(5 điểm) Em hãy đọc đoạn văn sau rồi chọn một đáp án đúng cho mỗi câu hỏi phía dưới bằng cách khoanh tròn chữ cái A, B, C hoặc D. Walt Whitman, born in New York in 1819, was one of America’s unusual literary figures. An individualist, he rambled through the country seeing people and places, and making them his own. His experiences in earning a living were varied: at times he was a printer, a teacher, a carpenter, a nurse and a newspaper editor. He was a big-hearted man, open and accepting. He spent a lot of his time caring for the wounded during the Civil War. Though he lived in the city, he often spent time in the country, developing his strong sense of nature, which carried through his poems. In 1855, he collected the verses he had written, and published them in one thin volume, “Leaves of Grass”, a book which he revised and was generally ignored by other poets, probably because his verse forms were not traditional. He had felt that it was necessary to achieve a new poetic form in order to communicate his views. His reputation didn’t grow until after his death, and it reached a high point in the 1920s. Since then, Whitman’s style has greatly influenced modern poets. 66. The best title for this passage is ……............ A. Leaves of Grass B. A Country Man 3

It is fuelled by thermonuclear reactions near its centre that convert hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about 4 billion, 600 million years, and is thousands of times larger than the Earth. By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About 5 million years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the centre will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles about distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too hot for life to exist. Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf. After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all it fuel and will have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen onto the Earth’s surface. 1. What is the primary purpose of this passage? A. To alert people to the dangers posed by the Sun B. To discuss conditions on Earth in the far future C. To present a theory about red giant stars D.

What will probably be the first stage of change as the Sun becomes a red giant? A. Its core will cool off and use less fuel B. Its surface will become hotter and shrink C. It will throw off huge amounts gases. D. Its centre will grow smaller and hotter 6. When the Sun becomes a red giant, what will conditions be like on Earth? 4
