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.
Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a
substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example,
rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to
suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance.
After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an
allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show
up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes,
hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies
are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will
not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months.
Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine,
phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are
chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured
meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people have been successful in treating
their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive
may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their

diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by
Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book “Why your Child is Hyperactive”. Other researchers have had
mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective.
Câu 9: The topic of this passage is _______________.
A. reactions to foods B. food and nutrition C. infants and allergies D. a good diet
Câu 10: According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due to ___________.
A. the vast number of different foods we eat
B. lack of a proper treatment plan
C. the similarity of symptoms of the allergy to other problems

Câu 11: The word "symptoms" is closest in meaning to ___________.

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.
Iron production was revolutionized in the early eighteenth century when coke was first used instead of
charcoal for refining iron ore. Previously the poor quality of the iron had restricted its use in architecture to
items such as chains and tie bars for supporting arches, vaults, and walls. With the improvement in refining
ore, it was now possible to make cast-iron beams, columns, and girders. During the nineteenth century
further advances were made, notably Bessemer's process for converting iron into steel, which made the
material more commercially viable.
Iron was rapidly adopted for the construction of bridges, because its strength was far greater than that of
stone or timber, but its use in the architecture of buildings developed more slowly. By 1800 a complete
internal iron skeleton for buildings had been developed in industrial architecture replacing traditional timber
beams, but it generally remained concealed. Apart from its low cost, the appeal of iron as a building material
lay in its strength, its resistance to fire, and its potential to span vast areas. As a result, iron became
increasingly popular as a structural material for more traditional styles of architecture during the nineteenth
century, but it was invariably concealed.
Significantly, the use of exposed iron occurred mainly in the new building types spawned by the
Industrial Revolution: in factories, warehouses, commercial offices, exhibition hall, and railroad stations,
where its practical advantages far outweighed its lack of status. Designers of the railroad stations of the new
age explored the potential of iron, covering huge areas with spans that surpassed the great vaults of medieval
churches and cathedrals. Paxton's Crystal Palace, designed to house the Great Exhibition of 1851, covered an
area of 1.848 feet by 408 feet in prefabricated units of glass set in iron frames. The Paris Exhibition of 1889
included both the widest span and the greatest height achieved so far with the Halle Des Machines, spanning

362 feet, and the Eiffel Tower 1,000 feet high. However, these achievements were mocked by the artistic
elite of Paris as expensive and ugly follies. Iron, despite its structural advantages, had little aesthetic status.
The use of an exposed iron structure in the more traditional styles of architecture was slower to develop.
Câu 53: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Advances in iron processing in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
B. The effects of the Industrial Revolution on traditional architectural styles
C. Advantages of stone and timber over steel as a building material
D. The evolution of the use of iron in architecture during the 1800's
Câu 54: The word "revolutionized" is closest in meaning to _______.
A. quickly started B. gradually opened C. dramatically changed D. carefully examined
Câu 55: According to the passage, iron was NOT used for beams, columns, and girders prior to the early
eighteenth century because _______.
A. all available iron was needed for other purposes
B. limited mining capability made iron too expensive
C. iron was considered too valuable for use in public buildings
D. the use of charcoal for refining ore produced poor quality iron
Câu 56: Iron replaced stone and timber in the building of bridges because iron was considered ______.
A. more beautiful B. new and modern C. much stronger D. easier to transport
Câu 57: The word "it" refers to _________.
A. industrial architecture B. internal iron skeleton C. stone D. strength
Câu 58: The word "surpassed" is closest in meaning to _______.
A. imitated B. exceeded C. approached D. included
Câu 59: According to paragraph 3, the architectural significance of the Halle Des Machines was its _______.
A. wide span B. great height
C. unequaled beauty D. prefabricated unites of glass
Câu 60: How did the artistic elite mentioned in the passage react to the buildings at the Paris Exhibition?
A. They tried to copy them. B. They ridiculed them.
C. They praised them. D. They refused to pay to see them.
Câu 61: It can be inferred that the delayed use of exposed iron structures in traditional styles of architecture
is best explained by the _______.

A. impracticality of using iron for small, noncommercial buildings
B. association of iron architecture with the problems of the Industrial Revolution
C. general belief that iron offered less resistance to fire and harsh weather than traditional materials
D. general perception that iron structures were not aesthetically pleasing
Câu 62: The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses _______
A. the gradual inclusion of exposed iron in traditional styles of architecture
B. further improvements in iron processing methods
C. the return to traditional building materials for use in commercial structures
D. the decreased use of stone and timber as a building material

Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a
substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example,
rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to
suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance.
After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an
allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show
up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes,
hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies
are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will
not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months.
Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine,
phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are

chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured
meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people have been successful in treating

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.
Iron production was revolutionized in the early eighteenth century when coke was first used instead of
charcoal for refining iron ore. Previously the poor quality of the iron had restricted its use in architecture to
items such as chains and tie bars for supporting arches, vaults, and walls. With the improvement in refining
ore, it was now possible to make cast-iron beams, columns, and girders. During the nineteenth century
further advances were made, notably Bessemer's process for converting iron into steel, which made the
material more commercially viable.
Iron was rapidly adopted for the construction of bridges, because its strength was far greater than that of
stone or timber, but its use in the architecture of buildings developed more slowly. By 1800 a complete
internal iron skeleton for buildings had been developed in industrial architecture replacing traditional timber
beams, but it generally remained concealed. Apart from its low cost, the appeal of iron as a building material
lay in its strength, its resistance to fire, and its potential to span vast areas. As a result, iron became
increasingly popular as a structural material for more traditional styles of architecture during the nineteenth
century, but it was invariably concealed.
Significantly, the use of exposed iron occurred mainly in the new building types spawned by the
Industrial Revolution: in factories, warehouses, commercial offices, exhibition hall, and railroad stations,
where its practical advantages far outweighed its lack of status. Designers of the railroad stations of the new
age explored the potential of iron, covering huge areas with spans that surpassed the great vaults of medieval
churches and cathedrals. Paxton's Crystal Palace, designed to house the Great Exhibition of 1851, covered an
area of 1.848 feet by 408 feet in prefabricated units of glass set in iron frames. The Paris Exhibition of 1889
included both the widest span and the greatest height achieved so far with the Halle Des Machines, spanning

362 feet, and the Eiffel Tower 1,000 feet high. However, these achievements were mocked by the artistic
elite of Paris as expensive and ugly follies. Iron, despite its structural advantages, had little aesthetic status.
The use of an exposed iron structure in the more traditional styles of architecture was slower to develop.
Câu 55: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The effects of the Industrial Revolution on traditional architectural styles
B. Advantages of stone and timber over steel as a building material
C. The evolution of the use of iron in architecture during the 1800's
D. Advances in iron processing in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
Câu 56: The word "revolutionized" is closest in meaning to _______.
A. gradually opened B. quickly started C. dramatically changed D. carefully examined
Câu 57: According to the passage, iron was NOT used for beams, columns, and girders prior to the early
eighteenth century because _______.
A. the use of charcoal for refining ore produced poor quality iron
B. limited mining capability made iron too expensive
C. all available iron was needed for other purposes
D. iron was considered too valuable for use in public buildings
Câu 58: Iron replaced stone and timber in the building of bridges because iron was considered ______.
A. much stronger B. easier to transport C. new and modern D. more beautiful
Câu 59: The word "it" refers to _________.
A. strength B. industrial architecture C. internal iron skeleton D. stone
Câu 60: The word "surpassed" is closest in meaning to _______.
A. approached B. imitated C. included D. exceeded
Câu 61: According to paragraph 3, the architectural significance of the Halle Des Machines was its _______.
A. great height B. unequaled beauty C. prefabricated unites of glass D. wide span
Câu 62: How did the artistic elite mentioned in the passage react to the buildings at the Paris Exhibition?
A. They ridiculed them. B. They refused to pay to see them.
C. They praised them. D. They tried to copy them.
Câu 63: It can be inferred that the delayed use of exposed iron structures in traditional styles of architecture
is best explained by the _______.
A. impracticality of using iron for small, noncommercial buildings

B. general belief that iron offered less resistance to fire and harsh weather than traditional materials
C. general perception that iron structures were not aesthetically pleasing
D. association of iron architecture with the problems of the Industrial Revolution
Câu 64: The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses _______
A. the gradual inclusion of exposed iron in traditional styles of architecture
B. the return to traditional building materials for use in commercial structures
C. further improvements in iron processing methods
D. the decreased use of stone and timber as a building material

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.
Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a
substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example,
rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to
suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance.
After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an
allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show
up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes,
hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies
are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will
not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months.
Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine,
phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are
chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured
meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people have been successful in treating
their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive
may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their
diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by
Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book “Why your Child is Hyperactive”. Other researchers have had
mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective.

Câu 36: According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due to ___________.

A. the vast number of different foods we eat
B. the similarity of symptoms of the allergy to other problems
