LỜI NÓI ĐẦU

Các em học sinh thân mến!

Cô là Trang, một cựu học sinh chuyên Anh và hiện tại đang là một giáo viên dạy IELTS tại Hà

Nội. Cũng từng là học sinh hàng ngày tới lớp luyện thi nên cô rất hiểu không phải bạn nào cũng

có điều kiện tham gia lớp học thêm ngoài, vì vậy cô mong mình có thể góp một phần nhỏ trong

việc ôn thi của các em. Cô tổng hợp tài liệu này với mong muốn các em có thể có cái nhìn tổng

quát nhất về môn Anh và có thể từ đó tự tin tham gia kỳ thi lớp 10 sắp tới của mình. Cô tin là chỉ

cần nắm được những chủ điểm ngữ pháp cơ bản này thì các bạn sẽ không còn lo lắng trước kỳ thi

nữa. Đây là món quà cô muốn gửi tặng đến tất cả các em đang ôn thi vào 10 nên cô rất mong các

em thấy hữu ích và chia sẻ cho những bạn khác nữa nha. Tài liệu này là tài liệu tổng hợp từ các

nguồn nên cô xin phép sẽ được ghi references ở cuối sách để đảm bảo quyền lợi của tác giả nha.

Nếu có những câu hỏi nào không giải quyết được thì em có thể email cho cô nha. Đây là lần đầu

tiên cô tổng hợp lại các tài liệu nên khó tránh khỏi thiếu sót. Rất mong nhận được những góp ý

chân thành từ các em để tài liệu có thể hoàn thiện hơn. Chúc các em ôn thi vui vẻ và đạt được

điểm theo đúng nguyện vọng mình nha~

Fightinggg

Hà Nội,
Cách dùng tài liệu

Dưới đây là những chia sẻ từ quá trình cô ôn thi THPT nên có thể sẽ không phù hợp với một số bạn, tuy nhiên các em có thể

tham khảo nha. Sau khi cô nắm hết các chuyên đề, cô sẽ mở đề thi thật các năm ra và xác định xem câu này thuộc chuyên đề nào,

nếu mình chưa rõ thì mình nên lướt qua lại các chuyên đề xem nó nằm ở đâu, rồi đọc lại một lượt phần chuyên đề đó. Ví dụ như

câu 8 trong đề thi khảo sát tiếng Anh THPT 2022 của TP Hà Nội

Question 8: John has a collection of _______ postage stamps

A. Old valuable Japanese

B. old Japanese valuable

C. valuable old Japanese

D. valuable Japanese old

Nếu nhìn qua, các em sẽ thấy ABCD đều là 3 tính từ thay đổi vị trí, vậy đây thuộc chuyên đề trật tự tính từ, nếu em không nhớ

trật từ thì có thể lật lại phần đó và xem lại, sau đó tự làm. Từ đây mình sẽ luyện được phản xạ và cách xử lý những câu hỏi trong

kỳ thi THPT. Và nếu các em để ý thì dạng bài mỗi năm không hề thay đổi, vẫn sẽ luôn tập trung ở những chuyên đề này nên

tiếng Anh không hề khó đúng không~

Đối với những bạn sắp thi, các em có thể làm những đề vào 10 của những năm trước ở tỉnh/thành phố của em (cái này em có thể

xin thầy cô dạy lớp mình) và làm thử 1 lượt (lưu ý bấm giờ cho cô hen). Sau đó các em soát lại đáp án và xem những câu nào

mình sai, rò lại xem các câu đó thuộc chuyên đề nào và đọc lại, đối chiếu lại với câu đó xem liệu lúc này mình đã hiểu phải làm

như nào chưa. Nếu chưa rõ thì các em có thể nhắn cô ở group discord nha, nhóm này cũng có các anh chị thi THPT nên mọi

người đều có thể giải đáp giúp em.

Chúc các em thi tốt hen, lúc nào có điểm thì khoe với cô nha <3

The search of alternative resources of energy has resulted in different directions. Many
communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce
electricity.

Experimental work is being done to make synthetic fuels from coal, or coal tars. But to
date, that process has proved expensive. Some experts are trying to revive hydroelectric
power which is derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power
provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only
four percent. The oceans are another source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to
change the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves into electricity.

Education is not an end, but a mean to an end. In other words, we do not educate children

When we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be
educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain
and ability, and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that
it is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work, or to scorn someone else’s. Only such a type
of education can be called valuable to society.

carols. The home is the center of the Christmas celebration. Inside, an evergreen tree is
usually placed in the corner of the Living room. Children and their parents wrap string of
colorful lights around the tree, they hang ornaments on the branches . A star or angle often
crowns the top. Careful- wrapped gifts are placed beneath. Outside, families often string
lights around the windows and wind light around trees and shrubs in the front yard. As the
families decorate their homes, they often put on Christmas record. Almost every family

One of the main sources for the spreading of news and events throughout the world is the
newspaper.
The purpose of newspapers is to inform the public of political, social economic and
entertainment happenings, among other things .Generally, there are three types of
newspapers: daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, and special-interest newspapers. Daily
newspapers publish at least one edition every weekday. Most dailies also have a weekend
edition. Daily newspapers often have sections for news, sports, arts and entertainment,
business and classified advertising. Weekly newspapers print once a week and cover news
of interest to readers in a smaller area than that of a daily paper. They focus on local
happenings rather than national or international events. Special-interest newspapers may
publish daily, weekly, monthly, or even less frequently. They generally disseminate news
of interest to a particular group of readers or feature news about a specific topic.

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.
Football, or soccer in the U.S, dates back to 2500 B.C with the Chinese game of tsu chu. The
sport we know today originated from Britain. Today, more than 120 million players over the globe
participate in the game, making soccer the world‟s sport.
So, why is soccer so popular? Maybe it‟s the feeling that the team on the field is your team;
their win is your victory, and their loss is your defeat. Or maybe it is the game‟s international quality.
In countries like France. England, Spain. Brazil, major teams have players from many different
nations, and these clubs now have fans all over the world. Or perhaps it‟s the promise of great wealth.
A number of professional soccer players, including Cameroon‟s Samuel Bto o and Portugal's Cristiano
Rolnado. come from poor families. Today, both of these players make millions of euros every year.
However, ultimately, the main reason for its universal appeal may be this. It‟s a simple game. It
can be played anywhere with anything - a ball, a can. or even some bags tied together. And anyone can
play it.
In the mid-1800s, European colonists brought the game to Africa, Early matches were first
played in the South African cities of Cape Town in 1862: Today, some of the game‟s best players
come from African nations and all over the continent, thousands of soccer academies now recruit boys
from poorer cities and towns to play the game, l heir dream is to join a national team or one of the big

In 2005, Cliff Jones began a journey round Britain on a unicycle, a bike with only onewheel. He had
already made a documentary film about his experiences travelling roundEurope in a 50-year-old car.
He was mad about motor sport and had a job building racingcar engines. To save money, Cliff rode to

who could easily ride up mountains on their bikes, which I couldn‟t do, I never regretted my unicycle.‟
His worst moment came when he had to drink some dirty water from a stream. A serious fever kept
him in bed in hospital for five long days. He was determined not to give up and go back home before
he had completed his challenge, but found it hard to carry on because he felt so weak. Yet despite all
this, Cliff now says, „If I could afford it, I would do something similar again.‟

Jeans are considered to be the most popular kind of clothing in the world. They are popular
almost everywhere and with everybody because they are not just practical but very fashionable as well.
But what do you know about the history of jeans? Who made the first jeans?
In 1850 Levi Strauss, a young immigrant from Germany, arrived in San Francisco. He came to
sell canvas, a heavy fabric used for tents, to gold miners. One day Strauss saw that the miners needed
strong clothes for work. He quickly took some of his canvas and made it into pants. These pants were
very strong and lasted a long time. The pants became very popular immediately. Later Strauss wanted
to make his pants even better, so he started making his pants from cotton cloth that was softer than
canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from Nimes, a city in France, and was called „denim‟ (from
de Nimes). Denim was popular in the fifteenth century. Christopher Columbus used denim for the sails
of his ships. Sailors in Genoa, Italy, wore denim pants. The word „jeans‟ comes from the word
„Genoa‟. Mr. Strauss made the first jeans in the United States, but their name and their kind of cloth
came from Italy and France.
1. Why do jeans become popular?
2. According to the reading, what did the gold miners buy?
3. Does the word "jeans" come from "de Nimes"?
4. Where were the first jeans made?
Câu VIII. Đọc đoạn văn sau và chọn câu trả lời đúng cho các câu hỏi. (0,8 điểm)
Air pollution is a serious problem in many cities. Motor vehicles, factories and other sources
create so much air pollution that it may hang in the air like dirty fog. Air pollution threatens the health
of the people who live in cities. City wastes cause water pollution when they are poured into the
waterways. These wastes kill fish and make some areas unfit for swimming. In addition, many large
cities have difficulties in disposing of their garbage. The amount of garbage grows each year, but
places to put it are quickly filling up. Citizens, governments, industries, scientists, and business people
must work together in different ways to gradually reduce pollution. For example, most cities have
introduced recycling programs, which cut down on garbage and the space needed to store it. Residents
separate recyclable products from garbage, and city governments provide drop-off cities or pick up the
products from homes.

1. What is the main idea of the passage?


A. Air pollution is a serious problem in all cities.

B. Air pollution is a serious problem in countries.

If we look a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we would be
very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United Kingdom. The language
most commonly used between people of different nationalities was French. However, that is not the
case nowadays. English has replaced French as the international language of communication. Today,
there are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first
language.
There are many reasons why English has become the language of international communication.
Britain's colonization of many parts of the world had something to do with it, but it is mainly due to
America‟s rise to the position of major world power. This helped spread popular American culture
throughout the world bringing the language with it.
But is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? Linguists have suggested
“Esperanto”, an artificially put-together language, as a solution to international communication
problems but without success. So English will continue being the world language until some other
languages, maybe Chinese, which is the most widely- spoken native language in the world, takes over
as the world‟s international language instead of English.
Câu 31. What does the world ―which‖ in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Esperanto B. English C. a language D. Chinese
Câu 32. What is the main reason why English has become the language of international
communication?
A. Britain‟s becoming an international power B. America‟s becoming powerful
C. The development of British culture D. The French losing many colonies
Câu 33. What is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Esperanto is difficult to learn.
B. Esperanto is not a natural language
C. The linguists don‟t like Esperanto.
D. Esperanto is becoming more and more popular
Câu 34. What would be a good title for this passage?
Trang 45
A. English language means English culture B. English - a difficult language to learn
C. English as an international language D. English in the future
Câu 35. According to the passage, what was the most commonly used language a century ago?
A. Chinese B. French C. English D. Esperanto

Many people continue to skip breakfast despite its being the most important meal of the day.
Busy people often rush out the door in the mornings without giving their bodies the fuel they
need to handle a long day at work. They end up feeling tired by the afternoon and resort to the
office snack machine or biscuit tin.
Loysa Hourigan, from Nutrition Australia, said that catching up on food at lunchtime did not
provide the body with enough sustenance to keep it going for the rest of the day. "Even if you have
had lunch, you won't have as much food as you need. Your brain gets depleted of glucose and you
feel tired,” Ms Hourigan said.
According to Ms Hourigan, wholegrain bread and cereals provide endurance. Milk, eggs and
baked beans provide protein, which helps people to be alert. Rolled oats are also an excellent
endurance food.

People across the country are being advised to wear face coverings in certain circumstances

one on public transport and from 24 July it will also be compulsory in shops.
While medical face masks and respirators are prioritised for health and care workers, you
might want to try making your own face covering, wherever you live.
Here's our guide to different types and step-by-step instructions on how to make them.
Whether you‟re handy with a sewing machine, like cutting up old t-shirts or just want a quick
fix, the principles are the same: the more layers of material the better, and the mask needs fitting
snugly around the face, so you can breathe comfortably.
One study has shown that the best materials to use are tightly woven cottons or twill,natural silk
or quilted cotton material. But you can also make do with what you have around your home.

Mercury is the smallest member of the sun's family which is only 3,100 miles across. It is also the
sun's swiftest planet. Its yearly journey round the sun is only 85 days.
Mercury always keeps one side towards the sun. On this side it is always day, on the other side it is
always night. We only see the lighted side.
Mercury appears to us like a yellowish orange star. The nearest planet to the sun, it is always seen
near the sun, either just before sunrise or soon after sunset. People sometimes call Mercury the
morning star or evening star. Mercury is half the size of the earth. Because it is much lighter, it has
much less gravity. If you can visit Mercury in a spaceship, you will find it a strange world. Its low
gravity makes you feel very light. If your weight on earth is 100 pounds, your weight on Mercury is
only 27 pounds. Looking at the sun from Mercury, you can see that it‟s much more brilliant than it is
seen from the earth. And the yellow centre of the sun appears three times bigger from Mercury. On the
lighted side, Mercury‟s temperature is about 300 degrees centigrade. But the dark side is extremely
cold, 150 degrees below zero so Mercury is probably the coldest as well as the hottest of the planets.

Did you ever wonder why it is so difficult for adults to start to learn English or a foreign
language? Every year, millions of grown-ups around the world spend a large amount of money on
learning English but not many of them succeed in becoming fluent English speakers. This is because
it is not easy to pick up a new language after a certain age.
However, small children learn foreign languages without much difficulty. This is because they
have a special ability that helps them learn languages fast. This ability weakens when people grow
older. Think of the little time children need to learn their native languages.
Therefore, if you have the desire to learn English or any other foreign language, you should begin
as soon as possible. Remember that the longer you wait, the harder it will become.

More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the evenings, on
weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.
One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the school
work. To be able to do so, they must be very organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also
Trang 87
learn to cope with the job stress apart from the stress of the school work. Some of the most stressful
jobs include teaching nursing, and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for the latter
careers. High school students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the
job market at a later age with no work experience.
Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with their friends, etc.
Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not really appreciate that money
because they did not earn it. When teenagers make money for themselves, they know its true value
and are less likely to spend it foolishly.
Câu 26. What is the mam idea of the passage?
A. Part-time jobs cause stress B. American students‟ schoolwork
C. Benefits of teenagers working part-time D. Disadvantages of part -time jobs

Space Holiday
Are you thinking of going on holiday in space? Well, you may not be able to go to the Moon,
but you could consider a space tour! This kind of „holiday” allows people to stay in space in a space
station. Of course, it's very expensive and you'd have to be a millionaire to afford it.
First of all, it costs 30 million dollars! Secondly, there's a pretty long waiting list - there are no
free places for some years. Finally, you have to be very fit and healthy and do a lot of training to
prepare yourself before you can go on this kind of holiday.
So, why do people want to travel in space? Well, the answer seems to be the excitement and
the fun of seeing Earth from above. Astronauts have described the view of Earth from space as

Trang 103
absolutely breathtaking. Also, if you have enough money to go on this kind of holiday, imagine the
stories you'll be able to tell your friends.
If you're feeling a bit down about not being able to be a space tourist, there is some hope for
you in the future. Some people are now looking into the idea of space hotels. Some Japanese designs
look very exciting. If they are built, they will offer all the things you expect in a hotel. It will be
interesting to see what they will be like.
For now, you will have to forget space holidays unless you are rich. I don‟t know about you, but
I'm going to visit a nice beach and relax in the sun. Maybe if I stay late, I can imagine I'm on the Moon
as well.

A. Space Holiday: Is it possibly true
B. The Reasons You Should Go on a Space Holiday

“How can 1 learn English well?" This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most

fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you‟re a very successful
learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.

What is equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be

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.
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 trawl 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 sights.
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.
In addition, think carefully about 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 big cities, and it‟s usually cheaper to use them
more than change your cash in banks. When you are at your destination, other travellers often have
great information they are happy to share. It could enhance your travelling experience.
Question 31: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Tips for travellers overseas B. Things to avoid when you go abroad
C. getting a guide book D. How to find ATMs in big cities
Question 32: According to the passage, you should do all of the following before leaving EXCEPT
______.
A. checking that your passport is valid B. taking money from an ATM
C. getting a guide book D. preparing suitable clothes
Question 33: The word “This‖ in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. finding there are no hotels available B. booking hotels in advance
C. asking for direction D. saving money
Question 34: According to the passage, holders of out-of-date passports ______.
A. should ask for help from local people B. cannot travel to other countries
C. should buy a pocket dictionary D. cannot communicate with foreigners
Question 35: The word “essential‖ in paragraph 4 mostly means ______.
A. everything B. souvenir C. valuable D. necessities
Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part
differs from the others three in pronunciation in each of the following questions from 48 to 50.
Question 48: A. complained B. destroyed C. attracted D. arrived

Every one of us produces garbage of one kind or another. Some of the garbage is thrown into the
sea. Some is burnt or buried under the ground. Every year we need to find about 800.000 cubic meters
of empty land just to bury the garbage. This is the same as filling one football stadium with garbage up
to 20 meters high!
This garbage damages the environment. Although a lot of garbage is buried in the ground, some
of it gets blown about in the wind Also, when garbage is burnt; poisonous gases are given off into the
air. The garbage thrown into the sea will pollute the water.
What can we do about these problems? One very easy answer is to produce less garbage. We can
recycle things made from glass and paper as well as tin cans. People can refuse to take the plastic bags
from the shops and supermarkets by bringing with them their own bags or baskets when they go
shopping.
The government should tell people about the dangers of garbage pollution. Education is perhaps
the most important factor for keeping our environment healthy for the future.

If you live in a big family, there might be a lot of drama between the family members. To get
along, there are some important qualities. First, you have to be caring. You have to take care of your
family members, do hard work to help your parents. Especially when your parents tell you to do
something, just do it and don't make an excuse like “Why isn‟t my brother doing it?”. If you do that,
that's just another problem for your parents to deal with. Secondly, you have to be a patient person.
For example, if your family has only one bathroom, you have to wait till it‟s your turn. Don't
complain or else it‟s going to start a fight and that‟s not good. Thirdly, be ready to share. If your mum
comes home with a cookie, and there are two children, you‟ll have to break it in halves. So don‟t eat
the cookie all by yourself. Finally, you need to be easy- going. If your mum buys your sister a new
dress and you don‟t get anything, don‟t complain; just wear your old clothes. Use these qualities and
you‟ll get along with your family members in no time.

Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate
solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun. Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so
no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other
renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which
are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they
have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.
However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during
daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work
effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as traditional
sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists are hoping that
the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the advantages of this environmentally
friendly source of energy.

The Secrets of Sleep
Research by the National Sleep Foundation in Washington says that we all need eight hours sleep
every night. Scientists have found that people who sleep for less than six and a half hours a night are
more often ill than people who sleep for eight hours. Going without sleep also increases the chance of
serious illness. People who sleep for less than five hours often die young, and do less well at work.
The scientists found that, on average, adults sleep for seven hours a night, with thirty-two percent
sleeping less than six hours. It also says that the idea that we need less sleep as we get older is
completely untrue. “People have no idea how important sleep is to their lives," Dr Thomas Roth,
director of the Foundation says. “Good health needs good sleep."
Trang 166
“But not too much of it,” says Professor Jim Horne of Loughborough University. “Sleep is like
food and drink” he believes: “you would always like to have a little bit more, but that doesn't mean you
need it." Professor Horne studied a group of people who could spend as many hours as they wanted in
bed; after ten hours they didn't find it any easier to get up in the morning. And people who sleep for
more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight!
(Adapted from "New Cutting Edge, Pre-intermediate” by Cunningham, Moor, Carr)
22. What does the word "serious" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. bad or dangerous B. important and valuable
C. unimportant or unnecessary D. unique and impressive
23. According to the scientists in the passage, how long do most adults sleep on average?
A. For no more than six hours a night. B. For less than six and a half hours a night.
C. For seven hours a night. D. For more than nine hours a night.
24. What does the word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Adults who sleep for seven hours a night
B. Adults who sleep for less than five hours a night.
C. People who could spend as many hours as they wanted in bed
D. Professor Jim Horne and the scientists of Loughborough University
25. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. People that do not sleep enough may get sick.
B. Everybody needs less sleep when they get older.
C. People who sleep for ten hours each night are healthy.

more often ill than people who sleep for eight hours. Going without sleep also increases the chance of
serious illness. People who sleep for less than five hours often die young, and do less well at work.
The scientists found that, on average, adults sleep for seven hours a night, with thirty-two percent
sleeping less than six hours. It also says that the idea that we need less sleep as we get older is

Trang 171

food and drink” he believes: “you would always like to have a little bit more, but that doesn't mean you
need it." Professor Horne studied a group of people who could spend as many hours as they wanted in
bed; after ten hours they didn't find it any easier to get up in the morning. And people who sleep for
more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight!

Part I. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each of the following
questions. Write your answers on the answer sheet.
When your mobile phone runs out of battery power, all you have to do to get it working again
is to charge it up. Imagine if you could do the same thing with your car. Researchers at car companies
are developing cars that plug into electric sockets. These vehicles might become the cars of the future.
The cars are called plug-in hybrids and they get most of their power from electricity, just like
other electrical devices like mobile phones and laptops. This technology would significantly reduce
the amount of petrol that people use. For countries that depend on other oil producing countries for
their petrol supply this could be a great advantage.
Presently, most cars use petrol. Unfortunately, burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide
gas, and when a large amount of this gas and other greenhouse gases are trapped in the Earth's
atmosphere, they cause global warming. Hybrid vehicles have already been developed and are being
driven. These cars get their power from both petrol and electricity; they are able to travel longer
distances with less petrol. Plug-in hybrids will be even more advanced as they are designed to be
powered mainly by electricity and use only a small amount of petrol. It might be some time before the
cars will become available to the public but if they do, it will be a major breakthrough for transport.

people understand what we want to say.
English also helps us to learn all kinds of subjects. Hundreds of books are written in English
every day in many countries to teach people many useful things. The English language has
therefore helped to spread ideas and knowledge to all the comers of the world. There is no subject
that cannot be taught in English.
As English is used so much everywhere in the world, it has helped to make the countries in
the world become friendlier with one another. The leaders of the world use English to understand
one another. The English language has therefore also helped to spread better understanding and
friendship among countries of the world.

advantages to living in the country. First of all, you can enjoy (35) _peaceful_ atmosphere.

_traffic_ , so it is safer for young children. However, there are certain drawbacks to life outside
the city. Firstly, because there are fewer people, you are likel y to (37)_ have_ few friends. In

The people of Kiribati are afraid that one day their country will disappear from the face of the
earth. Several times this year, this nation has been flooded by a sudden high tide. These tides, which
swept across the island and destroyed houses, came when there was a neither wind nor rain. This never
happened before.
What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer may is global warming. When fuels
like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants are released; these pollutants trap heat in the earth‟s
atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand and also create more water by melting
glaciers and polar ice caps.
If the trend continues, scientist say, many countries will suffer. Bangladesh, for example, might
lose one-fifth of its land. The coral island nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati and the Marshall Islands,
however would face an ever worse fate- they would be swallowed by the sea.

It is very difficult to succeed in the music business; nine out of ten bands that release a first record
fail to produce a second. Surviving in the music industry requires luck and patience, but most of all it
requires a detailed knowledge of how a record company functions. The process begins when a
representative of a company's Artist and Repertoire (A&R) department visits bars and night clubs,
scouting for young, talented bands. After the representative identifies a promising band, he or she will
work to negotiate a contract with that band. The signing of this recording contract is a slow process. A
company will spend a long time investigating the band itself as well as current trends in popular
music. During this period, it is important that a band reciprocate with an investigation of its own,
learning as much as possible about the record company and making personal connections with the
different departments that will handle its recordings.
Once a band has signed the contract and has finished recording an album, the Publicity and
Promotions department takes over. This department decides whether or not to mass produce and
market the band's album. Most bands fail to make personal contacts in this second department thus
losing their voice in the important final process of producing and marketing their album. This loss of
voice often contribute to the band‟s failure as a recording group.
Câu 22. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. the cost of recording an album is very expensive
B. the A&R department has a very large staff
C. the music industry is full of opportunities for young bands
D. most bands do not fully understand how record companies operate

C. Making personal connections will help the band in the final decisions about the promotion of
their album.
D. It is important for a band to have an intricate knowledge of how a recording company works.
Câu 25. As used in paragraph 1, the word "release" is closest in meaning to ______.
A. itemize B. distribute C. overturn D. pay for
Câu 26. The author mentions that a band's success is dependent on all of the following

It is very difficult to succeed in the music business; nine out of ten bands that release a first record
fail to produce a second. Surviving in the music industry requires luck and patience, but most of all it
requires a detailed knowledge of how a record company functions. The process begins when a
representative of a company's Artist and Repertoire (A&R) department visits bars and night clubs,
scouting for young, talented bands. After the representative identifies a promising band, he or she will
work to negotiate a contract with that band. The signing of this recording contract is a slow process. A
company will spend a long time investigating the band itself as well as current trends in popular
music. During this period, it is important that a band reciprocate with an investigation of its own,
learning as much as possible about the record company and making personal connections with the
different departments that will handle its recordings.
Once a band has signed the contract and has finished recording an album, the Publicity and
Promotions department takes over. This department decides whether or not to mass produce and
market the band's album. Most bands fail to make personal contacts in this second department thus
losing their voice in the important final process of producing and marketing their album. This loss of
voice often contribute to the band‟s failure as a recording group.
Câu 22. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. the cost of recording an album is very expensive
B. the A&R department has a very large staff
C. the music industry is full of opportunities for young bands
D. most bands do not fully understand how record companies operate
Câu 23. The word ―it‖ in the paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. surviving in the musical industry B. negotiating a contract
Trang 236
C. luck and patience D. producing a first album
Câu 24. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. Nine out of ten bands fail to produce a second record.
B. The main factors in a band's success are luck and patience.
C. Making personal connections will help the band in the final decisions about the promotion of
their album.
D. It is important for a band to have an intricate knowledge of how a recording company works.
Câu 25. As used in paragraph 1, the word "release" is closest in meaning to ______.
A. itemize B. distribute C. overturn D. pay for
Câu 26. The author mentions that a band's success is dependent on all of the following

Alexander Fleming was born in 1881 in Scotland. He went to a small school in a village, and
when he left school he didn’t go to university. He worked for five years in an office. But his brother,
Tom, was a doctor and helped Fleming to go to university and study medicine. So he went to
London University and in 1906 he became a doctor. In 1915, Fleming married Sarah McElroy, an
Irish woman. They had one son. During the First World War, many soldiers died in hospital because
they didn’t have the right medicines. So after the war, Fleming tried to find a drug that could help
them. He worked for many years and in 1928 he discovered a new drug and he called it “penicillin”.
He later worked with an Australian and a German scientist to develop a drug that doctors could use.
In 1945, they won the Nobel Prize in medicine for their work on penicillin.

Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times.
Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the
music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a
jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear
to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the
positive effect of the music. The angry person does not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it
points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece of
music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being affected. The
musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of
music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them.
Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these effects, they created music that was
positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next step is to
gain a better understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is actually having.

Alexander Fleming was born in 1881 in Scotland. He went to a small school in a village, and
when he left school he didn’t go to university. He worked for five years in an office. But his brother,
Tom, was a doctor and helped Fleming to go to university and study medicine. So he went to
London University and in 1906 he became a doctor. In 1915, Fleming married Sarah McElroy, an
Irish woman. They had one son. During the First World War, many soldiers died in hospital because
they didn’t have the right medicines. So after the war, Fleming tried to find a drug that could help
them. He worked for many years and in 1928 he discovered a new drug and he called it “penicillin”.
He later worked with an Australian and a German scientist to develop a drug that doctors could use.
In 1945, they won the Nobel Prize in medicine for their work on penicillin.

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help
to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But
increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight
of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs.
However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too
much too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about
taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice.
Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing
you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it
could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not true;
shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in
pain then you should stop and take a rest.
1. People with back problems might go cycling because__________.
A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet
B. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet
C. it helps to make their backs become stronger
D. it helps them to relieve their backache
2. All forms of exercise must be started__________.
A. gradually B. quickly C. strenuously D. violently
3. According to the writer, it is best to go cycling__________.
A. once a week B. at least two or three times a week
C. at least two or three times a day D. every day
4. You should not worry about the shortness of breath because__________.
A. it shows that there is something wrong with your heart
B. it shows that you should stop and take a rest
C. it is a sign of exercise having the right effect
D. it is a sign of your getting rid of your heart problem
5. Which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of cycling?
A. Giving you a stronger heart B. Increasing you strength and energy
C. Giving you better muscles D. Making you look younger
VI/ (1,5 points) Fill in each blank with one suitable word.

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help
to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But
increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight
of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs.
However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too
much too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about
taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice.
Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing
you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it
could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not true;
shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in
pain then you should stop and take a rest.
1. People with back problems might go cycling because__________.
A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet C. it helps to make their backs
become stronger
B. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet D. it helps them to relieve
their backache
2. All forms of exercise must be started__________.
A. gradually B. quickly C. strenuously D. violently
3. According to the writer, it is best to go cycling__________.
A. once a week B. at least two or three times a week
C. at least two or three times a day D. every day
4. You should not worry about the shortness of breath because__________.
A. it shows that there is something wrong with your heart C. it is a sign of exercise having the
right effect
B. it shows that you should stop and take a rest D. it is a sign of your getting rid of your
heart problem
5. Which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of cycling?
A. Giving you a stronger heart B. Increasing you strength and energy
C. Giving you better muscles D. Making you look younger
VI/ (1,5 points) Fill in each blank with one suitable word.

Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate
solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs,
so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other
renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines
which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting.
As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.

The Americans are keen to win the race to send human beings to Mars. In 1992, the new boss of
NASA, Dan Goldin, called on the American people to be the first to send explorers to another planet
in the solar system. He reminded them of the symbolic gift carried to the moon and back by the
Apollo 11 mission. It bears a message intended for the crew of the first spaceship to visit Mars.
Goldin thinks it is time to begin the preparation for this historic journey. His speech echoed the
words of the President, who promised that in 2019, 50 years after Neil Armstrong became the first
man to set foot on the moon, the first astronaut would stand on Mars.
By the end of the twentieth century, various unmanned spaceships will have thoroughly investigated
the surface of the planet. But, however clever a robot may be, it cannot match the type of
information which can be gained -from direct human experience. The first geologist on the moon,
Harrison Schmitt, was capable of interpreting the story of the landscape on the spot. Until humans
walk on the red deserts of Mars, we will not be able to determine the history of this frozen world in
any detail.
Question 27: Who called on the Americans to be the first to send explorers to another planet in the
solar system?
A. The president
B. Dan Goldin
C. Neil Armstrong
D. Harrison Schmitt
Question 28: According to the American President, when would the first astronaut probably stand on
Mars?
A. 1969
B. 1992
C. 2019
D. 2050

A. A clever robot and a human being can provide the same information from Mars.
B. The first geologist on the moon was Harrison Schmitt.
C. We will not be able to determine the history of Mars in any detail until humans walk on it.

(39 – 43). Read the passage below and then decide whether the statements that follow are True
or False.

Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework. They say that it is
unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers
do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to
repeat tasks which they have already done at school.

Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and
comfortable room is in a much better position than a student who does his homework in a small,
noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other
parents take no interest at all in their children’s homework.

It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher should suggest
suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own
children!

39. Many parents would like their children to have less homework.

40. Parents think that students should do a lot of work in their leisure time at home.

41. A lot of homework has not been planned properly, according to many

42. Only a small number of people think that homework is fair.

I get a lot of letters at this time of the year from people complaining that they have a cold which
won’t go away. There are so many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold that it’s often
difficult to know what to do. Although colds are rarely dangerous, except for people who are already
weak, such as the elderly or young babies, they are always uncomfortable and usually most
unpleasant. Of course, you can buy lots of medicines which will help to make your cold less
unpleasant, but you must remember that nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away faster.
Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough to make you feel better could be
dangerous if you are already taking drugs for some other illness so always with your chemist or
doctor to see whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy – please
don’t try to drive if they do! Lastly, as far as avoiding colds is concerned, whatever you may be told
about magic foods or drinks, the best answer is to keep strong and healthy – you’ll have less chance
of catching a cold, and if you do, it shouldn’t be so bad!

39. This is from__________ .

a. doctor’s notebook b. a diary

c. a magazine d. a school biology book

40. What is the writer’s intention?

a. to write in an amusing way b. to give general advice

41. Who should talk to the doctor before buying medicine for a cold?

a. People who are already weak.

b. People who catch a bad cold?

c. People who drive to work.

a. The writer believes in it.

b. The writer doesn’t believe in it.

c. The writer is concerned about it.

d. The writer is interested in it.

THE TELEPHONE

You may use the telephone every day but how much do you know about it? The telephone was
invented by Alexander Bell in 1876. Bell was born in Scotland in 1847. Later he went to live in the
USA. Bell was always interested

in sound. He wanted to be able to send sound through a wire. He had a workshop in his house in
America and did many experiences there.

One day, he was doing an experiment in his workshop. He was careless and spilt some burning
liquid onto his clothes. Talking into his telephone, Bell said, ‘Mr. Watson, I want you to come over
here immediately, please.’ His assistant, Watson, was in another room far away from the workshop.
However he heard Bell clearly on his own telephone. Quickly, he ran to Bell’s workshop. ‘Mr. Bell,
I heard every word you said!’ Watson shouted excitedly.
