ĐỀ 1
I. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer
I like to be near water – sea, lake or river. That I probably because I was born in a village by the sea,
and I have lived most of my life close to water. When I am in some place which is far from lake, river and
sea, I am restless and I always feel that there is something missing, even though it is sometimes hard for me
to decide what it is.
Of course, the sports I like are the ones which need water – sailing, rowing and swimming. It is
possible to swim in small swimming pools, but rowing and sailing are impossible without a lot of water.
Rowing is best in a river and sailing on the sea or a big lake, but one can do some sailing on a river and one
can certainly row on a lake or the sea when the weather is good.
Of the three sports – swimming, rowing and sailing – I like rowing best because it is the easiest to
continue during the winter, when the water is too cold for comfortable swimming and the sea is often too
rough for sailing. Even on the coldest day one row, only ice on the water or thick fog can stop one.
Sometimes it is so cold when I go out rowing that drop of water freeze wherever they fall. In such weather,
it is not very pleasant to swim as one cannot stay in the water very long. However, when is rowing, one gets
warmer the longer one goes on.
1. How does the writer feel when he is in some place which is not near the water?
A. Comfortable B. Convenient C. Losing something D. Missing something
2. What type of sport does he like?
A. Water sports B. Sports without water
C. Sports played only on the sea D. Sports played near lakes and river
3. Why does he like rowing best?
A. Because it makes him warmer. B. Because he can still play it in cold days
C. Because it makes him stronger. D. Because it is easier to play.
4. What sometimes happens when he goes out rowing in very cold weather?
A. Water drops B. Water is too cold
C. Drops of water freeze in the places they fall D. Drops of water fall
5. Why is it unpleasant to swim in cold weather?
A. One can only stay in the water for a short time .

B. One stays in the weather for a long time.
C. The water becomes icy.
D. The water gets warmer.
