ĐỀ KIỂM TRA CHẤT LƯỢNG HKI – ĐỀ SỐ 1 Preliminary activities. Jack London ( 1876 – 1916 ) Jack London’s life and writings are thought by many to represent the American love of adventure. He was born in Sanfrancisco, California, and quit school at fourteen to become a sailor. He travelled a great deal during his short lifetime, in the United States, Europe, and the Far East. When gold was discovered in Alaska in 1897, Jack London, answering the call of adventure, took part in the famous “ gold rush”. His experiences in the wild northern country provided him with material for many of his later stories and novels, including To Build a Fire. Among his best – known novels are The Call of the Wild and The Sea – Wolf. Reading. He stood up. He was a little frightened. He stamped up and down until the stinging returned into the feet. It certainly was cold, he thought. That man from Sulphur Creek had spoken the truth when telling how cold it sometimes got in the country. And he had laughed (1) ____ him at the time. That showed that one must not be too sure (2) ______ things. There was no mistake about it, it was cold.

For the moment the cold (5) ________ outwitted. The dog took satisfaction in the fire, stretching out close enough for warmth and far enough away to escape being singed. When the man had finished, he filled his pipe and took his comfortable time over a smoke.

This man did not know cold. But the dog knew : all its ancestry knew, and (7) _____ had inherited the knowledge. And it knew that it was not good to walk outside in such tearful cold. (8) ____ the other hand, there was no keen intimacy between the dog and the man. One was the slave of the other, and the only the only caresses it had ever received were the caresses of the whip – lash . So the dog (9) ______ no effort to communicate its apprehention to the man. It was not concerned with the welfare of the man : it was for his own sake that it wanted to go back toward the fire. But the man whistled, and spoke (10) ____ it with the sound of whip – lashes , and the dog swung in at the man’s heels and followed after. New word.

ĐỀ KIỂM TRA CHẤT LƯỢNG HKI – ĐỀ SỐ 2 Exercise. Match the following headings to the paragraph. a. Treating cancer b. Ear surgery c. Cosmetic surgery d. The laser as a powerful surgical treament. e. The laser in British hospitals. A. While military scientists test lasers against satellites, surgeons use them as miraculously accurate scalpels. The beam can be focused to spot one fiftieth the size of a human hair: yet its intensity is enough to kill cancer cells or drill though the most delicate bones. B. For cancer treatment, the disease cells must be killed while their healthy neighbours are left unharmed. Where the cancer can be directly and accurately attacked, laser treatment does well. For cancers that are less accessible, there is a new and potentially valuable technique in which the patient is injected with a chemical that then attaches itself preferentially to cancer cells. When the laser strikes the chemical, it releases a form of oxygen that kills these cells. C. Furthermore, the laser beam can also remove bone and so it is invaluable in ear surgery. The sounds we hear are carried from the eardrum to the nerves of the ear by a delicate set of small bones which sometimes solidify causing deafness. A laser vaporises the bone without touching any of the surrounding tissue. D . Birthmarks, once almost untreatable, are a mass of blood vessels and being red, they absorb the laser beam strongly. It seals them so that the mark becomes less conspicuous. The normal cells on the skin’s surface, which don’t absorb much of laser beam, act in the healing and help to conceal the mark. The operation can transform the lives of people who had to suffer from lifetime physical abnormalities. E. Some ten new centres already using this treatment will soon be opened in Britain, which is already one of the leaders in the laser treatment of bleeding peptic ulcers and this, combined with medicines, can mean ulcer treatment without conventional surgery.
