II. READING COMPREHENSION

Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Global warming and cooling have occurred naturally throughout history. But in the last 200 years,
humans’ uses of fossil fuels and clear cutting of forests have increased the amount of carbon dioxide and other
gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap some of the radiation from the sun which then increases the Earth’s
temperature. Given the current state of environmental pollution caused by human activities, scientists believe
the average temperature of the earth may increase 1-2 degrees Celsius which put simply, means some places
will get much hotter and some much colder. At the same time, this overall warming effect means more frequent
and more intense weather systems, especially in terms of flooding and drought. '
Viet Nam is one of the most vulnerable environments due to its location on the planet. It is already subject
to some of the earth’s most powerful weather systems and the increased frequency and intensity of storms will
affect it often and directly, especially in coastal areas where most people live.
Various estimates have been made as to the possible impacts. The most directly affected sector will be
agriculture, which is very sensitive to flooding and the effects of extreme weather.
Viet Nam has the advantage of coming relatively late into the industrialization, urbanization, and
modernization process. This means it can avoid many of the mistakes made by wealthier industrial countries.
For example, wireless communication networks can be built from the start rather than installing lines that can
easily be destroyed in extreme weather. Cities can be designed and located in less vulnerable locations.
Climate-friendly building codes and standards can be created that are both more efficient and less prone to heat
stress, wind damage, and flooding. Climate friendly transport systems, especially public transport, can be
adopted.

1. The causes of global warming come from________.

A. the rise in the radiation from the sun
B. human activities that result in pollution
C. the difference in temperatures among regions
D. the increase in the average temperature of the earth
2. All of the following may result in global warming EXCEPT_______.
A. more intense weather systems
B. humans’ uses of fossil fuels
C. clear cutting of forests
D. the increasing greenhouse gas emissions
3. Coastal areas in Viet Nam are often and directly affected by_______.
A. its vulnerable location on the planet
B. subject to the earth’s most powerful weather systems
C. storms with increased frequency and power
D. the overpopulation in coastal areas
4. In preparing for climate change, Viet Nam should take all of the following measures EXCEPT .
A. developing wireless communication networks
B. setting climate-friendly building codes and standards
C. adopting public transport systems
D. coming late into the modernization process
5. The word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_______.
A. too weak to attack B. safe from danger
C. able to be easily hurt D. easy to take away

Read the following text and answer the questions.

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives young
people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for exams. The
students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the world, spend the morning studying. In
the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after people with
learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.
One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social
backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available. A
quarter of the students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government help. "I
really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young people" as Barbara
Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. "You learn to live with people and respect them, even the
ones you don't like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn't believe how much less I argued with my
sister".
To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really seem to
work.

1. What is the writer trying to do in the text?

A. give an opinion about a particular student.               B. give an opinion about a special type of education.
C. describe the activities students do in their free time. D. describe his own experience of education.
2. What can a reader find out from this text?
A. how to become a student at Atlantic College.              B. what kind of programme Atlantic College offers.
C. what the British education system is like. D. how to get along better with other people.
3. What is the writer's opinion of Atlantic College?
A. It doesn't allow students enough study time.               B. Its students are taught to like each other.              
C. It doesn't give good value for money. D. Its way of teaching is successful.
14. Since being at Atlantic College, Barbara_______.
A. has learnt a lot about other countries.                 B. has become more confident than her sister.          
C. finds it easier to get on with other people.  D. prefers her new friends to her family.
15. Which of these sentences is NOT true about Atlantic College?
A. Its students are from all over the world.
B. Many British students attend Atlantic College with the help from the government.
C. Its students take part into useful activities in the afternoon.
D. Its students are not taught needed experience of life outside the classroom.

Part 1. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer for each
question
Today’s urban cities are practically bursting at the seams. According to research from the United Nations,
54 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a percentage that is expected to increase to over 66
percent by 2050. In fact, India alone is projected to add 404 million urban dwellers to its population by 2050.
This rapid growth of the urban population has caused daunting problems for city planners, such as
overcrowded roads, excessive energy consumption and unemployment. Therefore, to build more sustainable
cities and accommodate the growing number of residents, many city leaders are turning to the Internet of
Things (loT).
The IoT has forever changed the way urban cities operate. Cities that were once detached and
inaccessible are now intelligent and highly connected.
From Amsterdam to Seoul, cities are launching smart city projects to help improve quality of life for
residents and better support the environment. According to research from IHS Technology, there will be at
least 88 smart cities globally by 2025, up from 21 in 2013.
San Francisco, for example, provides more than 100 charging stations in various locations to promote the
use of hybrid and electric cars to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Copenhagen is also taking
advantage of the IoT to improve environmental protection and reduce road traffic by developing smart bikes
equipped with sensors that generate data on air contamination and traffic congestion.
The possibilities afforded by the IoT are endless; however, designing smart cities requires comprehensive
technology infrastructure that is capable of capturing and processing large amounts of data quickly and
securely - which is where 4G LTE comes into play.
The future looks bright for urban cities. Soon they will be able to do things that only sci- fi enthusiasts
could dream of before, like monitoring bridge conditions using intelligent sensors and conserving energy by
automatically dimming street lights when no one is around.

Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Ha Long Bay is a group of offshore islands that is the best example of marine invaded limestone region in
the world. The Bay holds over 1,600 islands and islets. There are caves and grottoes, with stalactites and
stalagmites. Its limestone pillars are a unique natural feature of great scenic beauty and biological interest. The
great extent and the richness of its forms
Ha Long Bay is an extremely popular destination both for foreigners and Vietnamese: already in the early
1990s it saw over 1 million visitors a year. It is unlikely that the number has decreased over the years - so there
will always be about 3,000 other people in the Bay at the same time as you!
The natural beauty of the Bay lay hidden today under a very common fog. As I had already seen the similar
karst landscape in China a couple of years before, I certainly said that I was blown away by the beauty of Ha
Long Bay. We went onto one of the islands to visit the Surprising Cave - an indeed surprisingly big and
beautiful cave with three hollow chambers. We saw some monkeys here too, just outside the cave exit.
Part of the tour was half an hour of kayaking - enough to paddle a full circle around the main area. The
views from the kayak I found much more impressive than from the larger boat: you're so tiny then and the
peaks rise sharply in front of you. I had a better look at the water too, and cannot say that I saw pollution by
plastic or other junk floating around. There is a thin layer of oil on the water in some parts though.
And then it's time to get back in the bus to Ha Noi, another 3.5 hours. The tour was carried out well with
good seafood for lunch and I had a satisfying day.

A. the writer thought its beauty surpassed many other sites
B. the writer didn’t think the number of tourists had decreased over the years
C. the writer saw some monkeys in the chambers of the Surprising Cave
D. it took three and a half hours to travel from Ha Noi to Ha Long by bus

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer.
If you want to go to a university, you usually apply during your last year at school, when you are 17-18.
You can apply to study at any university in Britain and most people choose a university that is not in their own
town. So, university students usually live away from home. Students get a grant from the government to study.
At the beginning of your last year at school, you receive an application form. On this form you choose up to
five universities that you would like to go to. The form is sent to those universities with information from your
school about you and your academic record. If the universities are interested in your application, they will ask
you to attend an interview. If they are still interested after the interview, they will offer you a place.
Any offer, however, is only conditional at this stage. Applications and interviews take place several months before
students do their A-level examinations. These are the exams that you do at the end of your time at school. So, when a
university makes an offer, it will tell you the minimum grades that you will have to get when you do your A-level
exams. If you don’t obtain those grades, then, you will not be able to get the place. It will be offered to someone
else and you must apply again to another university. You don’t have to accept your place immediately. Some
students don’t want to go straight from school to university. So, after they have taken their A-level, they take a
year out to work or travel.
