Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question:
NUCLEAR FAMILY
The traditional definition of a nuclear family is a family unit that includes two married
parents of opposite genders and their biological or adopted children living in the same residence. However, the term “nuclear family” can mean several different things in today’s society. Understanding the classic roles in this type of family and how it is defined can help you understand the relationships in your own family, whether it’s nuclear or not. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the term “nuclear family” was first used in
1947, but the concept of a family that consists of just parents and children is much older. This basic unit of a family’s structure has existed for millennia, but it wasn’t until the 1960s and 1970s that the nuclear family became the majority situation. At that time, industrial economic booms and rising wages made it possible for young parents to afford their own homes without living with extended family members. At the same time, better healthcare contributed to the nuclear family, as elderly members became more self-sufficient and independent for decades after their children were grown.
Today, the era of the nuclear family is often glamorized, complete with mom in the kitchen, dad out earning the paychecks, and the kids building a tree house or hosting a stuffed animal tea party. In reality, there is no ideal type of family, and today’s definition of a nuclear family can greatly differ from that it was a few decades ago. 21. Nuclear family is ______. A. a family that includes not only parents and children but also other relatives. B. a family that includes only the father, mother, and children. C. a family that includes a person’s parents, spouse, children and siblings. D. a family that includes children from a previous marriage of the wife, husband, or both parents. 22. When was the term “nuclear family” officially used? C. in 1970 B. in 1960 A. in 1947 D. until the 1960- 1970
B. 500 years C. about 10000 years D. about 1000 years
23. The word “millennia” in paragraph 2 means ______. A. 200 years 24. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true? A. The children should take care of their elderly members after they are grown. B. The nuclear family didn’t become the majority situation until the 1960s and 1970s. C. Understanding the roles in nuclear family helps you understand the relationships in your family.

C. looking D. listening B. discussing
B. the other person’s health
My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party where she doesn’t know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces herself. And yet she doesn’t seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or religions. She always starts off with something very obvious like the other person’s job. Very soon she is talking as if she has known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it’s very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to listen carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don’t keep looking at other things in the room while you’re talking to someone. Another thing that I’ve noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like your hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on holiday?” Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation. 26.

Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question: In 1988, for the first time in British history, a National Curriculum was introduced. The National Curriculum tells pupils which subjects they have to study, what they must learn and when they have to take assessment tests. Between the age of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams. Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for GCSE, as well as a half GCSE in a foreign language and Technology. In addition, they must also be taught Physical Education, Religious Education and Sex Education, although they do not take exams in these subjects. At the age of 16, pupils can leave school. If pupils stay on, they usually take A (Advanced) levels, AS (Advanced Supplementary) levels or GNVQs (Greater National Vocational Qualifications). It is quite common to combine, for example, two A levels with one AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ. Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as France, Physics or History. To go to university, pupils usually need two or three A levels. AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level German pupils take the A level German language exam, but do not take the A level German Literature exam. GNVQs are vocational qualifications. Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such as Business, Leisure and Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design. One GNVQ (at advanced level) is equal to two A levels. 26. Britain began to have a National Curriculum _____________.

Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question: Last week I went to visit Atlantis College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the world, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers. One of the great things about Atlantics College students is that they come from many different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available. A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government help. “I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young people”, as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. “You learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don’t like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn’t believe how much less I argued with my sister.” To sum up, Atlantics College gives its students an excellent education, using method which really seem to work. 31. What is the writer trying to do in the text? A. give an opinion about a particular student. B. give an opinion about a special type of education C. describe the activities the students do in their free time. D. describe his own experience of education 32. What can a reader find out from this text? A. how to become a student at Atlantics College B. what kind of programme Atlantics College offers C. what the British education system is like D. how to get along better with other people 33. What is the writer’s opinion of Atlantics College? A. it doesn’t allow students enough study time. B. Its students are taught to like each other. C. it doesn’t give good value for money. D. its way of teaching is successful. 34. How has Barbara changed since being a student at Atlantics College? A. She knows a lot about other countries B. She is more confident than her sister now. C. She finds it easy to get on with other people. D. She prefers her new friends to her family. 35. The word “argued” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.

The relationship between students and teachers is _________ (41) formal in the USA than in many other countries, especially at the college level. American college students do not stand up when their teacher enters the room.

When the teacher or a student is speaking to the class, it is rude to begin whispering ___________ (44) another classmate.

Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait for another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each month.
40
But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out the mortgage, or obtain credit cards. He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive.
David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year later leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. “I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but actually that’s being pessimistic. I hope it will come to more than that this year.” He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But most his spare time is spent working.
B. he is not unemployed D. he lives at home with his parent.
D. learning to drive
B. he had written some computer programs D. he had learnt to use computers at school
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew that I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.” 31. Why is David different from other young people at his age? A. he earns an extremely high salary. C. he doesn’t go out much 32. David’s greatest problem is __________. A. making the banks treat him as an adult B. inventing computer games C. spending his salary 33. He was employed by the company because____________. A. he had worked in a computer shop C. he works very hard 34. He left school after taking O-levels because ___________. A. he didn’t enjoy school B. he wanted to work with computers and staying at school didn’t help him. C. he was afraid of getting too old to start computing D. he wanted to earn a lot of money 35. Why does David think he might retire early?
A. you have to be young to write computer programs. B. he wants to stop working when he is a millionaire. C. he thinks computer games might not always sell so well. D. he thinks his firm might go bankrupt.
V. Choose the underlined part in each sentence that should be corrected 36. This year (A), that (B) is for the first time, the event is open to (C) all amateur athletes along with (D) the traditional professional. 37. They work (A) in (B) a hospital sponsoring (C) by (D) the government. 38. Do you get on (A) with the person (B) whom (C) lives next door (D)? 39.

He usually lives in Madrid and works ___________ (41) a journalist for a Spanish newspaper, but two years ago he decided to take a year _________ (42) work to live in different countries in Europe and write a book about Europeans.

One of the greatest advantages of robots is that they can work in situations that are dangerous or harmful for human workers. For example, the continuous smell of paint has a harmful effect on painters, but it doesn't "bother" a robot. Robots can work in nuclear power plants and in undersea research stations that might be dangerous for humans. Already, robots are working in the plastics industry and in chemical and industrial equipment industries. One of the most common uses of robots is still in automobile factories. They can do the heavy, unpleasant, or dangerous work. These kinds of industrial robots are not usually "mobile". The work they need to do is brought to them, like cars on an assembly line, for example.
The robot industry is a big business. By the middle of the 1990s, Japan' led the world in robot production with more than 71,000 industrial robots at work. Both the United States and Japan, as well as other countries, continue to develop more advanced robots. Robots can now be made to perform more complex jobs. Robots can make decisions while they are working and learn from their mistakes. Robots can now see with TV camera "eyes." They can easily hear and can even speak using a voice made by a computer. But it is difficult to make a robot "understand." Thinking. and understanding are very human qualities. The robots of the future will probably be very complex. They will be able to perform many humanlike tasks. Robots and other technology will make the future a very interesting place!

II. GRAMMAR
INTRANSITIVE VERBS & TRANSITIVE VERBS
Tự/Nội Động từ & Tha/Ngoại Động từ
"Intransitive verbs" là những tự/nội động từ, không có túc từ/tân ngữ theo sau.
"Transitive verbs" là những tha/ngoại động từ, cần có túc từ/tân ngữ theo sau.
1. Intransitive Verbs: Subject + Verb
Nếu một hành động chỉ liên quan đến một người hay một vật, hay nói cách khác chủ từ thực hiện hành động đó. Những động từ mô tả hành động này được gọi là các tự/nội động từ (intransitive verbs) - đứng độc lập, câu vẫn đầy đủ nghĩa:
Eg : I waited and waited, but nobody came.
=> Chủ từ của mệnh đề chính "I" thực hiện hành động "waited"
=> Chủ từ của mệnh đề phụ "nobody" thực hiện hành động "came".
As the boy arrived, the girls departed.
The wind subsided, the sun came out and the water receded.
My shares have collapsed, so I'm going to have to economise.
His whole body was aching and his medical condition was deteriorating.
Lưu ý: Tự/Nội động từ có thể có một cụm giới từ hay một trạng từ/cụm trạng từ theo sau để cung cấp thêm thông tin về hành động đó: xảy ra khi nào, ở đâu, thế nào...
Eg : She wept bitterly on hearing this news. (How?)
I arrived at the station at a quarter past three. (Where and When?)
Ketie was standing in the corner and Justin was lying on the bed. (Where?)
It happened yesterday. Vicky behaved quite unacceptably.
2. Transitive Verbs: Subject + Verb + Object
Tha/Ngoại động từ không chỉ liên quan đến chủ từ, mà còn liên quan đến người nào khác hay vật/sự việc... gì khác nữa, người/vật/sự việc... khác này được gọi là túc từ (hay tân ngữ) - the OBJECT- nếu không có túc từ/tân ngữ, chỉ riêng các động từ này thôi thì câu không đủ nghĩa.
VD: She has many friends, but (she) admires Victoria most.
=> "have" (Who?) => many friends (object) (không thể nói "She has.")
=> "admises" (Whom?) => Victoria (object) (Không thể nói "(she) admires.")
"Blue suits you," she said.
=> "suits" (whom?) => you (object)
He could hardly raise the injured arm at all.
70
=> "raise" (what?) => the injured arm (object)
Một số tha/ngoại động từ có hai túc từ/tân ngữ, đó lá túc từ gián tiếp (indirect object) được một túc từ trực tiếp theo sau (direct object) hoặc ngược lại (phải dùng giới từ trước túc từ gián tiếp).
Eg : She brought me my breakfast.
=> me: indirect object
=> my breakfast: direct object.
= She brought my breakfast for me.
He promised me a job.
=> me: indirect object
=> a job: direct object
= He promised a job to me.
I lent my younger sister all the money.
=> my younger sister: indirect object
=> all the money: direct object
= I lent all the money to my younger sister.
3. Intransitive or transitive:
Nhiều động từ có thể vừa là tự/nội động từ, vừa là tha/ngoại động từ. Và túc từ thường được hiểu ngầm giữa người nói và người nghe. Nhưng đôi khi cũng cần được thêm vào để làm rõ nghĩa.
I asked him to come in, but he did not enter (intransitive). He did not enter the room (transitive).
When he entered the room, she was reading (intransitive). She was reading a book about Buddhism (transitive).
He sat down at the computer and started to type (intransitive). He started to type an email to his half sister (transitive).
=> Trong những ví dụ trên, nghĩa của các ĐỘNG TỪ không thay đổi khi được dùng như một tự động từ
The bull was chasing him so he ran as quickly as he could. (intransitive)
Sue's been running a mail-order business for ten years. (transitive)
"Do you want any help?" "No thanks. I can manage perfetly well on my own." (intransitive)
He had been managing the buisness for six years before it made a profit. (transitive)
I was out when she called. (intransitive)
She called me a cheat and a liar. (transitive)
71
=> Trong những ví dụ trên, nghĩa của các ĐỘNG TỪ thay đổi khi được dùng như một tự động từ (intransitive) hay một tha động từ (transitive).

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural areas. Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man's areas such as business, scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming power than men. The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success has become popular in Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their social careers and obtain success, contributing to national socio- economic development. According to Ms. Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender/and Development Research Centre under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender equity in Vietnam has reached a high level over the past decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members from the 9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese women in authority to 27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the level of literacy and schooling between men and women. Women account for about 37% of university and college graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders and 6.7% of professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete legal documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on "gender equity" mark a turning-point in the empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their great importance in modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women's duties. Many projects on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by various mass organizations, state agencies and non-governmental organizations have created favorable conditions for women to become involved. 1. The text is about ……………………….
A. the changes in the status of Vietnamese women B. the Vietnamese women's liberation C. the Vietnamese sex discrimination D. the discrimination that Vietnamese women have to face 2. Which adjective is not used to describe Vietnamese women? A. successful B. creative C. narrow D. dynamic 3. According to the data in the text, ……………….
A. Vietnamese women do not take part in authority B. the level of literacy and schooling between men and women in Vietnam is the same C. there are more women in authority in Vietnam than those in any other countries in Southeast Asia . D. there are no female professors in Vietnam 4. Vietnamese women …………………...
A. have few opportunities to develop their intellectual ability B. have only shined brightly in doing housework C. cannot do any scientific research D. are ensured their rights with laws, conventions and national action plans 5. Which is not mentioned in the text as a project to create condition for Vietnamese women?
A. Traditional women's duties C. Children protection B. Reproductive health care D. Family income improvement

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
On 8 August 1967, five leaders - the Foreign Ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand- sat down together in the main hall of the Department of Foreign Affairs building in Bangkok, Thailand and signed a document. By virtue of that document, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was born. The five Foreign Ministers who signed it have been considered as the founders of probably the most successful intergovernmental organization in the developing world today. The document that they signed would be known as the ASEAN Declaration.
It is a short, simply-worded document containing just five articles. It declares the establishment of an Association for Regional Cooperation among the Countries of Southeast Asia to be known as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and spells out the aims and purposes of that Association. These aims and purposes are about the cooperation in economy, society, culture, techniques, education and other fields, and in the promotion of regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the principles of the United Nations Charter. It stipulates that the Association will be open for participation by all States in the Southeast Asian region subscribing to its aims, principles and purposes. It proclaims ASEAN as representing the collective will of the nations of Southeast Asia to bind themselves together in friendship and cooperation and, through joint efforts and sacrifices, secure for their peoples and for posterity the blessings of peace, freedom and prosperity. The goal of ASEAN, then, is to create, not to destroy. The original ASEAN logo presented five brown sheaves of rice stalks, one for each founding member. Beneath the sheaves is the legend "ASEAN" in blue. These are set on a field of yellow encircled by a blue border. Brown stands for strength and stability, yellow for prosperity and blue for the spirit of cordiality in which ASEAN affairs are conducted. When ASEAN celebrated its 30th Anniversary in 1997, the sheaves on the logo had increased to ten -representing all ten countries of Southeast Asia and reflecting the colors of the flags of all of them. In a very real sense, ASEAN and Southeast Asia will be one and the same, just as the founders had envisioned. 1. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations …………………..
A. consists of some Western nations B. was established by the Philippines C. was founded on 8 August 1967 D. was established by the Minister of the Department of Foreign Affairs of Thailand 2. The pronoun it in the first paragraph refers to ………………...
A. the Association of Southeast Asian Nations B. the most successful inter-governmental organization C. Bangkok D. the ASEAN Declaration
3. Which adjective can be used to describe the Association of Southeast Asian Nations? A. successful B. illegal C. nongovernmental D. developing
4. Which does not belong to the purpose and aim of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations? A. friendship B. destruction C. creation D. cooperation 5. Up to 1997 how many countries there have been in ASEAN? A. 5 B. 6 C. 8 D. 10
