V. Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Broad-tailed hummingbirds often nest in quaking, slender deciduous trees with smooth, gray-green
bark found in the Colorado Rockies of the Western United States. After flying some 2,000 kilometres north
from where they have wintered in Mexico, the hummingbirds need six weeks to build a nest, incubate their
eggs, and raise the chicks. A second nest is feasible only if the first fails early in the season. Quality, not
quantity, is what counts in hummingbird reproduction.
A nest on the lowest intact branch of an aspen will give a hummingbird a good view, a clear flight
patch, and protection for her young. Male hummingbirds claim feeding territories in open meadows where,
from late May through June, they mate with females coming to feed but take no part in nesting. Thus when the
hen is away to feed, the nest is unguarded. While the smooth bark of the aspen trunk generally offers a poor
grip for the claws of a hungry squirrel or weasel, aerial attacks, from a hawk, owl, or gray jay, are more likely.
The choice of where to build a nest is based not only on the branch itself but also on what hangs over
it. A crooked deformity in the nest branch, a second, unusually close branch overhead, or proximity to part of a
trunk bowed by a past ice storm are features that provide shelter and make for an attractive nest site. Scarcely
larger than a halved golf ball, the nest is painstaking constructed of spider webs and plant down, decorated and
camouflaged outside with paper-like bits of aspen bark held together with more strands of spider silk. By early
June it will hold two pea-sized eggs, which each weigh one-seventh of the mother’s weight, and in sixteen to
nineteen days, two chicks.

A. If there is an unusually large supply of food

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE DA VINCI CODE
In 2006, Sony Pictures released a remarkable and intriguing film entitled The Da Vinci
Code, based on the novel of the same name by Dan Brown. In the film, religious leaders and
professors are in a race to discover the secrets of an organization called the Priory of Sion. The
biggest secret kept by this organization is supposedly that Jesus Christ and a woman whose name is
recorded in the Bible as Mary Magdalene had a child, and that their family 55 line continues to this
day. In a TV interview, Dan Brown stated that, in his book, "all of the art, architecture, secret rituals,
secret societies, all of that is historical fact." However, while the Priory of Sion did exist, it's nothing
like the one which is so central to The Da Vinci Code.
The Priory of Sion was started in France in 1956 by a skillful liar named Pierre
Plantard. Priory means religious house, and Sion was a hill in the town of Annemasse, where the
Priory was started by Plantard and four of 60 his friends. At first, their group fought for housing
rights for local people, and their offices were at Plantard's apartment. The organization promised to
benefit the weak and the oppressed, and to do good in general. However, there was a darker side to
the Plantard's Priory.
Plantard actually hoped to use the Priory of Sion to claim to be a descendant of French

kings. Between the years 1961 and 1984, Plantard created the enigma of a much more powerful
Priory than his insignificant organization. 65 First, in order to give the impression that the Priory
began in 1099, Plantard and his friend Philippe de Cherisey created documents, called the Secret
Dossiers of Henri Lobineau, and illegally put them into the National Library of France. Next,
Plantard got author Gerard de Sede to write a book in 1967 using the false documents; the book
became very popular in France. This phenomenon is similar to the popularity of The Da Vinci Code,
where a book based on false information or speculation becomes popular. 70
Matters were complicated when in 1969, an English actor and science-fiction writer
named Henry Lincoln read Gerard de Sede's book. Lincoln did not know of Plantard and his schemes,
and may have been a victim of the hoax. He seemed to believe what he read, and jumped to even
more wild conclusions, which he published in his 1982 book, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. He
and his co-authors declared as fact that the Priory started in 1099; that its leaders included Leonardo
Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Victor Hugo; that the Priory protects the descendants of Jesus 75 Christ
and Mary Magdalene; and that these descendants ruled France from A.D. 447 to 751. All this was
based on reading a novel based on the false facts from documents which were a hoax. Most modern
historians do not consider Lincoln's book to be a serious work of history.
How can we be so sure that Plantard created this hoax? Well, the best witness to a crime is the
criminal himself. Over 100 hundred letters between Plantard, de Cherisey, and de Sede, discovered by
researcher Jean-Luc 80 Chaumeil, show clearly that they were trying to pull an elaborate hoax. In fact, in the
1990s, Plantard got in trouble with the law, and his house was searched. Within it were found many false
documents, most harmless, some of which said he was the true king of France. As a final embarrassment,
Plantard had to swear in a court of law that the enigma of the Priory of Sion was the work of his imagination.
Câu 66: What does the author hope to show in this passage?
A. Dan Brown knew his book wasn't based on fact.
B. The Da Vinci Code is based on fact.
C. Sony's movie The Da Vinci Code is better than Dan Brown's book.
D. The Priory of Sion was a hoax.
Câu 67: What is true about the real Priory of Sion?

A. It was started in 1956 by Pierre Plantard
B. It is connected to the leaders of France.
C. It has a secret about Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.
D. Its leader used to be Leonardo Da Vinci.
Câu 68: Why did Plantard put documents in the National Library of France?
A. He wanted Henry Lincoln to find them there.
B. He believed that he knew the truth and wanted to tell everyone.
C. He wanted people to believe that the Priory began in 1099.
D. So that Gerard de Sede's book would sell more copies.
Câu 69: According to the passage, who did NOT know about the creation of the Priory of Sion hoax?
A. Gerard de Sede
B. Philippe de Cherisey
C. Pierre Plantard
D. Henry Lincoln
Câu 70: Which claim was NOT made in The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail?
A. The Priory of Sion began in 1099.
B. The Priory of Sion protects the descendants of Jesus Christ.
C. Pierre Plantard created the Secret Dossiers of Henri Lobineau.
D. Isaac Newton was a leader of the Priory of Sion.

V. Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Broad-tailed hummingbirds often nest in quaking, slender deciduous trees with smooth, graygreen bark found in the Colorado Rockies of the Western United States. After flying some 2,000
kilometres north from where they have wintered in Mexico, the hummingbirds need six weeks to build a
nest, incubate their eggs, and raise the chicks. A second nest is feasible only if the first fails early in the
season. Quality, not quantity, is what counts in hummingbird reproduction.

A nest on the lowest intact branch of an aspen will give a hummingbird a good view, a clear flight
patch, and protection for her young. Male hummingbirds claim feeding territories in open meadows
where, from late May through June, they mate with females coming to feed but take no part in nesting.
Thus when the hen is away to feed, the nest is unguarded. While the smooth bark of the aspen trunk
generally offers a poor grip for the claws of a hungry squirrel or weasel, aerial attacks, from a hawk, owl,
or gray jay, are more likely.
The choice of where to build a nest is based not only on the branch itself but also on what hangs
over it. A crooked deformity in the nest branch, a second, unusually close branch overhead, or proximity
to part of a trunk bowed by a past ice storm are features that provide shelter and make for an attractive
nest site. Scarcely larger than a halved golf ball, the nest is painstaking constructed of spider webs and
plant down, decorated and camouflaged outside with paper-like bits of aspen bark held together with
more strands of spider silk. By early June it will hold two pea-sized eggs, which each weigh one-seventh
of the mother’s weight, and in sixteen to nineteen days, two chicks.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE DA VINCI CODE
In 2006, Sony Pictures released a remarkable and intriguing film entitled The Da
Vinci Code, based on the novel of the same name by Dan Brown. In the film, religious leaders
and professors are in a race to discover the secrets of an organization called the Priory of Sion.
The biggest secret kept by this organization is supposedly that Jesus Christ and a woman whose
name is recorded in the Bible as Mary Magdalene had a child, and that their family 55 line
continues to this day. In a TV interview, Dan Brown stated that, in his book, "all of the art,
architecture, secret rituals, secret societies, all of that is historical fact." However, while the
Priory of Sion did exist, it's nothing like the one which is so central to The Da Vinci Code.


The Priory of Sion was started in France in 1956 by a skillful liar named Pierre
Plantard. Priory means religious house, and Sion was a hill in the town of Annemasse, where the
Priory was started by Plantard and four of 60 his friends. At first, their group fought for housing
rights for local people, and their offices were at Plantard's apartment. The organization promised
to benefit the weak and the oppressed, and to do good in general. However, there was a darker
side to the Plantard's Priory.
Plantard actually hoped to use the Priory of Sion to claim to be a descendant of
French kings. Between the years 1961 and 1984, Plantard created the enigma of a much more
powerful Priory than his insignificant organization. 65 First, in order to give the impression that
the Priory began in 1099, Plantard and his friend Philippe de Cherisey created documents, called

the Secret Dossiers of Henri Lobineau, and illegally put them into the National Library of
France. Next, Plantard got author Gerard de Sede to write a book in 1967 using the false
documents; the book became very popular in France. This phenomenon is similar to the
popularity of The Da Vinci Code, where a book based on false information or speculation
becomes popular. 70
Matters were complicated when in 1969, an English actor and science-fiction
writer named Henry Lincoln read Gerard de Sede's book. Lincoln did not know of Plantard and
his schemes, and may have been a victim of the hoax. He seemed to believe what he read, and
jumped to even more wild conclusions, which he published in his 1982 book, The Holy Blood
and the Holy Grail. He and his co-authors declared as fact that the Priory started in 1099; that its
leaders included Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Victor Hugo; that the Priory protects the
descendants of Jesus 75 Christ and Mary Magdalene; and that these descendants ruled France
from A.D. 447 to 751. All this was based on reading a novel based on the false facts from
documents which were a hoax. Most modern historians do not consider Lincoln's book to be a
serious work of history.
How can we be so sure that Plantard created this hoax? Well, the best witness to a crime is the
criminal himself. Over 100 hundred letters between Plantard, de Cherisey, and de Sede, discovered by
researcher Jean-Luc 80 Chaumeil, show clearly that they were trying to pull an elaborate hoax. In fact, in
the 1990s, Plantard got in trouble with the law, and his house was searched. Within it were found many
false documents, most harmless, some of which said he was the true king of France. As a final
embarrassment, Plantard had to swear in a court of law that the enigma of the Priory of Sion was the work
of his imagination.
Câu 66: What does the author hope to show in this passage?
A. Dan Brown knew his book wasn't based on fact.
B. The Da Vinci Code is based on fact.
C. Sony's movie The Da Vinci Code is better than Dan Brown's book.
D. The Priory of Sion was a hoax.
Câu 67: What is true about the real Priory of Sion?
A. It was started in 1956 by Pierre Plantard
B. It is connected to the leaders of France.

C. It has a secret about Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.
D. Its leader used to be Leonardo Da Vinci.
Câu 68: Why did Plantard put documents in the National Library of France?
A. He wanted Henry Lincoln to find them there.
B. He believed that he knew the truth and wanted to tell everyone.
C. He wanted people to believe that the Priory began in 1099.
D. So that Gerard de Sede's book would sell more copies.
Câu 69: According to the passage, who did NOT know about the creation of the Priory of Sion hoax?
A. Gerard de Sede
B. Philippe de Cherisey
C. Pierre Plantard
D. Henry Lincoln
Câu 70: Which claim was NOT made in The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail?
A. The Priory of Sion began in 1099.
B. The Priory of Sion protects the descendants of Jesus Christ.
C. Pierre Plantard created the Secret Dossiers of Henri Lobineau.
D. Isaac Newton was a leader of the Priory of Sion.
