Read this passage carefully then do the task given below.
Indians in North and South America ate popcorn thousands of years. Scientists found some ears
of popcorn in New Mexico, a state in the United States. They were 5.600 years old. Farmers probably
learned to raise popcorn first before they planted other kind of corn. Farmers now raise popcorn in the
United States, Australia, Argentina, South Africa and South Europe
Corn was an important food for the Indians. It was also important for the religion. When Columbus
and other Europeans visited the New World, they saw this. When the Indians and Europeans had their
first Thanksgiving, they ate popcorn. Today Thanksgiving is an important holiday in the United States,
but people don’t usually eat popcorn for this holiday now.
In the 1920s, people started selling popcorn at movies. Now most movie theaters in the United States
sell popcorn. Popcorn and movie go together very well.

Read the passage below and choose the correct answer among A, B, C or D.
“Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are
becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. However, the
regimentation resulting from grades still exists. Grades often stifle creativity. Competing for better
grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades
impose an arbitrary standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that
grades be abolished immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades.
I hope that some day grades will become optional at Village High School.”

“Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are
becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. However, the
regimentation resulting from grades still exists. Grades often stifle creativity. Competing for better
grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades
impose an arbitrary standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that
grades be abolished immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades.
I hope that some day grades will become optional at Village High School.”

SECTION C- READING
I. Read the passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
SPORTS TRAINING
Parents whose children show special interest in a particular sport have a difficult decision to make
about their children's careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and
women? For many children, it means starting very young and school work, going out with friends and
other interests have to take second place. It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she
has to train for five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his friends are playing.
Another problem is of course money. In many countries, money for training is available from the
government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help cannot be given, it means that it
is the parents who have to find the time and money to support their child's development - and sports
clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment etc… can be all very expensive.
Many parents are understandably worried that it is dangerous to start serious training at an early
age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly
developed.
Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by starting young that you can reach the top as
a successful sports person. What is clear is that very few people do reach the top and both parents and
children should be prepared for the failure even after many years of training.
35. When a child is determined to train a sport, it means that _________
A. he or she has to study much harder in class.
B. he or she needs to get the best marks in class.
C. his or her time must be devoted to watching TV.
D. his or her school work is considered less important than training.
36. In many countries, it’s the government that _________
A. trains all of the young sportsmen and women's parents.
B. provides the best young sportsmen and women with the money for training.
C. helps parents find the best jobs.
D. makes parents stay at home while their children are training.
37. Some doctors think that _________
A. training at an early age may cause damage to the muscles.
B. young brain can be properly developed by training hard.
C. by starting young a child cannot reach the top as a sports person.
D. children must not play any sports.
38. According to the author, parents and their children should _________
A. look forward to the failure. B. be made to expect the failure.
C. think of the failure they may meet with. D. prepare for many years of training.

Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take
place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of the hill. Ice might be hiding beneath the
melting snow, waiting to send you off the road. The car coming towards you may suddenly slide across
the road.
Rule Number One of driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly. Uneven movements can made a
car suddenly very difficult to control. So every time you turn the wheel, touch the brakes or increase
your speed, you must be as gentle and as slow as possible. Imagine you are driving with a full cup of
hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill it.
Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further
down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to stop by gently braking. Remember that you
may be driving more quickly than you think. In general, allow double your normal stopping distance
when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of
your car at all times and you will avoid trouble.
41. What is the writer trying to do in this text?

A. Complain about bad winter driving . B. Give information about winter weather.
C. Warn people against driving in winter. D. Advise people about safe driving in winter.
42. Why would some body read this text?
A. To find out about the weather. B. For information on driving lesson.
C. To learn about better driving. D. To decide when to travel.
43. What does the writer think?
A. People should avoid driving in the snow. B. Drivers should expect problems in winter.
C. People drive too fast in winter. D. Winter drivers should use their brakes less.
44. What does the writer talk about a cup of coffee?
A. To explain the importance of smooth movements.
B. Because he thinks refreshments are important for drivers.
C. Because he wants drivers to be more relax.
D. To show how it can be spilled
45. Which traffic sign shows the main idea of the text?
A. drive carefully – ice on road ahead B. reduce speed now – frog ahead C. drive carefully – road

THE END

Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer for each question below.
Every nation and every country has its own customs and traditions. In Britain, traditions play a
more important part in the life of the people than in other countries. English men are proud of their
traditions and carefully keep them up.
There has been a law for about 300 years that all theaters are closed on Sundays. No letters are
delivered; only a few Sunday papers are published.
Nowadays, an English family prefers a house with a garden to a flat in a modern house with

answer in the space provided.
Today, I’d like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up of 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.
51. Who is the most likely speaker?
A. A professor. B. A doctor. C. A mechanic. D. A chemist.
52. The speaker’s main topic is ______.
A. ultraviolet light B. the use of spray cans
C. air-conditioning systems D. fluorocarbons and the ozone layer
53. What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer?
A. Providing fluorocarbons. B. Shielding the sun.
C. Protecting the earth. D. Destroying chemicals.
54. What is the ozone layer made of?
A. Fluorocarbons. B. Oxygen. C. Shields. D. Ultraviolet light.
55. What will the speaker probably discuss next?
A. How to make air conditioners with fluorocarbons.
B. The sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion.
C. The make-up of the ozone layer.
D. Harmful effects of ultraviolet light.

Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.
The Moon revolves once on its axis each time it orbits the Earth, thus always presenting the
same face to earth bound observers. However, even to the unaided eye this unchanging face shows
two contrasting types of landscape dark, plain- like areas of lower relief, and brighter, decidedly
more rugged regions which cover about two- thirds of the surface. Early astronomers mistakenly
referred to the smooth dark areas as Maria (or sea) giving the name terrace (or land) to the bright
up land regions. The terms have persisted since, even though the Moon’s surface has long been
known to be completely waterless.

English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages
when I was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University. As for me, mastering
a foreign language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful.
Traveling to the country where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot
speak the language well enough you will certainly have troubles. I also frequently go to the movies,
watch television, listen to the radio in the language I am trying to learn. Reading is another good
way to learn. Books are good, but I personally think newspapers and magazines are better.

vocabulary should be mastered first.

A. in Spain B. at high school C. at University D. B and C

The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the Football World Cup or that Soccer World C
up, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international football competition
contested by the men’s national football teams of member nations of the Fédération Internationale de
Football Association (FIFA). The championship has been awarded every four years since the first
tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War II. However, the event is often on going,
as the qualifying rounds of the competition take place over the three years preceding the final rounds. Since
1991, FIFA has also held the Women’s World Cup on the similar four-year schedule. The tournament’s
final phase, which is often called the World Cup Finals, involves thirty-two national teams competing at
several venues within the host nation or nations over a period of about a month. It is the most widely-
viewed sporting event in the world, with 1.1 billion people watching the 2002 tournament final.
In the eighteen tournaments held, only seven nations have won. Brazil is the most successful
World Cup team, having won the tournament five times. The current Cup holder, Italy, follows with four
tittles, while Germany holds three. The other former champions are Uruguay and Argentina with two titles
each, and England and French with one title each. Only two teams from outside these two continents,
Europe and South America, have ever reached the semi-finals of the competition: the USA in 1930 and
South Korea in 2002. The most recent football World Cup Finals were held between June 9 and July 9,
2006 in Germany, where Italy was crowned champions after beating France 5-3 in a penalty shoot-out.

VII. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he
foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the
inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for
awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were
five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just
sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was
invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated
diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the
judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II Some people have won
two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
1. When did the first award ceremony take place?
A. 1895 B . 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968
2. Why was the Nobel prize established?
A. To recognise worthwhile contributions to humanity. B. To resolve political differences.
C. To honour the inventor of dynamite. D. To spend money.

B. Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel's invention.
C. Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.

Thanksgiving Day is a holiday that Americans celebrate the honor of everything the country
offered to their ancestors, who was among the first immigrants to the US. When they first came to
America, they saw that there was enough food and opportunity for everyone. They were even
helped by the Indians, who taught them how to grow all kinds of new vegetables, such as corns and
yams or sweet potatoes.
On Thanksgiving Day, it’s traditional to eat a big meal together. The Americans eat food that
was found here by their ancestors. They usually eat turkey with sweet potatoes, Indian corn bread,
and have pumpkin pie for dessert. Every Thanksgiving Day, a giant parade is held by one of the

Read the following passage and answer the questions below.
A burn is an injury to the skin caused by exposure to fire, hot liquids or metals, chemicals,
electricity or the sun’s ultraviolet rays. When someone gets a burn , it’s necessary to provide first - aid
right away. First aid for burns involves removing the source of the burn as soon as possible. The burns
should be cooled immediately with cold water. A clean, cold wet towel or dressing can be placed on
less serious burns to ease pain and protect the burns from contaminating. If the burn is caused by
chemicals, it should be bathed continuously with running water for at least 20 minutes to reduce the
substance. Any powder should be carefully brushed off with gloved or protected hands before washing.
Wet dressings should never be used for burns. Instead, the first - aid provider should gently apply dry,
sterile dressing held in place by bandages and seek immediate medical attention.

1. What can cause burns?

1 Most British people go abroad in holiday, to visit family, or on short business trips. People
2 are advising to find out how to get urgent treatment before leaving the UK. They have to
3 get a form which explains that they should do if they fall ill or have an accident, and what
4 arrangements exist in each country with medical treatment. The regulations are fairly
5 simple but whether people do not have this information, they may find that private
6 medical care is extreme expensive. It is not unusual for people to discover that they do not
7 have money enough with them to pay the total costs and in such circumstances an already
8 difficulty situation becomes even more complicated.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help
us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of
the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly
spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into blood, and we may feel quite ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy?. Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill
the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they
are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they
see a dentist.
Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day-
once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean
between our teeth after a meal.
Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread,
potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad,
especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and
cause decay.
1. Good teeth help us to ................
A. be nice B. have a good eye sight. C. chew our food D. be important
2. When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth ............
A. become hard B. begin to decay. C. send poison into the blood. D. makes us feel quite ill.
3. A lot of people visit a dentist only when ..............
A. their teeth grow properly B. they have holes in their teeth
C. they have toothache D. they have brushed their teeth.
4. We ought to try clean our teeth ...............
A. once a day B. at least twice a day C. between meals D. before breakfast.
5. We shouldn’t eat a lot of ............... A. red rice B. fresh fruit C. fish D. chocolate.

Section C. Reading and speaking
I. Read the text and choose the best option to answer the question.
Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginning of agriculture. The global need
for weed control has been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides are effectively
and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic
compounds threaten animals and public health when they are present in food plant, ground water,
and drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them.
In recent years the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more
ecologically sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems. Therefore,
scientists are exploring the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and
microorganisms.
The biological agents now in use are harmless to humans, environmentally friendly, and
offer the benefit of specificity. They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and
leave the crops and other plants untouched. . In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill
almost all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally resistant to
those that have been genetically modified for the resistance. Furthermore, a number of biological
agents can be administered only once, after that no added applications are needed. Chemicals,
typically, must be used several time per growing season.
1. What is the passage primarily about.
A. The importance of the chemical industry
B. The dangers of toxic chemicals
C. Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones.
D. A suggestion to ban the use of all herbicides.
2. According to the passage, the use of chemical agents............
A. has become more dangerous in recent years. B. is occasionally required.
C. is perfectly safe D. should be increased
3. According to the passage, biological agents usually consist of.............
A. insects and micro organisms. B. food plants
C. various types of mammals D. weeds
4. Which of the following is NOT given as an advantage of using biological agents over chemical
herbicides?
A. They are less likely to destroy desirable plants B. They are safer for workers
C. They are more easily available D. They do not have to be used as often
5. The word "toxic" in line 4 means............. A. useful B. useless C. poisonous D. harmless
Answer: 1........... 2............ 3............. 4............ 5............
II. Fill in the blanks with one suitable word

To do well at school, college or university you usually need to do well in exams. All the
students hate exams’ may be a generalization, but it is fairly true one. Certainly, all of the students
I’ve known disliked doing exams. None of them thought that the exam system was fair; to do well
in an exam you simply had to be able to predict the questions which would be asked. This was the
case as regards two students in my class at college. Both of them were exceptionally bright, but in
the final year exam neither of them got an A grade. In fact, they both got Cs. The exam had tested
us on questions which had come up the previous year. They had both assumed that the same
questions wouldn’t come up again, and hadn’t prepared for them.

B. To do well in an exam you simply had the ability to predict the questions which would be asked.
C. None of the students the writer have known disliked doing exams.
D. All the students hate exams is fairy true generalization
4. Why did the two students in the writers class get C grades in the final exam?
A. Because the exam was really difficult.
B. Because they didn’t prepare for the questions that had come up the previous year.

D. Because the questions weren’t in their lessons.

READING: The bomb and the pilot

3 people were on a plane. One said to the pilot, "I have a glass bottle. What do I do with it?" The
pilot told him to throw it out the window. The second one asked the same question and the pilot
also told him to throw it out the window. The third one asked the pilot, "I have a bomb. What do I
do with it?" The pilot told him to throw it out the window. When they landed they met a man
crying. When asked why he was crying, he replied, "Because I got hit in the head with a glass
bottle. They met a woman who was crying for the same reason. Then they met a man laughing.
They asked him why he was laughing and he replied, "Because I walked by a building and farted.

III. Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question.
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean
water. Having clean drinking water is basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage
have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become
vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich
variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world.
But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pours into the lake
everyday. Even where law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most
industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water
surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly
throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the
world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean
water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do
something now.

A. acid rain B. industrial pollution. C. safe water shortage. D. population explosion .

B. It is polluted by massive volumes of industrial wastes discharged into it .
C. It has 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world .
D. The government did not have the power to enforce laws and regulations.
4. How many countries throw industrial waste into the Mediterranean Sea regularly?
A. nearly 16 B. exactly 16. C. exactly 15 D. less than 15.
5. What is the message to the reader?
A. We should take action to protect our water resources.
B. We should take all water resources into account.
C. We should limit the use of water resources.

DIET AND WEIGHT
Most of the joggers who are overweight are reasonable for talking about and obsessing with
their weight. Since many people start jogging to lose weight (perhaps you’re one of them), it is not
surprising that body size is important. More and more people are on a diet, 50% of the women and
close to 25% of the men in the US are watching what they eat. Body weight is the second most talked
among joggers - heart disease and high blood pressure are the first! There are many factors that affect
your weight. They include: body type, diet, exercise level, sex and age. What may be an “ideal" weight
for you at the age of 27 may not be ideal when you are 54. And your ideal weight will probably be
different during racing season when in a specific training phase.
1. What are most of joggers who are overweight worried about?
A. Their weight B. Their height C. Their jogging D. The distance
2. To many people, _________
A. body size is not a problem B. body size is very important
C. they do not care about their body size D. jogging is a waste of time.

II. Read the passage and answer the questions below .
Traveling to all corners of the world is getting easier and easier. We live in a global village, but how
well do we know and understand each other? Here is simple test. Imagine you have arranged a meeting
at 4pm. What time should you expect your foreign business colleagues to arrive? If they’re German,
they’ll be exactly on time. If they’re American, they’ll probably be 15 minutes early. If they’re British,
they’ll be 15 minutes late, and you should allow up to an hour for the Italians. Therefore, these are
some small advice in order not to behave badly abroad. In France you shouldn’t sit down in a cafe until
you’ve shaken hands with everyone you know. In Afghanistan you’d better spend at least 5 minutes
saying hello. In Pakistan you mustn’t wink. It is offensive. In the Middle East you must never use the
left hand for greeting, eating, drinking, or smoking. Also, you should care not to admire anything in
your hosts’ home. They will feel that they have to give it to you. In Russia you must match your hosts’
drink for your drink or they will think you are unfriendly. In Thailand you should clasp your hands
together and lower your head and your eyes when you greet someone. In America you should eat your
hamburger with both hands and as quickly as possible. You shouldn’t try to have a conversation until it
is eaten.
1. According to the text, which nationalities are the most and least punctual?
