VII. Read the passage and choose the best answer:
Smallpox was the first widespread disease to be eliminated by human intervention. In May,

initiate a global campaign to eradicate smallpox. The goal was to eliminate the disease in one
decade. At the time, the disease posed a serious threat to people in more than thirty nations.
Because similar projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could
actually be eradicated but eleven years after the initial organization of the campaign no cases were
reported in the field.
The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations but also to isolate patients with
active smallpox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human
transmission. Rewards for reporting smallpox assisted in motivating removed from contact with
others and treated. At the same time, the entire village where the victim had lived was vaccinated.

VI. Read the passage and choose the best answer:
As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States,
researchers have become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that
trigger heart attacks. High-fat diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to
contribute to the high incidence of heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk
factors may be significantly longer and quite surprising.
Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher
percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure

on Monday than on any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to
heart attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning
phenomenon in the mid-1980s and have since discovered a number of possible causes. An
early-morning rise' in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart-stimulating
hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher
incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 AM.
In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk
factors. Statistics reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and
8
10 Bài kiểm tra tiếng anh cho học sinh THPT Nguyễn Quốc Hùng
males in the few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried
men are more at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is
thought to be linked in me way to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research
continues in the hope of further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered.

A. Risk factors in heart attacks B. Seasonal and temporal patterns of heart
attacks.
C. Cardiology in the 1980s D. Diet and stress as factors in heart attacks
67. In the firs paragraph, the word "potential" could best be replaced by which of the following?

following?
A. Involve B. Affect C. Cause D. Encounter
69. What do the second and third paragraphs of the passage mainly discuss?
A. The link between heart attacks and marriage. B. Unusual risk factors in heart attacks
C. Age a d gender factors in heart attacks D. Myth about lifestyles and heart attacks
70. The author uses the word "temporal" in the second paragraph to mean:
A. Affected by B. Of a certain date C. Expected D. Regularly
71. The phrase "susceptible to" in the second paragraph could best be replace by

VII. Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
Lead poisoning in children is a major health concern. Both low and high doses of lead
can have serious effects. Children exposed to high doses of lead often suffer permanent nerve
damage, mental retardation, blindness and even death. Low doses of lead can lead to mild
mental retardation, short attention spans, distractibility, poor academic performance, and
behavioral problems.
This is not a new concern. As early as 1904, lead poisoning in children was linked to
lead-based paint. Microscopic lead particles from paint are absorbed into the bloodstream
when the children ingest flakes of chipped paint, plaster or paint dust from sanding. Lead can
also enter the body through household dust, nail biting, thumb sucking, or chewing on toys
and other objects painted with lead-based paint. Although American paint companies today
must comply with strict regulations regarding the amount of lead used in their paint, this
source of lead poisoning is still the most common and most dangerous. Children living in older,
dilapidated houses are particularly at risk.

VII. Reading comprehension:
Surrealism was a movement in graphic art and literature that was founded in Paris, 1924
by Andre Breton. Inspired by another movement in art called Dadaism, the Surrealist movement
has been one of the most influential art movements in the twentieth century. It eventually had a
worldwide audience, flourishing notably in the United States during World War II. Surrealism
focused on the role of the unconscious in the creative process. In a nihilistic protest, it rejected all
aspects of Western culture. Surrealist writers, such as Aragon and Soupalt, believed in directly
transcribing onto paper anything their unconscious mind wished them to. They never altered or
revised what they wrote because that would have interfered with the purity of their creation.
Surrealist painters, a group that included such famous names as Miro, Dali, and Ernst, displayed
a wide variety of style and content. Though Breton was the founder of this movement, his strong
leadership style brought about dissent, which resulted in several of the painters officially breaking
away from the movement.

IV. Read the passage and choose the best answer:
Situated in the central mountains of Alaska, a peak named Denali rises 20,320 feet above

sea level. It is the highest peak in North America and the center of Denali National- Park.
One of America's greatest wilderness areas, the park has had limited access to visitors, but in
spite of this, tourism rose from 6,000 visitors in 1950 to over 546,000 visitors in 1990. The
increasing popularity of this park is prompting serious discussions about the future use of
Denali as well as how to preserve wilderness areas in general.
One important issue of land use arises when parts of the National Parks are owned by
individuals. In Denali, although most of the land in this vast tract of more than a million acres
is owned by the National Park Service, several thousand acres are still privately owned as
mining tracts. These mining tracts in Denali were once abundant sources of gold, but they
also were sources of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead that polluted rivers and streams.
Environmentalists were successful in getting the government to require mining companies to
submit statements showing the potential impact of a mining project before they now are
allowed to begin mining. Because of this requirement, many individuals closed their mines
and some sold their land to the National Park Service. Some land owners, however, are
wondering if it is better to sell their land to the government or keep it for possible future use.
Tourism in this previously remote area is bound to rise, as more roads are built to provide
17
10 Bài kiểm tra tiếng anh cho học sinh THPT Nguyễn Quốc Hùng
easier access to the park. This increase in the number of visitors creates a demand for hotels
and other real estate development. The economic implications of this are of interest to the
