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.
Birds have evolved many physical attributes that contribute to their flying ability. Wings are important, but
adjustable tails, large hearts and light bones play critical roles.
To fly, birds, like airplanes, move air across their wings. Wings are designed so that air above the wings is
forced to move faster than air below the wing. This creates higher pressure under the wings, called lift, which
pushes the bird up. Different wing types evolved for different ways of flying. Prolonged flight requires long
wings and an ability to soar. Other birds need superior maneuverability. Finches and sparrows have short,
broad wings. Faster birds, like hawks have built - in spoilers that reduce turbulence while flying. This allows a
steeper angle of attack without stalling.
Tails have evolved for specialized use. The tail acts like a rudder helping birds steer. Birds brake by
spreading out their tails as they land. This adaptation allows them to make sudden, controlled stops in
essential skill, since most birds need to land on individual branches or on prey.
Flight takes muscle strength. I body builders had wings, they still could not flap hard enough to have the
ground. Birds have large, specialized hearts that beat much faster than the human hair and provide the
necessary oxygen to the muscles. The breast muscle accounts for 15 percent of the bird’s body weight. On
pigeons, it accounts for a third of their total body weight.
Birds carry no excess baggage, they have hollow feathers and hollow bones with struts inside to maintain
strength, like cross beams in a bridge. Birds fly to find a prey, escape predators, and attract mates-in other
words, to survive.
Câu 38: The phrase ‘finches and sparrows’ refers to_____.
A. wings B. maneuvers C. ways of flying D. birds
Câu 39: According to the passage, what causes birds to rise when they start flying?
A. Spreading out their tails
B. Long wings with hollow feathers
C. Higher air pressure below than above the wings
D. Superior muscle strength
Câu 40: According to the passage, what benefit comes from having built-in spoilers?
A. an ability to fly faster B. a steeper angle of diving for prey
C. prolonged flight D. superior maneuverability when climbing
Câu 41: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Wings are the most important physical attribute of birds.
B. Different wing styles evolved for different types of flight.
C. Birds fly for many reasons.
D. Birds have many specialized features that aid in their survival.
Câu 42: What does the author imply about the body builders having wings?
A. If they had wings, their muscles would be strong enough for flight.
B. Their wings would total 15 percent of their body weight.
C. If they flapped their wings, they could fly a little.
D. If they had wings, their hearts would still not be large for flight.
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.
Laws are rules that a society makes to maintain order and keep citizens and their possessions safe. Most
countries have thousands of laws that are enforced by police officers with the help of court systems.
Laws today are based on those of earlier societies. Ancient Egypt had laws in 3000 B.C. They were
based on common sense views of right and wrong. All people were equal under the law. When a person broke
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
the law, their punishment could be as simple as returning a stolen item or as severe as lashings from a whip.
Sometimes, a person’s entire family could be punished for their crimes.
Later, there was the Code of Hammurabi from the land of Babylon. It was the first written code of law in
history and was created in 1772 B.C. It included 282 laws in total. This is where we get the phrase, “an eye for
an eye” as that was a punishment. There were laws about rewards for returning slaves to owners, laws about
marriage, laws about compensation for theft and loss, and laws about responsibility if a house collapsed.
These laws were originally written on giant stone tablets. Some tablets still exist and are kept in the Louvre
Museum.
Later, the Romans created their first legal text, the Law of the Twelve Tables, in the mid-5th century
B.C. These laws were mostly civil, meaning they were private laws about how citizens interacted. That meant
Romans focused on laws about property and possession. These laws were so well formed that they have
affected lawyers ever since.
Without these ancient examples, our modern laws would be very different. We have many laws today,
and new ones are still being created by governments. Sometimes, governments change past laws as well. In
the early 20th century, the government banned alcohol in the U.S. Later, the government made alcohol legal
and set a drinking age. This is just one example of how laws can be changed.
Câu 43: When was the Law of the Twelve Tables written?
A. in the 20th century.
B. before 3000 B.C.
C. in 1772 B.C.
D. in the mid- 5th century B.C
Câu 44: The main purpose of the second paragraph is to
A. explain how laws were used in ancient Egypt. B. introduce Egyptian family laws.
C. show which Egyptian laws still exist today. D. discuss how Egyptian laws were written.
Câu 45: The word “entire” in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. limited B. huge C. possible D. whole
Câu 46: What can be inferred about the punishments for breaking laws in ancient Egypt?
A. Stealing something was the most serious crime.
B. They varied based on the law broken.
C. The family of the victim picked the punishment.
D. The punishment was chosen by the guilty person.
Câu 47: The word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to ___
A. Roman citizens B. Roman laws
C. property and possession D. Roman lawyers
Câu 48: What is the passage mainly about?
A. how laws have changed since ancient times.
B. how ancient punishments were better than modern punishments.
C. why today’s laws are the same as ancient laws.
D. who wrote down laws in ancient Rome.
Câu 49: Which is NOT true about ancient Roman laws?
A. The Law of the Twelve Tables was the Romans’ frst legal text.
B. Many laws were about how people interacted.
C. Modern lawyers are influenced by Roman laws.
D. Ancient Roman laws were not very concerned with property.
Câu 50: Why does the author mention the law about banning alcohol in the U.S?
A. to illustrate that laws can be made different. B. to explain that law can be unnecessary.
C. to argue that laws can change drinking age. D. to confirm that drinking alcohol can be illegal.

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 travel 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
sightseeing places. 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.
Also, be careful 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 most big cities, and it's usually cheaper to use them than change your cash in banks.
Then you'll have more money to spend. When you are at your destination, other travellers often have
great information they are happy to share. Find out what they have to say. It could enhance your
travelling experience.
(Adapted from Pearson Test of English General Skills)

A. getting a guide book B. taking money from an ATM

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.
The loss of the jobs and persistent unemployment in the industrial countries is due mainly to
changes in technology. It is thought to be misleading to blame job losses on the shift of corporations
from the industrial countries to the Third World.
The present technological developments have been compared to a Third Industrial Revolution.
The first coming in the 19th century, was characterized by the steam engine and the use of coal. In

is driven by computers, biotechnology and information technology.
However, there can be seen weaknesses in the newest of industrial revolutions. The technology
is advancing so fast and productivity is rising so fast that we are left with a big problem. Because of
the loss in jobs, caused largely by this new, technology, there will not be enough people with money
to buy all these products.
Technology has definitely enhanced our standard of living, even our quality of life. But as the
capacity to produce expands and the lack of purchasing power and consequent demand diminish,
there can be overproduction and recession, and what happens to our standard of living?
1. What is stated as being the main weakness of the Third Industrial Revolution?
A. There will be too many machines in the factories.

5. Why does the author think that there won't be enough people to buy the products?
A. Many people will be unemployed
B. There will be too many products.
C. People will not be able to keep up with technology.
D. Productivity will not be high enough.
6. When was the Second Industrial Revolution?
A. In the 21st century B. At present C. In the 1920s D. In the 19th century
7. What is the main point the author is making?
A. That corporations have shifted' to the Third World.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Today's cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the
car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of
automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as
electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however,
is the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other
dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric
vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood
cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers
are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public
charging facilities will need to be as common as today's gas stations. Public parking spots on the
street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their
batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the
most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.

Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at
transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a
variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or
electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways
capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.
(Source: TOEFL)

Today's cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the
car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
Trang 2/5 - Mã đề: 192
automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as
electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however,
is the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other
dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric
vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood
cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers
are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public
charging facilities will need to be as common as today's gas stations. Public parking spots on the
street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their
batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the
most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at
transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a
variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or
electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways
capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.

The loss of the jobs and persistent unemployment in the industrial countries is due mainly to
changes in technology. It is thought to be misleading to blame job losses on the shift of corporations
from the industrial countries to the Third World.
The present technological developments have been compared to a Third Industrial Revolution.
The first coming in the 19th century, was characterized by the steam engine and the use of coal. In

is advancing so fast and productivity is rising so fast that we are left with a big problem. Because of
the loss in jobs, caused largely by this new, technology, there will not be enough people with money
to buy all these products.
Technology has definitely enhanced our standard of living, even our quality of life. But as the
capacity to produce expands and the lack of purchasing power and consequent demand diminish,
there can be overproduction and recession, and what happens to our standard of living?
34. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of one of the industrial revolutions?

Thời gian làm bài: 60 phút – 50 questions
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Today's cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the
car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of
automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as
electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however,
is the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other
dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric
vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood
cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers
are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public
charging facilities will need to be as common as today's gas stations. Public parking spots on the
street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their
batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the
most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at
transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a
variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or
electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways
capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The loss of the jobs and persistent unemployment in the industrial countries is due mainly to
changes in technology. It is thought to be misleading to blame job losses on the shift of corporations
from the industrial countries to the Third World.
The present technological developments have been compared to a Third Industrial Revolution.
The first coming in the 19th century, was characterized by the steam engine and the use of coal. In
the 1920s the second emerged with the use of oil and the electrodynamo. The third, the present one,
is driven by computers, biotechnology and information technology.
However, there can be seen weaknesses in the newest of industrial revolutions. The technology
is advancing so fast and productivity is rising so fast that we are left with a big problem. Because of
the loss in jobs, caused largely by this new, technology, there will not be enough people with money
to buy all these products.
Technology has definitely enhanced our standard of living, even our quality of life. But as the
capacity to produce expands and the lack of purchasing power and consequent demand diminish,
there can be overproduction and recession, and what happens to our standard of living?
23. What is the main point the author is making?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Today's cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the
car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of
automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as
electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however,
is the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other
dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric
vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood
cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers
are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public
charging facilities will need to be as common as today's gas stations. Public parking spots on the
street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their
batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the
most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at
transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a
variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or
electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways
capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.

The loss of the jobs and persistent unemployment in the industrial countries is due mainly to
changes in technology. It is thought to be misleading to blame job losses on the shift of corporations
from the industrial countries to the Third World.

The first coming in the 19th century, was characterized by the steam engine and the use of coal. In
the 1920s the second emerged with the use of oil and the electrodynamo. The third, the present one,
is driven by computers, biotechnology and information technology.

WHO WORKS? WHO STAYS HOME?
Most Americans agree that the workplace and the home are very different from the way they were
thirty years ago. The world of work is no longer the man’s world. Between 1970 and 1995, the percentage
of women who worked outside the home went from 50 percent to 76 percent. In the year 2000, of the
more than 55 million married couples in the United States, 10.5 million women were making more than
their husbands and 2 million men were stay-at-home dads.
Author, husband and father Mark Wertman, writes about being a stay-at-home dad in his book True
Confessions of a real Mr. Mom. His story will help others who are learning how to live with the changing
gender roles in our society.
Mark and his wife, Georgenes, were a two-income couple, but things changed when their first baby
was born. Georgenes wanted to continue her work as a lawyer, but someone needed to stay at home to
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
take care of the baby. Georgenes had the higher paying job, so she became the provider. Mark stayed at
home to raise the children. In his book he tells many stories about his roles in the family.
At first, it was difficult to change roles. The Wertman kids often went to Mark first to talk about their
problems. Georgenes was jealous of the time the children spent with their father. Mark had some hard
time too. People often asked him, “When are you going to get a real job?”. Even in the 21st century,
society respects the role of provider more than the role of child raiser. Mark found out all about this.
Mark and Georgenes learnt that it was very important to talk about their problems. In the beginning,
Mark thought Georgenes had the easy job and Georgenes thought that Mark had it easy. Later they talked
it over and discovered that both jobs were difficult and rewarding. Georgenes and Mark agree that talking
things over and making decisions together can help their relationship.
The Wertmans are now happy with the results of their decision. Their children are ready for the world
where men and women can choose their roles. Wertman’s book is entertaining and educational, especially
for couples who want to switch roles. Mark Wertman says, “We are society. We make the change one by
one. People have to decide on what’s best for them and their family”.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer for each question
We first learn about loving and caring relationships from our families. Family is defined as a domestic
group of people with some degree of kinship - whether through blood, marriage, or adoption. Ideally,
each child is nurtured, respected, and grows up to care for others and develop strong and healthy
relationships. This does not mean that it is always easy to make and keep friends; it just means that we share
the goal of having strong relationships.
"Family" includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with
everyday,such as your cousins,aunts,uncles,grandparents,and stepparents.
These are probably the people you are closest to and with whom you spend the most time.Having
healthy relationships with your family members is both important and difficult.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than one
family together in the same house], and gay and lesbian parents -just to name a few. No matter the "type"
of family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. Many times, however,
families become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion. These are
natural and normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences with them. The worst time
for most families, is during a divorce. By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world
and deal with other people, it is possible to create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be
units of mutual caring and support; they can be sources of lifelong strength for allindividuals.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer for each question
It is an undeniable fact that a woman's place was once in the home. In the past, women were merely required
to fulfill the role of mother and housewife. Today, this situation has changed tremendously. If a woman
possesses the attributes and qualities of her male counterpart, she will definitely be given equal opportunities
in the career world without much bias. Therefore, women began to make the scene and, eventually, there
was a steady flow of women leaving their homes. A certain vacuum or emptiness was thus created in the
households. No more could the husbands turn to their wives after a hard day's work. Society marveled at
the ability of women, but it also suffered at the realization of the important role that women play in their
homes. Should women be allowed to work after marriage then? The answer is undoubtedly positive
although this issue is highly debatable in terms of the nature of the professions involved. If a woman
pursues her career but is at the same time able to care for her home and children, one simply cannot find
any reason why she should not be allowed to do so.
A woman's influence is greatly needed in the home, on the children. What a child needs most is his
mother's care because how the child is molded depends greatly on her. It is a real pity that women who
leave their homes solely in search of a career seldom give a thought to this. The children, being
helpless and dependent creatures, may have nobody to turn to at home, except servants or relatives.
With the mother's back only after a hard day's toil, the children surely do not get much attention.
Whether a woman should continue to work after marriage would depend on the nature of her profession. It
is a waste of resources if women, after seeking higher education, immediately abandon their careers
after matrimony. A woman's effort can also contribute to the well-being and development of society.
In the Malaysian context, a teacher is only required to work a five-day week with term holidays every now
and then. Moreover, she is in school for only half of the day. The other half of the day can be devoted to
her home. A teacher, besides educating the society, can fulfill the role of both mother and housewife.
There are many other careers like those of nurses, clerks and typists where women can fulfill the double
role.
Nevertheless, there are many professions which would not be advisable for women to indulge in after
marriage. A public relations officer spends almost three-quarters of her time in her career. She has
heavy tasks to shoulder which might require her to entertain others till odd hours at night. Women who
venture into the business world should think twice before plunging into it. It would be beyond their means
to fulfill two demanding roles at the same time.
As it is, a woman's most important responsibility still lies in her home. Without her around in the house,
one just cannot bear to think of the consequences. Unless and until she can fulfill the basic role of a
housewife and mother, she should not make a career her sole responsibility.
Câu 22. The word "mearvelled" in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by_______.
A. was excited B. was amazed C. was frustrated D. was fascinated
Câu 23. According to the passage, what job is NOT suitable for women after getting married?
A. typists B. public relations officers
C. nurses D. clerks
Câu 24. Which of the following about women is NOT true in paragraph 1?
A. Women play an important role in their homes.
B. Women will have equality of job opportunities if they are as qualified as men.
C. Women's going out to work didn't change anything in the life of their families.
D. The main role of women in bygone days was childbearing and homemaking.
Câu 25. Why should a business woman have the second thought before starting her career?
A. Because she has heavy tasks to shoulder till very late at night.
B. Since she has to spend three quarters of her time on business.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct word or phrase for each of the blanks.
A long time ago, when ancient Rome was still an empire, people of that time used similar weights
and measures. The standards for these weights and measures were established by the Romans, who
kept these standards in a temple in Rome. All standards for measuring weight or distance were the
same, whether in Spain or in Syria. But then the Roman Empire fell, and these standards
disappeared. Today, standards vary from place to place throughout the world. Tourists who drive
from the United States in Canada, for example, are surprised when they buy gasoline for their cars.
A gallon of gas costs more than they are accustomed to paying. They complain that prices are much
higher in Canada than in the United States. Then they discover that they can drive farther on a
Canadian gallon than on a United States gallon. Is it a different kind of gas? No, it is a different kind
of gallon. Canada uses the British, or imperial, gallon that is about one-fifth larger than the United
States gallon. Four quarts equal a gallon and two pints equal a quart in both countries. But Canada’s
quarts and pints are larger than quarts and pints in the United States. The imperial gallon equals
277.42 cubic inches while the gallon in the United States is equal to 231 cubic inches. Measured in
ounces, Canada’s large gallon holds 160 fluid ounces, while the smaller United States gallon holds
no more than 128 fluid ounces. From these figures, it is easy to see why Americans can drive farther
on the Canadian gallon than on the American gallon. Someday, countries may follow the example of
the ancient Romans and make weights and measures the same for every nation.

the correct answer to each of the questions.
The sea has always interested people. From it they can get food, minerals, and treasures. For
thousands of years, they sailed on the sea. But they could not go far beneath its surface. People want
to explore deep into the sea. However, they are not fishes. Because people must breathe air, they
cannot stay under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, men and
women face even more dangers and problems. A diver who wants to stay under water for more
than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. Divers can wear diving suits and
have air pumped to them from above. They can carry tanks of air on their back and breathe through
a hose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water push against a
diver deep in the sea. The diver’s body is under great pressure. When divers are under great
pressure, their blood takes in some of the gases they breathe. As they rise too quickly, the gases in
their blood form bubbles. Divers then suffer from the bends. The bends can cause divers to double
up in pain. Bends can even kill divers.
Câu 44: Which statement does the story lead you to believe?
A. Humans are not at home deep in the sea.
B. All divers get the bends sooner or later.
C. The sea began to interest humans in the last few years.
D. Diving suits do not help divers.
Câu 45: The story does not say so, but it makes you think that_________.
A. deep-sea divers should be in good health
B. diving under the water too quickly causes the bends
C. Divers can wear diving suits to avoid the bends
D. divers explore the deep seas only for treasure

Câu 46: A diver’s body in deep water________.
A. is just like a fish’s body B. suffers from the bends
C. is under great pressure D. weighs very little
Câu 47: Why do drivers get the bends?
A. They come to the surface too quickly.
B. They try to do exercises under the water.
C. Their diving suits weigh too much.
D. Their blood takes some of the gases they breathe.
Câu 48: The gases in a diver’s blood can form________.

Champagne, the king of wines and wine of kings, tastes all the better when it is drunk from
an elegant, fine-quality glass. That, however, is only one of thousands of ways glass is used today.
And for all those different uses, many different types of glass are produced. Glass products are
manufactured in different ways. Today, glass is blown by hand in the traditional way which the
Roman first developed, but now this work is done by robots, too. Generally, in industry, much faster
methods of mass production are needed. Often, for example, glass is pressed into the necessary
shape by machine. Glass is shaped in other ways too. For example, it is made into long, very thin
fibres. Fibres like these are required to make the fibre-optic cables that help to build the information
Super-Highway around the world.

Hibernation is typically linked to seasonal changes that limit food supplies. It is identified by
metabolic suppression, a drop in body temperature and torpor- a sleep- like state- interspersed with
brief bouts of wakefulness. Though certain species of fish, amphibians, birds and reptiles are known
to lie dormant during cold winter months, hibernation is generally associated with mammals,
U U
according to Don Wilson, a curator emeritus of vertebrate zoology at the Smithsonian National
Museum of Natural History.
Endothermic mammals- “ warm- blooded” animals that generate body heat internally- need a
constant energy source to keep their engines running, Wilson told Live Science. And when that
energy source becomes difficult to find, hibernation can help them weather harsh conditions.
U U
“During times of the year when that energy source is missing- especially in northern
climates- one coping mechanism is to just shut down,” he said. “ They’ll feed heavily during the
few months when food is plentiful and build up fat, then go to sleep and live off their fat reserves”.
A special type of fat called “ brown fat” accumulates in hibernating mammals, Wilson said.
Bats that hibernate develop brown fat on their backs between their shoulder blades, but mammals
can also store brown fat in their bellies and elsewhere in their bodies, Wilson said.
Brown fat goes a long way because the hibernating animals draws on it very slowly, reducing
their metabolism to as little as 2 percent of their normal rate, according to a 2007 study published in
the Journal of Neurochemistry.
Their core body temperature is also greatly reduced. It generally hovers close to the air
temperature in the animal’s den but can sometimes fall as low as 27 degrees Fahrenheit ( minus 3
degrees Celcius) in Arctic ground squirrels, according to Kelly Drew, a neurochemist and professor
with the Institute of Artic Biology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Arctic ground squirrels’ bouts or torpor last about two or three weeks, Drew told Live
Science, and the animals rouse “ pretty consistently” for about 12 to 24 hours, before resuming their
winter sleep. They repeat this process for up to eight months.
But even though Arctic squirrels maintain a lower body temperature than any other
hibernating mammal, the changes in their bodies overall aren’t that different from those that occur
in other hibernating mammals, Drew said.
“ The quality of mammalian hibernation is similar from bears to hamsters to ground
squirrels,” Drew said. “ The distinguishing feature is how cold they get”.

A. It only wakes up for 12 to 24 hours during the hibernation.
B. Its hibernation lasts only 2 to 3 weeks.
C. It switches between inactivity and wakefulness for 8 months.
D. It sleeps eight months on end.
Question 34. Where on the hibernating bat’s body is brown fat mostly likely to be found?
A. shoulders B. bellies C. blades D. backs

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 from questions 6 to 13.
Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting,
from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it. It is directly related to cultivation and the
adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex. A person of culture has identifiable
attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music. Yet the word
culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education. At least from the
19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come
to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people,
including their customs, laws, conventions, and values.
Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures,
between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national
and global cultures. Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word
derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city. The two words are sometimes
treated as synonymous. Yet this is misleading. While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each
other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly
influenced by 6 conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century.
Cultures evolve or develop. They are not static. They have twists and turns. Styles change. So do
fashions. There are cultural processes. What, for example, the word cultured means has changed
substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history
ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education. No single alternative focus
emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most
recently digital culture. As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more
civilized.
The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define. There is
no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one. The only
nonproblematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry
culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture). Since in anthropology
and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of
reference is extremely wide.

Clara Barton became known as "The Angel of the Battlefield" during the American Civil War.
Born in Oxford, Massachusetts in 1821, Clara Barton's interest in helping soldiers on the battlefield
began when she was told army stories from her father. Another event that influenced her decision to
help soldiers was an accident her brother had. His injuries were cared for by Barton for 2 year. At
the time, she was only 11 years old. Barton began teaching school at the age of 15. She taught for
18 years before she moved to Washington, D.C in 1854.
The civil war broke out 6 years later. Immediately, Barton started war service by helping the
soldiers with their needs. At the battle of Bull run, Clara Barton received permission from the
government to take care of the sick and hurt. Barton did this with great empathy and kindness. She
acknowledged each soldier as a person. her endurance and courage on the battlefield were admired
by many. When the war ended in 1865, she used 4 years of her life to assist the government in
searching for soldiers who were missing during the war.
The search for missing soldiers and years of hard work made her feeble physically. In 1869, her
doctors recommended a trip to Europe for a rest. While she was on vacation, she became involved
with the International Red Cross, an organization set up by the Geneva Convention in 1864. Clara
Barton realized that the Red Cross would be a best help to the United States. After she returned to
the United States, she worked very hard to create an American Red Cross. She talked to government
leaders and let American people know about the Red Cross. In 1881, the National Society of the
Red Cross was finally established with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. Clara Barton managed
its activities for 23 years.
Barton never let her age stop her from helping people. At the age of 79, she helped food
victims in Galveston, Texas. Barton finally resigned from the Red Cross in 1904. She was 92 years
old and had truly earned her title "The Angel of the Battle".
Question 33. According to the paragraph 1, which of the following is true of the young Barton
Clara?
A. She helped her father when he was a soldier.
B. She helped her brother who hurt in an accident.
C. She made a decision to live with her brother for 2 years.
D. She suffered from an accident when she was 11.

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following questions
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all
living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where
sources of flowing water are rare. And since man's inexorable necessity is to absorb
large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many
creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms
unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals
can exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert
are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more
swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is
largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not
emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as
animals anywhere else in the word.
The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology.
None could survive if, like Mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday
sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours
asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night.
The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down
the temperature is only 60 degrees.
Question 43. Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the
desert, as_____ .
A. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
B. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert
C. water is an essential part of his existence
D. very few large animals are found in the desert

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.
Our lives are full of cardboard. The packaging of certain things we buy, from food products to
electrical goods, is made of cardboard. In the UK, over 8 million tons of the stuff is produced every
year just for packaging. It makes the things we buy more expensive, too. On average, 16% of the
money we spend on a product is for the packaging. And where does the packaging usually end up? In
the bin, of course, but hopefully that's the recycling bin not the rubbish bin!
Recycling cardboard is much more efficient than producing it in the first place. It takes 24%
less energy and produces 50% less sulphur dioxide to recycle it. Recycled cardboard has some
remarkable uses, too. Obviously, it ends up as packaging again, but it is also used as a building material.
It isn't as expensive as traditional materials and it is often more accessible. Some innovative and
environmentally friendly designers are actually using it to make furniture and buildings.
One such person is Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, who designed wonderful emergency
shelters made of cardboard tubes. The first people to use these were the survivors of the appalling
earthquake in Kobe, Japan, in 1995. Since then, they have been used in other places around the world
after terrible natural disasters. Perhaps Ban's most outstanding design is his cardboard cathedral in
Christchurch, New Zealand. His modem, eco-friendly cathedral for up to 700 people is a temporary
replacement for the ancient cathedral that was damaged in the earthquake in February 2011 .

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 36 to 42.
What was, just a few days ago, the object of eager speculation among British children has
become a reality. Schools are shut. For an unspecified period, learning will take place at home, except
for a minority of pupils who are deemed to be vulnerable, or whose parents are key workers. Closing
schools was a necessary step that should have been taken sooner, as it was in other countries. Across
the world, school is part of the rhythm of life - for parents and teachers as well as pupils. Because of
coronavirus, an estimated 800 million children globally are now having their education interrupted.
Some may welcome this, at least at first. Nobody wants to catch Covid-19, or be responsible for
spreading it. With British schooling in preparation for primary school SATs, GCSEs and A-levels,
lessons can be more like drills than investigations. Some parents have already begun sharing plans (and
jokes) about homeschooling. However, most parents will feel less well equipped to teach older children.

The social impact of being separated from peers also varies for different age groups. Almost
all children, including some who find school difficult, benefit from the social experiences that it offers.
But for teenagers, whose emotional development requires them to become more separate from their
parents and carers, being forced back into the family nest carries particular stresses.
But economic inequality will be the biggest variable between the experiences of British
children over the next few months. In any society, school is a leveller. When they are there, pupils
share the same spaces, lessons, menus and teachers. At home, children of well-off parents invariably
live in bigger houses, are more likely to have their own bedrooms, two parents rather than one to
support them, and better access to technology as well as books and other learning resources, and food.
We must do our best over the corning months, and no one should begrudge those who are looking
forward to lessons or weekday lunches with their children. But during this particular period, the
government should do everything in its power to ensure that more vulnerable children and families do not
lose out. When things get back to normal, anyone who have fallen behind must be helped to catch up.

correct answer to each of the questions .
In 16th-century France, the start of the new year was observed on April 1st. It was celebrated much
the same way it is today- with parties and dancing into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope
Gregory introduced a new calendar to the Christian world, and the new year fell on January 1 st. Some
people either didn’t hear about the new calendar system or didn’t believe the change had really been
made. These people continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1st. They became the target of jokes.
People played tricks on them and called them “April’s fools.” They sent them on a “fool’s errand” or tried
to make them believe that something false was true.
Today, some Americans continued the tradition by playing tricks on their friends on the first of
April. One well-known trick or practical joke is to put salt in the sugar bowl. Something that college
students do is to print false headlines in their college newspaper - such as “FREE BEER IN THE
LIBRARY”. Most April Fool’s jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The best April
Fool’s joke is one where everyone laughs, especially the person the joke is played on.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
[1] Dreams occur when we are experiencing REM (RAPID EYE MOVEMENT) sleep. We dream about
two hours a night (six years of our lives). No one is sure why we dream, but some scientists,
psychologists and religions have their theories. Scientist Jie Zhang proposes that dreams are our way of
processing data about the events of the day. Psychologist Sigmund Freud suggested dreams allow our
minds to express things we don’t think about when awake.
[2] Throughout history, different cultures have turned to religion for explanations. The ancient Greeks
thought dreams were messages from the gods. They built special temples in which dreams were “kept”.
They placed the sick in these temples as they thought dreams had the power to heal. The Egyptians
believed that gifted people could interpret dreams which were messages from God.
[3] Today, dream dictionaries have been developed to help people understand their nocturnal adventures.
For example, dreaming of a shark represents a person who is greedy. You need to take care when dealing
with this person. Dreaming of spiders means that you feel like an outsider and, if you dream of killing a
spider, you are experiencing a period of bad luck. If you dream of eating macaroni, you need to save
money and spend it wisely.
[4] There are dreams we share. Flying dreams often leave people feeling exhilarated. According to the
dream dictionary, they mean that we are on top of the world and feel in control. Ever had a dream
where you were walking around in your birthday suit? This is one people have when they feel
vulnerable and fear that others will see right through them. They have a fear of looking silly or being
made fun of.
[5] How about falling dreams? The sickening feeling of plummeting through the air and then walking just
before you hit the ground! (By the way, you won’t actually die if you dream that you hit the ground.) This
shows that you are anxious and insecure. You have lost control of the situation.
[6] Are dreams our inner desires, our minds making sense of their current circumstances, predictions of
the failure or messages from the gods? Perhaps they have no meaning at all. As science is of little help in
clearing up the mystery, you will have to make up your own mind. Sweet dreams!
Question 38: According to the passage, dream dictionaries are used to ______.
A. understand messages from the gods B. help us control our dreams
C. prevent falling dreams D. help us interpret our dreams
Question 39: What does the author mean by the sentence “Ever had a dream where you were walking

A. You should beware of a greedy person if you have a shark dream.
B. Spider dreams indicate that you feel like you lack a sense of belonging.
C. Some dreams, like flying dreams, are shared by many of us.
D. You fall off your bed and hit the ground when you have a falling dream.
Question 41: What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Studying dreams can help predict our future.
B. The reason we dream has not been discovered.
C. Dreams convey messages from the gods to us.
D. Psychologists claim that dreams are our inner desires.
Question 42: The phrase “on top of the world” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. very secure B. controllable C. outstanding D. extremely happy
Question 43: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to_______.
A. the gods B. different cultures C. special temples D. the Ancient Greeks

A. dreams are our mysterious adventures while asleep.
B. dreams tend to occur when we quickly fall into a deep sleep.

from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions.
Câu 1: A. volumes B. takes C. laughs D. develops
Câu 2: A. harm B. garden C. various D. farm
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.
By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably increase
their children’s language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a
big difference in the children’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to
what the parent is reading, the child’s language skills increase.
A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children
participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental
group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended
questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggy doing?”
rather than, “Is the doggy running away?” Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their
children’s answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.
At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the
end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a
test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still
showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.

A. ask open-ended questions B. use yes-no questions

D. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.
Câu 5: What was the major difference between the control group and the experimental one in the study?
A. The age of the children B. The books that were read
C. The training that parents received D. The number of participants
Câu 6: Parents can give great help to their children’s language development by………them.

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.
Less than a year ago marketing director, David Smith, 33 was behaving like a secret agent. He used to
secretly tape all his conversations, he refused to sign his name and he would ask his secretary to check all
his emails. Anything he wrote was photocopied and kept as “evidence”. But David isn’t mad, or even mildly
eccentric. He suffers from ‘responsibility OCD’, one of more common form of obsessive compulsive
disorder, or OCD, as it is usually known.
OCD is now recognized as the second most prevalent mental-health problem, after depression – and
the number of reported cases is soaring. Experts estimate that 2% - 3% of the population suffer from the full-
blown syndrome, with as many as one in five suffering from a milder form.
OCD sufferers are tortured by obsessional thoughts, such as worrying that their hands are
contaminated by germs. The terrible anxiety is only relieved by performing a particular set of behaviors.
Unfortunately, any sense of relief is short-lived, which is why the behavior must be repeated again and
again. OCD sufferers know their behavior is irrational, yet feel powerless to stop.
Common treatments are either antidepressants or behavioral therapy with a psychologist, but only 60%
of patients show some improvement. However, a new treatment from America is bringing fresh hope to
sufferers.
One of the OCD gurus and neuropsychiatrists, Jeffrey Schwartz, has designed the Four Steps program
which employs meditation techniques with the aim of teaching sufferers to manage their symptoms by
themselves. “The goal is to learn to override false brain messages”, explains Schwartz.
There are different theories about what causes the disorder. Most experts recognize a genetic element
that can be triggered by a stressful event. Schwartz believes that the OCD ‘worry circuit’ is a direct result of
faulty brain chemistry. ‘When someone experiences an OCD thought, one part of the brain knows quite
clearly that the hand are not dirty’, explains Schwartz ‘Some part of the brain is standing apart from the
symptoms, reflecting on the sheer bizarreness of it all. The objective is to harness this impartial spectator so
that patients can use this healthy part of their brain to resist the compulsions.’ David Smith is delighted with
the results of Schwartz’s treatment. ‘Now I can sign cheques without a problem’, he says brightly. ‘And I
don’t photocopy them either. OCD used to feel like a huge stigma, but I don’t feel handicapped by it any
more. You just deal with it.’

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 used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out
so-called "energy drinks". These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer's body and mind. In
order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain
chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces
for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure bet
to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show that
all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person's energy level. Another problem is that
there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy
drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing
all the claims energy drinks make. He says, “It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result.” However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. “We just don't know at this point,” he says.

A. more choices B. more energy C. more caffeine D. more sugar

A. Red Bull B. the company C. one example D. thirst quencher
Question 40: The word “plausible” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to_______. .
A. reasonable B. impossible C. unlikely D. typical
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It has been scientifically proved that energy drinks work.

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.
Human beings are plagued by all kinds of diseases and millions of people die from them. Many of these
diseases such as diabetes, polio, whooping cough and diphtheria can be fatal and in the past, people used
to die from them. However, with modern technology and a lot of research, scientists and doctors have
come up with various ways to cure these diseases, and consequently, many lives are saved.
In doing the medical research, doctors have come face to face with many problems. One such problem
is the opposition that comes from animal activists. They are against the inhuman treatment of animals.

They argue that in conducting their medical research, doctors put animals through a very painful process
and this should be stopped. According to the fiercest animal activists, nothing justifies the use of animals in
medical experiments, even if lives might be saved.
To get their message across, animal activists are even willing to resort to the use of violence. Many
animal protection groups, like the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), have broken into laboratories illegally to
'rescue' animals. They take away whatever animals they can find and free them. These people also make
their case by threatening the researchers. They vandalize medical equipment, and in the most serious
cases, they even use bombs.
In stealing the animals, the activists are actually hindering the progress of medicine. In many cases, the
animals were part of research for the cure for various diseases and visual defects in babies. Cures for
problems that people face, therefore, come slower and in the waiting period, more people die.
Researchers have come up with many cures in the process of working with animals and on animals.
Organ transplants are so common today, but we forget they became only possible after they were tested
on animals. Doctors were able to come up with a cure for river blindness, a disease that affects millions of
people in South America and Africa. These are only a few examples, and there are many more. In spite of
what animal activists think, most researches do not treat animals cruelly. In fact, mistreated animals which
are in agony will affect the quality of research so that results obtained are not really reliable. Thus,
researchers do try to treat animals as well as possible.
In the long run, animal activists can cause serious damage to the future of medicine. With their
persistent campaigning, much of the public supports their cause. People with AIDS or cancer need doctors
to do research to save their lives, and often it is a case where animal research is crucial before any cure
can be found.

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.
Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly
cherished goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group
organization and attitudes.
In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group contains nearly
all of each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member. There is an
interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation
Trang 1/5 - Mã đề 401 - https://thi247.com/
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
itself is valued.
While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterature societies, secondary cooperation
is characteristic of many modem societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives
to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the
group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their
cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are
examples of secondary cooperation.
In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared
work. The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is loose and fragile.
Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks down when the common
means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence
the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.
Question 9: What is the author’s main purpose in the first paragraph of the passage?
A. To explain how cooperation differs from competition and conflict
B. To urge readers to cooperate more often
C. To offer a brief definition of cooperation
D. To show the importance of group organization and attitudes
Question 10: The word “cherished” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to………. .
A. defined B. prized C. set up D. agreed on

passage?
A. It is most commonly seen among people who have not yet developed reading and writing skills.
B. It is usually the first stage of cooperation achieved by a group of individuals attempting to
cooperate.
C. It was confined to prehistoric times.
D. It is an ideal that can never be achieved.
Question 12: According to the passage, why do people join groups that practice secondary cooperation?
A. To defeat a common enemy
B. To experience the satisfaction of cooperation
C. To get rewards for themselves
D. To associate with people who have similar backgrounds
Question 13: Which of the following is an example of the third form of cooperation as it is defined in the
fourth paragraph?
A. Members of a farming community share work and the food that they grow.
B. Students form a study group so that all of them can improve their grades.
C. A new business attempts to take customers away from an established company.
D. Two rival political parties temporarily work together to defeat a third party.

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.
The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a
single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such
as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and particularly indigenous societies, the latter is
the most common basic form of social organization.
A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two
parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other
dwellings. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the
number of children in a nuclear family.
The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered
by the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South
American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization.
The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage.
Anthropologically, the term "extended family" refers to such a group living together in a household,
often with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal
societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term
"extended family" is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though
they are not living together in a single group.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from 6 to 10.
Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins hold about 300 million
cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the
atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than
24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents. This vast amount is required to replenish
the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the
hydrosphere permits organic existence. The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has
properties unlike those of any other liquid. One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9
percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of
sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer
of surface melt water during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the
interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent. Another
outstanding characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and
solids except ammonia. This characteristic enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat,
thereby often preventing climatic extremes. In addition, water dissolves more substances than any other
liquid. It is this characteristic which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been
washed down from the continents. In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially
exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practiced, potash (KCO3) is extracted from the Dead Sea, and
magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast.
Câu 6: The phrase "This vast amount" refers to _______.
A. 300 million cubic miles of water B. 80,000 million cubic of water
C. 80,000 cubic miles of water D. 24,000 cubic miles of rain

A. ice floats

Many of us worry about the effects of television on family life. We think that we spend too much time watching
television and that it takes us away from more important activities, such as reading, exercising and talking to family
and friends. But is this really true?
Studies have shown that people in the United States do spend a lot of time in front of their television sets. About
98% of American homes have at least one TV set, and in the average home the TV is on more than six hours a day.
But how much attention do people actually pay to the programs? And do people who watch TV really spend less time
on other free-time activities? Recently some researchers in New York City tried to find the answers to these questions
by conducting a telephone survey. They phoned more than a thousand people all over the United States and asked
them questions about how they spend their free time.
No one was surprised to find out that watching TV is the most popular free-time activity in the United States. More
than 70% of those asked said that they watch TV every day or almost every day. The second most popular activity that
Trang 2/4 - Mã đề thi 001 - https://thi247.com/
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
they mentioned was reading the newspaper. Listening to music at home was third, talking on the phone to friends and
relatives was fourth and doing some form of exercise was fifth.
But the researchers discovered an interesting fact about Americans' TV habits. According to this survey, although
most people turn the TV on every day, they do not actually watch it very much. Six out of ten people said that when
the TV is on, they seldom pay attention to it. During a typical television program, they may eat dinner, do housework,
read a newspaper or magazine, talk to their children or even read to them. The TV may be on, but it is just background
music.
The researchers therefore concluded that television does not take Americans away from more important activities.
It doesn't keep them from doing other free-time activities. In fact, when they compared people who frequently watch
TV and those who seldom watch TV, they found that there were no great differences in their other activities. The
frequent watchers read to their children and talk to their families just as much as the others.
(Adapted from “Reading Academic English” by Judy Rapoport, Ronit Broder and Sarah Feingold)
Câu 31: Which of the following could be the best tittle of the passage?
A. The TV is on but who’s watching? B. Do people prefer watching TV to other free-time activities?
C. Is TV always bad? D. What are people’s TV habits?
Câu 32: According to the passage, the following are true, EXCEPT ____________.
A. American people have their TV on for more than a quarter of a day.
B. Reading newspapers ranks second in popularity, just after watching TV.
C. Almost all American households own one or more TV sets.
D. About a third of those asked spent more time on other free-time activities.
Câu 33: The word “conducting” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____________.
A. preparing B. organizing C. asking D. reviewing
Câu 34: What did the researchers find about Americans’ TV habits in their survey?
A. Infrequent watchers do a more variety of activities than others.
B. People who seldom watch TV spend more time on children than frequent watchers.
C. TV distracts most people from doing other activities.
D. 60% of frequent watchers often do others things while the TV is on.
Câu 35: What does the word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. free-time activities B. Americans C. the researchers D. frequent watchers

WWF, in full World Wide Fund for Nature, international organization committed to conservation of the
environment. In North America, it is called the World Wildlife Fund.
In 1960, a group of British naturalists - most notably biologist Sir Julian Huxley, artist and conservationist Peter
Scott, and ornithologists Guy Montfort and Max Nicholson - led an effort to establish an organization that protected
endangered species and their habitats. The following year the World Wildlife Fund was founded; the international
name was subsequently changed to World Wide Fund for Nature in 1989, although in the United States and Canada it
retained the founding name. The organization's distinctive panda logo was created by Scott. In the face of growing
environmental threats over the ensuing years, the WWF's activities expanded in scope. Today its mission statement is
threefold: to conserve the world's biological diversity, to ensure that the use of renewable natural resources is
sustainable, and to promote the reduction of pollution and of wasteful consumption. The organization has long
included both conservationists and businesspeople with the intention of combining solid scientific data with well-
managed action. It also seeks cooperation between nongovernmental organizations, local governments, and local
populations. The WWF works closely with the World Conservation Union and has formed partnerships with the
United Nations, the World Bank, and the European Union.
The WWF provides money for conservation initiatives around the world. These include programs focused on
individual species, forests, and freshwater and marine issues as well as climate change and responsible international
trade. The group has also been involved in efforts to provide a safe and sustainable habitat for the world's peoples,
both urban and rural, including clean water, clean air, healthful food, and rewarding recreation areas. Among the
WWF's notable achievements is its use of debt-for-nature swaps, in which an organization buys some of a country's
foreign debt at a discount, converts the money to local currency, and then uses it to finance conservation efforts. The
WWF's first successful debt-for-nature swap took place in 1987 in Ecuador.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the WWF was active in more than 100 countries and had more than five
million supporters. The organization's international headquarters are in Gland, Switz., and it has more than 90 offices
around the world.

Many of us worry about the effects of television on family life. We think that we spend too much time watching
television and that it takes us away from more important activities, such as reading, exercising and talking to family
and friends. But is this really true?
Studies have shown that people in the United States do spend a lot of time in front of their television sets. About
98% of American homes have at least one TV set, and in the average home the TV is on more than six hours a day.
But how much attention do people actually pay to the programs? And do people who watch TV really spend less time
on other free-time activities? Recently some researchers in New York City tried to find the answers to these questions
by conducting a telephone survey. They phoned more than a thousand people all over the United States and asked
them questions about how they spend their free time.
No one was surprised to find out that watching TV is the most popular free-time activity in the United States. More
than 70% of those asked said that they watch TV every day or almost every day. The second most popular activity that
Trang 2/4 - Mã đề thi 001 - https://thi247.com/
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
they mentioned was reading the newspaper. Listening to music at home was third, talking on the phone to friends and
relatives was fourth and doing some form of exercise was fifth.
But the researchers discovered an interesting fact about Americans' TV habits. According to this survey, although
most people turn the TV on every day, they do not actually watch it very much. Six out of ten people said that when
the TV is on, they seldom pay attention to it. During a typical television program, they may eat dinner, do housework,
read a newspaper or magazine, talk to their children or even read to them. The TV may be on, but it is just background
music.
The researchers therefore concluded that television does not take Americans away from more important activities.
It doesn't keep them from doing other free-time activities. In fact, when they compared people who frequently watch
TV and those who seldom watch TV, they found that there were no great differences in their other activities. The
frequent watchers read to their children and talk to their families just as much as the others.
(Adapted from “Reading Academic English” by Judy Rapoport, Ronit Broder and Sarah Feingold)

WWF, in full World Wide Fund for Nature, international organization committed to conservation of the
environment. In North America, it is called the World Wildlife Fund.
In 1960, a group of British naturalists - most notably biologist Sir Julian Huxley, artist and conservationist Peter
Scott, and ornithologists Guy Montfort and Max Nicholson - led an effort to establish an organization that protected
endangered species and their habitats. The following year the World Wildlife Fund was founded; the international
name was subsequently changed to World Wide Fund for Nature in 1989, although in the United States and Canada it
retained the founding name. The organization's distinctive panda logo was created by Scott. In the face of growing
environmental threats over the ensuing years, the WWF's activities expanded in scope. Today its mission statement is
threefold: to conserve the world's biological diversity, to ensure that the use of renewable natural resources is
sustainable, and to promote the reduction of pollution and of wasteful consumption. The organization has long
included both conservationists and businesspeople with the intention of combining solid scientific data with well-
managed action. It also seeks cooperation between nongovernmental organizations, local governments, and local
populations. The WWF works closely with the World Conservation Union and has formed partnerships with the
United Nations, the World Bank, and the European Union.
The WWF provides money for conservation initiatives around the world. These include programs focused on
individual species, forests, and freshwater and marine issues as well as climate change and responsible international
trade. The group has also been involved in efforts to provide a safe and sustainable habitat for the world's peoples,
both urban and rural, including clean water, clean air, healthful food, and rewarding recreation areas. Among the
WWF's notable achievements is its use of debt-for-nature swaps, in which an organization buys some of a country's
foreign debt at a discount, converts the money to local currency, and then uses it to finance conservation efforts. The
WWF's first successful debt-for-nature swap took place in 1987 in Ecuador.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the WWF was active in more than 100 countries and had more than five
million supporters. The organization's international headquarters are in Gland, Switz., and it has more than 90 offices
around the world.

answer, for there is no wall to be found around the university. The university is the city. You can find the
classroom buildings, libraries, museums and offices of the university all over the city. And most of its
members are the students and teachers or professors of the thirty-one colleges. Cambridge is already a
developing town long before the first students and teachers arrived 800 years ago. It grew up by the river
Granta, as the Cam was once called. A bridge was built over the river as early as 875.
In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, more and more land was used for college buildings. The town
grew faster in the nineteenth century after the opening of the railway in 1845. Cambridge became a city in 1951
and now it has the population of over 100,000. Many young students want to study at Cambridge. Thousands of

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’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of work
because they’re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano practice because
it’s so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take
exams. But the story is different when you’re older.
Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History
and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late - I was
the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could
persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn’t frightened to ask
questions, and homework was a pleasure not a pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me
alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got was entirely personal.
Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy is
that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It
has learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose
in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department.
In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less frustrated. Experience has
told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll get the hang
of it. The confidence you have in other areas - from being able to drive a car, perhaps - means that if you can’t,
say, build a chair instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells
you that you will, with application, eventually get there.
I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a teacher who could
explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never grasp,
was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I’d played for my school exams, with just
as little comprehension of what the composer intended as I’d had all those years before. But soon, complex
emotions that I never knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes
perfect.

A. George is as dependable as anyone.

THE NEW CORONAVIRUS
At the end of 2019, a new type of coronavirus started ……24…in China. This type of
coronavirus is often called 2019-nCoV, novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. It is believed that the
virus was …25 ….. from animals to humans. Some of the first cases were diagnosed in
people who had visited a market selling live seafood and animals. Unfortunately, when
viruses are transmitted from animals to people, it can take scientists a lot of time before they
can develop a vaccine or medicines to …26 … it.
Some of the ….27 …. of the coronavirus are fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, headache,
and trouble breathing. These symptoms are very much like those people have with a cold or
the flu. The virus can be more serious in some people, especially if they are sick or have
health problems.
While it is early to have a definite picture of the disease because scientists are still collecting
the data, some patterns have already emerged. Some early reports reveal that children seem
to be getting coronavirus at much lower rates than adults. Even if they get infected, the
symptoms are milder. However, most people who get severely infected are those with a weak
immune system, like the elderly. Coronavirus may be life-threatening for these people. They
may develop more serious …28… tract illnesses that may be fatal.

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.
People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children stay healthy while
playing with others. However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may
produce feelings of poor self-esteem or aggressive behavior in some children. According to
research on kids and sports, 40 million kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18 million say
they have been yelled at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children
with a bad impression of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too
much aggression in children’s sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior.
This behavior is then further reinforced through both positive and negative feedback.
Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often
these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is
everything. At children’s sporting events, parents may yell insults at other players or cheer
when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other
players is acceptable, or they may be pushed to continue playing even when they are injured.
In addition, the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and
see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents
and coaches should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children
better values. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is
not necessary to knock yourself out to enjoy sports. Winning is not everything. In addition,
children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. Sending a child
with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health is not as important as
winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 2 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen)
Question 29. Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. Children should be discouraged to play sports when they are too young.
B. Playing sports is not always beneficial to children’s health.

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.
Sophia is a humanoid robot developed by Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. She
has been designed to learn and adapt to human behavior and work with humans, and has
been interviewed around the world. In October 2017, she became a Saudi Arabian citizen,
the first robot to receive citizenship of a country.
According to herself, Sophia was activated on April 19, 2015. She is modeled after actress
Audrey Hepburn, and is known for her human-like appearance and behavior compared to
previous robotic variants. According to the manufacturer, David Hanson, Sophia has
artificial intelligence, visual data processing and facial recognition. Sophia also imitates
THPT TX Quảng Trị - thi thử TNTHPT lần 1 năm học 2019-2020 – MĐ 168 Page 6
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
human gestures and facial expressions and is able to answer certain questions and to make
simple conversations on predefined topics (e.g. on the weather). The robot uses voice
recognition technology from Alphabet Inc. (parent company of Google) and is designed to
get smarter over time. Sophia’s intelligence software is designed by SingularityNET. The AI
program analyses conversations and extracts data that allows her to improve responses in the
future. It is conceptually similar to the computer program ELIZA, which was one of the first
attempts at simulating a human conversation.
Hanson designed Sophia to be a suitable companion for the elderly at nursing homes, or to
help crowds at large events or parks. He hopes that she can ultimately interact with other
humans sufficiently to gain social skills.
Sophia has been interviewed in the same manner as a human, striking up conversations with
hosts. Some replies have been nonsensical, while others have been impressive, such as
lengthy discussions with Charlie Rose on 60 Minutes. In a piece for CNBC, when the
interviewer expressed concerns about robot behavior, Sophia joked that he had “been reading
too much Elon Musk, and watching too many Hollywood movies”. Musk tweeted that
Sophia could watch The Godfather and suggested “What’s the worst that could happen?”.
On October 11, 2017, Sophia was introduced to the United Nations with a brief conversation
with the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, Amina J. Mohammed. On October 25, at
the Future Investment Summit in Riyadh. She was granted Saudi Arabian citizenship,
becoming the first robot ever to have a nationality. This attracted controversy as some
commentators wondered if this implied that SOphia could vote or marry, or whether a
deliberate system shutdown could be considered murder. Social media users used Sophia’s
citizenship to criticize Saudi Arabia’s human rights record.

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number
has varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of
the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies.
Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by
that time Vermont and Kentucky had joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention of
Trang 2 - https://thi247.com/
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
mint officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for
example, some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half-dollars were produced with sixteen stars.
As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme
would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 on were issued with only thirteen stars-one for each
of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half cent was issued with
only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this is the result of a
die break and is not a true error.
31. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Teaching of astronomy in state universities B. Stars on American coins
C. Colonial stamps and coins D. The star as national symbol of the United States
32. The word "bore" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

B. Vermont and Kentucky joined the Union in 1794
C. no silver coins were issue until 1794

A. Vermont and Kentucky joined at the same time.
B. Kentucky joined before Tennessee and Vermont.
C. Tennessee joined after Vermont and Kentucky.
D. Vermont joined after Tennessee and Kentucky.

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 36. to 42
Learning does not just mean studying from a textbook and copying it down come test time — it
refers to drawing meaning from your work and seeing how it’s important and connected to a broader
concept or idea.
Though for many students “learning” may consist of memorizing formulas, dates, and facts, they
often miss the bigger picture. If you spend all of your efforts on memorizing and none of your efforts
on understanding what you are actually doing, by the time the next test rolls around, the information
stored in your short term memory may be completely forgotten.
As an example, take two students, Julie and Brian. Both students are in high school, getting ready
for an upcoming mathematics test. Julie memorizes the way that you solve each problem, all of the
formulas, and knows exactly what steps she needs to do to solve any of the example questions. Brian
also memorizes the formulas but concentrates on the why — and understands why the examples are
done the way that they are, comprehending the methods and connecting any relevant prior knowledge
to each question at hand. Both might ace the test, but come exam time, Julie will have to memorize the
concepts all over again — and one slight twist in the question may throw her off. Brian, however,
understanding the concepts behind his steps, will be much better off come any challenging question,
and practicing questions will come more naturally to him.
That being said, not all students must be categorized into being a Julie or a Brian — instead, they
may fit in between the two. The important take-away is understanding how important asking “why?”
really is. In the midst of stress or a heavy workload, this question is often forgotten — yet it is the key
to lifelong learning. Practicing the art of asking “why” not only enriches one’s curiosity, but it feeds
your desire to learn beyond the textbook.
(Adapted from https://medium.com/)
36. Which is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. How to Prepare for the Next Tests?
B. Julie and Brian’s Ways to Learn
C. When Can You Ace the Tests.
D. What Does Lifelong Learning Mean for Students?
Trang 3 - https://thi247.com/
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
37. The word “that” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. the examples B. the way C. the methods D. prior knowledge
38. According to paragraph 3, why is Brian’s method of learning superior to Julie’s?
A. He memorizes clearly and exactly formulas, dates, and facts.
B. He memorizes the way to solve each problem thoroughly.
C. He does not concentrate on why the problems are solved in the way they are.
D. He understands why, comprehends the methods and connects prior knowledge to the question.
39. The word “ace” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. set out B. involve in C. get out D. succeed in
40. Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. You should understand the meaning of your work.
B. It is enough to memorize formulas, dates, and facts.
C. Brian does not concentrate on the why.
D. It is not necessary to understand the importance of asking why.
41. The word “twist” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. change B. storage C. relation D. emotion
42. According to the passage, what is one of the benefits of asking why?
A. Saying no to textbooks B. Knowledge beyond our effort
C. Satisfying our curiosity D. Making heavy work-load easy

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 36. to 42
Learning does not just mean studying from a textbook and copying it down come test time — it
refers to drawing meaning from your work and seeing how it’s important and connected to a broader
concept or idea.
Though for many students “learning” may consist of memorizing formulas, dates, and facts, they
often miss the bigger picture. If you spend all of your efforts on memorizing and none of your efforts
on understanding what you are actually doing, by the time the next test rolls around, the information
stored in your short term memory may be completely forgotten.
As an example, take two students, Julie and Brian. Both students are in high school, getting ready
for an upcoming mathematics test. Julie memorizes the way that you solve each problem, all of the
formulas, and knows exactly what steps she needs to do to solve any of the example questions. Brian
also memorizes the formulas but concentrates on the why — and understands why the examples are
done the way that they are, comprehending the methods and connecting any relevant prior knowledge
to each question at hand. Both might ace the test, but come exam time, Julie will have to memorize the
concepts all over again — and one slight twist in the question may throw her off. Brian, however,
understanding the concepts behind his steps, will be much better off come any challenging question,
and practicing questions will come more naturally to him.
That being said, not all students must be categorized into being a Julie or a Brian — instead, they
may fit in between the two. The important take-away is understanding how important asking “why?”
really is. In the midst of stress or a heavy workload, this question is often forgotten — yet it is the key
to lifelong learning. Practicing the art of asking “why” not only enriches one’s curiosity, but it feeds
your desire to learn beyond the textbook.

The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate
change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the
consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people.This
is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and
expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal
erosion, rising sea level, more erratic rainfall, and droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain
people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases
and insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also
favourable.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
stated, "Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate
change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.”

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 44 to 50.
Language has enabled our species to formulate ideas and exchange information. One characteristic of
language is that it is ever-evolving, changing to meet the needs of the people speaking it. Countries tend to
adopt a national language that makes it easy for their inhabitants to communicate with one another as well as
with outside entities. While this encourages the spread of certain language, it can also lead to the death of
others. Consider the spread of Latin in ancient world as it pertains to English usage today.
Latin was the language spoken in the Roman Empire, which included the Mediterranean and parts of
Europe. Latin became so widespread that the languages of many modern European countries are based on the
Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 301 - https://thi247.com/
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
Latin language. However, despite its contribution to modern language, Latin in itself is no longer spoken as a
primary language. The eventual demise of Latin occurred because, as it spread out over hundreds of years, it
took on different dialects and pronunciations based on the different regions in which it was used. Rather than
adopting Latin as a language, foreign people took the roots of Latin words and adapted them into their own
languages. Hence, Latin’s popularity is one of the reasons why it ultimately fell out of use. As Latin did
centuries ago, English is swiftly becoming the world’s most widely used language, spoken by people on the
majority of the seven continents and declared the national language in at least thirty-four countries. As with
Latin, the accent and tone may differ from country to country, but the basics of the vernacular have their
foundation in Standard English.
Linguistics predict that, like Latin, English will experience a immense spread and then subsequent
break-up as the languages that got their start in English change into languages unique unto them. They feel
that this can already be seen in areas such as the islands of Caribbean. While English is recognized as the
national language of these countries, it has quite a different sound than English spoken everywhere else in
the world. In other countries, English words have taken on completely different meanings from what they
were originally. In the African country of Uganda, for example, natives use the word “extend” to mean
“move over” or “get out of the way” rather than the more universally understood meaning of “lengthen” or
“stretch”. People in the South American country of Guyana refer to “operation” when speaking of having an
upset stomach or diarrhea. We can clearly see that English, like Latin, is being adapted to create other words
or to take on new meanings.

answer to each of the questions.
A pioneer leader for women’s rights, Susan Anthony became one of the leading women reformers of the 19th
century. In Rochester, New York, she began her first public crusade on behalf of temperance, the habit of not
drinking alcohol. The temperance movement dealt with the abuses of women and children that suffered from
alcoholic husbands. Also, she worked tirelessly against slavery and for women’s rights. Anthony helped write the
history of woman suffrage.
At the time Anthony lived, women did not have the right to vote. Because she voted in the 1872 election, a
US official arrested Anthony. She hoped to prove that women had the legal right to vote under the provisions of
the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. At her trial, a hostile federal judge found her guilty and fined
her $100, which she refused to pay.
Anthony did not work alone. She worked with reformers of women’s rights such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton
and Amelia Bloomer. Susan worked for the American Anti-Slavery Society with Frederick Douglas, a fugitive
slave and black abolitionist.
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.
In December 2019, a number of pneumonia cases were reported in Wuhan, eastern China. The pneumonia is
associated with a new type of coronavirus. This virus has now spread to other cities in China. There have also
been cases in other countries around the world. Coronaviruses get their names because they look like crowns
under the microscope. This group of viruses causes diseases in humans and other animals, including pigs and
chickens. It is thought that the new coronavirus outbreak started in a market in Wuhan, which sold meat and live
animals. Scientists say that the virus is not closely related to any human virus currently known. The World Health
Organization has told countries around the world to track respiratory infections in their populations. There is
currently no vaccination against the corona virus.
The Wuhan coronavirus outbreak is similar to the 2002-03 epidemic of SARS coronavirus. This outbreak,
which started in south China, spread to 37 countries, causing 8,098 people to become ill and 774 to die. Nearly
10% of people who were infected with SARS died. The deadly nature of the disease, the frequent human-to-
human spread, and infection of hospital staff contributed to the seriousness of the outbreak. SARS was traced to
several types of wild animals, which were sold as food in markets. The infected animals had no symptoms. The
outbreak was stopped by closing markets and killing animals, and by treating and isolating patients. SARS has
not been seen since 2003 and it is thought that the virus has now disappeared.
There are seven coronaviruses known to infect people, including the new Wuhan coronavirus and SARS.
Other human coronaviruses are those that cause the common cold, as well as the deadly MERS virus. MERS is a
common cold virus that often jumps from camels to humans in the Middle East. It can cause severe pneumonia in
people and spread from person to person. MERS was identified in 2012 and continues to be a significant problem
in the Middle East. Nearly 2,500 cases of MERS have been identified, causing 858 deaths.
How the new Wuhan coronavirus came to be in humans, and how closely it resembled the SARS outbreak
will be a focus of ongoing research. Outbreaks of new viruses, such as the Wuhan coronavirus, are a reminder of
the need to invest in research in virus biology and evolution, how viruses infect and interact with human cells,
and most importantly, to identify safe and effective drugs to treat or vaccines to prevent serious disease.

Many people feel a mid-afternoon slump in mood and alertness. Many people believe that this slump is caused by
eating a heavy lunch, or by getting a poor night's sleep the night before. In fact, this slump occurs naturally
because humans were meant to have a mid-aftemoon nap.
Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, and Bill Clinton are all famous fans of napping - and with
good reason. Various evidence, including the universal tendency of toddlers and the elderly to nap in the
afternoon, and the afternoon nap of siesta cultures, have led many scientists to the same conclusion: nature tells
us to take a nap in the middle of the day. Short periods of sleep have been shown to improve alertness, memory
and motor skills, decision-making, and mood - all while cutting down on stress, carelessness, and even heart
disease.
Our biological urge to sleep in the middle of the afternoon coincides with a slight drop in body temperature. This
drop occurs whether we have lunch or not. A midday nap is apart of the daily routine of many cultures,
t^k
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
especially those near the equator. This all seems to suggests that napping may have been part of an ancient
biologieal sigflal to get us out of the hot midday sun.
Whatever the reason, if you have an opportunity for an afternoon nap, take one. Studies show that20 minutes of
sleep in the afternoon provides more rest than getting 20 minutes more sleep in the morning. A 20-minute power
nap provides the energy for a fresh burst of new ideas and energy. Naps seem to eliminate the need for more
caffeine during the workday, and this lowers stress.
The do's and don'ts of napping
The early afternoon seems to be the best time to nap - approximately eight hours after you have woken up in the
morning. Twenty to thirty minutes is all you need to get the full rewards of a midday nap. There is no proof that
sleeping longer than this is any better; in fact, the opposite may be true.
In the dark, our brains produce more of the sleep-inducing hormon e melatonin, so close the blinds, turn off the
lights, and consider using a sleeping mask. Keep the temperature on the warrner side. Don't forget to turn off
your cell phone. And avoid caffeine for a few hours before a nap. Give it a try for yourself, andiee if you aren,t
amazed at the results!
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 36 to 42.
In past centuries, Native Americans living in the arid areas of what is now the southwestern United
States relies
on a variety of strategies to ensure the success of their agriculture. First and foremost, water was
the critical
factor. The soil was rich because there was little rain to leach out the minerals, but the low precipitation
caused its
own problems. Long periods of drought could have made agriculture impossible; on the other
hand, a sudden
flood could just as easily have destroyed a crop.
Several techniques were developed to solve the water problem. The simplest was to plant
crops in the floodplains
and wait for the annual floods to water the young crops. A less dangerous technique
was to build dikes or dams to
control the flooding. These dikes both protected the plants against excessive flooding and prevented
the water
from escaping too quickly once it had arrived. The Hopi p.opl. designed their fields in a &eckerboard
pattern,
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
with many small dikes, each enclosing only one or two stalks of maize (corn), while other groups built a series of
dams to control the floods. A third technique was to dig irrigation ditches to bring water from rivers. Water was
sometimes carried to the fields in jars, particularly if the season was dry. Some crops were planted where they
could be watered directly by the runoff from cliff walls.
Another strategy Native Americans used to ensure a continuous food supply was to plant their crops in more than
one place, hoping that if one crop failed, another would survive. However, since the soil was rich and not easily
exhausted, the same patch of ground could be cultivated year after year, whereas in the woodlands of the eastern
United States it was necessary to abandon a plot of ground after a few years of farming. In the Southwest, often
two successive crops were planted each year.
It was a common southwestern practice to grow enough food so that some could be dried and stored for
emergencies. If emergency supplies ran low, the people tumed to the local wild plants. If these failed, they moved
up into the mountains to gather the wild plants that might have survived in the cooler atmosphere.

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.
As you know, the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas emit greenhouse gases. That is
why environmentalists insist that we use clean, renewable energy sources. Wave energy, produced by
ocean surface waves, is both eco-friendly and cost-efficient. Research has suggested that ocean wave
power could make a major contribution to the world's energy resources. Scientists claim that using 1%
of wave energy can provide the equivalent of 500 times the world energy consumption. With 70% of the
earth's surface covered with water, wave energy is undoubtedly a valuable source of green energy.
However, there is the challenge of converting wave power into energy and transmitting it to shore.
Building and operating wave power stations in the ocean is far more expensive and difficult than on
land. Also, salt water is a very hostile environment to devices. They go rusty easily and cannot last as
long as those on shore. Sea waves make energy harvesting even harder by moving up and down most of
the time.

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 at school. This is a
normal development becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing
up. Young people are usually more willing to talk 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
plan but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for the danger

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.
Dolphins are one of the most intelligent species on the planet, which makes them a very
interesting animal to scientists. In their natural habitats, dolphins use various vocalization
techniques. They whistle and squeak to recognize members of their pod, identify and protect their
young, and call out warnings of danger. They also make clicking sounds used for echolocation to
find food and obstacles in dark and murky waters.
Amazingly, the whistling sound that the bottlenose dolphin makes has been found to have a
similar pattern to human language. They always make conversational sounds when they greet
each other. If you listen to dolphins' squeaks and squeals, it will sound like they are having a
conversation.
Dolphins usually use both sound and body language to communicate with each other. It is
through gesture and body language, however, that most of their communication with humans
comes. Dolphins can be trained to perform complicated tricks. This suggests they have a high
level of intelligence and communication capacity. If they work for a long time with a trainer, they
are able to recognize and understand human commands.
A lot of dolphin communication has been studied using dolphins in captive environments.
These studies have been criticized because some marine biologists believe that dolphins living in
aquariums or research centers cannot be considered "normal." Even so, most believe that
studying dolphin communication in captivity is useful for beginning to understand the complexity
of dolphin communication. After all, dolphins are one of the most intelligent animals. Their
ability to communicate is impressive and worthy of study.

Ecotourism is often regarded as a form of nature-based tourism and has become an
important alternative source of tourists. In addition to providing the traditional resort-leisure
product, it has been argued that ecotourism resort management should have a particular focus on
best-practice environmental management, an educational and interpretive component, and direct
and indirect contributions to the conservation of the natural and cultural environment.
Couran Cove Island Resort is a large integrated ecotourism-based resort located south of
Brisbane on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. As the world’s population becomes
increasingly urbanised, the demand for tourist attractions which are environmentally friendly,
serene and offer amenities of a unique nature, has grown rapidly. Couran Cove Resort, which is
one of such tourist attractions, is located on South Stradbroke Island, occupying approximately 150
hectares of the island. South Stradbroke Island is separated from the mainland by the Broadwater, a
stretch of sea 3 kilometers wide. Being located on an offshore island, the resort is only accessible
by means of water transportation. The resort provides hourly ferry service from the marina on the
mainland to and from the island. Within the resort, transport modes include walking trails, bicycle
tracks and the beach train. The reception area is the counter of the shop which has not changed in 8
years at least. The accommodation is an octagonal ‘Bure’. This is a large room that is clean but!
The equipment is basic and sometimes defective. Our ceiling fan only worked on high speed for
example. Beds are hard but clean, there is television, radio, an old air conditioner and a small
fridge. These “Bures” are right on top of each other and night noises do carry so be careful what
you say and do. The only thing is the mosquitos but if you forget to bring mosquito repellant they
sell some on the island.
As an ecotourism-based resort, most of the planning and development of the attraction has
been concentrated on the need to co-exist with the fragile natural environment of South Stradbroke
Island to achieve sustainable development.

With the arrival of Christianity in Europe, tattooing was forbidden. It virtually died out for

large and elaborate designs. Many of these sailors later joined circuses, and earned a living by showing

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.
People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children stay healthy while
playing with others. However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may produce
feelings of poor self-esteem or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids
and sports, 40 million kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18 million say they have been yelled at or
called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports. They
think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too
much aggression in children’s sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. This
behavior is then further reinforced through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches
are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave
aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. At children’s
sporting events, parents may yell insults at other players or cheer when their child behaves
aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable, or they may be
pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, the media makes violence seem
exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on
television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents and
coaches should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values.
They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is not necessary to knock
yourself out to enjoy sports. Winning is not everything. In addition, children should not be allowed to
continue to play when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the
message that health is not as important as winning. If we make some basic changes, children might
learn to enjoy sports again.
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 2 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen)

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.
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual
not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the
phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool
and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals
worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from
the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone
companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that
mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who
use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern
scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious
memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own
son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working
week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor
didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech
machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies
agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less
often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when
you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In
the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now,
it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

southwestern China's Sichuan Province. Hundreds of aftershocks followed in the area. The earthquake
destroyed thousands buildings, roads, schools and hospitals, as well as infrastructure like communication
networks and electrical towers. Thousands of people died or are missing, and more than 45 million people
were affected by the earthquake, which has been the worst natural disaster to hit China for 30 years.
The American Red Cross has contributed $20 million to support the relief and recovery efforts of the
Red Cross Society of China. These funds will be used to assist survivors through the purchase and
distribution of relief supplies, coordination of logistics and transportation of disaster workers to the hardest
hit areas. The American Red Cross has also sent relief experts to the affected area to help monitor and
coordinate the response efforts. On June 6, the American Red Cross co-hosted a forum to address the U.S.
response and recovery efforts following the earthquake. More than 30 representatives from humanitarian
organizations, the business companies and the government participated in the event.
Website: https://tailieudieuky.com/
More than 35,000 staff and volunteers with the Red Cross Society of China responded to the disaster by
distributing food, water, tents and other essential items. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies are providing 100,000 tents to help those in need.
The Red Cross Society of China is a very strong organization with extensive experience responding to
disasters. The American Red Cross has long history of working with the Red Cross Society of China, going
