V: 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 following questions from 46 to 54.
"The economic history of the United States", one scholar has written, "is the history of the rise and
development of the capitalistic system". The colonists of the eighteenth century pushed forward what those of

the seventeenth century have begun: the expansion and elaboration of an economy born in the great age of
capitalist expansion.
Our excellent natural resources paved the way for the development of abundant capital to increase our
growth. Capital includes the tools – such as: machines, vehicles, and buildings – that makes the outputs of
labor and resources more valuable. But it also includes the funds necessary to buy those tools. If a society had
to consume everything it produced just to stay alive, nothing could be put aside to increase future productions.
But if a farmer can grow more corn than his family needs to eat, he can use the surplus as seed to increase the
next crop, or to feed workers who build tractors. This process of capital accumulation was aided in the
American economy by our cultural heritage. Saving played an important role in the European tradition. It
contributed to American’s motivation to put something aside today for the tools to buy tomorrow.
The great bulk of the accumulated wealth of America, as distinguished from what was consumed, was
derived either directly or indirectly from trade. Though some manufacturing existed, its role in the
accumulation of capital was negligible. A merchant class of opulent proportions was already visible in the
seaboard cities, its wealth as the obvious consequence of shrewd and resourceful management of the carrying
trade. Even the rich planters of tidewater Virginia and the rice coast of South Carolina finally depended for
their genteel way of life upon the ships and merchants who sold their tobacco and rice in the markets of
Europe. As colonial production rose and trade expanded, a business community emerged in the colonies,
linking the provinces by lines of trade and identity of interest.
Question 46: With what subject is this passage mainly concerned?
A. Geography B. Finance C. Economics D. Culture
Question 47: The phrase "paved the way" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A. paid for B. supported C. accumulated D. resembled

A. sent many tools to America B. taught their skills to their offspring
C. were accustomed to saving D. were good farmers
Question 49: The word "funds" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A. money B. resource C. labour D. capital
Question 50: According to the passage, which of the following would lead to accumulating capital?
A. Training workers who produce goods. B. Studying the culture history of the country
C. Consuming what is produced D. Planting more of a crop than what is needed

Question 51: The word "it" in the third sentence of paragraph 2 refers to____.
A. growth B. resource C. labour D. capital

II. TOPIC: Write to describe your all-time favorite movie.
In life, although I have several hobbies, watching movies is the one I am more interested in. I have
watched countless films so far, but BẾN KHÔNG CHỒNG, a product of VFC (Vietnam Film Corporation) in
2001, is the one that has created the biggest impression on me ever since.
The film is set in the time of our war against the American troops in the South to unify the country and
the construction to build a communist country in the North. The ground of the story is in a tranquil poor
farming village in the North. The main characters are Mr. Van, a veteran, a secretary of the village’s
Communist Youth Union named Hanh, the two widows and the villagers. The story happens right inside the
village to the bank of a no-name-river having a namely Khong Chong river five-step-wharf.
After serving in the army Van came back to his village in which there were only old villagers together
with almost widows, girls and very few disabled men. When Van returned, he was appointed head of the
village armed group which consisted of around six armed girls including Hanh – Van’s former sweetheart’s

daughter. Van lived under the same roof with a land-lord widow and her 16 year-old son. Van was then
admired by all the villagers, so he tried his best to meet the residents’ expectations. Though sometimes the
mid-forties man felt lonely, he tried not to do wrong thing especially on sex. Time passed, peace was then
established with the unification declaration, the village was still under the misery of the war unhappiness.
Hanh married to an Army captain, but had no child for long. Debates and conflicts occurred, which made
Hanh left her husband. So disappointed, and hopeless, she entered Van’s hut by a showery night. The two
thirsty unhappy persons met, and then Hanh was pregnant. Unable to live with the villagers’ prejudice, Van
and Hanh left the homeland, and finally Van killed himself by the river wharf Ben Khong Chong.
The scenes in the movie are colorful and interesting, typical for a North Vietnam’s rural village. The
story is touching and rather mournful. The acting of the main characters is excellent as they are all famous

actors and actresses. The film leaves us valuable lessons in life, and helps us know more about the rural life
courtesy. I must say that it is one of the best movies I have ever watched in my life.

Asian elephants used to live in the forests from Iraq to Southern China. Since these forests were cut
down to make room for farms and villages, the elephants had to live in small, hilly regions. These small areas
cannot supply enough food for them. An adult elephant eats about 331 pounds of grasses, leaves and other
plants each day. When forests were larger, Asian elephants migrated with the seasons. In this way, they found
new food supplies. The plants and trees could also grow again after elephants left.
Today, there is nowhere for the elephants to go. Experts say that the Asian elephant population is
about 55,000 living on a habitat of about 19,000 square miles (30,400 square kilometres). In contrast to this,
the African elephant population is about 10 times this size and live on almost 3 million square miles (4.8
million square kilometers) of available habitat.

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.
Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural
environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature's provision is the oldest known
subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last two million years. It was, indeed, the only way
to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were introduced about 10,000
years ago.
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers
have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arctic
wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life. Such
conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and waterways. The
abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater
opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet
and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies.
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from the
observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and
gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party
harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area has become

exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patterns
evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes. These patterns of
behavior may be similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.
Question 36. A typical feature of both modern and prehistoric hunter-gatherers is that ____________.
A. they don't have a healthy and balanced diet B. they live in the forests for all their life
C. they don't have a strong sense of community D. they often change their living places

II. TOPIC: Write about the changes that information technology brings to your life.
We are now living in the Era of the Information technology, and we feel happy to be supported by
modern technologies which make our lives more comfortable and convenient. For me, information technology
brings me so many positive changes though sometimes it does cause some troubles.
It is undeniable that information technology helps bring my family members closer together as we
always keep in touch with help of telephones, internet, and other conveniences. Beside, information
technology helps us stay in touch with the world around. Every day, we are well-informed by reading news,
watching videos, browsing websites. We can also learn much about the entire world from our own tables or
even beds. Information technology provides us more choices of how, where, when and what to do things.
Beneficially, we have more chances to earn because there are always numerous jobs available in the IT field
that helps us make money and shop. Moreover, information technology helps us to broaden our knowledge as
we can learn or take various online and offline courses. Socially, we seem to have more and more friends

both at home and overseas, we can also share opinions, date with the help of information technology.
On the other hand, modern technology can also make us more isolated when we are absorbed in
technological devices. We sometimes feel annoyed by bad and poisonous information, images, or websites.

We are also afraid of losing confidential documents and files. Seriously, spywares are now so popular that
they make us very much worried and we have to spend more to protect our technological products.
Good or bad, I really think I am lucky enough to live in this information age. I cannot imagine my life
without the help of information technology. The most important thing I need to do is to take full advantages of
the information technology to better my life and try hard to reduce the bad effects that may bring to my life.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 01 to 10.
The Fukushima I nuclear accidents are a series of ongoing equipment failures and releases of
radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, following the 9.0 magnitude Tōhoku
earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011. The plant comprises six separate boiling water reactors
maintained by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). This accident is the largest of the 2011 Japanese
nuclear accidents arising from the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and experts consider it to be the second
largest nuclear accident after the Chernobyl disaster, but more complex as all reactors are involved.
At the time of the quake, reactor 4 had been de-fueled while 5 and 6 were in cold shutdown for
planned maintenance. The remaining reactors shut down automatically after the earthquake, with emergency
generators starting up to run the control electronics and water pumps needed to cool reactors. The plant was
protected by a seawall designed to withstand a 5.7 metres (19 ft) tsunami but not the 14-metre (46 ft)
maximum wave which arrived 41–60 minutes after the earthquake. The entire plant was flooded, including

low-lying generators and electrical switchgear in reactor basements and external pumps for supplying cooling
seawater. The connection to the electrical grid was broken. All power for cooling was lost and reactors started
to overheat, due to natural decay of the fission products created before shutdown. The flooding and
earthquake damage hindered external assistance.
Evidence soon arose of partial core meltdown in reactors 1, 2, and 3; hydrogen explosions destroyed
the upper cladding of the buildings housing reactors 1, 3, and 4; an explosion damaged the containment inside
reactor 2; multiple fires broke out at reactor 4. Despite being initially shutdown, reactors 5 and 6 began to
overheat. Fuel rods stored in pools in each reactor building began to overheat as water levels in the pools
dropped. Fears of radiation leaks led to a 20-kilometre (12 mi) radius evacuation around the plant while
workers suffered radiation exposure and were temporarily evacuated at various times. One generator at unit 6
was restarted on 17 March allowing some cooling at units 5 and 6 which were least damaged. Grid power was
restored to parts of the plant on 20 March, but machinery for reactors 1 through 4, damaged by floods, fires
and explosions, remained inoperable. Flooding with radioactive water through the basements of units 1–4
continues to prevent access to carry out repairs.
Measurements taken by the Japanese science ministry and education ministry in areas of northern
Japan 30–50 km from the plant showed radioactive caesium levels high enough to cause concern. Food grown
in the area was banned from sale. It was suggested that worldwide measurements of iodine-131 and caesium-
137 indicate that the releases from Fukushima are of the same order of magnitude as the releases of those
isotopes from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986; Tokyo officials temporarily recommended that tap water should
not be used to prepare food for infants. Plutonium contamination has been detected in the soil at two sites in
the plant. Two workers hospitalized as a precaution on 25 March had been exposed to between 2000 and
6000 mSv of radiation at their ankles when standing in water in unit 3.

II. TOPIC: Write to discuss the opinion that women make better women than men.
Women for long are said to be more suited for being mothers and housewives. That means the natural
roles of women for many people are child-bearing and home-making only. That is why there exists the
opinion that women make better parents than men.
Naturally, many people agree that women have better intuitive intelligence than men. Women are
better at reading the children’s signals, so they can easily satisfy children’s needs. They also have better
emotional understanding of what the kids are going through. In addition, women have a closer bond with
their children. They create that during the nine months pregnancy and the early period of child rearing. It is
true that on average women spend more time than men on child rearing and care taking. Commonly, men

tend to be out to work a lot and they seem to spend little time with their children. Significantly, breeding
makes the relation between women and their children more close-knit.
On the contrary, there are many single fathers who can totally dedicate their lives to their children.
And, according to some researches, children of single mothers tend to have more chance of crime. It is also
true that no one come to parenthood and immediately knows everything. Learning and practicing can help
fathers perform as well as mothers. Moreover, men and women bring different benefits to their children.
People believe that fathers can teach their children better than mothers in many ways. Commonly, children
regard their fathers as more energetic, strong-willed, and ambitious whereas mothers as more kind-hearted,
sensitive, and emotional.
To sum up, there are different good things women and men can do for their children. It is obvious that parents
who love their children can do their tasks well, and both fathers and mothers give their children good things
to some extent. It will be lucky and far better for a child to be brought up by both good father and mother.
Parents should join hands to give their children good life and education.

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:
PREPARED BY M.A ĐỖ BÌNH – GV THPT LIỄN SƠN, LẬP THẠCH, VĨNH PHÚC – 4 Apr 2015
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 fro 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.

II. TOPIC: Write to suggest measures governments and individuals can take to reduce the global warming.
It was reported recently by the U.S scientists that the volume of ice on the North Pole is now the
smallest within 36 last years. That is caused by the global warming process. Various other bad things human
beings are now facing are also related to the warming of the Earth climate. The fact is that we are the main
agents who are responsible for the worsening of the nature. So, individuals and governments throughout the
world should co-operate to stop the natural environment worsening process.
Each individual first must be more aware of the need to protect our environment for not only our own
lives but also the next generations. The first easy thing one can do is to save the energy by using less heat and
air-conditioning, using energy-efficient products, or even driving less. Another way is to recycle paper,
plastic, newspaper, glass, etc. When the recycling is practiced, it helps to reduce the carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere. The other thing is to plant more trees because as we know, trees can absorb carbon dioxide and
give off oxygen. The fact is that the mission is not done by one or a group of persons so we should educate the
community and encourage everyone to join hands to recycle and conserve energy.

Countries all over the world, rich or poor, developed, developing or underdeveloped should co-
operate to better the situation. First of all, governments are better to inform their citizens about the global
warming facts and the mishaps that people may face if the process goes on. Then, in order to reduce the
emissions, governments should impose heavier taxes on the produce of greenhouse gas emissions. Factories
and companies that over-emit may not be allowed to operate or even be closed. Moreover, bigger sums of
money must be spent on researches discovering the alternative sources of energy. Additionally, stricter laws

on environmental problems should be passed and enforced to better the surroundings for people to live.
After all, the work to recover the environment and to stop the global warming process cannot be done
overnight or completed by one person or one nation, we, human beings all over the world, must co-act to
share the missions. Though this is the international millennium goals, each individual can do something now
to help to realize man’s purpose.

A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (36) between husband and wife. Young

couples will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work (37) hours or shifts in order that one
parent is always home with the children. Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple
trying to establish (38) and provide a secure environment for the family. Husband and wife may also
share household (39) Some fathers are just as capable as mothers at cooking dinner, changing and
bathing the baby, and doing the laundry.
In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family (40) and the father becomes the “househusband."
These cases are still fairly rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to be spending more time
with their children. In a recent survey, 41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their
mothers and fathers. “This is one of our most (41) cultural changes,” says Dr. Leon Hoffman, who co-
directs the Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society. In practice, for over 30 years,
Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care-
taking to general decision (42) around kids' lives.”
Another factor has recently been added to the childcare (43) The number of people who work from
home nearly full-time rose 23% from the last decade. The (44) of technology - computers, faxes,
teleconferencing - has made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch. Will this new flexibility in
the workforce bring a positive change for the (45) of children? Only time will tell.

Speed reading is not just a parlour trick you can use to impress your friends and family. For many, it's a
necessary tool for managing time and information in the fast-paced business world; and for many others,
specifically students, it's the only way to get through reading-heavy class loads.
The practiced speed reader can pick up a lengthy document or a thick stack of paper and use their skill to get
the meat of their subject by skimming for the most important details and information. Without developing the
ability to speed read, this time-saving technique is merely flipping through pages fast.

Speed reading, or increasing the rate at which you read text, is linked to increasing the rate at which you
understand what you’re reading. The key to successful speed reading is increasing your understanding of the
text as you increase the rate at which you read the words. This natural step takes training and practice, but
don’t be intimidated by the idea of a challenge. Once you've mastered it, it's a skill that will stick with you for
the rest of your life. With continued practice, common words and sentence structures became more familiar
and because your brain was tuned and ready, your eyes started taking in Wocks of wml* at a time. The
difference between average readers and speed readers is in the blocks of words their eyes take in at one time.
The larger the blocks, the faster your eyes move through the text.
Speed reading teaches you how to take your reading and your comprehension to the next level. The
techniques used in teaching speed reading focus on your individual abilities, namely
