May 7, 1840, was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth century Peter
Illich Tchaikovsky. The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later studied composition
at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. His greatest period of productivity occurred between 1876 and 1890, during which
time he enjoyed the patronage of Madame von Meck, a woman he never met, who gave him a living stipend of about
$1,000.00 a year. Madame von Meck later terminated her friendship with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living
allowance, when she, herself, was facing financial difficulties. It was during the time of Madame von Meck's patronage,
however, that Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous, including the music for the ballets of Swan
Lake and The Sleeping Beauty.
Tchaikovsky's music, well known for its rich melodic and sometimes melancholy passages, was one of the first
that brought serious dramatic music to dance. Before this, little attention had been given to the music behind the dance.

committed suicide.

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius , they will
cause a disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the
biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware
of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great

damage to children. However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their
children to do, but are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well


– especially if the parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky.
He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and
arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice
a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father
plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never
makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael’s
friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too
high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they
enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win.
Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet
and unhappy.
Câu 31: Michael Collins is fortunate in that ______.
A. his father is a musician B. his parents are quite rich
C. his mother knows little about music D. his parents help him in a sensible way
Câu 32: Winston’s parents push their son so much and he ______.
A. has won a lot of piano competitions B. cannot learn much music from them
C. has become a good musician D. is afraid to disappoint them
Câu 33: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.
A. help their child to become a genius B. make their child become a musician
C. neglect their child’s education D. push their child into trying too much
Câu 34: Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong if they ______.
A. force their children into achieving success
B. themselves have been very successful
C. arrange private lessons for their children
D. understand and help their children sensibly
Câu 35: Who have criticized the methods of some ambitious parents?

A. Successful musicians. B. Their children.
C. Unrealistic parents. D. Educational psychologists.
Câu 36: The two examples given in the passage illustrate the principle that ______.
A. successful parents always have intelligent children
B. successful parents often have unsuccessful children
C. parents should let the child develop in the way he wants
D. parents should spend more money on the child’s education


Câu 37: All of the following people are musical EXCEPT _____.
A. Winston’s mother B. Michael’s mother C. Michael’s father D. Winston’s father
Câu 38: The word "They" in the passage refers to ______.

Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins hold
about 300 million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of
water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation
and drainage to the ocean. More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the
continents. This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and
water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the hydrosphere permits
organic existence. The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties
unlike those of any other liquid. One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about
9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For this reason, ice floats on water
bodies instead of sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be
frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season. Thus,
all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which


moderates climate, would be notably absent. Another outstanding characteristic of water is
that water has a heat capacity which is the
highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia. This characteristic enables the oceans to
absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes. In
addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. It is this characteristic
which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down
from the continents. In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially
exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practiced, potash is extracted from the Dead
Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the
American Gulf Coast.

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.
Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as important to me as
emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related?

Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and is
something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color that you choose to wear either
refects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need.
The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you. Of course
they also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the one saturated with the color all day
! I even choose items around me based on their color. In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color
or emotion that I need for the day. So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are
exposed to, which can help you to feel better.
Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are
meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in motion.
Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body. So, the fastest way to be healthy is to
be open to your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your emotions.

A. Colors can help you become healthy.
B. Colorful clothes can change your mood

D. Colors are one of the most exciting.

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

A. effects

B. vitamins
C. claims
D. therapies
Question 77: Why did vitamin therapy begin losing favor in the 1950's ?
A. Medical schools stopped teaching nutritional concepts
B. Nutritional research was of poor quality
C. The public lost interest in vitamins
D. Claims for the effectiveness of vitamin therapy were seen to be exaggerated.

A. in dispute with
B. prior to
C. in conjunction with
D. in regard to
Question 79: The word "skyrocketing" is closest in meaning to
A. internationally popular
