Changes in care giving roles
Fathers used to act as the ‘breadwinner' of their family, and as the teacher of moral and religious values. Today,
however, those roles are gradually changing.
Changes in economic roles
More and more women are going out to work and earn money. This increases the budget of the family. Apart from
that, there are various social welfare programmes which financially assist mothers in supporting their children. Both
these changes have greatly impacted the role of fathers because they make paternal financial support less essential for
many families.
Changes in caregiving roles
With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father's role, modern day fathers
tend to be more involved in children's caregiving. They are now spending more time and energy on their children.
Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the influence of a father's love and
attention is as great as that of a mother's. Fatherly love helps children develop a sense of their place in the world,
which helps their social and emotional development. Moreover, children who receive more love from their fathers are
less likely to have behavioural problems.
This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future, especially in traditionally
male-dominated societies.

A. financial supporter B. teacher of moral values C. religious educator D. caregiver

A. support families financially B. help mothers with domestic abuse
C. educate fathers about their responsibilities D. train caregivers

A. more important than B. less important than C. much greater than D. as important as
44. Children who get more fatherly love will behavioural problems.
A. never have any B. have more C. have fewer D. have a lot of
45.The changing roles of the father will be seen more clearly in .
A. ethnic groups B. developed countries

Changes in care giving roles
With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father’s role, modern
day fathers tend to be more involved in children’s care giving. They are now spending more time and energy
on their children. Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the
influence of a father’s love and attention is as great as that of a mother’s. Fatherly love helps children
develop a sense of their place in the world, which helps their social and emotional development. Moreover,
children who receive more love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioural problems.
This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future, especially in
traditionally male-dominated societies.

Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean three times. His first voyage brought him fame and popularity
- he discovered a new continent. But he had enemies who wanted to get rid of him. On his second voyage
the Government of the country that Columbus himself discovered threw him into prison.
He was sent back to Spain as a prisoner. But Columbus succeeded in proving that the lies his
enemies spread about him were untrue, and the Spanish Government gave him four ships to start on a new
voyage. But this third voyage was unfortunate from the beginning. The ships were met by terrible storms
and the time he reached the shores of Haiti, Columbus lost three of them. The remaining ship was about to
go down when Columbus reached the island.
It took Columbus almost a year to return to Spain. He was unhappy, disappointed and broken in

Spain. He travelled along the coast of the land that Columbus discovered, and he proved that it was not the
coast of India, as Columbus thought, but unknown continent.
For a long time the new continent was called the New World. But at last, they decided to name it

Tigers are one of the most powerful and graceful animals in the world. The different species that still
exist today, namely the Bengal, Indochina, Siberian, South China and Sumatra tigers are in danger of
becoming extinct. Due to irresponsible hunting, the Bali, Caspian and Java tigers have already become
extinct. This could soon happen to the other species too.
In the past, tigers were considered as pests. With a smaller area to hunt, as man had taken up more of
the land to build upon, the tigers found less area for themselves to hunt. They thus turned to farms to get
their food. Farmers’ livestock were attacked by these tigers. People were then encouraged to hunt and kill
these animals with the promise of rewards. Even after the threat of tigers on livestock was over, man
continued to hunt tigers, this time for recreation. Poachers too hunt tigers for their body parts knowing that
the skin of tigers is much sought after. Bones and other organs are also used as ingredients in traditional
Chinese medicine. Although killing is illegal, it is still being carried out unless it is stopped, the remaining

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.

Dear Angela,
42
I was horrified when I found out that my 12-year-old daughter had been arrested for stealing some make-
up from a high street chemist’s. This happened because she had been dared by some older children from her
school. She was so frightened that she started crying –which is what attracted the attention of the shop
assistant. The police were called and she was given a tell-off at the police station.
Since this terrifying experience, she has been too afraid to go out on her own and cries all the time. My
husband doesn’t seem to care that much. He says that she shouldn’t have stolen in the first place and was
unlucky to be caught. Now it is over she must learn to live with it. But I feel a failure as a parent and am
afraid that my child will turn to crime later on in life.

total (19) of the railroad is over 3,000 km, with the main route being the North-South (20) ,
which is 1,726 km long. This track was considered the backbone of Indochina at the time. Now, the rail

Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspaper, we hear, see or read about many problems in the
world, for example, pollution problems.
Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes, cars, airplanes, trains
and poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped anywhere, even in the city where many
people are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution. Many people earn their living from fishing
in the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people. But the sea has become so polluted from oil spills and
factory wastes that the fish are dying. This is not only killing the fish, but is also affecting those people who
eat fish.

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 worldwide contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics,

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.
Question 36. 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.
Question 37. What does the word they in line 4 refer to?
A. solar cells. B. other renewable resources. C. advantages. D. solar energy users.
Question 38. 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.
Question 39. Which of the following is NOT a traditional source of energy?
A. oil B. solar energy C. coal D. gas
Question 40. What does the word benefits in line 11 mean ?
A. bad points B. resources C. friendliness D. good points

One of the most urgent environment problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage
have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes and even entire seas have become large pools
of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of largest lake 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 pollutants which pour into the lake
every day. 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 sixteen 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.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he

Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours. There are two very different
types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways. The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks have
become flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great
“wings” They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical and “the right way up”.
Conversely fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way. There are bony fish which
have a marked tendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much “taller” than they are wide. They
use their whole vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through the water as they
move. Therefore when * their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their bellies.
However, this raises the problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was effectively
useless - In evolution this problem was solved by the lower eye “moving” around the other side. We see this
process of moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish. It starts life swimming near
the surface, and is symmetrical and vertically flattened, but then the skull starts to grow in a strange
asymmetrical twisted fashion, so that one eye for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards, an
72
old Picasso - like vision. Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on the left, and
others on either side.
Question 36: The passage is mainly concerned with:
A. symmetrical flatfish B. bony flatfish
C. evolution of flatfish D. different types of flatfish
Question 37: It can be inferred from the passage that horizontal symmetrical fish
A. have one eye each side of the head B. have one eye underneath the head
C. have two eyes on top of the head D. have eyes that move around the head
Question 38: The word “conversely” is closest in meaning to:

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.
41. What does the passage primarily discuss?
A. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
B. Solar energy’s advantages over other sources of energy.
C. The cost of solar energy.
D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels.
42. What does the word they in line 4 refer to?
A. solar energy users. B. other renewable resources. C. advantages. D. solar cells.
43. 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.
44. Which of the following is NOT a traditional source of energy?
A. solar energy B. oil C. coal D. gas
45. What does the word benefits in line 11 mean ?
A. bad points B. resources C. good points D. friendliness

A Mission to Mars
Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system? If you have, there is
an actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in 2023. Known as the
Mars One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one-way mission to colonize Mars. Those chosen
people will have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip.
For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they will be
living the rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have personalities that allow
them to get along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be very spacious, so they will have to
deal with that condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people back
75
on the earth via e-mail and videos and audio sent back and forth. However, there won’t be any real-time
communication. Even at the speed of light, communication between the earth and Mars takes about 20 minutes.
Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are asking.
There is an enormous skepticism in the science community, and Wired magazine gave the mission a miserable
score of two out of ten on its probability scale. However, for those who dream to go to Mars, at least they can
say there is a possibility that it could happen.
Question 41: What will NOT happen to the people who go on the Mars One Mission?
A. They will live in quarters that don’t have a lot of space inside. B. They will return to the earth

C. A crew on board of the Mars One Mission D. A score of the programme on the probability scale
Question 43: How long will it take for a message to come back from Mars?
A. Almost immediatel B. About an hour C. Around 20 minutes D. Only a few seconds
Question 44: What will NOT be spacious?
A. The mission B. The living quarters C. The spaceship D. The magazines
Question 45: Who might like to go on this mission?

Many people continue to skip breakfast despite its being the most important meal of the day. Busy
people often rush out the doors in the mornings without giving their body 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 machines or biscuits
tin. Loysa Hourigan, from Nutrition Australia, said that catching up 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 get depleted of glucose and you feel tired,” Ms Hourigan

Science is a very important indicator of the future. Every scientific advance or discovery gives us a clue
about what the future will hold for society. Perhaps the most amazing scientific discovery in recent times
was the birth of Dolly the sheep. Dolly was the first successful cloned animal – that is, she was the first
animal ever to be created from a single adult cell. She is an exact copy of her biological mother. Since
Dolly’s birth, there has been debate about what this means for society in the future – because if we can clone
sheep, we can surely clone humans. Some think that there are already signs that such things will eventually
happen. For example, couples in the United States who can’t or don’t want to have children by natural
methods can now select the human egg and sperm they want through catalogues, audiotapes or even
computer order systems. One journalist has commented, “Ordering a frozen embryo is a little more
emotionally complicated than ordering a home-delivered pizza – but not so different logistically.” (Hewitt
1998)

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

Read the following passage and mark the correct answer A, B, C, or D
81
Unlike life in the countryside, which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in the city is
modern and complicated. People from different regions move to cities in the hope of having a better life for
themselves and their children. With plenty of job opportunities available in the city, the inhabitants work as
secretaries, businessmen, teachers, government officials, factory workers, street vendors or construction
workers and so on.
The high cost of living requires city dwellers, especially those with low income, to work harder or to
take part-time jobs. For many people, daily life typically involves getting up in the early morning to do
exercise in public parks, preparing for a hard day of working and studying, then travelling along crowded
boulevards or narrow streets filled with motor scooters and returning home late at night. They usually live in
large houses, high-rise apartment blocks or even in small rental rooms equipped with modern facilities, like
the Internet, telephone, television, and so on. Industrialization and modernization, as well as global
integration, have big impacts on lifestyle in cities. The most noticeable impact is the Western style of
clothes. The Ao dai, Vietnamese traditional clothes - is no longer regularly worn in Vietnamese women’s

THE BEATLES
In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then,
there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to
imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the North of England and
none of them had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by black
Americans and they had some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that
was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to
achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and
singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963
and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too
dangerous for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as
souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out.

At the age of sixty-five, Laura Ingalls Wilder began writing a series of novels for young people
based on her early experiences on the American frontier. Born in the state of Wiscosin in 1867, she and her
family were rugged pioneers. Seeking better farm land, they went by covered wagon to Missouri in 1869,
then on to Kansas the next year, returning to Wisconsin in 1871, and traveling on to Minnesota and Lowa
before settling permanently in South Dakota in 1879. Because of this continuing moving, Wilder's early
education took place sporadically in a succession of one-room schools. From age thirteen to sixteen she
attended school more regularly although she never graduated.
At the age of eighteen, she married Almanzo James Wilder. They bought a small farm in the Ozarks, where
they remained for the rest of their lives. Their only daughter, Rose, who had become a nationally known
journalist, encouraged her mother to write. Serving as agent and editor, Rose negotiated with Harper's to
publish her mother's first book, Little House on the Big Woods. Seven more books followed, each
chronicling her early life on the plains. Written from the perspective of a child, they have remained popular
with young readers from many nations. Twenty years after her death in 1957, more than 20 million copies
had been sold, and they had been translated into fourteen languages. In 1974, a weekly television series,

Read the passage and mark A,B,C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
The phrase “healthy lifestyle” is a definition of how you should live if you want to get the healthiest
body you can- one that both looks good and feels good. You know the obvious behaviors that describe
someone who is healthy and takes care of themselves. A healthy person doesn't smoke, cats healthy foods
with plenty of fruits, vegetables and fiber and, of course, exercises regularly. A healthy person also knows
how to manage stress, gets good quality sleep each night, doesn't drink too much, doesn't sit too much, does
everything in moderation all the time. When you look at everything that could possibly make a healthy
lifestyle, you can see just how hard all of those things are in our current world.
There is no such thing as a "bad" food, but there are some foods you should try not to have regular basis.
Fast food refers to food that can be prepared and served quickly. It is popular as the food is inexpensive,
convenient, and tastes good. Because fast food is high in sodium, trans fat, and cholesterol. it isn't
something you should cat often.
The good news is you don't have to change everything at the same time. In fact, the trick to healthy
living is making small changes-taking more steps cach day, adding fruit to your cereal, having an extra glass
of water, or saying no to that second helping of buttery mashed potatoes. One thing you can do right now to
make your lifestyle healthier is to move more.
Question 24. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Ways to live a healthy life B. The behaviors to describe a healthy person
C. Some healthy foods to eat D. How to manage stress
Question 25. The word "it" in paragraph 2 refers to

Read the passage and mark A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It’s a special, dark place completely different from anywhere
else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants
live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you
don't know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical
parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers
1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western
Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the
Pacific Islands
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "Lungs of our planet"
because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found
in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in
the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example,
pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests.
Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests.
88
Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests,
it's surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of
rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the
plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of
rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain,
and less oxygen for the world.
Question 29. Why is Amazon Rainforest called “Lungs of the planet”?
A. It provides much of our air. B. It helps us breathe.
C. It uses much of the world’s oxygen. D. It helps circulation.
Question 30. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Where rainforest are located. B. How much oxygen rainforests make.
C. Facts about rainforests. D. Kinds of forests.
Question 31. What is the most likely reason why the author is surprised that we are destroying rainforest?
A. It will be too difficult to grow food without them.
B. They are necessary for the fight against cancer.
C. They are necessary for the health of our planet.
D. It will be too expensive to replant them.
Question 32. The word “harvest” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to .
A. gather B. reduce C. create D. destroy
Question 33. Where would you find the largest rainforest in the world?

the attacks. Most of the companies were able to solve the problem in about three hours. The victims of the
attacks included some of the largest and most successful companies on the Internet, such as Yahoo,
Amazon, Com, and E-Trade. The police have investigated the attackers. The computer industry leaders
have discussed electronic attacks and the problems of computer crime. They suggest that a person who is

Read the passage and choose A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions .
Most people would say they know what stress is, but for scientists who study stress, it has been
surprisingly hard to define. This is because there are so many ways of looking at stress. Some researchers
have studied how our bodies react to stress. You know how your heart beats faster, you perspire more
heavily, and your words do not come out right when you are placed in a stressful situation. But knowing
how we feel when experience stress does not explain it; nor does it tell us what causes it.
Other scientists have looked at stressors: events or situations that produce stress. A deadline, a poor
test performance, or bothersome noises all may be thought of as stressors. Even pleasant events can be
stressors. Planning a party or starting a new job can be just as stressful as being called to the principal’s
office. Stress, then, can be caused by both negative and positive events, or stressors. Of course, whether an
event is thought of as positive or negative is, in some ways, a matter of personal choice.
In sum, it is the way people interpret an event that makes it stressful or not stressful. This process of
interpretation is called appraisal. Depending on how people appraise, or judge, circumstances, they may or
may not consider them stressful.

There are deserts all over the world. They can be found in Africa, China, South America, and North
America. In some places, deserts are growing. This is a serious problem because deserts destroy farmland
and ruin the land where animals live. When people cannot grow food or find animals to eat, they have to
leave their homes.
Sometimes, nature can cause deserts to spread. Wind can move sand away from deserts and onto useful
land. When there is no rain for a long time, plants die and deserts grow. However, humans can also cause
deserts to grow. This is called desertification, and it happens in many ways. One way is when people cause
too much air pollution, which can make an area hotter. Hotter weather can reduce the amount of rain as well.
Too many people in one area can also damage the land. In addition, having many animals can harm the land.
When large animals like cows walk on soil too much, they turn it into dust. The wind easily blows this dust
away. Trees help hold water in the ground. When people cut down too many trees, less water stays in the
ground, and the soil is ruined.
All of these things can speed up desertification. To stop deserts from growing, people must think of ways
to treat the land better.

A. Why some deserts are growing. B. Where’s the world deserts are.

A. No rain is a cause of desert growth. B. No wind is a cause of desert growth.
C. Many animals are causes of desert growth. D. Humans are also a cause of desert growth.
Question 46: The word “they” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A. animals B. ways C. people D. deserts
Question 47: The word “ruined” in paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to .
A. put B. constructed C. destroyed D. built
Question 48: Which of the following statement is TRUE, according to the passage?
A.There are deserts in some parts over the world.

C. Plants can’t die when there is no rain for a long time.

Combining visual channels of facial expression and body gesture is a (34) way
to accomplish effective affect analysis. The psychological researchers (35) studied about
body language suggests that the integration of facial expression and body gesture is a
98
mandatory process occurring early in human processing stream. So the two modalities should
be processed in a joint feature space, rather than fused at the decision-level. (36) of
the main difficulties for the feature-level fusion is that the features from different
modalities may be incompatible, and the (37) between different feature spaces is
unknown. Our motivation is that, as facial expression and body gesture are two sets of
measurements for the affective state, conceptually they are correlated. (38) ,this analysis
can establish their relationship, deriving a semantic “affect” space, in which the face and body
features are compatible and can be effectively fused.

Many students believe that math is an inherited ability – either they have the math gene or
they don’t. However, a recent research shows that inborn talent might not be as important as we
think. In the long run, the most successful students are often those who work the hardest, not
those with the highest IQs. These students believe that perseverance, not an innate gift, is the
key to achievement.
In her book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Carol Dweck argues that a positive
mindset is what makes some students push themselves when others give up. Students with a
“fixed mindset” believe that they were born with a certain set of talents. They see challenges as
a sign that they’ve reached the limit of their natural ability, and they stop trying. On the
contrary, students with a “growth mindset” believe that there are no limits on their potential,
and view challenges as a chance to learn and improve. They know that their intelligence can be
built through experience and effort, and are not held back by the idea of inborn restrictions.
Geoff Colvin delivers a similar message in his book, Talent Is Overrated. He demonstrates
that success is almost always the result of what he calls “deliberate practice”, concentrated
effort to improve one’s skills through focused effort. Inborn talent might make a difference
when a subject is first tackled, but years later, it’s the hard-working children who are the most
successful. Kim Callan – a math teacher – agrees: “It is rare for a hard-working student to fail
in my class.”
Having the right mindset is critical to success. Children need to believe in their ability to
overcome challenges through concentrated effort. If you place your child in the right math class
and encourage him/ her to work hard, there’s no limit to what he/she will be able to accomplish.
(Adapted from TOELF Junior Reading)

Recently fans of top soaps, dramas and reality shows in the USA have started to get angry
about the number and frequency of the adverts in the middle of the programmes. Sometimes it
seems that the adverts are more important than the programmes themselves. For example,
American dramas aren't as long as they were in the past. Nowadays in the US, an ‘hour-long’
drama lasts about 40 minutes, whereas in the 1980s the programmes lasted 48 minutes. The
rest is adverts.
The ABC channel had slightly more adverts than other channels. But recently they've
changed, which is even worse than before! Before, all their dramas had four sections. But now
its producers separate each programme into six sections. Usually the first section is
approximately ten minutes long. Then they have the first break. When people have watched a
programme for ten minutes, it’s much less probable that they will stop watching or change
channels. But then, in the next 45 minutes, there are four more commercial breaks. Each break
is about three and a half minutes long.
All of this makes it much more difficult for dramas’ writers to write good stories. Quiet
scenes make no impact because there are more and more adverts which are longer and longer.
'It's OK for game shows or more exciting adventure series.' says American TV producer
David Kelley. ‘But for programmes that don’t depend on violence or melodramatic scenes, it's
more difficult to make a story with six sections. The only thing you can do is be more
aggressive, either with the music or the visual impact, just to attract people's attention after the
adverts.’
(Adapted from Gateway B1)
Question 46. Which could be the best title of the passage?
A. Adverts turn TV viewers off. B. TV commercials are no longer in favour.
C. Commercial breaks increase productivity. D. Modern advertising is an advantage.
Question 47. The phrase “the programmes” in paragraph 1 refers to .
A. American dramas B. the adverts C. the ABC channels D. reality shows
Question 48. The word “probable” in paragraph 2 mostly means .
A. very difficult to deal with B. likely to happen
C. causing worry D. unable to believe
Question 49. According to the passage, previously all of the ABC channel’s dramas .
A. had six segments B. consisted of 4 parts
C. were divided into 5 separate parts D. lasted 40 minutes
Question 50. Which of the following is TRUE about game shows as stated in the passage?
A. They rely neither on violence nor melodramatic scenes.
B. It is possible to make them as six-part programmes.
C. Quiet scenes in game shows are important factors in attracting people’s attention.
D. They attract TV viewers by adverts lasting for three minutes.

Halloween is one of the most famous holidays in the U.S, and it is on October 31. People carve pumpkins
and make funny faces on them. These are called “Jack-O-Lantern”. On October 31, children wear a special
costume such a witch, ghost, or clown. They go to many houses and they knock on the door saying, “Trick
or Treat!” It means that if people don’t give them a treat, they will play some kind of trick on the household.
So, usually people give candy to them.
I carved my first Halloween pumpkin at my Friendship Family’s house. First, I cut open the top of the
pumpkin and pulled the seeds out. It was not good for me because it was sticky and smelled bad. I had never
carved a pumpkin, so it was interesting for me. Next, I carved the eyes and the mouth. I wanted to make a
face like a pirate. When I finished making the face, I put a candle inside. It was very beautiful, so I was

The invention of the electric telegraph gave birth to the communications industry. Although Samuel B.
Morse succeeded in making the invention useful in 1837, it was not until 1843 that the first telegraph line of
consequence was constructed. By 1860 more than 50,000 miles of lines connected people east of the
Rockies. The following year, San Francisco was added to the network.
The national telegraph network fortified the ties between East and West and contributed to the rapid
expansion of the railroads by providing an efficient means to monitor schedules and routes. Furthermore,
the extension of the telegraph, combined with the invention of the steam-driven rotary printing press by
Richard M. Hoe in 1846, revolutionized the world of journalism. Where the business of news gathering
had been dependent upon the mail and on hand-operated presses, the telegraph expanded the amount of
information a newspaper could supply and allowed for more timely reporting. The establishment of the
Associated Press as a central wire service in 1846 marked the advent of a new era in journalism.

A. the origin of the national telegraph
B. how the telegraph network contributed to the expansion of railroads.

C. show how the electric telegraph affected the communications industry.
D. criticize Samuel B. Morse.

A. U.S history book B. science textbook C. computer magazine D. book on trains
Question 40. It can be referred from the passage that .
A. Samuel Morse did not make a significant contribution to the communications industry.
B. Morse’s invention did not immediately achieve its full potential.
C. journalists have the Associated Press to thank for the birth of the communications industry.
D. the extension of the telegraph was more important than its invention.

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.

A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet

Read the following passage and mark the correct answer A, B, C, or D
Unlike life in the countryside, which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in the city is
modern and complicated. People from different regions move to cities in the hope of having a better life for
themselves and their children. With plenty of job opportunities available in the city, the inhabitants work as
secretaries, businessmen, teachers, government officials, factory workers, street vendors or construction
workers and so on.
The high cost of living requires city dwellers, especially those with low income, to work harder or to
take part-time jobs. For many people, daily life typically involves getting up in the early morning to do
exercise in public parks, preparing for a hard day of working and studying, then travelling along crowded
boulevards or narrow streets filled with motor scooters and returning home late at night. They usually live in
large houses, high-rise apartment blocks or even in small rental rooms equipped with modern facilities, like
the Internet, telephone, television, and so on. Industrialization and modernization, as well as global
integration, have big impacts on lifestyle in cities. The most noticeable impact is the Western style of
clothes. The Ao dai, Vietnamese traditional clothes - is no longer regularly worn in Vietnamese women’s
daily life. Instead, jeans, T-shirts and fashionable clothes are widely preferred.

In the past, traveling was nothing less than a dangerous adventure. People had no means of transport
as they have now. They faced all sorts of danger such as bad weather, wild beasts and robbers. Therefore,
most people did not like to go away from their villages. Only those who were adventurous set out on a long
journey.
When man succeeded in training the four-foot animals like the horse and the camel, traveling became
fairly comfortable. A trip across country was still a dangerous undertaking. In those days, it was also very
difficult to transport goods from one place to another. Man carried his load on his head or back. Later,
horses and other animals were used for this purpose. But man and animals could not carry very heavy loads
from one place to another.
Now people living in any part of a country can travel to any other part in comfort. Every country sets
up a railway network. A small sum of money is required to go from one corner of the country to another. If
your business is more urgent, you can travel by airplane. A plane will need only a couple of days to fly
around the whole world. Traveling by sea has also become swifter, more comfortable and secure than
before.

correct answer to each of the following questions.
If you have decided to be a doctor or an engineer, it's easy to get information about how to become
one. It's more difficult if you want to be an actor. Nobody can say, "First you do this, then you do that, and
one day you're an actor". But I can tell you some things that will help.
Learning to be an actor usually starts at school. Drama lessons and clubs can teach students many
things, including different ways of acting and how to write their own plays. Writing helps you understand a
lot about acting. But even more important is learning to work in a group with other actors.
However, school lessons and clubs are only one part of learning about being an actor. Find small
theatre groups near where you live - and don't worry about being the star! It doesn't matter if you only have
one word to say in a play, it will still help you improve. You need to be on stage as much as possible, in a
variety of different types of plays.
When you finish school, you should think about studying at university. Of course, it's possible to be
an actor without going to university, but doing a theatre course is a good idea for some people. These
courses may improve your acting, and also help you learn about a variety of subjects, such as business,
history, music and dance.

Being fluent in more than one language has numerous advantages that extend beyond communication.
Multilingualism offers cognitive, social, and professional benefits, making it a valuable skill in today's
interconnected world.
One of the cognitive benefits of multilingualism is improved memory and attention. Learning and
switching between different languages exercises the brain, enhancing its ability to remember and process
information. Multilingual individuals often display better problem-solving skills and increased mental
flexibility. In terms of social benefits, being multilingual allows for better cross-cultural understanding and
empathy. Language is closely tied to culture, and by speaking multiple languages, individuals gain insights
into different cultural perspectives. This promotes tolerance, open-mindedness, and the ability to connect
116
with people from diverse backgrounds. Professionally, being multilingual opens up a world of opportunities.
In an increasingly globalized job market, employers value individuals who can communicate effectively
with international partners and clients. Multilingual employees are often sought after in industries such as
tourism, diplomacy, and international business. Moreover, learning multiple languages can boost academic
performance. Research has shown that multilingual students tend to have better problem-solving skills,
enhanced creativity, and improved overall academic achievement.
While learning multiple languages requires dedication and effort, the benefits are well worth it. It not
only broadens one's horizons but also contributes to personal growth and understanding of the world.

back; providing feedback as just one example. Social media can be used to advertise; placing an advert on

audiences from their usage to encourage awareness of the product or brand. Users of social media are then
able to like, share and comment on the advert, becoming message senders as they can keep passing the

ongoing trends that are set by big influencers and draw many people’s attention. The type of audience a
business is going for will determine the social media site they use.

People invent things to enhance their lives. Today, inventions are mostly improvements of previous
inventions. With technology, inventions are taking a shorter and shorter time to complete.
One such invention is the camera. The time taken to invent the camera in the sixteenth century was
prolonged due to the lack of technology and scientific knowledge. When inventors first tried to take a
125
photograph in 1558, the image could not stay on the paper permanently. It was only in 1837 that inventors
managed to produce pictures that did not fade away.
With the invention of the camera, further improvements were made and the first underwater camera
was invented in 1856. It was placed in a tightly sealed container. However, when the contraption was
underwater, the container broke before many pictures were taken. It was only in the 1980s that a camera was
made to be able to go deep underwater without being damaged. Less than twenty years later, technology
allowed underwater cameras to take photographs in color and to go even deeper into the water. The cameras
even looked like a fish.
With better technology, an invention will never stay stagnant. People will be relentless in their
efforts at making improvements to an invention.

Climate changes are one of the most intuitive changes in global warming. As a result of a large amount
of carbon dioxide emissions, there is a sharp rise in high-temperature weather, which has an irreversible
impact on our environment and ecology. Scientists say, “Changing weather patterns linked to rising global
temperatures have resulted in a dearth of wind across northern China, according to several recent studies,
exacerbating a wave of severe pollution that has been blamed for millions of premature deaths”. However,
when I returned home last Christmas, there was no snow on the street, instead, it was a warm winter with
sunshine. The continued of global warming may not only bring about changes in climate. The world may
undergo more unpredictable changes due to global warming in the future.
Global climate change has seriously affected the living environment of animals, the change of climate,
the quality of human life, and the threat to human security. Global warming has become a very difficult
trend to reverse. It and rising temperatures have caused very serious consequences for human beings,
brought great impact on the Earth’s organisms and seriously affected people’s lives, but people didn’t realize
the seriousness of the problem. It is urgent to protect the environment and people should take active
measures to deal with it.
