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 30 to 34 and translate into Vietnaese

Scientists know that there were wolves on Earth about one million years ago. Dogs, on the other hand,
have not been on Earth nearly as long. The oldest dog remains, found in Germany, are about 14,000 years old.
Scientists have proven that dogs are descended from wolves. Though wolves and dogs share some of the same
genes, they are not exactly alike. In fact, there are as many differences as there are similarities between the two. 
First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger feet, and a broader
skull than dogs. They also walk differently than dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its heels raised up from the

ground. This is more similar to a cat’s walk than a dog’s.

Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This means that
dogs have been brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship. Wolves have not been
domesticated. They are wild animals. Having a dog as a pet is like having a juvenile wolf. A young wolf will turn
into a mature adult, while a young dog does not mature. A dog might seem smart by performing tricks for people. 
Wolves need to be smart to survive in the wild. While it may not be impossible to have a wolf as a pet, scientists
are of the opinion than a wolf could never be domesticated in the same way as a dog.

It is important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each should be
appreciated in its own habitat or home.

Question 30: The passage mainly discusses __________.

A. the differences and similarities between wolves and dogs
B. the similarities between the wolf and the dog

C. the way to distinguish between a wolf and a dog
D. the great differences between the wolf and the dog
Question 31: The word "they" in paragraph 1 refers to ______.

A. wolves and dogs B. wolves C. dogs D. scientists
Question 32: The word "mature" in paragraph 3 mostly means ______.

A. fully grown B. early rise C. fully blossom D. completely evolve
Question 33: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the dog?

A. A dog walks the same way as a young wolf does.
B. Dogs provide human beings with companionship.
C. A dog might be smart enough to perform tricks.

D. Dogs share some genes with those of wolves.

Question 34: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned about the wolf? 
A. Wolves have been living on Earth for about a million years.

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 35 to 42 and tranlate into Vietnamese

It was one of the greatest art thefts in history. In March 1990, two thieves stole 13 pieces of art from the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Valued at $500 million, it was the largest private
art theft ever, and for decades, it has gone unsolved.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is unique in the art world. Founded in 1903, it is the only museum 
where the art and the building are part of one person’s private collection. Gardner was a collector of art who
acquired many pieces on her travels to Europe. She eventually opened her museum to the public so she could 
share her art with the world.

Two thieves disguised as police officers knocked on the museum’s door late at night on St. Patrick’s Day. 
Because of the holiday, there were festivities all over the city. The “police officers” told the two guards that there 
was a problem outside. Once inside, one of the “police officers” looked at the guards. “I have an arrest
warrant for you,” he said. That’s when he put handcuffs on the guards.

The thieves stole art from all over the museum. During the robbery, they set off an alarm when they tried
to take a Rembrandt off a wall, but they quickly smashed it. The thieves finally left the museum 81 minutes later 
with their stolen art. The stolen art included The Storm on the Sea of Galilee by Rembrandt, Landscape with an 
Obelisk by Flinck, La Sortie de Pesage by Degas, and The Concert by Vermeer. The next morning, workers found 
the art gone and the guards still tied up. They immediately called in the police and an investigation began.

Some called the robbery “dumb” because paintings are notoriously hard to sell, but others claimed the
thieves were very professional. They weren’t art experts and had likely been paid to steal the art. Today, the art
has still not been found. Empty frames hang where the paintings were. They are reminders of what was

stolen.
