Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The

basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages. Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage in communication. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods must be based upon speech. To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems, electronic mail, and the Internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication on the horizon. Question 31: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Gestures B. Signs and signals C. Speech D. Communication Question 32: According to this passage, what is a signal? A. A form of communication that interrupts the environment. B. The most difficult form of communication to describe. C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances. D. The form of communication most related to cultural perception. Question 33: The word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to ____________. A. way B. environment C. function D. signal Question 34: The word “intricate” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ___________. A. inefficient B. complicated C. historical D. uncertain Question 35: Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented? A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols. B. Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete. C. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances. D. Because people wanted new forms of communication. 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 questions from 36 to 42. Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know. Although the whale is very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water. Whales have tails that end like flippers. With just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any friction that can slow the whale down. A whale’s breathing hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe without having to completely push its head out of the water. Whales are protected from the cold seawater by body fat that is called blubber. Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviours, they are more similar to humans than fish. They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle them. When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One such case occurred in 1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had begun to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great danger to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe through. Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures. They cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These holes would also serve as guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters. (Adapted from http://www.englishdaily626.com?reading_comprehension) Question 36: Which of the following best describes the main idea of this passage?

A. very small B. very deep C. very fat D. very ugly Question 41: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to . A. guides B. holes C. the whales D. warmer waters Question 42: According to the passage, why was the frozen ice on the sea surface a danger to whales? A. Because they couldn’t swim in icy cold water. B. Because they couldn’t eat when the weather was too cold. C. Because whales couldn’t breathe without sufficient oxygen. D. Because the water was too cold for them as they were warm-blooded.

Chi tiết được nhắc đến trong đoạn 2 không thể là ý chính. B.Cá voi là loài động vật duy nhất chỉ sống ở nước ấm => Không được đề cập đến trong bài. C.Cá voi là loài sinh vật lớn nhất, hòa nhã nhất, nhưng dễ bị tổn thương nhất Đáp án này bao quát được ý toàn bài, của cả đoạn 1 [lớn nhất], đoạn 2 [hiền lành], đoạn 3 [dễ bị tổn thương] D.

Đây là thông tin sai với thông tin được đưa ra ở trong bài. Các thông tin các đều đúng với thông tin trong bài .Xem kỹ đoạn 2 của bài [Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviours, they are more similar to humans than fish. They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years.

Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great danger to them.[Lúc đó gần vào mùa đông, và biển bắt đầu đông cứng. Cá voi là động vật có vú cần ô xy từ không khí, nên lớp băng đông cứng là một sự đe dọa đối với chúng]. Question 43. D Are => is Cấu trúc: the number of+ danh từ số nhiều => động từ ở dạng số ít Câu này dịch như sau: Số lượng học sinh tham gia các khóa học ở trường đại học của chúng ta đang tăng dần. Question 44. C That => which vì không được dùng giới từ + that trong mệnh đề quan hệ. Câu này dịch như sau: Môn lặn có bình dưỡng khí thường được thực hiện ở đại dương nơi mà con người có thể khám phá thế giới dưới biển. Question 45. C Making => make vì cấu trúc song song: các động từ nối nhau bằng liên từ “and/ but/ or” phải đồng dạng. Câu này dịch như sau: Để thành công trong buổi phỏng vấn, bạn nên kiểm soát cảm giác áp lực và tạo ấn tượng tốt với người phỏng vấn. Question 46: D must have done: chắc hẳn là đã (phỏng đoán ở quá khứ) Tôi thực sự tin rằng bức thư của tôi (đã) đến sẽ khiến John vô cùng ngạc nhiên = John chắc hẳn là đã ngạc nhiên khi nhận được thư của tôi Lưu ý trong câu gốc có từ really believe, nghĩa là thật sự tin tưởng rằng, mức độ chắc chắn đến 90% tương đương với must have been. Might have been cũng là phỏng đoán trong quá khứ, nhưng mức độ chắc chắn chỉ ở mức 40-50%.

Question 47: A Why don‟t we + V nguyên thể = suggest + V-ing: thể hiện sự mời mọc, rủ rê. =>Chọn A Question 48: B Ứng viên này đã được mời làm việc bởi vì những câu trả lời xuất sắc của anh ta [thì quá khứ]→ tương đương với điều giả định không có thực trong quá khứ: Nếu không nhờ vào những câu trả lời xuất sắc của ứng viên thì anh ta đã không thể nào có được công việc. If it hadn‟t been for + danh từ: nếu không nhờ vào cái gì [dùng ở If loại 3] If it weren‟t for + danh từ: nếu không nhờ vào cái gì. Question 49: D. - Câu D sử dụng cấu trúc đảo ngữ với câu điều kiện loại 3 (không thật ở quá khứ). Question 50: D. - Câu D là câu có 2 mệnh đề, trong đó mệnh đề phụ đã được rút gọn chủ từ.

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 questions from 31 to 35. Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming. Scientists have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration patterns due to warmer temperatures. With further warming, animals will tend to migrate towards the poles and up mountainsides towards higher elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grew too warm. In many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland blocking their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For example, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but have nowhere farther north to go. Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further warming. The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough and may disappear. Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach", a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral. Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching and death of coral reefs around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems. From “Global Warming" by Michael Mastrandrea and Stephen H. Schneider Question 31: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Influence of climate changes on human lifestyles. B. Effects of global warming on animals and plants C. Global warming and possible solutions D. Global warming and species migration Question 32: The pronoun “those" in paragraph 2 refers to ________ . A. areas B. species C. ecosystems D. habitats Question 33: Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flowers to ________ A. become lighter B. lose color C. bloom earlier D. die instantly Question 34: The level of acidity in the ocean is increased by ________ . A. the extinction of species in coastal areas. B. the rising amount of carbon dioxide entering the ocean C. the loss of acidity in the atmosphere around the earth D. the decrease of acidity of the pole waters Question 35: The word "fragile” in paragraph 4 most probably means ________ .

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 questions from 36 to 42. In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose. Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States. Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons. The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way. In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons. This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people. Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.

Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West. Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture is worth a thousand words.” Question 36: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. Chinese Cartoons and Western Cartoons B. Cartoons as a Way of Educating People C. AVery Powerful Force in Influencing People D. An Excellent Way of Spreading Propaganda Question 37: The pronoun “this” in paragraph 4 mostly refers to ________.

Humor, unexpectedness, and criticism. C. Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness. D. Originality, freshness, and astonishment.

Polar bears are in danger of dying out. Unlike some other endangered animals, it's not hunters that are the problem, it's climate change.

In Britain, greetings cards are sold in chain stores and supermarkets, in newsagents’ shops, corner shops and, increasingly, in shops that specialize in the sale of cards and paper for wrapping presents in. The most common cards are birthday and Christmas cards. Many Christmas cards are sold in aid of charity and special „charity card shops’ are often set up in temporary premises in the weeks before Christmas. A wide variety of birthday cards is available to cater for different ages and tastes. Some, especially ones for young children or for people celebrating a particular birthday, have the person’s age on the front. Many have comic, often risqué, messages printed on them, and cartoon–style illustrations. Others are more sober, with reproductions of famous paintings or attractive original designs. The usual greeting on a birthday card is ‘Happy Birthday’, ‘Many Happy Returns’ or ‘Best Wishes for a Happy Birthday’. Some people also send special cards for Easter and New Year. Easter cards either portray images of spring, such as chicks, eggs, lambs, spring flowers, etc, or have a religious theme. Cards are produced for every ‘milestone’ in a person’s life. There are special cards for an engagement, a marriage, a new home, a birth, success in an examination, retirement, a death in the family, etc. Some are ‘good luck’ or „congratulations’ cards.

Though called by sweet–sounding names like Firinga or Katrina, tropical cyclones are huge rotating storms 200 to 2,000 kilometers wide with winds that blow at speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour (kph). Weather professionals know them as tropical cyclones, but they are called hurricanes in the Caribbean Sea, typhoons in the Pacific Ocean, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean. They occur in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Large ones have destroyed cities and killed hundreds of thousands of people. Tropical cyclones begin over water that is warmer than 27 degrees Celsius (80 degrees Fahrenheit) slightly north or south of the earth’s equator. Warm, humid air full of water vapor moves upward. The earth’s rotation causes the growing storm to start to rotate around its center (called the eye). At a certain height, the water vapor condenses, changing to liquid and releasing heat. The heat draws more air and water vapor upward, creating a cycle as air and water vapor rise and liquid water falls. If the cycle speeds up until winds reach 118 kilometers per hour, the storm qualifies as a tropical cyclone. Most deaths in tropical cyclones are caused by storm surge. This is a rise in sea level, sometimes seven meters or more, caused by the storm pushing against the ocean’s surface. Storm surge was to blame for the flooding of New Orleans in 2005. The storm surge of Cyclone Nargis in 2008 in Myanmar pushed seawater nearly four meters deep some 40 kilometers inland, resulting in many deaths. It has never been easy to forecast a tropical cyclone accurately. The goal is to know when and where the next tropical cyclone will form. “And we can’t really do that yet,” says David Nolan, a weather researcher from the University of Miami. The direction and strength of tropical cyclones are also difficult to predict, even with computer assistance. In fact, long–term forecasts are poor; small differences in the combination of weather factors lead to very different storms. More accurate forecasting could help people decide to evacuate when a storm is on the way. Question 35: As stated in paragraph 1, tropical cyclones are storms with winds blowing at speeds of . A. more than 100 kph B. at least 200 kph C. less than 100 kph D. no less than 200 kph . Question 36: The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to A. sweet–sounding names B. wind speeds C. tropical cyclones D. weather professionals Question 37: Which of the following comes first in the process of storm formation? A. Liquid water falls. B. Warm, humid air moves upward. C. Water vapor condenses. D. Wind speed reaches 118 kph. Question 38: According to the passage, a storm surge is . A. a rise in sea level B. pushing seawater C. a tropical cyclone D. inland flooding Question 39: What is true about the storm surge of Cyclone Nargis? A. It took a very high death toll. B. It caused flooding in New Orleans in 2005. C. It occurred in Myanmar in 2005. D. It pushed seawater 4 kilometers inland. Question 40: The word “evacuate” in paragraph 4 mostly means . A. move to safer places B. make accurate predictions C. take preventive measures D. call for relief supplies Question 41: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The center of a growing storm is known as its eye. B. The direction and strength of tropical cyclones are difficult to forecast. C. Tropical cyclones are often given beautiful names. D.

A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwelling. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family. The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered by the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization. The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage. Anthropologically, the term “extended family” refers to such a group living together in a household, often with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term “extended family” is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a single group. Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in nuclear families. This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often lived together for economic reasons. During the 20th century, average income rose high enough that living apart as nuclear families became a viable option for the vast majority of the American population. In contrast, many indigenous societies and residents of developing countries continue to have multiple generations living in the same household. The rise of the nuclear family in the modern West does not necessarily mean that family arrangements have stabilized, either. The rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents a substantial change to the traditional nuclear family. More couples are also choosing not to have children at all.

The coronavirus is usually transmitted by droplets, such as those produced when coughing and sneezing, and by direct or indirect contact with secretions infected by the virus. The virus may also shed in blood, urine and faeces, and, therefore, there is potential for transmission through contact with a wide range of bodily fluids. Certainly, person-to-person spread has been confirmed in community and healthcare settings across Asia and into Europe. There is also a possibility that asymptomatic carriers may be able to infect people. Public Health England (PHE) has classified the COVID-19 infection as an airborne, high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK. The application of infection prevention and control (IPC) principles are already widely used by healthcare professionals within hospital and community settings to both prevent the spread of infections and to control outbreaks when they do occur. The WHO has issued interim guidance regarding IPC when COVID-19 is suspected. This advice is echoed by guidance issued by PHE.

PHE suggests the coronavirus may pose complications, such as illness pneumonia or severe acute respiratory infection. They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions or are immunocompromised are at risk of these complications. It is important that as first-line staff, midwives are also familiar with the recommended IPC principles and measures, and ensure they have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for a patient with suspected COVID-19. Question 31: What is the main idea of the passage? A. the problems related to the coronavirus B. epidemic situation in England caused by coronavirus C. advice for those who infected with coronavirus D. how the coronavirus is transmitted and ways to prevent infection Question 32: The coronavirus can be found in all of the following except ______.

A. IPC B. WHO C. PHE D. COVID-19 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 questions from 36 to 42. More than 200 reindeer have died of starvation on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, with scientists blaming their deaths on climate change. The wild deer carcasses were found on the Arctic islands this summer by researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI), which said it had never logged so many deaths at once in 40 years of monitoring the animals’ population level. “It’s scary to find so many dead animals,” project leader Ashild Onvik Pedersen told state broadcaster NRK. “This is an example of how climate change affects nature. It is just sad.” Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be warming quicker than any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this year. The milder temperatures in the region led to unusually heavy rainfall in December, leaving a thick layer of ice when the precipitation froze. This meant the reindeer could not dig through the hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze on in their usual pastures, the NPI said. Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp when food is scarce, but these are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems. A relatively high number of calves born last year increased the death toll, as the youngest and weakest are often the first to die in harsh conditions. “Some of the mortality is natural because there were so many calves last year. But the large number we see now is due to heavy rain, which is due to global warming,” said Ms Onvik Pedersen. A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating population of the Svalbard reindeer earlier this year. Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted plant species, currently kept in check by the animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America. Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report said food security was partly to blame for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could also put the animals at greater risk of diseases spread by flies and parasites. The average temperature in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.7C since 1900, more than three times the global average increase of about 1C. In 2016, the entrance to the town’s “Doomsday” seed vault – which stores specimens of almost all the world’s seeds – was flooded following heavy rainfall. (Adapted from https://www.independent.co.uk/) Question 36: Which could best serve as the title of the passage?

A. Climate change – The main cause for the death of hundreds of reindeer. B. Global warming – What are the effects on nature? C. Reindeer – The most vulnerable animals on the Arctic islands. D. Climate change – What are the reasons? Question 37: The word “logged” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______________.

It is believed to be the most quickly warming settlement on earth. B. People in Longyearbyen suffered unusually heavy rain at the end of the year. C. It is the northernmost town on our planet. D. The reindeer here couldn’t stand the low temperature when the precipitation froze. Question 39: The word “scarce” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by __________. A. inappropriate B. insufficient C. abundant D. unlimited Question 40: What does the word “these” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. seaweed and kelp B. Svalbard’s reindeer C. their usual pastures D. milder temperatures Question 41: Which statement is TRUE according to the last paragraphs? A. After over 2 months investigated, reindeer populations were reported to decrease because of the increase of unwanted plant species. B.

Dịch nghĩa toàn bài: Đại dịch cúm năm 1918 là đại dịch nghiêm trọng nhất trong lịch sử gần đây. Nó được gây ra bởi một loại vi-rút có tên H1N1 mà gen có nguồn gốc từ chim. Mặc dù không có sự đồng thuận phổ biến về nguồn gốc của virus nhưng nó đã lan rộng trên toàn thế giới trong giai đoạn 1918-1919. Ở Hoa Kỳ, bệnh lần đầu tiên được xác định trong quân nhân vào mùa xuân năm 1918. Người ta ước tính rằng khoảng 500 triệu người hoặc một phần ba dân số thế giới đã bị nhiễm loại virus này. Số người chết được ước tính ít nhất là 50 triệu trên toàn thế giới với khoảng 675.000 người xảy ra ở Hoa Kỳ. Tỷ lệ tử vong cao ở những người dưới 5 tuổi, 20-40 tuổi và 65 tuổi trở lên. Tỷ lệ tử vong cao ở những người khỏe mạnh, bao gồm cả những người trong độ tuổi 20-40, là một đặc điểm độc đáo của đại dịch này.

Mặc dù vi-rút cúm 1918 đã được tổng hợp và đánh giá nhưng các đặc tính khiến nó có sức tàn phá như vậy vẫn không được hiểu rõ. Không có vắc-xin để bảo vệ chống nhiễm cúm và không có kháng sinh để điều trị nhiễm vi khuẩn thứ cấp có thể liên quan đến nhiễm cúm, các nỗ lực kiểm soát trên toàn thế giới chỉ giới hạn ở các can thiệp phi dược phẩm như cách ly, kiểm dịch, vệ sinh cá nhân tốt, sử dụng thuốc khử trùng và hạn chế các cuộc tụ họp công cộng được áp dụng không đồng đều. 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 questions from 31 to 35. 31. Dịch nghĩa câu hỏi: Ý chính của đoạn văn là gì? D A. các vấn đề liên quan đến coronavirus B. tình hình dịch ở Anh do coronavirus gây ra C. lời khuyên cho những người bị nhiễm coronavirus D. cách coronavirus lây nhiễm và cách ngăn ngừa nhiễm trùng Giải thích: Đoạn văn chủ yếu nói về con đường lây nhiễm của virus corona và việc cần làm để phòng tránh lây nhiễm.(2 câu đầu P1, P2) 32. Dịch nghĩa câu hỏi: Có thể tìm thấy coronavirus trong tất cả những thứ sau đây ngoại trừ B ______. A. máu B. quần áo C. nước tiểu D. phân Giải thích: Thông tin có ở câu: “The virus may also shed in blood, urine and faeces, and, therefore, there is potential for transmission through contact with a wide range of bodily fluids.” 33. Dịch nghĩa câu hỏi: Từ “interim” trong đoạn 2 nhiều khả năng có nghĩa là ______. A A. tạm thời B. vĩnh cửu C. vĩnh viễn D. hiệu quả Giải thích: Từ “interim” có nghĩa là “tạm thời”, gần nghĩa với phương án A. 34. Dịch nghĩa câu hỏi: Theo đoạn cuối, ai có nguy cơ mắc bệnh viêm phổi hoặc nhiễm trùng C đường hô hấp cấp tính nặng? A. những người làm việc trong WHO B. nhân viên Y tế công cộng Anh C. những người có bệnh nền lâu dài D. nhân viên tuyến đầu như nữ hộ sinh Giải thích: Thông tin có ở câu: “They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions or are immunocompromised are at risk of these complications.” 35. Dịch nghĩa câu hỏi: Từ “They” trong đoạn cuối đề cập đến điều gì? C A. IPC B. WHO C. PHE D. COVID-19 Giải thích: “PHE suggests the coronavirus may pose complications,… They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions…”. Từ “They ” chỉ PHE đã nhắc đến trong câu trước. Dịch nghĩa toàn bài: Virus corona thường được truyền qua các giọt nhỏ, chẳng hạn như những giọt được tạo ra khi ho và hắt hơi, và do tiếp xúc trực tiếp hoặc gián tiếp với các chất tiết bị nhiễm virus. Virus cũng có thể chảy trong máu, nước tiểu và phân, và do đó, có khả năng lây truyền qua tiếp xúc với một loạt các chất dịch cơ thể. Chắc chắn, sự lây lan từ người sang người đã được xác nhận trong các môi trường cộng đồng và chăm sóc sức khỏe trên khắp Châu Á và Châu Âu. Cũng có khả năng người mang mầm bệnh không triệu chứng có thể lây nhiễm cho người. Y tế công cộng Anh (PHE) đã phân loại nhiễm COVID-19 là một bệnh truyền nhiễm có hậu quả cao (HCID) trong không khí ở Anh. Việc áp dụng các nguyên tắc phòng ngừa và kiểm soát nhiễm trùng (IPC) đã được sử dụng rộng rãi bởi các chuyên gia chăm sóc sức khỏe trong môi trường bệnh viện và cộng đồng để ngăn ngừa sự lây lan của nhiễm trùng và kiểm soát dịch bệnh khi chúng xảy ra. WHO đã ban hành hướng dẫn tạm thời về phòng ngừa và kiểm soát nhiễm trùng khi nghi ngờ COVID-19. Lời khuyên này được lặp lại bởi hướng dẫn do PHE ban hành.

PHE cho thấy coronavirus có thể gây ra các biến chứng, như viêm phổi do bệnh hoặc nhiễm trùng đường hô hấp cấp tính nặng. Họ cũng đề nghị những bệnh nhân có bệnh nền lâu dài hoặc bị suy giảm miễn dịch có nguy cơ bị các biến chứng này. Điều quan trọng là với tư cách là nhân viên tuyến đầu, các nữ hộ sinh cũng quen thuộc với các nguyên tắc và biện pháp phòng ngừa và kiểm soát nhiễm trùng được khuyến nghị và đảm bảo họ có thiết bị bảo vệ cá nhân (PPE) phù hợp khi chăm sóc bệnh nhân nghi ngờ COVID19.

Dịch nghĩa câu hỏi: Những câu sau đây là đúng về thủ đô Longyearbyen, ngoại trừ _____________. A. Nơi đây được tin là nơi định cư có tốc độ ấm lên nhanh nhất trên Trái Đất. B. Người dân ở Longyearbyen phải hứng chịu những cơn mưa lớn bất thường vào cuối năm. C. Nó là một thị trấn cực bắc trên hành tinh của chúng ta. D. Loài tuần lộc ở đây không thể chịu được nhiệt độ thấp khi lượng mưa bị đóng băng. Giải thích: Thông tin có ở câu 1, 2 và 3 - đoạn 2: Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be warming quicker than any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this year. The milder temperatures in the region led to unusually heavy rainfall in December, leaving a thick layer of ice when the precipitation froze. This meant the reindeer could not dig through the hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze on in their usual pastures, the NPI said. Dịch nghĩa câu hỏi: Từ “scarce” trong đoạn 2 có thể được thay thế bởi từ ___________. A. không phù hợp B. không đủ, khan hiếm C. phong phú, dồi dào D. không giới hạn Giải thích: Từ đồng nghĩa: scarce (khan hiếm) = insufficient Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp when food is scarce, but these are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems. Dịch nghĩa câu hỏi: Từ “these” trong đoạn 2 đề cập đến từ nào? A. rong biển và tảo bẹ B. tuần lộc Svalbard

C. các đồng cỏ thông thường D. nhiệt độ ấm hơn Giải thích: Thông tin có ở câu cuối- đoạn 2: Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp when food is scarce, but these are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems. (Loài tuần lộc Svalbard đã từng được nhìn thấy đang ăn rong biển và tảo bẹ khi thức ăn khan hiếm, nhưng những loại này ít dinh dưỡng hơn và gây ra các vấn đề về tiêu hóa cho chúng). Như vậy, những thứ ít dinh dưỡng là rong biển và tảo bẹ. 41. C

Dịch nghĩa câu hỏi: Theo những đoạn văn cuối, phát biểu nào sau đây là đúng? A. Sau hơn 2 tháng nghiên cứu, số lượng tuần lộc được báo cáo là suy giảm vì sự tăng lên của các loài thực vật không mong muốn. B. Gần một nửa số lượng tuần lộc đã suy giảm trong hai thập kỉ qua. C. Bên cạnh sự khan hiếm về thức ăn, bệnh tật cũng là nguyên nhân gây ra cái chết của tuần lộc. D. Nhiệt độ trung bình của Trái Đất đã tăng 3.7C kể từ năm 1990. Giải thích: Căn cứ vào các thông tin sau: A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating population of the Svalbard reindeer earlier this year. Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted plant species, currently kept in check by the animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America. Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report said food security was partly to blame for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could also put the animals at greater risk of diseases spread by flies and parasites. The average temperature in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.7C since 1900, more than three times the global average increase of about 1C. (Một nhóm 3 nhà khoa học đã mất 10 tuần nghiên cứu số lượng loài tuần lộc Svalbard hồi đầu năm nay. Những nhà nghiên cứu cảnh báo rằng sự suy giảm của loài tuần lộc có thể khiến những loài thực vật không mong muốn, thường bị kìm hãm bởi các loài động vật ăn cỏ, lan rộng sang hệ sinh thái Bắc Cực ở Châu Âu, Châu Á và Bắc Mĩ. Số lượng loài tuần lộc caribu và tuần lộc Bắc cực đã giảm 56% trong 2 thập kỉ qua, theo một báo cáo năm trước của Cơ quan Khí quyển và Đại dương Quốc gia. Báo cáo này cho biết an ninh lương thực chỉ chịu trách nhiệm một phần cho việc suy giảm các loài ăn cỏ, trong khi đó các mùa hè nóng hơn cũng khiến những loài vật này gặp nhiều nguy cơ mắc bệnh truyền nhiễm do ruồi và kí sinh trùng gây ra. Nhiệt độ trung bình ở Longyearbyen đã tăng 3.7C kể từ năm 1990, nhiều hơn gấp 3 lần so với mức tăng nhiệt độ trung bình toàn cầu là chỉ khoảng 1C).

42.B

Dịch nghĩa câu hỏi: Có thể suy ra từ đoạn văn rằng _______________. A. loài tuần lộc Bắc Cực đóng vai trò quan trọng nhất trong hệ sinh thái Bắc Cực. B. hệ sinh thái Bắc Cực đang chuyển biến xấu đi bởi vì sự nóng lên toàn cầu. C. tác động rõ ràng nhất của biến đổi khí hậu là sự hạn chế của chuỗi thức ăn trong tự nhiên. D. thời tiết khắc nghiệt ở các hòn đảo Bắc Cực chỉ gây hại đến các con thú non. Giải thích: Căn cứ vào thông tin rải rác trong toàn đoạn văn: Chúng ta có thể thấy đoạn văn miêu tả về nguyên nhân cái chết đồng loạt của hàng trăm con tuần lộc do biến đổi khí hậu, lượng mưa tăng bất thường vào cuối năm, mùa hè nóng hơn, nhiệt độ ở Longyearbyen tăng nhanh hơn gấp 3 lần so với toàn cầu, nguy cơ lan tràn các loài thực vật có hại, nguy cơ bệnh dịch, thiếu thức ăn, … Tất cả những điều này cho

thấy rằng hệ sinh thái Bắc Cực đang biến đổi theo chiều hướng xấu đi. Dịch nghĩa toàn bài: Hơn 200 con tuần lộc đã chết vì đói trên quần đảo Na Uy của Svalbard, các nhà khoa học đổ lỗi cái chết của chúng là do biến đổi khí hậu. Những bộ xương của loài tuần lộc hoang dã được tìm thấy trên các hòn đảo Bắc Cực hè năm nay bởi những nhà nghiên cứu đến từ Viện địa cực Na Uy (NPI), nơi cho biết chưa từng có ghi nhận về nhiều con tuần lộc chết cùng một lúc như vậy trong 40 năm theo dõi số lượng của loài vật này. “Thật đáng sợ khi thấy có quá nhiều động vật chết, đây là 1 ví dụ về việc sự thay đổi của khí hâu tác động như thế nào đến thiên nhiên. Điều này thật sự đáng buồn”,ông Ashild Onvik Pedersen- người đứng dự án- phát biểu trong bản tin trên đài NRK Thủ đô Lonyearbyen của Svalbard, thị trấn cực bắc trên Trái Đất, được cho là có tốc độ ấm lên nhanh hơn bất kì nơi định cư nào trên hành tinh của chúng ta, các nhà khí tượng đã cảnh báo như vậy hồi đầu năm nay. Nhiệt độ ấm hơn trong vùng đã dẫn tới lượng mưa cao bất thường vào tháng 12, để lại một lớp băng dày khi lượng mưa bị đóng băng. Theo NPI, điều này có nghĩa là loài tuần lộc không thể đào xuyên qua lớp băng cứng để kiếm được cỏ trên các cánh đồng như thường lệ. Loài tuần lộc Svalbard đã từng được nhìn thấy đang ăn rong biển và tảo bẹ khi thức ăn khan hiếm, nhưng những loại này ít dinh dưỡng hơn và gây ra các vấn đề về tiêu hóa cho chúng. Một số lượng tương đối lớn các con tuần lộc con được sinh ra vào năm ngoái đã chết , bởi vì những con nhỏ nhất và yếu nhất thường chết trong điều kiện khắc nghiệt. Bà Onvik Pedersen nói, một vài con chết là chuyện bình thường vì năm ngoái có quá nhiều tuần lộc con. Nhưng số lượng lớn như chúng ta thấy năm nay là vì mưa lớn do biến đổi khí hậu. Một nhóm 3 nhà khoa học đã mất 10 tuần nghiên cứu số lượng loài tuần lộc Svalbard hồi đầu năm nay. Những nhà nghiên cứu cảnh báo rằng sự suy giảm của loài tuần lộc có thể khiến những loài thực vật không mong muốn, thường bị kìm hãm bởi các loài động vật ăn cỏ, lan rộng sang hệ sinh thái Bắc Cực ở Châu Âu, Châu Á và Bắc Mĩ. Số lượng loài tuần lộc caribu và tuần lộc Bắc cực đã giảm 56% trong 2 thập kỉ qua, theo một báo cáo năm trước của Cơ quan Khí quyển và Đại dương Quốc gia. Báo cáo này cho biết an ninh lương thực chỉ chịu trách nhiệm một phần cho việc suy giảm các loài ăn cỏ, trong khi đó các mùa hè nóng hơn cũng khiến những loài vật này gặp nhiều nguy cơ mắc bệnh truyền nhiễm do ruồi và kí sinh trùng gây ra. Nhiệt độ trung bình ở Longyearbyen đã tăng 3.7C kể từ năm 1990, nhiều hơn gấp 3 lần so với mức tăng nhiệt độ trung bình toàn cầu là chỉ khoảng 1C. Vào năm 2016, lối dẫn vào ngân hàng hạt giống của thị trấn “Doomsday”- nơi chứa mẫu của hầu hết các hạt giống trên thế giới đã bị ngập do bởi cơn mưa lớn.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42. From smartphones and tablets to apps and social media, society is ambushed from all sides with technology. Naturally, all generations embrace it differently, with younger “digital natives” generally being more connected, more switched-on and more tech literate than older age groups. According to Pew Research, 92% of Millennials (born 1981-1996) own smartphones, compared with 85% of Gen Xers (born 1965-1980) and 67% of Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964). In terms of tech behavior, older generations tend to use their phones mostly for making calls, whereas for younger generations, a phone is their digital window to the world. Phones are used for social media, going online, texting, emailing, playing games, listening to music, and recording and watching videos. The daily media consumption of different generations also vastly differs. Gen Z and Millennials favor streaming and online services, with 46% often saying they use Netflix compared to 31% of those aged over 16. Furthermore, 16-24s spend 30% of their downtime watching TV or video, compared to 40% of tune spent on these activities by the average UK adult. Boomers spend a whopping 344 minutes a day watching regular TV, significantly more than any other age group. Size also matters more depending on your decade of birth. Younger generations prefer smaller screens sizes, opting for a smartphone as their go-to tech, while Generation X and technology newbie – the Boomers, are going bigger, owning more desktops and tablets. Always in the front of the queue for the hottest tech, younger generations see technology as an integral part of their existence, and since few Millennials and Gen Z can remember a time without social media, they’re more fearless and carefree when it comes to technology. So much so, that a Live Person report revealed 65% of Millennials and Gen Z interact more with each other online than they do in the real world. Fundamentally, these behaviors and preferred technologies combine to create a technological generation gap, where employees, shaped by their personal experiences, demonstrate different levels of ability and willingness to adopt new tech. Constantly chasing the next update or device, switched on Millennials and Gen Z are quick to lap up the latest apps, games, and platforms, while Gen Z and Boomers are generally slower to embrace technology - both at home and in the workplace. Question 36. Which best serves as the title for the passage? A. Bridging the technological generation gap. B. Decoding the ethical generational gap. C. The technological generation gap in family life. D. What is the technological generation gap? Question 37. The word “downtime” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.........

They are hesitant when discussing about technology. B. They are dependent on smartphones for almost every activity. C. They are optimistic about technology’s benefits to society. D.

According to paragraph 4, which statement is correct about different generations and their gap? A. Boomers are willing to queue overnight for a state-of-the-art mobile gadgets. B. Millennials and Gen z are more accustomed to face-to-face than messaging. C. IPhones and other mobile devices are a necessary part of life by young people. D. Younger generations prefer bigger technological devices over portable ones. Question 41. The word “embrace” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to.........

The generation users are born into affects their choices for size of technological gadgets.

Read the Following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35. As you know, the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas emit greenhouse gases. That is why environmentalists insist that we use clean, renewable energy sources. Wave energy, produced by ocean surface waves, is both eco-friendly and cost-efficient. Research has suggested that ocean wave power could make a major contribution to the world's energy resources. Scientists claim that using 1% of wave energy can provide the equivalent of 500 times the world energy consumption. With 70% of the earth's surface covered with water, wave energy is undoubtedly a valuable source of green energy. However, there is the challenge of converting wave power into energy and transmitting it to shore. Building and operating wave power stations in the ocean is far more expensive and difficult than on land. Also, salt water is a very hostile environment to devices. They go rusty easily and cannot last as long as those on shore. Sea waves make energy harvesting even harder by moving up and down most of the time. Viet Nam has a long coastline with great potential for producing wave energy. Hopefully, advancements in renewable energy technology will soon allow us to exploit wave energy effectively and efficiently. Question 31: Which best serves as the title for the passage? A.

Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his own use. This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today. As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organize their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ. Thus, an extract made from a heart-shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems. Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our present knowledge of drugs and their uses. Question 30: What does this passage mainly discuss? A. Cures from plants B. The beginning of natural history C. Prehistoric man D. Early plants and animals Question 31: Domestication of plants and animals probably occurred because of ________. A. the need for more readily available food B. lack of wild animals and plants C. early man’s power as a hunter D. the desire of prehistoric man to be nomadic Question 32: The word “This” in the first paragraph refers to ________ A. providing food for man B. man’s domestication of plants and animals C. man’s ability to live on a small plot of land D. the earliest condition of prehistoric man Question 33: The word “blossomed” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.

57

A. produced flowers B. changed C. learned D. flourished Question 34: All of the following were mentioned in the passage as the things we took from the wild EXCEPT_______. A. domesticated animals B. farm animals C. stockholders D. food plants Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted. “The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur.” What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles. Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, “In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board. Now they have found out that isn’t going to happen, so they go out on their own.” In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in “women’s” fields- cosmetic and clothing, for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtizg, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers- and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company’s cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock. Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small. But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtizig in the years ahead. Question 35. The expression “keep tabs on” is closest in meaning to _______. A. pay the salaries of B. recognize the appearance of C. keep records of D. provide transportation for Question 36. What is the main idea of the text? A. Women are better at small businesses than men are. B. The computer is especially lucrative for women today. C. Women today are opening more businesses of their own. D. Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the businesses world. Question 37. The word “excluded” is closest in meaning to _______. A. not permitted to B. decorators of C. often invited to D. charged admissions to Question 38. According to the first paragraph, all of the following were mentioned in the passage as detriments to women in the business world EXCEPT_______. A. women lacked ability to work in business B. women were required to stay at home with their families 58

C. women were not trained in business D. women faced discrimination in business Question 39. The author’s attitude about the future of women in business is _______. A. skeptical B. negative C. frustrated D. optimistic Question 40. Charlotte Taylor believes that women in the 1970s _______. A. were still more interested in education than business opportunities B. were able to work hard enough to succeed in business C. were unrealistic about their opportunities in business management D. had fewer obstacles in business than they do today Question 41.

A. point out that initially the financial resources of Sandra Kurtzig’s business were limited B. show the frugality of women in business C. show the resourcefulness of Sandra Kurtzig D. suggest that the company needed to expand Question 42.

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 questions from 31 to 35. Did you ever watch a video on the Internet? Maybe you used YouTube, a website where people can share their video. Today, YouTube is an important part of the Internet. However, that wasn’t always true. YouTube started with a young man named Jawed Karim and two friends. One day, Karim was on the Internet. He wanted to get some information about the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia. He found news stories about it, but he couldn't find any videos. This gave Karin an idea. He wanted to help people put video on the Internet. Karim told his friends about this idea. Together, they created a company YouTube. YouTube become a global success. Millions of people around the world visited the website. It was clear to Google, another Internet company, that YouTube had a lot of value. Google made a deal. It bought YouTube for $1.65 billion. As a result, YouTube investors and its employees made a lot of money. The three friends who started YouTube were very big investors. Therefore, they made an enormous amount of money. Karim became very rich, and he continued to work toward his PhD. There was something else he wanted to do. He desired to help young people go into business. He used money and experience to start a new company called Youniversity Ventures, which helps young people who have good business ideas. It gives them advice and money to start internet businesses. Milo is one business that students started

with the help of Youniversity Ventures. It is a shopping website that helps people find products in stores near their homes. Another example is AirBoB.

First, find a successful company. Do a lot of research about the company and the top people in the company. There, copy the way they do things. For students who wants to start an internet business, Karim is probably a very good example to copy.

emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.

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 questions from 36 to 42. You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions. According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such farflung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra, the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea, and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s behavior. From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings. The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some

There are usually two reasons for the extinction of animals and other living things. The first is naturally, which may take place when animals do not adapt to natural changes in their environment. For example, if the habitat of a bird suddenly changes, and if the bird does not adapt, it could become extinct. Examples of naturally occurring extinction may take place during a change in the climate. This took place during the Ice Age when the temperature of the Earth was much lower. During a natural extinction, the species may be eliminated by new predators that move into their environment. The food needed to survive may no longer be available. Another example of this type of extinction was the wooly mammoth, a relative of the elephant, which died out 10,000 years ago due to climate change and the disappearance of its habitat. The second reason for the extinction of animals is human interaction, which includes hunting and habitat destruction caused by people. An animal's environment may be destroyed by pollution or construction, such as the destruction of parts of a rainforest. Humans also overhunt sometimes wiping out an entirespecies. In addition, the moving of non-native species into an area where they are not usually found may lead to the extinction of another species. Examples include the Dodo bird that became extinct due to overhunting and other animals moving into its environment. The passenger pigeon died out due to the destruction of its habitat, as well as overhunting. There are many animals that have become extinct, but when animals are in danger of becoming extinct, yet still survive, they are called endangered animals. Question 30: The word This in the paragraph 2 refers to _______________. A. a change in the climate B. naturally occurring extinction C. temperature of the Earth D. the Ice Age Question 31 :According paragraph 1 and 2, which is NOT mentioned as factors causing natural extinction of species? A. overhunting from people B. not adapting to climate changes C. new predators that move into their environment D. the food needed to survive may no longer be available. Question 32 :It is inferred from the passage that_________________. A. Nature is the only reason for the extinction of animals and other living things B. People interaction is the only reason for the extinction of animals and other living things C. Both nature and people have contributed to the extinction of animals and other living things D. The Dodo bird and passenger pigeon are the two examples of natural extinction Question 33 : The word entiremeans ________________ A. partly B. amount C. number D. whole Question 34: What is the passage mainly about ? A. The extinction of animals and other living things due to natural changes B. The extinction of animals due to overhunting C. Some examples of animal extinction D. Two main reasons for the extinction of animals and other living things 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 questions from 35 to 42. Employees in many countries change jobs more often than previous generations of workers. They don't expect to find a job with a company that will take care of them for the rest of their lives. But what is the cause of this trend? Is it a new economy, new ways of doing business, or the employees themselves? A more globalized economy has had an effect on employment. A large number of companies are now international, and one of them may decide that moving from its offices from Germany to Poland, for example, is in its best interest. That means employees who live and work in Germany may be asked to relocate their families to a new country or be told that their jobs are simply eliminated.

72

Companies have also responded to economic pressure by restructuring for greater efficiency. This sort of change within a company usually means that unnecessary jobs are cut, or that fewer employees must do more work. In their case, some employees find themselves looking for new jobs. New technology has also had an impact on workplaces. The increasing use of personal computers has meant fewer jobs for office secretaries, as their former bosses do their own words processing and letter writing, and for travel agents, as more travelers make their own reservations online. Automation, including the use of robotic devices, has replaced workers in clothing factories, post offices, and telephone companies, to name just a few. Besides these economic and technological reasons, today's employees are also responsible for more frequent job changes. Workers in the past were less likely to leave a company because they were dissatisfied with working conditions or because they didn't get along well with their fellow employees. People today expect to enjoy their work and have personal satisfaction from what they do for a living. Employees may also leave a job because they have learned all they can learn from their current job. Getting a new job means gaining new skills and making new contracts, and these skills and relationships could bring them a step closer to their “dream job”, the one that is challenging, emotionally and financially rewarding, and preferably closer to home or their children's school. Finally, companies start up and close down more quickly than they once did. Employees who suspect that their employer is not doing well may decide to start looking for a new position before the company closes its doors. (Source: Active Skills for Reading: Book 2 by Neil J. Anderson Thompson) Question 35: The passage is mainly about ___________ A. reasons companies aren't taking care of employees as they once did B. ways in which international companies have caused a loss of job C. reasons employees change jobs more frequently than they did in the past D. the contrast between employers of the past and employers nowadays Question 36: How has globalization affected employment?

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature; neither too hot nor too cold. Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps us go to the bathroom more easily. Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t drink all of that water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion. Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A little more water each day could make you much healthier.

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 questions from 36 to 42. Australia has a well-organized and well-structured education system. The education starts at the age of five or six, but it may differ by a narrow margin between states. It starts with the preschool education which is not compulsory and can be offered within a school or separately. The primary and secondary school encompasses the compulsory education for Australians. There are a large number of primary and high school across the country with most of them being public schools. It is estimated that public schools amount to 60% of scholars as opposed to 40% in private settings. All these education providers must be licensed by the government and must fulfill certain requirements including infrastructure and teaching. Universities, on the other hand, are mainly public institutions. The Australian education system has established a standard curriculum so all scholars will be given the same quality of education. Despite there may be some states at which this curriculum is modified a bit, but the change is not that significant. The actual curriculum set out in Australia education system is based on important abilities one must have in his life: Literacy, Numeracy, Information and communication technology, Critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability, ethical understanding, intercultural understanding. Vocational and Technical schools prepare students that want to skip the university and want to move directly to the job market. Actually, here it stands the difference between universities and colleges: the Vocational and Technical Schools are more oriented in teaching practical skills while university courses are mainly theory-based to lead students to different academic careers. There are hundreds of other schools out there that provide technical and further education (TAFE) and vocational education and training (VET). These schools offer short courses, certificates I through IV, diplomas, and advanced diplomas. They focus on training their students in a particular vocation or just to help their students get out into the workplace.

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 questions from 30 to 34.

B. When the couple touches their parents’ feet.

The Hindu culture celebrates marriage as a pure and pristine rite enabling two individuals start their journey of life together. It puts emphasis on the values of happiness, harmony and growth and could be traced back from the Vedic times.

D. When the groom applies a small dot of vermillion of the bride’s forehead.

Months before the wedding ceremony, an engagement is held which is called “magni”. The couple is blessed here with gifts, jewelry and clothes. Another important ritual is the “mehendi” which is a paste made from the leaves of henna plant. It is the traditional art of adorning the hands and the feet of the bride with mehendi and the name of the groom is also hidden in the design.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

On the day of marriage, the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another and a pledge to respect one another as partners which is known as “jaimala”. This is followed by “kanyadaan”, where the father of the bride places her hand in the groom’s hand requesting him to accept her as an equal partner. Another ritual is the “havan” in which the couple invokes Agni, the god of Fire, to witness their commitment to each other. Crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the ceremonial fire. The “gath bandhan” takes place where scarves of the bride and groom are tied together symbolizing their eternal bond. This signifies their pledge before God to love each other and remain loyal. The couple then takes four “mangal pheras” or walk around the ceremonial fire, representing four goals in life: “Dharma”, religious and moral duties; “Artha”, prosperity; “Kama” earthly pleasures; “Moksha”, spiritual salvation. The couple also takes seven steps together to begin their journey, called the “saptapardi”. Then the ritual of “sindoor” takes place where the groom applies a small dot of vermilion, a red powder to the bride’s forehead and welcomes her as his partner for life. This signifies the completion of the marriage. The parents of the bride and the groom then give their blessings, “ashirwad” to the newlywed couple as they touch the feet of their parents.

C. When the couple makes seven steps together.

correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42. Though called by sweet–sounding names like Firinga or Katrina, tropical cyclones are huge rotating storms 200 to 2,000 kilometers wide with winds that blow at speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour (kph). Weather professionals know them as tropical cyclones, but they are called hurricanes in the Caribbean Sea, typhoons in the Pacific Ocean, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean. They occur in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Large ones have destroyed cities and killed hundreds of thousands of people. Tropical cyclones begin over water that is warmer than 27 degrees Celsius (80 degrees Fahrenheit) slightly north or south of the earth’s equator. Warm, humid air full of water vapor moves upward. The earth’s rotation causes the growing storm to start to rotate around its center (called the eye). At a certain height, the water vapor condenses, changing to liquid and releasing heat. The heat draws more air and water vapor upward, creating a cycle as air and water vapor rise and liquid water falls. If the cycle speeds up until winds reach 118 kilometers per hour, the storm qualifies as a tropical cyclone. Most deaths in tropical cyclones are caused by storm surge. This is a rise in sea level, sometimes seven meters or more, caused by the storm pushing against the ocean’s surface. Storm surge was to blame for

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 questions from 31 to 35. Skiing has become a way of life for many people. From the moment the first snowflake falls until the spring thaw, skiers put skis on their cars and head for slopes. There are many reasons behind the popularity of this winter sports. Skiing is a true family sport that can be enjoyable by all people, whether 3 or 93 years old. Being able to descend a hill, to turn at will and nature at its loveliest are a thrill for all age groups. Skiing is also interesting because it provides a variety of experiences. Snow conditions change hourly as the temperature and weather conditions change during the day. Moreover, every trail is different. Rarely does one pass over the same spot twice. Improvements in skis equipment, clothing, and ski areas have made the sport more pleasurable, comfortable and available. Warm, light, down-filled clothing has replaced layers of heavy sweaters. Ski equipment made with modern materials has made skis and poles lighter, more flexible and suited to people of all ages and abilities. The availability of skiing had also improved by snow-making equipment. Even in areas of the countries that have very little snowfall, snow can be made if the temperature is below 30 degrees Celsius. For many people, skiing is an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the out-of-doors, to challenge their physical abilities and, finally, to simply have fun. It is a sport world-wide and appears to be gaining in popularities constantly. 151

Endangered species There are three valid arguments to support the preservation of endangered species. An aesthetic justification contends that biodiversity contributes to the quality of life because many of the endangered plants and animals are particularly appreciated for their unique physical beauty. The aesthetic role of nature in all its diverse forms is reflected in the art and literature of every culture attaining symbolic status in the spiritual life of many groups. According to the proponents of the aesthetic argument, people need nature in all its diverse and beautiful forms as part of the experience of the world. Another argument that has been put forward, especially by groups in the medical and pharmacological fields, is that of ecological self-interest. By preserving all species, we retain a balance of nature that is ultimately beneficial to humankind. Recent research on global ecosystems has been cited as evidence that every species contributes important or even essential functions that may be necessary to the survival of our own species. Some advocates of the ecological argument contend that important chemical compounds derived from rare plants may contain the key to a cure for one of the diseases currently threatening human beings. If we do not protect other species, then they cannot protect us. Apart from human advantage in both the aesthetic and ecological arguments, the proponents of a moral justification contend that all species have the right to exist, a viewpoint stated in the United Nations World Charter for Nature, created in 1982. Furthermore, if humankind views itself as the stewards of all the creatures on Earth, then it is incumbent upon human beings to protect them, and to ensure the continued existence of all species. Moral justification has been extended by a movement called “deep

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 questions from 31 to 35. After twenty years of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue. There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry- level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, “Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?” The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands. Question 31. What is the best title of this passage? A. Jobs on Wall Street 157

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 questions from 36 to 42. Research shows that social media has become the primary news source for most people. Whilst social media represents hyper-connectivity, its mechanisms allow for widespread misinformation and the rise of fake news. With more than 3 billion users worldwide, there is no doubt social media represents a revolution in the way we communicate with one another. It may be a convenient, easy and cheap way to access information and stay up-to-date — but it is also a minefield of misinformation and fake news. As social media has become the primary means for businesses, politicians and decision makers to reach their audiences, people are casting newspapers and traditional media aside, instead keeping themselves updated via social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. In the U.S., 67 percent of survey participants say they get their news from social media in general, with 45 percent reporting getting it from Facebook alone. The situation in Europe is a little more encouraging but still gives cause for concern. In the EU, 13 percent of consumers say they stay up to date on European politics via social media, with the figure rising to 16 percent regarding domestic politics. In Sweden and Denmark, social media serves as the main source of information for 30 percent of consumers. This is a particularly worrying problem in emerging markets such as Brazil, India and Nigeria, which are among the biggest markets for WhatsApp and social networks. During the recent presidential elections in Brazil, a study analysed 100,000 images shared via WhatsApp and found that more than half contained misleading or flatly false information. In India, where viral fake news has caused chaos and fatal incidents, WhatsApp is set to run TV advertisements to warn users about the problem. The campaign consists of 60-second films where characters go through real life scenarios and demonstrates how to use WhatsApp tools such as how to leave groups that could be spreading misinformation, and how to block unknown senders. The campaign follows serious criticism of the platform from the Indian government and aims to create wider awareness about the problem ahead of the general elections to be held in India next year. Research by the European Commission showed that 85 percent of EU respondents believe fake news to be a problem in their country, with almost 83 percent perceiving false or misrepresentative information as a threat to democracy. The underlying issue with using social media as a news source is that it blinds

people to a plural discussion, says Matteo Flora, digital identity expert: “Most people are not used to looking into political debates anymore and are confined inside their own social media bubbles, always consuming the same kind of information.” A unilateral news diet leads to unhealthy debate and alienation, so it is important to build platforms online where social media users are exposed to different views and don’t end up victims of algorithms that perpetually feed their timelines with stories only of a certain type.

After twenty years of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue. 168

There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry- level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, “Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?” The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands.

Research shows that social media has become the primary news source for most people. Whilst social media represents hyper-connectivity, its mechanisms allow for widespread misinformation and the rise of fake news.

Question 39: The word "figure" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______. A. human B. image C. number D. media Question 40: According to the WhatsApp TV campaign in paragraph 3, _______.

With more than 3 billion users worldwide, there is no doubt social media represents a revolution in the way we communicate with one another. It may be a convenient, easy and cheap way to access information and stay up-to-date — but it is also a minefield of misinformation and fake news. As social media has become the primary means for businesses, politicians and decision makers to reach their audiences, people are casting newspapers and traditional media aside, instead keeping themselves updated via social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. In the U.S., 67 percent of survey participants say they get their news from social media in general, with 45 percent reporting getting it from Facebook alone. The situation in Europe is a little more encouraging but still gives cause for concern. In the EU, 13 percent of consumers say they stay up to date on European politics via social media, with the figure rising to 16 percent regarding domestic politics. In Sweden and Denmark, social media serves as the main source of information for 30 percent of consumers.

A. users will learn how to adjust their newsfeed to ignore harmful information B. more than half of the images on the platform are designed to be deceptive

This is a particularly worrying problem in emerging markets such as Brazil, India and Nigeria, which are among the biggest markets for WhatsApp and social networks. During the recent presidential elections in Brazil, a study analysed 100,000 images shared via WhatsApp and found that more than half contained misleading or flatly false information. In India, where viral fake news has caused chaos and fatal incidents, WhatsApp is set to run TV advertisements to warn users about the problem. The campaign consists of 60-second films where characters go through real life scenarios and demonstrates how to use WhatsApp tools such as how to leave groups that could be spreading misinformation, and how to block unknown senders. The campaign follows serious criticism of the platform from the Indian government and aims to create wider awareness about the problem ahead of the general elections to be held in India next year. Research by the European Commission showed that 85 percent of EU respondents believe fake news to be a problem in their country, with almost 83 percent perceiving false or misrepresentative information as a threat to democracy. The underlying issue with using social media as a news source is that it blinds people to a plural discussion, says Matteo Flora, digital identity expert: “Most people are not used to looking into political debates anymore and are confined inside their own social media bubbles, always consuming the same kind of information.” A unilateral news diet leads to unhealthy debate and alienation, so it is important to build platforms online where social media users are exposed to different views and don’t end up victims of algorithms that perpetually feed their timelines with stories only of a certain type. Question 36: Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A. The adverse effects of relying on social media as a primary news source. B. The importance of reading news from a variety of sources. C. The advantages of social media in propagating news to a wider audience. D. Ways in which bad actors manipulate the news stream on social media. Question 37: The word "widespread" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______. A. accurate B. extensive C. satisfactory D. primary Question 38: It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that _______. A. social media has revolutionized news services worldwide

C. users will improve their media literacy by watching the series of 60-second films D. fictional events will be used to improve users’ WhatsApp experience Question 41: The word "it" in paragraph 4 refers to _______. A. underlying issue B. news source C. discussion D. the use of social media Question 42: According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE? A. Social media has been a boon to increased understanding of current events. B. Reliance on social media as a primary news source restricts the widening of opinions. C. Most people use social media to investigate fake news and prevent the spread of misinformation. D. European are better able to utilize social media as a new source than Americans. 3 6

As social media has become the primary means for businesses, politicians and decision makers to reach their audiences, people are casting newspapers and traditional media aside, instead keeping themselves updated via social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. newspaper ~ print media => báo chí là phương tiện in ấn. Để ý đoạn trước có nói Mạng Xã Hội là 1 nơi dễ có nhiều tin tức sai lệch và mọi người đang dần bỏ qua các phương tiện thông tin truyền thống như báo chí.

dọa cho nền dân chủ. Vấn đề cơ bản với việc sử dụng mạng xã hội là một nguồn tin tức đó là nó làm mọi người tranh luận nhiều một cách mù quáng, Matteo Flora, chuyên gia thông tin kỹ thuật số nói: "Hầu hết mọi người không quen với việc điều tra các cuộc tranh luận chính trị nữa mà bị giam hãm trong mớ mạng xã hội của riêng họ, luôn luôn thu nạp cùng một kiểu thông tin". Chế độ thu nạp tin tức đơn phương dẫn đến những cuộc tranh luận và xa lánh không tốt đẹp, do đó điều quan trọng là phải xây dựng các hệ thống trực tuyến nơi mà người dùng mạng xã hội được tiếp xúc với các ý kiến khác nhau và không trở thành nạn nhân của các thuật toán không ngừng hiện nên bảng tin của họ với những loại truyện chỉ có vài kiểu loại.

BÀI DỊCH BÀI ĐỌC 7 CÂU Các nghiên cứu cho thấy rằng mạng xã hội đã trở thành nguồn tin tức chính cho hầu hết mọi người. Trong khi mạng xã hội đại diện cho sự siêu liên kết, cơ chế của nó tạo điều kiện cho sự lan tràn thông tin sai lệch và sự gia tăng của các tin tức không đúng sự thật.

Với hơn 3 triệu người dùng trên khắp thế giới, chắc chắn mạng xã hội là đại diện cho một cuộc cách mạng trong cái cách mà chúng ta liên lạc với nhau. Nó có thể là một cách tiện lợi, dễ dàng và rẻ để tiếp cận thông tin và luôn được cập nhật - nhưng nó cũng là một bãi mìn của những thông tin sai và những tin tức giả. Khi mạng xã hội đã trở thành phương tiện chủ yếu cho các doanh nghiệp, các chính trị gia, và những người ra quyết định tiếp cận với đối tượng của mình, mọi người đang bỏ lại báo chí và các phương tiện truyền thống sang một bên, thay vào đó họ cập nhật thông tin thông qua các mạng lưới xã hội như Facebook, Twitter hay WhatsApp. Ở Mỹ, 67% những người tham gia khảo sát nói rằng họ lấy tin tức từ các mạng xã hội nói chung, với 45% nói rằng họ chỉ lấy tin tức từ Facebook. Tình trạng này ở châu Âu thì khả quan hơn một chút nhưng vẫn gây ra những mối lo. Tại các nước EU, 13% người tiêu dung nói rằng họ cập nhật tin tức về nền chính trị châu Âu thông qua mạng xã hội với con số lên tới 16% quan têm đến chính trị trong nước. Tại Thụy Điển và Đan Mạch, mạng xã hội có vai trò là nguồn cung cấp thông tin chính cho 30% người tiêu dùng. Điều này đang là một mối lo đặc biệt ở các thị trường đang nổi lên như Brazil, Ấn Độ và Nigeria, các nước này nằm trong số các thị trường lớn nhất của WhatsApp và mạng lưới xã hội. Trong các cuộc bầu cử tổng thống gần đây ở Brazil, một cuộc nghiên cứu phân tích 100.000 hình ảnh được chia sẻ qua WhatsApp và thấy rằng hơn một nửa trong số đó chứa những thông tin lệch lạc hay sai hoàn toàn. Ở Ấn Độ, nơi mà tin tức giả về vi-rút đã gây ra sự hỗn loạn và những sự kiện chết người, WhatsApp đã được cài đặt để chạy những bài quảng cáo cảnh báo người dùng về vấn đề đó. Chiến dịch bao gồm những bộ phim 60 giây trong đó các nhân vật trải qua những tình huống đời thực và miêu tả cách sử dụng các công cụ của WhatsApp như làm thế nào để rời bỏ các nhóm có thể đang truyền bá các thông tin sai lệch, và làm thế nào để chặn người gửi không rõ danh tính. Chiến dịch đã kế tiếp những lời chỉ trích nghiêm trọng về hệ thống mạng từ chính phủ Ấn Độ và có mục đích tạo ra nhận thức rộng hơn về vấn đề trước cuộc tổng tuyển cử diễn ra ở Ấn Độ năm sau. Nghiên cứu thực hiện bởi Ủy ban châu Âu cho thấy rằng 85% người được hỏi tin rằng các tin tức sai lệch là một vấn đề của nước họ với gần 83% nhận thức được rằng thông tin sai và lệch lạc là mối đe 173

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35. Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is the website called HappyNews. The man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews because he thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world. Reese said about HappyNews, “The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad news, misery, and despair. We’re trying to balance out the scale.” Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems in today’s society. Then they are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their daily lives. Reese said that HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems. HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world. By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60 percent of those readers were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites, HappyNews gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis.

It doesn’t tell them about important issues or problems. B. Reese’s stories are about misery and despair. C. Some sources give a balanced view. D. The stories are from around the world. Question 35: What does “exaggerating” mean in this reading? A. improving B. explaining C. editing D. worsening Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42. A letter of application is a sales letter in which you are both salesperson and product, for the purpose of an application is to attract an employer's attention and persuade him or her to grant you an interview. To do this, the letter presents what you can offer the employer, rather than what you want from the job. Like a résumé, the letter of application is a sample of your work and an opportunity to demonstrate your skills and personality. If it is written with flair and understanding and prepared with professional care, it is likely to be very effective. While the résumé must be factual, objective, and brief, the letter is your chance to interpret and expand. It should state explicitly how your background relates to the specific job, and it should emphasise your strongest and most relevant characteristics. The letter should demonstrate that you know both yourself and the company. The letter of application must communicate your ambition and enthusiasm. Yet it must be modest. It should be neither aggressive nor compliant: neither pat yourself on the back nor ask for sympathy. It should never express dissatisfaction with the present or former job or employer. And you should avoid discussing your reasons for leaving your last job. Finally, it is best that you not broach the subject on salary. Indeed, even if a job advertisement requires that you mention your salary requirements, it is advisable simply to call them "negotiable." However, when you go on an interview, you should be prepared to mention a salary range. For this reason, you should investigate both your field and, if possible, the particular company. You don't want to ask for less than you deserve or more than is reasonable.

We all know that the Earth is getting warmer and warmer. This problem is called “global warming”. We also know that global warming is causing a lot of problems. Ocean levels are getting higher and higher. Because ocean levels are getting higher, storms are getting stronger and stronger. This list of problems goes on and on. Animals are suffering a lot because of global warming. Polar bears are suffering more than most animals. This is because polar bears live in the North Pole. In the North Pole, global warming is making ice melt. Polar bears hunt from large pieces of floating ice. They jump off the ice and hunt for food. Polar bears have to swim and find these floating pieces of ice. These days, they have to swim farther to find the floating ice. Many of them don’t have enough energy. They get too tired, and they die in the water. Polar bears are suffering because of other problems, too. Pollution makes their water dirty. Many countries go to the North Pole to look for oil and gas, and they damage the environment of the bears. In addition, when ships sail through the North Pole, they cause a lot of damage. Finally, people hunt and kill too many polar bears. However, melting ice is definitely the biggest problem. Right now, there are about 25,000 polar bears in the world. If global warming continues, there may be only about 12,000 in the year 2050. By the year 2080, that number might be much smaller. It is important to study polar bears. When we learn about polar bears, we also learn about the health of the North Pole. If polar bears are doing well, then the environment in the North Pole is probably healthy. If polar bears are suffering then there are probably serious problems in the North Pole. Right now, governments around the world are working to help polar bears. There are new laws that protect polar bears. However, if global warming continues to get worse, polar bears may disappear forever. Question 31.What could be the best title of the passage?

D. Polar Bears

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 questions from 36 to 42 We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad

186

effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with the personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced work; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal. Question 36. Which of the following statements can best summarize the main idea of the passage? A. Children in general develop at different rate B.

Various ways of teaching should be encouraged in class. Question 37.

Question 39. The word “streaming pupils” means…………… A. the act of putting pupils into classes according to their academic abilities. B. enriching both pupils’ knowledge and experience C. discouraging D helping pupils learn best. Question 40. The word “them” in the paragraph 3 refers to …………. A. ways B. groups C. pupils D. skills Question 41. According to the passage, which of the following is an advantage of mixed – ability teaching? A. Formal class teaching is the important way to give the pupils essential skills such as those to be used in the library. B. Pupils can be hindered from an all-round development C. Pupils as individuals always have the opportunities to work on their own. D. A pupil can be at the bottom of a class. Question 42. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. It’s not good for a bright child to find out that he performs worst in a mixed – ability class. 187

B. Development of pupils as individuals is not the aim of group work. C. Pupils cannot develop in the best way if they are streamed into classes of different intellectual abilities. D. There is no fixed method in teaching pupils to develop themselves to the full.

People think being an artist must be a wonderful way to earn one’s living. And of course, there are lots of great things about working for oneself, at home alone, even in a cold studio like mine. What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to start in the morning. I like to paint as soon as I wake-up, which is always early, but isn’t the same-time every day. And nobody tells me what to wear, or whether I can take the afternoon off and go to a football match. But then, I have no one to chat with when I’m bored, no one to discuss last night’s match with during the office lunch hour. Sure, I can spend the afternoon doing something I enjoy like cycling or gardening if I choose. But the work will still be there when I do finally get back home.

Unfortunately, working at home means that people can always find me, whether I'm bored or not, and once I've answered the doorbell, it’s too late - my thoughts have been interrupted. No one would dream of calling in if I worked in an office, but I find myself listening to friends' troubles. As they talk, my ideas disappear and I feel increasingly stressed thinking of my work waiting to be done. However, when I hear the traffic news on the radio, and imagine my friends sitting miserably in their cars in a jam, feeling bored, or waiting unhappily for an overcrowded tram in the rain, I realize that I really haven’t got much to complain about.

C. they are watchful and quiet Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop. Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist- skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word. The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees. Question 44: The title for this passage could be __________. A. Animal Life in a Desert Environment B. Desert Plants C. Man’s Life in a Desert Environment

. B. living things adjust to their environment D. water is the basis of desert life

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 questions from 31 to 35.

Question 20: Professor Berg was very interested in the diversity of cultures all over the word. A. changes B. conservation C. variety D. number Question 21: Unfortunately, we had a lot of bad weather recently and an extraordinary amount of games were call off.

Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that body language varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected

199

200

to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In other cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect. Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In North America people don't generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two NorthAmericans who don't know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas South Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them. Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or move any other part of the body – to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean that people all over the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same gestures can communicate different meanings, depending on the country. An example of a gesture that could be misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some places it communicates ridicule. intimacy misinterpreted it. The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough to learn the language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate successfully. (Adapted from "Reading Academic English"by Judy Rapoport, Ronit Broder and Sarah Feingold) Question 31: What is the passage mainly about? A. Misunderstandings in communication B. Interpretations of gestures in different cultures C. The significance of non-verbal signals in America D.

A. to use the body language of the people from that culture B. to learn both the language and non-verbal signals of that culture C. to learn only non-verbal signals of that culture D. to travel to as many countries as possible Question 35: Which form of body language is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. distance B. posture C. gesture D. eye movement 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 questions from 36 to 42. The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and particularly indigenous societies, the latter is the most common basic form of social organization. A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family. The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not 201

covered by the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization. The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage. Anthropologically, the term "extended family" refers to such a group living together in a household, often with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term "extended family" is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a single group.

Đáp án A là phù hợp nhất vì có sự đồng nhất ý kiến với vế sau của câu trả lời, thể hiện sự đồng ý tán thành 26: Đáp án C Kiến thức về từ vựng A. custom /ˈkʌs.təm/ (n): phong tục, tập quán B. tradition /trəˈdɪʃn/ (n): truyền thống C. notion /ˈnoʊʃn/ (n): quan niệm, niềm tin, ý tưởng hoặc sự hiểu biết về cái gì D. trend /trend/ (n): xu hướng, phương hướng Tạm dịch: “The first thing that is included in the “living together” (1)___________ is the expected good relations with your family.” (Điều đầu tiên được bao gồm trong quan niệm “sống chung” là niềm mong đợi về các mối quan hệ tốt đẹp trong gia đình bạn.) 27: Đáp án A Kiến thức về lượng từ Tạm dịch: “Lots of people think that everyone should share the housework (2)________, but in many homes parents do most of it.” (Nhiều người nghĩ rằng mỗi thành viên nên chia sẻ việc nhà một cách đồng đều cho nhau, nhưng trong nhiều gia đình thì cha mẹ làm hầu hết mọi việc.) 28: Đáp án A Kiến thức về liên từ A.

(Theo nhiều quan điểm nhất định, nhiều gia đình không thể chia sẻ việc nhà cho nhau trong khi lẽ ra họ nên làm vậy. Trên thực tế, chia sẻ việc nhà một cách đồng đều giữa các thành viên là điều dường như không thể bởi vì thời gian biểu của các gia đình. Do đó, theo cách nào đó người ta tin rằng con cái và cha mẹ phải cùng nhau làm mọi việc. Để làm được điều này họ có thể thiết lập một kế hoạch cho công việc nhà cửa. Thêm vào đó, những đóng góp trong việc nhà của thanh thiếu niên cũng làm cho họ trở nên có trách nhiệm hơn.) Vì hai đoạn văn nối với nhau có ý tưởng trợ, bổ sung lẫn nhau nên ta chọn A. 29: Đáp án C Kiến thức về đại từ chỉ định Xét cấu trúc câu: “According to researchers, teenagers should share the housework because (4) _______ will help them when they have to establish their own family in the future.” (Theo các nhà nghiên cứu, thanh thiếu niên nên sẻ chia việc nhà cho nhau bởi vì điều đó sẽ giúp ích cho họ khi họ phải lập gia đình riêng cho mình trong tương lai.) Nhận thấy câu có ba vế có chủ vị rõ ràng được nối với nhau bởi hai liên từ là “because” và “when”. Do đó đây không phải dạng đại từ quan hệ nên loại A, D. Vị trí cần điền là một đại từ chỉ định để thay thế cho mệnh đề phía trước “teenagers should share the housework”. Người ta dùng đại từ chỉ định “that” để thay thế cho điều đã nói phía trước khi họ không muốn lặp lại câu đó bởi sẽ làm câu nói lủng củng, rườm rà. 30: Đáp án D Kiến thức về từ vựng Xét các đáp án: A. likely /ˈlaɪkli/ (adv) = probably: có thể, có khả năng xảy ra hoặc trở thành hiện thực B. probably /ˈprɑːbəbli/ (adv): có thể, có khả năng xảy ra hoặc trở thành hiện thực C. auspiciously /ɔːˈspɪʃəsli/ (adv): có khả năng thành công trong tương lai D. possibly /ˈpɒsəbli/ (adv): có thể (ở mức độ không chắc chắn) Người ta dùng “possibly” đi với “can (’t)/could(n’t)” trong câu để nhấn mạnh khả năng cái gì có khả năng/không có khả năng làm gì. Tạm dịch: “It can be (5) ___________ concluded that many parents don’t really prepare their children for future, because they don’t stimulate them to learn how to run a house.” (Có thể kết luận rằng nhiều cha mẹ không thực sự chuẩn bị cho tương lai con cái họ, bởi vì họ không khích lệ con cái mình học cách làm như nào để quán xuyến việc nhà.) Cấu trúc cần lưu ý: -Stimulate sb to do sth: khích lệ, kích thích ai làm gì -Run a house: quán xuyến việc nhà 31:Đáp án D Nội dung chính của đoạn văn là gì? A. Sự hiểu nhầm trong giao tiếp B. Sự giải mã ý nghĩa các cử chỉ động tác trong các nền văn hóa khác nhau. C. Tầm quan trọng của các dấu hiệu phi lời ở nước Mỹ D.Giao tiếp phi lời qua các nền văn hóa Dẫn chứng (đoạn 1): Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that body language varies in different cultures: Ta thấy ngay đầu đoạn đầu tiên tác giả đã nhấn mạnh việc ngôn ngữ cơ thể có sự khác nhau ở các nền văn hóa khác nhau. Các đoạn văn tiếp theo làm rõ hơn sự đa dạng này của ngôn ngữ cơ thể cũng như cử chỉ, động tác – các hình thức giao tiếp phi lời. Vậy ở đây phương án phù hợp nhất là D. 32:Đáp án D Từ “misinterpreted” trong đoạn văn 3 có nghĩa gần nhất với _______ mispronounced: phát âm sai misbehaved: cư xử sai phép tắc misspelled: đánh vần sai 209

misunderstood: hiểu sai Ta thấy: misinterprete (v): giải nghĩa sai, hiểu sai = misunderstand (v) Vậy ta chọn đáp án đúng là D. 33:Đáp án C Từ “it” trong đoạn 3 ý chỉ the country: quốc gia an example: một ví dụ to stick out the tongue: thè lưỡi to make a mistake: phạm một sai lầm Dẫn chứng (đoạn 3): An example of a gesture that could be is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some places it communicates ridicule: Một ví dụ của động tác (có ý nghĩa khác nhau trong các nền văn hóa khác hau) là việc thè lưỡi. Ở nhiều nền văn hóa, nó là một dấu hiệu của việc mắc lỗi sai nhưng ở một số nơi nó biểu thị sự giễu cợt. Như vậy dựa vào dẫn chứng trên ta chọn đáp án đúng là C. 34:Đáp án B Như được chỉ ra trong đoạn văn, để giao tiếp một cách hiệu quả với người đến từ một nền văn hóa khác thì một người được khuyên nên A. sử dụng ngôn ngữ cơ thể của người đến từ nền văn hóa đó B. học cả ngôn ngữ và những dấu hiệu phi lời của nền văn hóa đó C. chỉ học những dấu hiệu phi lời của nền văn hóa đó D. đi du lịch đến càng nhiều quốc gia càng tốt Dẫn chứng (đoạn cuối): Obviously, it is not enough to learn the language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate successfully: Rõ rang rằng, học ngôn ngữ của một nền văn hóa khác là không đủ. Bạn cũng cần phải học cả những dấu hiệu phi lời nếu muốn giao tiếp hiệu quả. Vậy dựa vào dẫn chứng trên ta chọn đáp án đúng là B. 35:Đáp án B Hình thức nào của ngôn ngữ cơ thể KHÔNG được nhắc tới trong đoạn văn? distance: khoảng cách posture: tư thế gesture: cử chỉ động tác eye movement: chuyển động mắt Các hình thức của ngôn ngữ cơ thể xuất hiện trong đoạn văn là: 1. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. 2. Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. 3. Gestures are often used to communicate. Như vậy chỉ có “posture” là không xuất hiện nên ta chọn đáp án đúng là B. 36: Đáp án C CHỦ ĐỀ FAMILY Ý chính của bài là gì? A. Sự vượt trội của các gia đình hạt nhân so với các gia đình mởrộng. B. Sự vượt trội của các gia đình mở rộng đối với các gia đình hạtnhân. C. Sự khác biệt giữa các gia đình hạt nhân và các gia đình mởrộng. D. Sự thay đổi của các loại gia đình theo thờigian.

Người ta dùng đại từ chỉ định “that” để thay thế cho điều đã nói phía trước khi họ không muốn lặp lại câu đó bởi sẽ làm câu nói lủng củng, rườm rà. 30: Đáp án D Kiến thức về từ vựng Xét các đáp án: A. likely /ˈlaɪkli/ (adv) = probably: có thể, có khả năng xảy ra hoặc trở thành hiện thực B. probably /ˈprɑːbəbli/ (adv): có thể, có khả năng xảy ra hoặc trở thành hiện thực C. auspiciously /ɔːˈspɪʃəsli/ (adv): có khả năng thành công trong tương lai D. possibly /ˈpɒsəbli/ (adv): có thể (ở mức độ không chắc chắn) Người ta dùng “possibly” đi với “can (’t)/could(n’t)” trong câu để nhấn mạnh khả năng cái gì có khả năng/không có khả năng làm gì. Tạm dịch: “It can be (5) ___________ concluded that many parents don’t really prepare their children for future, because they don’t stimulate them to learn how to run a house.” 217

(Có thể kết luận rằng nhiều cha mẹ không thực sự chuẩn bị cho tương lai con cái họ, bởi vì họ không khích lệ con cái mình học cách làm như nào để quán xuyến việc nhà.) Cấu trúc cần lưu ý: -Stimulate sb to do sth: khích lệ, kích thích ai làm gì -Run a house: quán xuyến việc nhà 31:Đáp án D Nội dung chính của đoạn văn là gì? A. Sự hiểu nhầm trong giao tiếp B. Sự giải mã ý nghĩa các cử chỉ động tác trong các nền văn hóa khác nhau. C. Tầm quan trọng của các dấu hiệu phi lời ở nước Mỹ D.Giao tiếp phi lời qua các nền văn hóa Dẫn chứng (đoạn 1): Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that body language varies in different cultures: Ta thấy ngay đầu đoạn đầu tiên tác giả đã nhấn mạnh việc ngôn ngữ cơ thể có sự khác nhau ở các nền văn hóa khác nhau. Các đoạn văn tiếp theo làm rõ hơn sự đa dạng này của ngôn ngữ cơ thể cũng như cử chỉ, động tác – các hình thức giao tiếp phi lời. Vậy ở đây phương án phù hợp nhất là D. 32:Đáp án D Từ “misinterpreted” trong đoạn văn 3 có nghĩa gần nhất với _______ mispronounced: phát âm sai misbehaved: cư xử sai phép tắc misspelled: đánh vần sai misunderstood: hiểu sai Ta thấy: misinterprete (v): giải nghĩa sai, hiểu sai = misunderstand (v) Vậy ta chọn đáp án đúng là D. 33:Đáp án C Từ “it” trong đoạn 3 ý chỉ the country: quốc gia an example: một ví dụ to stick out the tongue: thè lưỡi to make a mistake: phạm một sai lầm Dẫn chứng (đoạn 3): An example of a gesture that could be is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some places it communicates ridicule: Một ví dụ của động tác (có ý nghĩa khác nhau trong các nền văn hóa khác hau) là việc thè lưỡi. Ở nhiều nền văn hóa, nó là một dấu hiệu của việc mắc lỗi sai nhưng ở một số nơi nó biểu thị sự giễu cợt. Như vậy dựa vào dẫn chứng trên ta chọn đáp án đúng là C. 34:Đáp án B Như được chỉ ra trong đoạn văn, để giao tiếp một cách hiệu quả với người đến từ một nền văn hóa khác thì một người được khuyên nên A. sử dụng ngôn ngữ cơ thể của người đến từ nền văn hóa đó B. học cả ngôn ngữ và những dấu hiệu phi lời của nền văn hóa đó C. chỉ học những dấu hiệu phi lời của nền văn hóa đó D. đi du lịch đến càng nhiều quốc gia càng tốt Dẫn chứng (đoạn cuối): Obviously, it is not enough to learn the language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate successfully: Rõ rang rằng, học ngôn ngữ của một nền văn hóa khác là không đủ. Bạn cũng cần phải học cả những dấu hiệu phi lời nếu muốn giao tiếp hiệu quả. Vậy dựa vào dẫn chứng trên ta chọn đáp án đúng là B. 35:Đáp án B Hình thức nào của ngôn ngữ cơ thể KHÔNG được nhắc tới trong đoạn văn? distance: khoảng cách posture: tư thế gesture: cử chỉ động tác eye movement: chuyển động mắt 218

Các hình thức của ngôn ngữ cơ thể xuất hiện trong đoạn văn là: 1. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. 2. Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. 3. Gestures are often used to communicate. Như vậy chỉ có “posture” là không xuất hiện nên ta chọn đáp án đúng là B. 36: Đáp án C CHỦ ĐỀ FAMILY Ý chính của bài là gì? E. Sự vượt trội của các gia đình hạt nhân so với các gia đình mởrộng. F.

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no – it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfilment. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are – and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life – can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfilment of your fall.

Don’t judge a life by one difficult season. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. 223

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42 Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not too far off. A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology intersects with teen friendships—and the results show that 57 percent of teens have made at least one new friend online. Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever meet in person. While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a daily basis (outside of school hallways). These new forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships day-to-day —27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main form of communication —almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their closest friend. While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and maintaining friendships) in the gaming world—89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play with onlineonly friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online gamers say that playing makes them feel "more connected" to friends they know, or gamers they've never met. When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity—62 percent of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend (although 80 percent still consider their phone number the best method of contact). Despite the negative consequences—21 percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of posts they see on social 225

(Theo nhiều quan điểm nhất định, nhiều gia đình không thể chia sẻ việc nhà cho nhau trong khi lẽ ra họ nên làm vậy. Trên thực tế, chia sẻ việc nhà một cách đồng đều giữa các thành viên là điều dường như không thể bởi vì thời gian biểu của các gia đình. Do đó, theo cách nào đó người ta tin rằng con cái và cha mẹ phải cùng nhau làm mọi việc. Để làm được điều này họ có thể thiết lập một kế hoạch cho công việc nhà cửa. Thêm vào đó, những đóng góp trong việc nhà của thanh thiếu niên cũng làm cho họ trở nên có trách nhiệm hơn.) Vì hai đoạn văn nối với nhau có ý tưởng trợ, bổ sung lẫn nhau nên ta chọn A. Question 29: Đáp án C Kiến thức về đại từ chỉ định Xét cấu trúc câu:

ĐÁP ÁN CHI TIẾT BÀI ĐỌC.

“According to researchers, teenagers should share the housework because (4) _______ will help them when they have to establish their own family in the future.” (Theo các nhà nghiên cứu, thanh thiếu niên nên sẻ chia việc nhà cho nhau bởi vì điều đó sẽ giúp ích cho họ khi họ phải lập gia đình riêng cho mình trong tương lai.)

Question 26.Kiến thức về từ vựng A. custom /ˈkʌs.təm/ (n): phong tục, tập quán B. tradition /trəˈdɪʃn/ (n): truyền thống D. trend /trend/ (n): xu hướng, phương hướng

Nhận thấy câu có ba vế có chủ vị rõ ràng được nối với nhau bởi hai liên từ là “because” và “when”. Do đó đây không phải dạng đại từ quan hệ nên loại A, D. Vị trí cần điền là một đại từ chỉ định để thay thế cho mệnh đề phía trước “teenagers should share the housework”.

Tạm dịch: “The first thing that is included in the “living together” (1)___________ is the expected good relations with your family.”

Người ta dùng đại từ chỉ định “that” để thay thế cho điều đã nói phía trước khi họ không muốn lặp lại câu đó bởi sẽ làm câu nói lủng củng, rườm rà.

(Điều đầu tiên được bao gồm trong quan niệm “sống chung” là niềm mong đợi về các mối quan hệ tốt đẹp trong gia đình bạn.)

Kiến thức về từ vựng

C. notion /ˈnoʊʃn/ (n): quan niệm, niềm tin, ý tưởng hoặc sự hiểu biết về cái gì

Question 30: Đáp án D

Question 27: Đáp án D

Xét các đáp án:

Kiến thức về từ loại

A. likely /ˈlaɪkli/ (adv) = probably: có thể, có khả năng xảy ra hoặc trở thành hiện thực

A. equal /ˈiːkwəl/ (a): công bằng, đồng đều

B. probably /ˈprɑːbəbli/ (adv): có thể, có khả năng xảy ra hoặc trở thành hiện thực

B. equalize /ˈiːkwəlaɪz/ (v): làm cho công bằng, làm cho bằng nhau (về số lượng, kích cỡ,…)

C. auspiciously /ɔːˈspɪʃəsli/ (adv): có khả năng thành công trong tương lai

C. equality /iˈkwɒləti/ (n): sự công bằng, đồng đều

D. possibly /ˈpɒsəbli/ (adv): có thể (ở mức độ không chắc chắn)

D. equally /ˈiːkwəli/ (adv): một cách đồng đều nhau, như nhau; tương tự Vị trí cần điền là một trạng từ để bổ nghĩa cho động từ “share” nên ta chọn D.

Người ta dùng “possibly” đi với “can (’t)/could(n’t)” trong câu để nhấn mạnh khả năng cái gì có khả năng/không có khả năng làm gì.

Tạm dịch: “Lots of people think that everyone should share the housework (2)________, but in many homes parents do most of it.”

Tạm dịch: “It can be (5) ___________ concluded that many parents don’t really prepare their children for future, because they don’t stimulate them to learn how to run a house.”

(Nhiều người nghĩ rằng mỗi thành viên nên chia sẻ việc nhà một cách đồng đều cho nhau, nhưng trong nhiều gia đình thì cha mẹ làm hầu hết mọi việc.)

(Có thể kết luận rằng nhiều cha mẹ không thực sự chuẩn bị cho tương lai con cái họ, bởi vì họ không khích lệ con cái mình học cách làm như nào để quán xuyến việc nhà.)

Question 28: Đáp án A

Cấu trúc cần lưu ý:

Kiến thức về liên từ

-Stimulate sb to do sth: khích lệ, kích thích ai làm gì

A. In addition: thêm vào đó

-Run a house: quán xuyến việc nhà

B. However: tuy nhiên C. In contrast: trái lại, trái với

Question 31: Đáp án A

D. In case: phòng khi; trong trường hợp

Đâu là tiêu đề thích hợp nhất cho bài văn?

Tạm dịch: “To certain minds, many families can’t share the housework whereas they should try it. In fact, sharing the housework equally is not very possible because of the families’ timetable. So, it is somehow

B. Quan sát một cái cây.

231

A. Các mùa trong cuộc đời.

232

C. Cha và bốn người con.

C. Tuổi già của con người tương tự như mùa đông của thiên nhiên.

D. Hãy yêu quý cả bốn mùa của năm. Giải thích:

D. Kiên trì vượt qua những khó khăn và quãng thời gian tốt đẹp hơn chắc chắn sẽ đến một lúc nào đó không sớm thì muộn.

- Đáp án A đúng vì nó là ẩn ý sau câu chuyện của người cha, dùng cây để nói về đời người.

Căn cứ vào thông tin đoạn cuối:

- Đáp án B sai vì nó không nói được ẩn dụ đằng sau mà chỉ đơn giản tường thuật.

Don’t judge a life by one difficult season. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.(Đừng đánh giá cả một cuộc đời bằng một mùa khó khăn. Đừng để nỗi đau của một mùa phá hủy niềm vui của tất cả những mùa còn lại.)

- Đáp án C sai vì mẫu “Cha và bốn người con” có thể chỉ một câu chuyện khác với bài học khác. - Đáp án D sai vì bài văn không chỉ đơn giản là nói về cây.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are – and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life – can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. (Ông ấy đã nói với họ rằng mình không thể phán xét một cái cây, hay một người, chỉ bằng một mùa, và bản chất của chúng là gì - và ước mơ, niềm vui và tình yêu, cái đến từ cuộc sống đó - chỉ có thể được xác định vào lúc cuối, khi tất cả các mùa đều đến.)

Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era, which is known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge. The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning "terrible lizard". Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern—day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however, some were actually no larger than a chicken. Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaur to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth's climate. It is believed that temperature dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive. Question 31: What is the best title for this passage? A. The Domination of the Land B. The Metabolism of Dinosaurs C. Earth's Largest Reptiles D. The History of Earth Question 32: It can be inferred from the passage that the Age of Reptiles lasted about A. 200 million years B. 135 million years C. 80millionyears D. 65 million years Question 33: The author uses the phrase "never to reemerge" to indicate that the dinosaurs A. became extinct B. went into hiding

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 questions from 36 to 42. In Science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced. A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small particles that are in constant motion. A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observation, helps to predict events that have not as yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or rejected.

Science involves imagination and Creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not Science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks. but a collection of facts cannot be called Science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house." Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible Solutions to the problem are formulated. These possible Solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories. Question 36: Which of the following is the main subject of the passage? A. The importance of models in scientific theories. B. The sorts of facts that scientists find most interesting. C. The ways that scientists perform different types of experiments. D. The place of theory and hypothesis in scientific investigation.

If she does not get up early to prepare breakfast, her children will not come to school on time. D. Unless she gets up early to prepare breakfast, her children will not come to school on.
