BÀI ĐỌC LUYỆN THI VÀO 10 A. READ THE PASSAGES AND CHOOSE THE LETTER A, B, C, D TO INDICATE THE CORRECT ANSWER TO EACH OF THE QUESTIONS TEST 1 One of the main sources for the spreading of news and events throughout the world is the newspaper.

The purpose of newspapers is to inform the public of political, social economic and entertainment happenings, among other things .Generally, there are three types of newspapers: daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, and special-interest newspapers. Daily newspapers publish at least one edition every weekday. Most dailies also have a weekend edition. Daily newspapers often have sections for news, sports, arts and entertainment, business and classified advertising. Weekly newspapers print once a week and cover news of interest to readers in a smaller area than that of a daily paper. They focus on local happenings rather than national or international events. Specialinterest newspapers may publish daily, weekly, monthly, or even less frequently. They generally disseminate news of interest to a particular group of readers or feature news about a specific topic.

Thanks to the development of the Internet, we can now get access to electronic newspapers. To some extent, enewspapers are cheap, up-to-date, and convenient for most readers in the world.

But do you really worry about it? Do you help to save the Earth? Cleaning a planet is not a task for only one person. People everywhere have to get involved and understand this is our world. If we pass the world about the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling, the destiny of this planet can change.

Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment. Did you switch off the water while brushing your teeth in the morning? You should do it! Did you walk to school or did you use public transportation?

Reusing is another way of being environmentally friendly. Try to find ways to use things again! Take cloth sacks when you go shopping instead of taking home newspaper or plastic bags. You should use cloth sacks again and again. You have to save some trees! Shoe boxes and margarine containers can be used to store things or become fun art projects. Use your imagination!

You can also recycle in your home or even at school. Many communities have recycling centers for newspapers, batteries and a variety of glass and plastics. These can be made into new products.

I studied the two languages when I was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University. As for me, mastering a foreign language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Travelling to the country where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well enough you will certainly have troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, listen to the radio in the language I am trying to learn. Reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I personally think newspapers and magazines are better. However, getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing. Grammar and vocabulary should be mastered first.

1. How many languages can the writer speak?

A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 2. The writer has learnt Spanish _______.

A. in Spain B. at high school C. at university D. B and C 3. Travelling may cause troubles if _______.

A. Mastering grammar and vocabulary B. Practicing speaking C. getting some knowledge of the language D.Reading books and newspapers TEST 4 Most of the people who like films are only interested in the leading actor or actress when they enjoy a film.

It seems to them that only the actors or actresses have made the film successful. They always pay attention to their appearance, performance, and fashion. There are many film viewers who have no awareness of the other people’s work to make a film. A finished film is, actually, the result of the collaboration of many people, and the most important among them are the scriptwriter, the cinematographer, the film editor, the actor, and the director.

Especially, in some thrilling scenes, the roles of stuntmen are very important. They are always in danger when they are acting; some of them are even badly hurt or dead. But what a pity, many film viewers rarely appreciate their work.

1. To many film viewers, ________.

A. the director is the most important B. no one is more important than the leading actor or actress C. the stuntmen play the most important role D. the most important person is the cinematographer 97

The Internet allows people to work at home instead of traveling to work. The Internet allows businesses to communicate with customers and workers in any part of the world for the cost of a local telephone call. E-mail allows users to send documents, pictures and other data from one part of the world to another in at least 5 minutes. People can use the Internet to do shopping. This save a lot of time. It is possible to use the Internet for education – students may connect with their teachers from home to send or receive e-mail or talk their problems through “on-line” rather than attend a class.

1. The Internet allows people .................................................

A. to stay at home and rest B. not to work C. to travel to work D. to work at home 2. To a business, the Internet is .................to communicate with customers.

A. a cheap way B. a very expensive way C. an inconvenient way D. a difficult way 3. E-mail can be used to send .................................................

A. documents B. information C. data D. all are correct 4. To use the Internet for education is .............................

A. impossible B. possible C. inconvenient D. difficult TEST 6 Dear Editor I am writing with regards to the article 'Is the TV Dead?' that appeared in your newspaper on the 4th March. The author claimed that with the rise of the Internet, the TV was becoming less and less significant in our lives.

I find it very difficult to agree with this view. The TV is still the main way most of us get our entertainment at home. It offers us the chance to see top musical artists, great films and documentaries and occasionally, thanks to important televised events, it has the power to bring the whole nation and all ages together in a way the Internet never could.

Your article was particularly critical of the TV for the poor quality of programmes available on the many channels we now have. It is certainly true that many of the channels offer nothing more than repeats or low budget programmes. However, I would argue that the majority of content on the Internet is also of questionable quality. I agree with the writer that it is easy to keep up - to - date with the latest news on the Internet, but I'm sure most of us still enjoy sitting down to the News on TV in the evening just as much.

The writer is correct in stating that the Internet has become our major source for research and I think this is its main strength. However, criticising the TV for not being as good is totally unfair. Information programmes like documentaries are made for their potential as entertainment not as research tools and as such will continue to be popular with viewers.

98

So in conclusion I don't think the writer should be so quick to write the TV off. On the contrary, I think it has many more years left in it!

TEST 7 Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice.

Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.

1. People with back problems might go cycling because__________.

A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet B. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet C. it helps to make their backs become stronger D. it helps them to relieve their backache 2. All forms of exercise must be started__________.

Litter on Mount Everest Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. It is also the highest trash pile in the world. About 400 people try to reach the top every year. Having many climbers means a lot of trash.

It is very dangerous to climb Mt. Everest. The air is very thin and cold. Most people carry bottles of oxygen; they could die without it. When the oxygen bottles are empty, people throw them on the ground. When strong winds rip their tents, people leave them behind. They don’t have the energy to take the trash away. They only have enough energy to go down the mountain safely.

Trash is a terrible problem. Since people first began to climb Mt. Everest, they have left 50,000 kilos of trash on the mountain. Several groups have climbed the mountain just to pick up the trash. When people plan to climb the mountain, they have to plan to take away their trash.

A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin may add weight and texture.

Where do these fibers come from? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes from trees.

Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and reduces air and water pollution.

TEST 3 One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using natural gas for cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas found in the United States, usually several thousand feet below the surface of the earth.

For many years after natural gas first discovered, it was thought to have no value. Finally, however, people began to understand its uses and to find ways of storing it and of moving it from place to place.

Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking, and heating. In many ways, natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It is cheap and can be used for cooking without making the room hot. It can be moved easily from one place to another through long pipelines, some of which are hundreds of miles in length.

TEST 4 LEARNING ENGLISH It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accent. Unlike children, who are flexible, adults often find it hard to change the way they speak. This is why even the top, or smartest adult students have difficulty with pronunciation. There are several things that an international students can do to improve his or her pronunciation.

One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class. Studying pronunciation can help students to understand the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking, students often need to be exposed to English outside the classroom as well. This is why many students say that studying in an English-speaking country greatly affects their English. Living with native speakers can help students to learn new vocabulary as well as improve their accents.

International students can also learn important cultural information. This can help to prevent misunderstandings that can occur when people from different cultures live together.
