Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more and more people in the
world. Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water. We live in a world of

farming, and manufacturing. Only about 3% of the world's water is fresh. Most of this water is not easily

available to man because it is locked in glaciers and icecaps. There is as much water on earth today as there
ever was or will ever be. Most of the water we use finds its way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the
sun. It then falls back to the earth as rain.

of fresh water, some regions have a water shortage. Rain does not fall evenly over the earth. Some regions

are always too dry, and others too wet. A region that usually gets enough rain may suddenly have a serious

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get as education.
Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction
between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended
and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place where, whether in the
shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes
place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a
reserved grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.

Whereas schooling has certain predictability, education quite often produce surprise. A change
conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is know of other religions.
People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It
is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school and one that should be an integral
part of one’s entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general
pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at
approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbook, do
homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learnt, whether they are the alphabet or
an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject
being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their class the
truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.
There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
Question 76: What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their
education to go to school”? A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.
B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.
C. Summer school makes the school year too long. D. All of life is an education.
Question 77: the word “bounds” is closest in meaning to____.
A. rules B. experiences C. limits D. expectation
Question 78: the word “they” refers to
A. slices of reality B. similar textbooks C. boundaries D. seats
Question 79: The passage supports which of the following conclusions?

A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant B. Education systems need to be radically
reformed.
C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.

Question 80: The passage is organized by_____.

words

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer
to each of the questions.
The development of advanced radio telescopes has allowed astronomers to attempt to answer a
question that has long intrigued scientists, philosophers, and laypersons alike: Do other forms of intelligent
life exist elsewhere in the universe? Although the legends of many ancient cultures hold that divine beings
created the heavens and controlled such cosmic events as eclipses, the idea that other planets harbor life
similar in development and intelligence to our own did not become popular until the nineteenth century,
when a few scientists considered ways in which earthlings might contact other beings. One plan envisioned
the building of huge canals in the desert in the shape of easily recognizable geometric symbols; when filled
with gasoline and ignited, the canals would signal the presence of life on Earth to neighboring worlds. Since
then, many astronomers have become seriously interested in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or
SETI. They assume that alien beings elsewhere in the galaxy will probably try to contact earthlings, using
flashes of light to carry their messages. In 1960 one astronomer performed one of the first serious searches
for extraterrestrial life, called Project Ozma. The astronomer turned a sensitive radio telescope in the
direction of nearby stars Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani but found no transmissions that might be beacons
from extraterrestrial civilizations. Since Project Ozma, about four dozen other searches have been
conducted. No one has yet received an unambiguous signal from an extraterrestrial civilization, and
numerous false alarms have been caused by interference from radio-wave sources here on Earth.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, has also been involved in SETI and sought
funding from the United States Congress to build a complete receiver and to undertake a ten-year search
program. One half of this search plan calls for using radio telescopes in its Deep-Space Network to
repeatedly scan the entire sky. The other half involves using its 1,000-foot telescope to listen to nearby stars
similar to the Sun that may have Earthlike planets orbiting around them. Although scientists realize their
survey will be far from complete, they believe the search must begin with small efforts. Said one scientist:
"We're new at this business, and when you walk into a dark, unfamiliar forest, you should probably listen
before you shout."
Question 36 What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Planets harboring extraterrestrial life B. Types of extraterrestrial civilizations
C. Developments in NASA's Deep-Space Network D. The search for extraterrestrial

intelligence
Question 37 The word envisioned in the passage is closest in meaning to_____.
A. interfered with B. conceived of C. authorized D. facilitated
Question 38 According to the passage, which of the following ideas first became popular in the nineteenth
century?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer
to each of the questions.
The word robot first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a man makes a
machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In the 1940s, the
American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the term
robotics, the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were developed by an engineer,
Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they started Unimation, a
manufacturing company that produces the first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate. Robots of this type
were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success. They worked reliably and
saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well.
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction
films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply pieces of computer-
controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands”. Since they were made of metal, they could perform
certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat. And since
robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be
tiring or boring for humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in
many factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the same time
other jobs have been created in the design, development, and production of the robots.
[1]  Outside of industry, robots have also been developed and put to use by governments and scientists in
situations where humans might be in danger. For example, they can be sent in to investigate an unexploded
bomb or an accident at a nuclear power plant. [2] In space exploration, robots have performed many key
tasks where humans could not be present, such as on the surface of Mars. [3] In 2004, two robotic Rovers-
small six-wheeled computerized cars were sent to Mars. [4]

A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago
and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes. The first fact is that
burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This is
much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if
it is worth the bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid
leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a
radio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or
computer is enough to tempt any burglar.

Phần 2 (từ đề 60  đề 120)
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the
doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the intruder.
It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area
be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from approaching your house by

fitting security lights to the outside of your house.
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has
decided to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs
windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the
drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter
how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get
through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.
What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should
have top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a
burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defense against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the
trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and,
particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure. When
you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask
to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an
intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to telephone the police and
wait for help.

A. will tell a burglar if your house is empty or not. C. will stop a potential burglar.
B. are the most important precautions to take to make your home safe.
D. will not stop an intruder if he has decided to try and enter your home.

Phần 2 (từ đề 60  đề 120)
how they should go about setting up their own website. I’ve been asked about so many subjects anything
from someone wanting to teach people how to throw boomerangs to another people selling paper flowers
which they make at home in their spare time.
Obviously with all the thousands of websites available at the click of a button, you want to create an
impression with your website so that it becomes a must-see destination. Not everyone is prepared, however,

for the way in which a website can become so popular that it actually has to be closed down.
When people first set up their websites they probably pay their web advertiser a monthly fee based
on the number of hits or page impressions their site receives. If they can pay their monthly fee without it
costing them too much, that is the best that most people hope for. One guy, Pete Bennett, whom I helped,
wanted to set up a one-stop shop to provide decent images of the world’s flags. He’d been fascinated by
flags since his boyhood and had no idea that thousands of other people share his passion. Anyway, in one
month his web page had over 1.5 million hits. As a result his internet provider trebled the fee that he was
being charged. He wasn’t a rich person and he couldn’t afford to spend that amount of money on a hobby
without any benefit to him, so he decided to carry advertising on his site. He found a company which
specializes in smaller sites and adverts were added to the pages on his website. So, although he doesn’t
make a huge profit, at least his hobby provides him with a small income.
If you have specialist skills or expertise, it can pay you to sell the products that people want. I
helped one woman design a page to advertise the fact that she tells fortunes, based on the information that
her clients supply her with. If you want her to tell your fortune, you fill in a questionnaire online your age,
date of birth, hobbies, interests and so on and for a small fee she e-mails you back your fortune. You can
print it out and it looks really good, decorated with moons and stars, your zodiac sign and your birthstone. I
tried it myself and although I’m not sure I believe it, my future according to her is positive and exciting. I
also found out that for someone born in August, like me, the birthstone is a peridot, a pale green stone
which I’d never even heard of!
I also get a fair number of complaints from people e-mailing me to say that they can’t access the
website. When they click on the site a message appears on their screen saying ‘An error has occurred in the
script on this page’. This usually happens when someone has tried to achieve fancy effects on their website
by using programming techniques based on a scripting language. This means that unless they really know
what they are doing, whoever designed the site has probably made a mistake in their programming. This is
where people like me come in. Most computer instruction guides make things appear quite straightforward,
but unless you’re very skilled, you’re likely to run into problems. It’s generally worth getting a professional
to help you set up your site in the first place otherwise people like me would be out of work. And let’s
face it, this is big business.

Thời gian làm bài: 90 phút
Reading 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 1 to 10:
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frame of an object, each slightly
different than the proceeding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw
the different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer
will produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-
assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequences of
pictures. These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that defines the objects in the pictures
as they exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information.
Highly trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees

of realism involves computer techniques from three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures.
High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special
color terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a
single frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen.
A camera can be used to film directly from the computer’s display screen, but for the highest quality
images possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computers the positions and colors for the
figures in the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes,
however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process
is completed, it is replaced for the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the
film must be developed before the animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the
motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive
and time- consuming. Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-
generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution,
realistic-looking images.

Reading 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 question 71 to 80:
Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future
ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are
cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing.
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions
entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior:
Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The
orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun’s position in the sky, and the
speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to
perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when
experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from
the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When
the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food.
No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have
inferred the location of the new site.
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter
who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as
rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how
to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing
chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips.
Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher
total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label
quantities of items and do simple sums.
Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Observations that suggest consciousness in
animal behavior.
B. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. C. The role of instinct in animal behavior.

D. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory
experiments.
Question 72: Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?
A. Communicating emotions B. Remembering past experiences
C. Selecting among choices D. Anticipating events to come
Question 73: What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site?
A. To determine the quality of food at a site B. To increase the speed of travel to food sources
C. To identify the type of nectar that is available D. To communicate the location of food
Question 74: The word “yet” is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. however B. generally C. since D. so far
Question 75: What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2?
A. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought.
B. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food.
C. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity.
