II- Reading: Read the passage, then answer the questions below.
I’m interested in sports, especially athletics, and I run seven or eight kilometres every day. I
particularly enjoy cross country running, where you have to run across fields, jump over
streams and so on. While I’m running I think about all sorts of things, and at the end of a run
I’m sometimes surprised to find that I’ve managed to solve a problem that was on my mind.
Next year, I’m going to try the London Marathon. It’s hard race 26 miles, or 42 kilometres-
and you have to be tough (bÒn bØ) to finish, but I very much want to do it. I worry a bit
about getting too old, and I’d like to prove to myself that I’m still almost as fit as I was
twenty years old.
I’m interested in mountaineering s well as running. I’ll never become an except climber, but I
know what I’m doing in the mountains. I successfully completed a course in snow and ice
climbing when I was younger; and I’ve done a series of easy climbs in the Alps during the
last few years. My wife doesn’t share my interest in mountains. She agreed to go climbing
with me once, but she found that she felt ill as soon as she got above 1,000 metres.

(Nghe và điền vào chỗ trống một từ thích hợp)
There is now increasing concern about the world’s energy resources, particularly
about those involving fossil fuels. In less than a hundred years we shall probably
exhaust all the present sources of oil and gas. The world’s coal reserves should last
longer but, once used, these cannot be renewed. It is important, therefore, that we
should develop such alternative sources of energy as solar energy and nuclear energy
as well as water and wind power ( classed as renewable energy). Until these energy
supplies are widely used, is it important for the developed countries to reduce energy
consumption as much as possible.
II- READING (2.5p) Read the passage, then answer the following questions:
(Đọc đoạn văn sau đó trả lời các câu hỏi)
Alfred Nobel was born on O
ctober 21, 1833 in Sweden. His important invention was
dynamite - a power explosive. This dynamite business made him a very rich man.
One day, Alfred Nobel read about his death in a newspaper. In fact, it was his
brother's death. The reporter called him a
salesman of death, 'The Dynamite King'.
Nobel was very upset. He had invented dynamite to save lives-
lives that were lost
because other explosives were dangerous to use. He hated violence and war. And he
did not like the world to think of him as a man of war.
He thought of the best way for people to use his fortune for years. Finally he knew
what to do with his fortune. Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prize, an annual
award to honor leaders of science, literature, and world peace.
Alfred Nobel died on De
cember 10, 1896. He was unmarried and had no children.
His important decision changed the way the world thought of him. He was
remembered the way he wanted: Alfred Nobel, man of peace.
