Universally acclaimed as America’s greatest playwright, Eugene O’Neill was born in 1888 in the heart of the theater district in New York City. As the son of an actor he had early exposure to the world of the theater. He attended Princeton University briefly in 1906, but returned to New York to work in a variety of jobs before joining the crew of a freighter as a seaman. Upon returning from voyages to South Africa and South America, he was hospitalized for six months to recuperate from tuberculosis. While he was recovering, he determined to write a play about his adventures on the sea. He went to Harvard, where he wrote the oneact Bound East for Cardiff. It was produced on Cape Cod by the Provincetown Players, an experimental theater group that was later to settle in the famous Greenwich Village theater district in New York City. The Players produced several more of his oneacts in the years between 19161920. With the fulllength play Beyond the Horizon, produced on Broadway in 1920, O’Neill’s success was assured. The play won the Pulitzer prize for the best play of the year. O’Neill was to be awarded the prize again in 1922, 1928, and 1957 for Anna Christie, Strange Interlude, and Long Day’s Journey Into Night. Although he didn’t receive the Pulitzer prize for it, Mourning becomes Electra, produced in 1931,is arguably his most lasting contribution to the American theatre. In 1936, he was awarded the Nobel Prize. O’Neill’s plays, fortyfive in all, cover a wide range of dramatic subjects, but several themes emerge, including the ambivalence of family relationships, the struggle between the sexes, the conflict between spiritual and material desires, and the vision of modern man as a victim of uncontrollable circumstances. Most of O’Neill’s characters are seeking for meaning in their lives. According to his biographers, most of the characters were portraits of himself and his family. In a sense, his work chronicled his life.

Agents are employed by real estate agencies that sell or rent property as well as manage, appraise, or develop Ôn Thi THPT Quốc Gia 2015 Trang 2
real estate. Some agencies combine their real estate business with an insurance agency or law practice. Most real estate agents sell private homes. Some specialize in commercial property such as factories, apartment buildings, stores and office buildings. Others specialize in undeveloped land sites for commercial or residential use or go into agricultural real estate. Real estate agents work from a file of listings of property that is for sale or rent. A listing is an agreement, usually in the form of a contract, between the owners of the property and the agent. The owners agree to pay the agent a percentage of the selling price. Real estate agents obtain new listings for their agency by locating property owners interested in selling. For example, they may call home owners who are trying to visit newly listed properties so that they can familiarize themselves with the features of the property before bringing prospective buyers to see it. In any sale, the agents have to negotiate with both the seller and the buyers. Many sellers begin by asking more for their property than buyers are willing to pay for it. Agents must be able to convince sellers to set a realistic price. Most of the agents’ efforts focus on the buyers, however. Agents try to learn what will motivate the buyer to make a purchase. Agents must be able to convince them that the property suits their needs and is a good buy. Buyers generally offer less for a property than the seller asks. Agents help to negotiate the final price. They usually help buyers arrange bank loans and are generally present at closings, when final contracts of sale are signed. Real estate agents spend a great deal of time on the telephone, locating property that is for sale and negotiating with clients and property owners. They also spend time in the field checking out new property and showing real estate to prospective buyers. Most agents work nights and weekends in order to arrange meetings that are convenient to buyers and sellers. Real estate agents can be fairly independent in their work and can feel the satisfaction of finding the right property for the right buyer.

A. write about B. approve of C. concentrate on D. refer to Question 30:A listing is a contract between property owners and real estate agents in which the owners _. A. try to sell their houses privately. B. agree to pay the agent a percentage of the selling price. C. obtain new listings for their property. D. arrange to meet with the agent at a convenient time.

Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration. While this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building's history. As a result of this new restoration, Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound Line 3 that it had when it was first built. Carnegie Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in the late 1800s. The hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall Line 7 where accomplished musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, however, the concert hall suffered from several detrimental renovations over the years. During the Great Depression, when fewer people could afford to attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses. As a result, a coffee shop was opened Line 10 in one corner of the building, for which the builders replaced the brick and terra cotta walls with windowpanes. A renovation in 1946 seriously damaged the acoustical quality of the hall when the makers of the film Carnegie Hall cut a gaping hole in the dome of the ceiling to allow for lights and air vents. The hole was later Line 14 covered with short curtains and a fake ceiling, but the hall never sounded the same afterwards. In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stern became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real estate developers unveiled plans to demolish Line 17 Carnegie Hall and build a highrise office building on the site. This threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New York to buy the property. The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city. In the current restoration, builders tested each new material for it Line21 sound qualities, and they replaced the hole in the ceiling with a dome. The builders also restored the outer walls to their original appearance and closed the coffee shop. Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never looked more promising. Question 33: This passage is mainly about ……………… A. changes to Carnegie Hall B. the appearance of Carnegie Hall C. Carnegie Hall's history during the Great Depression D. damage to the ceiling in Carnegie Hall Question 34: In line 8, what is the meaning of the word "detrimental"? A. dangerous B. significant C. extreme D. harmful Ôn Thi THPT Quốc Gia 2015 Trang 8
Question 35: What major change happened to the hall in 1946? A. The acoustic dome was damaged. B. Space in the building was sold to commercial businesses. C. The walls were damaged in an earthquake. D. The stage was renovated. Question 36: Who was Andrew Carnegie? A. a violinist B. an architect C. a steel mill owner D. mayor of New York City Question 37: Which of the following words could best replace the word "gaping" in line 13? A. small B. round C. vital D. wide Question 38: What was Isaac Stern's relationship to Carnegie Hall? A. He made the movie "Carnegie Hall" in 1946. B. He performed on opening night in 1891. C. He tried to save the hall, beginning in 1960. D. He opened a coffee shop in Carnegie Hall during the Depression. Question 39: What was probably the most important aspect of the recent renovation? A. restoring the outer wall B. expanding the lobby C. restoring the plaster trim D. repairing the ceiling Question 40: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "unveiled" in line 17? A. announced B. restricted C. overshadowed D. located Question 41: How does the author seem to feel about the future of Carnegie Hall? A. ambiguous B. guarded C. optimistic D. negative Question 42: Which of the following would most likely be the topic of the next paragraph? A. a scientific explanation of acoustics and the nature of sound B. a description of people's reactions to the newly renovated hall C. a discussion of the coffee shop that once was located in the building D. further discussion about the activities of Isaac Stern in 1960 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 question s from 43 to 52. About 200 million years ago, as the Triassic Period came to a close, many species of animals disappeared from the face of the Earth. Scientists previously believed that the series of extinctions happened over a period of 15 to 20 million years. Recent discoveries in Nova Scotia Line 3 suggest, however, that the extinctions may have happened over a much shorter period of time, perhaps less than 850,000 years. Evidence for a rapid extinction of species at the end of the Triassic Period is found in the McCoy Brook Formation along the Bay of Fundy Line 7 in Nova Scotia. Fossils found in this formation indicate a rapid disappearance of species rather than a slow and gradual change over time. One explanation for a relatively sudden extinction at the end of the Triassic may be that a large meteorite struck the earth at the time and is responsible for a 70 kilometer hole nearby. If geologists Line 11 and other researchers can find evidence, such as shocked quartz in the rock formations, that a meteorite did strike the earth, it would give more credence to the theory of rapid Triassic extinctions. It is possible, however, that even if a rapid extinction happened in and around Nova Scotia, it did not necessarily occur in the rest Line 14 of the world. Question 43: What is the main topic of this passage? A. the disappearance of animal species at the end of the Triassic Period B. evidence of a relatively sudden extinction of species C. the possibility of an extinction happening simultaneously throughout the world D. a meteorite hole in the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia Question 44: The author uses the phrase "the face of the Earth" in line 2 in order to ………… A. emphasize the disappearance B. focus on one part of the Earth C. focus on one period of time D. point out the reference to land, not water Question 45: All of the following were mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ……………… A. the extinction of late Triassic animals B. the duration of time for the extinction C. a large meteorite hitting the Earth 10 million years ago Ôn Thi THPT Quốc Gia 2015 Trang 9
D. the use of types of rock in scientific research Question 46: Where in the passage does the author give evidence for the argument? A. Lines 14 B. Lines 610 C. Lines 1113 D. Lines 1214 Question 47: According to the passage, what would give evidence that a meteorite struck the earth? A. a gradual change in species over time B. a change in the quartz C. gold deposits in the veins of rocks D. a change in the waters of the Bay of Fundy Question 48: Which of the following could best replace the word "struck" as used in line 10? A. affected B. discovered C. devastated D. hit Question 49: Which of the following is most probably the meaning of "shocked quartz" in line 11?

Topic: Which is more important, knowledge from books or experiences from life?(1,5) Sample We gain our knowledge about the world and our life from two sources: from experience and from books. These two resources are both important, but which of them is more important? Knowledge from books forms a very important part of our knowledge structure. In schools and colleges, we learn knowledge which is fundamental to our future career. We learn knowledge from books in order to make our contributions to this society in the future. A student learns mathematic equations and other scientific knowledge and become a scientist or engineer. We will be illiterate and ignorant without learning knowledge from books. Moreover, we acquire knowledge about life and the world by reading books, magazines and newspapers. This is also very important as we cannot experience everything all by ourselves. Therefore books are a very important source of knowledge. On the other hand, we can't learn everything from a book. “Experience is the best teacher” is an old cliché, but I agree with it. The most important, and sometimes the hardest, lessons we learn in life come from our participation in situations. We learn how to get along with others or how to have selfrespect from our experience, not from books. We cannot learn emotional feelings, such as love and care, through books; they come from our real life experience. Knowledge from experience is also a very important supplement to knowledge from books. Needless to say both learning sources, books and experience, are very important to us. But in my opinion knowledge from experience is more important, because without knowledge from experience, it is impossible to get a real understanding of knowledge from books, and how to apply this knowledge to real world situations.

Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods. These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid. The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts. These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture. Ôn Thi THPT Quốc Gia 2015 Trang 14
It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by socalled greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet. Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries. Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997. There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions. It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create socalled sinks to absorb greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation. Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering. Question 67: According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice ages differ from the modern ones? A. They occurred naturally over a long period of time B. They were partly intended. C. They were wholly the result of human activity. D. They were fully monitored by humans. Question 68: The word “alarmingly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.

A. the largest number of summits on the subject of climate change B. the most important summit on climate change taking place in Kyoto, Japan C. the highest attendance by representatives from 180 industrialised countries D. widespread concern about climate change Question 72: It can be inferred from the passage that the countries which are mainly responsible for global warming are ____.

Read the passage and choose the best answer (A or B, C, D) from 34 to 43 Before the midnineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage. Bui in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cookingand sealing process of canning. And in 1850's an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860's, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that massproduced cans from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year. Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing urban populations created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable fanners to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890's, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. An easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870's, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920's and 1930's. Ôn Thi THPT Quốc Gia 2015 Trang 19
