Read the following passages and choose the best answers to the questions.(5ms) Having reached the highest point of our route according to plan, we discovered something the map had not told us. It was impossible to climb down into the King valley. The river lay deep between mountain sides that were almost vertical. We couldn’t find any animal tracks, which usually show the best way across country, and the slopes were covered so thickly with bushes that we could not see the nature of the ground. We had somehow to break through to the river which would give us our direction out of the mountains into the inhabited lowlands. Our guide cut a narrow path through the bushes with his long knife and we followed in single file. Progress was slow. Then, when we thought we had really reached the river, we found ourselves instead on the edge of a cliff with a straight drop of 1,000 feet to the water below. We climbed back up the slope and began to look for another way down. We climbed, slipped, sweated, and scratched our hands to pieces and finally arrived at the river. Happily we strode downhill along its bank without having to cut our way. However, after a few miles the river entered a steep-sided gap between rocks and suddenly dropped thirty-five feet over a waterfall. There was no path alongside it and no way round it. Then one of the guides saw the way of overcoming the difficulty. There was a fallen tree lying upside down over the waterfall with its leafy top resting on the opposite bank below the falls. Without hesitation he climbed down the slippery trunk to show us how easy it was. Having got to fork of the tree, he moved hand over hand along a branch for four or five feet with his legs hanging in space, then he dropped onto the fat bank the other side, throwing his arms in the air like a footballer who has scored a goal and cheerfully waving us on. 96. Having reached the highest point on their route, the travelers expected to be able to A. track animals to the river. B. put away the maps they have been using. C. approach the river from a different direction D. get down to the river without much difficulty. 97. The travelers wanted to get to the river because A. it would lead them to the waterfall B. it would show them which way to go. C. it was the only possible route out of the mountains. D. it was a quicker route than going over the mountains. 98. One the reason why the travelers took so long to get to the river was that. A. it was too hot to move quickly. B. there was no proper path C. they all tried to go different ways. D. they could not follow the animal track. 99. The travelers were happy when they reached the river because A. they had a sense of achievement. B. the going was much easier then. C. they were eager to see the waterfall. D. they knew they were near their destination. 100. To get path the waterfall the guide had to A. use a fallen tree as a kind of bridge. B. cross the river above the waterfall.

Reading comprehension ( 30 points) I. Read the passage carefully then answer the questions below it.(10 points) All languages have rules for forming words and for ordering those words in meaningful sentences. In written languages, meaning is expressed through a system of characters and rules for combining those characters. In spoken languages, meaning is expressed through a system of sounds and rules for combining those sounds. Word order is more important in English than it is in some languages, such as Russian. Like other languages English is always changing, but it changes very slowly. People invent new words, borrow words from other languages, and change the meaning of words as needed. For example, the English word byte was invented by computer specialists in 1959. The word tomato was borrowed from Nahuatl, an American Indian language spoken in Mexico. The word meat once referred to food in general. People learn English as well as languages by listening, copying what they hear, and using the language. Most children learn their first language easily – and sometimes other languages as well. 1. What kinds of rules do all languages have? ……………………………………………………………… 2.

Read the passage below and choose the correct answer for each question (5.0 points): Gelatin is a protein substance that comes from the skins and bones of animals. Most people know it as the substance used to make a jellylike salad or dessert. Not only is it useful in making these foods, but it is also beneficial to the consumer because of its high protein content. Gelatin is also commonly used in the photographic industry and in making medicinal capsules. The process for producing gelatin is a long and complex one. In the processing of gelatin made from bones (which varies slightly from that of gelatin made from skin), the grease first must be eliminated. Then the bones are soaked in a solution of hydrochloric acid in order to rid them of minerals and washed several times in water. Next, the bones are placed in distilled water, heated to over 90 0F for a few hours, placed in fresh distilled water, and then heated again at a little over 100 0F. A fluid forms from this heating, and it is concentrated, chilled, and sliced. Finally, it is dried and ground. In its final form, gelatin is white, tasteless, and odorless. 71. It can be inferred from the reading passage that………………... A. fat acids are used in making good gelatin B. one could easily make gelatin at home C. it is necessary to add minerals to the gelatin D. gelatin is useful for elderly and ill people because it is easy to chew and high in protein. 72. The word 'fluid' is closest in meaning to………………... A. liquid B. distilled water C. substance D. hard material 73. According to the passage, why is eating gelatin healthy? A. It is protein rich. B. It has low fat. C. It does not damage the teeth. D. It has no animal byproducts. 74. Which of the following is TRUE? A. When the gelatin is dried, it is in powder form. B. Grease probably does not aid us in producing gelatin. C. Gelatin made from skin is produced in the same way as that made from bones. D. The chemical used in making gelatin helps maintain minerals on the bones. 75. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. Uses for bones B. Protein Foods C. A great Dessert D.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answers (A, B, C, or D). (5 pts) 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 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. 76. The word "foresaw" is nearest in meaning to ................

(56) III. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question. Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech. A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language. Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5,000 years; but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings. When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write. In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly. To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter. One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization must have. Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized. 84. We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because ......... A. it has become very important in our culture B. people have been writing since there have been human beings C. writing is secondary to language D. human beings have been writing for at least 5,000 years 85. The author of the passage argues that ......... A. writing has become too important in today’s society B. speech is more basic to language than writing C. everyone who learns to speak must learn to write D. all languages should have a written form 86. Normal human beings ......... A. learn to write before learning to talk B. learn to talk before learning to write C. learn to talk after learning to writeD. learn to write and to talk at the same time 87. According to the passage, writing ......... A. is imperfect, but less so than speech B. represents speech, but not perfectly C. developed from imperfect speech D. is represented perfectly by speech 88. In the author’s judgment, ......... A. writing has more advantages than speech B. speech is essential but writing has important benefits C. speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does D. writing is more real than speech 89. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Writing has become so important in our culture. B. It is easy to acquire the writing skill. C. Writing represents speech, but not perfectly. D. Speech is essential but writing has important benefits. 90. The word “advantage” in the last paragraph most closely means .........

The school dance I went to my first school dance last Saturday night and it was a disaster! If only that I’d thought about what I was going to wear a bit more carefully. Although being my best friend Jenny had told me it wasn’t that kind of event, I’d decided to have look really grown-up and wear a dress and high-heeled shoes. When I got there, I looked totally ridiculous and some people started laughing. Despite of this slight setback, I thought I’d hit the dance foor. If I could have survive that, I could survive anything. But even though that went wrong! One of my heels snapped – even if though my shoes.

(58) were brand new – and I had to carry them to the side of the room. It was very embarrassing!

Learning to make a perfect pizza According to the European Pizza-Makers’ Association, making a pizza is not a straightforward skill to learn. The ingredients seem very simple: four, yeast, water, and a bit of salt. (1)_____, water and four can easily turn into a rather unappetizing gluey mix, and anyone who has eaten a poor quality pizza will know how bad it can make your stomach feel. “In Italy, 70 percent of pizza makers could improve on their product, not to mention all the pizza makers around the world who (2)_____ uneatable meals,” says Antonio Primiceri, the association’s founder.

As part of an (3)_____ course, the students at Mr. Primiceri’s school are taught to avoid common mistakes, produce a good basic mixture, add a tasty topping, and cook the pizza properly. “Test the finished pizza by breaking the crust,” advises Mr. Primiceri. “If the soft (4)____ inside the pizza is white, clean and dry, it’s a good pizza.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D. Most people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom. But agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define “wisdom” and consider means of promoting it. There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of there I should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say) as modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not only in Europe and America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowering the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. To take an even more dramatic example, which is in everybody's mind at the present time; you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race. Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments our capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity for evil, if our purposes are unwise. 1. Disagreement arises when people try to decide ______..

(59) A. how much more wisdom we have now than before B. what wisdom is and how to develop it C. if there is a great increase of wisdom in our age D. whether wisdom can be developed or not 2. According to the author, “wisdom” is the ability to ______. A. carefully consider the bad effects of any kind of research work B. give each important problem some careful consideration C. acquire a great deal of complex and special knowledge D. give suitable consideration to all the possible elements in a problem 3. Lowering the infant death-rate may ______. A. prove to be helpful everywhere in the world B. give rise to an increase in population in Europe C. cause food shortages in Asia and Africa D. raise the living standard of the people in Africa 4. The author uses the examples in the passage to illustrate his point that ______. A. it's extremely difficult to consider all the important elements in problem B. success in medical research has its negative effects C. scientists may unknowingly cause destruction to the human race D. it's unwise to be totally absorbed in research in scientific medicine 5. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It is unwise to place the results of scientific research in the hands of a powerful mad man. B. The more knowledge one has, the wiser one becomes. C. Any increase of knowledge could lead to disastrous results without the guidance of wisdom. D. Wisdom increases in proportion to one's age. SECTION D: WRITING I.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer among A, B, C or D. History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly the same time as the pictures – called “synchronized sound” – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and the pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence. In the “sound-on-film” system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this ways as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us “talking pictures”. 41. The passage is mainly about the __________. A. history of silent movies C. development of sound with movies B. disadvantages of synchronized sound D. research into sound reproduction 42.

A. most movie theaters had a pianist B. sound-effects machines were not common because they were expensive C. orchestras couldn’t synchronize sound with the pictures D. gramophones were developed about the same time as moving pictures 46. According to the passage, gramophones were ineffective because they __________. A. got out of synchronization with the picture B. were too large for most movie theaters. C. were newly invented and still had imperfections D. changed speeds when the needle jumped 47. The word “sequence” is closest in meaning to __________. A. interpretation B. progression C. distribution D. organization 48. The phrase “these signals” refers to __________. A. sounds B. series C. marks D, sensors 49.

(1,0 điểm) The language of the Internet is English. “World, Wide, Web: Three English Words” was the name of an article by Michael Specter in the New York Times a few years ago. The article went on to say: “If we want to take full advantage of the Internet, we should learn English” In general, it is not difficult to learn to use Internet services. Although Internet services are rather easy to use, we will have considerable difficulties if we are not familiar with English. In fact, knowledge of English is one of the most important aspects that helps us use the Internet. Learning to use a new Internet service may take a few hours, a few days, or some weeks, but it takes years to learn a language so that we can use it fuently and confidently. Of course, when we know some English, we can learn more just by using it on the Internet. But at least our English should be good enough to understand commonly used words and to know that to do on the Internet. 1. Which language is the language of the Internet? 2. What should we do to take full advantage of the Internet? 3. How long does it take us to use a language fuently and confidently? 4. Can we use Internet well if we don’t know English? THE END ĐỀ 29 A.

Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more than 5000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago. A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin may add weight and texture. Where do these fibers come from ? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and reduces air and water pollution. 1. According to the passage, the paper that we use was first invented by_____.

(75) Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theaters, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as the United States, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses. In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles. It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the United States because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and do the same. You’ll feel more relaxed if you don’t look too different from everyone else. 56.

Most of the people who like films are only interested in the leading actor or actress when they enjoy a film. It seems to them that only the actors or actresses have made the film successful. They always pay attention to their appearance, performance, and fashion. There are many film viewers who have no awareness of the other people’s work to make a film.
