Read the following passage and mark the letter 1, B, C, or D on your cursiver sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each ofthe questions from 16 to 55.
A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge fresh water lake, one of the world's
largest and deepest, lies hidden there, under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok. This huge body
of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state
beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick glacier
above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface.
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the
area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate
size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous
size of the lake: the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is
floating on the water of the lake.
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific
community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon
thousands of years unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected
organisms in more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting,
research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples
from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to
accomplish this.
Question 46: The word “hidden” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to…………
A. undrinkable B. untouched C. unexploitable D. undiscovered
Question 47: What is true of Lake Vostok'?
A. It is completely frozen. B. It is a saltwater lake.
C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice. D. It is heated by the sun.
Question 48: Which of the following is closest in meaning to "frigid" in paragraph 1?
A. Extremely cold. B. Easily broken. C. Quite harsh. D. Lukewarm.
Question 49: All ol the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it ……
A. was conducted by air B. made use of radio waves
C. could not determine the lake's exact size D. was controlled by a satellite

Question 50: It can he inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if………
A. there were no lake underneath B. the lake were not so big
C. Antarctica were not so cold D. radio waves were not used
Question 51: The word “microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. Pieces of dust B. Tiny bubbles C. Tiny organisms D. Rays of light
Question 52: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it………
A. can be studied using radio waves B. may contain uncontaminated microbes
C. may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D. has already been contaminated

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 56 to 65.
Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child's upbringing can give it the ability to do
outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person
is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed. The truth lies

somewhere between these two extremes.
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child's
ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities. As
one psychologist says, "To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel."
Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that
were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was based on
intelligence, and later influenced by the child's environment.
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of' the twins received a normal upbringing, and
performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible
opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the Same degree of intelligence as the other,
performed even better. This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the
environment, the more a child's intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between
intelligence and the socio-economic level of a child's family. In other words, it does not matter how poor or how
rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.
Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor
of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often
because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years' hard work and
training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining.
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
● Marry an intelligent person.
●Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
●Start a child's education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.
●Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who
wants to become an outstanding musician.
Question 56: The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires……….
A. an expensive education B. good musical instruments
C. parental support and encouragement D. wealthy and loving parents
Question 57: The word "others" used in the first paragraph refers to……….
A. "other people" B. "other scientists" C. "other children" D. "other geniuses"
Question 58: When scientists studied intelligence and ability found that……….

A. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement
B. intelligence and development, are irrelevant to ability
C. ability depends both on intelligence and on environment
D. different twins generally have different levels ability

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.
After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools
in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a
substantial increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in
their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration
(MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is
expected to continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that
many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on
Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level
management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the
humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, "Is an MBA
degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?" The second major factor has been
the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business
needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands.
Question 61: What is the main focus of this passage?
A. jobs on Wall Street
B. types of graduate degrees
C. changes in enrollment for MBA schools
D. how schools are changing to reflect the economy

A. 10 years B. 20 years C. 50 years D. 100 years
Question 63: The word "prosperity" could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. success B. surplus C. nurturing D. education
Question 64: Which of the following business schools has NOT shown a decrease in enrollment?
A. Princeton B. Harvard C. Stanford D. Yale

Question 65: The phrase "trend of" in the passage is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. reluctance of B. drawback to C. movement toward D. extraction from
Question 66: The word "seeking" as used in the passage could best be replaced by ________.
A. examining B. avoiding C. seizing D. pursuing
Question 67: Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?

A. lack of necessity for an MBA and an economic recession
B. low salary and foreign competition
C. fewer MBA schools and fewer entry-level jobs
D. declining population and economic prosperity
Question 69: The word "cutting" in the passage could best be replaced by which of the following?

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.

The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes
in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth
century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food
contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different
amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight
loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary

protein associated with certain foods.
The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called "the vitamin
period. " Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described. As
vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to
suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might
be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that point in time, medical schools started to become more interested
in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences. Much of the focus of this
education was on the recognition of deficiency symptoms. Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately
turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were
made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them.
In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin therapy began to fall into
disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular. It
was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and
were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the
virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related conditions. Expectations as to the success of
vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies
are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems
of under nutrition that lead to chronic health problems.

Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study
B. The history of food preferences from the nineteenth century to the present
C. The effects of vitamins on the human body
D. Nutritional practices of the nineteenth century
Question 72: It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following discoveries was made
during the first era in the history of nutrition?
A. Certain foods were found to be harmful to good health.
B. Vitamins were synthesized from foods.
C. Effective techniques of weight loss were determined.
D. Protein was recognized as an essential component of diet.

Question 73: The word "tempting" is closest in meaning to.
A. realistic B. necessary C. correct D. attractive
Question 74: It can be inferred from the passage that medical schools began to teach concepts of
nutrition in order to
A. encourage medical doctors to apply concepts of nutrition in the treatment of disease
B. support the creation of artificial vitamins
C. convince doctors to conduct experimental vitamin therapies on their patients
D. convince medical doctors to participate in research studies on nutrition
Question 75: The word "Reckless" is closest in meaning to?
A. recorded B. irresponsible C. informative D. urgent
Question 76: The word "them" refers 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 from 52 to 61

Though Edmund Halley was most famous because of his achievements as an astronomer, he was a
scientist of diverse interests and great skills. In addition to studying the skies, Halley was also deeply
interested in exploring the unknown depths of the oceans. One of his lesser-known accomplishments that
was quite remarkable was his design for a diving bell that facilitated exploration of the watery depth.
The diving bell that Halley design had a major advantage over the diving bells that were in use prior to
his. Earlier diving bells could only make use of the air contained within the bell itself, so divers had to
surface when the air inside the bell ran low. Halley’s bell was an improvement in that it allowed for an
additional supply of fresh air that enabled a crew of divers to remain underwater for several hours.
The diving contraption that Halley designed was in the shape of a bell that measured three feet across the
top and five feet across the bottom and could hold several divers comfortably; it was open at the bottom
so that divers could swim in and out at will. The bell was built of wood, which was first heavily tarred to
make it water repellent and was then covered with a half-ton sheet of lead to make bell sank to the bottom.

The air inside the bell was not the only source of air for divers to breath, and it was this improvement that
made Halley’s bell superior to its predecessors. In addition to the air already in the bell, air was also
supplied to the divers from a lead barrel that was lowered to the ocean floor close to the bell itself. Air
flowed through a leather pipe from the lead barrel on the ocean floor to the bell. The divers could breathe
the air from a position inside the bell, or he could move around outside the bell wearing a diving suit that
consisted of a lead bell-shaped helmet with a glass viewing window and a leather body suit with a leather
pipe carrying fresh air from the diving bell to the helmet.
Question 51: Which of the following best expresses the subject of this passage?
A. Halley’s different interests B. Halley’s invention of a contraption for diving
C. Halley’s work as an astronomer D. Halley’s experiences as a diver.
Question 52:Halley’s bell was better than its predecessors because it____
A. was bigger B. weighed less
C. could rise more quickly D. provided more air
Question 53:The expression ran low in the passage is closest in meaning to_____
A. had been replenished B. moved slowly
C. was almost exhausted D. sank to the bottom

A. could hold more than one diver B. was wider at the bottom than at the top
C. was completely enclosed D. was made of tarred wood

A. with great speed B. upside down C. as they want D. in the future

Read the passage and then choose the best answer for each following question.
Psychologists are interested in the reasons why some people like taking part in risky sports. When they
studied people who were learning to jump from a plane with a parachute, they found that parachutists’
bodies produced large amounts of two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline, just before they made
their jump.
These hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity. Adrenaline increases the heart rate and
provides more sugar for the muscles, while nor adrenaline does make us react more quickly. However,
nor adrenaline also stimulates apart of the brain which controls feelings of pleasure. Some psychologists
have concluded that it is a feeling of pleasure caused by this hormone which makes certain people want
to participate in dangerous sports.
Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part of the brain. According to some psychologists, the
brain tries to maintain a certain level of arousal. They believe that people who normally have a low level
of arousal look for excitement and new experiences in order to stimulate themselves, whereas people who
usually have a high level of arousal try to avoid risks and unfamiliar situations in order not to become
overexcited. If the psychologists are right, people with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating
in dangerous sports and activities.
It is thought that people with low levels of arousal have a slower-reacting nervous system than people
with higher arousal levels. It may therefore be possible to find out your level of arousal by testing your
nervous system. A quick way of doing this is to put some lemon juice on your tongue. If you produce a
lot of saliva, your nervous system has been affected by the lemon and so you probably have a high level
of arousal; if you produce little of saliva, you probably have a low arousal level. If you have a low level,
you might enjoy taking part in risky sports. However, this does not mean that you have to try parachuting!

One right enshrined in the Convention that makes the exercise of all the other human rights (71)

is the right to education. “Through education, starting from the early years, children not only learn
about their rights but also (72) the skills and attitudes to assert them,” says Qian Tang, UNESCO
Assistant Director-General for Education. “Ideally this takes place in a safe and stimulating (73)
and in a spirit of mutual respect and understanding.”
UNESCO has consistently promoted the right to quality education of every child, youth and adult. But
the world is still far from (74) the Education for All goals. Worldwide, 61 million children and
71 million adolescents are out of school. (75) 250 million children cannot read and count - even
after four years of school - and 796 million people still lack basic literacy skills.
A quality education helps (76) poverty and enables individual and collective empowerment,
social cohesion, peace and human development. A quality school (77) the rights of the child,
does not exclude, provides education that is free, compulsory and accessible, and sees (78) as an
opportunity, not a problem. An early childhood education of quality gives children an equal (79)
and allows them succeed in later stages of education. Children have the right to learn (80) the very
beginning.

Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
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 stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister 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 to reuse cups and utensils đ dng, dng c. 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 a 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
the 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 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.

B. buy simply-wrapped things
C. reuse cups
D. buy fewer hamburgers
65. Why is it a waste and customers buy low-quality products?

B. Because they have to be repaired many times.
C. Because customers change their ideas all the time.
D. Because they produce less energy.

Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng ( a hoặc b, c , d) cho mỗi câu từ 71 đến 80:
By the mid-nineteenth century, the term “icebox” had entered the American language, but ice
was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The ice trade grew
with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forward- looking
city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War ( 1860- 1865), as ice used to
refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New
York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families
for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a
precursor of the modern refrigerator, had been invented.

Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth
century, the knowledge of the physics of heat , which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was
rudimentary. The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from
melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling.
Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice blankets, which kept the ice from
doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance
of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.
But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right
track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of
Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to
market, hr found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to
pay a premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks. One advantage of his
icebox, more explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to
keep their produce cool.
71. What does t he passage mainly discuss?
a. The influence of ice on the diet
b. The development of refrigeration
c. The transportation of goods to market
d. Sources of ice in the nineteenth century.
72. According to the passage, when did the word “icebox” become part of the language of the United
States?
a. In 1803
b. Sometime before 1850
c. During the Civil War
d. Near the end of 19
th
century
