Part 1:
Read the following passage and decide which answer (A, B, C, D) best fits each gap.
Fold everything
Almost certainly you have at one time in your life ____31____ origami, even if it was
just making a paper aeroplane. Perhaps it was something more sophisticated like a paper crane.
The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how ingenious this ____32____ Japanese art
is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats – all can be created from a single square or rectangular
____33____ of paper simply by folding it – no cutting, no pasting.
But did you ever stop to think how the same techniques might be applied to engineer
equipment ____34____ could be of real practical use? In fact, origami-inspired creations have
already flown in space; in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar ____35____

that folded like a map. And very soon origami engineering may well be seen in a host of other
____36____.
“It’s now mathematically ____37____ that you can pretty much fold anything,” says

could lead to ____40____ in medicine and computing. These include origami stents that are
____41____ into arteries and open up to keep the blood flowing. Computers of the future are
____42____ to contain tiny, folded motors or capacitors, which will mean faster processing and
better memory storage.
There’s no ____43____ that saving space has become important in our world, as the

Part 2:
Read the following passage and use only ONE word that best fits each gap. Write the answer on
your answer sheet.
Passage A: The importance of laughter
Psychologists tell us that humour and laughter (46)_______________ good for our social
relationships. Having a good sense of humour is often regarded (47)_______________ being
one of the most important characteristics that people look (48)_______________ in a friend. In
classrooms, a humorous teacher can make learning far (49)_______________ enjoyable and
improve a student’s motivation.
In one study, students on a psychology course (50)_______________ split into two
different groups: one group was taught with a certain amount of humour, and the other with
(51)_______________ humour at all. Later, when researchers tested the students to see how
much they had retained of (52)_______________ they had heard in the lectures, they found that
those who had attended lectures containing humour scored significantly higher than the other
students.
________________________________________________________________________________________
HSG Tỉnh – Tiếng Anh THCS – Trang 3/10
 Humour and laughter make us feel happy, and our laughter makes others laugh as well,
so if we laugh a lot we may be helping to make other people feel happy.

Passage B: The importance of reading

Reading is good (53)_______________ us. In fact, there is plenty of evidence that
reading for pleasure is more than just another leisure pursuit – it actually improves our mental
and physical health. Reading extended texts (54)_______________ as novels or biographies,
(55)_______________ requires intense concentration for a considerable period of time, helps to
lengthen attention spans in children and improves their ability to think clearly. However,
experts say (56)_______________ is essential to acquire the habit of reading extensively
(57)_______________ a small child, while the brain is still developing.
Reading can undoubtedly be beneficial to our mental well-being. Reading not
(58)_______________ helps combat feelings of loneliness, it also allows people to relax and
forget their problems for (59)_______________ while. The concentration required during the
act of reading seems to ease muscle tension and slow the heart rate. Researchers have found that
just six minutes of reading can reduce stress levels by as (60)_______________ as two-thirds.

III. READING (40 points)
Part 1:
You are going to read an article about the Great Barrier Reef. Five sentences have been
removed from the article. Choose from the sentences (A-E) the one which fits each gap.

A. Global warming is bleaching and killing the reef’s coral.

B. We have a social conscience to look after the Great Barrier Reef.
C. People will look after the reef better if they know how valuable it is.
D. This is over three times more than those employed by Australia’s national airline Qantas.
E. Deloitte’s report puts a value of US$42.5 billion on the reef, and a worth of US$4.9
billion a year to the Australian economy.

Australia’s world-famous Great Barrier Reef has been assigned a monetary value for the
first time. The financial advising company Deloitte Access Economics has outlined the worth of
one of nature’s most spectacular wonders. ____(71)____ It also supports 64,000 full-time jobs
in the tourism, fishing, recreation and scientific research industries. ____(72)____ The report
says: “The livelihoods and businesses the reef supports across Australia far exceeds the
numbers supported by many industries we would consider too big to fail.”
Deloitte says quantifying the World Heritage-listed reef’s worth is one attempt at
conserving it for future generations. ____(73)____ Deloitte said the reef is worth “more than 12
Sydney Opera Houses”. However, the reef and its 1,700 fish species are in danger.
____(74)____ A local businessman said it was “astounding” that a value was put on the reef. He
said, “Why on earth do we need to quantify it in terms of money? ____(75)____ It’s on our
doorstep and we should be looking after it.”

Part 2:
You are going to read an article about plants. Five sentences have been removed from the
article. Choose from the sentences F-L the one which fits each gap. There are two extra
sentences which you do not need to use.

 F. After all, he adds, “We have a very fancy brain, but maybe most of the time we’re not
using it.”
G. And now researchers think they can develop the best strategy to help them grow even
though, yes, they don’t have brains.
H. Both pots had equal amounts of nutrients on average, but one pot always had the same
amount, while the other pot sometimes had a lot of nutrients and sometimes a lot less.
I. But if the person were stranded with no money in a far-flung place and getting $20,000
would get him home, the choice would probably be different.
J. On average, most people would realize that the first choice would pay more and would
like it if there are no other restrictions.
K. Or at least enough like us that they can still judge risk and make good decisions even
though they happen to have a few handicaps that we don’t.
L. This behavior is consistent with “risk sensitivity theory,” applicable to both plants and
humans, which says it’s smart to take a risk and hope for the best when conditions are bad
anyway.

Plants, they’re just like us. ____(76)____

We’ve long known that plants are smarter than we think. After all, they probably have
memories, even though they don’t have neurons. ____(77)____
In a paper published in Current Biology, researchers divided the roots of pea plants into
two different pots. ____(78)____
The plants turned out to be surprisingly good at picking the best pot. When there were
lots of nutrients overall, plants chose the consistent pot, sort of like the game-show finalist who
decides to walk away with $100,000 instead of risk it all for a chance for just a little more.
When nutrients were low, they chose the unpredictable pot, like the game-show finalist who
only has $2,000 and might as try for ten times that. ____(79)____
As one plant ecologist who worked on the study, Hagai Shemesh of Tel-Hei College in
Israel, cheerfully said, the experiment “raises a question, not about plants, but about animals and
humans” and just how dumb we might be. ____(80)____

Part 3:
You are going to read an extract about lichens. Choose the answer (A B, C or D) that fits best
according to the text.
Lichens, probably the hardiest of all plants, live where virtually nothing else can – not
just on rugged mountain peaks but also on sunbaked desert rocks. They are usually the first life
to appear on a mountainside that has been scraped bare by an avalanche. Unlike other members
of the plant kingdom, lichens are actually a partnership between two plants. The framework of
a lichen is usually a network of minute hairlike fungus that anchors the plant. The other
component is an alga (similar to the green film of plant life that grows on stagnant pools) that is
distributed throughout the fungus. Being green plants, algae are capable of photosynthesis – that
is, using energy from the Sun to manufacture their own food. The fungi are believed to supply
water, minerals, and physical support to the partnership.
Lichens are famous for their ability to survive water shortage. When water is scarce,
lichens may become dormant and remain in that condition for prolonged periods of time. Some
lichens can even grow where there is no rain at all, surviving on only occasional dew, the
moisture that condenses on the surface of the plants at night. And unlike most other plants,
lichens are little affected by the strong ultraviolet rays in the mountains.
________________________________________________________________________________________
HSG Tỉnh – Tiếng Anh THCS – Trang 6/10
 Lichens use little energy, for they grow slowly. Some grow so slowly and are so old that
they are called “time stains.” You may find lichens that are centuries old; certain of these lichen
colonies have been established for an estimated 2,000 years. For decades, scientists wondered
how the offspring of an alga and a fungus got together to form a new lichen, it seemed unlikely
that they would just happen to encounter one another. It was finally discovered that in many
cases the two partners have never been separated. Stalklike “buds” that form on certain lichens
are broken off by the wind or by animals; these will roll or be blown to a new location.

81. Which of the following questions does the passage answer?

A. How large can lichens be?
B. Where do lichens usually occur?
C. Where can the oldest lichens be found?
D. How long does it take for lichens to establish themselves?
82. The word “hardiest” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. most unusual B. most basic C. most abundant D. most vigorous
83. The word “framework” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. structure B. fragment C. condition D. environment
84. The author mentions “the green film of plant life that grows on stagnant pools” in
paragraph 1 to explain ________.
A. how the sun affects lichens B. why plants depend on water
C. where fungi become algae D. what algae are
85. The word “prolonged” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. precise B. extended C. approximate D. regular
86. Which of file following terms is defined in the passage?
A. “anchors” (in paragraph 1) B. “stagnant” (in paragraph 1)
C. “dew” (in paragraph 2) D. “ultraviolet” (in paragraph 2)
87. What does the phrase “lichen colonies” in paragraph 3 suggest?
A. Many lichens live together in one area.
B. Nothing but lichens live in some locations.
C. Lichens displace the plants that surround them.
D. Certain groups of lichens have never been separated.
88. The word “encounter” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. lose B. support C. meet D. create
89. The word “these” in paragraph 3 refers to
A. partners B. buds C. lichens D. animals
90. It can be inferred from the passage that lichens use less energy and grow more slowly
when ________.
A. they are exposed to ultraviolet rays B. the environment is polluted
C. the supply of water is inadequate D. they are very old
91. All of the following are mentioned about lichens in the passage EXCEPT ________.
A. They can live thousands of years.
B. They are a union of two separate plants.

RUNNING FOR FUN

A. Peter Chamberlain
I was always keen on sports. Running a long distance is a bit like life too. You start with
a sense of anticipation, you go through some great highs and terrible lows, but in the end
it seems to be worth it. There is nothing that I enjoy more than a good workout at the
gym or a good one-hour run across the local wildlife reserve. Fortunately, where I live, I
can reach the open countryside in just a couple of minutes on foot from my front door
step. In my case, participation in the London Marathon was not about winning, it was
about doing the best you possibly can. My first marathon was a disaster. Everything was
going fine until the twelfth mile when I started to feel a bit of fatigue kicking in and hit
the wall between the fourteenth and fifteenth miles.

B. Rosalind Masterson
I surprised myself by doing so well, to tell you the truth. It all started when a friend of
mine was training for the marathon and asked me to join her a few mornings a week. I
didn’t think I was very fit when I started, although years ago I’d go cycling three times a
week and jogging at weekends. I found the experience enjoyable but realised I preferred
jogging on my own. Success depends a lot on your mood. Last year, for example, I was
feeling very stressed for one reason or another, and I got tired much more quickly; I
didn’t even get to the end of the course! This year’s been completely different. London
was such a success that I’ve entered for the Berlin Marathon next month, along with
three friends. My husband thinks I’m mad, though when we watched the news that night
and he could see my face among the crowds, he was fairly impressed.

C. Ruth Watson
Long distance running is not about how fast you can run, it’s about how much pain you
can take. Long distance running is a good discipline for life itself. I run with my head
and my heart, because physically I don’t think I’ve got a great deal of talent or ability. I
was always a very energetic sports person and I have entered the marathon five times so
far. Last year I managed to complete a half marathon in 90 minutes, which was quite an
accomplishment for someone who did not train systematically. One thing that annoyed
me in my last marathon was the attitude of people watching. They took more interest in

________________________________________________________________________________________
HSG Tỉnh – Tiếng Anh THCS – Trang 8/10
 the fun runners and celebrities than in the battle of the elite runners chasing qualification
times for the Olympic Games.

D. John Saddler
An old friend of mine has been a member of a jogging club for years, and he finally
persuaded me to go along with him one Saturday to see if I would enjoy it. Well, I felt
fairly good afterwards, so I joined the club and started thinking seriously about running. I
thought that entering for the marathon would give me a unique opportunity to raise some
cash for the Red Cross. In fact, four of us from the office decided to do the same thing,
and between us we raised over £25,000, which was great! Running wasn’t as hard as I
expected. Training can be difficult, especially when it means I have to drag myself out of
bed on cold winter mornings and go jogging in the pouring rain. I never train with
friends because I find it impossible to concentrate on what I’m doing.

Part 5:
You are going to read an extract about a mountain lodge in Sweden – an ideal destination to
view the Aurora Borealis, also called the Northern Lights, which appears in the night sky in
Arctic regions. Choose the answer (A B, C or D) that fits best according to the text.
When I step out onto the deck there’s no mistaking the intensity of the Arctic chill.
That’s not surprising. I’m a good hundred miles inside the Arctic Circle; in fact you can’t get
much farther north and still be in Sweden. This is Abisko Mountain Station, perhaps the crown
jewel of the Swedish mountain lodges. I’m back for a second time to this remote, scenic spot
under the landmark Lapporten Mountain, the gateway into the wilds of Lapland.
When an early, heavy snowstorm last autumn pinned me down in my tent for days and
eventually chased me from the backcountry back to the station and its comforts, I was to
discover a different side to Abisko. People come here for many reasons: some to hike, some to
climb, some to bird-watch, some to cross-country ski in the winter. But there’s yet another
entirely different attraction here. For proof, all I have to do is look up from the station’s
expansive deck into the night sky above the huge lake called the Tornetrask. Bright undulating
waves of light, tinged with subtle shades of green and red, ripple across the sky. The Northern
Lights display tonight varies from subdued flashes to outrageously intense surges of ghostly
lights rolling across the dark expanse of night sky. A new moon accentuates the mind-blowing
show.
The Aurora may be old hat to those who live this far north, but for the rest of us it is an
unforgettable experience. For travellers from afar it’s a spectacle that has us shivering on the
deck, bundled up in all the cold-weather gear we’ve brought. The lights here are so
mesmerizing we quickly forget the discomfort of the cold.
One of the factors that makes Abisko a prime location for viewing the Aurora is the
Tornetrask itself. The huge lake, which sprawls more than 70 kilometres long just north of the
station, creates an unusual weather phenomenon that keeps the skies above the station clear
even when fog or clouds blanket most of northern Sweden. This is the famed “blue hole of
Abisko’’. A perennial patch of sky kept mostly clear by the climatological effects of this inland
sea and its valley.
When this quirk of weather is combined with the comforts of the station, the package
adds up to one of the best options anywhere for viewing the Aurora. Much more elaborate than
many wilderness huts, the Abisko mountain stations feature restaurants, hot showers and other
comforts. Abisko is the only one of these stations located on a highway, so the range of
accommodations and level of service here is in a class by itself.
________________________________________________________________________________________
HSG Tỉnh – Tiếng Anh THCS – Trang 9/10
 In addition to the lodge itself, however, it is Abisko’s remote location and its unique
infrastructure that make it such a prime vantage point to view a heavenly phenomenon. It is
dark; Abisko is far from any city lights that might dim the show. The station operates a ski lift
to the top of Nuolja Peak, more than 3,000 feet high. For the first time this year, a cafe at the top
of the mountain has been turned into a viewing platform for the Northern Lights, called the
Aurora Sky Station. Also, the station posts “forecasts” each night of expected Aurora activity,
gleaned from scientific observations arriving via computer, so visitors may choose the best
viewing time.

105. What is true of the author’s first visit to the lodge?

A. He was camping there.
B. He was forced there by the weather.
C. He went there in search of the Aurora.
D. He was not very impressed with the experience.
106. The phrase “old hat” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. poor B. in very bad taste
C. strange and shocking D. familiar and unexciting
107. The travellers viewing the Aurora ________.
A. needn’t dress warmly. B. are distracted by the cold.
C. are in awe of what they see. D. can only see it before midnight.
108. The word “quirk” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. a flaw B. a fast change
C. an unusual feature D. a very pleasant surprise
109. What is NOT said to help make a good viewing of the Aurora at Abisko more likely for
visitors there?
A. It is located near a highway.
B. Weather forecasts are available.
C. There are no city lights nearby.
D. There is a mountain viewing platform.
110. The author’s overall opinion of Abisko is that ________.
A. it could be improved
B. it’s on exceptional place
C. it is not as popular as it deserves to be
D. the primitive conditions are made worthwhile by the experience
