Out in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 kilometers from Los Angeles, are the islands of Hawaii, the fiftieth state of the United States, with
its area of 16,700 square kilometers. The first Hawaiians arrived from other Pacific islands sometime around 100 A.D. Then in
1778, Captain Cook visited Hawaii. He put the islands on his maps of the Pacific Ocean. Then more ships knew Hawaii and began
stopping there for supplies. In 1820, a small group of people from the eastern United States came to teach the Hawaiian people

work, farm owners brought in Asians – Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos. Later Koreans, Portuguese, and Puerto Ricans also came.
More people came from the U.S. mainland and from other Pacific islands, and Hawaii became an island with traditions from several
countries. People from the various national groups have married each other, so today the groups are partly mixed. Hawaiians are
very friendly and always welcome visitors. They celebrate traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino holidays as well as holidays
from the United States. Hawaii is known as the Aloha State. “Aloha” means “hello”, “goodbye”, and “I love you” in Hawaiian.

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.
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 benefits of this environmentally friendly source of energy.
46. What does the passage primarily discuss?
A. Solar energy’s advantages over other sources of energy.
B. The cost of solar energy.
C. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels.
D. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
47. What does the word they in line 4 refer to?
A. solar cells. B. other renewable resources. C. advantages. D. solar energy users.
48. What is NOT mentioned as an advantage of solar cells?
A. They require little maintenance. B. They are non-polluting.
C. They cost little to produce. D. They operate quietly.
49. Which of the following is NOT a traditional source of energy?
A. oil B. solar energy C. coal D. gas
50. What does the word benefits in line 11 mean ?
A. bad points B. resources C. friendliness D. good points

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
Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy were pinned was the
ideal that its citizens would be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for individual achievement
and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the
progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also
grown in importance.
In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential
success and a driving force of chance. It is important to recognize, however, that we approach education today differently than in
the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn’t require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often
required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20
percent as skilled; and 60 percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed. The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20
percent, while jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even more important, almost every job today increasingly
requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime.
Question 46: Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of chance because ________
A.education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce
B. the government of the United States wants to drive social changes in their own ways.
C. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far.
D. any American citizen who wants to changes his driving license must be very well-educated.
Question 47: The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US__________ between 1950s and now.
A. has remained the same B. has been reversed
C. has changed slightly D. has changed dramatically
Question 48: The phrase “enlightened individuals” in the first sentence most likely means “people who ____________.”
A. have often been well-exposed to light B. have acquired an adequate level of education
C. always appear brilliant-looking in public D. bring light to anywhere they go
Question 49: In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author’s point of view, any individual must ___________
A. know well all his/her rights and be ready to grasp his/her opportunity of success in life
B. study carefully the history of American educational and vocational systems even since their creation
C. understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical skills
D. move actively forward in the new Information Era and international economy with a prestigious diploma
Question 50: Which of the following titles would be best for the passage?
A. The Significant Role of Education in American Citizens’ Careers
B. Education and Jobs in the Past and at Present in the United States.
C. Academic Knowledge and Practical Skills in American Professions

Son Doong Cave has become more famous after the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) aired a live programme
featuring its magnificence on ‘Good Morning America’ in May 2015.
Located in Quang Binh Province, Son Doong Cave was discovered by a local man named Ho Khanh in 1991, and became
known internationally in 2009 thanks to British cavers, led by Howard Limbert. The cave was formed about 2 to 5 million
years ago by river water eroding away the limestone underneath the mountain. It contains some of the tallest known
stalagmites in the world - up to 70 metres tall. The cave is more than 200 metres wide, 150 metres high, and nearly 9
kilometres long, with caverns big enough to fit an entire street inside them. Son Doong Cave is recognised as the largest
cave in the world by BCRA (British Cave Research Association) and selected as one of the most beautiful on earth by the
BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation).
In August 2013, the first tourist group explored the cave on a guided tour. Permits are now required to access the cave and
are made available on a limited basis. Only 500 permits were issued for the 2015 season, which runs from February to
August. After August, heavy rains cause river levels to rise and make the cave largely inaccessible.

 One of the biggest trends in television in recent years has been the rise of “Reality TV”. These shows, in which ordinary people
are placed in unusual situations and then filmed without a script, have become some of the highest rating shows on television. Early
programs of this genre, including Big Brother (from the Netherlands) and Survivor (from the United States), have led to dozens of
copycat programs in many different countries. A common element to many of these programs is that a number of contestants are
placed in a closed environment in which they are filmed 24 hours a day, and every week contestants are thrown off the show. What
is it about these shows that makes them so popular? Perhaps it is because viewers enjoy watching ordinary people with real
emotions being placed in extraordinary, situations. Or perhaps it is that people are really voyeurs - they enjoy being a spy, looking
secretly into other people’s lives.
