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 questions from 31 to 35.

British society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classes — the upper class,
the middle class, and the lower or working class. This is known as the class system and it is
important to know something about it, if you mean to understand British people and society.
Most British people grow up with a deep knowledge and understanding of the class system
even if they are not very conscious of it. As a result, more people know which class they belong
to and are able to tell which class other people come from by the way they speak, the kind of
clothes they wear, their interests and hobbies or even the type of food they eat.
Social class is not only about behavior and attitudes. For example, although many upper-class
people are rich and may own a lot of land, having a lot of money does not necessarily make a
person one member of the upper class. It is also important to come from a particular kind of
family, have friends who are considered suitable, have been a certain type of private school and
speak with the right kind of accent. There are people who are poor but they do not think of
themselves as working class because their family background, education, political opinions, etc
are basically different from those of most working- class people. Many people do not like the
class system but it is impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British
people do not sometimes form opinions in this way.

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 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. 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 36: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Where rainforest are located.
B. Kinds of forests.
C. Facts about rainforests.
D. How much oxygen rainforests make.
Question 37: According to the passage, rainforests provide human all of the following
EXCEPT?

C. Drugs used to fight and cure cancer.

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 questions.
1. Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree or
diploma course could find a good career quite easily. Companies toured the academic
institutions, competing with each other to recruit graduates. However, those days are gone,
even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for
jobs.
2. Most careers organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of
securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available vacancies and
presenting them well to prospective employers.
3. Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of
assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within
their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or
the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring
for others. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative or
scientific skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thought.
4. The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about
how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. To do this, graduates
can study job vacancies and information in newspapers or they can visit a careers office, write
to possible employers for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be
Trang | 11


Vững vàng nền tảng, Khai sáng tương lai

involved in a particular profession. After studying all the various options, they should be ina
position to make informed comparisons between various careers.

5. Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application

forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or

spelling errors. Where additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their
abilities and work experience in more depth, with examples if possible. They should try to
balance their own abilities with the employer’s needs, explain why they are interested in a
career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the
company and its activities.
6. When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding
out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview
on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful
answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This
is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.
7. There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and
determination; the secret to securing a good job is to be one of them.
Question 43: In paragraph 1, ‘those days are gone, even in Hong Kong’, suggests that

A. nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good career.
past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere.

inthe

B. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere.it used to be
harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries.
C. it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries.

D. even in Hong Kong companies tour the universities trying to recruit graduates.
Question 44: In the paragraph 2, “them” refers to
A. abilities.
B. available vacancies.
C. three stages
D. careers organizations.
Question 45: According to paragraph 4, graduates should
A. get information about a number of careers before making comparisons
B. find a good position and then compare it with other careers.
C. ask friends or relatives to secure them a good job.
D. find out as much as possible and inform employers of the comparisons they want.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also.
They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears.
In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and

dislikes.

Ifa man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar
with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same
roots. In the case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated
and requires much more patience and understanding from both spouses. On one hand each of
the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture,
traditions and life styles which can be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very
disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's excitements and frustrations.
For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or
other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with. Maybe this artist was an idol for
your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house when you were a child.
Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because she has

no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never even heard the
song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation
with you. You do not know her country’s songs, her country’s famous actors, her books. She
has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for
you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody can understand you. She lives in
completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife’s country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her, ask
her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her.
