Read the passages and circle the best option A, B, C, or D to complete the following questions or
statements:
A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog,
a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining
speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle
of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls
helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of
sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set
sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off
objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can
determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from
the term “radio detection and ranging”. “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object
and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control,
tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.

II. Topic: What would you like to change about your hometown?
If I could change one important thing about my hometown, it would be air pollution problem, and I
will give the following reasons to explain why I want to solve the problem.
The first and most important reason is that I hope that my hometown can become a beautiful city. As
an old industrial city, my hometown has made a great deal of contribution for the country’s economic

development. At a result, the natural environment of the city has been badly damaged. The forest has
disappeared; the mountains have become bald, and the most awful thing is that the air quality becomes worse
and worse. People seldom see the blue sky during most time of year.
Another reason why I want to change my hometown’s air pollution situation is that the city’s
development needs clean and tidy environment to attract investors. Nowadays people have come to know that
the city’s environment, which is so called “software facility of the city”, plays an important role in the city’s
future. For example, due to the fact that the environment of the city is very poor, many local students who
pursue their study out of the city would rather find themselves a job in other cities than coming back to their
hometown after they graduated.
In addition, nowadays people have paid more and more attention to their health. If air pollution
problem cannot be solved as quickly as possible, people’s requirement for a healthy body will never be
realized.
In my mind, changing air pollution will apparently be my first choice if I can change one important
thing about my hometown. Fortunately people in my hometown are gradually aware of the serious problem.

Bình – Lien Son High School, Lap Thach, Vinh Phuc –


Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future
will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already
been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol,
steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable
source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday
life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and

trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing
on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to
be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be
equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To
encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for
electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers
that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit
their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips,
which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that
can be carried by freeway today.
Câu 41: The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT____.
A. vans
B. trains
C. planes
D. trolleys
Câu 42: The author’s purpose in the passage is to____.
A. criticize conventional vehicles
B. support the invention of electric cars
C. narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles
D. describe the possibilities for
transportation in the future
Câu 43: The passage would most likely be followed by details about____.
A. automated freeways
B. pollution restrictions in the
future
C. the neighborhood of the future
D. electric shuttle buses
Câu 44: The word “compact” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to____.

A. long-range
B. inexpensive

A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot
must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of
approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is
exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person
determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio

waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of
radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it
takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set
and other objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”.
“Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical
importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather
systems and storms.
Câu 51: What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The nature of radar. B. History of radar.
C. Alternatives to radar.
D.
Types of ranging.

II. Topic: What do you think of the changes in life?
Everything in the universe is in constant change. And everything needs continual improvement if the ever
changing and increasing demands of humankind are to be met. If I am ever given the chance to change one
important thing about my home town, it would be internet service. Needless to say that nothing generally
revolutionized the way we live as internet in the past decade. Thus, an improvement in this vital service would
mean an even more, unheard betterment to the people in my home town.
It is said that information is power. True saying indeed! I can envision how everything in my home town
could improve dramatically if the internet service in it were made free, fast and staying out there like electricity,
telephone or water all the time. One thing, a fast free and reliable internet service could improve in my home town
is the way people work. If there is a this said service people in my home town must not necessarily commute to a
far place to do their job. This in turn would mean less traffic jams, spacious work place, more time for family and
recreation and so on.
The way people learn would be another important thing that a fast, free and reliable internet service could
better in my home town. People will have the chance to go through tremendous and different information
resources in a very small amount of time. They, apparently will also take less time to share it. This assures a more
fulfilled life for my home town people.
Since its advent, internet touched every part of our life. It in a dazzling way improved the way we do
business, learn and communicate. A change in internet service implies good way of living for everyone in my home
town.

VI. 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 đồ dùng, dụng cụ. 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.

II. Topic: Factories in residential areas produce both positive and negative effects to people’s lives. Do
you agree or disagree?

If a large factory is going to be built near your community, is it good or bad? It’s a quite difficult
question to answer. Because there are many aspects to take into your consideration - the advantages and
the disadvantages. Let’s talk about that.
First, a large factory, especially a large chemical factory is quite harmful to our environment when
it is built near our community. It will affect our daily life a lot. All the chemical factories will produce a lot
of waste and most of the wastes are harmful to the environment, including poisonous gas and liquid. Some
of them cannot be entirely broken down. If they are released into the air or the river, it will affect our
health. And also the factory may produce a lot of noise. The environment we want to live in is a quiet and
peaceful one, so the noise will be quite boring. And yes, noise also affects our health.

Still one thing, a factory can be very dangerous. Because a fire or a explosion may break out in the
factory. If it’s very near our home, it’s quite dangerous.
But in other hand, a factory may be a good news to us. It can provide more jobs for us, especially
for the young people in our community. Since the factory is near, it’s so convenient to go to work, and the
factory will get more chances to our area. It will help to develop our area. So if the factory can bring us a
lot of chances, we will agree to build one. But the most important things are:
1. Build the factory in a safe distance from our community, not too near.
2. Make sure that the factory can deal with the waste properly. Do not release the poisonous gas into the
air, and not release the waste water into the river nearby.
3. Make sure the security guard in the factory works very well.

VI. Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or
talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in
1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small
band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound
that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called 'synchronized sound' – began soon
after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and
speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone (máy hát), which played a large disc carrying music
and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could

become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector
changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be
read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing
synchronization (sự đồng bộ hoá ). Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This
system eventually brought us 'talking pictures'.

A. history of silent movies
B. disadvantages of synchronized sound

II. Topic: Parents are said to influence their children many different way. What do you think about this?
Parents influence greatly their children for a lifetime. I think people are molded by two factors, family
and the society that they are in. From birth, humans are influenced by the surrounding people for their
characteristics. Parents take a big role in bringing up children, which affects their lives for a long time.
In early infanthood, babies are looking to moms and dads to learn basic manners to be accepted in
society. Some of these manners include not running around in restaurants or hitting other kids. As they grow
up, they learn more from parents about social etiquette, which makes them more suitable to live in society.
Children tend to look to their parents for role models knowingly or unknowingly.
Besides, parents can also affect children's study habits. Children of doctors, lawyers, investment
bankers, and other professionals see their mothers and fathers work a lot of time, reading books, and
punching keyboards, even at home. They are showing their children how to study by their own behavior.
However, parents can also be a bad example for their kids. It is difficult for children who have abusive
parents to lead a normal childhood and is possible that they may become similar to their abusive parents
when they grow up. In this sense, the parents' negative role in shaping the children's personality cannot be
emphasized more.
In conclusion, parents are the best teachers for their children. They leave big marks on their children's
lives and are therefore more influential teachers than any others they may have in their lives.

Reading the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct:
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 computerassisted 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 computergenerated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution,
realistic-looking images.
