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 35 to 44.
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frames of an object, each slightly
different than the preceding 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
computer-assisted 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 sequence of
pictures.
These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that define 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 for 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 computes 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 repeated 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 computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of
calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images.
Question 35. What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The production process
B. The equipment needed
C. The high cost
D. The role of the artist
Question 36. According to the passage, in computer-assisted animation the role of the computer is to

C. store individual images
D. create new frames
Question 39. According to the passage, the positions and colours of the figures in high-tech animation are

determined by........
A. drawing several versions


B. enlarging one frame at a lime
C. analyzing the sequence from different angles
D. using computer calculations

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 45 to 54.
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.
Question 45-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.
Question 46-Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas?


A. Europe
B. Asia
C. Middle East
D. South America
Question 47-What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' mean?
A. cautious
B. logical
C. friendly
D. responding
Question 48-People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT____.
A. buy high-quality product
B. buy simply-wrapped things
C. reuse cups
D. buy fewer hamburgers
Question 49-Why is it a waste and customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because people will soon throw them away. B. Because they have to be repaired many times.
C. Because customers change their ideas all the time. D. Because they produce less energy.
Question 50-What does it mean 'Customers can vote with their wallets'?
A. they can choose the cheapest products
B. they can cast a lot to praise a producer.
C. they can ask people to choose products with less packaging
D. they can tell the producers which products are good for environment by buying them.
Question 51-The word 'motto' is closest in meaning to_________
A. meaning
B. value
C. belief

D. reference
Question 52-What best describes the process of reuse?
A. The bottles are collected, washed, returned and filled again.
B. The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed.
C. The bottles are washed, retuned, filled again and collected.
D. The bottles are collected, returned filled again and washed.

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 45 to 54.

Around 365 B.C, in ancient Greece, the great teacher Plato told a story about a place called Atlantis.
Plato described Atlantis as a continent in the Atlantic Ocean. He said it had been the home of powerful
people who were destroyed when the continent was swallowed by the sea.
Ever since Plato’s time, people have wondered if the story about Atlantis was really true. Was there
ever such a place as Atlantis? During the Middle Ages, many people believed in the legend of Atlantis.
Some men even made voyages to find the “lost continent”. Later, most people believed Atlantis to be just
a myth. Scientists could find to no evidence to show that such a place had ever existed.
Ideas change in time, however, for now some scientists think that Atlantis might have been a real
place. A Greek professor has offered a new theory. He says that Atlantis was not a continent in the
Atlantic Ocean an island called Thera in the Aegean Sea. The professor says that 3500 years ago much of
Thera collapsed into the sea a volcano erupted. He thinks that before the explosion Thera had been the
home of people called Minoans. The Minoans were sea traders who ruled the Aegean Sea from 2000 B.C.
to 1250 B.C.
Scientists who have come to investigate Thera have found an accident city buried beneath volcanic ash
and stone. It appears that the people who lives in the city had an advanced civilization. They were
probably Mimoans.
Is Thera the “lost continent” of Atlantis? No one may ever know for certain. Atlantis may emain a
riddle without an answer.

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 question s from 45 to 54.
Ancient people made clay pottery because they needed it for their survival. They used the pots they
made for cooking, storing food, and carrying things from place to place. Pottery was so important to early
cultures that scientists now study it to learn more about ancient civilizations. The more advanced the
pottery in terms of decoration, materials, glazes and manufacture, the more advanced the culture itself.
The artisan who makes pottery in North America today utilizes his or her skill and imagination to
create items that are beautiful as well as functional, transforming something ordinary into something
special and unique.
The potter uses one of the Earth's most basic materials, clay. Clay can be found almost
everywhere. Good pottery clay must be free from all small stones and other hard materials that would

make the potting process difficult. Most North American artisan-potters now purchase commercially
processed clay, but some find the clay they need right in the earth, close to where they work.
The most important tools potters use are their own hand; however, they also use wire loop tools,
wooden modeling tools, plain wire, and sponges. Plain wire is used to cut away the finished pot from its
base on the potter's wheel.
After a finished pot is dried of all its moisture in the open air, it is placed in a kiln and fired. The
first firing hardens the pottery, and it is then ready to be glazed and fired again. For areas where they do
not want any glaze, such as the bottom of the pot, artisans paint on melted wax that will later burn off in
the kiln. They then pour on the liquid glaze and let it run over the clay surface, making any kind of
decorative pattern that they want.
45. It can be inferred from the passage that clay is processed commercially in order to ……….
A. make it easier to color
B. remove hard substances
C. prevent the glaze from sticking
D. make it dry more evenly

examining its pottery?
A. Its population
B. Its developmental stage
C. Its geographic location
D. Its food preferences
48. According to the passage, how do most North American potters today get the clay they need?
A. They buy it

C. They did it from the earth

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 question s from 55 to 64.
The Moon has been worshipped by primitive peoples and has inspired humans to create everything
from lunar calendars to love sonnets, but what do we really know about it? The most accepted theory
about the origin of the Moon is that it was formed of the debris from a massive collision with the young
Earth about 4.6 billion years ago. A huge body, perhaps the size of Mars, struck the Earth, throwing out
an immense amount of debris that coalesced and cooled in orbit around the Earth.
The development of Earth is inextricably linked to the moon; the Moon's gravitational influence
upon the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides. In fact, the Moon has more than twice the effect upon
the tides than the Sun does. The Moon makes one rotation and completes a revolution around the Earth
every 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes. This synchronous rotation is caused by an uneven distribution of
mass in the Moon (essentially, it is heavier on one side than the other) and has allowed the Earth's gravity
to keep one side of the Moon permanently facing Earth. It is an average distance from Earth of 384,403
km.
The Moon has no atmosphere; without an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to protect it from
meteorite impacts, and thus the surface of the Moon is covered with impact craters, both large and small.
The Moon also has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so the erosive effects of atmospheric
weathering, tectonic shifts, and volcanic upheavals that tend to erase and reform the Earth's surface
features are not at work on the Moon. In fact, even tiny surface features such as the footprint left by an
astronaut in the lunar soil are likely to last for millions of years, unless obliterated by a chance meteorite
strike. The surface gravity of the Moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth's. Therefore, a man weighing
82 kilograms on Earth would only weigh 14 kilograms on the Moon.
The geographical features of the Earth most like that of the Moon are, in fact, places such as the
Hawaiian volcanic craters and the huge meteor crater in Arizona. The climate of the Moon is very unlike
either Hawaii or Arizona, however; in fact the temperature on the Moon ranges between 123 degrees C. to
-233 degrees C.
55. The word "uneven" is closest in meaning to _____.
A. equally distributed

B. orderly
C. heavier D. not uniform
56. A person on the Moon would weigh less than on the Earth because _____.
A. the Moon has no active tectonic or volcanic activity
B. the surface gravity of the Moon is less
C. of the composition of lunar soil
D. the Moon has no atmosphere
57. According to the passage, the Moon is _____.
A. protected by a dense atmosphere
B. composed of a few active volcanoes
C. older than the Earth
D. the primary cause of Earth's ocean tides
58. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The Moon is not able to support human life.
B. People living in Hawaii and Arizona would feel at home on the Moon.
C. If the Moon had no gravitational influence, the Earth would not have tides.
D. Mars could have been formed in a similar way to the Moon.


59. The word "erase" is closest in meaning to _____.
A. change
B. impact
C. obliterate
D. erupt
60. All of the following are true about the Moon EXCEPT _____.
A. it has a wide range of temperatures
B. it is unable to protect itself from meteorite attacks
C. it has less effect upon the tides than the Sun
D. it is heavier on one side than the other
61. The word "massive" is closest in meaning to _____.

A. impressive
B. dense
C. huge
D. unavoidable
62. The word "debris" is closest in meaning to _____.
A. rubbish
B. earth
C. satellites
D. moons
63. Why does the author mention "impact craters"?
A. to show the result of the Moon not having an atmosphere.
B. to explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric weathering.
C. to explain why the Moon has no plant life because of meteorites.
D. to show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic or volcanic activity.
64. What is the passage primarily about?
A. the Moon's effect upon the Earth.
B. a comparison of the Moon and the Earth.
C. the origin of the Moon.
D. what we know about the Moon and its differences to Earth.

A friend is very important to everyone.In fact,it’s impossible to live without friends.In my
opinion,there are three basic qualities that lay the firm foundation for friendship.Firstly,mutual help.A

good friend is always ready to give us a hand in any situations.A friend in need is a friend indeed.We
shouldn’t be too deliberate in helping.Secondly,mutual confidence.Friends must feel safe when telling
each other the most secrets.Obviously,liars and talkative people can never have good
friends.Thirdly,talking about true friendship,I can’t help mentioning the faithfulness and sharing.A true
friend is the one who will cheer to our happiness and share our sorrows in adversity.In short,the value of
friendship is that gives us a source of happiness and comforts our sufferings and a true friendship will be
forever although we are rich or poor.

A fold culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in
custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals.
Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are
strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of
labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties


may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is
weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized
countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo-America is
the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of
the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as a local transportation device, and the
faithful are not permitted to own automobiles.
The Amish’s central religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and
social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do
the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal
mechanism for maintaining order.
By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and constantly

changing. Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the
establishment of many specialized professions. Secular institutions, of control such as the police and army take
the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these
contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly different from “folk”.
The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk-made objects
give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is
easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner. Question 6: What does the passage mainly

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 35 to 44.
In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all these cartoons is the
joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always
based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose.
Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In wartime, for
example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays cartoons are often used to
make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters. In this way,
the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States.
Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also
attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such cartoons about the lives and
sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate
people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented
