correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 52.
A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater, one of the world‟s
largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge
body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its
unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warned by geothermal heat from the earth‟s
core. This thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from frigid temperatures (the lowest ever
recorded on Earth) on the surface.
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the
area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of
indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware
of the tremendous size of the lake; satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice
remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake.
The discovery of such a huge fresh water lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific
community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands
upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have
conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining
uncontaminated sampled from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are
looking for possible ways to accomplish this.

This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just sixteen years after the Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth. Included in the puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than
100 graduates of England‟s prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates
in the New Word were determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they
themselves had had, Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General
Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the following
year decided on a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newtown, which was later
renamed Cambridge after its English cousin and is the site of t he present-day university.
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of Charlestown,
died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college. In spite
of the fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the
minister in appreciation for what he had done. The amount of the bequest may not have been large,
particularly by today‟s standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary to
appropriate in order to open the college.
Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted that in
addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering freshmen class of four
students. Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century of its existence the entire teaching
staff consisted of the president and three or four tutors.

A. Harvard is one of the world‟s most prestigious universities.
B. What is today a great university started out small
C. John Harvard was key to the development of a great university
D. Harvard University developed under the auspices of the General Court of Massachusetts
Question 56: The passage indicates that Harvard is___________.
A. One of the oldest universities in the world B. the oldest university in the world
C. one of the oldest universities in America D. the oldest university in America
Question 57: It can be inferred from the passage that the Puritans who traveled to the Massachusetts
colony were__________.
A. Rather well educated B. rather rich
C. rather supportive of the English government D. rather undemocratic
Question 58: The pronoun “they” in the second paragraph refers to_____.
A. Oxford and Cambridge universities B. university graduates
C. sons D. educational opportunities
Question 59: The “pounds” in the second paragraph are probably_______.
A. Types of books B. college students C. units of money D. school campuses
Question 60: The “ English cousin” in the second paragraph refers to a_______.
A. City B. relative C. person D. court
Question 61: Which of the following is NOT mentioned about John Harvard?
A. What he died of B. Where he came from
C. Where he was buried D. How much he bequeathed to Harvard
Question 62: The word “fledgling” in the third paragraph could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. Newborn B. flying C. winged D. established
Question 63: The passage implies that_______.
A. Henry Dunster was an ineffective president
B. Someone else really served as president of Harvard before Henry Dunster
C. Henry Dunster spent much of his time as president managing the Harvard faculty
D. The position of president of Harvard was not merely an administrative position in the early ears

Từ dòng 2 đoạn 2: Included the Puritan emigrants to the Massachussets colony during this period were more
than 100 graduates of England „s prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities that their sons would have
the same educational opportunities they had had -> những người Thanh giáo di cư (sang Mỹ) gồm có hơn
100 cử nhân của trường đại học danh tiếng Oxford và Cambridge -> họ là người được giáo dục tốt
Câu 58: Đáp án : B
“they” là từ để bổ nghĩa cho danh từ chỉ số nhiều ở vế trước. trước đó “they” cũng được thoáng nhắc đến

TỰ LUẬN:
Câu 1: George said to me that he didn‟t know what I was talking about.
Chuyển từ câu trực tiếp sang gián tiếp. khi đó động từ phải lùi thời: hiện tại đơn lùi thành quá khứ đơn, hiện
tại tiếp diễn thành quá khứ tiếp diễn. chủ ngữ I chuyển thành He cho phù hợp (anh ta nói anh ta không biết)
Câu 2: The last ticket for the performance has just been sold out to a student.
Dịch: họ vừa bán chiếc vé cuối của buổi biểu diễn cho một sinh viên -> chiếc vé cuối của buổi trình diễn đã
được bán cho một sinh viên. => chuyển câu chủ động sang câu bị động: be = past participle
Câu 3: If the school children had remembered (hadn‟t forgotten) to water some seeds, they would have
grown.

Museum.

quan hệ bổ sung thông tin cho “the Roman coins” Đồng xu Roman mà một người nông dân địa phương tình
cờ tìm ra trên cánh đồng hiện đang được trưng bày ở bảo tàng quốc gia.

BÀI VIẾT:
The most vital decision I have made was when I was at grade eleven: either studying at home, or studying
abroad. Obviously, studying abroad provides so many precious opportunities, not only the best education
standard, but also the high employment rate. However, the drawback is that I will study in a completely new
country that is totally different. Novel situations might occur that I have never encountered before. It is very
risky to study in a distant continent. At the end, I chose to stay in Vietnam, partly because of my family.
Here, I still have a chance to meet new friends that share the same culture, and another crucial reason is
because of the amount of money I can save from not studying abroad. So far, It is not necessarily the best
choice, but the most practical one. I am reasonably content with it.
