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.
In modern society, receiving systematic college education seems a necessary way for success as a
graduate from first-class university may always get more opportunities than others. However, if it is gold,
it will shine one day. In this article, we will get to know three most successful people in U.S. who never
finished their college education. Following experiences of these successful dropouts may give you some
inspiration.
1. Bill Gates
Harvard’s campus paper “Harvard Crimson” called Bill Gates “Harvard’s most successful dropout”,
while the rest of the world preferred to name him “the world’s richest man” for more than a decade. Now,
even not on the top, he is still among the list of the world’s wealthiest people. Gates entered Harvard in the
fall of 1973. Two years later, he dropped out to found Microsoft with friend Paul Allen. And in 2007, he
finally received an honorary doctorate from Harvard.
2. Steve Jobs
The iPad, even Buzz Lightyear probably wouldn’t have existed if Steve Jobs stayed in school.
Because his family couldn’t afford his college education, Jobs had to drop out of Reed College just after
entering for 6 months. Then he found Apple, NeXT Computer and Pixar, which had made great influences

on development of modern technique and culture. However, this wizard thought that his brief college
education was not worthless.
3. Frank Lloyd Wright
As the America’s most celebrated architect, Wright spent more time on designing colleges rather
than attending classes in them. Once spent one year in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then he left
for Chicago and started to learn from Louis Sullivan, the “father of modernism.” Wright’ s splendid resume
included more than 500 works, most famous of which are Fallingwater and New York City's Solomon R.
Guggenheim Museum.
Question 31: What does “dropouts” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Hardworking students.
B. Very successful students.
C. Students failing to finish their school education.
D. Students from poor families.
Question 32: Which of the following is right according to Paragraph 1?
A. People graduating from famous universities are more likely to get jobs.
B. Many successful people had the experience of giving up their school education.
C. If one has a lot of gold, he will become very rich one day.
D. We should stop our college education to follow in those successful people’s steps.
Question 33: According to the writer, Bill Gates _________.
A. is richer than any other man in the world
B. is well-known in Harvard University
C. finally finished his study at Harvard and got a doctorate degree
D. is the only founder of Microsoft
Question 34: Which of the following statements can’t be learned from the last two paragraphs?
A. The reason for Jobs’ dropping his college education is that his parents couldn’t pay for it.
B. Jobs thought his six-month college education gave him no help.
C. Wright’s teacher was a very famous artist.
D. Wright is the designer of New York City’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

Question 35: What does the author want to tell us in this passage?
A. Successful people often have unordinary life experience.
B. College education is not so important to one’s success.
C. People from poor families are more likely to give up their college education.
D. Even without college education, one can still achieve success with one’s hard work.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 36 to 40.
Many people have forgotten what the world was like before TV. But today it has become an
integral part of our lives. No medium can compare with TV as a means of information, entertainment and
education. TV now plays such an important role in so many people’s lives that it is essential for us to try to
decide (36)_______ it is bad or good.
First of all, TV is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a (37)_______ cheap one.
For a family of 4, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home than to
go out. They don’t have to pay for expensive tickets. All they have to do is to turn on TV and they can see
films, political discussions and the latest exciting football matches. Some people say that this is fist where
the danger lies. The TV viewers need do nothing: they (38)______ no choices, they’re completely passive and
don’t even use their legs.
TV, people often say, informs about current events and the latest developments in science and
politics. A lot of good films, music programs have appeared recently on TV. (39)_______ here again there is a
danger. We get to like watching TV so much that it begins to dominate our lives. A friend of mine told me
that when his TV set broke he and his family suddenly found that they had much more time to do things.
The most important thing which is really criticizing is poor quality of the programs and its harmful
effect on children. For example the film “Natural Born Killers” teaches children to kill and there was one
accident in France when a group of teenagers kill their parents.
There are many arguments for and against TV. I think we must understand that TV in itself is
neither good (40)______ bad. TV is as good or as bad as we make it.

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.
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s
sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off - if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin, which has been proven to
help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder
made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and
less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The
Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now,

taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the
calcium content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best
choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden
you will put on your body at night.

Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to
use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are
more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.


The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried.
Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use
of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone
companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that

mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use
mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern
scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious
memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own
son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working
week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor
didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech
machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies
agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less
often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when
you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the
future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's
wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments.
Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new
life. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare
programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of
industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who
was willing to work could find a job.


Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of
the programs - Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the
paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly
income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those
who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age
65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security
fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of
elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to
make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs.
These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food;
and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes.
Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of
private charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United
States, especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age
18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity.
Câu 43: New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from

.
A. the people who came earlier
B. the US government agencies
D. volunteer organizations
C. only charity organizations
Câu 44: It took welfare programs a long time to gain a foothold in the U.S. due to the fast
growth of
.
A. industrialization
B. modernization
C. urbanization
D. population
Câu 45: The word “instituted” in the first paragraph mostly means
.
A. “executed”
B. “studied”
C. “introduced”
D. “enforced”
Câu 46: Most of the public assistance programs after the severe economic crisis.
A. were introduced into institutions
B. did not become institutionalized
C. functioned fruitfully in institutions
D. did not work in institutions
Câu 47: That Social Security payments will be a burden comes from the concern that .
A. elderly people ask for more money
B. the program discourages working
C. the number of elderly people is growing
D.
younger people do not want to work
people

Câu 48: Americans on low incomes can seek help from .

C.

D. non-government agencies

Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the paychecks of working people,
Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment
insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons
can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern
that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the
population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to

make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs. These include
Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is
built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes.
Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of private charities
and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired
persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of
U.S. households contribute money to charity.

KEYS CHI TIẾT

1. D
Trọng âm của từ circumstance rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất, còn các từ còn lại trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 2
Considerate: /kən'sidərit/
Photographer: /fə'tɔ grəfə/
Community: /kə'mju:niti/
Circumstance: /'sə:kəmstəns/

2. B
Giải thích: Trọng âm của từ anthem rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất, còn các từ còn lại trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 2. Apply:
/ə'plai/
Attend: /ə'tend/


Appear: /ə'piə/
Anthem: /'ænθəm/

3. D
clear đọc là /iə/, các từ còn lại đọc là /i:/

4. A
laid đọc là /ei/, còn lại đọc là /eə/

5. B

Đây là câu rút gọn chủ ngũ khi chủ ngữ ở vế 1 và 2 cùng chủ ngữ. Chủ ngữ trong vế 1 là he (he was educated in the
UK), nhưng chủ ngữ ở mệnh đề 2 lại là his qualifications  sai.

6. B
Giải thích: film directions → film directors (các đạo diễn phim).

7. D
Cấu trúc song song: she is honest → her honesty vì trong một chuỗi liệt kê thì các từ (cụm từ) phải cùng thuộc 1 lớp từ
loại.Trong câu này her intelligence và cheerful disposition là cụm danh từ thì sau từ nối and cũng phải là 1 cụm danh từ.
8: D
Giải thích: Động từ trong mệnh đề chính của câu trên được chia ở dạng tương lai hoàn thành trong quá khứ (would have
gone) do đó động từ ở mệnh đề If tương ứng phải ở dạng quá khứ hoàn thành (hadn’t been). Câu trên thuộc mẫu câu
điều kiện loại III (không có thật trong quá khứ):
If + QKHT (had done), S + would have done.
9: A
Giải thích: according to sth (theo như cái gì), because of (bởi vì), adding up (tính tổng, cộng tất cả lại), resulting in (dẫn
tới kết quả). “The number of points scored” là điều kiện để xét giải thưởng nên ta phải dùng “according to” . Khi đó câu
trên được hiểu là “Các giải thưởng được trao theo số lượng điểm ghi được.”
10: C
Giải thích: Câu trên bắt đầu bằng While (trong khi mà), do vậy nó diễn đạt 2 vế mang nghĩa trái ngược nhau. Chúng ta
thấy mệnh đề “While southern California is densely populated…(Trong khi ở phía Nam California dân số đông đúc…)
mang nghĩa khẳng định nên mệnh đề còn lại phải mang nghĩa phủ định. Do vậy few people (ít có người/ ít người) là
đáp án chính xác. a number people, many people đều mang nghĩa có nhiều người, a few of people (một vài người).
11: A
Giải thích: so that (nên), if (nếu), such as (như là), as if (như thể). Mệnh đề đứng trước phục vụ cho mục đích được nêu
ở mệnh đề sau nên “so that” là đáp án. Khi này câu được hiểu là “Tòa nhà có một bộ máy dò khói nên bất kỳ ngọn lửa
nào cũng bị dập tắt ngay tức khắc.”
12: C
Giải thích: động từ trần thuật trong câu được chia ở thì quá khứ đơn giản “was announced” do vậy các đáp án are
injured (động từ chia ở thể bị động thời hiện tại đơn giản), và have been injured (động từ chia ở bị động

thời hiện tại hoàn thành) không phải là sự lựa chọn chính xác. Chủ ngữ đứng gần động từ cần được chia nhất ở dạng ngôi
thứ ba số ít vì thế đáp án đúng là was injured.
13: D
Giải thích: counterproductive (mang tính hiệu quả trái với mong muốn), unproductive (không mang tính hữu ích),
productivity (năng suất), productive (hữu ích). Xét về mặt ý nghĩa thì đáp án productive là phù hợp hơn cả. Khi đó câu
được hiểu là “Hai quốc gia này đã tiến tới một hợp hiệp định thông qua các cuộc đàm phán được coi là mang tính hữu
ích.”
14: C
Giải thích: ta có cấu trúc to persit in sth/ Ving mang nghĩa khăng khăng làm điều gì.
15: A
Giải thích: so as to (để/ để mà), so that (nên), in view of (xét thấy, bởi vì), with a view to (với ý định/ với hy vọng). Về
mặt ý nghĩa của câu thì so as to là phù hợp hơn cả. Khi này câu được hiểu là “Đảm bảo có ít nhất một khoảng trống
3cm để cho vừa đủ lỗ thông gió.”
16: D
Giải thích: chúng ta có cấu trúc would like to do sth mang nghĩa thích làm điều gì đó.
17: C
Giải thích: cụm từ to trade sth in mang nghĩa đổi cái cũ lấy cái mới (có các thêm tiền).
18: C
Giải thích: cụm từ to knock down mang nghĩa phá đổ (nhà), dỡ (nhà).
19: A
Giải thích: such that mang nghĩa đến nỗi mà/ đến mức mà là đáp án chính xác. Khi này câu được hiểu là “Nỗi tức giận đến
mức làm cô ấy òa khóc.”

20. C
Cảm ơn vì món quà thật tuyệt/ mình rất vui khi bạn thích nó

21. C
Bạn có muốn ăn gì không/Không, cảm ơn nha, giờ mình chưa đói

22. D
scruple = qualm: sự do dự, ngại ngần
distress: sự phiền muộn
impunity: sự miễn tội
perservere: sự kiên trì

23. C
expertise = mastery: thông thạo việc gì


activity: hoạt động
courage: sự can đảm
effort: sự cố gắng

24. B
dormant ≠ active: im lìm, không hoạt động ≠ hoạt động tích cự clever:
thông minh
energetic: mạnh mẽ, tràn đầy năng lượng
invisible: vô hình

25. B
abate: làm dịu đi ≠ augment: làm tăng lên

26. A
Giải thích: It trong “it was very dangerous” thay thế cho cả mệnh đề “David drove so fast”. Viết lại câu đã cho bằng cách
dùng mệnh đề quan hệ với which – which có thể thay thế cho mệnh đề đứng trước.
27: C
Giải thích: Câu nói trực tiếp là câu mệnh lệnh và có thái độ ra lệnh (động từ abandon và dấu chấm cảm cuối câu).
Tương ứng với nó ở dạng gián tiếp ta dùng order sb + to infinitive (ra lệnh cho ai đó làm gì).

28: C
Giải thích: to undervalue = to have a low opinion: đánh giá thấp, coi rẻ, coi thường. Câu C là cách viết lại của câu đã
cho bằng cách dùng cụm từ tương đương.
29: B
Giải thích: “Shall I make you a coffee?” là một câu mời lịch sự do đó khi chuyển sang gián tiếp ta dùng động từ offer
(đề nghị, đưa ra mời).
30: B
Giải thích: No sooner…than: ngay sau khi…thì. Câu đã cho có nghĩa như sau: “Ngay sau khi cô ấy đặt điện thoại xuống
thì sếp của cô ấy gọi lại”. Các câu C, D đều sai về mặt ngữ pháp. Câu C phải đảo động từ lên trước chủ ngữ vì có trạng từ
đứng đầu câu. Câu D sai vì sau without không là mệnh đề mà phải là danh từ hoặc Ving. Câu A sai về mặt ngữ nghĩa:
“Ngay khi sếp cô ấy gọi lại, cô ấy đặt luôn điện thoại xuống” Đáp án đúng là B.

31: B
Giải thích: Chỗ trống cần điền là một đại từ quan hệ bổ sung ý nghĩa cho cụm từ “this complex force” nên đại từ chỉ vật
“which” là phương án thích hợp nhất. Lưu ý ta không thể dùng “what” vì mệnh đề quan hệ không có hàm ý nghi vấn, dấu
chấm hỏi là của cụm từ “how much” ở đầu câu.
32: B
Giải thích: Run: chạy (người và động vật); blow: thổi, cuốn đi (gió); flow: chảy (nước); spread: trải, căng ra, bày ra.
“130 km/h” trong đoạn văn là con số chỉ sức gió trong cơn mưa nên động từ “blow” là đáp án.


33: D
Giải thích: Pay: trả; create: tạo ra; result: xảy ra; cause: gây ra. Ta có cấu trúc to cause damage: gây thiệt hại. Trong
đoạn văn trên có xuất hiện “damage” với vai trò là chủ ngữ trong câu nên động từ dạng bị động phải điền vào chỗ trống
ở đây là “caused”.
34: D
Giải thích: Strength: sức mạnh, cường độ, mặt mạnh; length: độ dài; power: quyền năng; force: đơn vị đo sức gió. Sau
chỗ trống là số 7 chỉ sức gió (cấp 7) nên danh từ phải điền chính là force.
35: C
Giải thích: Đứng trước chỗ trống cần điền là cụm từ even though: mặc dù (chỉ ý ngược lại với mệnh đề đứng trước) nên

unlike (không giống với…) là đáp án.
36: B
Giải thích: “They find that the phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows
that they are cool and connected.” Cool đồng nghĩa với fashionable hoặc stylish.
37: B
Giải thích: “On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile
phones”. Brain cells = the smallest units of the brain: tế bào não
38: C
Giải thích: a means of communication: phương tiện/ cách thức giao tiếp. Do đó means đồng nghĩa với method.
39: B
Giải thích: “In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't
remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone
for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile
phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.” Như vậy việc dùng điện thoại di động có thể gây ảnh hưởng đến các
chức năng về mặt thần kinh. Đáp án của câu là cause some mental malfunction.
40: D
Giải thích: “In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't
remember even simple tasks.”
41: D
Giải thích: “What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation.” Radiation chính là
những tia vô hình - invisible rays.
42: B
Giải thích: Bài đọc đề cập đến 2 mặt của một vấn đề. Tác giả đưa ra sự tiện lợi hữu ích của điện thoại di động đồng thời
cũng nêu lên những tác hại có thể gây cho con người. Đề tựa phù hợp nhất cho bài đọc trên là: “Technological
Innovations and Their Price” vì nó thể hiện được đúng nội dung của bài.
43: A
Giải thích: Bằng chứng cho câu trả lời này nằm trong câu “Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors
from their homeland to help them start a new life.” Trong đó, từ predecessors có nghĩa tương đương với the people
who came earlier (những người đến trước).
