Don’t forget your hat
An important point to remember if you like spending time out in an open air is that human head doesn‟t work

planning to go out and about . Surprisingly, a single waterproof hat with a brim will do the

In cold climates, the problem is that the head is (32)……………………. heat all the time. As much as fifty to
sixty per cent of your body‟s heat is lost through the head and neck, (33)………………………… on which
scientist you believe. Clearly this heat loss needs to be prevented, but it‟s important to remember that hats don‟t
actually keep you warm, they simply stop heat escaping.


Just as important is the need to protect your neck from the effects of bright sunlight, and the brim of your hat
will do this. If you prefer a baseball cap, (34)……………………… buying one that has a drop down „tail‟ at
the back to stop your neck getting sunburnt.
And in wet weather (10)………………….., hats are often more practical than pooling up the hood of your

Did you know that you do not have to be a chemist to invent something? An example of chemistry invention
that was made by a non-scientist is Liquid Paper. In 1952, a divorced woman named Bette Nesmith Graham

job as a typist, but she was not very good at it. [2] She made a lot of errors typing leading her to formulate a
white tempura paint to hide them. [3] Using her kitchen as a laboratory, she developed a liquid that other people
wanted to buy and use. She named this liquid “Mistake Out” [4]
While continuing to work as a secretary, she educated herself in business methods, promotion, and research
until she was satisfied that the product she had developed was really worthwhile. Sometimes around 1952 she
offered “Mistake Out” to IBM, which turned it down. From 1952 until 1979 she continued to make and sell

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 43 to 50.
Competition
Rivalry among business and service industries is called competition. This feature of a market economy
encourages business to improve their good and services, keep their prices affordable, and offer new products to
attract more buyers.
There are four basic types of competition in business that form a continuum from pure competition through
monopolistic competition and oligopoly to monopoly. (See diagram) At one end of the continuum, pure
competition results when every company has a similar product. Companies that deal in commodities such as
wheat or corn are often involved in pure competition. In Pure Competition, it is often the ease and efficiency of
distribution that influences purchase.
In contrast, in monopolistic competition, several companies may compete for the sale of items that may be
substituted. The classic example of monopolistic competition is coffee and tea. If the price of one is perceived
as too high, consumers may begin to purchase the other. Coupons and other discounts are often used as part of a
marketing strategy to influence sales.
Oligopoly occurs when a few companies dominate the sales of a product or service. For example, only five
airline carriers control more than 70 percent of all ticket sales in the United States. In oligopoly, serious
competition is not considered desirable because it would result in reduced revenue for every company in the
group. Although price wars do occur, in which all companies offer substantial savings to customers, a
somewhat similar tendency to raise prices simultaneously is also usual.

.
A. permitted
B. reserved
C. criticized
D. devised
Question 46: Where in the passage does the author explain pure competition?
A. paragraph 2
B. paragraph 3
C. paragraph 4

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.
Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the
earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia,
a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the
dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs
were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as
loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived
in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone.
The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely
related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus
Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog.
The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped
noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were
slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely.
Question 35: The author states that the newly discovered dinosaur remains are evidence that it was the
largest __________.
A. carnivorous dinosaur
B. dinosaur ever
C. South American dinosaur
D. herbivorous dinosaur
Question 36: The word Besides in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A. in spite of
B. mostly
C. in addition to
D. although.
Question 37: The word horrifying in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A. frightening
B. fast
C. large
D. interesting

Question 38: The word astounding in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A. pleasing
B. displeasing
C. surprising
D. terrifying
Question 39: The author implies that the most interesting fact about the find is that this dinosaur _____.
A. was found in the Andes
B. had a powerful jaw and sharp teeth
C. was larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex
D. lived and hunted with others
Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 134


Question 40: The passage indicates that prior to this discovery scientists believed that ___________.
A. there were no meat-eating dinosaurs in the Andes
B. meat-eating dinosaurs lived alone
C. Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the Andes
D. meat-eating dinosaurs were small in stature
Question 41: The word it in the second paragraph refers to ___________.
A. Relationship
B. dog
C. newly discovered meat-eater
D. Giganotosaurus
Question 42: The author states that the newly discovered meat-eating dinosaur is ___________.
A. closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex.
B. not closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex.
C. not closely related to Giganotosaurus
D. closely related to the large cat family
Question 43: The word dissect in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ____________.
A. dismember

B. chew
C. escape
D. swallow
Question 44: The word prey in the last sentence of the passage is closest in meaning to _________.

B. victim
C. dinosaurs
D. attacker
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.
Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our gardens is one
of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted. They clog waterways,
destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming. Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for
one-third of all crop loss. They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants.
The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides
are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic
compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and
drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them.
In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically
sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems. Hence, scientists are exploring
the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms.
The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans. They can be
chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast,
some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only

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.
Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the
earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia,
a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the
dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs
were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as
loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived
in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone.
The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely
related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus
Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog.
The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped
noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were
slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely.

Question 35: The author states that the newly discovered dinosaur remains are evidence that it was the
largest ___________.
A. dinosaur ever
B. carnivorous dinosaur
C. herbivorous dinosaur
D. South American dinosaur
Question 36: The word Besides in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. in addition to
B. in spite of
C. although.
D. mostly
Question 37: The word horrifying in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. fast
B. large
C. interesting
D. frightening
Question 38: The word astounding in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. surprising
B. pleasing
C. displeasing
D. terrifying
Question 39: The author implies that the most interesting fact about the find is that this dinosaur
___________.
A. had a powerful jaw and sharp teeth
B. was larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex
Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 210


C. lived and hunted with others

D. was found in the Andes

Question 40: The passage indicates that prior to this discovery scientists believed that ____________.
A. there were no meat-eating dinosaurs in the Andes
B. meat-eating dinosaurs lived alone
C. meat-eating dinosaurs were small in stature
D. Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the Andes
Question 41: The word it in the second paragraph refers to ____________.
A. newly discovered meat-eater
B. Relationship
C. dog
D. Giganotosaurus
Question 42: The author states that the newly discovered meat-eating dinosaur is ____________.
A. not closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex.
B. closely related to the large cat family
C. not closely related to Giganotosaurus
D. closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Question 43: The word dissect in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ____________.
A. escape
B. chew
C. swallow
D. dismember
Question 44: The word prey in the last sentence of the passage is closest in meaning to ____________.

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.
Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our gardens is one

of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted. They clog waterways,
destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming. Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for
one-third of all crop loss. They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants.
The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides
are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic
compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and
drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them.
In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically
sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems. Hence, scientists are exploring
the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms.
The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans. They can be
chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast,
some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only
those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number
of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed.
Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season.
Question 45: With what topic does this passage primarily deal?
A. The importance of the chemical industry.
B. The dangers of toxic chemicals.
C. Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones.
D. A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides.
Question 46: The word “marring” in bold is closest in meaning to __________.
A. replacing
B. dividing
C. spoiling
D. planting
Question 47: The word “clog” in bold is closest in meaning to __________.
A. grow along
B. drain
C. float on

D. obstruct
Question 48: Which of the following terms does the author define in the first paragraph?
