Question 11: Juan Manuel Santos was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 2016 for his resolute efforts to bring the country’s more than 50-year-long civil war to an end. A. determined B. sure C. original D. certain 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 Thunderstorms, with their jagged bursts of lightning and roaring thunder, are actually one of nature’s primary mechanisms for transferring heat from the surface of the earth into the atmosphere. A thunderstorm starts when low-lying pockets of warm air from the surface of the earth begin to rise. The pockets of warm air float upward through the air above that is both cooler and heavier. The rising pockets cool as their pressure decreases, and their latent heat is released above the condensation line through the formation of cumulus clouds. What will happen with these clouds depends on the temperature of the atmosphere. In winter, the air temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes is not extremely great, and the temperature of the rising air mass drops more slowly. During these colder months, the atmosphere, therefore, tends to remain rather stable. In summer, however, when there is a high accumulation of heat near the earth’s surface, in direct contrast to the considerably colder air higher up, the temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes is much more pronounced. As warm air rises in this type of environment, the temperature drops much more rapidly than it does in winter; when the temperature drops more than 4 degrees Fahrenheit per thousand feet of altitude, cumulus clouds aggregate into a single massive cumulonimbus cloud, or thunderhead. In isolation, a single thunderstorm is an impressive but fairly benign way for Mother Earth to defuse trapped heat from her surface; thunderstorms, however, can appear in concert, and the resulting show, while extremely impressive, can also prove extraordinarily destructive. When there is a large-scale collision between cold air and warm air masses during the summer months, a squall line, or series of thunderheads, may develop. It is common for a squall line to begin when an advancing cold front meets up with and forces itself under a layer of warm and moist air, creating a line of thunderstorms that races forward at speeds of approximately forty miles per hour. A squall line, which can be hundreds of miles long and can contain fifty distinct thunderheads, is a magnificent force of nature with incredible potential for destruction.

5

Question 12: The topic of the passage is _.

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 Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810, a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of canning. And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year. Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing urban population created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890’s, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. As easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavily in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare. Question 32: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Causes of food spoilage B. Commercial production of ice C. Inventions that led to changes in the American diet D. Population movements in nineteenth century Question 33: The phrase “in season” in paragraph 1 refers to A. a kind of weather B. a particular time of year C. an official schedule D. a method of flavoring food 9


Question 34: The word “prevent” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to A. estimate B. avoid C. correct D. confine Question 35: During the 1860’s, canned food products were A. unavailable in rural areas B. shipped in refrigerator cans C. available in limited quantities D. a staple part of the American diet Question 36: It can be inferred that railroad refrigerator cars came into use A. before 1860 B. before 1890 C. after 1900 D. after 1920 Question 37: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to A. refrigerator cars B. perishables C. growers D. distances Question 38: The author implies that in the 1920’s and 1930’s home deliveries of ice A. decreased in number B. were on an irregular schedule C. increased in cost D. occurred only in the summer Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions. Question 39: A. approached B. sacrificed C. unwrapped D. obliged Question 40: A. private B. marriage C. romantic D. attract Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word(s) to each of the questions Last year, there were millions of international tourist arrivals across the globe. Whether they were students on their (41) years looking for overseas adventure, stressed-out workers hoping to get away for a weekend, or retirees (42) to relax in an exotic location- clearly none of them thought they could find the same experience at home. The question is whether foreign travel brings more advantages or disadvantages. 10


An obvious positive point is that going abroad sometimes helps people to expand their knowledge of the world. If they are (43) - minded, they can learn about new cultures and hopefully gain a more accurate understanding about their way of life. In addition, there is the economic benefit of tourism to countries which have few other resources. It can provide an income to many people within the industry. Having said that, some people simply go to a foreign resort (44) by high walls and therefore learn little about their holiday (45) . Another issue is that hordes of tourists often spoil the “unspoilt” places they visit. The most recent example of this is Antarctica, where last year cruise ships took thousands of visitors to view the disappearing icebergs and wildlife. Vegetation, nesting penguins and resting walrus are vulnerable when humans intrude. Question 41: A. space B. break C. pause D. gap Question 42: A. wish B. wished C. wishing D. to wish Question 43: A. open B. narrow C. absent D. single Question 44: A. covered B. surrounded C. sheltered D. stopped Question 45: A. direction B. destination C. departure D. situation Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions. Question 46: Had the advertisement for our product been better, more people would have bought it. A. Not many people bought our product because it was so bad. B. Our product was of better quality so that more people would buy it. C. Fewer people bought our product due to its bad quality. D. Since the advertisement for our product was so bad, fewer people bought it. Question 47: “How beautiful you are today!” he said. A. He complimented her on being beautiful today. B. He said to me that she was beautiful that day. C. He complimented her on being beautiful that day. D. He complemented her on being beautiful that day. Question 48: The sooner we solve this problem, the better it will be for all concernd. A. If all concerned are better, we can solve this problem soon. B. If we could solve this problem soon, it would be better for all concerned. C. If we can solve this problem soon, it will be better for all concerned. D. It would be better for all concerned if we can solve this problem soon. Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the other three in the position of primary stress in each of the following questions. 11

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 that follow. SINGLE-PARENT FAMILY One of the most striking changes in family structure over the last twenty years has been the increase of single parent families. In this family there is only one parent in the household raising the children. Due to high divorce rates and adults choosing not to marry, this is currently the fastest growing family form in North America. More than half of all children will spend some of their lives in a single-parent family. Currently, 88 percent of these families are headed by women. In 1970, the number of single parent families with children under the age of 18 was 3.8 million; by 1990 the number had more than doubled to 9.7 million. For the first time in history, children are most likely to live in a single parent family for reasons other than the death of a parent. One in four children are born with their mothers not married, usually teenage mothers. One of the most expensive things for a single parent is child care. 27


Too often children living in single parent households have to contend with negative stereotypes and hurtful remarks made by insensitive adults. Regardless of whether the single parent family exists as a result of divorce or death of the other parent, or the parent choosing not to marry, the child is clearly not responsible for the circumstances. However, it is often the child who pays the price. On the other hand, single families often have less tension compared to the tension in families before divorce. With reduced tension, the single parent can focus more clearly on the child's needs. Usually parents and children are more willing to co-operate with each other to find solutions to solve household problems in single parent families. Câu 22. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. the upward trend of single-parent families B. the increase of women heading a family C. the most striking change in family structure D. the increase of single-parents due to divorce rate in North America Câu 23. According to paragraph 2, which statement is TRUE about single parent families today? A. It only results from the death of one parent. B. The figure for 1990 was nearly twice as much as that for 1970. C. 20% of children were born with teenage single moms. D. Its number is experiencing a decline for the first time in its history. Câu 24. The sentence "However, it is often the child who pays the price" probably means _______. A. Children have to pay all the costs of child-caring in single parent families. B. Child-caring in a single parent family is very expensive. C. Children are held responsible for the circumstances. D. Children are the ones who suffer although they are not the ones to be blamed. Câu 25. According to paragraph 1, which statement is NOT TRUE about single parent families? A. It is the fastest growing family form world-wide B. There is only one parent in a single parent family. C. Over 50% of all children spend some time in their life in a single parent family. D. Approximately 9 out of 10 single parent families are headed by mothers. Câu 26. The word "hurtful" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by _______. A. worried B. shocking C. painful 28


D. touching Câu 27. According to paragraph 3, what is NOT one advantage of a single parent family over a family before divorce? A. There is better focus on the child's needs. B. There is higher level of tension between family members. C. There is less stress in a single family than in a family before divorce. D. There is more cooperation between the single parent and his/ her child. Câu 28. The word "this" in paragraph 1 refers to _______. A. single parent B. structure C. change D. increase Câu 29. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The advantages and disadvantages of single parent families. B. The negative impacts of single parent families on children. C. The problems of single parent familes and some suggested sollutions. D. The causes and effects of single parent families. VII. Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the other three in the position of primary stress in each of the following questions. Câu 30. A. alternative B. respiratory C. acupuncture D. original Câu 31. A. pyramid B. stimulate C. digestive D. skeleton VIII. 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 that follow. The relationship between skin problems and stress is rather complicated: skin problems often accompany stress, but it is not the stress itself that directly causes the skin problems. Instead, it is the side effects of stress, such as the use of alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine, that are often to blame. Alcohol consumed in large quantities can cause problems with the skin by increasing the flow of blood to the skin; this makes the skin feel warmer and can really worsen the itching that accompanies conditions such as hives or rosacea. Nicotine and caffeine, on the other hand, cause problem by reducing the supply of blood to the skin; this, in turn, keeps the skin from being properly nourished. 29


The best defense for your skin in times of stress is therefore to take the best possible care of yourself. If, when you are in periods of heavy stress, you consume large quantities of alcohol, or coffee, or if you smoke heavily, it is your skin that will show the results. Câu 32. It can be inferred from the passage that _________. A. people often blame alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine for stress B. People tend to use alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine when in stress C. skin problems often cause stress D. Stress has side effects on the use of alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine. Câu 33. How does caffeine irritate the skin? A. It increases the flow of blood to the skin. B. It prevents the skin from receiving enough nourishment. C. It causes stress. D. It causes increased consumption of alcohol. Câu 34. According to the passage, when you are in times of stress, _________. A. consume large quantities of alcohol or coffee B. your skin will show you what happens C. your skin will suffer from itching D. take good care of yourself Câu 35. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Nicotine and caffeine help to keep the skin well nourished B. People usually use alcohol, tobacco and caffeine when in stress. C. The side effects of stress cause skin problems. D. The consumption of alcohol can cause an uncomfortable feeling on your skin. Câu 36. What is the topic of the passage? A. The effects of alcohol on health B. How to achieve optimal health C. How to reduce nicotine and other D. How stress affects the skin addictions Câu 37. The word "nourished" in the passage can be best replaced by which of the following ______. A. cultivated B. nurtured C. provided D. starved Câu 38. Which of the following can worsen itching? 30


A. A reduced supply of blood B. Nicotine C. Caffeine D. Alcohol IX.

Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did. Born in West Hartford, Connecticut, in 1758, his name has become synonymous with American dictionaries. Graduated from Yale in 1778, he was admitted to the bar in 1781 and thereafter began to practice law in Harford. Later, when he turned to teaching, he discovered how inadequate the available schoolbooks were for the children of a new and independent nation In response to the need for truly American textbooks, Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language, a three-volume work that consisted of speller, a grammar, and a reader. The first volume, which was generally known as The American Spelling Book, was so popular that eventually it sold more than 80 million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of life. While teaching, Webster began work on the Compendious Dictionary of the English Language, which was published in 1806. In 1807, Noah Webster began his greatest work, An American Dictionary of the English Language. In preparing the manuscript, he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages, and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828, An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States. Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings, pronounciations, and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing simplified spelling forms: develop instead of the British form develope, theater and center instead of theatre and centre; color and honor instead of colour and honour. In 1840 Webster brought out a second edition of his dictionary, which included 70.000 entries instead of the original 38.000. This edition has served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced under the Webster name. Question 35: Which of the following would the best title for the passage? A. Webster's Work B. Webster's Dictionary C. Webster's School D. Webster's Life Question 36: The word "inadequate" in the first paragraph could best be replaced by ? 60


A. unavailable B. expensive C. difficult D. unsatisfactory Question 37: Why did Webster write A Grammatical Institutes of the English Language? A. He wanted to supplement his income. B. There were no books available after the Revolutionary War. C. He felt that British books were not appropriate for American children. D. The children did not know how to spell. Question 38: From which publication did Webster earn a lifetime income? A. Compendious Dictionary of the English Language B. An American Dictionary of the English Language C. An American Dictionary of the English Language: Second Edition D. The American Spelling Book Question 39: In how many volumes was An American Dictionary of the English Language published? A. One volume B. Two volumes C. Three volumes D. Four volumes Question 40: When was An American Dictionary of the English Language published ? A. 1817 B. 1807 C. 1828 D. 1824 Question 41: According to the author, what was Webster's purpose in writing An American Dictionary of the English Language? A.

Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburbs. But people in the Australian outback can't get to a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio. This special doctor is called the "flying doctor'. He visits sick people by plane for a special examination. When someone is sick, the doctor has to fly to the person's home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the person's house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year. However, most of the time the person isn't very sick, and the doctor doesn't have to visit. He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center. He can 63


tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest. There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube and packet in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this, "Take two tablets from bottle number 5 every four hours." A man called John Flynn started the Royal Flying Doctor service in 1927. He had only one plane. Today there are 14 flying-doctor centers, 29 planes, 14 fulltime doctors and several parttime doctors, nurses and dentists.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk 70


if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them. Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future plant but should not push them to talk if they don't want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol, or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behaviour which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.

Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult to talk to. A. because most teenagers dislike being questioned. B. because teenagers don't want to talk to other people.

When people talk to them because they are really interested and not just checking on them. B. When adults give them a lot money to spend. C. When adults talk to them about something other than their work in school. D. When adults talk to them about sex, alcohol and drugs. Question 31.

He worked for five years in an office. But his brother, Tom, was a doctor and helped Fleming to go to university and study medicine. So he went to London University and in 1906 he became a doctor. In 1915, Fleming married Sarah McElroy, an Irish woman. They had one son. During the First World War, many soldiers died in hospital because they didn't have the right medicines. So after the war, Fleming tried to find a drug that could help them. He worked for many years and in 1928 he discovered a new drug and he called it "penicillin".

Read the following passage carefully, then write True (T) or False (F) for each statement. The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to get rid of wastes. Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale, and coal tars. But today, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested. Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydropower that provided one third of the elcctricity used in the United States fifty years ago, but today it supplies only 4 per 79


cent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy. Question 29. ......The passage is about the search for alternative sources of energy.

(1,5pt) Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy. Question 1. What does the passage primarily discuss? A. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy. B. Solar energy's advantages over other sources of energy. C. The cost of solar energy. D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels. 85

(1,5pt) Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy. Question 1.

Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels. 109
