Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer from A, B, C or D. Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These eggs substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of eggs, sometimes called "designer" eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flaw, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans. Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationships between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of eggs that is the main K× thi chän HSG tØnh 2007-2008 – TiÕng Anh 12 THPT – B¶ng A (Page 1 of 5)
determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it is still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level. 41. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. to inform people about the relation between eggs and cholesterol B. to convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes C. to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten D. to introduce the idea that dietary fats increase the blood cholesterol level 42. According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart disease? A. minerals B. cholesterol C. vitamins D. canola oil 43. According to the passage, what has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs? A. dietary changes in hens B. decreased production C. increasing price D. concerns about cholesterol 44. According to the passage, one egg yolk contains approximately what fraction of suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol? A. 1/3 B. 1/2 C. 2/3 D. 3/4 45. According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol? A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake. B. increasing egg intake and fat intake. C. increasing egg intake but no fat intake. D. decreasing egg intake and fat intake. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. II. Choose the best answer from A, B, C or D to fill in the gaps in the following passage. If you’re an environmentalist, plastic is a word you tend to say with a sneer or a snarl. It has become a symbol of our wasteful, throw-way society.

( 2 pts) Even with his diverse experience as an elected official at the state level, Andrew Johnson was the first president of the United States ever to be impeached, primarily because of his violent temper and unyielding stubbornness. His career started in 1828 with his election to the city council of Greenville, Tennessee, and after two years, as an alderman, he took office as mayor. His advancements followed in rapid succession when he was elected to the Tennessee state senate, then as the state governor, and later to the U.S. House of Representatives for five consecutive terms. In 1864, Johnson ran for the office of vice-president on the Lincoln-Johnson ticket and was inaugurated in 1865. After Lincoln’s assassination six weeks into his term, Johnson found himself president at a time when southern leaders were concerned about their forced alliance with the northern states and feared retaliation for their support of the secession. Instead, however, with the diplomatic skill he had learned from Lincoln, Johnson offered full pardon to almost all Confederates on the condition that they take an oath of allegiance. He further reorganized the former Confederate states and set up legislative elections. Congressional opposition to his peace-making policies resulted in gridlock between the House and Johnson, and the stalemate grew into an open conflict on the issue of emancipation of slaves. While Johnson held the view that newly freed slaved lacked understanding and knowledge of civil liberties to vote intelligently, Congress overrode Johnson’s veto of the Civil Rights Bill, which awarded them citizenship and ratified the Fourteenth Amendment. In the years that followed, Congress passed bills depriving the president of the power to pardon political criminals, stripping away his status of commander-in-chief, and taking away Johnson’s right to dismiss civil and executive officers from their duties. Johnson vetoed each bill, and each veto was overridden. When Johnson dismissed the secretary of war, Edwin
Stanton, Stanton refused to step down and was supported by House of Representative, which voted to impeach Johnson. At the trial, the Senate came one vote short of the two-thirds majority necessary to remove his from office. After Johnson’s term expired, he returned to his home state, but in 1875 he was elected senator and went back to Washington to take his seat. 1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study coordinated by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans revealed that the average person had a 20 per cent higher chance of having a heart attack on Monday than on any other day. C. Working Germans are particularly vulnerable, with 33 per cent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be more at risk on a Monday than any other day. D. A study of 11,000 Italians identified 8 am on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies show that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries. E. The findings could lead to a better understanding of what triggers heart attacks, according to Dr. Stefan Willich of the Free University, “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol by we don’t know what actually triggers heart attacks, so we can’t make specific recommendations about how to prevent them,” he said. F. Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid transition from sleep to activity and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work. “When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal changes in their bodies,” Willich explained. “All these things can have an adverse effect in the blood systems and increase the risk of a clot in the arteries which will cause a heart attack. “When people return to work after the weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activity,” said Willich. “We need to know how these events cause changes in the body before we can understand if they cause heart attacks.” G. But although it is attempting to believe that returning to work increases the risk of a heart attack, both Willich and the Italian researchers admit that it is only a partial answer. Both studies show that the over-65s are also vulnerable on a Monday morning even though most no longer work. The reason for this is not clear, but the Italian team at the Luigi Saddo Hospital in Milan speculate that social interactions- the thought of facing another week and all its pressures- may play a part. H What is clear, however, is that the Monday morning peak seems to be consistent from northern Germany to southern Italy in spite of the differences in diet and lifestyle. I. Willich is reluctant at this stage to make specific recommendations, but he suggests that anyone who suffers from heart disease should take it easy on Monday mornings and leave potentially stressful meetings until midweek. “People should try to create a pleasant working environment,” he added. “May be this risk applies only to those who see work as a burden, and people who enjoy their work are not so much at risk. We need to find out more.” List of headings 1. Exact cause of heart attack 2. The safest way 3. Breathless, sweaty and crushed 4. Reducing heart attack hazard 5. High-risk Monday 6.

Read the passage below and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D The loss of the jobs and persistent unemployment in the industrial countries is due mainly to changes in technology. It is thought to be misleading to blame job losses on the shift of corporations from the industrial countries to the Third World. The present technological developments have been compared to a Third Industrial Revolution. The first coming in the 19th century, was characterized by the steam engine and the use of coal. In the 1920s the second emerged with the use of oil and the electrodynamo. The third, the present one, is driven by computers, biotechnology and information technology. However, there can be seen weaknesses in the newest of industrial revolutions. The technology is advancing so fast and productivity is rising so fast that we are left with a big problem.. Because of the loss in jobs, caused largely by this new, technology, there will not be enough people with money to buy all these products. Technology as definitely enhanced our standard of living, even our quality of life. But as the capacity to produce expands and the lack of purchasing power and consequent demand diminish, there can be overproduction and recession, and what happens to our standard of living?
1. What is the main point the author is making? A. That the industrial countries have more unemployment than the Third World. B. That technology is the main cause of unemployment. C. That corporations have shifted to the Third World. D. That the present situation is like in the Industrial Revolution. 2. Which of the following is not a characteristic of one of the industrial revolutions? A. The use of oil B. The use of computer C. The use of electricity D. The use of coal 3. What is stated as being the main weakness of the Third Industrial Revolution? A. There will be too few people who can afford to buy things. B. There won't be enough products for everyone to buy. C. There will not be enough money around. D. There will be too many machines in the factories. 4. Why does the author think that there won't be enough people to buy the product A. People will not be able to keep up with technology. B. Productivity will not be high enough. C. There will be too many products. D. Many people will be unemploy 5 . What do we infer is the author's attitude to the technology? A. It has improved our purchasing power B. It has improved our quality of life. C. It has created more jobs D. It is not responsible for the recession. 56. B 57. C 58. A 59. D 60. B III. Fill in each numbered gap with one suitable word.
