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

It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up from about 54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential for devastating spread of disease. These risks can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from rural to urban areas continues.

How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities are governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and economic activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt society than ever before.

Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and societal development. Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale and network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation. As such, an urban model can make economic activity more environmentally-friendly. Further, the proximity and diversity of people can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas. But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater employment opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing population density can create severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the influx of new inhabitants. The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty. Estimates suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease.

(Adapted from zurich.com)

The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in the face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social instability. In each of these areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases, transferred through the mechanism of insurance.

B. 54% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050. C. Risks cannot be addressed effectively no matter how well cities are governed. D.

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

During times of crisis, people find themselves faced with lifestyle changes. One of the earliest and most noticeable changes seen during the Covid-19 lockdown was how we consume media-and especially how we read.

People tend to find comfort in certain books, and reading habits and genre preferences can change during periods of stress. This helps to explain why much genre fiction has roots in times of significant social, political or economic upheaval. Gothic literature is, in part, a British Protestant response to the French Revolution. Trang 4/5- Mã Đề 401

Respondents generally reported that they were reading more than usual. This was largely due to having more free time (due to being furloughed, or not having a commute or the usual social obligation or leisure activities). This increased reading volume was complicated for those with caring responsibilities. Many people with children reported that their reading time had increased generally because of their shared reading with children, but had less time than normal for personal reading. Reading frequency was further complicated by a quality vs quantity snag. People spent more time reading and seeking escape, but an inability to concentrate meant they made less progress than usual. In short, people spent more time reading but the volume they read was less.

(Adapted from theconversation.com)

Unsurprisingly, lockdown also made re-reading a physical necessity for some. Some respondents noted how they were unable to visit the library or browse at the bookshop for new books. Others reported that they simply wished to save money. On the other hand, the participants who reported re- reading less than normal during the lockdown period wanted to use their newfound time to seek out new topics and genres.

Reading is unable to help people find comfort during stress time. B. Many great fiction books have been born in times of significant social unpheaval. C. Gothic literature was born during the French Revolution. D. Reading habits can change during periods of stress. Question 44: The word “commute” in paragraph 3 is closet in meaning to _______. A. retirement Question 45: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ________. A. reading habit and reading time C. reading time and ability to concentrate Question 46: According to paragraph 4, which of the following is the reason why people re-read more during lockdown? A. They love books so much. C. They think it is necessary. B. They want to save money. D. They try to seek out new topics in books.

Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal. More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of damage. Another problem is that we are running out of it. That is why we need new sources of energy. A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-one countries use nuclear power. Many ships also use it. Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power. Nuclear power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy as much as oil from other countries. However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the next 20 years, about 4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident. Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A lot of people want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have been protests against nuclear energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and many other countries. Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel. However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future. 31. Which of the following is NOT true about fossil fuel? A. It can pollute the air. C.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. LIFE IN THE FAST LANE Henrietta Lake talks to a remarkable 14-year-old entrepreneur who is certainly going places. Between studying for nine GCSEs, including business studies, 14-year-old Dominic McVey has set up his own company, Scooters UK. The business, which imports motorized scooters and skateboards from the United States, has already made a profit of over £5,000 on sales of the equipment. Dominic needed £3,000 to set up his business and pay for the initial stock. He used savings from birthday and Christmas money and cashed in some investments that his father had made when Dominic was born. The young entrepreneur had also invested in shares on the stock market. “I had to do the deals in my dad’s name because I was too young,” he says, “but he doesn’t know anything about the market, so I told him what to buy and sell.” “I realized the potential for the business when I noticed that a lot of inner-city streets were being closed to cars or they were chock-a-block with traffic,” he explains. “I thought there would be a great market for these scooters and skateboards, particularly now that more restrictions on cars in town centres have been introduced.” “You can take a smaller one with you on a train in a backpack and then unfold it and use it when you get into town. Men in suits are riding them up and down Wall Street in the US and it is my aim to get them to do the same in this country. I approached the American manufacturer and, after doing some research into their company and the scooters, I was allowed to become their UK distributor.” The motorized scooters, which sell for £499 and can travel at up to 22 mph, are not classified as motor vehicles and do not need a license or tax. He also sells unmotorized skateboards for £129. They have special high-speed wheels and are capable of reaching 10 mph. “I ride them around town in busy areas and usually end up with a crowd of people running down the street wanting to know where to buy them, or winding down their car windows at traffic lights,” he says. Recently he went with his mother on a sales trip to Paris. “The scooters are really popular there because the centre of the city is pedestrianized at the weekend. I went out with 500 leaflets and came back with none.” In the early stages Dominic had to overcome one or two obstacles. When he tried to open a business account at his bank, he made an appointment to see the manager. However, the bank thought it was a joke, and when he arrived there they had not set up any time for the meeting. “This really upset me,” says Dominic, “but I managed to get a good rate of interest on the account because they were so embarrassed. I think people should take children more seriously.” Now that he has succeeded in setting up the business Dominic wants to expand it. At the moment, the company is still importing scooters in small numbers. “But business is picking up and so I am ordering a big container of 106 scooters in the-new year.” Dominic is aiming to sell 500 scooters over the next 12 months. "I think it is worth taking the risk when you are young: if the worst happens, I have my parents’ support and I am still at school.” He also plans to open a showroom for his scooters in the City of London, “right by some traffic lights so people stop and look”. His idea would then be to sell the business and look for further opportunities to make money. “I’d like to be able to retire before I’m 40,” he tells me. 36. How did Dominic raise the necessary money to set up his company? A. He invested all his savings on the stock market. B. He borrowed it from his father. C. He used money from a variety of sources. D.

He used savings from birthday and Christmas money and cashed in some investments that his father had made when Dominic was born. The young entrepreneur had also invested in shares on the stock market. “I had to do the deals in my dad’s name

because I was too young,” he says, “but he doesn’t know anything about the market, so I told him what to buy and sell.” “I realized the potential for the business when I noticed that a lot of inner-city streets were being closed to cars or they were chock-a-block with traffic,” he explains. “I thought there would be a great market for these scooters and skateboards, particularly now that more restrictions on cars in town centres have been introduced.” “You can take a smaller one with you on a train in a backpack and then unfold it and use it when you get into town. Men in suits are riding them up and down Wall Street in the US and it is my aim to get them to do the same in this country. I approached the American manufacturer and, after doing some research into their company and the scooters, I was allowed to become their UK distributor.” The motorized scooters, which sell for £499 and can travel at up to 22 mph, are not classified as motor vehicles and do not need a license or tax. He also sells unmotorized skateboards for £129. They have special high-speed wheels and are capable of reaching 10 mph. “I ride them around town in busy areas and usually end up with a crowd of people running down the street wanting to know where to buy them, or winding down their car windows at traffic lights,” he says. Recently he went with his mother on a sales trip to Paris. “The scooters are really popular there because the centre of the city is pedestrianized at the weekend. I went out with 500 leaflets and came back with none.” In the early stages Dominic had to overcome one or two obstacles. When he tried to open a business account at his bank, he made an appointment to see the manager. However, the bank thought it was a joke, and when he arrived there they had not set up any time for the meeting. “This really upset me,” says Dominic, “but I managed to get a good rate of interest on the account because they were so embarrassed. I think people should take children more seriously.” Now that he has succeeded in setting up the business Dominic wants to expand it. At the moment, the company is still importing scooters in small numbers. “But business is picking up and so I am ordering a big container of 106 scooters in the-new year.” Dominic is aiming to sell 500 scooters over the next 12 months. "I think it is worth taking the risk when you are young: if the worst happens, I have my parents’ support and I am still at school.” He also plans to open a showroom for his scooters in the City of London, “right by some traffic lights so people stop and look”. His idea would then be to sell the business and look for further opportunities to make money. “I’d like to be able to retire before I’m 40,” he tells me. 41.

Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal. More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of damage. Another problem is that we are running out of it. That is why we need new sources of energy. A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-one countries use nuclear power. Many ships also use it. Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power. Nuclear power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy as much as oil from other countries. However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the next 20 years, about 4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident. Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A lot of people want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have been protests against nuclear energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and many other countries. Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel. However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future. 1. Which of the following is NOT true about fossil fuel? A. It can pollute the air. C. Its sources are limited. 2. All of the following are true about nuclear accidents EXCEPT that __________ . A. they have been very serious C. it doesn't take us much time to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident D. there were serious nuclear accidents in Ukraine in 1986 and in Japan in 2011 3.

Which of the following statements would the author of the passage support most? A. Some governments are wrong when they are using nuclear energy. B. We should consider seriously the nuclear power because it has both advantages and disadvantages. C. We can continue using nuclear energy until there is an accident. D.

A. ambition Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal. More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of damage. Another problem is that we are running out of it. That is why we need new sources of energy. A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-one countries use nuclear power. Many ships also use it. Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power. Nuclear power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy as much as oil from other countries. However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the next 20 years, about 4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident. Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A lot of people want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have been protests against nuclear energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and many other countries. Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel. However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future. 41. Which of the following is NOT true about fossil fuel? A. It can pollute the air. C. Its sources are limited. 42. All of the following are true about nuclear accidents EXCEPT that ________. A. they have been very serious B. their effects can last many years C. it doesn't take us much time to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident D. there were serious nuclear accidents in Ukraine in 1986 and in Japan in 2011 43. The phrase "clean up" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________ . A. block 44. What does the word "They" in paragraph 4 refer to? A. countries 45. Which of the following statements would the author of the passage support most? A. Some governments are wrong when they are using nuclear energy. B. We should consider seriously the nuclear power because it has both advantages and disadvantages. C. We can continue using nuclear energy until there is an accident. D. Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries and governments should follow their people.

In 776 B.C., the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honor the Greek’s chief god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but later the games were opened to all free Greek males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, javelin throwing, boxing, and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honored by having olive wreaths placed on their heads and having poems sung about their deeds. Originally these contests were held as games of friendship and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities presented.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

In 2011, on the popular American TV quiz show, Jeopardy!, two champions competed against a brand new opponent. Both Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter had won millions of dollars on Jeopardy!. Jennings once won 74 games in a row, the most ever. Then Rutter beat him in a tournament and set a new record for the most money won on Jeopardy!. Their new opponent, Watson, had never appeared on the game show and had only played practice games before, in which he often got answers wrong.

However, Watson isn’t human. He, or rather it, is a machine, a wonder of technology made by researchers at IBM. In the game, Watson used math to decide on an answer. When a question was read out, Watson was immediately given the same question in electronic form. It analyzed the question and searched its memory bank - about the same as one million books of information - for possible answers. It then narrowed the options down to one answer. If Watson felt around 75 percent confident about the answer, it would answer the question.

The way Watson thinks is very different from the way humans think. People often make decisions by listening to their emotions and feelings, even if they are unsure of the answer. As a computer, Watson couldn’t do this. People also watch and listen to those around them. Watson was not able to “listen” to the wrong answers given by his competitors. In one question, Jennings answered the question incorrectly and Watson later answered with the same wrong answer. Watson also made silly mistakes. In a question in the category U.S. Cities, Watson incorrectly answered Toronto, even though the city of Toronto is in Canada. An IBM researcher said Watson got confused because it saw in its memory bank that the U.S. is often called America. Toronto is considered a North American city, so that was the answer that Watson gave.

Still, Watson defeated his human opponents somewhat easily and received the $1 million prize. The other players also won money for participating in the special game. Everyone left the game happy, as each player was earning money for different charities. Câu 36: What best serves as the title for the passage?

A. A Technological Marvel C. Champions of Jeopardy! B. Human is Smarter D. Competitors of Jeopardy!

Câu 37: Which of the following is a silly mistake of Watson?

A. He based on other people’s clues to answer questions. B. He gave many answers to one question. C. He repeated his opponent’s answer that was wrong. D. He repeated the question.

Câu 38: The word “him” in paragraph 1 refers to _______. A. Brad Rutter B. an IBM researcher C. Ken Jennings D. Watson

Câu 39: How can Watson understand the question read out by humans?

A. He searches for the same question in his memory. B. He reads the question in an electronic form. C. He is helped by an IBM researcher. D. He just listens to it.

Câu 40: The word “bank” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______. A. stored information B. a financial service C. money D. side

Câu 41: All of the following statements are true about Watson EXCEPT A. The way Watson produces an answer is the same as that of humans. B. In order to answer questions, Watson uses math. C. He’d never been in an official Jeopardy! before he joined the show with Jennings and Rutter. D. His memory bank is equal to one million books.

The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental destruction, is changing the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the movement is growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of new technology.

Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps. Also, they reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One way is to provide an alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Once installed, they provide energy at no cost and with no pollution. Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut electricity use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs. To reduce the amount of fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so that the building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most environmentally responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and building had to consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees and the need to lessen the negative environmental impact. 75 percent of the building materials were recycled materials, and the energy use

Trang 1

has been reduced by 43 percent and water use by 32 percent, compared with other buildings of the same size.

In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed according to green building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was once the site of army housing. The site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30 percent less energy than conventional ones. These houses, heated by special non-polluting systems, are also equipped with solar panels.

A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include houses for 400 families built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation. In a second phase, entire neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas in new neighborhoods across China.

Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies, and governments are beginning to see their benefits. Not only are they environmentally friendly, green buildings improve living and working conditions and also save money in the long run.

REALITY TELEVISION Reality, television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or humourous situations, documents actual events and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or "heightened" documentary. Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early year of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.

Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from games to quiz shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern example is Gaki no Tsukai), to surveillance - or voyeurism - focused production such as Big Brother.

Critics say that the term "reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal situations, sometimes coach to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.

Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also reach some degree of celebrity.

Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an inaccurate description of several styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other special-living-environment shows like the Real World, the producers design the format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word "reality” to describe his shows; he has said, "I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama."

Câu 26: The word fabricated in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ____. A. imaginary B. isolated C. imaginative D. real

Câu 27: Which of the following in NOT true according to the passage? A. Shows like Survivor have good narratives. B. Reality television has been popular since well before 2000. C. Mark Burnett thinks the term "reality television” is inaccurate. D. Japan has produced demeaning TV shows copied elsewhere.

Câu 28: According to the passage, the program “Pop Idol” ____.

A. is a dating show. B. turns all participants into celebrities. C. is less likely to turn participants into celebrities than Big Brother. D. is more likely to turn its participants into celebrities than Big Brother.

Câu 29: In the first line, the writer says “it is claimed” because ____. A. he totally disagrees with the statement B. everybody except the writer agrees with the statement. C. he wants to emphasize that it is his own claim. D. he wants to distance himself from the statement.

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

South Pole explorer Ernest Shackleton never reached his goal of crossing Antarctica, but the circumstances that prevented him from reaching that goal pushed him to achieve an even more amazing feat. In January 1915 Shackelton‟s ship Endurance became trapped in the ice of Antarctica. He and his crew of twenty-seven lived on the ship trapped in the ice floes for nine months, until they had to abandon the ship when the ice crushed it. The day the ship sank, Shackleton wrote his new goal: “The task is to reach land with all members of the expedition.” The group camped on the ice floes for six months, until the ice broke up and they took small lifeboats to nearby uninhabited Elephant Island. During their time on the ship, ice, and island, Shackleton‟s group endured temperatures as low as twenty degrees below zero and had no daylight from May to July. They had to hunt scarce seals and penguins for food, and were hunted themselves by killer whales and sea leopards, which would rise through the ice in search of prey. Throughout this time, Shackleton demonstrated his leadership by rationing food, rotating use of warmer sleeping bags, and keeping a calm, positive attitude that helped morale. He also showed great courage as he and five of his men crossed eight hundred miles of dangerous ocean to the nearest inhabited island to seek help. Despite no maps and terrible weather, Shackeleton‟s small boat reached the island where Shackleton and an even smaller group crossed unexplored, jagged mountains to reach a whaling station. He organized a rescue party to retrieve the rest of his crew, and despite the perils of living in south polar waters for almost two years, all twenty-seven men came back from the expedition. Shackleton never crossed the South Pole, but he completed the task of bringing back all of his crew alive.

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

Free-standing sculpture that is molded or carved is a type familiar to almost everyone. Although certain free-standing figures or groups of figures can have only a single side intended for viewing, others are completed on all sides. As with all other forms of art, the ultimate shape of a sculpture reflects the artist„s vision of individuals or experiences represented by the work. Throughout history, people everywhere have discovered a need for sculpture as a record of events and feelings.

Materials which can be sculptured do much to contribute to the artist‟s imagination. Wood, stone, metal, and various types of plastic and synthetics are all used as sculpting media. When sculptures are made of stone, wood, ivory, or even ice, the sculptor carves or chips the substance to reduce it to the necessary shape. Developing a sculptured image on all sides represents a change from the older approach when artists left the back portion of the figure unfinished and rough. In fact, sculpture in relief is completely attached to the flat background material and appears to be a part of it. Relief, which is completed only on one side intended for viewing, was the first type of sculpture created by man, when ancient sculptors removed the background material in a side of a tree or a cave to make their drawing appear more realistic.

While creating a statue, the artist depends on the appropriate lighting to develop the figure because the quality of the final product relies on the interplay between light and shade. When the work is finished, the sculpture must be displayed in the same light as it was originally created. If a light from a source is too weak or too strong, the effect that the sculptor intended may be lost. For example, in painting, the light and shade give the image shape and solidity that cannot be altered by an external light in which it is displayed. When a sculpture is exhibited, the artist‟s work is brought to life by light, and its character can be altered by the control of the light source. A fundamental difference between a painting and a sculpture is that when viewing a painting, the audience can only see the point of view that the painter had intended. A free- standing sculpture can be seen from practically any angle. The job of the sculptor is then to attain the quality and the volume of the image from any possible point of view.

In addition to carving a work, sculptures can be cast. In the process of casting, a sculpture can be reproduced in a mold when a liquefied medium is poured into shape. Trang 3/6 - Mã đề 103

After the material from which the sculpture is made hardens, the mold is removed, and the work is cleaned of the excess and polished. Casting allows the artists to produce as many replicas as needed. Most commercially sold sculptures are made in this way. Casting metals requires special care and skill. Bronze is the preferred metal because of its versatility and malleability. To make bronze sculpture, the space in a mold is filled with wax until it is melted by the heated metal. This process, sometimes called lost-wax, was favored by Benvenuto Cellini and was common among the artists in ancient China. Câu 26: What is the main topic of this passage?

A. Differences between painting and sculpture B. Sculpting techniques and media C. Types of commercially produced sculptures D. Reasons for enjoying sculpture

A. ulterior

Câu 27: The word “ ultimate” is closest in meaning to C. formal B. final

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called "synchronized sound" – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.

In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us "talking pictures". (Source: https://vndoc.com)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 11 to 17.

The cause of tooth decay is acid, which is produced by bacteria in the mouth. The acid removes minerals from tooth enamel, allowing tooth decay to begin; the saliva in your mouth encourages remineralization and neutralizes the acid. The rate at which bacteria in the mouth produce acid depends on the amount of plaque on the teeth, the composition of the microbial flora, and whether the bacteria of the plaque have been "primed" by frequent exposure to sugar. To keep your teeth healthy, a regular dental hygiene program should be followed.

Removing plaque with a toothbrush and dental floss temporarily reduces the numbers of bacteria in the mouth and thus reduces tooth decay. It also makes the surfaces of the teeth more accessible, enabling saliva to neutralize acid and remineralize lesions. If fluoride is present in drinking water when teeth are forming, some fluoride is incorporated into the enamel of the teeth, making them more resistant to attack by acid. Fluoride toothpaste seems to act in another way, by promoting the remineralization of early carious lesions.

In addition to a regular dental hygiene program, a good way to keep your teeth healthy is to reduce your intake of sweet food. The least cavity-causing way to eat sweets is to have them with meals and not between. The number of times you eat sweets rather than the total amount determines how much harmful acid the bacteria in your saliva produce. But the amount of sweets influences the quality of your saliva. Avoid, if you can, sticky sweets that stay in your mouth a long time. Also try to brush and floss your teeth after eating sugary foods. Even rinsing your mouth with water is effective.

Whenever possible, eat foods with fiber, such as raw carrot sticks, apples, celery sticks, etc., that scrape off plaque, acting as a toothbrush. Cavities can be greatly reduced if these rules are followed when eating sweets. (Adapted from English Unlimited by Adrian Deff and Ben Gok) Question 11: What does this passage mainly discuss?

The coronavirus is usually transmitted by droplets, such as those produced when coughing and sneezing, and by direct or indirect contact with secretions infected by the virus. The virus may also shed in blood, urine and faeces, and, therefore, there is potential for transmission through contact with a wide range of bodily fluids. Certainly, person-to-person spread has been confirmed in community and healthcare settings across Asia and into Europe. There is also a possibility that asymptomatic carriers may be able to infect people. Public Health England (PHE) has classified the COVID-19 infection as an airborne, high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK. The application of infection prevention and control (IPC) principles are already widely used by healthcare professionals within hospital and community settings to both prevent the spread of infections and to control outbreaks when they do occur. The WHO has issued interim guidance regarding IPC when COVID-19 is suspected. This advice is echoed by guidance issued by PHE. PHE suggests the coronavirus may pose complications, such as illness pneumonia or severe acute respiratory infection. They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions or are immunocompromised are at risk of these complications. It is important that as first-line staff, midwives are also familiar with the recommended IPC principles and measures, and ensure they have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for a patient with suspected COVID-19.

Even before the turn of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the realistic and the formalistic. Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute, terms. When used to suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end they are just labels. Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist. There is also an important difference between realism and reality, although this distinction is often forgotten. Realism is a particular type, whereas physical reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic and formalistic. Virtually, all movie directors go to the photographable world for their subject matter, but what they do with this material- how they shape and manipulate it- determines their stylistic emphasis.

Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a minimum of distortion. In photographing objects and events, the Filmmaker tries to suggest the copiousness of life itself. Both realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize) certain details from the chaotic sprawl of reality. But the element of selectivity in realistic films is less obvious. Realists, in short, to preserve the illusion that their film world is unmanipulated, an objective mirror the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretense. They deliberately stylize and distort their raw materials so that only the very naive would mistake a manipulated image of an object or event for the real thing. We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing. The filmmakers are more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated. The camera is used conservatively. It is essentially a recording mechanism that produces the surface of tangible objects with as little commentary as possible. A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and directness. It is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the realistic cinema specializes in art that conceals art. (Source: https://healthline.com)

The coronavirus is usually transmitted by droplets, such as those produced when coughing and sneezing, and by direct or indirect contact with secretions infected by the virus. The virus may also shed in blood, urine and faeces, and, therefore, there is potential for transmission through contact with a wide range of bodily fluids. Certainly, person-to-person spread has been confirmed in community and healthcare settings across Asia and into Europe. There is also a possibility that asymptomatic carriers may be able to infect people. Public Health England (PHE) has classified the COVID-19 infection as an airborne, high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK. The application of infection prevention and control (IPC) principles are already widely used by healthcare professionals within hospital and community settings to both prevent the spread of infections and to control outbreaks when they do occur. The WHO has issued interim guidance regarding IPC when COVID-19 is suspected. This advice is echoed by guidance issued by PHE. PHE suggests the coronavirus may pose complications, such as illness pneumonia or severe acute respiratory infection. They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions or are immunocompromised are at risk of these complications. It is important that as first-line staff, midwives are also familiar with the recommended IPC principles and measures, and ensure they have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for a patient with suspected COVID-19.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 3 to 9 Today, there are 600 million cars in the world. They may seem like a lot. However, there are over 7 million people on our planet. Most of the world’s population uses public transportation to get around. The number of people using public transportation continues to rise. Subway systems worldwide carry 155 million passengers each day. That’s more than 30 times the number carried by all the world’s airplanes. Every day in Tokyo passengers take more than 40 million rides on public transportation. Yet many people see public transportation as ‘a depressing experience’, says author Taras Gresco. They say it is slow, crowded, or too expensive. In fact , Gresco says, it is actually ‘faster, more comfortable and cheaper’ than driving a car. Like millions of people, Taras Gresco is a ‘straphanger’ - a person who rides public transportation. In his book straphanger: Saving Our Cities and Ourselves from the Automobile, Gresco describe the benefits of public transportation. Firstly, it is better for the environment. When people use public transportation, they use less fuel. Twenty people on one bus use much less fuel than 20 people in 20 cars. Fewer cars mean less pollution and cleaner air. Using public transportation can be good for your health in other ways. It can even help you lose weight. In one study, a group of people took public transportation every day for six months. Each day they walked to a bus stop or train station. In six months, each person lost an average of six pounds - almost three kilograms. Taking public transportation has another benefit, says Gresco. It helps people become part of their community. When you are alone in your car, you don’t talk to anyone. One Tokyo straphanger told Gresco, “To use public transport is to know how to cooperate with other people,’ It teaches you ‘how to behave in a public space’. So, public transportation is more than a way to get to work or school. It can help lead to cleaner cities. It may also lead to a healthier and more cooperative world population.

In the play, a man makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In the 1940s, the American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the term robotics, the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were developed by an engineer, Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they started Unimation, a manufacturing company that produces the first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate. Robots of this type were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success. They worked reliably and saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well. These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply pieces of computer-controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands”. Since they were made of metal, they could perform certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat. And since robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be tiring or boring for humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in many factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the same time other jobs have been created in the design, development, and production of the robots.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35. Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his own use. This not only provided a more abundant food source but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today.

As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organise their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ. Thus, an extract made from a heartshaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems.

Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our present knowledge of drugs and their uses.

A. Cures from plants B. The beginning of natural history

C. Prehistoric man D. Early plants and animals

Question 32: Domestication of plants and animals probably occurred because of .

A. the need for more readily available food

B. ack of wild animals and plant

C. early man’s power as a hunter

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

Nature has always provided a stimulus for inventive minds. Early flying machines clearly were an attempt to emulate the freedom of birds. Architects and engineers have often consciously modeled buildings on forms found in nature. A more recent example of the inspiration given by nature is the invention of Velcro®. The inventor of this now common fastening device noticed that small burrs attached to his dog's coat grasped the hairs by means of tiny hooks. This led him to invent a synthetic fabric whose surfaces mimic the clasping properties of this natural seedpod. Animals and plants have evolved solutions to the kinds of problems that often interest engineers and designers. Much current research in material science is concerned with actively examining the natural world, especially at the molecular level, for inspiration to develop materials with novel properties. This relatively new field of study is sometimes known as biomimetics, since it consciously attempts to mimic nature.

Researchers have investigated several interesting areas. For example, they have studied how the molecular structure of antler bone contributes to its amazing toughness, how the skin structure of a worm contributes to its ability to crawl, how the sea cucumber softens its skeleton and changes shape so that it can squeeze through tiny gaps in rocks, or what gives wood its high resistance to impact. These investigations have led to several breakthroughs in the development of composite materials with remarkable properties.

B. captivate D. activate C. imitate

C. fictitious B. familiar

D. worm C. shape

4

Predictions for future inventions that may be developed from these lines of research include so- called smart structures that design and repair themselves in a similar way to a variety of processes in the natural world. For example, engineers have envisaged bridges that would detect areas heavily stressed by vehicle movement or wind. The bridge structure would then automatically add or move material to the weak areas until the stress is reduced. The same principle might be used to repair damaged buildings. Other new materials that have been imagined are substances that would copy photosynthesis in green plants in order to create new energy sources. The potential impact of biomimetic research is so great that the twenty-first century may come to be known as the "Age of Materials." Question 36: The passage is primarily concerned with ______. A. future research into the uses of Velcro® B. the effect of the Age of Materials on nature C. the development of products based on nature D. problems that preoccupy designers and engineers Question 37: The word “emulate” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______. A. stimulate Question 38: The word “novel” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______. A. unique D. legendary Question 39: Which of the following does the word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. sea cucumber B. skeleton Question 40: According to the passage, what do investigations in biomimetics suggest? A. Biomimetics is not promising. B. Biomimetics may lead to the development of new creatures. C. Biomimetics may lead to useful inventions. D. Biomimetics has provided the new material for smart structures. Question 41: According to the passage, which of the following would NOT be a useful biomimetic product? A. Tomatoes mimicking the structures that give sea cucumbers the ability to squeeze through cracks B. Bulletproof jackets mimicking the structures that give wood its resistance to impact C. Glass in windshields mimicking the structures that give antler bone its toughness D. Cables mimicking the structures that give spiderwebs their flexibility and tensile strength Question 42: As inferred from the passage, what would be the advantage of a product that mimics photosynthesis?

D. schoolwork C. distract B. games

A. It could be used to create green plants. B. It could help to meet future energy needs. C. It could be an aid in repairing green areas. D. It could form the basis of twenty-first century materials.

The coronavirus is usually transmitted by droplets, such as those produced when coughing and sneezing, and by direct or indirect contact with secretions infected by the virus. The virus may also shed in blood, urine and faeces, and, therefore, there is potential for transmission through contact with a wide range of bodily fluids. Certainly, person-to-person spread has been confirmed in community and healthcare settings across Asia and

into Europe. There is also a possibility that asymptomatic carriers may be able to infect people. Public Health England (PHE) has classified the COVID-19 infection as an airborne, high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK. The application of infection prevention and control (IPC) principles are already widely used by healthcare professionals within hospital and community settings to both prevent the spread of infections and to control outbreaks when they do occur. The WHO has issued interim guidance regarding IPC when COVID-19 is suspected. This advice is echoed by guidance issued by PHE. PHE suggests the coronavirus may pose complications, such as illness pneumonia or severe acute respiratory infection. They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions or are immunocompromised are at risk of these complications. It is important that as first-line staff, midwives are also familiar with the recommended IPC principles and measures, and ensure they have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for a patient with suspected COVID-19.

Even before the turn of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the realistic and the formalistic. Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute, terms. When used to suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end they are just labels. Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist. There is also an important difference between realism and reality, although this distinction is often forgotten. Realism is a particular type, whereas physical reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic and formalistic. Virtually, all movie directors go to the photographable world for their subject matter, but what they do with this material- how they shape and manipulate it- determines their stylistic emphasis.

Mã đề thi 419 – trang 3/4

Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a minimum of distortion. In photographing objects and events, the Filmmaker tries to suggest the copiousness of life itself. Both realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize) certain details from the chaotic sprawl of reality. But the element of selectivity in realistic films is less obvious. Realists, in short, to preserve the illusion that their film world is not manipulated, an objective mirror the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretense. They deliberately stylize and distort their raw materials so that only the very naive would mistake a manipulated image of an object or event for the real thing. We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing. The filmmakers are more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated. The camera is used conservatively. It is essentially a recording mechanism that produces the surface of tangible objects with as little commentary as possible. A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and directness. It is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the realistic cinema specializes in art that conceals art.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning to night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential fora healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of every life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight", and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are not likely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (and it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. Question 37: People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_________.

A. they are becoming busier their work B. they are travelling fast all the time C. they do not know how to enjoy themselves D. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health Question 38: According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his_________.

A. having control over performance C. high sense of responsibility B. not fearing stress D. knowing the art of relaxation Question 39: Which of the following statements is true?

A. Different people can withstand different amount of stress B. It’s easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work C. Stress is always harmful to people D. We can find some ways to avoid stress

Question 40: In paragraph 3. "such a reaction" refers back to_________ B. losing heart at die signs of difficulties A. responding to crises quickly C. making a choice between "fight" or "flight" D. reaction to stress both chemically and physically Question 41: In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to_________.

A. establish links between diseases and stress C. find ways to deal with stress B. remove stress from our lives D. expose ourselves to stress

Read the following text and circle the best answer among A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet for the questions from 42 to 48

Buying a house is the single largest financial investment an individual makes. Yet, in India this act is fraught with risk and individuals depend on weak laws for justice. Occasionally, deviant promoters are called to account as was the case in the detention of Unitech's promoters. This incident shows up the fallout of an absence of proper regulation to cover contracts between buyers and real estate promoters. A real estate bill, which is presently pending in Rajya Sabha, seeks to fill this gap. It has been debated for over two years and should be passed by Parliament in the budget session.

India is in the midst of rapid urbanization and urban population is expected to more than double to about 900 million over the next three decades. Unfortunately, even the current population does not have adequate housing. A government estimate in 2012 put the shortage at nearly 19 million units. If this shortage is to be alleviated quickly, India's messy real estate sector needs reforms.

The real estate bill seeks to set standards for contracts between buyers and sellers. Transparency, a rare commodity in real estate, is enforced as promoters have to upload project details on the regulators'

Trang 3

website. Importantly, standard definitions of terms mean that buyers will not feel cheated after taking possession of a house. In order to protect buyers who pay upfront, a part of the money collected for a real estate project is ring-fenced in a separate bank account. Also, given the uncertainty, which exists in India on land titles, the real estate bill provides title insurance. This bill has been scrutinized by two parliamentary committees and its passage now brooks no delay.

This bill is an important step in cleaning up the real estate market, but the journey should not end with it. State governments play a significant role in real estate and they are often the source of problems. Some estimates suggest that real estate developers have to seek approvals of as many as 40 central and state departments, which lead to delays and an escalation in the cost of houses. Sensibly, NDA government's project to provide universal urban housing forces states to institute reforms to access central funding. Without real estate reforms at the level of states, it will not be possible to meet the ambition of making housing accessible for all urban dwellers. Question 42: According to the passage, what is the source of problem in real estate?

A. Market money makers C. Buyers and sellers B. Central governments D. State governments Question 43: According to the passage, which of the following is the pending in Rajya Sabha?

A. Real estate bill C. NDA government's new scheme B. Universal urban housing programme D. Universal rural housing programme Question 44: The word alleviated in the second paragraph is OPPOSITE in meaning to ____. A. deaden B. aggravated C. diminished D. relieved Question 45: It can be inferred from the passage that ____.

A. in India, no one depends on laws for justice B. the real estate bill does not provide title insurance C. urbanization in India has increased rapidly D. buying house is not a single largest individual investment

Question 46: The word escalation in the forth paragraph refers to ____. B. Decrease C. sustainability A. reduction D. growth Question 47: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. India's real estate sector needs reforms. B. Urban population is expected to more than double to about 850 million over the next three decades. C. Real state bill has been scrutinized by two parliamentary committees. D. Current population does not have adequate housing in India. Question 48: It is impossible to meet the ambition of making housing accessible for urban dwellers ____.

B. without passing the bill in Rajya Sabha D. without support of central government

A. without real estate reforms at the level of states C. with real estate reforms at state level Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences in the following questions. Question 49: Something hit the door. I heard a slam.

A. Something hit the door when I heard a slam. B. Something hit the door though I heard a slam. C. Something hit the door but I heard a slam. D. Something hit the door for I heard a slam.

Question 50: Disabled people can contribute to our community. Non-disabled people can also contribute to our community.

A. Neither disabled people nor non-disabled ones can contribute to our community. B. Both disabled people and non-disabled ones can contribute to our community. C. Only disabled people not non-disabled ones can contribute to our community. D. Either disabled people or non-disabled ones can contribute to our community.

In Africa, people celebrate with joy the birth of a new baby. The Pygmies would sing a birth-song to the child. In Kenya, the mother takes the baby strapped to her back into the thorn enclosure where the cattle are kept. There, her husband and the village elders wait to give the child his or her name. In West Africa, after the baby is eight days old, the mother takes the baby for its first walk in the big, wide world, and friends and family are invited to meet the new baby. In various African nations, they hold initiation ceremonies for groups of children instead of birthdays. When children reach a certain designated age, they learn the laws, beliefs, customs, songs and dances of their tribes. Some African tribes consider that children from nine to twelve are ready to be initiated into the grown up world. They may have to carry out several tests. Maasai boys around thirteen years old to seventeen undergo a two-stage initiation. The first stage lasts about three months. The boys leave their parents' homes, paint their bodies white, and are taught how to become young warriors. At the end of this stage, they have their heads shaved and they are also circumcised. At the second stage, the young warriors grow their hair long and live in a camp called a “manyatta” where they practice hunting the wild animals that might attack the Maasai herds. This stage may last a few years. When they are ready, they will marry and become owners of large cattle herds like their fathers. The girls are initiated when they are fourteen or fifteen. They are taught by the older women about the duties of marriage and how to care for babies. Soon after that they are married and lead a life similar to that of their mothers. Question 28.

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to the following questions. Foot racing is a popular activity in the United States. It is seen not only as a competitive sport but also as a way to exercise, to enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded people, and to donate money to a good cause. Though serious runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train at all. Those not competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time or simply to enjoy the fun and exercise. People of all ages, from those of less than one year (who may be pushed in strollers) to those in their eighties, enter into this sport. The races are held on city streets, on college campuses, through parks, and in suburban areas, and they are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length. The largest foot race in the world is the 12-kilometer Bay to Breakers race that is held in San Francisco every spring. This race begins on the east side of the city near San Francisco Bay and ends on the west side at the Pacific Ocean. There may be 80,000 or more people running in this race through the streets and hills of San Francisco.

Do you enjoy eating salsa and chips? Or maybe you like having ketchup on your fries? Then, you must like the essential ingredient in these sauces, tomatoes. The tomato originally comes from South America and has been eaten by people there for thousands of years. Today, tomatoes are popular the world over. However, when they were first introduced, there was quite a bit of controversy and worry surrounding them.

Ancient Aztec writings mention recipes for dishes of tomatoes, peppers, and salt-probably the first salsa recipe! Spanish soldiers conquered the Aztecs and brought tomato seeds back with them to Europe. In Europe, these yellowish tomatoes were first called “apples of gold.” For a long time, people in Northern Europe and North America did not eat these “apples of gold.” People were afraid to eat tomatoes because the plant looked similar to the nightshade plant, a deadly poison. German people even thought that if someone ate tomatoes, he or she would change into a werewolf. However, by the mid-1800s, people all over the world had accepted the tomato as a good food to eat. Nevertheless, the tomato was due for more controversy. Do you think tomatoes are a fruit or vegetable? Actually tomatoes are a fruit. However, in America, tomatoes are a vegetable by law. Why are tomatoes legally a vegetable in America? In the 1800s, there was no import tax on fruit from other countries, but there was an import tax on vegetables. At that time, many tomatoes were coming from other countries into America, and American tomato farmers became worried about making a living. The government made tomatoes a vegetable by law so that non-American tomatoes would be taxed. It is easy to tell that the tomato is really a fruit. In fact, tomatoes are similar to berries. Both have seeds inside, and both grow from the flowers of a plant. Both also have delicious flesh surrounding the seeds. Tomatoes and strawberries are actually in the same family. Question 31. What is the focus of this reading? A. What kind of thing tomatoes really are C. The history of famous tomato dishes B. How to grow tomatoes D. Controversies surrounding tomatoes Question 32. What is NOT a reason why people didn’t eat tomatoes at first? A. They thought tomatoes could change them into monsters.

B. They thought tomatoes were poisonous. C. They thought tomatoes were similar to a deadly plant. D. They thought tomatoes cost too much to grow. Question 33. What does the US government say tomatoes are?

A. A kind of fruit C. Both a fruit and a vegetable B. A kind of vegetable D. Neither a fruit nor a vegetable Question 34. The word “them’ in the passage refers to ________ A. people B. soldiers C. seeds D. tomatoes Question 35. What is the most likely reason why people first called tomatoes “apples of gold”?

A. Tomatoes were very expensive. C. Tomatoes were a color like gold. B. Tomatoes tasted delicious. D. Tomatoes came from South America.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

Culture shock is the emotional and mental reaction to being in a completely new cultural environment. This is often a very difficult experience for many people and it consists of several stages of feelings until someone successfully adapts to being in the new culture.

The “honeymoon” phase of culture shock is usually the first stage that people go through when surrounded by different cultural values and lifestyles. During this stage, people often have very positive images of their new cultural surroundings. They tend to view these in an idealistic way and ignore or minimize problems. Encounters with new people are seen as fascinating and unique. This phase is usually quite short for most people and quickly gives way to the second stage, called “the frustration phase”.

During the “frustration phase”, the newcomer begins to experience a more negative view of their cultural surroundings. The problems of communicating in a new language or the tasting different foods, for example, are no longer novel. The visitor tends to exaggerate or dwell on problems in the new culture. There is a definite frustration that things that should be easy are still difficult. For example, people who may have been enjoyed learning the basics of a language during the honeymoon phase would now find it a chore to try and communicate with locals in the frustration phase. Newcomers may feel isolated during this phase and many people will voluntarily isolate themselves. Depending on one’s outlook and situation, this phase can last days, months, or even years.

After the frustration phase ends, the adjustment phase begins. This marks the time when newcomers begin to adapt to the new culture. They begin to accept the differences around them and the challenges of everyday life. They can appreciate some aspects of the new culture while being realistic about those they perceived as problems back in the frustration phase. This opens the door to three possible outcomes – mastery, rejection, or assimilation.

Those newcomers who enter the “mastery phase” have completely adapted to the values and beliefs of the new culture. They are able to navigate the new culture like a native while at the same time keeping some of their own original cultural values. Those who choose the “rejection phase” have decided against integrating in the new culture and do not accept it. They usually choose to permanently withdraw from the culture through isolation or returning home. Interestingly, these people usually have the hardest time re-adjusting to their home culture after going back. Integrators are people who completely adopt the identity of the new culture and give up the values and beliefs of their home culture.

B. fascinating and unique people D. cutural values and lifestyles

Culture shock is a very emotional experience for most people and there are many symptoms. A person going through culture shock may display irritability and angry outbursts at times. Many experience a bout of depression or lethargy from time to time. If not managed carefully, this can lead some people to suicide. It is important to recognize these symptoms in newcomers and understand the reasons for these feelings. Question 36. According to the article, what is culture shock? A. a disease caused by a traumatic shock to the body B. a program designed to support projects that introduce various aspects of culture C. an exchange of students between two countries to promote mutual understanding D. the emotional and mental response to being in a new cultural environment Question 37. The word 'they' in paragraph 2 refers to________ A. people in culture shock C. people communicating in a new language Question 38. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that________ A. the second phase of culture shock is easier to deal with than the first one

B. absorption C. qualification D. identification

B. information about the frustration phase D. examples of the author's frustrations

B. people in the second phase of culture shock are generally less dissatisfied C. in the second phase of culture shock, people find it easy to communicate with locals D. people in the second phase of culture shock are generally more dissatisfied Question 39.

According to the article, newcomers who enter the 'mastery phase' have_______ A. become completely accustomed to the values and beliefs of the new culture B. decided against integrating in the new culture and do not accept it C. 100% completely mastered the new foreign language they were learning D. experienced a long bout of depression or lethargy from time to time Question 41. What could you predict as the topic of the next paragraph in the passage? A. how to deal with culture shock C. how to learn a new language Question 42. According to the passage, which is NOT TRUE about the culture shock? A. People may experience lots of troubles in the new culture during the second phase. B. In the first stage, people often have negative images of the new culture. C. After the second phase, there are three possible outcomes. D. Those who can’t adapt to the new culture have difficulty re-adjusting to their home culture.

You should make time for whole body health. Visit your doctors for regular checkups. This includes your primary doctor, as well as your dentist and eye doctor. Let your health benefits and preventive care

services work for you. Make sure you know what your health insurance plan involves. Preventive care can detect disease or prevent illness before they start. This includes certain doctor visits and screenings.

You need to make time for breast health. Breast cancer is a leading cause of death for women. Men can get breast cancer, too. Talk to your doctor about when you should start getting mammograms. You may

need to start screening early if you have risk factors, such as family history. One way to detect breast cancer is to do a monthly self-exam.

Women should get routine pap smears, as well. Women ages 21 to 65 should get tested every 3 years.

This may differ if you have certain conditions or have had your cervix removed.

factors and family history.

an annual flu shot. Adults need a Td booster every 10 years. Your doctor may substitute it with Tdap. This also protects against whooping cough (pertussis). Women who are pregnant need the Tdap vaccine. People

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

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now?

What do you hope about the future?

Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields, from entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.

Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometres away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.

In what concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems. In many places, agriculture is changing, and farmers are growing fruit and vegetables to export. This uses a

lot of water. Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.

In transport, cars running on new, clean fuels will have computers to control the speed and there won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the

computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. On the other hand, space planes will take people halfway around the world in two hours. Nowadays, the United States Shuttle can go into space and

land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.

In the domain of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots - they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24

hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere - in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.

Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help

Internet Business In the mid to late 1990s, thousands of new companies were set up with one purpose: to benefit from the explosion of interest in the internet. Large corporations were happy to invest millions in the weirdest website ideas, confident that they would make a (26) ______ over time. Most of them didn’t. Indeed, the vast majority of them have gone bust, leaving their investors severely out of pocket. So what went wrong? The main mistake that companies made was to forget to ask how their dot com company (as internet- based companies are sometimes called) would actually make a profit. It sounds fairly obvious now, but in the rush to ‘get on the net’, the whole concept was (27) ______. There was also a second problem (28) ______ dot coms did not anticipate. Yes, internet traffic was increasing enormously, (29) ______ people still felt uncomfortable - many still do, in fact - about buying products and services online. Even if the dot coms had come up with sensible business ideas, it’s unlikely they would have brought in enough to cover their initial investment. There were (30) ______ exceptions , of course. Some companies have been hugely successful on the internet. Most, however, found it wasn’t as easy to run an internet business as they'd thought.

Cruises are becoming more and more popular, with around 20 million passengers per year now enjoying holidays on board luxury ships. Many people see a cruise as the perfect way to sit back and do nothing, and enjoy time off work. Everything you could possibly need is within easy reach. On board, there are shops, theatres, cinemas, swimming pools and leisure centres. There are more facilities, in fact, than most towns offer their residents. It’s therefore easy to see why they are so popular. But what is the effect on the environment of this trend? Although it usually takes less energy for a vehicle to move through water than over land, cruise ships are often huge, with the biggest ones carrying up to 6,000 passengers. Moving such large vehicles requires enormous engines, which burn as much as 300,000 litres of fuel a day. One scientist has calculated that cruise ships create as much pollution as 5 million cars going over the same distance. Because they are out at sea, they also burn dirtier fuel that isn’t allowed on land. Unfortunately, no government has control over the amount of air pollution out at sea. Cruises also produce huge amounts of rubbish, and cruise ships aren’t usually good at recycling. Waste water from showers and toilets is usually poured directly into the sea – as much per day as from a small town. Waste food from restaurants isn’t put into the sea, but still causes problems when brought back to the land. Cruise ships also cause difficulties in the cities where they stop. Popular destinations can get five or six ships per day, with thousands of tourists at a time. Good for restaurants? No. Restaurant owners complain that the visitors look around for a few hours and then return to their ship to eat. What’s more, the crowds can put off other tourists, who complain that the streets are too busy. Some

towns have banned cruise ships or put a limit on the number that can stop at the same time.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Coral polyps can truly be called the animals that helped make the world. For uncounted generations, trillions upon trillions of coral polyps have built structures called reefs, larger in scale than those of any other living beings, including humans. The stone-like material created by these tiny animals becomes limestone, a prized building material that was used to construct the Great Pyramids of Egypt. Huge deposits of limestone exist underground, beneath the ocean, in islands, and in mountains. Limestone has been used in the construction of countless churches, castles, train stations, and banks, and crushed limestone is a major ingredient of cement. Living coral reefs are remarkable “cities beneath the sea,” filled with a rich variety of life. These undersea ecosystems thrive in the warm, shallow oceans near the equator. Among the world’s most colorful places, coral reefs are full of brilliantly colored fish and coral covered in wonderful patterns. Reef fish are an important food source for humans and make up a significant percentage of the global fish catch. In recent years, various factors have threatened coral reefs and the life that depends on them as their home. Blast fishing is an illegal fishing method which involves setting off bombs in the water to kill as many fish as possible. Its negative effects on a reef are significant; it kills most living things and causes great damage to the reef’s structure. Fishing with liquid cyanide, a very dangerous and deadly material, is another threat to reef ecosystems, particularly in the Philippines. Fishermen release liquid cyanide into the reef and collect the stunned fish, which are then sold for big money to the aquarium market, or for consumption in restaurants. The fishermen often break apart the reef to look

for hiding fish. The cyanide also kills large numbers of coral polyps, leaving large areas of the reef dead. Reefs are also damaged when coral is taken for building material, jewelry, or aquarium ornaments. Water pollution also results in damage. In addition, the recent warming of the oceans has caused areas of many reefs to turn white. Biologists are concerned that coral may be negatively impacted by further warming. Threats to coral reefs are serious, but there is reason to hope that they will manage to survive. If we take steps toward coral reef conservation, it is likely that these tiny creatures, which have survived natural threats for millions of years, will be able to rebuild the damaged reefs that so many ocean animals and plants depend on. Question 36: What is this passage mainly about? Question 37: The word “scale” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to? Question 38: Which statement about coral reefs is NOT true, according to the passage? Question 39: The word “thrive” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to?

A. It is unlikely that coral reefs will survive and prosper due to the overabundance of other aquatic animals and plants B. Coral reefs may actually be more likely to recover with human support C. Only weather-related damage acts as a barrier preventing coral reef communities from developing D. There is no correlation between human factors and the damage to the coral reefs

The first impressions are rather menacing. Visitors must sign in and show identification before being allowed into the building. Such tight security gives one the feeling of entering a prison or some other dangerous place. But what a deceptive first impression! Manhattan Comprehensive Night High School may be the friendliest, most caring institution in all of New York City. A school of last resort for many of its students, it is their best chance to turn their lives around, and make friends in the process. Manhattan Comp, as it is called, is the first full-time night high school in America.

High school is compulsory until the age of sixteen in America, but many students drop out, either before or after they reach sixteen, and before receiving their high school diplomas. Until now, night education programmes for dropouts only provided the basics and then awarded an equivalency certificate. But now, Manhattan Comp offers the total high school experience, complete with a “lunch” break, physical education and clubs. The students receive an academic diploma, which they say is more helpful in getting a job than an equivalency certificate. More than sixty percent of Manhattan Comp's students go on to college. Most of the school's 450 students have either been expelled from or dropped out of other high schools. Some have been in two or three schools before this one. What seems to make this school work for these hardto- place students is the staff and, most importantly, the principal. All students call him Howard. As he walks through the building, he greets students by name, asks about their families or jobs and jokes with them about the lack of variety in the school cafeteria.

Most students at Manhattan Comp are between eighteen and twenty-two years old. You must be at least seventeen to enrol. The classes run from 5 to 11 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, with all-day enrichment programmes on Sundays which explore topics like playwriting art and video production. School terms are ten weeks long, which gives students the opportunity to take time off for family matters or jobs. Most students already have some academic credits from previous schools, so instead of the normal four years in high school, they spend between six months and two years at Manhattan Comp. (Adapted from “Oxford Exam Excellence” by Danuts Gryes et al.)

B. unwelcoming C. subjective D. lasting

Question 34: Which best serves as the title for the passage? A. A Day in the Life of a Manhattan Comp Student B. Manhattan Comp: One of a Kind C. Night Schools: A Passing Fad D. The Success Story of a Typical American School Question 35: The word “deceptive” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. invited to attend Question 38: The word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. schools B. years Question 39: How long does it generally take students to complete the education at Manhattan Comp? A. Two years and a half Question 40: Which statement is NOT true, according to the passage? A. Visitors to Manhattan Comp are required to go through certain security procedure. B. The schooling experience at Manhattan Comp is likely to change the students' lives for the better. C. Many students at Manhattan Comp have never had any formal schooling before. D. All of the students at Manhattan Comp are seventeen or above. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the past two decades. The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological diversity. The high rate of species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems. As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth‟s ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction. In most situations, the result is irreversible. Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution.

Certainly, there have been periods in Earth‟s history when mass extinctions have occurred. The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic. There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion. Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species survived and which died out.

B. interesting D. essential C. negative

However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment. In fact, there is wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, that will lead to biological devastation. Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments. Question 41: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs B. The variety of species found in tropical rain forests C. The time required for species to adapt to new environments D. The impact of human activities on Earth’s ecosystems Question 42: The word “critical” is closest in meaning to A. complicated Question 43: The author mentions the extinction of the dinosaurs in the 2nd paragraph to emphasize that____ A. the cause of the dinosaurs’extinction is unknown B. actions by humans could not stop the irreversible process of a species’ extinction C. not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity

B. the introduction of new varieties of plant species D. destruction of the tropical rain forests

B. You may cheat in the GCSE. D. You should cheat in the GCSE-----------

D. Earth’s climate has changed significantly since the dinosaurs’extinction Question 44: The author mentions all of the following as examples of the effect of humans on the world’s Ecosystem EXCEPT____ A. habitat destruction in wetlands C. damage to marine ecosystems Question 45: With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree? A. Human influence on ecosystems should not be a factor in determining public policy. B. Humans should be more conscious of the influence they have on ecosystems. C. The extinction of a few species is an acceptable consequence of human progress. D. Technology will provide solutions to problems caused by the destruction of ecosystems. Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions. Question 46. Cheating is not allowed in the GCSE . A. You don’t have to cheat in the GCSE C. You musn’t cheat in the GCSE Question 47. “I’ll call you as soon as I arrive at the airport,” he said to me. A. He objected to calling me as soon as he arrived at the airport. B. He promised to call me as soon as he arrived at the airport. C. He denied calling me as soon as he arrived at the airport. D. He reminded me to call him as soon as he arrived at the airport. Question 48: They report that soil pollution has seriously threatened the livelihood of many local farmers. A. The livelihood of many local farmers was reported to be seriously endangered by soil pollution. B. It is reported that the livelihood of many local farmers has led to serious soil pollution. C. Soil pollution is reported to have posed a serious threat to the livelihood of many local farmers. D. It has been reported that soil pollution has actually put many local farmers' lives at risk.

We couldn’t continue without him. A. If he hadn’t contributed positively, we couldn’t have continued with the project. B. Unless we had his contribution, we could continue with the project. C. Provided his contribution wouldn’t come, we couldn’t continue with the project. D. But for his contribution, we could have continued with the project. Question 50: He badly suffered cyberbullying himself. He realized the true dangers of social media only then. A. Such was his suffering of cyberbullying that he didn't realise the true dangers of social media. B. Only when he had realized the true dangers of social media did he badly suffer cyberbullying himself. C.

THE CREATORS OF GRAMMAR No student of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex. By changing word

sequences and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs and suffixes, we are able to communicate

tiny variations in meaning. We can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has

taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey subtle

differences in meaning. Nor is this complexity inherent to the English language. All languages,

even those of so-called 'primitive' tribes have clever grammatical components. The Cherokee

pronoun system, for example, can distinguish between 'you and I', 'several other people and I'

and 'you, another person and I'. In English, all these meanings are summed up in the one, crude

pronoun 'we'. Grammar is universal and plays a part in every language, no matter how

widespread it is. So the question which has baffled many linguists is - who created grammar?

At first, it would appear that this question is impossible to answer. To find out how grammar is

created, someone needs to be present at the time of a language's creation, documenting its

emergence. Many historical linguists are able to trace modern complex languages back to

earlier languages, but in order to answer the question of how complex languages are actually

formed, the researcher needs to observe how languages are started from scratch. Amazingly,

however, this is possible.

Some of the most recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. At that time, slaves

from a number of different ethnicities were forced to work together under colonizer's rule.

Since they had no opportunity to learn each other's languages, they developed a make-shift

language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the

landowner. They have little in the way of grammar, and in many cases it is difficult for a

listener to deduce when an event happened, and who did what to whom. Speakers need to use

circumlocution in order to make their meaning understood. Interestingly, however, all it takes

for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at the

time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children did not simply copy the strings of

words uttered by their elders, they adapted their words to create a new, expressive language.

Complex grammar systems which emerge from pidgins are termed creoles, and they are

invented by children.

Further evidence of this can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Sign languages are

not simply a series of gestures; they utilise the same grammatical machinery that is found in

spoken languages. Moreover, there are many different languages used worldwide. The creation

of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua. Previously, all deaf people

were isolated from each other, but in 1979 a new government introduced schools for the deaf.

Although children were taught speech and lip reading in the classroom, in the playgrounds

they began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures that they used at home. It was

basically a pidgin. Each child used the signs differently, and there was no consistent grammar.

However, children who joined the school later, when this inventive sign system was already

around, developed a quite different sign language. Although it was based on the signs of the

older children, the younger children's language was more fluid and compact, and it utilised a

large range of grammatical devices to clarify meaning. What is more, all the children used the

signs in the same way. A new creole was born.

Some linguists believe that many of the world's most established languages were creoles at first.

The English past tense –ed ending may have evolved from the verb 'do'. 'It ended' may once

have been 'It end-did'. Therefore it would appear that even the most widespread languages

were partly created by children. Children appear to have innate grammatical machinery in

their brains, which springs to life when they are first trying to make sense of the world around

them. Their minds can serve to create logical, complex structures, even when there is no

grammar present for them to copy.

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

For over 300 yean since its appearance in Britain in 1621, newspapers were written and read by only a tiny minority. In 1896, a new newspaper was produced in large numbers and at such low prices that ordinary people could buy it on every street corner, and it was an instant success. The Daily Mail, which is still running today, was the mother of the modern tabloid. and the beginning of a whole new subculture in the British press. Today more than twice as many tabloids are sold than the so-called 'quality press' titles such as The Times or The Guardian. Originally, the word tabloid referred to the size and format. But today, for most people, the word tabloid has nothing to do with shape and size. What makes a tabloid a tabloid is content, and above all, style. Tabloids follow a special formula; they report the news, but only certain kinds. Tabloids dedicate most of their pages to stories about celebrities. This involves photographing them in embarrassing situations, gossiping about their private lives and generally making them look a bit silly. However, the tabloids are not simply an irritation for celebrities; they are also a vehicle for self-promotion. Though they have millions of devoted readers, tabloids are also widely criticised in Britain. They are accused of being sensationalist, in bad taste, and of having no ethical standards in their reporting and ‘researching’ methods. They may tap celebrities’ phones or even break into their houses just to get a story. When criticised, the tabloids state that the public has a right to know about everything, but celebrities have no rights to privacy at all. So why does Britain, which has access to the best press agencies and the highest journalistic standards, consume tabloids like chocolate? Maybe the reason is that we have enough news on the television, the radio and in the quality newspapers. Tabloids are not actually about news at all. Tabloids are just about gossip. And when it comes to gossip, what matters is not what is true or what is kind, but what is entertaining and what is funny. The more in bad taste a story is, the funnier it seems. And bad taste is what the British tabloids have made into an art.

(Adapted from Oxford Exam Excellence‛ by Dannula Gryca et al.)

The universal symbol of the Internet era communications, the @ sign used in e-mail

addresses to signify the word 'at', is (23) a 500-year-old invention of

Italian merchants, a

Rome academic has revealed. Giorgio Stabile, a science professor at La Sapienza University,

claims to have stumbled on the earliest known example of the symbol's use, as a(n) (24)

of a

measure of weight or volume. He says the

sign represents an amphora, a measure of capacity

based on the terracotta jars used to transport grain and liquid in the ancient Mediterranean world.

The professor unearthed toe ancient symbol in the course of research for a visual history of

the 20th century, to be published by the Treccani Encyclopedia. The first (25)

instance of its use,

he says, occurred in a letter written by a Florentine merchant on May 4, 1536. He says the sign

made its way along trade routes to northern Europe, where it came to represent 'at the price of’, its

contemporary accountancy meaning.

Professor Stabile believes that Italian banks may possess even earlier

documents (26)

the

symbol lying forgotten in their archives. The oldest example could be of great value. It could

be used (27)

purposes and to enhance the prestige of the institution that owned it, he says. The race is

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

the correct answer to each of the questions from 40 to 49.

A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of

the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake

Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake

3

is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by

geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it

from the frigid temperatures on the surface.

The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial

survey of the area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body

of water of indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite

made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an

extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake.

The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the

scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have

survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and

elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas. The downside of the

discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate

and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without

actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish

this.

Question 28: What is true of Lake Vostok?

A. It is completely frozen.

B. It is a saltwater lake.

C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice.

D. It is heated by the sun.

Question 29: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it

.

A. was conducted by air

B. made use of radio waves

C. could not determine the lake's exact size

D. was controlled by a satellite

Question 30: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if

.

A. there were no lake underneath

B. the lake were not so big

C. Antarctica were not so cold

D. radio waves were not used

Question 31: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the

following?

A. Pieces of dust

B. Tiny bubbles

C. Tiny organisms

D. Rays of light

Question 32: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it

A. can be studied using radio waves

B. may contain uncontaminated microbes

C. may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D. has already been contaminated

the correct answer to each of the questions from 50 to 59.

Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness and its originality of

perspective. Satire itself, however, rarely offers original ideas. Instead, it presents the familiar in a

new form. Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies. What they do is look at familiar

conditions from a perspective that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful, or affected. Satire

jars us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we

unquestioningly accept are false.

Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd; Brave New World ridicules the pretensions of

science; A Modest Proposal dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas

is original. Chivalry was suspect before Cervantes, humanists objected to the claims of pure

science before Aldous Huxley, and people were aware of famine before Swift.

It was not the originality of the idea that made these satires popular. It was the manner of

expression, the satiric method, that made them interesting and entertaining. Satires are read

because they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are morally wholesome or

ethically instructive. They are stimulating and refreshing because with commonsense briskness

they brush away illusions and secondhand opinions. With spontaneous irreverence, satire

rearranges perspectives, scrambles familiar objects into incongruous juxtaposition, and speaks in a

personal idiom instead of abstract platitude.

Satire exists because there is need for it. It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing

stimulus, an irreverent reminder that

they live in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap

moralizing, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth, though

rarely to any action on behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see,

hear, and read in popular media is sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true. Life 5

resembles in only a slight degree the popular image of it.

Question 35: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Difficulties of writing satiric literature.

B. Popular topics of satire.

C. New philosophies emerging from satiric literature.

D. Reasons for the popularity of satire.

Question 36: Don Quixote, Brave New World, and A Modest Proposal are cited by the author as

.

A. classic satiric works

B. a typical approach to satire

C. best satirists of all times

D. good critiques by satirists

A. ideas are expressed B. ideas are organized C. realistic they are

Question 38: Which of the following can be found in satiric literature?

A. Newly emerging philosophies.

B. Odd combinations of objects and ideas.

C. Abstract discussion of morals and ethics.

D. Wholesome characters who are unselfish.

Question 39: According to the passage, there is a need for satire because people need to be

.

A. informed about new scientific developments

B. exposed to original philosophies when they are formulated

C. reminded that popular ideas may often be inaccurate

D. told how they can be of service to their communities

Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in

society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is the website called

HappyNews. The man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews because he thought

other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world. Reese said about HappyNews,

“The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad news, misery, and despair.

We’re trying to balance out the scale.”

Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a

responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems in

today’s society. Then they are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their daily

lives. Reese said that HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems.

HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.

By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60

percent of those readers were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of the

other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites, HappyNews gets

fan mail from its readers on a daily basis.

Question 30: Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. “Byron Reese Tells People How to Be Happy” B. “Good News for a Change”

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

correct answer to each of the questions.

No sooner had the first intrepid male aviators safely returned to Earth than it seemed that women,

too, had been smitten by an urge to fly. From mere spectators, they became willing passengers and finally

pilots in their own right, plotting their skills and daring line against the hazards of the air and the

skepticism of their male counterparts. In doing so they enlarged the traditional bounds of a women's

world, won for their sex a new sense of competence and achievement, and contributed handsomely to the

progress of aviation.

But recognition of their abilities did not come easily. "Men do not believe us capable." The famed

aviator Amelia Earhart once remarked to a friend. "Because we are women, seldom are we trusted to do an

efficient job." Indeed old attitudes died hard: when Charles Lindbergh visited the Soviet Union in 1938

with his wife, Anne–herself a pilot and gifted proponent of aviation – he was astonished to discover both

men and women flying in the Soviet Air Force.

Such conventional wisdom made it difficult for women to raise money for the up – to – date

equipment they needed to compete on an equal basis with men. Yet they did compete, and often they

triumphed finally despite the odds.

Ruth Law, whose 590 – mile flight from Chicago to Hornell, New York, set a new nonstop distance

record in 1916, exemplified the resourcefulness and grit demanded of any woman who wanted to fly. And

when she addressed the Aero Club of America after completing her historic journey, her plainspoken

wordstestified to a universal human motivation that was unaffected by gender: "My flight was done with

5

no expectation of reward," she declared, "just purely for the love of accomplishment."

A. It had no women pilots. B. It gave pilots handsome salaries.

C. It had old planes that were in need of repair. D. It could not be trusted to do an efficient job.

Question 38: In their efforts to compete with men, early women pilots had difficulty in ______.

Dịch bài đọc:

Chẳng mấy chốc, những phi công nam dũng cảm đầu tiên đã trở về Trái đất một cách an toàn hơn là dường

như phụ nữ cũng đã bị hút bởi một sự thôi thúc muốn bay. Từ những khán giả đơn thuần, họ trở thành

những hành khách sẵn sàng và cuối cùng là phi công theo ý mình, âm mưu kỹ năng và đường lối táo bạo

chống lại những mối nguy hiểm của không khí và sự hoài nghi của các đồng nghiệp nam. Khi làm như vậy,

họ đã mở rộng giới hạn truyền thống của một thế giới phụ nữ, giành cho giới tính của họ một cảm giác mới

về năng lực và thành tích, và đóng góp mạnh mẽ vào sự tiến bộ của ngành hàng không.

Nhưng công nhận khả năng của họ đã không đến dễ dàng. "Đàn ông không tin chúng tôi có khả năng."

Người phi công nổi tiếng Amelia Earhart từng nhận xét với một người bạn. "Bởi vì chúng tôi là phụ nữ,

hiếm khi chúng tôi tin tưởng để làm một công việc hiệu quả." Quả thực thái độ cũ đã chết cứng: khi

Charles

Lindbergh đến thăm Liên Xô năm 1938 cùng với vợ, Anne – bản thân cô là một phi công và người đề

xướng hàng không – anh ta đã rất ngạc nhiên khi phát hiện ra cả đàn ông và phụ nữ bay trong Không quân

Liên Xô.

Sự khôn ngoan thông thường như vậy khiến phụ nữ gặp khó khăn trong việc quyên tiền cho các thiết bị

hiện đại mà họ cần để cạnh tranh trên cơ sở bình đẳng với nam giới. Tuy nhiên, họ đã cạnh tranh, và họ

thường chiến thắng cuối cùng bất chấp tỷ lệ cược.

Ruth Law, có chuyến bay dài 59 dặm từ Chicago đến Hornell, New York, đã tạo ra một khoảng cách

không ngừng nghỉ mới ghi lại vào năm 1916, minh họa cho sự tháo vát và nhu cầu của bất kỳ người phụ nữ

nào muốn bay. Và khi cô nói với Câu lạc bộ Hàng không Mỹ sau khi hoàn thành hành trình lịch sử của

mình, những lời nói suông của cô đã chứng minh cho một động lực phổ quát của con người không bị ảnh

hưởng bởi giới tính: "Chuyến bay của tôi đã được thực hiện mà không mong đợi phần thưởng", cô tuyên

bố, "hoàn toàn chỉ vì tình yêu thành tựu. "

Scientists know that there were wolves on Earth about one million years ago. Dogs, on the other hand, have not been on Earth nearly as long. The oldest dog remains, found in Germany, are about 14,000 years old. Scientists have proven that dogs are descended from wolves. Though wolves and dogs share some of the same genes, they are not exactly alike. In fact, there are as many differences as there are similarities between the two.

First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger feet, and a broader skull than dogs. They also walk differently from dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its heels raised up from the ground. This is more similar to a cat's walk than a dog's.

Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This means that dogs have been brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship. Wolves have not been domesticated. They are wild animals. Having a dog as a pet is like having a juvenile wolf. A young wolf will turn into a mature adult, while a young dog does not mature. A dog might seem smart by performing tricks for people. Wolves need to be smart to survive in the wild. While it may not be impossible to have a wolf as a pet, scientists are of the opinion that a wolf could never be domesticated in the same way as a dog.

It's important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each should

be appreciated in its own habitat or home.

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

Employees in many countries change jobs more often than previous generations of workers. They don't expect to find a job with a company that will take care of them for the rest of their lives. But what is the cause of this trend? Is it a new economy, new ways of doing business, or the employees themselves?

A more globalized economy has had an effect on employment. A large number of companies are now international, and one of them may decide that moving from its offices from Germany to Poland, for example, is in its best interest. That means employees who live and work in Germany may be asked to relocate their families to a new country or be told that their jobs are simply eliminated.

Companies have also responded to economic pressure by restructuring for greater efficiency. This sort of change within a company usually means that unnecessary jobs are cut, or that fewer employees must do more work. In their case, some employees find themselves looking for new jobs.

New technology has also had an impact on workplaces. The increasing use of personal computers has meant fewer jobs for office secretaries, as their former bosses do their own words processing and letter writing, and for travel agents, as more travelers make their own reservations online. Automation, including the use of robotic devices, has replaced workers in clothing factories, post offices, and telephone companies, to name just a few.

Besides these economic and technological reasons, today's employees are also responsible for more frequent job changes. Workers in the past were less likely to leave a company because they were dissatisfied with working conditions or because they didn't get along well with their fellow employees. People today expect to enjoy their work and have personal satisfaction from what they do for a living.

Employees may also leave a job because they have learned all they can learn from their current job. Getting a new job means gaining new skills and making new contracts, and these skills and relationships could bring them a step closer to their “dream job”, the one that is challenging, emotionally and financially rewarding, and preferably closer to home or their children's school. Finally, companies start up and close down more quickly than they once did. Employees who suspect that their employer is not doing well may decide to start looking for a new position before the company closes its doors.

Các nhà khoa học biết rằng khoảng một triệu năm trước đã có những con sói trên Trái đất. Mặt khác, chó gần như không có mặt ở trên Trái đất lâu như vậy. Con chó già nhất còn sót lại được tìm thấy ở Đức, khoảng 14.000 năm tuổi. Các nhà khoa học đã chứng minh rằng chó là hậu duệ của sói. Mặc dù chó sói và chó có chung một số gen, nhưng chúng không hoàn toàn giống nhau. Trong thực tế, có nhiều sự khác biệt và cũng như có nhiều điểm tương đồng giữa hai loài.

Đầu tiên, có sự khác biệt về ngoại hình giữa hai loài. Chó sói có chân dài hơn, bàn chân lớn hơn và hộp sọ rộng hơn chó. Chúng cũng có dáng đi khác với chó. Con sói chạy bằng ngón chân với gót chân nhô lên khỏi mặt đất. Điều này tương tự như việc đi của mèo hơn là của một con chó. Thứ hai, có sự khác biệt về nhận thức giữa hai loài. Chó đã được thuần hóa. Điều này có nghĩa là những con chó đã nuôi dưới sự kiểm soát của con người để tạo ra tình cảm giữa chủ và vật nuôi. Chó sói chưa được thuần hóa. Chúng là động vật hoang dã. Có một con chó làm thú cưng cũng giống như có một con sói con. Một con sói non sẽ biến thành một con trưởng thành, trong khi một con chó nhỏ không trưởng thành. Một con chó có vẻ thông minh bằng cách thực hiện các trò vui cho mọi người. Chó sói cần phải thông minh để sống sót trong tự nhiên. Mặc dù không bao giờ có thể có một con sói làm thú cưng, nhưng các nhà khoa học cho rằng một con sói không bao giờ có thể được thuần hóa giống như một con chó.

Điều quan trọng cần nhớ là sự khác biệt giữa hai loài là rất lớn và mỗi loài nên được đánh giá cao

Nhân viên ở nhiều quốc gia thay đổi công việc thường xuyên hơn so với các thế hệ công nhân trước đây. Họ không mong đợi tìm được một công việc với một công ty sẽ quan tâm họ đến hết cuộc đời. Nhưng nguyên nhân của xu hướng này là gì? Đó có phải là một nền kinh tế mới, cách thức kinh doanh mới, hay chính nhân viên?

Một nền kinh tế toàn cầu hóa mạnh hơn đã có ảnh hưởng đến việc làm. Một số lượng lớn các công ty hiện đang là công ty quốc tế, và ví dụ một trong số chúng có thể quyết định rằng việc chuyển từ các văn phòng của họ từ Đức sang Ba Lan là vì lợi ích tốt nhất của nó. Điều đó có nghĩa là nhân viên sống và làm việc ở Đức có thể được yêu cầu chuyển gia đình sang một quốc gia mới hoặc được thông báo đơn giản là công việc của họ bị loại bỏ.

Các công ty cũng đã xử lý các áp lực kinh tế bằng cách tái cấu trúc để có hiệu quả cao hơn. Loại thay đổi này trong một công ty thường có nghĩa là các công việc không cần thiết bị cắt giảm, hoặc ít nhân viên phải làm nhiều công việc hơn. Trong trường hợp của họ, một số nhân viên thấy mình nên tìm kiếm công việc mới.

Công nghệ mới cũng có tác động đến nơi làm việc. Việc sử dụng máy tính cá nhân ngày càng tăng đồng nghĩa với việc có ít việc làm hơn cho các thư ký văn phòng, vì các ông chủ cũ của họ tự xử lý công việc với từ ngữ và việc viết thư và với các đại lý du lịch khi mà nhiều khách du lịch tự đặt chỗ trực tuyến. Tự động hóa, bao gồm cả việc sử dụng các thiết bị robot, đã thay thế công nhân trong các nhà máy quần áo, bưu điện và các công ty điện thoại, đây là một số ví dụ tiêu biểu.

Bên cạnh những lý do kinh tế và công nghệ, nhân viên ngày nay cũng chịu trách nhiệm cho việc thay đổi việc làm thường xuyên. Công nhân trong quá khứ ít có khả năng rời khỏi một công ty vì họ không hài lòng với điều kiện làm việc hoặc vì họ không hòa hợp với các đồng nghiệp của mình. Mọi người ngày nay mong đợi để tận hưởng công việc của họ và bản thân họ có sự hài lòng từ những gì họ làm để kiếm sống. Nhân viên cũng có thể rời bỏ một công việc vì họ đã học được tất cả những gì họ có thể học được từ công việc hiện tại của họ. Có được một công việc mới có nghĩa là có được những kỹ năng mới và tạo ra những hợp đồng mới, và những kỹ năng và mối quan hệ này có thể giúp họ tiến gần hơn đến công việc

mơ ước của họ, một công việc đầy thách thức về mặt cảm xúc và tài chính, và tốt nhất là gần nhà hoặc trường học của con cái họ.

Cuối cùng, các công ty bắt đầu và đóng cửa nhanh hơn so với trước đây. Những nhân viên nghi ngờ rằng chủ nhân của họ làm việc không tốt có thể quyết định bắt đầu tìm kiếm một vị trí mới trước khi công ty đóng cửa. Question 46.
