an attempt to get rid of “software pirates”, police have seized software from stores and fined the owners. This

computer owners risk damaging their computers. Illegally copied software can carry computer viruses which

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

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 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
skills. They can not 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 of difficulty.

Question 36. What is the topic of the passage?

A. Successful and low – academic achieving students.
B. Successful learners and their learning strategies.
C. Study skills for high school students.
D. Effective and ineffective ways of learning.

Question 37. The word “prior” is closest in meaning to ______.

A. Important B. earlier C. forward D. good

Question 38. According to the passage, what can be learnt about passive students?
A. They depend on other people to organize their learning.
B. They are slow in their studying.
C. They monitor their understanding.
D. They know the purpose of studying

Question 39. Which of the followings is NOT an evidence of monitoring studying?

A. being aware of the purpose of studying.
C. fixing up mistakes in the understanding
B. monitoring their understanding of content.
D. looking at their backs.

Question 40. According to the passage, to learn new information, low – achieving students do NOT ________.
Lớp Tiếng Anh Online - Hoàng Việt Hưng

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

Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding natural
resources. We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of environmental
damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production practices. We may think
that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the environment. Unfortunately,
this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abandoned and poorly stored. It represents an even
bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks into the earth without any control at all.
Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can effect all levels of an ecosystem.
It can effect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability of food up through
the food chain. It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support healthy ecosystems,
control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff. The health of animals and humans are affected
when they drink or bathe in contaminated water. In addition, water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish,
can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies. When other animals or humans eat these organisms,
they receive a much higher dose of contaminants than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the
original contamination.
Contaminated groundwater can adversely affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the
ground by manmade or natural processes. Depending on the geology of the area, groundwater may rise to the
surface through springs or seeps, flow laterally into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink deeper into the
earth. In many parts of the world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used for drinking, bathing,
other household uses, agriculture, and industry.
Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots.
Ingesting, inhaling, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have accumulated
soil contaminants can adversely impact the health of humans and animals.
Air pollution can cause breathing – related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants
are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants can also harm animals and
humans when they contact the skin. Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be effected by
exposure to contaminants moved in the air.

Question 43. What is the topic of this passage?

A. Sources of environmental damage. B. The pollution from the city.
C. Bad effects of industrial waste. D. The quality of the environment.

Question 44. According to the passage, the industry is likely to be thought as ________.
A. a danger to the environment. B. the only source of pollution.
C. the utmost harmful activity. D. a threat to human health.

Question 45. The word “it” refers to ________.

A. the remaining waste B. a danger
