Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions that follow.
A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a
pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at
determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving.
1
The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the
sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves
are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000
kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of the radio waves. Then it receives the
echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to
return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other
objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”. “Ranging”
is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical
importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking
weather systems and storms.

A. Alternatives to radar.
B. History of radar.
C. The nature of radar.
D. Types of ranging.
18. According to the passage, what can radar detect besides locations of objects?

B. It was developed from a study of sound waves.
C. It has improved navigational safety.
D. It gave birth to the invention of the airplane.

For many people the language of the Internet is English. "World, Wide, Web: Three English Words"
was the name of an article by Michael Specter in the New York Times a few years ago. The article went
on to say: "If you want to take full advantage of the Internet, there is only one real way to do it: learn
English."
In general, it is not difficult to learn to use Internet services. But although Internet services are rather
easy to use, you will have considerable difficulties if you are not familiar with English. In fact,
3
knowledge of English is one of the most important aspects that help you use the Internet. Learning to
use a new Internet service may take a few hours, a few days, or some weeks, but it takes years to learn a
language so that you can use it fluently and confidently. Of course, when you know some English, you
can learn more just by using it on the Internet. But at least your English should be good enough to
understand commonly used words and to know what to do on the Internet.

Before a joint session of Congress in 1918, President Woodrow Wilson outlined his plan for a post-
World War I peace settlement. Known as the Fourteen Points, Wilson's plan is best remembered for its
first point, which declared that international diplomacy should be conducted in the open that quiet,
unpublicized diplomacy should be made illegal. Wilson believed that public diplomacy would end the
threat of war by preventing immoral national leaders from secretly plotting aggressive actions against
others.
Although Wilson was a highly intelligent and well-meaning mat lacked insight into the complexities of
international politics. Contrary to Wilson’s belief, war rarely results from the -behind- the scene plotting

Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in reality, it
has both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and quietness.
Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for
young children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because there are
fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find,
particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services means that it is
hard to find jobs. In short, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others.

young people who have a career are better provided in the city.

Read the following passage and mark letter A,B, C or D
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don’t talk. Gestures are the “silent language”
of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show that we want to say. It is
important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United states
, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the
handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends ma place a hand on the other’s
arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet friend with hug. Space is important to Americans.
When two people talk to each other, they stand two and half feet away at an angel, so they are not facing
each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back
to have space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, “ Pardon me” or “excuse me.”
Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don’t do so, it means
you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you stared at someone, it is not polite.
Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing. If you don’t know what to do, the safest
thing is to do is to smile.
17.What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Body language C. Greeting Others in Americans
B. Americans’ language. D. “ Silent language” of American Culture.

hiding something or are not interested.

Fiction is the writing of a story or text that is not true. It can be written in the form of either poetry
or prose. Poetry is a style of writing in which short lines form verses. Often, words at the end of these
lines rhyme, like "bed" and "red." We call a group of verses about one subject a "poem." Prose writing
does not have verses, nor does it rhyme. It uses sentences and paragraphs. Prose is used in magazine
articles, newspaper stories, short stories, and books.
Prose fiction has existed since ancient times, but most early fiction was actually written as poetry.
Scholars disagree about the date of the first prose fiction book, or novel. Some scholars classify fictional
stories from ancient Greece and Rome as the earliest novels. Others claim there were novels in Asia as
early as the 6th century. These early novels were mostly short adventure stories about fictional
characters.
In Europe, prose fiction began to seriously challenge poetry in the 16 th century. A Spanish author,
Cervantes, wrote Europe's first prose novel in the early 1600s. However, longer novels, like
Cervantes's Don Quixote, did not become very popular until the 1700s. By that time, there were more
printing presses, and more people knew how to read. In addition, more people had money to buy these
books. Today, the vast majority of fiction is written in prose rather than in poetry.
17. What does the word "It" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Fiction B. Non-fiction C. Poetry D. Prose Question
18. What can we learn about newspaper stories from paragraph 1?
A. They are usually written in paragraphs. B. They are usually written in verse.
C. They are usually written in rhyme. D. They are usually written by scholars.
19. The word "classify" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. write B. call C. teach D. learn
20. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A. The date of the earliest known novel is not easy to determine.
B. Prose fiction has been very popular since long ago.
17
C. Poetic fiction has not been around since ancient times.
D. The date of the earliest known novel is the sixteenth century.
21. The topic discussed in paragraph 3 is about _________.
A. when poetry became dominant in Europe.
B. when Cervantes became an important author.
C. when prose began in Spain.
D. when prose became dominant in Europe.
22. She asked me: “Why do you have to do this work?

Today I'd like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up the earth. First, we'll touch on the
relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is
the protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet
light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly made by the action of the sun in the
upper atmosphere. It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes.
The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain
chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we
use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical
pollution from these fluorocarbons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported.
There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We'll go into
that new study more next time.
17. Who is the most likely speaker?
A. A mechanic B. A doctor C. A professor D. A chemist
18. What is the speaker’s main topic?
A. Air-conditioning systems B. Ultraviolet light
C. The use of spray cans D. Fluorocabons and the ozone layer
19. What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer?
A. Protecting the earth B. Providing fluorocabons
C. Shielding the sun D. Destroying chemicals
20. What is the ozone layer made from?
A. Shields B. Fluorocabons
C. Oxygen D. Ultraviolet light
21. What will the speaker probably discuss next?
A. The sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion.
B. How to make air conditioners with fluorocabons
C. Harmful effects of ultraviolet light.
D. The make-up of the ozone layer

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American
ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more
varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious
customs among different American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American
families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no
children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of
American households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small
percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and
the rest, about 7 percent are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied
family types are typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive
relationships in family forms other than the traditional one.

TSUNAMIS
Tsunamis are waves, but they are far different from normal waves that occur every day in the ocean.
A normal wave is created by the pull of the moon's gravity, but tsunamis are a series of great sea waves
that are created by a shock from underwater. The most common causes of tsunamis are underwater
earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions.
On Sunday, 26th December,2004, a 9.0-magnitude earthquake occurred under the Indian Ocean near
the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It displaced a large amount of water, and sent shock
waves in every direction, resulting in a series of 30-foot waves travelling up to 500 miles per hour.
These high speeds cause the waves to be very destructive. They travelled unnoticed at first because they
were not visible on the surface, a common pattern in the occurrence of tsunamis.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant
language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after
having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of
1066.
Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and hadn’t extended even, as far
as Wales, Scotland or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to
spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and
missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various
parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language
of international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently , about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English.
Two third of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology,
advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700
million English users in the world, and over half of these are non-native speakers, constituting the
largest number of non-native users than any other language in the world.
17. What is the main topic of this passage?

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

For many people the language of the internet is English. “World, Wide, Web: Three English
Words” was the name of an article by Michael Specter in the New York Times a few years ago. The
33
article went on to say: “If you want to take full advantage of the Internet, there is only one real way to
do it: learn English.”
In general, it is not difficult to learn to use Internet services. But although Internet services are
rather easy to use, you will have considerable difficulties if you are not familiar with English. In fact,
knowledge of English is one of the most important aspects that help you use the Internet.
Learning to use a new Internet service may take a few hours, a few days, or some weeks, but it
takes years to learn a language so that you can use it fluently and confidently. Of course, when you
know some English, you can learn more just by using it on the Internet. But at least your English should
be good enough to understand commonly used words and to know what to do on the Internet.

Food became scarce, and prices went up throughout the nation. Hundreds of families in the Dust Bowl
region had to be moved to farms in other areas with the help of the federal government. In 1944, drought

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the
need of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the
world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world’s population live within 80kms of the sea coast.
Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. A lot of valuable minerals exist on
the ocean floor ready to be mined. Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities
of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental
people. Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm
temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and
waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources
on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s
needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Technology
is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials
has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2030s the
problems that prevent us from fully exploiting the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be
largely solved.
17. It can be referred from the passage that ………

Each nation has many people who voluntarily take care of others. For example, many high school and
college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages, or
home for the aged. They read books to the people in these places. Sometimes they just visit them, play
games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They clean up or repair
their houses, do their shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is a
voluntary organization called Big Brothers. College students take these boys to baseball games or on
fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Some high school students take part in helping the disadvantaged or handicapped children. They give
care and comfort to them and help them to overcome their difficulties. Young college and university
students participate in helping the people who have suffered badly in wars or natural disasters such as
floods or droughts. During summer vacations, they volunteer to work in remote or mountainous areas to
provide education for children or medical services for local people.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn crafts. Some of
these clubs show movies or organise short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places
of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they
are young enough to understand the problems of younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some
of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.

The Earth has got warmer since the 1990s. This will have serious effect on agriculture. In warmer areas,
it will be too dry. The amount of water could decrease by fifty percent. This could cause a large
decrease in agricultural production. World temperatures could increase two degrees Celsius by the year
2040. This could cause the ice sheets to melt and raise the level of the oceans by one to two meters.
Many coastal cities would be under water.
Why is this happening? There is too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air. When oil, gas and coal burn,
they create large amounts of carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide lets sunlight enter the Earth's
atmosphere and heat the Earth. However, it does not let as much heat leave the atmosphere and enter
space. It is like a blanket. The heat can pass through the blanket to warm the Earth. The heat stays there
and cannot get through the blanket again. Scientists call it the Greenhouse Effect. A greenhouse is a
building for growing plants. It is made of glass and clear plastic.
These scientists say that we must start planning now. We need to do research so that we can predict
what will happen. We must conserve coal, oil, and gas.
However, other scientists disagree. They say there is no reason to worry because we have at least twenty
years to plan and the Greenhouse Effect will not be very serious. They believe that there is no way for
the world to slow it down or stop it. We must just prepare for a high-temperature world.
Meanwhile, all scientists agree that we must continue measuring the amount of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere and observing its effects.

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

By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, there are no other snakes at
all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but
it prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes
at all .
Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune but not bites are serious, and very few are
fatal . Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself ,
with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures .
All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder
presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could
possibly of them. Then adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by
surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes extremely. If it
hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can. But adders usually cannot

When I opened the first ‘Body Shop’ in 1976 my only object was to earn enough to feed my children.
Today The Body Shop’ is an international company rapidly growing all around the world. In the years
since we began I have learned a lot. Much of what I have learned will be found in this book, for I

family and to feel excited by the unexpected. I have always wanted the people who work for The Body
Shop’ to feel the same way. Now this book sends these ideas of mine out into the world, makes them

exciting thought. I hope you do, too.

Every four to ten years something happens to the weather system of the Earth. Everything
changes, and scientists don’t know why. The low-pressure area toward the east, the high-pressure area is
very weak, and the winds blow toward the east. A great pile of warm surface water moves toward South
America. People call this “EL Nino”. It usually happens at Christmas time, and EL Nino is the Spanish
name for the baby Jesus.

windstorms and huge ocean waves swept houses into the sea. EL Nino did billions of dollars worth of
damage. Thousands of people lost their lives and thousands of others were left homeless.

Meanwhile, scientists throughout the world organized research to learn more about EL Nino. They are
using satellites and research boats to observe the atmosphere and the ocean. It is a very complicated
problem, but if the scientists of the world work together, they should be able to learn the causes of EL
Nino. Then they will be able to predict what will happen and work to prevent a repeat of the death and

How do television and other visual media affect the lives of individuals and families all over the
world? The media can be very helpful to people who carefully choose the movies and shows that they
watch. With high quality programs in various fields of study, such as science, medicine, history, arts,
and so on, TV and video tapes increase the viewers’ knowledge; they can also improve thinking ability.
Moreover, TV benefits elderly people who cannot go out often, as well as patients in hospital.
Additionally, it offers language learners the advantage of "real-life" audiovisual instruction and aural
comprehension practice at any time of day or night. Television and video can also provide almost
everyone with good entertainment – a pleasant way to relax and spend free time at home.
Nevertheless, there are several serious disadvantages to the visual media. First of all, some
people watch the "tube" for more hours a day than they do anything else. Instead of spending time
taking care of their kids, many parents use TV as an "electronic baby-sitter". As a result, TV and video
can easily replace family communication, physical activities and other interests. Secondly, those who,
young and old, spend more time watching TV than manual work can easily suffer from near-sightedness
and obesity.
The third negative feature of the media is the amount of violence and horror on the screen that
have bad effect on children and teenagers. Finally, the most negative effect of TV and video might be
addiction. People often feel a strange and powerful need to watch TV or play a video tape even when
they do not enjoy it or have free time for entertainment.
Câu 17. What is the main idea of the paragraph?
A. TV is a good baby-sitter.
B. Children should not be allowed to watch, TV.
C. Television and other visual media have both advantages and disadvantages.
D. All are correct.
Câu 18. To many elderly people and patients in hospitals, TV ________.
A. is an ideal tool of entertainment B. must be banned
C. has bad effects on their health D. is not enjoyable
Câu 19. The word "tube" in the second paragraph means _______.
A. cassette player B. computer C. baby-sitter D. TV
Câu 20. What is the relation of TV and health?
58
A. TV makes a patient recover quickly.
B. TV is a good healer.

The thing I like most about living on a farm when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring,
summer, autumn and winter - I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different.
If I hadn't been born and raised in the country, I would have never been able to tell the difference - now
in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round!
Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times of the year - for example strawberries in
June and turnips in winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons.
Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh - so it
must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the
country miss a lot of good things about modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them -
they miss real life.

The La Tomatina is one of the most famous festivals held on a Wednesday towards the end of August
in the town of Buñol in the Valencia region in Spain. The week long festival includes music,parades,
dancing, and fireworks.
About 30,000 people come to the tomato fight, while Buñol population is only 9,000. There are not
many accommodations for people who come to La Tomatina, so many participants stay in Valencia and
travel by bus or train to Buñol, about 38 km outside the city.
Many trucks transport tomatoes into the center of tile town, Plaza del Pueblo. The tomatoes come
from Extremadura, where they are less expensive. The signal for the beginning of the fight is firing of
the cannon, and the chaos begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every man for himself. People
who take part in this event are strongly encouraged to wear protective safety goggles and gloves. In
addition, they must squash the tomatoes before throwing for safety precautions. Another rule is that no
one is allowed to bring into this fight anything that may lead to a more serious fight, such as a glass
bottle. People must also stay away from trucks and must not tear someone else's clothing. Somewhere
between an hour and two hours, the fighting ends and the cannon is fired once more to signal the end. At
this point no more tomatoes can be thrown. The cleaning process involves the use of fire trucks to spray
down the streets, with water provided from a Roman waterway. People find water to wash themselves,
most likely at the Buñol River.
