III. 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
Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming. Scientists
have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and
birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration
patterns due to warmer temperatures.
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate towards the poles and up mountainsides towards higher
elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In
many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland blocking
their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those found in polar
and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For example,
polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but have nowhere
farther north to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated
that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further warming.
The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and
even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough and may
disappear.
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer
ocean temperatures can cause coral to "bleach", a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral.
Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching and
death of coral reefs around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and
increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.
(From "Global Warming" by Michael Mastrandrea and Stephen H.Schneider)

XI. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

"Family" includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with every day,
such as your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and stepparents. These are probably the people you are closest
to and with whom you spend the most time. Having healthy relationships with your family members is both
important and difficult.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than one
family together in the same house), and gay and lesbian parents - just to name a few. No matter the "type" of
family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. Many times, however, families
become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion. These emotions are natural and
normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences with them. The worst time for most families, is
during a divorce.
By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other people, it is possible to
create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring and support; they can be
sources of lifelong strength for all individuals. What's more, remember that communication is key to resolving
conflict. While it may seem that your siblings are constantly present to annoy you or boss you around, they are
also there to communicate. Thus, use your family's presence to your advantage - communicate with each other,
develop ways to value boundaries, and build trust and respect.

I. 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
"Family" includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with every day,
such as your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and stepparents. These are probably the people you are closest
to and with whom you spend the most time. Having healthy relationships with your family members is both
important and difficult.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than one
family together in the same house), and gay and lesbian parents - just to name a few. No matter the "type" of
family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. Many times, however, families
become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion. These emotions are natural and
normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences with them. The worst time for most families, is
during a divorce.
By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other people, it is possible to
create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring and support; they can be
sources of lifelong strength for all individuals. What's more, remember that communication is key to resolving
conflict. While it may seem that your siblings are constantly present to annoy you or boss you around, they are
also there to communicate. Thus, use your family's presence to your advantage - communicate with each other,
develop ways to value boundaries, and build trust and respect.

X. 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
Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming. Scientists
have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and
birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration
patterns due to warmer temperatures.
Trang 4/4 - Mã đề: 211
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate towards the poles and up mountainsides towards higher
elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In
many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland blocking
their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those found in polar
and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For example,
polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but have nowhere
farther north to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated
that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further warming.
The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and
even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough and may
disappear.
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer
ocean temperatures can cause coral to "bleach", a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral.
Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching and
death of coral reefs around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and
increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.
(From "Global Warming" by Michael Mastrandrea and Stephen H.Schneider)
Câu 39. The word "fragile" in paragraph 4 most probably mean _______.
A. pretty hard
B. rather strong
C. very large
D. easily damaged
Câu 40. Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flowers to _______.
A. lose color
B. become lighter
C. die instantly
D. bloom earlier
Câu 41. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Influence of climate changes on human lifestylesB. Effects of global warming on animals and plants
C. Global warming and species migration.
D. Global warming and possible solutions
Câu 42. According to paragraph 2, when their habitats grow warmer, animals tend to move _______.
A. north - westwards and up mountainsides toward higher elevations.
B. south - eastwards and down mountainsides toward lower elevations.
C. towards the poles and up mountainsides toward higher elevations.
D. towards the North Pole and down mountainsides toward lower elevations.
Câu 43. According to the passage, if some species are not able to adjust quickly to warmer temperature, _____.
A. they may be endangered
B. they move to tropical forests.
C. they will certainly need water
D. they can begin to develop
Câu 44. It is mentioned in the passage that if the global temperature rose by 2 or 3 Celsius degrees _______.

and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For example,
polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but have nowhere
farther north to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated
that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further warming.
The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and
even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough and may
disappear.
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer
ocean temperatures can cause coral to "bleach", a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral.
Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching and
death of coral reefs around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and
increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.

"Family" includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with every day,

Trang 3/4 - Mã đề: 279
to and with whom you spend the most time. Having healthy relationships with your family members is both
important and difficult.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than one
family together in the same house), and gay and lesbian parents - just to name a few. No matter the "type" of
family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. Many times, however, families
become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion. These emotions are natural and
normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences with them. The worst time for most families, is
during a divorce.
By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other people, it is possible to
create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring and support; they can be
sources of lifelong strength for all individuals. What's more, remember that communication is key to resolving
conflict. While it may seem that your siblings are constantly present to annoy you or boss you around, they are
also there to communicate. Thus, use your family's presence to your advantage - communicate with each other,
develop ways to value boundaries, and build trust and respect.
Câu 30. Which of the following is the darkest period in a family relationship?
A. The legal ending of a marriage
B. The hatred among sisters and brothers

IX. 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
Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming. Scientists
have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and
birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration
patterns due to warmer temperatures.
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate towards the poles and up mountainsides towards higher
elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In
many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland blocking
their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those found in polar
and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For example,
polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but have nowhere
farther north to go.

that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further warming.
