A desert is a hot, dry, sandy place. A desert is also a beautiful land of silence and space. The sun
shines, the wind blows, and time and space seem endless. Nothing is soft. The sand and the rocks are
hard, and many of the plants, such as the cactus, have hard needles instead of leaves. The size and
location of the world's deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and
mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last 100 years, deserts have been growing
at a frightening speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but the greatest desert makers are
humans. In the 19
th
century some people living in English colonies in Australia got rabbits from England.
Today there are millions of rabbits in Australia, and they eat every plant they can find. The great desert
that covers the centre of Australia is growing. Farming first began in the Tigris-Euphrates, but today the
land there is a desert. In dry areas, people can plant crops on dry and poor land. When there are one or
two very dry years, the plants die, and the land becomes desert. In developing countries, 90 percent of the
people use wood for cooking and heat. They cut down trees for firewood. But trees are important. They

cool the land under them and keep the sun off smaller plants. When leaves fall from a tree, they make the
land richer. When the trees are gone, the smaller plants die, and the land becomes desert. Humans can
make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth. Algeria planted a green wall of trees across the
edge of the Sahara to stop the desert sand from spreading. Mauritania planted a similar wall around its
capital. Iran puts a thin covering of petroleum on sandy areas and plant trees. Other countries build long
canals to bring water to the desert areas.
36.What central theme does the passage examine?
a.It examines trees and plants, where they grow in the deserts
b.It examines rabbits, how they live and what they eat.
c.It examines deserts, what they are and how they are formed
d.It examines some countries, how their plans to stop deserts
37.In the desert, everything is ___________.
a.endless b. hard c. hot d. beautiful
38.________ cause the change in the size and location of the world’s deserts.
a. the sand and rocks b. the sun and the wind c. the nature and humans d. millions of rabbits.
39.What did some people living in English colonies get from England to Australia?
a. cactus b. needles c. plants and trees d. rabbits
40.In what way do rabbits contribute to the growing of deserts in Australia?
a. by eating every plant they can find b. by planting a green wall of trees
c. by planting a similar wall around its capital d. by building long canals to bring water to the

Question IV. Đọc đoạn văn sau và khoanh tròn đáp án đúng. Chọn a, b, c hoặc d.
We know that every year less than 100 people are attacked by sharks and about 5 to 10 of these
people die. But, let’s look at the other side of the story - How many sharks do people kill? Well I think
you already know this: People kill many more sharks. Every year, people hunt and kill thousands of
sharks. One reason people kill sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun. Some people started to have
contests to see who kill the most sharks or the biggest sharks. Another reason that people kill sharks is for
food. In some countries, such as the United States and Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food. In
other countries, such as China, people use shark fins to make soup. Because so many people like to eat
shark, fishing boats catch a lot of sharks to sell for food.
So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some biologists are getting worried
that the number of sharks is getting too small. That’s why many biologists think we should stop killing so
many sharks, and instead try to protect them - or else some day they may all be gone. Some countries
have already passed some laws to help protect sharks. The United States, for example, has passed laws
that limit the number of sharks that people can kill for food or for sport. So even though some people like
to hunt sharks, we do need to protect them.
26. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year?
a. one hundred b. many c. thousands d. five to ten
27. People want to kill sharks because _____.
a. they are afraid of sharks. b. shark meat is a popular food.

c. they get their enjoyment from killing sharks. d. b and c are correct.
28. The number of sharks in the world is _____.
a. getting worried by some biologists b. being killed. c. getting bigger d. betting smaller
29. Why do biologists want to protect sharks?
a. B they want to learn more about sharks. b. B. they are afraid some day sharks may no longer exist.
c. Because of the number of sharks that were killed. d. Because shark fins can be used in medicine.
30. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
a. People like to hunt sharks. b. People are killing many sharks for some reasons.
c. The governments prohibited people from killing sharks. d Laws have been passed in sharks’ defense.
