Read the passage and choose the option that best answers the question or completes the sentence :

Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the

tides. No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by

the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The

currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive

sweep.

The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant

Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of

the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the

control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty

minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day.

And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies. The tidal

movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. These are the

highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At

these times, the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is

added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs,

and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the

Sun, Moon, and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and

Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference

between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month.

A. waves created by the wind combine with the Moon’s gravitational attraction

below:

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phíOver a period of time, many habitats change with respect to the types of plants and animals that

live there. This change is known as succession

Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they

live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment

by shielding the soil from the direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground surface becomes

cooler and moisture, than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been

changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the

grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also build up the soil in the area; in addition,

they attract animals that also enhance the shrubs. They are not able to shade out oak and hickory

seedlings; however, they have found the forest floor suitable. These seedlings grow into large trees

that eventually shade out the pines.

Câu 51: What is the best title of this passage?

A. The importance of weeds and grasses B. How environmental habitats change

A. pines and grasses can exist together B. birds discourage the growth of shrubs

Read the following passage on climate change, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer

sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 67 to 76.

Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to

our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before.

For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods.

These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred

gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently being monitored are said to be the

result not of natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming

alarmingly rapid.

The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this

warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000

years. The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to

such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts.

These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture.

It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases,

such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial

processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a

greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet.

Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the

subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries. Of these

summits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997. There it was agreed that the most

industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given

targets for this reduction of emissions.

It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb

greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic

deforestation.

Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are

often still being regarded as scaremongering.

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 following questions:

Colors and Emotions

Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as

important to me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related?

Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and

is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color that you choose to wear

either refects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need.

The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you. Of

course they also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the one saturated with the

color all day ! I even choose items around me based on their color. In the morning, I choose my clothes

based on the color or emotion that I need for the day. So you can consciously use color to control the

emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better.

Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are

meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in

motion. Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body. So, the fastest wau to

be healthy is to be open to your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit

your emotions.

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 following questions:

The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee. Natural selection has acted

in a variety of ways in different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviors, known as "flight

behaviors" or escape behaviors that are used by prey in fleeing predators. Perhaps the most direct

adaptation is enhanced light speed and agility.

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phíAdaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only

some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy.

Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way.

Many species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a

characteristic zigzag fashion. Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a

predator to track prey.

In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the presence of

predators that are faster than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are slower.

One observation that supports this suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded

gulls, which are normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes

in flight direction when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds).

A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behavior. Here, the

alarmed prey flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile

prey, and a startling flash of activity followed by immobility may confuse them. "Flash" behavior is

used in particular by frogs and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit

immobile. In some species, "flash" behavior is enhanced by the display of bright body markings. Good

examples of insects with colorful markings are the red and yellow underwing moths. At rest, both

species are a cryptic brown color. When they fly, however, brightly colored hind wings are exposed,

which render the moths highly conspicuous. Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly colored

patches or frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly. Some species even appear to

possess "flash" sounds. The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they

jump may serve to emphasize the movement.

55. The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to_____.

A. encourage B. increase C. resist D. reveal

56. The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is_____.

A. reliable B. fast C. constant D. unpredictable

57. It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare_____.

A. is faster than most of its predators B. is preyed upon by gulls and falcons

C. is more likely to escape using straight flight D. is capable of two kinds of flight

58. The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of_____.

A. European hares B. gazelles C. peregrine falcons D. frogs

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí59. It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for

which of the following reasons?

A. The falcons are faster than the gulls. B. The falcons are unpredictable.

C. The gulls want to capture the falcons. D. The gulls depend on the falcons for protection.

60. The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to_____.

A. frightened B. moving C. selected D. exhausted

61. All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behaviour EXCEPT_____.

A. aggressive fighting B. brief conspicuous C. immobility D. bright body markings

62. The phrase "in particular" is closest in meaning to_____.

A. especially B. with difficulty C. expertly D. frequently

63. The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar to_____.

A. the hind wings of peregrine falcons B. the zigzag flight of European hares

C. the colored patches on frogs D. the clicking of grasshoppers

64. Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in the last line?

B. To contrast animals that "flash" with animals that "freeze".

C. As an example of an animal whose "flash" behaviour is a sound.

Read the passagesandchoose the best answerto the questions following it.

Passage 1:

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phíIn the exploration of the linguistic life cycle, it is apparent that it is much more difficult to learn a

second language in adulthood than a first language in childhood. Most adults never completely master a

foreign language, especially in phonology -hence the ubiquitous foreign accent. Their development

often "fossilizes" into permanent error patterns that no teaching or correction can undo. Of

course,there are great individual differences, which depend on effort, attitudes, amount of exposure,

quality of teaching, and plain talent, but there seems to be a cap for the best adults in the best

circumstances.

Many explanations have been advanced for children's superiority: they exploit Motherese (the

simplified, repetitive conversation between parents and children), make errors unself-consciously, are

more motivated to communicate, like to conform, are not set in their ways, and have no first language

to interfere. But some of these accounts are unlikely, based on what is known about how language

acquisition works. Recent evidence is calling these social and motivation explanations into

doubt. Holding every other factor constant, a key factor stands out: sheer age.

Systematicevidence comes from the psychologist Elissa Newport and her colleagues. They tested

Korean and Chinese-born students at the University of Illinois who had spent at least ten years in the

United States. The immigrants were given a list of 276 simple English sentences, half of them

containing some grammatical error. The immigrants who came to the United States between the ages of

3 and 7 performed identically to American-born students. Those who arrived between the ages of 8 and

15 did worse the later they arrived, and those who arrived between 17 and 39 did the worst of all, and

showed huge variability unrelated to their age of arrival.

61. The passage mainly discusses...

A. adult differences in learning a learn languages quickly for all of the foreign language

B. children's ability to learn a language.

C. the age factor in learning languages fast.

D. research into language acquisition.

A. the grammarof a language.

B. the rules of a language.

C. the vocabulary of a language.

D. the sound system of a language.

63. The word "cap" in line 5 is closest in

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phíA. prize B. limit. C. covering. D. level.

C. their approach is flexible.

D. they frequently repeat words.

70. Where in the passage does the author mention that childrenacquire their own language easily?

A. Lines 1 -2 B. Lines 7 –9 C. Lines 14 –16 D. Lines 17 -18

Passage 2:

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care.

View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a

living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference

between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an

attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of

friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phíDeciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to begin

by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and

surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel?

Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?” There are

no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features

you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them

in order of importance to you.

The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If

not, there are diversity occupations –building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent –that involve a

great deal of time away fromthe office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in

some fields is concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large

cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found

in all regions of the country.

If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as

insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases alongwith

your experience, additional training, promotions and commission.

Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or

negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a

plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have

merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without

sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid assome doctors. Another point to consider is that as

you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new

opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.

71. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to

A. jobs B. answers C. features D. questions

72. Why does the author mention “long, grueling hours without sleeps” in paragraph 5?

A. To show that people must work hard for the career they have chosen.

B. To discourage readers from choosing a career as a flight attendant.

C. To contrast the reality of a flight attendant’s job with most people’s perception.

D. To emphasize the difficulty of working as a plumber.

73. The author states that “There are no right or wrong answers” in order to ____

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phíA. emphasize that each person’s answers will be different.

B. show that answering the questions is a long and difficult process.

C. indicate that the answers are not really important.

D. indicate that each person’s answers may change over time.

74. The word “evoke” in paragraph 5is closest in meaning to

A. be related to B. agree on C. differ from D. bring to mind

75. It can be inferred from paragraph4that

A. people should constantly work toward the next promotion.

B. insurance sales people can earn high salary later in their career.

C. jobs in insurance sales are generally not well-paid.

D. a starting salary should be an important consideration in choosing a career.

76. The word “that” in paragraph 5refers to

A. commission B. a flight attendant C. the traveling life D. occupation

77. The word “assessing” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by

A. disposing B. considering C. discovering D. measuring

78. The word “take into account” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

A. come into force B. get into trouble C. springinto action D. take into nsideration

79. In paragraph 5, the author suggests that

A. you may want to change careers at some time in the future.

B. you will be at your job for a lifetime, so choose carefully.

C. as you get older, your career will probably less fulfilling.

VII. Read the passage and the quetions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer A, B, C,

or D that you think fits best.

In 1900 the United States had only three cities with more than a million residents-New York, Chicago,

and Philadelphia. By 1930, it had ten giant metropolises. The newer ones experienced

remarkable growth, which reflected basic changes in the economy. The population of Los

Angeles (114,000 in 1900) rose spectacularly in the early decades of the twentieth century,

increasing a dramatic 1,400 percent from 1900 to1930.

A number of circumstances contributed to the meteoric rise of Los Angeles. The agricultural

potential of the area was enormous if water forirrigation could be found, and the city founders had the

vision and dating to obtain it by constructing a 225-mile aqueduct, completed in 1913, to tap the water

of the Owens River. The city had a superb natural harbor, as well as excellent rail connections. The

climate made it possible to shoot motion pictures year-round; hence Hollywood. Hollywood not only

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phísupplied jobs; it disseminated an image of the good life in Southern California on screens all across

thenation. The most important single industry powering the growth of Los Angeles, however, was

directly linked to the automobile. The demand for petroleum to fuel gasoline engines led to the

opening of the Southern California oil fields, and made Los Angeles North America's greatest refining

center.

Los Angeles was a product of the auto age in another sense as well: its distinctive

spatialorganization depended on widespread private ownership of automobiles. Los Angeles was

a decentralized metropolis, sprawling across the desert landscape over an area of 400 square

miles. It was a city without a real center. The downtown business district did not grow apace with the

city as a whole, and the rapid transit system designed to link the center with outlying areas withered

away from disuse. Approximately 800,000 cars were registered in Los Angeles County in 1930,

one per 2.7 residents. Some visitors from the east coast were dismayed at the endless urban sprawl

and dismissed Los Angeles as a mere collection of suburbs in search of a city. But the freedomand

mobility of a city built on wheels attracted floods of migrants to the city.

or D that you think fits best:

A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the

atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals vegetations, or materials adversely. Air

pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air

pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to

compounds that could be seen or smelled-a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known

today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals

has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be

considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.

Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and

nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these

pollutants were alteredby various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical

cycle. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the

water or soil on a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting form

human activities. However, human productionusually occurs in a localized area, such as a city.

In this localized regions, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the

natural purification scheme of the cycle. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals

in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the

concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual

concentration need not be large fora substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us

little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phínaturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectablehealth effects at 0.08 parts per million

(ppm), which is about 400times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, ahs a natural level of 0.1

ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.
