29. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to

Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul McCartney. She is the
youngest of three sisters. One sister is a potter and the other sister does the same job as their
mother used to do - she works as a photographer. Stella's brother, James, is a musician. Stella
first hit the newspaper headlines in 1995 when she graduated in fashion design from art college.
At her final show, her clothes were modeled by her friends, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss,
both well-known models. Unsurprisingly, the student show became front-page news around the
world. Stella hadn't been in the news before as a fashion designer but she had spent time working
in the fashion world since she was fifteen. In March 1997, Stella went to work for the fashion
house Chloe. People said the famous fashion house had given her the job because of her surname
and her famous parents but Stella soon showed how good she was. She designs clothes which
she would like to wear herself, although she's not a model, and many famous models and actors
choose to wear them. In 2001 Stella started her own fashion house and has since opened stores
around the world and won many prizes. A lifelong vegetarian, McCartney does not use any
leather or fur in her design. Instead, she uses silk, wool and other animal-derived fabrics.
1. Which of the following is NOT true about Stella's family?
A. She has three sisters. B. One of her sisters is a photographer.
C. She is the youngest. D. Her father is a famous singer.
2. Stella, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss ____.
A. met for the first time at her fashion show B. are very famous fashion models
C. had been friends before 1995 D. all performed at the final show in 1995
3. Which of the following is TRUE about the show?
A. Everyone was surprised when Stella's show was successful.
B. The models performed clothes designed by Stella.
C. The show was the last show of Stella.
D. There was no one famous appearing in the show.
4. Stella thinks about the kinds of clothes that ____.
A. famous people like to wear B. she likes to wear
 C. well-known models perform beautifully D. bring her prizes
5. The word “lifelong” in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.

30. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
In American, although most men still do less housework than their wives, that gap has been
halved since the 1960s. Today, 41 per cent of couples say they share childcare equally, compared
with 25 percent in 1985. Men's greater involvement at home is good for their relationships with
their spouses, and also good for their children. Hands-on fathers make better parents than men
who let their wives do all the nurturing and childcare. They raise sons who are more expressive
and daughters who are more likely to do well in school - especially in math and science.
In 1900, life expectancy in the United States was 47 years, and only four per cent of the
population was 65 or older. Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025, it is estimated about
20 per cent of the U.S. population will be 65 or older. For the first time, a generation of adults
must plan for the needs of both their parents and their children. Most Americans are responding
with remarkable grace. One in four households gives the equivalent of a full day a week or more
in unpaid care to an aging relative, and more than half say they expect to do so in the next 10
years. Older people are less likely to be impoverished or incapacitated by illness than in the past,
and have more opportunity to develop a relationship with their grandchildren.
1. Which of the following can be the most suitable heading for paragraph 1?
A. Men's involvement at home
B. Benefits of men's involvement at home
C. Drawbacks of men's involvement at home
D. Children studying math and science
2. Nowadays, ____ of men help take care of children.
A. 50% B. 41% C. 25% D. 20%
3. According to the writer, old people in the USA ____.
A. are experiencing a shorter life expectancy
B. receive less care from their children than they used to
C. have better relationships with their children and grandchildren
D. may live in worst living conditions
4. Which of the following is NOT true about divorce rates in the USA?
A. They will still be high.
B. They can cause problems for both parents and children.
C. More problems are caused by children from divorced families.
D. Children are encouraged to meet their separate parents.
5. The word "equivalent” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.

83. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.

Generally, friendship exists for three reasons: virtue, usefulness, or pleasure. When virtue is the reason,
friendship exists for the sake of friendship; where both like each other and cherish each other for some
creditable values in the other's personality. You know that you would even die to swear your friendship
for that person. You also know that the other would make you live than die for him/her regardless of
intelligence, handsomeness, utility or the capability of giving pleasure.

A friendship of the second kind is formed for the practical value of it. How useful so and so is to me?
What can I benefit from him? Will he use his reputation and influence to fetch me a good job? Thus a
person may maintain relationship for practical, professional, and political reasons. However, once we do
away with the usefulness, the friendship eventually dies.
Friendship of the third kind is formed essentially on account of the pleasure the relationship can give.
He is a joker. The moment he enters, you forget all your worries. She is cute, intelligent and charming.
The very notion that she is your friend makes you feel proud. The point rests here: How good is he/she
in giving me pleasure-physically, emotionally, mentally and materially?

Now to the question: Which of the three is good? The second type is good, yet since basing on utility, it
falls short of longevity and quality. The third type is good too, but how long one enjoys only pleasure in
life? But the first type, virtue-based friendship is fantastic for this reason: it lasts till the end of this
universe.

1. It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that…

A. real friendship does not count one person’s cleverness, appearance, utility and his/her aptitude for
creating fun.

Huyen Anh is introducing herself and her closest friends. Many people consider me sociable because I
am keen on taking part in community activities. I find it easy to start a conversation and get on well with
different kinds of people, so I have numerous friends. Among them, Tram Anh, Minh and Bich are my
closest ones. Tram Anh is the tallest girl in my group. She looks beautiful with a straight nose, long
black hair, fair skin and dimples. She is interested in helping the poor and the disabled. She volunteers to
teach English at the local orphanage every Sunday. She also spends a lot of time helping other
classmates to improve their English. She is so gentle and generous that her teachers and friends adore
her. Besides, she is a diligent student who always gets good marks. Similar to Tram Anh, Minh is very
outgoing and warm-hearted. He enjoys participating in social activities, such as blood donation and
environmental protection campaigns. He is quite talkative and humorous, so he is sometimes regarded as
a class clown who always makes others laugh by telling jokes and pretending to do silly things. His
jokes, however, sometimes annoy his friends. He also receives many compliments from teachers for
being so intelligent and hard-working. He is not only our class’s star soccer player but also a talented
amateur singer. Unlike Tram Anh and Minh, Bich is quite shy in public. At break time, she enjoys
staying in the classroom to finish her homework before going home. Also, she likes the quiet and
peaceful atmosphere of the school library. In her free time, she prefers reading books and helping her
mother prepare meals. Although each of us has different personalities, we share a number of common
hobbies and have a lot of fun together. I find myself lucky to have them as my intimate friends.

149.Read the passage and then choose the best answer.

Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a
language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for
letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression.
Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally;
spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod
signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with
the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide,
warn, and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also
express human thoughts and feelings.

A. tourists B. the deaf and the mute
C. thoughts and feelings D. sign language motions

A. there are many forms of communication in existence today
B. verbalization is the most common form of communication

3. The word "wink" in paragraph 2 means most nearly the same as________.
 A. close one eye briefly B. close two eyes briefly
C. bob the head up and down D. shake the head from side to side
4. People need to communicate in order to________.
A. create language barriers B. keep from reading with their fingertips
C. be picturesque and exact D. express thoughts and feelings

The skills needed to succeed in college are very different from those required in high school.
In addition to study skills that may be new to students, there will also be everyday living skills that
students may not have had to use before.
Students should:
* know how to handle everyday living skills such as doing laundry, paying bills, balancing a
checkbook, cooking, getting the oil changed in the car, etc.
* be familiar and compliant with medical needs concerning medication and health problems. If
ongoing medical and/or psychological treatment is needed, arrangements should be made in advance to
continue that care while the student is away at college.
* understand that the environmental, academic, and social structure provided by parents and teachers
will not be in place in college. With this lack of structure comes an increased need for responsibility in
decision-making and goal-setting.
* know how to interact appropriately with instructors, college staff, roommates, and peers. Appropriate
social interaction and communication are essential at the college level of education.
* be comfortable asking for help when needed. The transition from high school to college can be
overwhelming socially and academically. Students should know when they need help and should be
able to reach out and ask for that help.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
214. All over the country, young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to
a recent report by the housing group, Shelter.
Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five will become homeless this year,
says Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as the “cardboard
city” in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only homes – cardboard boxes.
Others may find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organisations or get a place in a hostel,
which gives them board up to ten weeks.
But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but
“throwaways” – people who have been thrown out of their homes 0r forced to leave because of parental
divorce, an unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons.
Take the case of one sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just
passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her
physics homework. Her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason that she wanted to
do Science Advanced Level Exams – which her parents refused her permission to do, saying that
studying sciences was unladylike!
Shelter says that the government’s laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage
of cheap housing and the cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a
national problem, according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged
between sixteen and twenty-five gets less than older people and they can only claim State help if they
prove that they left home for a good reason.
Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being
forced to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can’t get a job
because employers will not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can’t get a job, you
are homeless because you don’t have any money to pay for accommodation. It’s an impossible situation.

each of the questions.
 The 22nd Southeast Asian Games were held in Viet Nam from the 5th to 13th December, 2003.
Although it was the first time Viet Nam hosted such a big sports event, the Games were a great
success. The Games really became a festival that impressed sports enthusiasts with its spirit:
solidarity, co-operation for peace and development.
Athletes from 11 participating countries competed in 32 sports, and 444 gold medals were won.
Some teams such as table tennis, badminton, karate, volleyball, basketball and wrestling were
composed of top competitors in the region. Many Games records were close to international
levels. Viet Nam won 158 gold medals to finish at the top of the Southeast Asian Games medal
standings. Thailand ranked second with 90 golds, and Indonesia was third with only 55 golds.
Singapore and Viet Nam were the two nations which had participants who were presented with
the Most Outstanding Athlete titles in the Swimming and Shooting events. The Vietnamese
Women's Football team successfully defended the SEA Games title. Viet Nam and Thailand
played in the Men's Football Final. The Thai Team won the gold medal. In other sports such as
karate, athletics, bodybuilding and wushu, the young and energetic Vietnamese athletes
performed excellently and won a lot of gold medals.
Viet Nam's first place finish was not surprising. Firstly, to prepare for the 22nd SEA Games,
Viet Nam carried out an intensive programme for its athletes, which included training in
facilities, both home and abroad. Secondly, with the strong support of their countrymen, the
Vietnamese athletes competed in high spirits. The country's success has proved that Viet Nam

When Malaysia takes the ASEAN chair next year, it will face a huge challenge. Too few of us
know enough about this grouping we call the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. We do not
know what it means to be a part of ASEAN and why it is important to us. At the same time,
pressure is mounting to reinvent ASEAN to make it more people-centric and less government-
centric. The Heat speaks to Global Movement of Moderates CEO Saifuddin Abdullah on why
ASEAN should mean more to us than just acronyms.
ASEAN people do not feel like they are a part of the community of Southeast Asian nations.
This statement, backed up by survey findings, is pretty bizarre, and extremely hurtful too,
considering that ASEAN is 47 years old today. "Interview 10 persons on the street and you
would perhaps get only one of them who knows about ASEAN,” says Datuk Saifuddin
Abdullah. This CEO of Global Movement of Moderates (GMM) is not running down ASEAN;
he's confronting the truth as it impacts the project he has been entrusted with. Here's more, in
2012, the ASEAN Secretariat conducted a survey that showed only 34% of Malaysians had
 heard of the ASEAN community. This compares with 96% of Laotians. Malaysia chairs ASEAN
next year, and GMM is a member of the national steering committee organising the ASEAN
People's Forum (APF), a platform designed to bridge the gap between governments and civil
society. Never heard of it? You're forgiven.
The APF actually started off life in the 1990s, except it was called the ASEAN People's
Assembly (APA). It was held back to back with the ASEAN Summit, which is held twice a year.
The APA is the forum where 10 leaders of government engage with 10 leaders of civil society in
a half-hour meeting. "It was going well until one year when the chairman decided not to hold the
APA, so it was discontinued until 2005 when Malaysia took the chairmanship of ASEAN again
and founded the ASEAN People's Forum (APF)," Saifuddin explains. In a perfect world, forums
such as the APF or its predecessor APA would have worked perfectly to bridge the gap between
government and civil society.
However, as Saifuddin points out, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) often do not see eye to
eye with their governments. For instance this year, Myanmar is chair of ASEAN and in the APF,
three member nations - including Malaysia - decided not to recognise the CSO leaders chosen as
representatives so the APF did not take place. “This is where the GMM wants to play a role in
ensuring that this situation does not arise again," Saifuddin says.
1. According to the passage, in 1990s, APF was called ____.
A. ASEAN People's Assembly B. ASEAN People's Forum
C. Civil Society Organisations D. Global Movement of Moderates
2. The phrase "backed up" in paragraph 2 has similar meaning to ____.

C. APF is reorganised in 2005. D. APF lasts for 30 minutes.
4. The phrase "bridge the gap" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. avoid the conflict B. break down the wall
C. build a strong relation D. narrow the difference
5. Which of the following would serve as the best title for the passage?
A. How important was the ASEAN People's Forum?
B. Who is going to be the ASEAN chair next year?
C. What does it mean to be a part of ASEAN?
D. Why do GMM play an important role in ASEAN?
