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 Question 1 to 7)
Southern Thailand was hit Thursday by the most severe haze ever from forest fires in Indonesia,
forcing all schools in a province to close and disrupting flights in a popular tourist area, officials
said.
The haze that has shrouded parts of Malaysia and Singapore for nearly two months reached
hazardous levels in the southern Thai city of Songkhla, with the pollution index hitting a recordhigh reading of 365. (A reading of 101-200 is unhealthy, 201-300 is very unhealthy and above 300
is hazardous.)
“This is a crisis,” said Halem Jemarican, head of the Southern Environment Office. He said the
pollution index in southern Thailand has never exceeded 300 before.
Halem said his office has worked with other authorities to have all schools in Songkhla province
send students home and all outdoor sports stadiums to close temporarily. Warnings have been issued
to vulnerable people such as children, the elderly and people with illnesses not to go out of their
homes.
“The wind speed is very low this year in the south, causing haze to stay in our skies longer,” Halem
said by telephone.
An airport official in Hat Yai, a popular tourist area, said three flights bound for Bangkok were

delayed Thursday morning because of the haze. A flight from Bangkok to Hat Yai was diverted to
Surat Thani on Wednesday evening. The official declined to be identified because of working rules.
Local media reported that cloud seeding has been discussed as a way to dispel the haze in southern
Thailand, which is hundreds of kilometers (miles) from the forest fires in Indonesia’s Sumatra
island.
Southern Thailand boasts tropical beaches popular among tourists in Surat Thani and Phuket, two of
the seven provinces suffering from the haze.

There is a strange paradox to the success of the Asian education model. On the one hand, class
sizes are huge by Western standards with between 30 and 40 students per class, in countries like
Japan and Korea. On the other hand, school children in developed Asian economies rank among the
highest in the world for academic achievement in the areas of science and mathematics, especially
on standardised tests. Meanwhile, British secondary school students fail to shine in conditions most
educational researchers would say are far more likely to help them succeed.
Classroom management seems to be easier in places like Korea, and perhaps lessons are more
effective as a direct consequence. After all, we are only too aware of the decline in discipline
Mã đề 001-Trang 2/7


standards in our own school: belligerent and disrespectful students appear to be the norm these days.
Teachers in Britain seem powerless to control what happens anymore. Surely this situation cannot
create a very effective learning environment, so perhaps the number of students is far less relevant
than is the manner in which they conduct themselves.
But there are other factors to consider, too. There is the home environment. The traditional family

unit still remains relatively intact in Korea. Few children come from broken homes, so there is a
sense of security, safety and trust both at home and at school. In Britain meanwhile, one in every
two marriages fails and divorce rates are sky high. Perhaps children struggle to cope with unstable
family conditions and their only way to express their frustration is by misbehaving at school.
But while the Japanese, Korean and Asian models generally do seem to produce excellent results,
the statistics don’t tell the whole truth. You see, behind those great maths and science scores, there is
a quite remarkable work ethic. Asian students tend to put their education before literally everything
else. They do very few extracurricular activities and devote far more time to their studies than their
British peers.
There has been a lot of attention and praise given to these Asian models and their “impressive”
statistics of late. And without question, some of this praise is justified, but it seems to be a case of
two extremes in operation here. At one end, there is the discipline and unbelievably hard work ethic
of the Asian students – success in education before all else. At the other end, British students at
times appear careless and extremely undisciplined by comparison, but at least they do have the free
time to enjoy their youth and explore their interests. Is either system better outright? Or is it perhaps
about time we stopped comparing and started trying to combine the best bits of both, so that we can
finally offer our students a balanced, worthwhile education.
Question 12: The word “They” in paragraph 4 refers to …………………..
A. British students
B. Asian students
C. Japanese students
D. Korean students
Question 13: British secondary school students …………………...
A. have larger class sizes
B. fail at school more than they succeed
C. enjoy better classroom conditions
D. do better on standardised tests
Question 14: The word “unstable” in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by …………………...
A. unchangeable
B. unpredictable

C. unimportant
D. unsteady
Question 15: What can be implied from the writer’s opinion of the two educational systems
discussed?
A. The British system is too strict.
B. The Asian system is clearly better.
C. Both systems are quite satisfactory for different reasons.
D. Neither system is perfect.
Question 16: What does the writer mean when he says there is a “paradox” in the Asian education
model?
A. Asian students outperform their peers in other countries.
B. There are too many students in each class.
C. Class sizes are much smaller in other parts of the world.

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 question 46 to 50)
You may have heard that tomatoes and processed tomato products like tomato sauce and canned
tomatoes protect __( 46 )__ some types of cancer. The cancer-preventing properties of tomato
products have been __( 47 )___to lycopene. It is a bright red pigment found in tomatoes and other
red fruits and is the cause of their red colour. Unlike other fruits and vegetables, where nutritional
content such as vitamin C is diminished upon cooking, processing of tomatoes increases the
concentration of lycopene. Lycopene in tomato paste is four times __( 48 )__ in fresh tomatoes. This
Mã đề 001-Trang 6/7


is because lycopene is insoluble in water and is tightly bound to vegetable fiber. Thus _____(49 )__
tomato products such as pasteurized tomato juice, soup, sauce, and ketchup contain the highest
concentrations of lycopene. Cooking and crushing tomatoes as in the canning process and serving in
oil-rich dishes such as spaghetti sauce or pizza __( 50 )__ increase assimilation from the digestive
tract into the bloodstream. Lycopene is a fat-soluble substance, so the oil is said to help absorption
to a great extent.
