When faced with some new and possible bewildering technology change, most people react in
one of two ways. They either recoil (33)____ anything new, claiming that it is unnecessary, or too
complicated or that it someway makes life less than human. Or they learn to adapt to the new invention
and (34)____ wonder how they could possibly have existed without it. Take computers as example. For
many of us, they still (35)_____ a threat to our freedom and give us a frightening (36)____ of a future in
which all decisions will be taken by machines. This may be because they seem (37)_____, and difficult
to understand. Ask most people what you can use a home computer for, and you usually get vague
answers about how ‘they give you information’. In fact, even those of us who are (38)____ with
computer and use them in our daily work, have little idea of how they work. But it does not take long to
learn how to operate a business programme, even if things occasionally go wrong for no apparent
reason. Presumably, much the same happened when telephone and television became widespread. What
seems to alarm most people is the (39)____ of technology change, rather than change itself. And the
objections that are made to new technology may (40)_____ have a point to them, since change is not
always an improvement. As we discover during power cuts, there is a lot to be said for the oil lamp, the
coal fire, and forms of entertainment, such as books or board games, which don’t have to be plugged
into work.

By the mid-nineteenth century, the term “icebox” had entered the American language, butice was
still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The icetrade grew with the
growth of the cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns and hospitals, and bysome forward-looking city
dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish and butter. After the Civil War(1861-1865), as ice was used to
refrigerate in freight cars, it also came into household use.Even before 1880, half of the ice sold in New
York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families
for their own use. This had becomepossible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a
precursor of the modernrefrigerator, had been invented.
6
 Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might nowsuppose. In the early nineteenth
century, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which wasessential to science of refrigeration, was
undeveloped. The commonsense notion that the besticebox was one that prevented the ice from melting
was of course mistaken, for it was themelting of the ice that performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early
efforts to economize iceincluded wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice that from doing its job.
Not until near theend of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation
andcirculation needed for an efficient icebox.
But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on theright
track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for whichthe village of
Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own designto transport his butter to
market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly meltingstuff in the rubs of his competitors to
pay a premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard inneat, one-pound bricks. One advantage of his
icebox, Moore explained, was that farmerswould no longer have to travel to market at night in order to
keep their produce cool.
41. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The influence of ice on the diet C. The transportation of goods to market
B. The development of refrigeration D. Sources of ice in the 19th century
42. According to the passage, when did the word ‘icebox’ become part of the language of theUnited
States?
A. In 1880 C. During the Civil War
B. Sometime before 1850 D. Near the end of the 19th century
43. The phrase ‘forward-looking’ is closest meaning to _____________.
A. Progressive C. Thrifty
B. Popular D. Well-established
44. The author mentions “fish” in the first paragraph because_____________.
A. many fish dealers also sold ice
B. fish was shipped in refrigerated freight cars
C. fish dealers were among the early commercial users of ice
D. fish was not part of the ordinary person’s diet before the invention of the icebox
45. The word “it” in the first paragraph refers to_____________.
A. fresh meat C. ice
B. the Civil War D. a refrigerator
46. According to the information in the second paragraph, an ideal icebox would_____________.
A. completely prevent ice from melting
B. stop air from curculating
C. allow ice to melt slowly

B. Moore was an honest merchant
C. Moore was a prosperous farmer
D. Moore’s design was fairly successful
48. The “produce” mentioned in the last sentence could include_____________.
A. iceboxes B. butter C. ice D. markets
Phần 9. Bài đọc 2

The cause of tooth decay is acid, which is produced by bacteria in the mouth. The acid removes
minerals from tooth enamel, allowing tooth decay to begin; the saliva in your mouth encourages
remineralization and neutralizes the acid. The rate at which bacteria in the mouth produce acid depends
on the amount of plaque on the teeth, the composition of the microbial flora, and whether the bacteria of
the plaque have been "primed" by frequent exposure to sugar. To keep your teeth healthy, a regular
dental hygiene program should be followed.
Removing plaque with a toothbrush and dental floss temporarily reduces the numbers of bacteria
in the mouth and thus reduces tooth decay. It also makes the surfaces of the teeth more accessible,
enabling saliva to neutralize acid and remineralize lesions. If fluoride is present in drinking water when
teeth are forming, some fluoride is incorporated into the enamel of the teeth, making them more resistant
to attack by acid. Fluoride toothpaste seems to act in another way, by promoting the remineralization of
early carious lesions.
In addition to a regular dental hygiene program, a good way to keep your teeth healthy is to
reduce your intake of sweet food. The least cavity-causing way to eat sweets is to have them with meals
and not between. The number of times you eat sweets rather than the total amount determines how much
harmful acid the bacteria in your saliva produce. But the amount of sweets influences the quality of your
saliva. Avoid, if you can, sticky sweets that stay in your mouth a long time. Also try to brush and floss
your teeth after eating sugary foods. Even rinsing your mouth with water is effective. Whenever
possible, eat foods with fiber, such as raw carrot sticks, apples, celery sticks, etc., that scrape off plaque,
acting as a toothbrush. Cavities can be greatly reduced if these rules are followed when eating sweets.
49. What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. Good nutrition C. Ways to keep your teeth healthy
B. Food with fiber D. Fluoridization and cavities
50. All of the following statements about plaque are true EXCEPT ___________.
A. It consists of acid producing bacteria
B. It is not affected by eating sweets
C. It can be removed from teeth by brushing and flossing
D. It reduces the positive effect of saliva
51. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ___________.
8
A. dental floss C. removal of plaque
B. bacteria D. plaque
52. What can be concluded from the passage about sweets?
A. All sweets should be avoided.
B. Sweets should be eaten with care.
C. It is better to eat sweets a little at a time throughout the day.
D. Sticky sweets are less harmful than other sweets.
53. The word “influences” in the paragraph 3 mostly means___________.
A. destroys B. affects C. consists of D. makes up
54. The word “scrape off” in the paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to___________.
A. keep away B. rub together with C. remove D. dissolve
55. It can be inferred from the passage that foods with fiber are___________.
A. sugary B. expensive C. sticky D. rough
56. The author of the passage states that the amount of acid produced by the bacteria in your saliva
increases___________.
A. with the number of times you eat sweets C. if you eat sweets with your meals
B. with the amount of sweets you eat D. if you eat sticky sweets

Some people assert that playing games is important for adults. In my opinion the importance of
playing games depends on the types of games considered. (77)________________.
The games that are important for adults to play include those requiring action, intensive thinking
and team work. It has been medically proven that physical training is extremely important for adults. It
helps not only to maintain fitness, but also enhances the capacity of thinking and working. Therefore,
participating in sports games, such as basketball, football, tennis and other action games is essential.
Games that require intensive thinking develop logic, attention and unconventional approach.
(78)________________. And last, but not least, games that involve team work are important to develop

12
further communicability, ability to make correct decisions with consideration of opinions of different
people and other skills, because these skills are often used in everyday situations.
Still there are other types of games that may be harmful. These are majorly computer games,
which cause severe eye-strain and exposure to radiation. (79)________________, computer games not
only harm health, but also have a negative impact on the working capacity. Many companies have
stringent rules against their employees playing games during work-hours.
(80)________________. These are games played for money. On one hand, winning such a game
the player feels positive emotions, which have an overall positive influence on the players health and
financial situation. On the other hand, loosing the game can drive the person playing into
disappointment and even into depression, thus harming his health, not to mention the loss of money.
Thus, in my opinion, the importance of adults playing games can be evaluated depending on the
level of positive or negative influences that those game may have on the person involved.
77. A. While some games may benefit to health, mental abilities, others may harm the players in
different ways.
B. Though some games may be beneficial, others are harmful to players.
C. While some games may benefit to health, mental abilities, working capacity, or help to relax, others
may harm the persons playing in different ways.
D. Games are not only beneficial but harmful to the persons playing those games as well.
78.A. These games are very beneficial to the users.
B. Among this type of games are puzzles, crosswords, and strategy games.
C. Besides, puzzles, crosswords, and strategy games are also beneficial to users.
D. These are examples of games that are beneficial to users.
79.A. Therefore B. Last but not least C. Second D. Moreover
80.A. There is also one category of games which can be both harmful and beneficial.
B. Some can be harmful to users but some can be beneficial as well.
C. Furthermore, the following games can be harmful to users, especially addicted ones, as well.
