_________________________________________________________________________

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.
Football, or soccer in the U.S, dates back to 2500 B.C with the Chinese game of tsu
chu. The sport we know today originated from Britain. Today, more than 120 million players
over the globe participate in the game, making soccer the world’s sport.
So, why is soccer so popular? Maybe it’s the feeling that the team on the field is your
team; their win is your victory, and their loss is your defeat. Or maybe it is the game’s
international quality. In countries like France. England, Spain. Brazil, major teams have
players from many different nations, and these clubs now have fans all over the world. Or
perhaps it’s the promise of great wealth. A number of professional soccer players, including
Cameroon’s Samuel Bto o and Portugal's Cristiano Rolnado. come from poor families.
Today, both of these players make millions of euros every year.
However, ultimately, the main reason for its universal appeal may be this. It’s a
simple game. It can be played anywhere with anything - a ball, a can. or even some bags tied
together. And anyone can play it.
In the mid-1800s, European colonists brought the game to Africa, Early matches were
first played in the South African cities of Cape Town in 1862: Today, some of the game’s
best players come from African nations and all over the continent, thousands of soccer
academies now recruit boys from poorer cities and towns to play the game, l heir dream is to
join a national team or one of the big clubs in Europe someday. For some, the dream comes
true, but for most, it doesn’t.

In 2005, Cliff Jones began a journey round Britain on a unicycle, a bike with only onewheel.
He had already made a documentary film about his experiences travelling roundEurope in a
50-year-old car. He was mad about motor sport and had a job building racingcar engines. To
save money, Cliff rode to work in London on an old bicycle, which he alsoused to go to
France on holiday. ‘That trip opened my eyes,’ he says. ‘I decided to do atour of Britain by
bike.’
Cliff didn’t want a normal touring bike, and he knew he wanted to build one himself. After
one false start in 2004, when he had to turn back because of a knee injury, he finally set out in
2005. He was away for four months, and travelled over 8,500 km.
The best bit of the trip was arriving in Wales and seeing Mount Snowdon. ‘Although I met
cyclists who could easily ride up mountains on their bikes, which I couldn’t do, I never
regretted my unicycle.’
His worst moment came when he had to drink some dirty water from a stream. A serious
fever kept him in bed in hospital for five long days. He was determined not to give up and go
back home before he had completed his challenge, but found it hard to carry on because he
felt so weak. Yet despite all this, Cliff now says, ‘If I could afford it, I would do something
similar again.’

tropical paradise. With increasing tourist attraction, its population is getting higher especially

and smooth. There is little air pollution here, and no stress. The beaches of Kauai are large
part of its beauty; they are all peaceful clean white sands. If you want to meet colourful
undersea creatures, you will have to take a short course for diving. You need an enrolment to

characteristics of the ocean. As soon as you make up your mind, reserve your place, buy your
ticket and say goodbye to your stressful city!

to be very good. Interpreters can provide a real connection for people who speak different

Jeans are considered to be the most popular kind of clothing in the world. They are
popular almost everywhere and with everybody because they are not just practical but very
fashionable as well. But what do you know about the history of jeans? Who made the first
jeans?
In 1850 Levi Strauss, a young immigrant from Germany, arrived in San Francisco. He
came to sell canvas, a heavy fabric used for tents, to gold miners. One day Strauss saw that
the miners needed strong clothes for work. He quickly took some of his canvas and made it
into pants. These pants were very strong and lasted a long time. The pants became very
popular immediately. Later Strauss wanted to make his pants even better, so he started
making his pants from cotton cloth that was softer than canvas but just as strong. This fabric
came from Nimes, a city in France, and was called ‘denim’ (from de Nimes). Denim was
popular in the fifteenth century. Christopher Columbus used denim for the sails of his ships.
Sailors in Genoa, Italy, wore denim pants. The word ‘jeans’ comes from the word ‘Genoa’.
Mr. Strauss made the first jeans in the United States, but their name and their kind of cloth
came from Italy and France.

3. Does the word "jeans" come from "de Nimes"?
4. Where were the first jeans made?

Air pollution is a serious problem in many cities. Motor vehicles, factories and other
sources create so much air pollution that it may hang in the air like dirty fog. Air pollution
threatens the health of the people who live in cities. City wastes cause water pollution when
they are poured into the waterways. These wastes kill fish and make some areas unfit for
swimming. In addition, many large cities have difficulties in disposing of their garbage. The
amount of garbage grows each year, but places to put it are quickly filling up. Citizens,
governments, industries, scientists, and business people must work together in different ways
to gradually reduce pollution. For example, most cities have introduced recycling programs,
which cut down on garbage and the space needed to store it. Residents separate recyclable
products from garbage, and city governments provide drop-off cities or pick up the products
from homes.

1. What is the main idea of the passage?


A. Air pollution is a serious problem in all cities.
B. Air pollution is a serious problem in countries.

If we look a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we
would be very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United
Kingdom. The language most commonly used between people of different nationalities was
French. However, that is not the case nowadays. English has replaced French as the
international language of communication. Today, there are more people who speak English as
a second language than people who speak it as a first language.

Trang 50/3
There are many reasons why English has become the language of international
communication. Britain's colonization of many parts of the world had something to do with
it, but it is mainly due to America’s rise to the position of major world power. This helped
spread popular American culture throughout the world bringing the language with it.
But is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? Linguists have
suggested “Esperanto”, an artificially put-together language, as a solution to international
communication problems but without success. So English will continue being the world
language until some other languages, maybe Chinese, which is the most widely- spoken
native language in the world, takes over as the world’s international language instead of
English.
Câu 31. What does the world “which” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Esperanto B. English C. a language D. Chinese
Câu 32. What is the main reason why English has become the language of international
communication?
A. Britain’s becoming an international power B. America’s becoming powerful
C. The development of British culture D. The French losing many colonies
Câu 33. What is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Esperanto is difficult to learn.
B. Esperanto is not a natural language
C. The linguists don’t like Esperanto.
D. Esperanto is becoming more and more popular
Câu 34. What would be a good title for this passage?
A. English language means English culture B. English - a difficult language to
learn
C. English as an international language D. English in the future
Câu 35. According to the passage, what was the most commonly used language a
century ago?
A. Chinese B. French C. English D.
Esperanto

VI. Read the passage below carefully and choose the letter (A, B.C or D) to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
Many people continue to skip breakfast despite its being the most important meal of the day.
Busy people often rush out the door in the mornings without giving their bodies the fuel they
need to handle a long day at work. They end up feeling tired by the afternoon and resort to the
office snack machine or biscuit tin.
Loysa Hourigan, from Nutrition Australia, said that catching up on food at lunchtime did not
provide the body with enough sustenance to keep it going for the rest of the day. "Even if you have
had lunch, you won't have as much food as you need. Your brain gets depleted of glucose and you
feel tired,” Ms Hourigan said.
According to Ms Hourigan, wholegrain bread and cereals provide endurance. Milk, eggs and
baked beans provide protein, which helps people to be alert. Rolled oats are also an excellent
endurance food.
26. According to the passage, people should ………….
A. skip lunch B. not have breakfast C. not eat snacks D. have breakfast

VI. Read the passage below carefully and choose the letter (A, B.C or D) to indicate the

Many people continue to skip breakfast despite its being the most important meal of the day.
Busy people often rush out the door in the mornings without giving their bodies the fuel they
need to handle a long day at work. They end up feeling tired by the afternoon and resort to the
office snack machine or biscuit tin.
Loysa Hourigan, from Nutrition Australia, said that catching up on food at lunchtime did not
provide the body with enough sustenance to keep it going for the rest of the day. "Even if you have
had lunch, you won't have as much food as you need. Your brain gets depleted of glucose and you
feel tired,” Ms Hourigan said.
According to Ms Hourigan, wholegrain bread and cereals provide endurance. Milk, eggs and
baked beans provide protein, which helps people to be alert. Rolled oats are also an excellent
endurance food.

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

One key to get along well with people is to know when and how to say you are sorry.
Sometimes little comments or actions can hurt others. However, we failed to see how our actions
make others feel. In most cases, if someone is hurt by something you do or say, it is much better to
apologize right away. That solves the small problem and keeps it from getting bigger.

something wrong and take responsibility for your action.

same time, you must show that you take your mistake seriously.
- Show your regret. Say that you are sorry or ashamed: I’m sorry. I am ashamed of myself.
- Repair the damage. If you damaged someone’s property, offer to fix it. If the damage is not so
obvious, ask: what can I do to make it up to you? There may be nothing you can do but the offer
must be sincere. Another way to repair the damage is to send a note or a small gift. Apologizing
doesn’t mean that who “won” or who “lost". It is a good way to keep a strong friendship.

walked home together. One day in May 1925, Ueno died suddenly while he was at work. For the next
nine years, nine months and 15 days, his faithful dog continued to meet the train his owner used to take
every day. At first, the station staff did not welcome him, but gradually people understood his loyalty
and began giving him food and treats. Hachiko did not stop waiting for Ueno until his own death in

People across the country are being advised to wear face coverings in certain circumstances
when out of the house, to help limit the spread of coronavirus. In England it is compulsory to wear
one on public transport and from 24 July it will also be compulsory in shops.
While medical face masks and respirators are prioritised for health and care workers, you
might want to try making your own face covering, wherever you live.
Here's our guide to different types and step-by-step instructions on how to make them.
Whether you’re handy with a sewing machine, like cutting up old t-shirts or just want a quick
fix, the principles are the same: the more layers of material the better, and the mask needs fitting
snugly around the face, so you can breathe comfortably.
One study has shown that the best materials to use are tightly woven cottons or twill,natural silk
or quilted cotton material. But you can also make do with what you have around your home.

Mercury is the smallest member of the sun's family which is only 3,100 miles across. It is also the
sun's swiftest planet. Its yearly journey round the sun is only 85 days.
Mercury always keeps one side towards the sun. On this side it is always day, on the other side it is
always night. We only see the lighted side.
Mercury appears to us like a yellowish orange star. The nearest planet to the sun, it is always seen
near the sun, either just before sunrise or soon after sunset. People sometimes call Mercury the
morning star or evening star. Mercury is half the size of the earth. Because it is much lighter, it has
much less gravity. If you can visit Mercury in a spaceship, you will find it a strange world. Its low
gravity makes you feel very light. If your weight on earth is 100 pounds, your weight on Mercury is
only 27 pounds. Looking at the sun from Mercury, you can see that it’s much more brilliant than it is
seen from the earth. And the yellow centre of the sun appears three times bigger from Mercury. On the
lighted side, Mercury’s temperature is about 300 degrees centigrade. But the dark side is extremely
cold, 150 degrees below zero so Mercury is probably the coldest as well as the hottest of the planets.

Question 36: The word swiftest in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.


A. fastest B. coldest C. hottest D. biggest
Question 37: We cannot see the dark side of Mercury because ______.
A. it moves very fast
B. it always appears just before sunrise or soon after sunset

D. it is too far for us to see

A. Mercury B. the sun C. gravity D. the earth
Question 40: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Members in Solar system B. Mercury
C. Gravity D. Solar system

Mercury is the smallest member of the sun's family which is only 3,100 miles across. It is also the
sun's swiftest planet. Its yearly journey round the sun is only 85 days.
Mercury always keeps one side towards the sun. On this side it is always day, on the other side it is
always night. We only see the lighted side.
Mercury appears to us like a yellowish orange star. The nearest planet to the sun, it is always seen
near the sun, either just before sunrise or soon after sunset. People sometimes call Mercury the
morning star or evening star. Mercury is half the size of the earth. Because it is much lighter, it has
much less gravity. If you can visit Mercury in a spaceship, you will find it a strange world. Its low
gravity makes you feel very light. If your weight on earth is 100 pounds, your weight on Mercury is
only 27 pounds. Looking at the sun from Mercury, you can see that it’s much more brilliant than it is
seen from the earth. And the yellow centre of the sun appears three times bigger from Mercury. On the
lighted side, Mercury’s temperature is about 300 degrees centigrade. But the dark side is extremely
cold, 150 degrees below zero so Mercury is probably the coldest as well as the hottest of the planets.

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

Did you ever wonder why it is so difficult for adults to start to learn English or a foreign
language? Every year, millions of grown-ups around the world spend a large amount of money on
learning English but not many of them succeed in becoming fluent English speakers. This is because
it is not easy to pick up a new language after a certain age.
However, small children learn foreign languages without much difficulty. This is because they
have a special ability that helps them learn languages fast. This ability weakens when people grow
older. Think of the little time children need to learn their native languages.
Therefore, if you have the desire to learn English or any other foreign language, you should begin
as soon as possible. Remember that the longer you wait, the harder it will become.

A. Special Abilities for Language B. Children and Grown-ups

More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the evenings, on
weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.
One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the school
work. To be able to do so, they must be very organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also
Trang 92
learn to cope with the job stress apart from the stress of the school work. Some of the most stressful
jobs include teaching nursing, and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for the latter
careers. High school students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the
job market at a later age with no work experience.
Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with their friends, etc.
Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not really appreciate that money
because they did not earn it. When teenagers make money for themselves, they know its true value
and are less likely to spend it foolishly.

best option to answer each of the following questions.
Did you ever wonder why it is so difficult for adults to start to learn English or a foreign
language? Every year, millions of grown-ups around the world spend a large amount of money on
learning English but not many of them succeed in becoming fluent English speakers. This is because
it is not easy to pick up a new language after a certain age.
However, small children learn foreign languages without much difficulty. This is because they
have a special ability that helps them learn languages fast. This ability weakens when people grow
older. Think of the little time children need to learn their native languages.
Therefore, if you have the desire to learn English or any other foreign language, you should begin
as soon as possible. Remember that the longer you wait, the harder it will become.

Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an
earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before the noon when inhabitants of
Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned soon as the earth began
to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were
prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use
fire fighting equipment as most of the water pipes burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the
damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings.

Space Holiday
Are you thinking of going on holiday in space? Well, you may not be able to go to the Moon,
but you could consider a space tour! This kind of ‘holiday” allows people to stay in space in a space
station. Of course, it's very expensive and you'd have to be a millionaire to afford it.
First of all, it costs 30 million dollars! Secondly, there's a pretty long waiting list - there are no
free places for some years. Finally, you have to be very fit and healthy and do a lot of training to
Trang 108
prepare yourself before you can go on this kind of holiday.
So, why do people want to travel in space? Well, the answer seems to be the excitement and
the fun of seeing Earth from above. Astronauts have described the view of Earth from space as
absolutely breathtaking. Also, if you have enough money to go on this kind of holiday, imagine the
stories you'll be able to tell your friends.
If you're feeling a bit down about not being able to be a space tourist, there is some hope for
you in the future. Some people are now looking into the idea of space hotels. Some Japanese designs
look very exciting. If they are built, they will offer all the things you expect in a hotel. It will be
interesting to see what they will be like.
For now, you will have to forget space holidays unless you are rich. I don’t know about you, but
I'm going to visit a nice beach and relax in the sun. Maybe if I stay late, I can imagine I'm on the Moon
as well.
30. Which of the following is a good title for this reading?
A. Space Holiday: Is it possibly true
B. The Reasons You Should Go on a Space Holiday

A. A space holiday may cost you thirty million dollars
B. You cannot have a place on the holiday for some years.
C. You have to be in good health to go on this kind of holiday.
D. You don’t need any training before a space holiday.
32. The word “they" in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. space hotels B. Japanese C. space ships D. space tours
33. The word “breathtaking'' in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. highly dangerous B. really disappointing C. extremely beautiful D. extremely cold
34. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. If you are rich, you can go on a space holiday tomorrow.
B. The writer will have a holiday nearer to home.
C. Space hotel will definitely offer us holidays in the future.

“How can 1 learn English well?" This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most
effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you’ve learned it
fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you’re a very successful
learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.

This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it
not half so hard as you might have thought.
Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you
a lot on your way to success in English.
What is equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be

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.
The first thing to do when you have a trip abroad is to check that your passport is valid. Holders
of out-of-date passports are not allowed to trawl overseas. Then you can prepare for your trip. If you
don’t know the language, you can have all kinds of problems communicating with local people.
Buying a pocket dictionary can make a difference. You'll be able to order food, buy things in shops
and ask for directions. It's worth getting one.
Also, there’s nothing worse than arriving at your destination to find there are no hotels
available. The obvious way to avoid this is to book in advance. This can save you money, too.
Another frustrating thing that can happen is to go somewhere and not know about important sights.
Get a guide book before you leave and make the most of your trip. It's a must.
Then, when you are ready to pack your clothes, make sure they are the right kind. It's no good
packing sweaters and coats for a hot country or T-shirts and shorts for a cold one. Check the local
climate before you leave.
In addition, think carefully about how much you pack in your bags. It's easy to take too many
clothes and then not have enough space for souvenirs. But make sure you pack essentials. What
about money? Well, it’s a good idea to take some local currency with you but not too much. There
are conveniently located cash machines (ATMs) in big cities, and it’s usually cheaper to use them
more than change your cash in banks. When you are at your destination, other travellers often have
great information they are happy to share. It could enhance your travelling experience.
Question 31: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Tips for travellers overseas B. Things to avoid when you go abroad
C. getting a guide book D. How to find ATMs in big cities
Question 32: According to the passage, you should do all of the following before leaving EXCEPT
______.
A. checking that your passport is valid B. taking money from an ATM
C. getting a guide book D. preparing suitable clothes
Question 33: The word “This” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. finding there are no hotels available B. booking hotels in advance
C. asking for direction D. saving money
Question 34: According to the passage, holders of out-of-date passports ______.
A. should ask for help from local people B. cannot travel to other countries
C. should buy a pocket dictionary D. cannot communicate with foreigners
Question 35: The word “essential” in paragraph 4 mostly means ______.
A. everything B. souvenir C. valuable D. necessities
Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part
differs from the others three in pronunciation in each of the following questions from 48 to 50.
Question 48: A. complained B. destroyed C. attracted D. arrived
Question 49: A. chemistry B. champion C. cheese D. children
Question 50: A. stops B. avoids C. obeys D. learns

Every one of us produces garbage of one kind or another. Some of the garbage is thrown into the
sea. Some is burnt or buried under the ground. Every year we need to find about 800.000 cubic meters
of empty land just to bury the garbage. This is the same as filling one football stadium with garbage up
to 20 meters high!
This garbage damages the environment. Although a lot of garbage is buried in the ground, some
of it gets blown about in the wind Also, when garbage is burnt; poisonous gases are given off into the
air. The garbage thrown into the sea will pollute the water.
What can we do about these problems? One very easy answer is to produce less garbage. We can
recycle things made from glass and paper as well as tin cans. People can refuse to take the plastic bags
from the shops and supermarkets by bringing with them their own bags or baskets when they go
shopping.
The government should tell people about the dangers of garbage pollution. Education is perhaps
the most important factor for keeping our environment healthy for the future.

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.

The Secrets of Sleep
Research by the National Sleep Foundation in Washington says that we all need eight hours sleep
every night. Scientists have found that people who sleep for less than six and a half hours a night are
more often ill than people who sleep for eight hours. Going without sleep also increases the chance of
serious illness. People who sleep for less than five hours often die young, and do less well at work.
The scientists found that, on average, adults sleep for seven hours a night, with thirty-two percent
sleeping less than six hours. It also says that the idea that we need less sleep as we get older is
completely untrue. “People have no idea how important sleep is to their lives," Dr Thomas Roth,
director of the Foundation says. “Good health needs good sleep."
Trang 171
“But not too much of it,” says Professor Jim Horne of Loughborough University. “Sleep is like
food and drink” he believes: “you would always like to have a little bit more, but that doesn't mean you
need it." Professor Horne studied a group of people who could spend as many hours as they wanted in
bed; after ten hours they didn't find it any easier to get up in the morning. And people who sleep for
more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight!
(Adapted from "New Cutting Edge, Pre-intermediate” by Cunningham, Moor, Carr)
22. What does the word "serious" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. bad or dangerous B. important and valuable
C. unimportant or unnecessary D. unique and impressive
23. According to the scientists in the passage, how long do most adults sleep on average?
A. For no more than six hours a night. B. For less than six and a half hours a night.
C. For seven hours a night. D. For more than nine hours a night.
24. What does the word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Adults who sleep for seven hours a night
B. Adults who sleep for less than five hours a night.
C. People who could spend as many hours as they wanted in bed 
D. Professor Jim Horne and the scientists of Loughborough University
25. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

The Secrets of Sleep
Research by the National Sleep Foundation in Washington says that we all need eight hours sleep
every night. Scientists have found that people who sleep for less than six and a half hours a night are
more often ill than people who sleep for eight hours. Going without sleep also increases the chance of
serious illness. People who sleep for less than five hours often die young, and do less well at work.
The scientists found that, on average, adults sleep for seven hours a night, with thirty-two percent
sleeping less than six hours. It also says that the idea that we need less sleep as we get older is

Trang 176
completely untrue. “People have no idea how important sleep is to their lives," Dr Thomas Roth,
director of the Foundation says. “Good health needs good sleep."
“But not too much of it,” says Professor Jim Horne of Loughborough University. “Sleep is like
food and drink” he believes: “you would always like to have a little bit more, but that doesn't mean you
need it." Professor Horne studied a group of people who could spend as many hours as they wanted in
bed; after ten hours they didn't find it any easier to get up in the morning. And people who sleep for
more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight!

Part I. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each of the following
questions. Write your answers on the answer sheet.
When your mobile phone runs out of battery power, all you have to do to get it working again
is to charge it up. Imagine if you could do the same thing with your car. Researchers at car companies
are developing cars that plug into electric sockets. These vehicles might become the cars of the future.
The cars are called plug-in hybrids and they get most of their power from electricity, just like
other electrical devices like mobile phones and laptops. This technology would significantly reduce
the amount of petrol that people use. For countries that depend on other oil producing countries for
their petrol supply this could be a great advantage.
Presently, most cars use petrol. Unfortunately, burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide
gas, and when a large amount of this gas and other greenhouse gases are trapped in the Earth's
atmosphere, they cause global warming. Hybrid vehicles have already been developed and are being
driven. These cars get their power from both petrol and electricity; they are able to travel longer
distances with less petrol. Plug-in hybrids will be even more advanced as they are designed to be
powered mainly by electricity and use only a small amount of petrol. It might be some time before the
cars will become available to the public but if they do, it will be a major breakthrough for transport.

If we speak English, we can go to any place or country we like. We shall not find it hard to make
people understand what we want to say.
English also helps us to learn all kinds of subjects. Hundreds of books are written in English
every day in many countries to teach people many useful things. The English language has
therefore helped to spread ideas and knowledge to all the comers of the world. There is no subject
that cannot be taught in English.
As English is used so much everywhere in the world, it has helped to make the countries in
the world become friendlier with one another. The leaders of the world use English to understand
one another. The English language has therefore also helped to spread better understanding and
friendship among countries of the world.
Lastly, a person who knows English is respected by people. It is for all these reasons that I
want to learn English.

who particular traffic many and peaceful have shops

Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in
reality, it has both advantages (33) _and_ disadvantages. There are certainly (34) _many_
advantages to living in the country. First of all, you can enjoy (35) _peaceful_ atmosphere.
Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less (36)
_traffic_ , so it is safer for young children. However, there are certain drawbacks to life outside
the city. Firstly, because there are fewer people, you are likely to (37)_have_ few friends. In
addition, entertainment is difficult to find, (38) _particular_ in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that
there are fewer (39) _shops_ and services means that it is hard to find work. In conclusion, it can be
seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the whole, it is often the best
place for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young people (40) _who__
have a career are better provided for in the city.

Environmental pollution is a term that refers to all the ways by which man pollutes his

surroundings. Man dirties the air with gases and smoke, poisons the waver with chemicals and other
substances, and damages the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. Man also pollutes his
surroundings in various other ways. For example, people ruin natural beauty by scattering junk and
liner on the land and in the water. They operate machines and motor vehicles that fill the air with
disturbing noise.

water, and soil are necessary to the survival of all living things. Badly polluted air can cause illness,
and even death. Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of soil reduces the amount

It is very difficult to succeed in the music business; nine out of ten bands that release a first record
fail to produce a second. Surviving in the music industry requires luck and patience, but most of all it
requires a detailed knowledge of how a record company functions. The process begins when a
representative of a company's Artist and Repertoire (A&R) department visits bars and night clubs,
scouting for young, talented bands. After the representative identifies a promising band, he or she will
work to negotiate a contract with that band. The signing of this recording contract is a slow process. A
company will spend a long time investigating the band itself as well as current trends in popular
music. During this period, it is important that a band reciprocate with an investigation of its own,
learning as much as possible about the record company and making personal connections with the
different departments that will handle its recordings.
Once a band has signed the contract and has finished recording an album, the Publicity and
Promotions department takes over. This department decides whether or not to mass produce and
market the band's album. Most bands fail to make personal contacts in this second department thus
losing their voice in the important final process of producing and marketing their album. This loss of
voice often contribute to the band’s failure as a recording group.
Câu 22. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. the cost of recording an album is very expensive
B. the A&R department has a very large staff
C. the music industry is full of opportunities for young bands
D. most bands do not fully understand how record companies operate

A. surviving in the musical industry B. negotiating a contract

A. Nine out of ten bands fail to produce a second record.
B. The main factors in a band's success are luck and patience.

Trang 239
C. Making personal connections will help the band in the final decisions about the promotion of
their album.
D. It is important for a band to have an intricate knowledge of how a recording company works.
Câu 25. As used in paragraph 1, the word "release" is closest in meaning to ______.
A. itemize B. distribute C. overturn D. pay for
Câu 26. The author mentions that a band's success is dependent on all of the following

VI. 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 following questions.
It is very difficult to succeed in the music business; nine out of ten bands that release a first record
fail to produce a second. Surviving in the music industry requires luck and patience, but most of all it
requires a detailed knowledge of how a record company functions. The process begins when a
representative of a company's Artist and Repertoire (A&R) department visits bars and night clubs,
scouting for young, talented bands. After the representative identifies a promising band, he or she will
work to negotiate a contract with that band. The signing of this recording contract is a slow process. A
company will spend a long time investigating the band itself as well as current trends in popular
music. During this period, it is important that a band reciprocate with an investigation of its own,
learning as much as possible about the record company and making personal connections with the
different departments that will handle its recordings.
Once a band has signed the contract and has finished recording an album, the Publicity and
Promotions department takes over. This department decides whether or not to mass produce and
market the band's album. Most bands fail to make personal contacts in this second department thus
losing their voice in the important final process of producing and marketing their album. This loss of
voice often contribute to the band’s failure as a recording group.
Câu 22. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. the cost of recording an album is very expensive
B. the A&R department has a very large staff
C. the music industry is full of opportunities for young bands

A. Nine out of ten bands fail to produce a second record.
B. The main factors in a band's success are luck and patience.
C. Making personal connections will help the band in the final decisions about the promotion of
their album.
D. It is important for a band to have an intricate knowledge of how a recording company works.
Câu 25. As used in paragraph 1, the word "release" is closest in meaning to ______.
A. itemize B. distribute C. overturn D. pay for
Câu 26. The author mentions that a band's success is dependent on all of the following
