Exercise 8: READING
A. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
Taj Mahal, a mausoleum in Agra, India, regarded as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. The
Mughal emperor Shah Jahan had it built in memory of his wife, Arjumand Banu Bagam, known as Mumtaz
Mahal (Persian for "Elect of the Palace"), who died in 1631.
Building commenced about 1632. The mausoleum was complete by about 1643 and the surrounding
complex of buildings and gardens was complete by about 1653. Situated on the southern bank of the Yamuna
River, the white marble mausoleum is composed of four identical facades, each containing a large central arch
33 m (108 ft) high. A large bulb-shaped dome, over 73 m (240 ft) tall, rises over the center, with four smaller
domes surrounding it. The building is raised on a square podium with a minaret at each corner. It is flanked by
two red sandstone buildings-a mosque and its replica, the Jawab (Answer), a building of which the main
function is visual balance. Visitors approach the Taj Mahal through an imposing red sandstone gate, decorated
with inscriptions from the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an (Koran). The gate and accompanying walls also
contain a vast, geometrically laid out garden, 305 m (1,002 ft) on each side. The enclosed garden, itself a
Muslim symbol of paradise, is centered on a large, raised pool. Canals divide it into four equal parts, each
containing flower beds, fountains, and cypress trees (symbols of death).
Inside the Taj Mahal, the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal stands at the center of an octagonal hall, while the
slightly larger tomb of Shah Jahan, who died in 1666, is off to one side. Both are elaborately carved and inlaid
with semiprecious stones, illuminated by sunlight filtering through an elaborately carved marble screen that is
also studded with jewels.

World Wildlife Fund (WWF) safeguards hundreds of species around the world, but we focus species attention on our
flagship species: giant pandas, tigers, endangered whales and dolphins, rhinos, elephant, marine turtles and great apes. These
species not only need species measures and extra protection in order to survive, they also serve as “umbrella” species:
helping them helps numerous other species that live in the same habitats where animals or plants are normally found. In
addition to our flagship animals, we work to protect numerous species in peril around the world that live within our priority
eco-regions. Laree predators like snow leopards and grizzly bears, migratory species like whooping cranes and songbirds,
and a host of other species facing threats also benefit from WWF’ s conservation efforts. Our wildlife trade experts at
“traffic” work to ensure that trade wildlife products, doesn’t harm a species, while also fighting against illegal and
unsustainable trade. WWF is known for acting on sound science. Science leads and guides us strategies and approaches,
from the way to restore tigers in viable, breed population to decide which areas need protection the most.

Exercise 5:
The Earth is richly supplied with different types of living organisms which coexist in their environment,
forming complex communities. Living organisms depend on one another for nutrients, shelter, and other
benefits. The extinction of one species can set off a chain reaction that affects many other species, particularly if
the loss occurs near the bottom of the food chain. For example, the extinction of a particular insect or plant
might seem inconsequential. However, there may be fish or small animals that depend on that resource for
foodstuffs. The loss can threaten the survival of these creatures and larger predators that prey upon them.
Extinction can have a ripple effect that spreads throughout nature.
In addition to its biological consequences, extinction poses a moral dilemma for humans - the only species
capable of saving the others. The presence of humans on the planet has affected all other life forms, particularly
plants and animals. Human lifestyles have proven to be incompatible with the survival of some other species.
Purposeful efforts have been made to eliminate animals that prey on people, livestock, and crops or pose any
threat to human livelihoods. Some wild animals have been decimated by human desire for meat, fur or other
body parts with commercial value.

5. The word inconsequential has the closest meaning ___
A. Unexpected. B. Unrecognizable. C. Unavoidable. D. Unimportant.
Exercise 6:
Once there were lots of pandas in the mountains of Western China. Today they are becoming extinct. The reason is
that they cannot find enough food. Pandas eat bamboo leaves. They do not like another food. The bamboo grows very
slowly. It can take 10 years for a bamboo to grow from a seed to a big plant. Some types of bamboo have seeds only
once every 60 years. Pandas must wait many years for their food to grow. While the bamboo is growing, pandas do
not have enough leaves to eat.
Farmers are using more and more of the land on the mountain side to grow food for man. The farmers cut
down the bamboo. Bamboo leaves become less plentiful. Pandas can not find enough food to eat. They starve
and die.

China and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are trying to save the pandas. In 1979 they began to set up special
parks where pandas live. Once such park is the Wolong Reserve in Sichuan. The Wolong Reserve has the
highest number of pandas in the world. Scientists come here to study the panda’s eating and mating habits. By
learning more about panda’s habits, scientists can save it from extinction.
1. Where could we find a lot of pandas?
A. In the mountains in the West of China B. In the national parks of the world.

Scientists often compare coral reefs to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of forest,
corals are animals. The soft polyps inside the hard parts of corals are naturally translucent and get their
famously vibrant color from algae living inside them.
It is estimated that 4.000 fish species and some 25 percent of marine life depend on coral reefs at some
point in their existence. Fish keep algae that grow on coral in check, allowing corals to breathe and access the
sunlight. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, they end their symbiotic
relationship with this algae, typically expelling them and turning white, though one recent study indicates some
coral turn bright neon when stressed. Corals are still alive when coral bleaching, but they are at risk and many
eventually starve and die, turning a dark brown. People first noticed corals bleaching events in the 1980s. The
problem intensified in 2016, when an EL Nino weather pattern, which causes warmer waters in the Pacific
Ocean, mixed with an already unseasonably warm ocean and killed off a third of coral on the great barrier reef.
Since then roughly half the coral on Australia’s famous reef have died in subsequent bleaching events.
Scientists around the world are looking for all kind of ways to protect and may be even revive corals. One
option is to create more marine protected areas – essentially national parks in the ocean. Scientists say creating
marine shelters, where fishing, mining and recreating are off limit, make the reefs healthier and so more
resilient.

Tigers are the largest members of the cat family and are renowned for their power and strength. There
were eight tiger subspecies at one time, but three became extinct during the 20 th century. Over the last 100
years, hunting and forest destruction have reduced tiger populations. Tigers are hunted as trophies, and also
for their body parts that are used in traditional Chinese medicine. All five remaining tiger subspecies are
endangered. Take Bengal tigers as a specific example, they live in India and are sometimes called Indian
tigers. Over many centuries, they have become an important part of Indian tradition. The largest population of
Bengal tigers is in India, but there are some smaller groups in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. They sometimes
scatter in areas of China and Myanmar. It is the most numerous of all tiger subspecies with 2,500 left in the
wild. However, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Bengal tigers are in
danger because their numbers keep decreasing rather than increasing, which has worried many environmental
organizations. The main threats to this species are poaching and conflicts with humans over the territories. The
aim of poaching is to illegally trade the products obtained from tigers, such as decorative objects or valuable
parts of the body to cure various diseases. Besides, the gradual loss of their natural habitat, climate change and
the invasion of humans in their territories lead the precious species to emergency case.

READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer for each question below.
There are a number of sources of energy that are used widely all over the world to generate power to
serve the demand of different economic sectors including residence, commerce, industry and transportation. For
example, the citizens often use electricity to heat or cool their homes, manufacturing products or light up their
buildings. Due to the exhaustion of fossil fuels after a long wasteful consumption, alternative sources of energy
have been taken into careful consideration for better application, which resulted in the existence of solar energy.
This kind of energy is collected and converted into electrical energy by the solar panels, installed mostly on
roofs of houses, to meet the needs of these entire buildings. However, there exists an issue that only some of the
geographical areas of the world can gain enough direct power of the sun for long enough to produce electricity;

therefore, large solar panel fields are often established in the deserts to gather sufficient power to satisfy global
energy needs. Besides, solar panels cannot work at night without a storage device such as battery; and cloudy
weather also prevents the system from functioning well during the days. Despite these drawbacks, solar energy
has become one of the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy sources available nowadays because it is
believed to be pollution and noise free.
5: What is the word “generate” in the passage closest meaning to?
A. interfere B. estimate C. discharge D. produce
6: Where can a solar panel be installed?
A. under the ground in the deserts B. inside a big building
C. under the house’s roofs D. on the house’s roofs

A. There is no noise when converting solar energy into electricity.
B. Deserts are good place to install the solar panels.
C. Power is used for four various economic areas.

Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question:
Throughout history, the elephant has played an important role in human economies, religion, and culture.
The great size and strength of this largest living land animal has interested people of many cultures for hundreds
of years.
In Asia, elephants have served as means of carrying heavy things in war and peace. Some civilizations
have regarded elephants as gods, and they have been symbols of royalty for some. Elephants have entertained
us in circuses and festivals around the world. For centuries, the elephant’s massive tusks have been prized for
their ivory.
The African elephant was once found all over the continent of Africa, and the Asian elephant ranged from
Syria to northern China and the islands of Indonesia. These abundant populations have been reduced to groups
in some small areas south of the Sahara and in isolated parts in India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia.
Demand for ivory and hides, combined with habitat loss from human settlement, has led to a dramatic decline
in elephant populations in the last few decades. In 1930, there were between 5 and 10 million African elephants.
By 1979, there were 1.3 million. In 1989, when they were added to the international list of the most endangered
species, there were about 600,000 remaining, less than one percent of their original number.

Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.

Rhinos once roamed many places throughout Europe, Asia and Africa and were known to early
Europeans who draw them in cave paintings. Long ago, they were widespread across Africa's savannas and
Asia's tropical forests. However, today very few rhinos survive outside national parks.
There are currently three species of rhino in Asia. Two out of three – the Javan and Sumatran – are
critically endangered. In Vietnam in 2011, the Javan rhino was declared extinct. Only a small population of the
Javan rhino still clings for survival on the Indonesian island of Java. Successful conservation efforts have
helped the third Asian species, the Indian rhino, to increase in number. Their status was changed from
endangered to vulnerable (dễ bị tổn thương), but the species is still poached for its horn.
Although international trade in rhino horn has been banned under the Convention on International Trade
in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES) since 1977, the act of rhino hunting continues due to high
demand. The horns will be transferred illegally from countries like South Africa to the final destination in Asia.
The main market is now in Vietnam where people still believe that rhino horn could cure cancer. Rhino horn is
also used in other traditional Asian medicine to treat a variety of sicknesses including fever and various blood
diseases.

Having a hobby can greatly enrich a teenager's life since it can increase physical activity and social
interaction, provide stress relief, teach valuable skills, and of course be a source of fun. However, many teens
are unwilling to try a hobby. All parents need to do is overlooking some things that are great hobbies already,
and just need to recognize and nurture that interest for their teens. There are some insights and gentle guidance
to help their teens to explore their interests and find their perfect hobby.
First of all, parents can support them to make a list of their passions and interests including fencing,
reading or drawing manga, creating movies or music, cooking, playing an instrument, participating in quiz
bowl, playing board or RPG games, or crafting, etc. In case your teen is struggling to find interests, you can
gently suggest things they might be interested in. You have likely known your children their entire life, so you
will have an idea of what their interests are; you should mention possible enjoyable activities, but limit the
number of times you suggest the idea. After brainstorming, have your teen write down a list of interests they
would like to pursue or be curious about; then, have the teen rank the interests on a scale from 1 to 10, with one
being most likely to try and 10 being least likely. This list can help your teen start figuring out what they are
more interested in so they can try the activity. Another suggestion is that parents can also help their teens
analyze their personality since it can help them figure out their hobbies or interests. Let them think about their
character traits, what things make they get in trouble for doing; the answers to these questions can help them
come up with ideas for their hobbies. For example, if your teen is chatty, they may enjoy something like debate,
volunteer work, or drama. If your teen would rather be outside than do homework, they may be interested in
nature or sports.
10. Which of the following is closest meaning to the word “struggling” in the second paragraph?

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
Have you ever thought about living on the planet Mars? Well, as part of an experiment for NASA, three
men and three women are living on a simulated "Mars", called HI-SEAS, in Hawaii, USA. They will stay there
for an entire year!
The purpose of the experiment is to study how the crew behaves. How will they work together as a team
to solve problems? How will they handle problems? How will they cope being so far away from home? NASA
will use the information they learn from this experiment to help a future Mars mission succeed.
The HI-SEAS crew will be living in a small dome - only 36 feet by 20 feet. There is a kitchen, a dining
and exercise area, and two bathrooms. Each HI-SEAS crew member has a very small bedroom and a desk.
On HI-SEAS, crew members will have experiences like the ones they would have on Mars. For example,
the water on HI-SEAS is limited. On a real Mars mission, the crew will need to bring with them all the water

they'll need. They won't be able to get more water during the mission. There is no telephone in the dome, but
there is a computer so that crew members can send e-mail. However, just like on Mars, e-mails will only arrive
20 minutes after being sent.
The information NASA learns will help them plan the first human mission to Mars. One lesson that crew
member Kim Binsted has already learned is "that you really can't prevent conflicts among members." People
will have to learn to live together in a small space - on Mars, USA, and beyond.

A. difficult B. man-made C. real D. weightless

A. You can still send e-mails there. B. The conditions are similar to the ones on Mars.
C. There is a limited amount of water available. D. The place where they will stay is spacious.

Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission to put men on the moon. Compared to previous Apollo missions,
Apollo 17 astronauts traversed the greatest distance using the Lunar Roving Vehicle and returned the greatest
amount of rock and soil samples. Harrison Schimitt, an American geologist, and Eugene Cernan, the
commander of Apollo 17, still hold the distinction of being the last men to walk on the moon, as no humans
have visited the moon since December 14th, 1972. The successful Apollo 17 was the last in a series of three J-
type missions planned for the Apollo Program. The Apollo 17 mission had a duration of 12.6 days. The basic
aims of Apollo 17 were:
 To explore and sample the materials and surface features at Taurus-Littrow
 To set up and activate experiments on the lunar surface for long-term relay of data
 To conduct in-flight experiments and photographic tasks
The range of exploration and geological investigations made by Cernan and Schmitt at Taurus-Littrow
was extended by the electric-powered Lunar Roving Vehicle. Apollo 17 was distinguished by extended
hardware capability, larger scientific payload capacity and the use of the battery-powered Lunar Roving
Vehicle. It was the last mission in which humans traveled to the moon.

Before man had flown in space, it was thought that his physical and mental capabilities might be affected
by long periods of weightlessness, and that he might be endangered by high levels of radiation. Yuri Gagarin’s
first space flight in April 1961 showed that man could live in space and, although this journey only lasted for
108 minutes, it gave encouragement to those interested in the future of manned space flight. In fact, most of the
early fears about man’s health in space have proved groundless, and although several odd medical effects have

been observed, none has seriously affected man’s ability for useful work. All astronauts undergo strenuous
training to prepare them for the experience of space flight but, despite this, most astronauts suffer from space
sickness early in their flights. This effect, similar to sea sickness, soon wears off, and there appears to be no
medical reason why man cannot live in space for long periods of time. A constant check is kept on the health of
all astronauts during their mission. Small medical detectors which monitor their heartbeats, pulse rates,
breathing and temperature are taped to their bodies.
All food eaten in space so far has been prepared on earth. In the first American space flights, astronauts
ate natural foods in dried bite-sized squares or in a form that could be mixed with cold water and squeezed into
the mouth. The squares were coated to prevent them breaking up into small pieces, and their corners were
rounded to prevent them cutting the astronauts’ mouths. Later astronauts ate sticky foods with a spoon, and hot
as well as cold water was available for making up the dried meals. These two developments have made eating in
space much more pleasant.
26: Before Gagarin’s space flight, people thought ________.
A. people would be fine in space B. there was nothing harmful in space
C. the outer space may be dangerous D. astronauts could deal with anything
27: What did Gagarin’s space flight mean to human space exploration?
A. It made people less interested in space. B. Space flights could harm people’s health.
C. Space flights could only last for 108 minutes. D. It encouraged other manned space flights.
28: What is the phrase “wears off” closest in meaning to?
A. dies B. destroys C. damages D. disappears
29: So far, astronauts have mostly eaten food which has been made ________.
A. inside the spacecraft B. during the space flight
C. outside the spacecraft D. before the space flight

comics with 68,000 books in 2009, Bretall thought to himself, “Geez, I have at least 20,000 more comics

than that guy.” Therefore, he began the unplanned journey to show the world his collection . However, it
took him two years to get the certificate because they had to count the books he owned one by one.
Bob Bretall got his first comic, the Amazing Spider-Man number 88, when he was 8 years old. Ever
since, he has been a loyal fan of Marvel’s and DC’s super heroes such as Superman, Ironman, … He is so
fond of this hobby that he buys almost all comics that are available, adding about 150 books each month to
his collection. However, “Spider-Man will always have that spot as my favourite”, Bretall said, "He was the
guy that got me into collecting.”
