million years ago, near the end of the Mesozoic and near the
end of the age of dinosaurs. Because no fossilized remnants of coelacanths from the last 70
million years have been found, the coelacanth was believed to have died out around the same
time as the dinosaurs. The prehistoric coelacanth studied by palaeontologists had distinctive
characteristics that differentiated it from other fish. It was named for its hollow spine and was
known to have been powerful carnivores because of its many sharp teeth and a special joint in
the skull that allowed the ferocious teeth to move in coordination with the lower jaw. It also
had a pair of fins with unusual bony and muscular development that allowed the coelacanth to
dart around the ocean floor. These fins also enable the coelacanth to search out prey trying to
hide on the ocean bottom.
In 1983, a living specimen of the coelacanth was discovered in the catch of a fishing
boat off the coast of South Africa, and since then numerous other examples of the coelacanth
have been found in the waters of the Indian Ocean. This modern version of the coelacanth is
not exactly the same as its prehistoric cousin. Today’s coelacanth is larger than its prehistoric
relative, measuring up to six feet in length and weigh up to 150 pounds. However, the modern
version of the coelacanth still possesses the characteristic hollow spine and distinctive fins
with their unusual bony and muscular structure.
Question 36: What is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Fish that was once extinct B. Fish that, surprisingly, is not extinct
Question 38: According to paragraph 2, why was coelacanth believed to have died out at the
same time as the dinosaurs?
C. No fossilized remnants have been found from the last 70 million years.
Question 42: What is NOT true about the prehistoric coelacanth, according to the passage?
A. It measured as much as six feet in length. B. It was smaller than the modern
coelacanth.
C. It had a hollow spine and distinctive fins. D. It weighed less than 150 pounds.

30.
Kể từ ngày đầu tiên có thể chế tạo một robot thực sự, mọi người đã hy vọng phát minh
ra một cỗ máy có thể làm tất cả các công việc cần thiết xung quanh nhà. Nếu công việc nhà
máy nhàm chán và lặp đi lặp lại có thể được giải quyết bởi robot thì tại sao các công việc gia
đình nhàm chán và lặp đi lặp lại lại không?
Trong một thời gian dài, những người duy nhất thực sự chú ý đến vấn đề này là những
nhà phát minh nghiệp dư. Và họ đã phải đối mặt với một khó khăn lớn. Đó là việc nhà thực ra
rất phức tạp. Đó chưa bao giờ là một công việc nhưng luôn có nhiều việc phải làm. Một robot
nhà máy thực hiện một nhiệm vụ vô tận cho đến khi nó được lập trình lại để làm việc khác.
Nó không điều hành toàn bộ nhà máy. Mặt khác, một robot làm việc nhà phải thực hiện một
số loại công việc dọn dẹp và mang vác khác nhau và cũng phải đối phó với tất cả các hình
dạng và vị trí khác nhau của căn phòng, đồ nội thất, đồ trang trí, mèo và chó.
Tuy nhiên, gần đây đã có một số phát triển. Các cảm biến có sẵn để giúp robot xác định
vị trí các vật thể và tránh chướng ngại vật. Chúng tôi có công nghệ để sản xuất phần cứng.
Tất cả những gì còn thiếu là phần mềm - các chương trình sẽ vận hành máy.

35. C Dịch nghĩa câu hỏi: Điều nào sau đây là ĐÚNG về lý do tại sao việc làm
việc từ xa không trở nên phổ biến?

văn phòng.

Dịch nghĩa toàn bài:
Viễn thông là một hình thức giao tiếp máy tính giữa nhà và văn phòng của các nhân
viên. Đối với nhân viên có công việc liên quan đến việc ngồi tại một thiết bị đầu cuối hoặc bộ
xử lý văn bản nhập dữ liệu hoặc gõ báo cáo, vị trí của máy tính không quan trọng. Nếu máy
có thể giao tiếp qua đường dây điện thoại, khi công việc hoàn thành, nhân viên có thể kết nối
đến máy tính văn phòng từ xa và truyền tài liệu cho sếp của họ. Một cuộc khảo sát gần đây
trên tờ Nước Mỹ ngày nay ước tính có khoảng 8,7 triệu người làm việc từ xa. Mặc dù con số
đang tăng lên hàng năm, xu hướng dường như không đáng kể như dự đoán khi Tuần lễ kinh
doanh xuất bản “The Portable Executive” như câu chuyện trên trang bìa của nó vài năm
trước.
Tại sao làm việc từ xa không trở nên phổ biến hơn? Rõ ràng, sự thay đổi cần mất thời
gian. Nhưng ngoài ra, đã có sự kháng cự chủ động từ phía nhiều nhà quản lý. Các giám đốc
điều hành này cho rằng việc giám sát các nhân viên viễn thông trong một lực lượng lao động
lớn rải rác khắp đất nước là quá khó khăn, hoặc ít nhất là các hệ thống quản lý họ chưa phát
triển, do đó làm phức tạp trách nhiệm của người quản lý.
Cũng đúng là những nhân viên được cung cấp tùy chọn làm việc từ xa thường miễn
cưỡng chấp nhận cơ hội. Hầu hết mọi người cảm thấy rằng họ cần tương tác thường xuyên
với một nhóm và nhiều người lo ngại rằng họ sẽ không có cùng sự cân nhắc cho sự thăng tiến
nếu họ không được nhìn nhận rõ hơn trong môi trường văn phòng. Một số người cảm thấy
rằng ngay cả khi một không gian trong nhà của họ được dành làm khu vực làm việc, họ
không bao giờ thực sự rời bỏ văn phòng.

Không giống như những loài cá thực sự tuyệt chủng, cá vây tay là một loại cá được cho
là đã tuyệt chủng. Tuy nhiên, một cuộc khám phá lại những con cá vây tay còn sống ngoài dự
đoán từ thế kỷ XX đã mang lại sự đánh giá lại tình trạng của sinh vật biển thời tiền sử này,
được cho là đã biến mất khỏi Trái đất từ lâu.
Từ tàn tích hóa thạch của cá vây tay, các nhà cổ sinh vật học đã xác định rằng chúng tồn
tại khoảng 350 triệu năm trước, trong kỷ nguyên Cổ sinh, hơn 100 triệu năm trước khi những
con khủng long đầu tiên đến Trái đất. Cá vây tay hóa thạch gần đây nhất có niên đại khoảng
70 triệu năm trước, gần cuối Đại trung sinh và gần cuối thời đại khủng long. Do không tìm
thấy tàn dư hóa thạch của cá vây tay từ 70 triệu năm trước, nên chúng được cho là đã chết
cùng thời với khủng long. Cá vây tay thời tiền sử được nghiên cứu bởi các nhà cổ sinh vật
học có những đặc điểm riêng biệt giúp phân biệt nó với các loài cá khác. Nó được đặt tên theo
cái cột sống rỗng của nó và được biết đến là loài ăn thịt mạnh mẽ vì có nhiều răng sắc nhọn
và một khớp đặc biệt trong hộp sọ cho phép những chiếc răng hung dữ di chuyển phối hợp
với hàm dưới. Nó cũng có một cặp vây với sự phát triển xương và cơ bắp khác thường cho
phép nó phóng vòng quanh đáy đại dương. Những chiếc vây này cũng cho phép cá vây tay
tìm kiếm con mồi đang cố gắng ẩn nấp dưới đáy đại dương.
Năm 1983, một mẫu vật sống của cá vây tay đã được phát hiện bởi một chiếc thuyền
đánh cá ngoài khơi Nam Phi, và kể từ đó, rất nhiều ví dụ khác về cá vây tay đã được tìm thấy
ở vùng biển Ấn Độ Dương. Phiên bản hiện đại này của cá vây tay không hoàn toàn giống với
người anh em tiền sử của nó. Ngày nay, cá vây tay lớn hơn so với họ hàng thời tiền sử của nó,
dài tới sáu feet và nặng tới 150 pounds. Tuy nhiên, phiên bản hiện đại của chúng vẫn sở hữu
cột sống rỗng đặc trưng và vây đặc biệt với cấu trúc xương và cơ bắp khác thường.

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has varied from one to forty-
eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the
thirteen original colonies.
Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by that time Vermont and Kentucky
have joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention of mint officials to add a star for each new state. Following
the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half dollars were produced with
sixteen stars.
As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would not prove practical and
the coins from 1798 were issued with only thirteen Stars - one for each of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one
variety of the 1828 half-cent was issued with only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this
is the result of a die break and is not a true error.
Question 31: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Stars on American coins
B. The teaching of astronomy in state universities
C. Colonial stamps and coins
D. The star as national symbol of the United States
Question 32: The expression "Curiously enough" is used because the author finds it strange that _.
A. Tennessee was the first state to use half dimes
B. Vermont and Kentucky joined the Union in 1794
C. silver coins with fifteen stars appeared before coins with thirteen
D. no silver coins were issued until 1794
Question 33: Why was a coin produced in 1828 with only twelve stars?
A. Tennessee had left the Union. B. The mint made a mistake.
C. There were twelve states at the time. D. There is a change in design policy.
Question 34: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the denomination of an American coin?
A. Half nickel B. Half-dollar C. Hall cent D. Half dime
Question 35: The word "their" in line 1 refers to .
A. features B. coins C. stars D. colonies
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.
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not too far off. A new survey from
the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology intersects with teen friendships – and the results show that 57
percent of teens have made at least one new friend online. Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever
meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their day texting with friends,
and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a daily basis (outside of school hallways). These new
forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships day-to-day – 27 percent of teens instant message their friends every
day, 23 percent connect through social media every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main
form of communication – almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their closest
friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and maintaining friendships) in the
gaming world – 89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play with online-only friends. Whether they're close with
their teammates or not, online garners say that playing makes them feel "more connected" to friends they know, or garners they've
never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity – 62 percent of teens are quick to
share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend (although 80 percent still consider their phone number the
best method of contact). Despite the negative consequences-21 percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of
posts they see on social media – teens also have found support and connection through various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of
teens received support during a challenging time in their lives via social media platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with current friends, it can also make
a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are more likely to block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of

Classrooms have changed considerably in the last hundred years. In the early 1900s,
the (26) class in England was twice as big as the average in the 1960s – sixty
pupils per class compared with thirty. Nowadays, the average class size in a secondary school
is twenty-three, (27) is still higher than in many other countries. A hundred years
(28) , teachers were stricter than today. Punishment was also more severe:
pupils were often hit for bad behaviour - a practice not allowed in schools today. The
curriculum in the past was also more extensive and concentrated on Reading, Writing and
Arithmetic – (29) today’s curriculum includes everything from business studies
to philosophy. Some people think that the teaching methods (30) in schools
today are not as effective as those used in the past but, given the wide range of interactive
tools available today, the 21st century is definitely the most interesting time to be in the
classroom for teachers and pupils alike.

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.
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he
sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went
in the
winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone
and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no – it was covered with
green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and
looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said
it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfilment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the
tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who
they are – and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life – can only be measured at the end, when all the
seasons are up. If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer,
fulfilment of your fall.
Don’t judge a life by one difficult season. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

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.
Though gambling is typically associated with casino games, strategic sports betting is rapidly gaining in
popularity – and that's a whole other ball game, Prof. Dannon explains. "Sports gamblers seem to believe
themselves the cleverest of all gamblers. They think that with experience and knowledge – such as player's
statistics, manager's habits, weather conditions, and stadium capacity – they can predict the outcome of a game
better than the average person."
But in a study published in the journal Psychopathology, Prof. Dannon and Dr. Ronen Huberfeld of the Beer
Yaakov Mental Health Center determined that neither betting experience nor knowledge of the arcane details of the
game is connected to successful betting outcomes. Indeed, he says, the two most successful gamblers in their study
had no prior experience in gambling or knowledge of the sport in question. This should inform how psychologists
approach sports gamblers, who need to be treated using different methods than their casino-addicted counterparts. For
their study, the researchers focused on the field of soccer betting, one of the most popular and growing forms of
sports gambling. They recruited three groups of participants, including 53 professional sports gamblers, 34 soccer
fans who were knowledgeable about the sport but had never gambled, and finally, 78 non-gamblers with no prior
knowledge of soccer at all. All participants were asked to place bets on the final scores of the 16 second-round
matches of the Champion's League, organized by the Union of European Football Associations. This model mimics
how gamblers actually put their money on the games, where they need to bet on exact scores to win.
Although those who had prior knowledge of soccer were expected to have a higher success rate, the
researchers discovered that, in fact, their success rate was no better than those of the other two groups. Interestingly,
the two participants with the most successful record, correctly betting on seven out of the 16 games each, hailed from
the group with no prior understanding of the sport.
This doesn't indicate that there is an advantage to inexperience, says Prof. Dannon – many others in the
third group were unable to predict any of the results correctly. But the outcome exposes the myth of knowledge as
a powerful betting advantage. The sense of control that encourages sports gamblers in their betting is just an
illusion.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of
the question.
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 milliliters 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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of
the question.
Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration. While
this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building’s history. As a result of this new
restoration, Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound that it had when it was first built. Carnegie
Hall owes its
existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in the late 1800s. The hall was
finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall where accomplished
musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, however, the concert hall suffered from several detrimental
renovations over the years. During the Great Depression, when fewer people could afford to attend
performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses. As a result, a coffee shop
was opened in one corner of the building, for which the builders replaced the brick and terra cotta walls
with windowpanes. A renovation in 1946 seriously damaged the acoustical quality of the hall when the
makers of the film Carnegie Hall cut a gaping hole in the dome of the ceiling to allow for lights and air
vents. The hole was later covered with short curtains and a fake ceiling but the hall never sounded the same
afterwards.
In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stern became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real estate
developers unveiled plans to demolish Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building on the site.
This threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New
York to buy the property. The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city. In
the current restoration, builders tested each new material for its sound qualities, and they replaced the hole
in the ceiling with a dome. The builders also restored the outer walls to their original appearance and
closed the coffee shop. Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never
looked more promising.
Question 36. This passage is mainly about .
A. changes to Carnegie Hall
B. the appearance of Carnegie Hall
C. Carnegie Hall’s history during the Great Depression
D. damage to the ceiling in Carnegie Hall

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their
number has varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to
the early years of the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original
colonies.
Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because
by that time Vermont and Kentucky have joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the
intention of mint officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of
Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half dollars were
produced with sixteen stars.
As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this
scheme would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 were issued with only thirteen
Stars - one for each of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the
1828 half-cent was issued with only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with
only 12 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error.

Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen?
You're not too far off. A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising
ways that technology intersects with teen friendships – and the results show that 57 percent of
teens have made at least one new friend online. Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of
those digital friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55
percent of their day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual
time with their friends on a daily basis (outside of school hallways). These new forms of
communication are key in maintaining friendships day-to-day – 27 percent of teens instant
message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media every day, and 7
percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main form of communication –
almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their
closest friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and
maintaining friendships) in the gaming world – 89 percent play with friends they know, and
54 percent play with online-only friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not,
online garners say that playing makes them feel "more connected" to friends they know, or
garners they've never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity
– 62 percent of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a
new friend (although 80 percent still consider their phone number the best method of
contact). Despite the negative consequences-21 percent of teenage users feel worse about
their lives because of posts they see on social media – teens also have found support and
connection through various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of teens received support during a
challenging time in their lives via social media platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected
with current friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals
that girls are more likely to block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of all teenage
users report experiencing "drama among their friends on social media."

Library is a collection of books and other informational materials made available to
people for reading, study, or reference. The word library comes (26) liber; the Latin
word for "book". (27) , library collections have almost always contained a variety of
materials. Contemporary libraries maintain collections that include not only printed materials
such as manuscripts, books, newspapers, and magazines, (28) audio visual and online
databases. In addition to maintaining collections within library buildings, modern libraries
often feature tele-communications links that provide users with access to information at
remote sites.
The central mission of a library (29) to collect, organize, preserve, and provide
access to knowledge and information. In fulfilling this mission, libraries preserve a valuable
record of culture (30) can be passed down to succeeding generations.

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the
atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or
materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous
change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth
century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry
from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and
knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants
has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under
certain conditions.Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon
monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the
concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became
components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing
the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output of
these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such a
region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification
scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air.
The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations
that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration
need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little
until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would
occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08
parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide,
however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches
about 15 ppm.
Question 31: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The economic impact of air pollution.
B. What constitutes an air pollutant.
C. How much harm air pollutants can cause.
D. The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere.
Question 32: The word “adversely” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. negatively B. quickly C.
admittedly D. considerably
Question 33: The word “These” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to
.
A. the various chemical reactions
B. the pollutants from the developing Earth
C. the compounds moved to the water or soil
D. the components in biogeochemical cycles
Question 34: According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a
substance is only useful if .
A. the other substances in the area are known B. it is in a localized area
C. the natural level is also known D. it can be calculated quickly
Question 35: Which of the following is best supported by the passage?
A. To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air
pollution laws.
B. One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air
pollution laws.
C. Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air
pollutants.
D. Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution.

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done
with care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to
earn a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the
difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to
unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of
your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to
consider.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may
want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the
classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such
as “Would you like to travel ? Do you want to work with children ? Are you more suited to
solitary or cooperative work ?”There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what
is important to you.
Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which
ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you. The setting of the job
is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If not, there are
diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great
deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment
in some fields is concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only
in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and
retail sales are found in all regions of the country. If a high salary is important to you, do not
judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low
starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional
training, promotions and commission.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke
positive or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous,
while that of a plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at
first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long,
grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors.
Another point to consider is that as you get mature, you will likely to develop new interests
and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not
be your final one.

question.
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 milliliters 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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
question.
Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration. While
this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building’s history. As a result of this new
restoration, Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound that it had when it was first built. Carnegie
Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in the late 1800s. The
hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall where
accomplished musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, however, the concert hall suffered from
several detrimental renovations over the years. During the Great Depression, when fewer people could
afford to attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses. As a result,
a coffee shop was opened in one corner of the building, for which the builders replaced the brick and terra
cotta walls with windowpanes. A renovation in 1946 seriously damaged the acoustical quality of the hall
when the makers of the film Carnegie
Hall cut a gaping hole in the dome of the ceiling to allow for lights and air vents. The hole was later
covered with short curtains and a fake ceiling but the hall never sounded the same afterwards.
In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stern became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real estate
developers unveiled plans to demolish Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building on the site.
This threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New
York to buy the property. The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city. In
the current restoration, builders tested each new material for its sound qualities, and they replaced the hole
in the ceiling with a dome. The builders also restored the outer walls to their original appearance and
closed the coffee shop. Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never
looked more promising.

In the year 1900, the world was in the midst of a machine revolution. (26)
electrical power became more ubiquitous, tasks once done by hand were now completed
quickly and efficiently by machine. Sewing machines replaced needle and thread. Tractors

So what will be the game-changing machines in the year 2100? How will they (28)

We asked over three dozen experts, scientists, engineers, futurists, and organizations in

and space exploration, about how the machines of 2100 will change humanity. The (30)

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.
Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil,
gas, and coal. More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are
many problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the
air. Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of damage. Another
problem is that we are running out of it. That is why we need new sources of energy. A big
source of energy for many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-one countries use nuclear
power. Many ships also use it.
Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power.
Nuclear power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't
need to buy as much as oil from other countries.
However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example,
nuclear accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the
next 20 years, about 4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious
nuclear accident in Japan. Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the
accident.
Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A
lot of people want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have
been protests against nuclear energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan,
India, and many other countries.
Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One
reason for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough
fossil fuel. However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in
the future.
Question 31: Which of the following is NOT true about fossil fuel?
A. It can pollute the air.
B. We don't use much of it.

Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be trained programmer to work online.
Of course, there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but
the growth of new media has opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities
requiring only a minimal level of technical expertise. Probably one of the most well-known
online job opportunities is the job of webmaster. However, it is hard to define one basic job
description for this position. The qualifications and responsibilities depend on what tasks a
particular organization needs a webmaster to perform.
To specify the job description of a webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and
software that the website the webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of
hardware and software require different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor is
whether the website will be running internally (at the firm itself) or externally (renting
shared space on the company servers). Finally, the responsibilities of a webmaster also
depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or whether the firm will
provide people to help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can create an
accurate webmaster job description.
Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the latest
computer applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which traditional
skills remain in high demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense
of the web as a “new media”.
The term “new media” is difficult to define because it encompasses a constantly
growing set of new technologies and skills, specifically, it includes websites, email, Internet
technology, CD-ROM, DVD, streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia
presentations, e-books, digital music, computer illustration, video games, virtually reality,
and computer artistry.
Additionally, many of today’s Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job
professions. With many companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the
outsourcing and contracting of freelance workers online has become common business
practice. The Internet provides an infinite pool of buyers from around the world with whom
freelancers can contract their services. An added benefit to such online jobs is that
freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own country of
residence.
How much can a person make in these kinds of career? As with many questions related
to todays evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many companies
willing to pay people with technical Internet skills salaries well above $70,000 a year.
Generally, webmasters start at about $30,000 per year, but salaries can vary greatly.
Freelance writers working online have been known to make between $40,000 and $70,000
per year.
Question 36: What is the best title for this passage?
A. The definition of “new media” B. Internet jobs
C. The job of Webmasters D. People with Internet skills
Question 37: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE of webmasters?
A. They work either independently or collaboratively.
B. The duties they perform stay almost unchanged.
C. Their jobs require a minimal level of expertise
D. They hardly support hardware and software products.
Question 38: The word “identity” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
The end.

A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS
I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an
isolated village in Chad, about 500 kilometers from the capital N'Djamena. Coming from a rich
country, I got quite a shock, as conditions were much harder than I had expected. But after a few
days I got used to (26) there. The people were always very friendly and helpful, and I soon
began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was
One of my jobs was to supply the village (27) water. The well was a long walk away,
and the women used to spend a long time every day (28) _ heavy pots backwards and
forwards. So I contacted the organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered. (29)
these pipes were not really perfect, they still made a great difference to the villagers.
All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience. Although it was not paid, it was well

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 31 to 35.
In the twentieth - century, people depend on unlimited energy to power their everyday lives. A
wide range of energy-run devices and modern conveniences are taken for granted, and although it
may seem that we will never be in danger of living without those conveniences, the fact is that many
supplies of energy are dwindling rapidly. Scientists are constantly searching for new sources of
power to keep modern society running. Whether future populations will continue to enjoy the
benefits of abundant energy will depend on the success of this search.
Coal, oil, and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of its power. However, not only
are supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. If the energy demands of
the future are to be met without seriously harming the environment, existing alternative energy
sources must be improved or further explored and developed. These include nuclear, water, solar,
wind, and geothermal power, as well as energy from new, nonpolluting types of fuels. 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 pose the daunting problem of
what to do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but
impractical for communities located far from moving water. Harnessing energy from tides and waves
has similar drawbacks. Solar power holds great promise for the future but methods of collecting and
concentrating sunlight are as yet inefficient, as are methods of harnessing wind power.
Every source of energy has its disadvantages. One way to minimize them is to use less energy.
Conservation efforts coupled with renewable energy resources, such as a combination of solar,
water, wind, and geothermal energy and alternative fuels, such as alcohol and hydrogen, will ensure
supplies of clean, affordable energy for humanity's future.
Question 31. The word "dwindling" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. diminishing B. changing C. increasing D. limiting
Question 32. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Our present energy sources must be eliminated and replaced with alternative sources.
B. Demands for energy in the future are likely to decrease.
C. The search for alternative energy sources is not over.
D. Alternative sources of energy on this planet are very limited.
Question 33. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. many alternative energy sources are environmentally hazardous
B. solar and wind power are not promising for the future
C. most alternative energy sources have proven to be impractical
D. nuclear power solves one problem while creating others
Question 34. The passage suggests that _ .
A. people use energy without giving great thought to where it's coming from
B. modern society requires a minimum amount of energy to keep it running
C. the search for energy sources is mainly a problem for the future
D. scientists believe we will never have to go without our modern conveniences
Question 35. From the passage, it can be inferred that to solve our energy problems .
A. a combination of conservation and invention will be needed
B. we will have to stop using many of our modern conveniences
C. scientists will have to find ways to increase our supplies of coal, oil, and gas
D. scientists will have to find one major source of nonpolluting energy
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.
It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that have existed have become extinct. What
causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish. The
exact causes of a species' death vary from situation to situation. Rapid ecological change may render
an environment hostile to a species. For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be
able to adapt. Food resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause
problems for a species requiring these resources. Other species may become better adapted to an
environment, resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species.
The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth. Recent
analyses have also revealed that on some occasions, many species became extinct at the same time- a
mass extinction. One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 mmion years ago
with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life. Perhaps the largest mass extinction was
the one that occurred 225 million years ago, when approximately 95 percent of all species died. Mass
extinction can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the
close interrelationship of many species. If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much
of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affecting even organisms
not living in the oceans. Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction.
One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years
have tended to be more intensive every 26 million years. This periodic extinction might be due to
intersection of the Earth's orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative. Some
researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random. That is, certain species may be
eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason. A species' survival may have nothing to
do with its ability or inability to adapt. If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of
essentially random events.

Dịch bài đọc:
Trong thế kỷ XX, con người phụ thuộc vào năng lượng vô hạn để cung cấp năng lượng cho cuộc
sống hàng ngày của họ. Một loạt các thiết bị chạy năng lượng và tiện nghi hiện đại được coi là điều hiển
nhiên, và mặc dù có vẻ như chúng ta sẽ không bao giờ gặp nguy hiểm khi sống nếu không có những tiện
ích đó, thực tế là nhiều nguồn cung cấp năng lượng đang cạn kiệt nhanh chóng. Các nhà khoa học không
ngừng tìm kiếm các nguồn năng lượng mới để duy trì xã hội hiện đại. Việc dân số trong tương lai có tiếp
tục được hưởng những lợi ích của năng lượng dồi dào hay không sẽ phụ thuộc vào sự thành công của tìm
kiếm này.
Than, dầu, và khí đốt tự nhiên cung cấp hầu hết năng lượng của nó cho nền văn minh hiện đại.
Tuy nhiên, không chỉ nguồn cung cấp các loại nhiên liệu này bị hạn chế mà chúng còn là nguồn gây ô
nhiễm chính. Nếu nhu cầu năng lượng trong tương lai được đáp ứng mà không gây hại nghiêm trọng đến
môi trường, các nguồn năng lượng thay thế hiện tại phải được cải thiện hoặc tiếp tục khám phá và phát
triển.
Chúng bao gồm hạt nhân, nước, năng lượng mặt trời, gió và năng lượng địa nhiệt, cũng như năng lượng
từ các loại nhiên liệu mới, không gây ô nhiễm. Tuy nhiên, mỗi phương án đều có ưu điểm và nhược
điểm.
Các nhà máy điện hạt nhân sản xuất một cách hiệu quả lượng điện lớn mà không gây ô nhiễm bầu
khí quyển; tuy nhiên, chúng rất tốn kém để xây dựng và bảo trì, và chúng đặt ra vấn đề nan giải là phải làm
gì với chất thải hạt nhân. Thủy điện là không tốn kém và an toàn với môi trường, nhưng không thực tế đối
với các cộng đồng ở xa nước di chuyển. Khai thác năng lượng từ thủy triều và sóng có nhược điểm tương
tự. Năng lượng mặt trời hứa hẹn rất lớn cho tương lai nhưng các phương pháp thu thập và tập trung ánh
sáng mặt trời vẫn chưa hiệu quả, cũng như các phương pháp khai thác năng lượng gió.
Mỗi nguồn năng lượng đều có nhược điểm của nó. Một cách để giảm thiểu chúng là sử dụng ít năng
lượng hơn. Những nỗ lực bảo tồn cùng với các nguồn năng lượng tái tạo, như sự kết hợp của năng lượng
mặt trời, nước, gió và địa nhiệt và nhiên liệu thay thế, như rượu và hydro, sẽ đảm bảo cung cấp năng
lượng sạch, giá cả phải chăng cho tương lai của nhân loại.

C. Về cơ bản chúng vẫn không thay đổi so với dạng ban đầu của chúng.
D. Chúng không còn tồn tại.
Thông tin: It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct.
Tạm dịch: Ước tính được rằng, có khoảng hơn 99 phần trăm các loài sinh vật đang tồn tại có nguy cơ tuyệt
chủng.
Dịch bài đọc:
Ước tính được rằng, có khoảng hơn 99 phần trăm các loài sinh vật đang tồn tại có nguy cơ tuyệt
chủng. Vậy cái gì gây ra sự tuyệt chủng ấy? Khi một loài không còn thích nghi được với sự biến đổi của
môi trường, nó có thể sẽ chết. Nguyên nhân chính xác cho cái chết của chúng là do sự biến đổi từ môi
trường này sang môi trường khác. Hệ sinh thái thay đổi nhanh chóng có thể khiến cho môi trường chống
lại loài sinh vật. Ví dụ như, nhiệt độ thay đổi và sinh vật không thích ứng được. Nguồn thức ăn có thể bị
ảnh hưởng bởi sự thay đổi môi trường, điều đó sẽ gây ra những vấn đề cho nhu cầu thức ăn của loài.
Những loài khác có thể thích ứng tốt hơn, với môi trường, dẫn đến sự cạnh tranh, và cuối cùng, gây ra cái
chết của cả một loài sinh vật..
Các mẫu hóa thạch cho thấy rằng sự tuyệt chủng đã xảy ra trong suốt lịch sự của trái đất. Những
nghiên cứu gần đây cũng tiết lộ rằng trong một số trường hợp, nhiều loài đã tuyệt chủng cùng một lúc- sự
tuyệt chủng hàng loạt. Một minh chứng rõ nhất được biết đến cho sự tuyệt chủng hàng loạt đã xảy ra cách
đây 65 triệu năm với sự diệt vong của loài khủng long và nhiều loài khác. Có lẽ sự tuyệt chủng hàng loạt
lớn nhất là xảy ra cách đây 225 triệu năm, khi mà gần như 95 phần trăm các loài sinh vật đã chết. Những
sự tuyệt chủng hàng loạt có thể gây ra bởi sự thay đổi tương đối nhanh chóng của môi trường và có thể tồi
tệ hơn bởi mối liên hệ mật thiết giữa các loài. Ví dụ như, nếu xảy ra sự tiêu diệt hầu hết các loài sinh vật
nhỏ dưới đại dương, thì hàm lượng oxy sẽ giảm, thậm chí tác động làm các loài sinh vật sẽ không sống
dưới đại dương nữa. Sự thay đổi như thế hầu như chắc chắn sẽ dẫn đến tuyệt chủng hàng loạt. .
Một phát hiện thú vị và gây ra tranh cãi đã chỉ ra rằng sự tuyệt chủng trong suốt 250 triệu năm qua
có xu hướng gia tăng 26 triệu mỗi năm. Sự tuyệt chủng tuần hoàn này có thể do sự giao nhau của quĩ đạo
trái đất với một đám mây của sao chổi, nhưng lý thuyết này hoàn toàn chỉ là suy đoán. Một số nhà nghiên
cứu cũng suy đoán rằng sự tuyệt chủng này có thể xảy ra một cách ngẫu nhiên. Điều đó có nghĩa là, một số
loài có thể bị loại bỏ và những loài khác có thể vẫn tồn tại mà không có một nguyên do rõ ràng nào cả. Sự
sống của một loài sẽ không phụ thuộc vào khả năng có thể thích ứng được hay không của chúng. Do đó,
một vài sự tiến hóa lịch sử có thể chính là sự phản ánh các sự kiện có bản chất ngẫu nhiên diễn ra liên tiếp.

The first thing that is included in the "living together” (26) is the expected good relations with
your family. This also involves sharing equally the housework. (27) of people think that
everyone should share the housework equally, but in many homes parents do most of it. To certain minds,
many families can't share the housework whereas they should try it. In fact, sharing the housework equally
is not very possible because of the families' timetable. So, it is somehow believed that children and parents
must do things together. For this they can establish a housework planning.
(28) , housework's contributions of the teenager make him more responsible. He will think
that he has an important role in his family. According to researchers, teenagers should share the housework
because (29) will help them when they have to establish their own family in the future. Too many
teenagers and young adults leave home without knowing how to cook or clean, but if parents delegate
basic housework to teens as they are old enough to do it, they won't be destabilized by doing the
housework in their new grown-up life.
It can be (30) concluded that many parents don't really prepare their children for future,
because they don't stimulate them to learn how to run a house. If parents get them responsible, teens will
be more responsible and that will improve family's life.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of
the question.
Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 per cent of the population will be 60
and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one third of the total population. This raises
concerns about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on
economic integration and requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed: to loosen
the two-child policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men. By ending the
two-child policy the government expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years.
But its effect could be creating an uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the
government loosened the two-child policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third
child birth rate increased remarkably by
7.5 per cent
Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary
evaluation in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly while
creating savings in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion opportunities for
younger generations. It is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 per cent of Vietnam's
labor force working in manual labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and construction
where working above the age of 50 can be dangerous and unproductive. Despite these drawbacks,
raising the
retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population
problem in Vietnam. However, these are only temporary solutions.
Question 31. The best title for this passage could be .
A. Vietnam struggling with ageing population B. Stopping the two-child policy in Vietnam
C. Raising the retirement age in Vietnam D. How to solve the aging population in Vietnam
Question 32. Which statement is probably TRUE according to the information in the paragraph 1?
A. In 2017, the elderly take up for one third of the total population, this leads to more concerns
about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly.
B. In 2015, the two-child policy has been officially tightened and succeeded.
C. The government would promote families to have two children to compensate for the ageing
population within the next 20 years.
D. In the next 15-17 years, Vietnam's economy will need a large labor force to integrate with
global economy.
Question 33. The word “its" in paragraph 1 refers to ?
A. two-Child policy B. aging population C. retirement age D. economic integration
Question 34. In the 2rd paragraph, the writer suggests that .
A. The Ministry of Labor has applied raising the retirement age in May 2017.
B. Raising the retirement age can reduce job opportunities for younger generations.
C. The elderly whose age is 50 would be dangerous if they continued to work
D. Raising the retirement age and stopping two-child policy can be considered as long-term and
effective solutions.
Question 35. The word "temporary" in paragraph 2 means .
A. constant B. permanent C. short-term D. long-term
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
question.
Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, housing tens of thousands of marine
species. With their hardened surfaces, corals are sometimes mistaken as being rocks. And, because they are
attached, “taking root” to the seafloor, they are often mistaken for plants. However, unlike rocks, corals are
alive. And unlike plants, corals do not make their own food. Corals are in fact animals. Appearing as
solitary forms in the fossil record more than 400 million years ago, corals are extremely ancient animals
that evolved into modern reef-building forms over the last 25 million years.
Coral reefs are the largest structures on earth of biological origin. Coral reefs are unique and complex
systems. Rivaling old growth forests in longevity of their ecological communities, well-developed reefs
reflect thousands of years of history.
Corals are ancient animals related to jellyfish and anemones. The branch or mound that we often call
“a coral” is actually made up of thousands of tiny animals called polyps. A coral polyp is an invertebrate
that can be no bigger than a pinhead to up to 30 centimeters (1 foot) in diameter. The polyps extend their
tentacles at night to sting and ingest tiny organisms called plankton and other small creatures. Each polyp
has a saclike body and a mouth that is encircled by stinging tentacles. The polyp uses calcium carbonate
(limestone) from seawater to build a hard, cup-shaped skeleton. This skeleton protects the soft, delicate
body of the polyp.
Reefs only occur in shallow areas that are reachable by sunlight because of the relationship between
coral and algae. Various types of microscopic algae, known as Symbiodinium, live inside of the coral,
providing them with food and helping them to grow faster.
There are over 2,500 kinds (species) of corals. About 1,000 are the hard corals that build coral reefs.
Other corals are soft corals. Soft corals have skeletons that are flexible and can bend with the water. The
three main types of coral reefs are fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and coral atolls. The most common type of
reef is the fringing reef. This type of reef grows seaward directly from the shore. They form borders along
the shoreline and surrounding islands. When a fringing reef continues to grow upward from a volcanic
island that has sunk entirely below sea level, an atoll is formed. Atolls are usually circular or oval in shape,
with an open lagoon in the center. Any reef that is called a barrier reef gets its name because its presence
protects the shallow waters along the shore from the open sea. That protection promotes the survival of
many types of sea plant and animal life.

correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
All over the country young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a recent
report by the housing group, Shelter. Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five
will become homeless this year, says Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in
such places as 'cardboard city' in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only homes
- cardboard boxes. Others may find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organizations or get a
place in a hostel, which gives them board for up to ten weeks.’
But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but
“throwaways” - people who have been thrown out of their homes or forced to leave because of parental
divorce, an unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons.
Take the case of one sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just
passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics
homework. It turned out that her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason that she
wanted to do Science Advanced Level exams - which her parents refused her permission to do, saying that
sciences were unladylike!
Shelter says that the Government's laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of
cheap housing and a cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a national
problem, according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between
sixteen and twenty-five gets less than older people and they can only claim state help if they prove that
they left home for a good reason.
Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being forced
to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can't get a job because
employers will not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can't get a job, you are homeless
because you don't have any money to pay for accommodation. It's an impossible situation.

I was an MBA student in the USA and I lived in the university’s coed dormitory. In my
culture, usually, if a woman talks to a man, it is a sign of romantic interest. (26) , in
the first few days of school, I found it strange that so many women were talking to me and I
was under the impression that some women on my dormitory floor were interested in me. To
(27) their politeness, I would buy them flowers or offer small gifts, as is done in my
country. However, I was quite surprised to see that these same women now seemed (28)
around me. One was even quite offended and told me to leave her alone. Eventually
I talked to the residence adviser on my floor to see what I was doing wrong, and he explained
to me the way men and women usually interact in the USA. I was quite relieved to hear that
(29) was wrong with me, but rather with the way I was interpreting my conversations
with women. Even though I did not find the love of my life while I was in the USA, I still
made many good female friends afterwards (30) I’m still in contact.

Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an
overview before reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention
to it (which often needs jumping forward or backward to process information). They also
relate important

points to one another. Also, they activate and use their prior knowledge. When they realize
that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change strategies. Last, they can
monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective
study skills. They tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers,
parents) to monitor their studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor
their understanding of content; they may not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they
show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix understanding
problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they
must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it. Children
with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying
may be disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with personal
organization as well. They often have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments,
following directions, and completing work on time. Unlike good studiers who employ a
variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-achieving students use a
restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are important
for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning
tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each
of the question from 36-42
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely
different from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions
of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a
rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don‘t know it's raining. The trees
grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They
are found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in
South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square
kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in
Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the
“lungs of our planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of
the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the
world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of
the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn,
potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from
Trang 3/5
rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants
that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer.
With all the good things we get from rainforests, it’s surprising to find that we are destroying
our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every
second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to
clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of
rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more
pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.

The Work of Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall, the world's leading expert on chimpanzees, left England for Africa, at the age of 23, to visit a
friend who had moved there. Jane got work as a secretary for Louis Leakey, a Kenyan scientist, (26)
recognised her careful way of working and her interest in animals, and suggested she help
him by studying the chimpanzees at Gombe Stream.
National Park, in Tanzania. She went on to make many important (27) about chimpanzees
which changed two long-standing beliefs of the day: that (28) humans could construct and use
tools, and that chimpanzees were vegetarians. She (29) the chimpanzees using grass and twigs
as tools to remove termites from their mounds, and also hunting and killing smaller monkeys for food. She
also observed behaviours that we consider human, (30) as hugs, kisses, pats on the back, and

Every culture in the world has marriage and wedding ceremonies. Usually marriages are between
one woman (the bride) and one man (the groom). However, in other parts of the world a man may have
several wives, or, as in some areas of Tibet and India, a wife may have more than one husband.
There are also many different kinds of wedding ceremonies practiced around the world. These
ceremonies can be very short and simple, or very long and complicated.
One of the largest and most expensive wedding ceremonies in recent times was held in Dubai in
1981. The couple tying the knot at this wedding were the son of Sheik (a male Arab ruler) Rashid Bin
Saeed Al Maktoum and Princess Salama. The wedding ceremony took seven days and cost $44 million. It
was held in a large building which was specially built for the ceremony and looked like a stadium. The
bride and groom needed a large place for their wedding because more than 20,000 guests were invited.
The reasons why a man and woman get married also vary. Sometimes they marry because they are
in love, sometimes they marry because someone they meet through a matchmaker, and sometimes they
marry because their parents tell them that they must marry.
One unusual example of an arranged marriage took place in Bangladesh in 1986. The groom was an
eleven-month-old boy and the bride was a three-month-old girl. They were the youngest married couple
ever.
The parents of the bride and groom arranged the marriage as a way of ending a fight between the
two families who had been arguing over a farm for twenty years. Both families thought they owned the
farm, but no one knew exactly. The fight ended for good when the young boy married the young girl. By
arranging this marriage, neither family was forced to lose face. The two families agreed to give the farm to
the young couple.
Question 32: Why was the wedding ceremony in Dubai held in a building like a stadium?
Question 35: Which of the following is TRUE about the reason why the families in Bangladesh made their
children get married?
Alaska is disappearing slowly, but surely. It is estimated that since the 1950s, as much as fifteen
percent of Alaska’s land area has disappeared. How can a whole state be disappearing? The problem is that
Alaska’s glaciers are melting. The state has more than 100,000 glaciers. These glaciers account for about
75,000 square kilometers, or five percent, of the state’s area. That is an area of land larger than Ireland!
According to a recent report by the US Geological Survey, ninety-nine percent of Alaska's glaciers
are either retreating or diminishing. This diminishing seems mainly due to the increase in global
temperatures. Since the 1960s, the average year-round temperature has increased by almost 3°C.
Additionally, the average winter temperature has increased by over 6°C. Presently, an estimated 100 cubic
kilometers of ice is disappearing from Alaskan glaciers every year. It may be even more in the near future,
as some scientists predict that the average world temperature could go up 4 to 7°C by the year 2100.
Another problem facing Alaska is its thawing permafrost. Much of the land in Alaska used to be
permanently frozen or frozen for most of the year. Now, the thawing permafrost is causing a number of
problems for people living in Alaska. Roads and utility poles are collapsing as the ground around and
under them warms and softens. Also, the hard permafrost that originally prevented beaches from eroding
during violent storms is now melting. People who live along Alaska’s coasts are being forced to relocate.
For villages on small low islands, one terrible storm could wipe out the entire community.
The melting permafrost and increasing temperatures are both affecting the forests of Alaska. As the
permafrost under the forests melts, insects that normally do not turn up until the warmer seasons are
appearing sooner. The spruce-bark beetle, for example, is increasing in numbers as a result of warmer
winter temperatures. It usually takes about two years for these beetles to grow and reproduce in very cold
weather. However, due to the increase in temperatures, spruce-bark beetles are reproducing faster and
damaging as many trees in one year as they previously damaged in two. If something cannot be done to
change things, Alaska’s forests will not survive the turn of the century.
Some scientists believe that human activity is linked to a global increase in weather temperature.
Whatever the cause of rising temperatures may be, the fact remains that temperatures are warming,
affecting Alaska for the worse. Horribly, this could be a preview of what will happen to the rest of the
world in the next century.
Question 36: Which of the following could be the main topic of the passage?
Question 37: As mentioned in the first paragraph, the glaciers in Alaska made up .
A. Climate change is the major reason for the decrease of Alaska’s glaciers.
Question 39: The word “permafrost” in the third paragraph mostly means _ .
B. fuels formed underground from plants and animals remains millions of years ago

In most families, conflict is more likely to be about clothing, music, and leisure time than about more serious
matters such as religion and core values. Family conflict is rarely about such major issues as adolescents' drug use
and delinquency. Nevertheless, it has been estimated that in about 5 million American families (roughly 20 percent),
parents and adolescents engage in intense, prolonged, unhealthy conflict. In its most serious form, this highly
stressful environment is associated with a number of negative outcomes, including juvenile delinquency, moving
away from home, increased school dropout rates, unplanned pregnancy, membership in religious cults, and drug
abuse (Steinberg & Morris, 2001).
Many of the changes that define adolescence can lead to conflict in parent- adolescent relationships.
Adolescents gain an increased capacity for logical reasoning, which leads them to demand reasons for things they
previously accepted without question, and the chance to argue the other side (Maccoby, 1984). Their growing
critical- thinking skills make them less likely to conform to parents' wishes the way they did in childhood. Their
increasing cognitive sophistication and sense of idealism may compel them to point out logical flaws and
inconsistencies in parents' positions and actions. Adolescents no longer accept their parents as unquestioned
authorities. They recognize that other opinions also have merit and they are learning how to form and state their own
opinions. Adolescents also tend toward ego-centrism, and may, as a result, be ultra-sensitive to a parent's casual
remark. The dramatic changes of puberty and adolescence may make it difficult for parents to rely on their children's
preadolescent behavior to predict future behavior. For example, adolescent children who were compliant in the past
may become less willing to cooperate without what they feel is a satisfactory explanation.
Question 31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The dramatic changes of puberty and adolescence.
B. How to solve conflict in family.
C. The conflict in parent-adolescent relationship.
D. A satisfactory explanation for family conflict.

were found on the Arctic islands this summer by researchers from the Norwegian Polar
Institute (NPI), which said it had never logged so many deaths at once in 40 years of
monitoring the animals’ population level. “It’s scary to find so many dead animals,” project
leader Ashild Onvik Pedersen told state broadcaster NRK. “This is an example of how
climate change affects nature. It is just sad.”
Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be
warming quicker than any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this
year. The milder temperatures in the region led to unusually heavy rainfall in December,
leaving a thick layer of ice when the precipitation froze. This meant the reindeer could not dig
through the hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze on in their usual pastures, the
NPI said. Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp when food is
scarce, but these are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems.
A relatively high number of calves born last year increased the death toll, as the
youngest and weakest are often the first to die in harsh conditions. “Some of the mortality is
natural because there were so many calves last year. But the large number we see now is due
to heavy rain, which is due to global warming,” said Ms Onvik Pedersen.
A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating population of the Svalbard
reindeer earlier this year. Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted
plant species, currently kept in check by the animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic
ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America.
Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a
report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report
said food security was partly to blame for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could
also put the animals at greater risk of diseases spread by flies and parasites. The average
temperature in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.7C since 1900, more than three times the global
average increase of about 1C. In 2016, the entrance to the town’s “Doomsday” seed vault –
which stores specimens of almost all the world’s seeds – was flooded following heavy
rainfall.

Căn cứ thông tin đoạn 2: Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is
thought to be warming quicker than any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists
warned earlier this year. The milder temperatures in the region led to unusually heavy rainfall
in December, leaving a thick layer of ice when the precipitation froze. This meant the
reindeer could not dig through the hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze on in
their usual pastures, the NPI said. (Thủ đô Lonyearbyen của Svalbard, thị trấn cực bắc trên
Trái Đất, được cho là có tốc độ ấm lên nhanh hơn bất kì nơi định cư nào trên hành tinh của
chúng ta, các nhà khí tượng đã cảnh báo như vậy hồi đầu năm nay. Nhiệt độ ấm hơn trong
vùng đã dẫn tới lượng mưa cao bất thường vào tháng 12, để lại một lớp băng dày khi lượng
mưa bị đóng băng. Theo NPI, điều này có nghĩa là loài tuần lộc không thể đào xuyên qua lớp
băng cứng để kiếm được cỏ trên các cánh đồng như thường lệ).
Question 39. Đáp án B

Từ “these” trong đoạn 2 đề cập đến từ nào?
A. rong biển và tảo bẹ
B. tuần lộc Svalbard
C. các đồng cỏ thông thường
D. nhiệt độ ấm hơn
Căn cứ vào thông tin đoạn 2: Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and
kelp when food is scarce, but these are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems.
(Loài tuần lộc Svalbard đã từng được nhìn thấy đang ăn rong biển và tảo bẹ khi thức ăn khan
hiếm, nhưng những loại này ít dinh dưỡng hơn và gây ra các vấn đề về tiêu hóa cho chúng).

của các loài thực vật không mong muốn.
B. Gần một nửa số lượng tuần lộc đã suy giảm trong hai thập kỉ qua.
C. Bên cạnh sự khan hiếm về thức ăn, bệnh tật cũng là nguyên nhân gây ra cái chết của tuần
lộc.
D. Nhiệt độ trung bình của Trái Đất đã tăng 3.7C kể từ năm 1990.
Căn cứ vào các thông tin sau: A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating
population of the Svalbard reindeer earlier this year. Researchers warned the decline of
reindeer would cause unwanted plant species, currently kept in check by the animals’ grazing,
to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America. Arctic reindeer and

the animals at greater risk of diseases spread by flies and parasites. The average temperature
in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.7C since 1900, more than three times the global average
increase of about 1C. (Một nhóm 3 nhà khoa học đã mất 10 tuần nghiên cứu số lượng loài
tuần lộc Svalbard hồi đầu năm nay. Những nhà nghiên cứu cảnh báo rằng sự suy giảm của
loài tuần lộc có thể khiến những loài thực vật không mong muốn, thường bị kìm hãm bởi các
loài động vật ăn cỏ, lan rộng sang hệ sinh thái Bắc Cực ở Châu Âu, Châu Á và Bắc Mĩ. Số
lượng loài tuần lộc caribu và tuần lộc Bắc cực đã giảm 56% trong 2 thập kỉ qua, theo một báo
cáo năm trước của Cơ quan Khí quyển và Đại dương Quốc gia. Báo cáo này cho biết an ninh
lương thực chỉ chịu trách nhiệm một phần cho việc suy giảm các loài ăn cỏ, trong khi đó các
mùa hè nóng hơn cũng khiến những loài vật này gặp nhiều nguy cơ mắc bệnh truyền nhiễm
do ruồi và kí sinh trùng gây ra. Nhiệt độ trung bình ở Longyearbyen đã tăng 3.7C kể từ năm
1990, nhiều hơn gấp 3 lần so với mức tăng nhiệt độ trung bình toàn cầu là chỉ khoảng 1C).
Question 42: Đáp án B
Có thể suy ra từ đoạn văn rằng .
A. loài tuần lộc Bắc Cực đóng vai trò quan trọng nhất trong hệ sinh thái Bắc Cực.
B. hệ sinh thái Bắc Cực đang chuyển biến xấu đi bởi vì sự nóng lên toàn cầu.
C. tác động rõ ràng nhất của biến đổi khí hậu là sự hạn chế của chuỗi thức ăn trong tự nhiên.
D. thời tiết khắc nghiệt ở các hòn đảo Bắc Cực chỉ gây hại đến các con thú non.
Căn cứ vào thông tin toàn đoạn văn: Chúng ta có thể thấy đoạn văn miêu tả về nguyên nhân
cái chết đồng loạt của hàng trăm con tuần lộc do biến đổi khí hậu, lượng mưa tăng bất thường
vào cuối năm, mùa hè nóng hơn, nhiệt độ ở Longyearbyen tăng nhanh hơn gấp 3 lần so với
toàn cầu, nguy cơ lan tràn các loài thực vật có hại, nguy cơ bệnh dịch, thiếu thức ăn, … Tất cả
những điều này cho thấy rằng hệ sinh thái Bắc Cực đang biến đổi theo chiều hướng xấu đi.

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.
Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal.
More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil fuel.
One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also, when we take fossil fuel from the
Earth, we often cause a lot of damage. Another problem is that we are running out of it. That is why we need
new sources of energy. A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-one countries use
nuclear power. Many ships also use it.
Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power. Nuclear
power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy as much
as oil from other countries.
However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear
accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the next 20 years, about
4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. Japan is
still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident.
Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A lot of
people want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have been protests
against nuclear energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and many other
countries.
Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason for
this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel. However, if we
use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future.
Question 31: Which of the following is NOT true about fossil fuel?
Question 32: All of the following are true about nuclear accidents EXCEPT that .
C. it doesn't take us much time to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident
D. there were serious nuclear accidents in Ukraine in 1986 and in Japan in 2011
Question 34: What does the word "They" in paragraph 4 refer to?
Question 35:Which of the following statements would the author of the passage support most?
A. Some governments are wrong when they are using nuclear energy.
B. We should consider seriously nuclear power because it has both advantages and disadvantages.
D. Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries and governments should follow their
people.
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.
Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be trained programmer to work online. Of course,
there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new media
has opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of technical
expertise. Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of webmaster. However,
it is hard to define one basic job description for this position. The qualifications and responsibilities depend
on what tasks a particular organization needs a webmaster to perform.
To specify the job description of a webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software that
the website the webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of hardware and software require
different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor is whether the website will be running internally
(at the firm itself) or externally (renting shared space on the company servers). Finally, the responsibilities
of a webmaster also depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or whether the firm will
provide people to help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can create an accurate
webmaster job description.
Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the latest computer
applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which traditional skills remain in high
demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense of the web as a “new media”.
The term “new media” is difficult to define because it encompasses a constantly growing set of new
technologies and skills, specifically, it includes websites, email, Internet technology, CD-ROM, DVD,
streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia presentations, e-books, digital music, computer
illustration, video games, virtually reality, and computer artistry.
Additionally, many of today’s Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job professions. With many
companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the outsourcing and contracting of freelance
workers online has become common business practice. The Internet provides an infinite pool of buyers
from around the world with whom freelancers can contract their services. An added benefit to such online
jobs is that freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own country of residence.
How much can a person make in these kinds of career? As with many questions related to todays
evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many companies willing to pay people with
technical Internet skills salaries well above $70,000 a year. Generally, webmasters start at about $30,000
per year, but salaries can vary greatly. Freelance writers working online have been known to make
between
$40,000 and $70,000 per year.

investment, Viet Nam lacks large databases, infrastructure, resources, and a solid foundation from AI businesses.

One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational training
programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunities for on-the-job training and work
experience. Programmes usually last between two and three and a half years and comprise theoretical as well as
practical elements. You will spend one or two days a week, or several weeks at once, at a vocational school
where you will acquire the theoretical knowledge that you will need in your future occupation. The rest of the
time will be spent at a company. There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for
example by learning to operate machinery. You will get to know what your company does, learn how it
operates and find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the time you
have completed your training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge, but you will also
have
hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially recognised training programmes in Germany,
so chances are good that one of them will suit your interests and talents. You can find out which one that might
be by visiting one of the jobs vocational training fairs which are organised in many German cities at different
times in the year.
Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training programme are
very good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular with young Germans: around two
thirds of all students leaving school go on to start a vocational training programme.

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not too far off.
A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology intersects with teen
friendships – and the results show that 57 percent of teens have made at least one new friend online. Even more
surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their
day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a daily basis
(outside of school hallways). These new forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships day-to-day
– 27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media every
day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main form of communication – almost
half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their closest friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and maintaining
friendships) in the gaming world – 89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play with online-only
friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online garners say that playing makes them feel "more
connected" to friends they know, or garners they've never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity – 62
percent of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend (although
80 percent still consider their phone number the best method of contact). Despite the negative consequences-21
percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of posts they see on social media – teens also have
found support and connection through various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of teens received support during a
challenging time in their lives via social media platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with
current friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are more likely
to block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing "drama among their
friends on social media."

dominated the market but also earned huge profits. Currently, AI is the focus of the global technology circle and
governments around the world. Many countries have spent billions of US dollars on AI development strategies with
the ambition to be the frontrunners of AI. Viet Nam is not outside this development trend either. In recent years, Viet

One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational training
programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunities for on-the-job training and work
experience. Programmes usually last between two and three and a half years and comprise theoretical as well
as practical elements. You will spend one or two days a week, or several weeks at once, at a vocational school
where you will acquire the theoretical knowledge that you will need in your future occupation. The rest of the
time will be spent at a company. There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for
example by learning to operate machinery. You will get to know what your company does, learn how it
operates and find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the time you
have completed your training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge, but you will also
have
hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially recognised training programmes in Germany,
so chances are good that one of them will suit your interests and talents. You can find out which one that might
be by visiting one of the jobs vocational training fairs which are organised in many German cities at different
times in the year.
Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training programme are
very good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular with young Germans: around two
thirds of all students leaving school go on to start a vocational training programme.

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.
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not too far off.
A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology intersects with teen
friendships – and the results show that 57 percent of teens have made at least one new friend online. Even more
surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their
day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a daily basis
(outside of school hallways). These new forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships day-to-day
– 27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media every
day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main form of communication – almost
half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their closest friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and maintaining
friendships) in the gaming world – 89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play with online-only
friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online garners say that playing makes them feel "more
connected" to friends they know, or garners they've never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity – 62
percent of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend (although
80 percent still consider their phone number the best method of contact). Despite the negative consequences-21
percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of posts they see on social media – teens also have
found support and connection through various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of teens received support during a
challenging time in their lives via social media platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with
current friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are more likely
to block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing "drama among their
friends on social media."

FAMILY MEALS
Does your family sit down together every day to share a meal? Does someone plan the food carefully, buy
it well and cook it well (33) you really enjoy eating it?
Nowadays, the answer to these questions (34) often 'no'. Adults usually work and arrive home
late. Granny probably lives too (35) away to visit regularly. Children eat fast so they never learn
that preparing good food and eating healthily (36) time and thought. In some families, each person
eats separately, watching television or working at a desk and the children often eat alone. By sitting at the
table with other people, however, children have the chance to learn that a shared meal is a chance for
family members to tell (37) their news.
But if we can’t ever eat together, we should try to have family meals at weekends. It's good for our health,
it’s good for society, and it’s fun.

correct answer to each of the questions.
LAKE VINNEY
My favourite place for watersports is Lake Vinney, but it has only existed since 1975 when the valley was
filled with water to provide electricity. Under the water is the village, Vinnthorpe. Last week I talked to
Pat Smithers, who runs a shop on the edge of the lake and looks after the huge car park. She gets up early
to travel to her shop to sell newspapers and food and doesn't finish work till late because of the car park.
She said drowning the village was the best thing that ever happened, as it brought a lot of business to the
area, and the number of visitors from all over the country continues to increase, especially as there is a new
road which means it is easier to get to. When I asked people enjoying the watersports, they said they never
thought about the drowned houses and streets. When I spoke to some people sitting in the cafe overlooking
the lake, I was surprised to find they still get angry about what happened. They used to live in Vinnthorpe
and were moved to other places in the area, among them thirty children who are now middle-aged, but they
still miss the village. They say that nobody asked them what they wanted - they were told one day that
everything was decided. They were separated from their friends and had to get buses to new schools
instead of walking there together. It is a shame that these people lost their homes, and I hope something
similar never happens again
in the future. I would miss the watersports if they weren't there, however, and I must say that I hadn't ever
thought about what was under the water until last week.

The coronavirus is usually transmitted by droplets, such as those produced when coughing and
sneezing, and by direct or indirect contact with secretions infected by the virus. The virus may also shed in
blood, urine and faeces, and, therefore, there is potential for transmission through contact with a wide
range of bodily fluids. Certainly, person-to-person spread has been confirmed in community and healthcare
settings across Asia and into Europe. There is also a possibility that asymptomatic carriers may be able to
infect people. Public Health England (PHE) has classified the COVID-19 infection as an airborne, high
consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK.
The application of infection prevention and control (IPC) principles are already widely used by
healthcare professionals within hospital and community settings to both prevent the spread of infections
and to control outbreaks when they do occur. The WHO has issued interim guidance regarding IPC when
COVID-19 is suspected. This advice is echoed by guidance issued by PHE.
PHE suggests the coronavirus may pose complications, such as illness pneumonia or severe acute
respiratory infection. They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions or are
immunocompromised are at risk of these complications. It is important that as first-line staff, midwives are
also familiar with the recommended IPC principles and measures, and ensure they have the appropriate
personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for a patient with suspected COVID-19. (Source:

Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not too
far off. A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology intersects
with teen friendships—and the results show that 57 percent of teens have made at least one new friend
online. Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of
their day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a
daily basis (outside of school hallways). These new forms of communication are key inmaintaining
friendships day-to-day —27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect
through social media every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main
form of communication —almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of
communication with their closest friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and
maintaining friendships) in the gaming world—89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent
play with online-only friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online gamers say that
playing makes them feel "more connected" to friends they know, or gamers they've never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity—62
percent of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend
(although
80 percent still consider their phone number the best method of contact). Despite the negative
consequences—21 percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of posts they see on social
media—teens also have found support and connection through various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of
teens received support during a challenging time in their lives via social media platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with
current friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are more
likely to block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing "drama
among their friends on social media." (Source: https://www.realsimple.com/)
