Section 1
Q1: For example, they work together to design a special cover that goes round
an egg, so that when it’s inside they can drop it from a height and it doesn’t
break => egg
Q2: They have a competition to see who can make the highest tower => tower
Q3: For example, one thing they do is to design and build a car that’s attached
to a balloon, and the force of the air in that actually powers the car and makes
it move along => car
Q4: So they work out how to build model vehicles, things like cars and trucks,
but also how to construct animals
using the same sorts of material and technique, and then they learn how they
can program them and make them move => animals
Q5: use recycled materials like card and wood to build a bridge, and the longest
one gets a prize => bridge
Q6: Then they have something a bit different, which is to think up an Idea for
a five-minute movie and then film it using special animation software => movie
Q7: And then they also build a robot in the shape of a human, and they decorate
it and program it so that it can move its arms and legs => decorate
Q8:
- And are the classes on a Monday, too? (thông tin gây nhiễu để lừa)
- They used to be, but we found it didn’t give our staff enough time to clear up after
the first workshop, so we moved them to Wednesdays. => (đáp án đúng) The classes
are held in the morning from ten to eleven.
=> Wednesday
Q9: That’s in Fradstone Industrial Estate … Fradstone - that’s F-R-A-D-S-T-O-N-

E => FRADSTONE
Q10:
- And will I have any parking problems there?
- No, there’s always plenty available => parking
Section 2
Q11: Like me, the founder, Ronald Stevenson, went into the steel industry when he
left school - that was in 1923 => (loại trừ đáp án sai). He set up this company when
he finished his apprenticeship, in 1926 => (đáp án đúng) although he actually
started making plans two years earlier, in 1924 => (loại trừ đáp án sai)
=> C
Q12: Stevenson’s long-term plan was to manufacture components for the machine
tools industry - although in fact that never came about => (loại trừ 2 đáp án sai) -
and for the automotive industry, that is, cars and lorries. However, there was a delay
of five years before that happened, => (loại trừ đáp án sai) because shortly before
the company went into production, Stevenson was given the opportunity to make
goods for hospitals and other players in the healthcare industry, so that’s what
we did for the first five years => (đáp án đúng)
=> A
Q13: Over the years, we’ve expanded the premises considerably - we were lucky
that the site is big enough, so moving to a new location has never been necessary
=> (đáp án đúng). However, the layout is far from ideal for modern machinery and
production methods, so we intend to carry out major refurbishment of this site
over the next five years. => (loại trừ đáp án sai)
=> B
Q14: Most mornings you’ll have a presentation from one of the managers =>
(đáp án đúng) to learn about their department, starting this morning with research
and development => (loại trừ đáp án sai). And you’ll ail spend some time in each
department, observing what’s going on and talking to people – as long as you don’t
stop them from doing their work altogether! In the past, a teacher from your school
has come in at the end of each week to find out how the group were getting on, but
your school isn’t able to arrange that this year. => (loại trừ đáp án sai)
=> C
Q15: Starting point: As you can see, we’re in the reception area.
There’s a corridor running left from here, and if you go along that, the door facing
you at the end is the entrance to the coffee room. This looks out onto the main
road on one side, and some trees on the other
=> H
Q16: The factory is the very big room on the far side of the site. Next to it is the
warehouse (nghe đến đây có 3 khả năng là A, B, hoặc C đều next to factory),
which can be accessed by lorries going up the road to the turning area at the
end (chỗ quay đầu của xe tải ở cuối con đường, chỉ có Access Road mới có chỗ
quay đầu, và C nằm gần nhất, có 1 cánh cửa mở ra Acces Road). You can get
to the warehouse by crossing to the far side of the courtyard, and then the door
is on vour right (thêm dữ liệu khẳng định là C)
=> C
Q17: Somewhere you’ll be keen to find is the staff canteen. This is right next to
reception (nghe đến đây có 2 khả năng là G và J đều nằm next to Reception). I
can confidently say that the food’s very good, but the view isn’t. The windows on
one side look onto a corridor and courtyard, which aren't very attractive at all,
and on the other onto the access road, which isn’t much better. (canteen này có
cửa sổ nhìn ra corridor và courtyard ở 1 bên, còn bên kia nhìn ra Access Road =>
đáp án là G vì J sẽ nhìn ra Main Road
=> G
Q18: You'll be using the meeting room quite often, and you'll find it by walking
along the corridor to the left of the courtyard, and continuing along it to the
end. The meeting room is the last one on the right. => B
Q19: The human resources department is at the front of this building, so you
head to the left along the corridor from reception, and it's the second room you
come to. It looks out onto the main road. => I
Q20: And finally, the boardroom, where you’ll be meeting sometimes. That has
quite a pleasant view, as it looks out on to the trees. Go along the corridor past
the courtyard, right to the end. The boardroom is on the left, next to the factory.
=> A
Section 3
Q21 and 22:
Jess: When they gave us all those handouts with details of books and websites
to look at. I was really put off, but the more I read, the more interested I got.
Tom: Me too. I found I could research so many different aspects of birds in art
- colour, movement, texture.
=> (chốt dc đáp án E)
So I was looking forward to the Bird Park visit.
Jess: What a letdown! It poured with rain and we hardly saw a single bird => (loại
trừ đáp án A)
Much less use than the trip to the Natural History Museum.
Tom: Yeah. I liked all the stuff about evolution there. => (chốt dc đáp án C)
The workshop sessions with Dr Fletcher were good too, especially the brainstorming
sessions.
Jess: I missed those because I was ill => (loại trừ đáp án B). I wish we could’ve
seen the projects last year’s students did.
TOM: Mm. I suppose they want us to do our own thing, not copy => (loại trừ đáp
án D)
=> 2 đáp án E và C
Q23 and 24:

Jess: Have you drafted your proposal yet?
Tom: Yes, but I haven’t handed it in. I need to amend some parts. I’ve realised the
notes from my research are almost all just descriptions, I haven't actually evaluated
anything. So I'll have to fix that.
Jess: Oh, I didn’t know we had to do that. I’ll have to look at that too. => (chốt dc
đáp án E, cả 2 đều chưa làm tốt và cần sửa)
Did you do a timeline for the project?
Tom: Yes, and a mind map.
Jess: Yeah, so did I. I quite enjoyed that => (loại trừ đáp án D, cả 2 đều đã làm và
làm tốt).
But it was hard having to explain the basis for my decisions in my action plan.
Tom: What?
Jess: YOU know, give a rationale.
Tom: I didn’t realise we had to do that. OK, I can add it now. => (loại trừ đáp án A,
Tom chưa làm nhưng Jess đã làm rồi và không cần sửa nữa)
And I’ve done the video diary presentation, and worked out what I want my outcome
to be in the project. => (loại trừ đáp án C vì Tom đã có video presentation rồi)
Jess: Someone told me it's best not to be too precise about your actual outcome
at this stage, so you have more scope to explore your ideas later on. So I’m going to
go back to my proposal to make it a bit more vague.
Tom: Really? OK, I’ll change that too then. => (chốt dc đáp án B, cả 2 cùng cần
sửa lại bài)
=> 2 đáp án E và B
Q25:
Tom: Like, I chose a painting of a falcon by Landseer. I like it because the bird’s
standing there with his head turned to one side, but he seems to be staring straight at
you. But I can’t just say it’s a bit scary, can I?
Jess: You could talk about the possible danger suggested by the bird’s look.
Tom: Oh, OK. => D
Q26:
Jess: There's a picture of a fish hawk by Audubon …
Tom: SO you could discuss it in relation to predators and food chains?
Jess: Well actually I think I'll concentrate on the impression of rapid motion it
gives.
Tom: Right. => C
Q27:
Jess: DO you know that picture of a kingfisher by Van Gogh …
Tom: Yes, it’s got these beautiful blue and red and black shades. (thông tin gây
nhiễu, lừa mình chọn đáp án E sẽ sai)
Jess: Mm hm. I've actually chosen it because I saw a real kingfisher once when I
was little, I was out walking with mv grandfather, and I’ve never forgotten it.
Tom: SO we can use a personal link?
Jess: Sure. => A
Q28:
Tom: OK. There’s a portrait called William Wells. … it’s a middle-aged man
who’s just shot a bird. And his expression, and the way he's holding the bird in his
hand suggests he’s not sure about what he’s done. To me it's about how ambiguous
people are in the way they exploit the natural world. => H
Q29:
Jess: Interesting. There’s Gauguin’s picture Vairumati … Apparently, it’s a
reference to the never-ending cycle of existence => F
Tom: Wow. I chose a portrait of a little boy. Giovanni de Medici. He's holding
a tiny bird in one fist. I like the way he's holding it carefully so he doesn't hurt
it => G
Section 4
Q31: Specifically, I am referring to Stoicism, which, in my opinion, is the most
practical of all philosophies and therefore the most appealing => practical.
Q32: Amazingly, we still have access to these ideas, despite the fact that the most
famous Stoics never wrote anything down for publication => publication
Q33: in the words of Epictetus: “external events, I cannot control, but the choices
I make with regard to them, I do control” => choices
Q34: a Stoic as someone who has a different perspective on experiences which
most of us would see as wholly negative
=> negative
Q35: George Washington was introduced to Stoicism by his neighbours at age
seventeen, and later, put on a play based on the life of Cato to inspire his men =>
play
Q36: The economist Adam Smith’s theories on capitalism were significantly
influenced by the Stoicism. => capitalism
Q37: Stoicism had a profound influence on Albert Ellis, who invented Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy ... It’s most commonly used to treat depression. =>
depression
Q38: The idea is that we can take control of our lives by challenging the irrational
beliefs that create our faulty thinking, symptoms and behaviours by using logic
instead. => logic
Q39: Stoic principles can build the resilience and state of mind required to overcome
setbacks because Stoics teach turning obstacles into opportunity. => opportunity
Q40: Stoicism is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago, thanks to its brilliant
insights into how to lead a good life. At the very root of the thinking, there is a very
simple way of living — control what you can and accept what you can’t. This is not
as easy as it sounds and will require considerable practice — it can take a lifetime
to master. => practice
LISTENING TEST 2
Section 1
Q1: frame
Woman: That should be fine. And some of them are in a frame - should I take them
out before I send them?
Man: Yes, please, we can’t copy them otherwise. And also the photos must all be
separate, they mustn’t be stuck into an album.
Q2: 195
Woman: ...So can you give me an idea of how much this will cost? I've got about
360 photos I think.
Man: We charge £195 for 300 to 400 photos for the basic service.
Q3: payment
Man: No, we won’t need anything until we’ve actually copied the pictures. Then
we’ll let you know how much it is, and once we’ve received the payment, we'll
send the parcel off to you. (parcel ở đây chính là bưu kiện chứa đơn hàng đã hoàn
thành – chính là từ khóa completed order trong đề bài)
Q4: Grandparents
Man: We’ll save each group in a different folder on the disk and If you like, you can
suggest a name for each folder.
Woman: So I could have one called 'Grandparents’ for instance?
Q5: colour
Woman: And do you do anything besides scan the photos? Like, can you make any
improvements?
Man: Yes, in the standard service each photo is checked, and we can sometimes
touch up the colour a bit, or improve the contrast.
Q6: hand
Woman: And some of the photos are actually quite fragile — they won’t get
damaged in the process, will they?
Man: No, if any look particularly fragile, we'd do them bv hand. We do realise how
Q6
precious these old photos can be.
Q7: background (phông nền của tấm ảnh)
Man: if you want to remove an object from a photo, or maybe alter (v – thay đổi)
the background, we can do that.
Q8: focus
Woman: I’ve got a few that aren't properly in focus. Can you do anything to
make that better?
Man: No, I’m afraid that’s one thing we can't do.
Be in focus: dc lấy nét; 1 bức ảnh khi chụp lại được lấy nét rõ rang, nếu ko lấy
nét chính xác thì hình ảnh chính cần chụp sẽ bị mờ
Q9: 10 days
Woman: how long will it all take?
Man: We aim to get the copying done in ten days.
Q10: plastic
Man: If you’ve got a strong cardboard box, that’s best. We’ve found that plastic
ones sometimes break in the post.
Không dùng hộp nhựa vì sẽ bị vỡ trong quá trình vận chuyển bằng đường bưu
điện
Section 2
Q11: C
It was commissioned by a businessman, Neville Richards, and intended as his family
home, but he died before it was completed (loại trừ đáp án B vì ngôi nhà chưa xây
xong thì ông chủ đã qua đời). His heir chose to sell it to the local council, who
turned it into offices. (chốt dc đáp án C). A later plan to convert it into a tourist
information centre didn’t come about, through lack of money (loại bỏ đáp án A)
Q12: B
The lower school will move to new buildings that will be constructed on the main
site. Developers will construct houses on the existing lower school site.
Hiểu đơn giản: Lower school và Main site là 2 khu vực riêng biệt. Sắp tới nhiều
tòa nhà mới sẽ được xây ở Main site và toàn bộ khu lower school sẽ chuyển sang
đó, còn chỗ lower school hiện tại sẽ để xây houses.
Q13: A
The canteen is always very busy throughout the lunch period - in fact it's often full
to capacity, because a lot of our pupils like the food that’s on offer there => (loại trừ
đáp án C). But there’s only one serving point, so most pupils have to wait a
considerable time to be served => (chốt dc đáp án A). This is obviously
unsatisfactory, as they may have hardly finished their lunch before afternoon lessons
start. => (loại trừ đáp án B, chưa hề nhắc đến thay đổi timetable)
Q14: A
one thing we ask you to do, to help in the smooth running of the Food Hall, is to
discuss with your children
each morning which type of food they want to eat that day so they can go straight
to the
relevant serving point. => (chốt dc đáp án A, chọn trước loại đồ ăn để chủ động đi
đến nơi serving point tương ứng) There won’t be any junk food - everything on offer
will be healthy => (loại trừ đáp án C, bố mẹ không cần khuyên, ở đó đều là đồ ăn
healthy hết) -
and there’s no change to the current system of paying for lunches by topping up your
child’s
electronic payment card online. => (loại trừ đáp án B, hệ thống trả tiền vẫn như cũ,
ko có gì thay đổi)
Q15: C
You may be wondering what will happen to the old canteen. We’ll still have tables
and chairs in there, and pupils can eat food from the Food Hall or lunch they’ve
brought from home.
Q16: D
One serving point we call World Adventures. This will serve a different country’s
cuisine each dav. maybe Chinese one day and Lebanese the next.
Q17: A
Street Life is also international, with food from three particular cultures. We'll ask
pupils to make suggestions
Q18: B
The Speedy Italian serving point will cater particularly for the many pupils who
don't eat meat or fish
Q19 and 20: C and B
OK, that’s all on the new Food Hall. Now after-school lessons. These are very
popular with pupils, particularly swimming - in fact there’s a waiting list for lessons.
Cycling Is another favourite, => (loại trừ 2 đáp án A và D, vì 2 môn này vốn đã được
học sinh ưa chuộng, ko phải môn mới) …
As you know, we have a well-equipped performance centre, and we’re going to
start drama classes => (chốt đáp án C acting = diễn xuất, drama = kịch) in there,
too. Pupils will be able to join in just for fun or work up to taking part in a play - we
hope to put on at least one a year. We already teach a number of pupils to use the
sound and lighting systems in the centre => (loại trừ đáp án E, đã dạy môn này rồi).
And a former pupil has given a magnificent grand piano to the school, so a few
pupils will be able to learn at the school instead of going to the local college, as
many of them do at the moment. => (chốt đáp án B)
Section3
Q21: B
Luke: … if we remembered everything, we might get mixed up about what
actually happened and what we dreamed. So it’s a sort of protection
Q22: A
Susie: … I've read is that for each dream that comes true, we have thousands
that don’t, but we don’t notice those, we don’t even remember them. We just
remember the ones where something in the real world, like a view or an action,
happens to trigger a dream memory.
Luke: Right. So it’s just a coincidence really.
Q23: C
Susie: There was an experiment some students did here last term to see at what age
kids should stop having naps. But they didn't really find an answer => (nghi ngờ
đáp án C) They spent a lot of time working out the most appropriate methodology
=> (loại trừ đáp án B), but the results didn’t seem to show any obvious patterns.
(thêm 1 thông tin khẳng định đáp án C)
Q24: C
Luke: Last time I had problems with the final stage, where we had to describe
and justify how successful we thought we’d been. I struggled a bit with the action
plan too. (Luke thấy khó với C và B)
Susie:I was OK with the planning, but I got marked down for the self-assessment
as well. And I had big problems with the statistical stuff, that’s where I really lost
marks. (Sussie thấy khó với A và C) => chốt C
Q25: history
Luke: Let’s use people from a different department. What about history?
Susie:Yes, they might have interesting dreams! Or literature students?
Luke: I don’t really know any.
Susie:OK, forget that idea.
Q26: paper
Susie: But in this case, paper might be better as they’ll be doing it straight after
they wake up.
Q27: humans
Luke: And we’ll have to check the ethical guidelines for this sort of research.
Susie:Mm, because our experiment involves humans, so there are special
regulations.
Q28: stress
Luke: Yes, I had a look at those for another assignment l did. There’s a whole section
on risk assessment, and another section on making sure they aren’t put under any
unnecessary stress.
Q29: graph
Susie: Then when we’ve collected all our data we have to analyse it and calculate
the
correlation between our two variables, that’s time sleeping and number of dreams
and then present our results visually in a graph
Q30:
Luke: Right. And the final thing is to think about our research and evaluate it.
Section 4
Q31: creativity
In another experiment, university researchers at York and Sheffield took a group of
students and sent each of them into a lab where music was played for five minutes.
Each had to choose from three options: to sit and listen quietly to the music, to cycle
on an exercise bike while they listened, or to get up and dance. All were given
cognitive tasks to perform before and after. The result showed that those who chose
to dance showed much more creativity when doing problem-solving tasks.
Q32: therapy
Doctor Lovatt at the University of Hertfordshire believes dance could be a very
useful way to help people suffering from mental health problems. He thinks
dance should be prescribed as therapy to help people overcome issues such as
depression.
Q33: fitness
It’s well established that dance is a good way of encouraging adolescent girls to take
exercise but what about older people? Studies have shown that there are enormous
benefits for people in their sixties and beyond. One of the great things about dance
is that there are no barriers to participation. Anyone can have a go, even those whose
standard of fitness is quite low.
Q34: balance
And there’s plenty of evidence which suggests that dancing lowers the risk of falls,
which could result in a broken hip, for example, by helping people to improve their
balance.
Q35: brain
For older people, this kind of activity is especially important because it forces their
brain to process things more quickly and to retain more information.
Q36: motivation
Participants report feeling less tired and having greater motivation to be more
active and do daily activities such as gardening or walking to the shops or a park
Q37: isolation
This helps to develop new relationships and can reduce older people’s sense of
isolation, which is a huge problem in many countries.
Q38: calories
John Porcari, a professor of exercise and sport science at the University of
Wisconsin, analysed a group of women who were Zumba regulars and found that
a class lasting 40 minutes burns about 370 calories. This Is similar to
moderately intense exercises like step aerobics or kickboxing.
Q39: obesity
A study in the American Journal of Health Behavior showed that when women
with obesity did Zumba three times a week for 16 weeks, they lost an average of
1.2 kilos and lowered their percentage of body fat by 1%.
Q40: habit
More importantly, the women enjoyed the class so much that they made it a habit
and continued to attend classes at least once a week.
IELTS LISTENING TEST 3

Section 1
Q1: park
Man: we aim to get them riding on the road, but first they're taken to ride in the
park away from the traffic.
Q2: blue
Man: Well, all our staff wear different coloured shirts. So, we have three supervisors,
and they have red shirts. They support the instructors, and they also stand in for me
if I’m not around. Then the instructors themselves are in blue shirts
Q3: reference
Man: In order to be accepted, all our instructors have to submit a reference (thư
giới thiệu) from someone who’s seen them work with children — like if they’ve
worked as a babysitter, for example.
Q4: story
Man: They're out riding most of the time but they have quiet times too, where their
instructor might tell them a story that’s got something to do with cycling.
Q5: rain
Woman: Now, what happens if there’s rain? Do the classes still run?
Man: Oh yes. We don't let that put us off - we just put on our waterproofs and
keep cycling.
Q6: snack
Man: Well, maybe some spare clothes, especially if the weather’s not so good. And
a snack for break time.
Q7: medication
Woman: Sure. And just at present Charlie has to take medication every few hours,
so I'll make sure he has that.
Q8: helmet
Man: The most important is that we have a very careful check to make sure that
every child’s helmet fits properly.
Q9: tent
Man: Then after that, all the instructors will be waiting to meet their classes,
and they'll meet up in the tent - you can’t miss it
Q10: 199
Woman: Now can you tell me how much the camp costs a week?
Man: One hundred ninety-nine dollars. We’ve managed to keep the price more
or less the same as last year - it was one hundred ninety then.
Section 2
Q11 and 12: A and C
For a start, they often offer opportunities for those who don’t want to be stuck
with a 40-hour week, but need to
juggle work with other responsibilities such as child care - and this is very
important for many
of our recruits => (chốt đáp án C). Some people like working in a rural setting,
surrounded by plants and trees instead of buildings, although we can't guarantee that
=> (loại bỏ đáp án E). But there are certainly health benefits especially in jobs
where you're not sitting all day looking at a screen - a big plus for many people
=> (chốt đáp án A). Salaries can sometimes be good too, although there’s a lot of
variety here => (loại trừ đáp án B). And you may have the opportunity in some types
of jobs for travel overseas, although that obviously depends on the job => (loại trừ
đáp án D)
Q13 and 14: B and C
Of course, working outdoors does have its challenges. It’s fine in summer, but can
be extremely unpleasant when it's cold and windy. => (chốt đáp án C) You may
need to be pretty fit for some jobs, though with modern technology that’s not as
important as it once was. => (loại trừ đáp án E) And standards of health and safety
are much higher now than they used to be, so there are fewer work-related accidents.
=> (loại trừ đáp án A) But if you like a lively city environment surrounded bv
lots of people, these jobs Q13IQ14 are probably not for you - they’re often in
pretty remote areas. => (chốt đáp án B). And some people worry about finding a
suitable place to live, but in our experience, this usually turns out fine. => (loại trừ
đáp án D)
Q15: D
One is for a fresh food commercial manager. … They operate in a very fast-paced
environment … the staff there work hard, but they play hard as well. (môi
trường làm việc năng động, nhân viên làm hết sức và chơi hết mình)
Q16: F
We have an exciting post as an agronomist … There are good opportunities for
the right person to quickly make their way up the career ladder. (Có rất nhiều
cơ hội để thăng tiến nhanh lên những nấc thang sự nghiệp)
Q17: A
A leading supermarket is looking for a fresh produce buyer who is available for a
12-month maternity-cover contract

(1 hợp đồng trong vòng 12 tháng, đã bao gồm chế độ thai sản [maternity])
Q18: H
We have also received a request for a sales manager for a chain of garden
centres. You will be visiting centres in the region … This post is only suitable
for someone who is prepared to live in the region. (Phải đến thăm các trung tâm
trong vùng, chỉ phù hợp với người nào sẵn sang sống ở vùng này luôn)
Q19: C
There is also a vacancy for a tree technician … A year’s experience would be
preferred but the company might be prepared to consider someone who has
just completed an appropriate training course. (Có 1 năm kinh nghiệm thì tốt
nhưng công ty cũng sẵn lòng cân nhắc một người chỉ vừa hoàn thành khóa đào
tạo)
Q20: G
Finally, we have a position for a farm worker … Perks of the job include the
possibility of renting a small cottage on the estate.
(Các lợi ích bao gồm cả khả năng thuê 1 căn nhà nhỏ trên mảnh đất ấy)
Section 3
Q21 and 22: C and D
Adam: Yeah. It took me ages to decide exactly how I’d organise it, especially
how I could
make sure that people didn’t know which drink I was giving them (=> chốt đáp
án D). It was hard to keep track of it all, (=> took me ages và it was hard loại
trừ đáp án B) especially as I had so many people doing it. => chốt đáp án C
ROSIE: SO could most people tell the difference?

adam: Yeah, I hadn’t thought they would be able to, but most people could.
(=> loại trừ đáp án A)
Q23 and 24: C and E
Rosie: Then there’s that experiment I did measuring the fat content of nuts, to see if
the
nutritional information given on the packet was accurate.
adam: The one where you ground up the nuts and mixed them with a chemical
to
absorb the fat? (=> ko đủ thông tin cho B)
rosie: Yes. My results were a bit problematic - the fat content for that type of nut
seemed much lower than it said on the package. But I reckon the package
information was right (=> loại trừ đáp án D), I think I should probably have ground
up the nuts more than I did. It's possible that the scales for weighing the fat
weren't accurate enough, too. (=> chốt C và E vì không hề nhắc đến A)
Q25: C
Adam: I read that the items at the start of a menu and the items at the end of a menu
are much more likely to be chosen than the items in the middle. So, if you put the
low-calorie items at the beginning and end of the menu, people will probably go
for the food with fewer calories, without even realising what they’re doing
Q26: A
ROSIE: Well, when manufacturers put calorie counts of a food on the label,
they’re sometimes really confusing and I suspect they do It on purpose….
adam: Yeah, so if you look at the amount of calories in a pizza, they’ll give
you the
calories per quarter pizza and you think, oh that’s not too bad. But who's going to
eat a quarter pizza.

(thay vì đưa lượng calories của 1 chiếc pizza, nhà sản xuất chỉ đưa ra lượng calorie
của ¼ chiếc, còn số calories tổng thì người ta phải tự nhân 4 lên => thông tin vẫn
không sai, chỉ là gây confusing cho người mua => chọn A)
Q27: B
Rosie: Now when you ask them, about 40% of men and 30% of women say they
do this, but when you objectively measure the amount of walking they do with
motion sensors, you find that only 6% of men and 4% of women do the
recommended amount of exercise
(Khi được hỏi, có tới 40% nam và 30% nữ nói rằng họ thực hiện đủ các hoạt
động thể chất, nhưng nếu quan sát thực tế, tỉ lệ chỉ là 6% và 4% => người ta tự
đánh giá quá cao chính mình => overestimate, chọn B)
Q28: A
Adam: If people reach the stairs before they reach the escalator when they’re
leaving the station, they're more likely to take the stairs. And if you increase the
width of the stairs, you’ll get more people using them at the same time. It’s an
unconscious process and influenced by minor modifications in their
environment. (modification = changes, những sự thay đổi nêu trên rõ rang có
thể ảnh hưởng đến hành vi con người, và đều rất thực tế => practical changes
=> A)
Q29: A
adam: Yes. But actually, I’m not sure if we should be talking about exercise
in our presentation.
rosie: Well, we’ve done quite a bit of reading about it. (=> loại trừ đáp án B, vì đã
đọc khá nhiều rồi)
adam: I know, but it’s going to mean we have a very wide focus, and our tutor
did say
that we need to focus on causes and solutions in terms of nutrition. (=> loại trừ
đáp án C, thầy đã dặn rồi, phải focus vào causes và solutions => A là lựa chọn duy
nhất còn lại
Q30: C
Rosie: Let’s think about what we’re going to include and what will go
where. Then we can decide what slides we need
(chọn C thay vì A, phải quyết định được nội dung và cấu trúc trước rồi mới quyết
định slides)
Section 4
Q31: grandmother
When someone says the word ‘knitting’ we might well picture an elderly person
– a grandmother perhaps - sitting by the fire knitting garments for themselves or
other members of the family.
Q32: decade
indeed, during the previous decade, it was one of the skills that was
predicted to vanish from everyday life.
Q33: equipment
we’re also seeing an increase in the sales figures for knitting equipment.
Q34: economic
it’s still true today that knitting can be helpful if you’re experiencing economic
hardship.
Q35: basic
And the results of knitting your own clothes can be very rewarding, even though the
skills you need to get going are really quite basic and the financial outlay is
minimal.
Q36: round
the earliest pieces of clothing that have been found suggest that most of the items
produced were round rather than flat.
Q37: bone
the very first needles people used were hand carved out of wood and other natural
materials, like bone.
Q38: rough
Ancient people knitted using yarns made from linen, hemp, cotton and wool, and
these were often very rough on the skin
Q39: style
because it was practised in so many parts of the world for so many purposes,
regional differences in style developed.
Q40: sheep
For many centuries, it seems, men, women and children took every opportunity to
knit, for example, while watching over sheep, walking to market or riding in boats.
LISTENING TEST 4
Section 1
Q1: 28th
Man: The week beginning the 14th, if possible. (thông tin lừa)
Woman: I’ll just check ... I'm sorry, Tom, it's already booked that week. It’s
free the week beginning the 28th. though, for seven nights. In fact, that’s the
only time you could have it in May

Q2: 550
Woman: That's the beginning of high season, so it’d be £550 for the week.
Q3: Chervil
Man: Sorry? What was that again?
Woman: Chervil. C-H-E-R-V for Victor, l-L
Q4: garage
Woman: Of course. The building was built as a garage.
Q5: garden
Man: Does it have a garden?
Woman: Yes, you get to it from the living room through French doors.
Q6: parking
Woman: and parking isn’t a problem — there’s plenty of room at the front for
that.
Q7: wood
Woman: There’s central heating, and if you want to light a fire, there's a stove. We
can provide all the wood you need for it. It smells so much nicer than coal.
Q8: bridge
Q9: monument
Woman: There’s a famous stone bridge - it’s one of the oldest in the region, and
you can see it from the living room. It isn’t far away. The bedroom window looks
in the opposite direction, and has a lovely view of the hills and the monument
at the too.
Q10: March
Man: And when would you like the rest of the money?
Woman: You’re coming in May, so the last day of March, please.
Section 2
Q11:C
People were generally satisfied with the state of the roads. There were one or two
complaints about potholes which will be addressed, (=> loại trừ B) but A significant
number of people complained about the increasing number of heavy vehicles
using our local roads to avoid traffic elsewhere. (=> chọn C). We’d expected more
complaints by commuters about the reduction in the train service, but it doesn't seem
to have affected people too much. (=> loại trừ A)
Q12: A
so we're going to add a bit on the side to make it wider. (=> chọn A) At some
stage, we’d like to extend the path so that it goes all the way through the town, but
that won’t be happening in the immediate future. (loại trừ B)
Q13: B
The plans to have a pedestrian crossing next to the Post Office have unfortunately
had to be put on hold for the time being. We’d budgeted for this to be done this
financial year, (=> loại trừ C,trong năm nay họ đã tính toán có đủ tiền rồi) but then
there were rumours that the Post Office was going to move, which would have meant
there wasn’t really a need for a crossing. Now they’ve confirmed that they’re staying
where they are, (=> loại trừ A, chuyện Post Office di dời chỉ là tin đồn và đã được
xác nhận là không di dời) but the Highways Department have told us that it would
be dangerous to have a pedestrian crossing where we’d originally planned it as
there’s a bend in the road there. (=> chọn B, nơi đường cong thì hạn chế tầm
nhìn, để người đi bộ qua đường sẽ nguy hiểm)

Q14: B
On Station Road near the station and level crossing, drivers (= với motorists) can
face quite Iong waits if the level crossing’s closed, and we’ve now got signs up
requesting them not to leave their engines running at that time. (=> chọn B, tất cả
các câu sau có nhắc đến pedestrians và cyclists đều chỉ là thông tin gây nhiễu)
Q15: C
At present, cars can park between the Community Hall and that line of trees to the
east, (=> loại bỏ G, đây là vị trí Car park hiện tại) but this is quite dangerous for
pedestrians so we're suggesting a new car park on the opposite side of the
Community Hall, right next to it. (=> chọn C, car park trong tương lai nằm ở phía
ngược lại của cái Community Hall)
Q16: F
We also have a new location for the cricket pitch. As we've now purchased
additional space to the east of the recreation ground beyond the trees, we plan to
move it away from its current location, which is rather near the road, into this new
area beyond the line of trees. (vùng phía đông, vượt qua khỏi hàng cây)
Q17: A
We've got plans for a children’s playground which will be accessible by a
footpath from the Community Hall and will be alongside the river. (children’s
playground đi tới dc bằng con đường footpath => phải là A hoặc B vì footpath chỉ
đi qua 2 điểm này, cộng thêm alongside the river => A)
Q18: I
The skateboard ramp is very popular with both younger and older children - we
had considered moving this up towards the river, but in the end we decided to have
it in the southeast corner near the road. (góc đông nam, gần con đường)
Q19: E
The pavilion is very well used at present by both football players and cricketers. It
will stay where it is now - to the left of the line of trees and near to the river (bên
trái hàng cây, gần dòng sông)
Q20: H
And finally, we’ll be getting a new notice board for local information, and that will
be directly on people’s right as they go from the road into the recreation ground.
(khi tiến vào từ con đường, nó sẽ nằm ngay bên phải)
Section 3
Q21 and 22: B and C
Amy: Right. I think we should start by talking about the benefits. I mean it’s great
that
so many cities have introduced these schemes where anyone can pick up a bike from
dozens of different locations and hire it for a few hours. It makes riding a bike very
convenient for people.
Jake: Yes, but the costs can add up and that puts people on low incomes off in some
places. (=> loại trừ E, chi phí gia tăng khiến người thu nhập thấp không thể tham
gia)
Amy: I suppose so, but if it means more people in general are cycling rather than
driving, then because they're increasing the amount of physical activity they do, it’s
good for their health.
Jake: OK. But isn’t that of less importance? (=> loại trừ D,, không quan trọng bằng
ý sau đây) I mean, doesn’t the impact of reduced emissions on air pollution have
a more significant effect on people’s health? (=> chọn C)
Amy: Certainly, in some cities bike-sharing has made a big contribution to that.
And also helped to cut the number of cars on the road significantly. Which is
the main point.
Jake: Exactly. (=> chọn B)
Amy: But I’d say it’s had less of an impact on noise pollution because there are still
loads of buses and lorries around. (=> loại trừ A)
Q23 and 24: B and C

Jake: OK. Well, while I think it’s nice to have really state-of-the art bikes with things
like GPS, I wouldn’t say they're absolutely necessary. (=> loại trừ A, không phải
tuyệt đối cần thiết)
Amy: But some technical things are really important - like a fully functional
app - so people can make payments and book bikes easily. Places which haven’t
invested in that have really struggled. (=> chọn B)
Jake: Good point... Some people say there shouldn’t be competing companies
offering separate bike-sharing schemes, but in some really big cities, competition's
beneficial and anyway one company might not be able to manage the whole thing.
(=> loại trừ D, 1 công ty rõ ràng không đủ)
Amy: Right. Deciding how much to invest is a big question. Cities which have
opened loads of new bike lanes at the same time as introducing bike-sharing schemes
have generally been more successful - but there are examples of successful schemes
where this hasn’t happened (=> loại trừ E, có những nơi không có bike lanes nhưng
vẫn thành công) ... What does matter though - is having a big publicity campaign.
Jake: Definitely. If people don’t know how to use the scheme or don’t understand
its benefits, they won’t use it. People need a lot of persuasion to stop using their cars.
(=> chọn C)
Q25: C
Amy: Yes. There was already a strong culture of cycling here. In a way it's strange
that there was such a demand for bike-sharing because you'd have thought
most people would have used their own bikes.
Jake: And yet it’s one of the best-used schemes. (Người dân ở đó vốn đã có văn
hóa đi xe đạp, ai cũng nghĩ họ sẽ thà đi xe đạp riêng của mình, nhưng kỳ lại là
nhu cầu vẫn rất cao, và là 1 trong những hệ thống được sử dụng tốt nhất =>
thành công bất ngờ)
Q26: F
Amy: Dublin’s an interesting example of a success story.
Jake: It must be because the public transport system's quite limited.
Amy: Not really - there’s no underground, but there are trams and a good bus
network.
Jake: I'd say price has a lot to do with it. It’s one of the cheapest schemes in
Europe to join.
Amy: But the buses are really slow - anyway the weather certainly can’t be a
factor!
Jake: No - definitely not. (cãi nhau qua lại, cuối cùng 2 người vẫn không thống nhất
dc nguyên nhân thành công là gì)
Q27: D
Jake: The London scheme’s been quite successful.
Amy: Yes - it’s been a really good thing for the city. The bikes are popular and the
whole system is well maintained but it isn’t expanding quickly enough.
Jake: Basically, not enough's been spent on increasing the number of cycle lanes.
(đầu tư chưa đủ tiền)
Q28: E
Amy: Well bike-sharing schemes have taken off in places like Buenos Aires.
Jake: Mmm. They built a huge network of cycle lanes to support the introduction of
the scheme there, didn’t they? It attracted huge numbers of cyclists where previously
there were hardly any. An example of good planning (1 ví dụ về việc lập kế hoạch
rất tốt)
Q29: B
Amy: Absolutely. New York is a good example of how not to introduce a scheme.
When
they launched it, it was more than ten times the price of most other schemes.
Jake: More than it costs to take a taxi. Crazy.! (=> quá đắt)
Q30: A
Amy: I think so too. Sydney would be a good example to use. I would have
expected it to have grown pretty quickly here.
Jake: Yes. I can’t quite work out why it hasn't been an instant success like some
of the others. It’s a shame really.
(Sydney rõ ràng không đạt dc thành công như kỳ vọng, thật đáng xấu hổ, đáng thất
vọng.)
Section 4
Q31: spices
Then in the year 1507 the first Portuguese ships stopped at the island. The sailors
were carrying spices back to Europe
Q32: colony
However, in 1638 the Dutch arrived and set up a colony there
Q33: fat
The best-known picture is a Dutch painting in which the bird appears to be extremely
fat
Q34: head
In the early 17th century four dried parts of a bird were known to exist - of these,
three have disappeared, so only one example of soft tissue from the dodo survives,
a dodo head
Q35: movement
scientists now believe the bird’s strong knee joints would have made it capable of
movement which was not slow, but actually quite fast
Q36: balance
It’s true that the dodo’s small wings wouldn’t have allowed it to leave the ground,
but the scientists suggest that these were probably employed for balance while going
over uneven ground.
Q37: brain
Another group of scientists carried out analysis of the dodo’s skull. They found that
the reports of the lack of intelligence of the dodo were not borne out by their
research, which suggested the bird's brain was not small, but average in size.
Q38: smell
The researchers also found that the structure of the bird’s skull suggested that one
sense
which was particularly well-developed was that of smell.
Q39: rats
These were brought to the island deliberately, but the ships also brought another type
of creature - rats, which came to land from the ships and rapidly overran the island.
These upset the ecology of the island, not just the dodos but other species too.
However, they were a particular danger to the dodos because they consumed their
eggs.
Q40: forest
However, we now think that probably the main cause of the birds' extinction was not
the introduction of non-native species, but the introduction of agriculture. This
meant that the forest that had once covered all the island, and that had provided a
perfect home for the dodo, was cut down so that crops such as sugar could be grown.
