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 36 to 45.
In early civilization, citizens were educated informally, usually within the family

unit. Education meant simply learning to live. As civilization became more
complex, however, education became more formal, structured, and comprehensive.
Initial efforts of the ancient Chinese and Greek societies concentrated solely on the
education of males. The post-Babylonian Jews and Plato were exceptions to this
pattern. Plato was apparently the first significant advocate of the equality of the
sexes. Women, in his ideal state, would have the same rights and duties and the
Pham Trung Kien- Faculty of English-Hanoi Open University

same educational opportunities as men. This aspect of Platonic philosophy,
however, had little or no effect on education for many centuries, and the concept of
a liberal education for men only, which had been espoused by Aristotle, prevailed.
In ancient Rome, the availability of an education was gradually extended to
women, but they were taught separately from men. The early Christians and
medieval Europeans continued this trend, and single-sex schools for the privileged
through classes prevailed through the Reformation period. Gradually, however,
education for women, in a separate but equal basis to that provided for men, was
becoming a clear responsibility of society. Martin Luther appealed for civil support
of schools for all children. Al the Council of Trent in the 16
th
century, the Roman
Catholic Church encouraged the establishment of free primary schools for children
of all classes. The concept of universal primary education, regardless of sex, had
been born, but it was still in the realm of the single-sex school
In the late 19
th
and early 20
th
centuries, co-education became a more widely

applied principle of educational philosophy. In Britain, Germany, and the Soviet
Union the education of boys and girls in the same classes became an accepted
practice. Since World War II, Japan and the Scandinavian countries have also
adopted relatively universal co-educational systems. The greatest negative reaction
to co-education has been felt in the teaching systems of the Latin countries, where
the sexes have usually been separated at both primary and secondary levels,
according to local conditions.
A number of studies have indicated that girls seem to perform better overall and in
science in particular. In single-sex classes, during the adolescent years, pressure to
conform to stereotypical female gender roles may disadvantage girls in
traditionally male subjects, making them reluctant to volunteer for experimental
work while taking part in lessons. In Britain, academic league tables point to high
standards achieved in girls’ schools. Some educationalists, therefore, suggest
segregation of the sexes as a good thing, particularly in certain areas, and a
number of schools are experimenting with the idea.

*Passage 1:
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage
of clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain,
industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable.
Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake
Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of
animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in
the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial
wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the
government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply
ignores the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water
surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16
countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean
water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by
pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to
respect this precious source. We should do something now.

A. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants
B. It is polluted by massive volumes of industrial wastes discharged into it.
C. It has 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world.
D. The government did not have the power to enforce laws and regulations.
59. How many countries throw industrial wastes into the Mediterranean Sea
regularly ?
A. exactly 16 B. exactly 15 C. nearly 16 D. less than 15
60. What is the message to the readers ?
A. We should take action to protect our water resources.
B. We should take all water resources into account
C. We should limit the use of water resources.
D. We should encourage people to use safe water.
*Passage 2
The problem of the use of our natural resources may be divided into four parts.
These deal with trees, soil, water and minerals. In a sense, the first three are closely
related, for water is a great destroyer of soil, and trees are its great protectors.
Trees need both soil and water to grow. And water, to be of any real use, needs to
be kept by soil and trees. Minerals are apart. They exist where they are because of
the changing physical nature of the earth. Man has no control over the creation of
the minerals, and once a particular supply has been used up, it is gone forever.
Conservation programmes have been instituted by most governments to prevent
these four essentials from reckless waste and to start the long process of repairing
earlier damage to forests, soil and water supply.

ĐỀ THI THỬ SỐ 2


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.
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North
America and Europe, recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing
it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means
finding was to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is
“ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”.
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stories, a shopper has to buy products in
blisters packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast
food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and a bag. All that
packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped
simply, and reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them
away and buy new ones- a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if
a customer buys high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the
manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer
chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message
to manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable

bottles. After customers empty the bottles, they can return them to the store. The
manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again.
The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the
world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the
garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can
be cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the
same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set
for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they
help save one of the world’s precious resources.

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.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system
was desperately in need of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very
rich. There were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that
children who would grow up to be laborers should not “waste” their time on
education but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s work. It was in the
face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task.
Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no
excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Superintendent of
Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various
changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country. He
extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of
teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although
these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system,
they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening
of the system.
