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.

There are many theories of aging, but virtually all fall into the category of hypotheses with a minimum
of supporting evidence. One viewpoint is that aging occurs as the body's organ systems become less
efficient. Thus failures in the immune system, hormonal system, and nervous system could all produce
characteristics that we associate with aging. Following a different vein, many current researchers are
looking for evidence at the cellular and sub cellular level. It has been shown that cells such as human
fibroblasts (generalized tissue cells) grown in culture divide only a limited number of times and then die.
Only cancer cells seem immortal in this respect. Fibroblast cells from an embryo divide more times than
those taken from an adult. Thus some researchers believe that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part
of the cell's genetic makeup. Any event that disturbs the cell's genetic machinery such as mutation,
damaging chemicals in the cell's environment, or loss of genetic material, could cause cells to lose their
ability to divide and thus bring on aging. Other theories of aging look at different processes.

indicator of an individual person's status because there is a tremendous amount of variation from one
individual to the next in regard to the rate at which biological age changes occur. For example, on the
average, aging results in people losing much of their ability to perform strenuous activities, yet some
elderly individuals are excellent marathon runners.

Another type of aging is cosmetic aging, which consists of changes in outward appearance with
advancing age. This includes changes in the body and changes in other aspects of a person's appearance,
such as the style of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and the use of a hearing aid. Like
chronological aging, it is frequently used to estimate the degree to which other types of aging have
occurred. However, it is an inaccurate indicator for either purpose because of variation among individuals
and because a person's appearance is affected by many factors that are not part of aging, including illness,
poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight.

Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and
overbooked hotels? Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see the beautiful colors of
autumn in the Catskills.

These rugged mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City, are famous for
the legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels that sprang up in the
region during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to escape the heat of New York City found the
Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s there were over
500 resorts and hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities. Famous
comedians like Jackie Gleason, Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start touring the hotel clubs here.
Since the introduction of air-conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families have stopped coming to
the Catskills in such large numbers, choosing instead more distant locations at different times of the year.
Many of the Catskill hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded and changed their
facilities to meet the needs of today's visitors.

Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors of
the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm operates.

There are also hundreds of miles of scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for
spotting bald eagles. For more information on vacations in the Catskills, call the Office of Public
Information.

Question 46: What is the author's main purpose in this passage?
A. To promote the Catskills as a vacation destination.
B. To introduce visitors to famous Catskills entertainers.
C. To describe the history of the Catskills region.

Question 44: Giải:

Sự khác nhau giữa say talk, speak và tell

1. SAY: “say" là động từ mang nghĩa "nói ra" hoặc “nói rằng", chú trọng nội dung được nói ra.
E.g: + She said (that) she had a flu.

+ You've said “I love you" in Korean. Could you say that again?

Ở cả 2 ví dụ trên, ta thấy rằng sau "say” là đại từ “that" nhằm mục đích nhắc lại cụm danh từ ở phía trước,
hoặc là một mệnh đề (VD1). Chúng ta dùng “say" để nhấn mạnh những gì chúng ta muốn nói. Đó chính là
nội dung được nói ra.

2. TELL: "tell" là động từ mang nghĩa "kể, nói với ai điêu gì đó (tell somebody something), bảo ai làm gì
(tell somebody to do something), cho ai biết điều gì (tell somebody about something)"

E.g: + My grandmother is telling me a fairy story.

(Bà tôi đang kể cho tôi nghe một câu chuyện cổ tích)
+ Please tell me the truth.

(Làm ơn cho tôi nghe sự thật)

+ Tell him to clean the floor as soon as possible.
(Bảo cậu ta lau nhà càng sớm càng tốt)

+ Tell me something about yourself.
(Cho tôi biết vài thông tin về bạn)

3. SPEAK: Đối với động từ này, khi chúng ta dùng nó là khi chúng ta nhấn mạnh dến việc "phát ra tiếng,

phát ra lời" mang nghĩa "nói chuyện với ai (speak to somebody), phát biểu, nói ra lời", "speak" thơng
thường theo sau nó khơng có tân ngữ, nếu có thì đó là danh từ chỉ thứ tiếng.

E.g: + She is mute. She can't speak. / (Cơ ấy khơng nói (ra lời) được vì cơ ấy bị câm)

+ She's going to speak in public about her new MV. / (Cô ay sắp phát biểu trước công chúng về MV
mới của cô ấy)

+ She can speak English fluently. / (Cô ấy nói tiếng Anh thành thạo)

+ "Can I speak to Susan?"/ (Tơi có thể nói chuyện với cơ Susan được khơng?)

4. TALK: Và cuối cùng, "talk" thì sao? "talk" cũng mang nghĩa là "nói chuyện với ai" "trao đổi với ai về
chuyện gì" nhưng khác "speak" ở chỗ nó nhấn mạnh đến động tác "nói" hơn.

E.g:

+ They are talking about you. / (Họ đang nói về bạn đấy) (chú trọng động tác nói)
+ They are Vietnamese American, so sometimes they talk to each other in Vietnamese.
- say that + mệnh đề

PART II. IN ABOUT 140 WORDS, WRITE A PARAGRAPH ABOUT DISADVANTAGES OF
STUDYING ABROAD

SAMPLE WRITING:

There are some drawbacks of studying in other countries. The main disadvantage of studying overseas is
that they have to face financial problems. It is true that tuition fees and the cost of living such as
accommodation, food and bills in foreign nations are higher than those in their home country, so they find it
more difficult to live and study abroad. Furthermore, when attending universities or colleges in other
countries, they cannot avoid homesickness and loneliness. If children study overseas, they might feel bored
and lonely, which leads to a big culture shock. In addition, language barrier is a problem which students
have to face because they can find it difficult to speak a foreign language. Some learners also have
difficulty in making friends and adapting to a new environment. In short, studying in their foreign countries
should be taken into consideration because of its drawbacks.

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

Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins hold about 300
million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the
atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than
24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents. This vast amount is required to
replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus,
the hydrosphere permits organic existence.

The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other
liquid. One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract

on cooling. For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the
hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer
season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which
moderates climate, would be notably absent.

Another outstanding charateristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of
all liquids and solids except ammonia. This characterisitc enables the oceans to absorb and store vast
quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes. In addition, water dissolves more substances
than any other liquid. It is this characteristic which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals
which have been washed down from the continents. In several areas of the world these minerals are being
commercially exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practised, potash is extracted from the Dead
Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast.

Question 45: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to ___________.

A. illustrate the importance of conserving water B. describe the properties and uses of

water

C. compare water with other liquids D. explain how water is used in
commerce and industry

Question 46: The phrase “this vast amount” in line 4 of paragraph 1 refers to __________ .
A. 80,000 million cubic miles of water B. 24,000 cubic miles of rain

C. 80,000 cubic miles of water D. 300 million cubic miles of water
Question 47: The word “replenish” in paragraph 1 can best replaced by ________ .

A. fill again B. replace C. evaporate D. form

Question 48: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because ________ .

</div>
(39)<div class='page_container' data-page=39>

C. they do not need oxygen D. ice floats
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characterisitic of water?

A. Water can absorb heat B. Water is good solvent.

C. Water contracts on cooling D. Water expands when it is frozen
Question 50: The word “outstanding” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________

A. exceptionally good B. special C. amusing D. important
Question 51: According the passage, the hydrosphere is NOT ___________ .

A. the part of the earth covered by water B. responsible for all forms of life
C. in danger of freezing over D. a source of natural resources
Question 52: The author’s tone in the passage can best be described as ________ .

A. dispassionate B. speculative C. biased D. dogmatic
Question 53: The author organizes the passage by _______.

A. juxtaposition of true and untrue ideas B. comparison and contrast
C. general statement followed by examples D. hypothesis and proof

Question 54: Which of the following statements would be the most likely to begin the paragraph

A. Water has the ability to erode land

B. Droughts and flooding are two types of disasters associated with water

In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for
example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software
business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and
engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers
keep tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the
bed to hold the company's cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several
bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold,
ASK began to grow. It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock.

Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still face
hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still
dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small. But
the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead.

Question 55: What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the business
world.

B.The computer is especially lucrative for women today.
C. Women are better at small business than men are.

D. Women today are opening more business of their own.
Question 56:The word “excluded” is closest meaning to _________ .

world EXCEPT _________ .

A.Women were required to stay at home with their families.
B. Women lacked ability to work in business.

C.Women faced discrimination in business.
D.Women were not trained in business.
Question 58: The word “that” refers to _________.

A. a woman becomes chairman of the board.

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 41 to 50.

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius , they will cause a disaster.
According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious
parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail.
Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.

However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in
a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very supportive of
their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking
him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers
twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the
trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and
they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they
enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is

always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

Question 45. The phrase "crazy about" in the passage mostly means ……….

A. "surprised at" B. "extremely interested in" 
C. "completely unaware of" D. "confused about"

Question 46. Winston’s parents push their son so much and he ……….. 
A. has won a lot of piano competitions B. cannot learn much music from them
C. has become a good musician D. is afraid to disappoint them

Question 49. The word "unwilling" in the passage mostly means ………..
