An important part of world history is the story of communication. In prehistoric times, for
example, people did not have books. They did not know much about geography. People were
limited. They knew only about themselves and their environment (the land around their homes).
Their knowledge of geographical things like mountains and rivers was limited. They did not
travel very far. Sometimes they knew about nearby people and communicated with them. They
sent messages in simple ways. Early signals for communication included smoke from fires and
the sounds of drums.
Then peole formed towns, and then cities, as safe places to live. Soon they began to develop
other ways to communicate, to spread information. People began to buy and sell things to one
another. Because of their business, they developed writing systems to keep records and to send
messages. Life was changing for many people.Business caused changes, and so did the invention
of the printing press. Many more people learned to read then.
Suddenly communication and knowledge improved greatly. People sent letters and news by
horse and carriage. Later the mail went by train and then by airplane. World communication was
now a possibility.

Question 5: Read the passage and choose the best answer.
It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also
help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamed
covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the
decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into blood, and we may feel quite
ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy?. Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can
fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check
that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache
before they see a dentist.
Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a
day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to
clean between our teeth after a meal.
Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown
bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are
bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth
and cause decay.
Good teeth help us to ................
A. be nice B. have a goodeyesight.
C. chew our food D. be important
When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth ............
A. become hard B. begin to decay.
C. send poison into the blood. D. makes us feel quite ill.

A. their teeth grow properly B. they have holes in their teeth

Question 5: Read the text then answer the questions below.
Fire was very important to man . He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used fire to
cook his food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of the world
he used fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke signals. In
some other countries people lit fire to warm their friends of danger. Fire was also used to give
light. Before the invention of the oil lamp, men used burning sticks as torchs. And before man
discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in wire baskets from posts to light the streets.
One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took
exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the candle
and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle
clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too
quickly.

Question 5: Read the text then answer the questions below.
Fire was very important to man . He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used fire to
cook his food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of the world
he used fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke signals. In
some other countries people lit fire to warm their friends of danger. Fire was also used to give
light. Before the invention of the oil lamp, men used burning sticks as torchs. And before man
discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in wire baskets from posts to light the streets.
One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took
exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the candle
and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle
clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too
quickly.

For what purpose was fire used by red Indians?
What were the first street lights?
How long did the candle clock take to burn?
What would happen if a wind blew on a candle clock?

THE QUESTIONS (20 PTS)
The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many museums devoted to the
decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection
displayed in a great country house. Passing through successive generations of a single family,
Winterthur has been a private estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive renovations
made to it between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a family residence. This fact is of
importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum. The impression of a lived-in house is
apparent to the visitor: the rooms look as if they were vacated only a short while ago whether by
the original owners of the furniture or the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of
personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of furniture and
architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English country house, it is an organic
structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of displaying it to the visitor, has
changed over the years. The changes have coincided with developing concepts of the American
arts, increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the
achievement of a historical effect in period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have followed
this current, yet still retained the character of a private house.
The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in an
effort to present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give
them more meaning for the viewer. Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum,
the period room represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an
opportunity to assemble objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The reason that Winterthur was redesigned
B. Elements that make Winterthur an unusual museum
C. How Winterthur compares to English country houses
D. Historical furniture contained in Winterthur
2. The phrase "devoted to" in line 1 is closest in meaning to
A. surrounded by B. specializing in C. successful in D. sentimental about
3. What happened at Winterthur between 1929 and 1931?
A. The owners moved out B. The house was repaired
C. The old furniture was replaced D. The estate became a museum
4. What does the author mean by stating "the impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the
visitor" (lines 5-6)?
A. Winterthur is very old B. Few people visit Winterthur
C. Winterthur does not look like a typical museum D. The furniture at Winterthur looks
comfortable
5. The word "assembled" in line 9 is closest in meaning to
A. summoned B. appreciated C. brought together D. fundamentally changed
6. The word "it" in line 9 refers to

IV. Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A,B, C or D:
I had feared that my companion would talk, but it was soon plain (rõ ràng) that there was
no such danger. Two days passed during which we did not exchange a single word. He seemed,
indeed, absolutely unaware of my presence. He neither read nor wrote, but spent most of his time
sitting at the table and looking out of the window across the pleasant parkland that surrounded the
house. He sometimes talked to himself and said things half under his breath. He bit his nails and
once he produced a penknife and dug holes in the furniture until one of the attendants (nhân viên)
took it from him. I thought at first that perhaps he was mentally ill. During the second day I even
began to feel a little nervous of him. He was extremely large, both broad and tall, with very wide
shoulders and enormous hands. His huge head was usually sunk low between his shoulders. He
had dark, rather untidy hair and a big shapeless mouth which open very now and then. Once or
twice he began singing to himself, but broke off abruptly (bất ngờ) on each occasion - and this was
the nearest he seemed to get to noticing my presence.
By the evening of the second day I was completely unable to go on with my work. Out of a
mixture of nervousness and curiosity, I sat, too looking out of my window and blowing my nose,
and wondering how to set about establishing the human contact which was by now becoming an
absolute necessity. It ended of with my asking him for his name. He had been introduced to me
when he arrived, but I had paid
no attention then. He turned towards me a very gently pair of dark eyes and said his name: Huge
Belfounder. He added:" I thought you didn't want to talk." I said that I was not at all against
talking, that I had just been rather busy with something when he arrived, and I begged his pardon
if I had appeared rude.
It seemed to me, even from the way he spoke, that he was not only mentally ill, but was
highly intelligent; and I began, almost automatically, to pack up my papers. I knew that from now
on I should do no more work. I was sharing a room with a person of the greatest fascination.

classrooms. Meanwhile, children spending the majority of their out-of-school hours watching TV
and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.
There are some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the
teachers. Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment
repairs and maintenance so these television sets are sooner and later out of work. Secondly these
schools have not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate television into their ongoing
instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of television and its
usefulness in the classroom.
Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to
become good readers. However, according a recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free
time reading books and newspapers but watching television instead.

on the effects of smoke in asmosphere, doctors have proved that air pollution causes lung
diseases. The gases from the exhausts of cars have also increasing air pollution in most cities. The
lead in petrol products a poisonous gas which often collects in busy streets surrounding by high
buildings. Children who live in areas that there is a lot of lead in the asmosphere cannot think as
quick as other children and are clumsy when they use them hands. Ther are other long-term affects

Question 5: Read the passage and choose the best answer. (5 points)
It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also
help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel
covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the
decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into blood, and we may feel quite
ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy?. Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can
fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check
that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache
before they see a dentist.
Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a
day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to
clean between our teeth after a meal.
Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown
bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are
bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth
and cause decay.
Good teeth help us to ................
A. be nice B. have a good eye sight. C. chew our food D. be important
When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth ............
A. become hard B. begin to decay. C. send poison into the blood.D. makes us feel quite ill.
A lot of people visit a dentist only when ..............
A. their teeth grow properly B. they have holes in their teeth
C. they have toothache D. they have brushed their teeth.
We ought to try clean our teeth ...............
A. once a day B. at least twice a day C. between meals D. before breakfast.
We shouldn’t eat a lot of ...............
