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 .

Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot
find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is
18.
The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is
finding a job. David's firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each month.
But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money.
Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and
profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit cards.
He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His company
has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot
drive.
David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six
O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew 1
had already written some programs," he said.
"I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but actually that's being pessimistic. I hope it will come to more than that
this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But most his
spare time is spent working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But 1 had been studying it in
books and 'magazines for four years in my spare time. 1 knew what 1 wanted to do and never considered staying
on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway."
David added: "I would like to earn a million and 1 suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know
when the market might disappear."
Question 11. Why is David different from other young people at his age?
A. He earns an extremely high salary.
B. He lives at home with his parents.
C. He does not go out much.
D. He is not unemployed.
Question 12. David's greatest problem is _______
A. learning to drive.
B. spending his salary.

C. inventing computer games.
D. making the banks treat him as an adult.
Question 13. He was employed by the company because _______
A. he works very hard.
B. he had written some computer programs.
C. he had worked in a computer shop.
D. he had learnt to use computers at school.
Question 14. He left school after taking O-levels because _______
A. he was afraid of getting too old to start computing.
B. he did not enjoy school.
C. he wanted to work with computers and staying at school did not help him.
D. he wanted to earn a lot of money.
Question 15. Why does David think he might retire early?
A. He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire.
B. You have to be young to write computer programs.
C. He thinks his firm might go bankrupt.
D. He thinks computer games might not always sell so well.
Question 16. The word " pessimistic " in the reading passage probably means_______
A. easy
B. negative
C. optimistic
D. positive
Question 17. The word " releases " in the reading passage can be replaced by_______
A. imports
B. holds

answer to each of the questions from 38 to 45.
A rather surprisingly geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world's largest
and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water
is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this
block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick glacier above
Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperature (the lowest ever recorded on Earth) on the surface.
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area.
Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It
was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientist aware of the tremendous size of
the lake; satellite -borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating
on the water of the lake.
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctic is of interest to the scientific community
because of potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of
years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in
more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the
lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake
without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this.
Question 38. The passage mentions which of the following as a reason for the importance of Lake Vostok?
A. It may contain uncontaminated microbes
B. It can be studied using radio waves
C. It has already been contaminated.
D. It may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light.
Question 39. All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it______
A. was conducted by air
B. made use of radio waves
C. did not measure the exact size of the lake
D. was controlled by a satellite
Question 40. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses
A. Problems with satellite- borne radar equipment
B. the harsh climate of Antarctica.

C. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica
D. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it
Question 41. The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could be best be replaced by which of the following?
A. Pieces of dust
B. Tiny organisms
C. Rays of light
D. Trapped bubbles
Question 42. Which of the following is closet in meaning to "frigid" in paragraph 1?
A. Rarely recorded
B. Extremely cold
C. Never changing
D. Quite harsh
Question 43. The purpose of the passage is to ______
A. explain how Lake Vostok was discovered
B. provide satellite data concerning Antarctica
C. present an expected aspect of Antarctica's geography.
D. discuss future plans for Lake Vostok
Question 44. It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if ______
A. radio waves were not used
B. Antarctica were not so cold
C. There were no lake
D. the lake was not so big
Question 45. What is true of Lake Vostok?
A. It is beneath a thick slab of ice
B. It is completely frozen
C. It is heated by the sun
D. It is not a saltwater lake

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 1988, for the first time in British history, a National Curriculum was introduced. The National
Curriculum tells pupils which subjects they have to study, what they must learn and when they have to take
assessment tests.
Between the ages of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education)
exams. Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for GCSE, as well as a half GCSE in a foreign
language and Technology. In addition, they must also be taught Physical Education, Religious Education and Sex

Education, although they do not take exams in these subjects.
At the age of 16, pupils can leave school. If pupils stay on, they usually take A (Advanced) levels, AS
(Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National Vocational Qualifications). It is quite common to
combine, for example, two A levels with one AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ.
Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History. To go to university,
pupils usually need two or three A levels.
AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level German pupils take the
A-level German language exam, but do not take the A-level German Literature exam.
GNVQs are vocational qualifications. Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such as Business, Leisure and
Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design. One GVNQ (at advanced level) is equal to two A levels.

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 25 to 32.
A rather surprisingly geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world's largest
and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water
is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this
block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick glacier above
Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperature (the lowest ever recorded on Earth) on the surface.


The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area.
Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It
was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientist aware of the tremendous size of
the lake; satellite -borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating
on the water of the lake.
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctic is of interest to the scientific community
because of potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of
years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in
more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the
lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake
without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this.
Câu 25. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses
A. Problems with satellite- borne radar equipment
B. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica
C. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it
D. the harsh climate of Antarctica.
Câu 26. The passage mentions which of the following as a reason for the importance of Lake Vostok?

A. It may contain uncontaminated microbes
B. It may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light.
C. It has already been contaminated.
D. It can be studied using radio waves
Câu 27. Which of the following is closet in meaning to "frigid" in paragraph 1?
A. Extremely cold
B. Quite harsh
C. Rarely recorded
D. Never changing
Câu 28. What is true of Lake Vostok?
A. It is completely frozen
B. It is heated by the sun
C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice
D. It is not a saltwater lake
Câu 29. The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could be best be replaced by which of the following?

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 .
Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot
find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is
18.
The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is
finding a job. David's firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each month.
But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money.
Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and
profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit cards.
He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His company
has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot
drive.
David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six
O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew 1


had already written some programs," he said.
"I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but actually that's being pessimistic. I hope it will come to more than that
this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But most his
spare time is spent working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But 1 had been studying it in

books and 'magazines for four years in my spare time. 1 knew what 1 wanted to do and never considered staying
on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway."
David added: "I would like to earn a million and 1 suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know
when the market might disappear."
Câu 44. Why is David different from other young people at his age?
A. He earns an extremely high salary.
B. He lives at home with his parents.
C. He does not go out much.
D. He is not unemployed.
Câu 45. David's greatest problem is _______
A. learning to drive.
B. inventing computer games.
C. spending his salary.
D. making the banks treat him as an adult.
Câu 46. He was employed by the company because _______
A. he works very hard.
B. he had written some computer programs.
C. he had learnt to use computers at school.
D. he had worked in a computer shop.
Câu 47. He left school after taking O-levels because _______
A. he wanted to earn a lot of money.
B. he did not enjoy school.
C. he wanted to work with computers and staying at school did not help him.
D. he was afraid of getting too old to start computing.
Câu 48. Why does David think he might retire early?
A. You have to be young to write computer programs.
B. He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire.
C. He thinks computer games might not always sell so well.
D. He thinks his firm might go bankrupt.
Câu 49. The word " pessimistic " in the reading passage probably means_______

A. negative
B. positive
C. optimistic
D. easy
Câu 50. The word " releases " in the reading passage can be replaced by_______
A. imports
B. holds
C. discharges
D. dissolves

In 1988, for the first time in British history, a National Curriculum was introduced. The National
Curriculum tells pupils which subjects they have to study, what they must learn and when they have to take
assessment tests.
Between the ages of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education)
exams. Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for GCSE, as well as a half GCSE in a foreign
language and Technology. In addition, they must also be taught Physical Education, Religious Education and Sex
Education, although they do not take exams in these subjects.
At the age of 16, pupils can leave school. If pupils stay on, they usually take A (Advanced) levels, AS
(Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National Vocational Qualifications). It is quite common to
combine, for example, two A levels with one AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ.
Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History. To go to university,

pupils usually need two or three A levels.
AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level German pupils take the
A-level German language exam, but do not take the A-level German Literature exam.
GNVQs are vocational qualifications. Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such as Business, Leisure and
Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design. One GVNQ (at advanced level) is equal to two A levels.

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.
Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot
find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is
18.
The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is
finding a job. David's firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each month.
But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money.


Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and
profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit cards.
He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His company

has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot
drive.
David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six
O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew 1
had already written some programs," he said.
"I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but actually that's being pessimistic. I hope it will come to more than that
this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But most his
spare time is spent working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But 1 had been studying it in
books and 'magazines for four years in my spare time. 1 knew what 1 wanted to do and never considered staying
on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway."
David added: "I would like to earn a million and 1 suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know
when the market might disappear."
Câu 36. Why is David different from other young people at his age?
A. He lives at home with his parents.
B. He does not go out much.
C. He is not unemployed.
D. He earns an extremely high salary.
Câu 37. David's greatest problem is _______
A. learning to drive.
B. spending his salary.
C. making the banks treat him as an adult.
D. inventing computer games.
Câu 38. He was employed by the company because _______
A. he had learnt to use computers at school.
B. he had written some computer programs.
C. he had worked in a computer shop.
D. he works very hard.
Câu 39. He left school after taking O-levels because _______
A. he wanted to work with computers and staying at school did not help him.

B. he was afraid of getting too old to start computing.
C. he wanted to earn a lot of money.
D. he did not enjoy school.
Câu 40. Why does David think he might retire early?
A. He thinks his firm might go bankrupt.
B. You have to be young to write computer programs.
C. He thinks computer games might not always sell so well.
D. He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire.

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 43 to 50.
A rather surprisingly geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world's largest
and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water
is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this
block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick glacier above
Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperature (the lowest ever recorded on Earth) on the surface.
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area.
Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It
was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientist aware of the tremendous size of

the lake; satellite -borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating
on the water of the lake.
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctic is of interest to the scientific community
because of potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of
years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in
more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the
lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake
without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this.
Câu 43. The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could be best be replaced by which of the following?
A. Tiny organisms

C. Pieces of dust
D. Trapped bubbles
Câu 44. It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if ______
A. Antarctica were not so cold
B. radio waves were not used
C. the lake was not so big
D. There were no lake
Câu 45. What is true of Lake Vostok?
A. It is completely frozen
B. It is heated by the sun
C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice
D. It is not a saltwater lake
Câu 46. The passage mentions which of the following as a reason for the importance of Lake Vostok?
A. It may contain uncontaminated microbes
B. It has already been contaminated.
C. It may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light.
D. It can be studied using radio waves
Câu 47. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses

A. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica
B. the harsh climate of Antarctica.
C. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it
D. Problems with satellite- borne radar equipment
Câu 48. The purpose of the passage is to ______
A. explain how Lake Vostok was discovered
B. provide satellite data concerning Antarctica
C. present an expected aspect of Antarctica's geography.
