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 highquality 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.
40. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. how to reduce garbage disposal
B. what people often understand about the term
'recycle'
C. what is involved in the recycling movement D. how to live sensitively to the environment.
41. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas?
A. Europe
B. Asia
C. Middle East
D. South
America
42. What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' mean?
C. friendly
D. responding
A. cautious
B. logical

II. TOPIC: Write a letter to pen-pal to talk about your family rules.
……………, September 21st, 2014
Dear Jim,
I am writing to talk about my family rules. It is an interesting topic, isn’t it? It may br obvious that
every family has its own rules. Mine has a few, apart from the traditional ones, especially for this school year
as I am in the final year.
First, I am not allowed to watch much TV, except when there is a good or very interesting film or an
academic game show, or when I have finished all my homework and exercises. And hardly do my parents let
me stay up so late at night.
Next, my parents rarely permit me to go out with friends without necessary reasons for example
birthdays or funerals.
Besides, I have to take the balanced diets to keep fit for my coming examinations. And one more thing I
have to keep up is talking on the phone. That is why I have to set a limit to my using of the phone.
Furthermore, I don’t have to do much housework though we share that all together.
Do you think I have a lot of rules to abide? Or I have no rights or freedom to do what I want or like?
Tell me about your family rules, will you? It is much fun to hear about then.
Write to me as soon as you can. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Mai

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'.

II. TOPIC: Write to describe your life in the 20 years’ time.
It is obvious that no one knows for sure what his tomorrow will be like, but he can make guesses. For
me, it is likely that my 20 years’ time life will be very different from what it is now.

Take work first for example, I think I will get a good job which I very much want to do. There is a
tendency that I will start up my own business then. I may invest in stock market and make a great fortune. I
will at that time be satisfied with what I earn, and never worry about financial matters.
Studying will change, too. In 20 years’ time, it is likely that I will take various professional courses,
and I tend to have several MA or PhD degrees in some different fields such as economy, education, and
culture. I will probably enroll in different courses to get higher and higher diplomas.
For lifestyle, I hope I will have balanced diets, live healthily and actively. I may get married to the one
I love and we plan to have one or two kids. I will spend as much time for my family as possible. We will travel
to different countries in the world on our yearly holiday of course. We will also afford weekly or monthly trips
to beauty spots throughout the country.
In the future, I will live in a big house with modernly-equipped living rooms, bedrooms, kitchen, toilets
and an open air space garden in front of a four-car garage. As I love animals very much, I will raise some
pets in my house including some different kinds of dogs, cats, parrots, doves, and others.
Transportation means are also my concern. I will then own some most fashionable hybrid luxurious
cars to use in different occasions. I will travel by air whenever travelling in distances.
In my dream, I am likely to keep in touch with all high school and university friends. There will always
be available most up-to-date means of communications for me to have good relationships with relatives,
friends, colleagues, partners, or even acquaintances.
Naturally, the future is not ours to see, but we have rights lo lead our own life, to shape our thinking, to build
up our future. As I am an optimistic and dynamic man, I will try my best to realize my dreams to make our
wishes become true someday.---------THE END---------

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
To a European, money means power, the freedom to do as he likes, which also means that, consciously or
unconsciously, he says: “I want to have as much money as possible myself and others to have as little money
as possible.”
In the United States, wealth was also acquired by stealing, but the real exploited victim was not a human
being but poor Mother Earth and her creatures who were ruthlessly plundered. It is true that the Indians were
expropriated or exterminated, but this was not, as it has always been in Europe, a matter of the conqueror

seizing the wealth of the conquered, for the Indian had never realized the potential riches of his country. It is
also true that, in the Southern states, men lived on the labor of slaves, but slave labor did not make them
fortunes; what made slavery in the South all the more inexcusable was that, in addition to being morally
wicked, it didn’t even pay off handsomely.
Thanks to the natural resources of the country, every American, until quite recently, could reasonably
look forward to making more money than his father, so that, if he made less, the fault must be his; he was
either lazy or inefficient. What an American values, therefore, is not the possession of money as such, but his
power to make it as proof of his manhood; once he has proved himself by making it, it has served its function
and can be lost or given away. In no society in history have rich men given away so large a part of their
fortunes. A poor American feels guilty at being poor, but less guilty than an American renter who had
inherited wealth but is doing nothing to increase it; what can the latter do but take to drink and
psychoanalysis?
Question 55: Which of the following can be concluded from the first paragraph?
A. Money is made either consciously or unconsciously. B. Those who have a lot of money enjoy real
freedom.
C. Some European acquire money and power without even being conscious of it.
D. Some people not only want to get rich but wish others to be poor.
Question 56: To an American, money means ___________.
A. proof of ability and manhood
B. "proof of ability and manhood" and "diligence and
efficiency"
C. diligence and efficiency
D. The freedom to do whatever he likes
Question 57: The author seems to believe that the natural resources in the U.S. are _________.
A. rich
B. on the increase
C. poor
D. limited
Question 58: In the passage, the word “fortunes” (Paragraphs 2 and 3) is used twice. What does it mean?

II. TOPIC: Write about the changes that information technology brings to your life.
We are now living in the Era of the Information technology, and we feel happy to be supported by
modern technologies which make our lives more comfortable and convenient. For me, information technology
brings me so many positive changes though sometimes it does cause some troubles.
It is undeniable that information technology helps bring my family members closer together as we
always keep in touch with help of telephones, internet, and other conveniences. Beside, information
technology helps us stay in touch with the world around. Every day, we are well-informed by reading news,
watching videos, browsing websites. We can also learn much about the entire world from our own tables or
even beds. Information technology provides us more choices of how, where, when and what to do things.

Beneficially, we have more chances to earn because there are always numerous jobs available in the IT field

that helps us make money and shop. Moreover, information technology helps us to broaden our knowledge as
we can learn or take various online and offline courses. Socially, we seem to have more and more friends both
at home and overseas, we can also share opinions, date with the help of information technology.
On the other hand, modern technology can also make us more isolated when we are absorbed in
technological devices. We sometimes feel annoyed by bad and poisonous information, images, or websites. We
are also afraid of losing confidential documents and files. Seriously, spywares are now so popular that they
make us very much worried and we have to spend more to protect our technological products.
Good or bad, I really think I am lucky enough to live in this information age. I cannot imagine my life
without the help of information technology. The most important thing I need to do is to take full advantages of
the information technology to better my life and try hard to reduce the bad effects that may bring to my life.

II. TOPIC: Write to discuss the opinion that women make better women than men.
Women for long are said to be more suited for being mothers and housewives. That means the
natural roles of women for many people are child-bearing and home-making only. That is why there exists
the opinion that women make better parents than men.
Naturally, many people agree that women have better intuitive intelligence than men. Women are
better at reading the children’s signals, so they can easily satisfy children’s needs. They also have better
emotional understanding of what the kids are going through. In addition, women have a closer bond with
their children. They create that during the nine months pregnancy and the early period of child rearing. It is
true that on average women spend more time than men on child rearing and care taking. Commonly, men
tend to be out to work a lot and they seem to spend little time with their children. Significantly, breeding
makes the relation between women and their children more close-knit.
On the contrary, there are many single fathers who can totally dedicate their lives to their children.
And, according to some researches, children of single mothers tend to have more chance of crime. It is also
true that no one come to parenthood and immediately knows everything. Learning and practicing can help
fathers perform as well as mothers. Moreover, men and women bring different benefits to their children.

People believe that fathers can teach their children better than mothers in many ways. Commonly, children
regard their fathers as more energetic, strong-willed, and ambitious whereas mothers as more kind-hearted,
sensitive, and emotional.
To sum up, there are different good things women and men can do for their children. It is obvious that
parents who love their children can do their tasks well, and both fathers and mothers give their children
good things to some extent. It will be lucky and far better for a child to be brought up by both good father
and mother. Parents should join hands to give their children good life and education.----------------the end---------------

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun and hides at least some part of the Sun
from the earth. In a partial eclipse, the Moon covers part of the Sun; in an annual eclipse, the Moon covers
the center of the Sun, leaving a bright ring of light around the Moon; in a total eclipse, the Sun is completely
covered by the Moon.
It seems rather improbable that a celestial body size of the Moon could completely block out the
tremendously immense Sun, as happens during a total eclipse, but this is exactly what happens. Although the
Moon is considerably smaller in size than the Sun, the Moon is able to cover the Sun because of their
relative distances from Earth. A total eclipse can last up to 7 minutes, during which time the Moon’s shadow
moves across Earth at a rate of about 6 kilometers per second.
36. This passage mainly _________.
A. describes how long an eclipse will last.
B. gives facts about the Moon.
C. explains how the Sun is able to obscure the Moon.
D. informs the reader about solar

eclipses.

A. somewhere in the sky
C. on the surface of the Sun
D. inside Earth’s atmosphere
40. What is the meaning of block out in line 5?
A. Square
B. Cover
C. Evaporate
D. Shrink
41. According to the passage, how can the Moon hide the Sun during a total eclipse?
A. The fact that the Moon is closer to Earth than the Sun makes up for the Moon’s smaller size.
B. The Moon can only obscure the Sun because of the Moon’s great distance from the Earth.
C. Because the Sun is relatively close to Earth, the Sun can be eclipsed by the Moon.
D. The moon hides the Sun because of the Moon’s considerable size.
42. The word relative in line 8 could best be replaced by ________.

VIII. Read the following passage then choose the best answer to the questions below.
Most people think of deserts as dry, flat areas with little vegetation and little or no rainfall, but this is
hardly true. Many deserts have varied geographical formations ranging from soft, rolling hills to stark,
jagged cliffs, and most deserts have a permanent source of water. Although deserts do not receive a high
amount of rainfall – to be classified as a desert, an area must get less than twenty-five centimeters of rainfall
per year – there are many plants that thrive on only small amounts of water, and deserts are often full of such
plant life.
Desert plants have a variety of mechanisms for obtaining the water needed for survival. Some plants,
such as cactus, are able to store large amounts of water to last until the next rainfall. Other plants, such as the
mesquite, have extraordinarily deep root systems that allow them to obtain water from far below the desert’s
arid surface.
61. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Deserts are dry, flat areas with few plants.
B. There is little rainfall in the desert.
C. Many kinds of vegetation can survive with little water. D. Deserts are not really flat areas with little
plant life.
62. The passage implies that ____________.
A. the typical conception of a desert is incorrect. B. all deserts are dry, flat areas.

vegetation.

II. TOPIC: Write to describe your all-time favorite movie.
In life, although I have several hobbies, watching movies is the one I am more interested in. I have
watched countless films so far, but B N KHÔNG CH NG, a product of VFC (Vietnam Film Corporation) in
2001, is the one that has created the biggest impression on me ever since.
The film is set in the time of our war against the American troops in the South to unify the country
and the construction to build a communist country in the North. The ground of the story is in a tranquil poor
farming village in the North. The main characters are Mr. Van, a veteran, a secretary of the village’s
Communist Youth Union named Hanh, the two widows and the villagers. The story happens right inside the
village to the bank of a no-name-river having a namely Khong Chong river five-step-wharf.
After serving in the army Van came back to his village in which there were only old villagers

together with almost widows, girls and very few disabled men. When Van returned, he was appointed head
of the village armed group which consisted of around six armed girls including Hanh – Van’s former
sweetheart’s daughter. Van lived under the same roof with a land-lord widow and her 16 year-old son. Van
was then admired by all the villagers, so he tried his best to meet the residents’ expectations. Though
sometimes the mid-forties man felt lonely, he tried not to do wrong thing especially on sex. Time passed,
peace was then established with the unification declaration, the village was still under the misery of the war
unhappiness. Hanh married to an Army captain, but had no child for long. Debates and conflicts occurred,
which made Hanh left her husband. So disappointed, and hopeless, she entered Van’s hut by a showery
night. The two thirsty unhappy persons met, and then Hanh was pregnant. Unable to live with the villagers’
prejudice, Van and Hanh left the homeland, and finally Van killed himself by the river wharf Ben Khong
Chong.
The scenes in the movie are colorful and interesting, typical for a North Vietnam’s rural village. The
story is touching and rather mournful. The acting of the main characters is excellent as they are all famous
actors and actresses. The film leaves us valuable lessons in life, and helps us know more about the rural life
courtesy. I must say that it is one of the best movies I have ever watched in my life.

Reading passage:
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.
