UNIT 7: ECONOMIC REFORMS Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Vietnam is a densely-populated, developing country that in the last 30 years has had to recover from the ravages of war. Substantial progress was achieved from1986 to 1997 in moving forward from an extremely low level of development and significantly reducing poverty. Since 2001, Vietnamese authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to economic liberalization and international integration. They have moved to implement the structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to produce more competitive, export-driven industries. . Vietnam's membership in the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and entry into force of the US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement in December 2001. have led to even more rapid changes in Vietnam's trade and economic regime. Vietnam's exports to the US doubled in 2002 and again in 2003. Vietnam joined the WTO (World Trade Organization) in January 2007, following over a decade long negotiation process. This should provide ail important boost to the economy and should help to ensure the continuation of liberalizing reforms. Vietnam is working to create jobs to meet the challenge of a labor force that is growing by more than one million people every year. Vietnamese authorities have tightened monetary and fiscal policies to stem high inflation. Hanoi is targeting an economic growth rate of 7.5-8% during the next five years. 1. Vietnam's economy is _______. a. decreasing b. facing crisis c. developing d. backward 2. According to the text, Vietnam _______. a. used to be well-developed before 1986 b. Vietnam is still in extreme poverty c. could recover from the consequences of the war soon d. has been modernizing the economy
3. Vietnam _______. a. does not export anything to the US b. exported to the US in 2003 twice as much goods as in 2002 c. did not export goods to the US in 2002 d. did not export goods to the US in 2003 4. The word This in the fourth paragraph,second sentence, refers to _______. a. Vietnam's joining the WTO b. the WTO c. the negotiating process d. the Vietnamese economy 5. The word stem has a close meaning to _______. a. succeed b. stop c. originate d. invrease UNIT 8 : LIFE IN THE FUTURE Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. In the future, genetic engineering will allow us to create the perfect human. It will be hard to get used to. Parents will order a baby who 'will grow up to become
his new job because he is not quite prepared a genius or to have a Miss World appearance. Also, genetic engineering will allow us to mix plants and animals. As computers have advanced, they have helped us remember, calculate, organize, and clarify. So it will become easier to deal with things, and much quicker. At a point in a future time, some may claim that computers become about as smart as Newton or Einstein. More advanced computers will be able to be creative, respond to feelings in a feeling way, develop intuition, recognize patterns, and suggest innovative alternatives. There is a hope if we choose to take action. We can select Internet information wisely, choose healthy computer games, limit our exposure to television commercials, and select television programs carefully. People will be aware of the importance of keeping active, getting outside to do more physical activities. We will also plan to make a major sacrifice the next time we buy a car, take the bus. Everybody will be more concerned about making environmentally friendly choices, eating healthy, and helping build a healthier society by shopping at better stores that sell better food. Most people will be aware that a happy, loving family is a joy to be part of, and that it is a necessary foundation for building a strong society. But it is extremely important for our future that we maintain a healthy perspective. We need to value and appreciate the importance of what can be achieved by loving and committed parents. People need a strong foundation, so it is vital for our society that we encourage parents to work at creating love, joy, and happiness for their children in a .decent, stable, and productive atmosphere. 1. How many aspects of life in the future are referred in the text? a. One b. Two c. Three d. Four 2. Which aspect is not referred in the text? a. Education b. Genetic Engineering c. Computers d. Family

According to the text, in the future, _______. a. it will be difficult for us to select Internet information b. people will prefer taking a bus to buying a car c. food will not be sold at shops d. TV viewers will not be able to escape from seeing a lot of advertising. 5. The last paragraph is about _______. a. family and parents' responsibility in the future b. children's education c. children's health d. how to build a strong society UNIT 9: DESERTS A/ Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. A desert is a hostile, potentially deadly environment for unprepared humans. In hot deserts, high temperatures cause rapid loss of water due to sweating, and the absence of water sources with which to replenish it can result in dehydration and death within a few days. In addition, unprotected humans are also at risk from heatstroke.
Humans may also have to adapt to sandstorms in some deserts, not just in their adverse effects on respiratory systems and eyes, but also in their potentially harmful effects on equipment such as filters, vehicles and communication equipment. Sandstorms can last for hours, sometimes even days. Despite this, some cultures have made hot deserts 'their home for thousands of years, including the Bedouin, Tuareg tribe, and Pueblo people. Modern technology, including advanced irrigation systems, desalinization and air conditioning, has made deserts much more hospitable, In the United States and Israel for example, desert farming has found extensive use. In cold deserts, hypothermia and frostbite are the chief hazards, as well as dehydration in the absence of a source of heat to melt ice for drinking. Falling through pack-ice or surface ice layers into freezing water is a particular danger requiring emergency action to prevent rapid hypothermia. Starvatio n is also a hazard; in low temperatures the body requires much more food energy to maintain body heat and to move. As with hot deserts, some people such as the Inuit have adapted to the harsh conditions of cold deserts. 1. The text is about ________. a. troubles that human beings have to face in a desert b. desert storms and desert inhabitants c. hot deserts and cold deserts in the United States d. desert hospitality and environment 2. Which is not a problem for an unprepared man in a hot desert? a. sandstorm b. loss of water c. irrigation d. heatstroke 3. Sandstorms ________. a. do no harm to machinery b. have effects only on the eyes c. never lasts more than one hour d. have bad effects on both human beings and machinery 4. Which sentence is true?
a. No one can survive in both hot and cold deserts. b. Modern technology makes deserts more hospitable. c. In the United States, all deserts are quite uninhabited. d. There are no deserts in Israel. 5. Which is not a problem in cold deserts? a. Starvation b. Hypothermia c. Frostbite d. Body heat UNIT 9: DESERTS B/ Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. Approximately one-third of the Earth's land surface is desert, arid land with meager rainfall that supports only sparse vegetation and a limited popu lation of people and animals. Deserts have been portrayed as fascinating environments of adventure and exploration. These arid regions are called deserts because they are dry. They may be hot. They may be cold. They may be regions of sand or vast areas of rocks with occasional plants. Deserts are natural laboratories in which to study the interactions of wind and sometimes water on the arid surfaces of planets. They contain valuable mineral deposits that were formed in the arid environment or that were expo sed by erosion. Because deserts are dry, they are ideal places for human artifacts and fossils to be preserved. Deserts are also fragile environments. The misuse of these lands is a serious and growing problem in parts of our world. There are many animals in the desert. Some are very large, like the kangaroo or the gazelle. Both are big and have to travel long distances for water at a spring, or an oasis. Another fairly large animal is the addax. The addax is a desert antelope. They live in the Sahara Desert. All addaxes are herbivores. There are less than 200 of them left because of hunting and tourists. Some animals crawl along. Examples of these are snakes and lizards. Snakes rarely drink water; they get their moisture from other prey that they eat. So do others, like the kangaroo rat.
Lizards are commonly found in the desert. They stay out of the sun and move as little as possible. There are also other animals in the desert. The fennec lives in northern Africa in the Sahara Desert. They are a relative of the fox. They eat mice, small birds, lizards, and insects. When necessary, they will eat fruit. One more desert animal is the jerboa. The jerboa is a small, long distance jumper that lives in the desert. They are free drinking animals and they eat plants, seeds, and bugs. 1. Deserts ________. a. are rare in the world b. are more arid more populous c. are all hot all the time d. may be both hot and cold 2. The word They refers to ________. a. deserts b. natural laboratories c. planets d. mineral deposits 3. Which is not true about deserts? a. arid b. hot c. humid d. dry 4. According to the second paragraph, ________. a. we should use desert land properly to avoid serious problems b. we can exploit as much fossil as possible in deserts c. there are no erosion in deserts d. deserts are ideal places for growing land 5. The last paragraph expresses that ________. a. none of animals can survive in deserts b. hunting and tourists cause the decreasing of addaxes in the Sahara Desert. c. snakes in deserts need more water than any other species d. addaxes are the most populous species in deserts UNIT 10: ENDANGERED SPECIES A/ Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Species that belong to an area are said to be native species. Typically, they have been part of a given biological landscape for a long period, and they are well adapted to the local environment and to the presence of other native species in the same general habitat. Exotic species are interlopers, foreign elements introduced intentionally or accidentally into new settings through human activities. In one context an introduced species may cause no obvious problems and may, over time, be regarded as being just as "natural" as any native species in the same habitat. In another context, exotics may seriously disrupt delicate ecological balances and create a cascade of unintended consequences. The worst of these unintended consequences arise when introduced species put native species in destruction by preying on them, altering their habitats, or out-competing them in the struggle for food resources. Although biological introductions have affected environments the world over, the most destructive, effects have occurred on islands, where introduced insects, cats, pigs, rats, mongooses, and oth er nonnative species have caused the grave endangerment or outright extinction of literally hundreds of species during the past 500 years. One of other reason to cause species extinction is overexploitation. This word refers to the utilization of a species at a rate that is likely to cause its extreme endangerment or outright extinction. Among many examples of severe overexploitation, the case of the great whales stands out in special relief. By the middle of the 20th century, unrestricted whaling had brought many species of whales to incredibly low population sizes. In response to public pressure, in 1982 a number of nations, including the USA, agreed to an international moratorium on whaling. As a direct result, some whale species which are thought to have been on extinction's doorstep 25 years ago have made amazing comebacks, such as grey whales in the western Pacific. Others remain at great risk. Many other species, however, continue to suffer high rates of exploitation because of the trade in animal parts. Currently, the demand for animal parts is centered in several parts of
Asia where there. is a strong market for traditional medicines made from items like tiger bone and rhino horn. 1. Native species _______. a. are not used to the local environment b. never get along well with other native species in the same environment c. tend to do harm to exotic species d. have been part of a given biological landscape for a long period 2. Exotic species _______. a. do no harm to native species and the local environment b. may kill native species for food c. always share the environment peacefully with native species d. help to make the local environment more ideal to survive 3. According to the first paragraph, _______. a. non-native species have caused badly damage to native ones b. introducing new exotic species to local environments is necessary c. exotic species have never been introduced on islands d. very few native species have been damaged by exotic species 4. According to the second paragraph, by the middle of the 20 ce ntury ___. a. whale population was the most crowded in marine life b. whale hunting was illegal c. whale population increased dramatically d. whaling was not restricted 5. Tiger bone and rhino horn _______. a. are not popular in Asian markets b. are never in the trade of animal parts c. are used for making traditional medicines d. cannot be found in Asian markets
B/ Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. Plants and animals hold medicinal, agricultural, ecological value. Endangered species must be protected and saved so that future generations can experience their presence and value. Plants and animals are responsible for a variety of useful medications. In fact, about forty percent of all prescriptions written today are composed f rom the natural compounds of different species. These species not only save lives, but they contribute to a prospering pharmaceutical industry worth over $40 billion annually. Unfortunately, only 5% of known plant species have been screened for their medicinal values, although we continue to lose up to 100 species daily. The Pacific yew, a slow-growing tree found in the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest, was historically considered a "trash" tree. However, a substance in its bark was recently identified as one of the most promising treatments for ovarian and breast cancer. Additionally, more than 3 million American heart disease sufferers would die within 72 hours of a heart attack without digitalis, a drug derived from the purple foxglove. There are an estimated 80,000 edible plants in the world. Humans depend upon only 20 species of these plants, such as wheat and corn, to provide 90% of the world's food. Wild relatives of these common crops contain essential disease - resistant material. They also pro vide humans with the means to develop new crops that can grow in inadequate lands such as in poor soils or drought -stricken areas to help solve the world hunger problem. In the 1970s, genetic material from a wild
corn species in Mexico was used to stop a leaf fungus that had previously wiped out 15% of the U.S. corn crop. Plant and animal species are the foundation of healthy ecosystems. Humans depend on ecosystems such as coastal estuaries, prairie grasslands, and ancient forests to purify their air, clean their water, and supply them with food. When species become endangered, it is an indicator that the health of these vital ecosystems is beginning to unravel. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that losing one plant species can trigger the loss of up to 30 other insect, plant and higher animal species. The northern spotted owl, listed as threatened in 1990, is an indicator of the declining health of the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest. These forests are the home to over 100 other old-growth dependent species, which are at risk due to decades of unsustainable forest management practices. Pollution off the coast of Florida is killing the coral reefs along the Florida Keys, which serve as habitat for hundreds of species of fish. Commercial f ish species have begun to decline, causing a threat to the multi-million dollar tourism industry, which depends on the quality of the environment. 1.
