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 46 to 55.

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of desert animals
is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since man's inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of
water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single
drop.

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No
moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the
deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the
tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated.
Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the world. The secret of their
adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out
in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows
underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18
inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees. Question 46: The title for this passage could be______.

A. "Desert Plants" B. "Life Underground"

C. "Animal Life in a Desert Environment" D. "Man's Life in a Desert Environment"
Question 47: The word "tissues" in the passage mostly means______.

A. "the smallest units of living matter that can exist on their own"

B. "collections of cells that form the different parts of humans, animals and plants"
C. "very small living things that cause infectious disease in people, animals and plants"
D. "the simplest forms of life that exist in air, water, living and dead creatures and plants"

Question 48: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as______.
A. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert B. water is an essential part of his existence
C. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things

D. very few large animals are found in the desert

Question 49: The phrase "those forms" in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT______.

A. water-loving animals B. the coyote and the bobcat C. moist-skinned animals D. many large animals
Question 50: According to the passage, creatures in the desert______.

A. run and leap faster than those in the tangled forest B. run and leap more slowly than those in the tangled forest
C. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest

A. they sleep during the day B. they dig home underground

C. they are noisy and aggressive D. they are watchful and quiet
Question 52: The word "emaciated" in the passage mostly means

A. "living or growing in natural conditions, not kept in a house or on a farm"
B. "able to get what one wants in a clever way, especially by tricking or cheating"

C. "large and strong, difficult to control or deal with" D. "thin and weak because of lack of food and water"
Question 53: According to the passage, one characteristic of animals living in the desert is that______.

A. they are smaller and fleeter than forest animals B. they are less healthy than animals living in other places
C. they can hunt in temperature of 150 degrees D. they live in an accommodating environment

Question 54: The word "burrows" in the passage mostly means______.
A. "places where insects or other small creatures live and produce their young"

C. "structures made of metal bars in which animals or birds are kept"
D. "places where a particular type of animal or plant is normally found"
Question 55: We can infer from the passage that______.

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child's upbringing can give it the ability to do outstandingly well. Some
think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that
the potential for great achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.

It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child's ability to do well.
However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities. As one psychologist says, "To have a fast

car, you need both a good engine and fuel."

Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly
after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the
child's environment.

One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well. The
other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities.
That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.

This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment, the more a child's
intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child's family.
In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.

Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor of music said that
outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had

recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years' hard work and training in order to reach the level they were
capable of attaining.

People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
• Marry an intelligent person.

• Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
• Start a child's education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.

• Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who wants to become an
outstanding musician.

Question 56: The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires ________

A. an expensive education B. good musical instruments

C. parental support and encouragement D. wealthy and loving parents
Question 57: The word "others" used in the first paragraph refers to

A. other people B. other scientists C. other children D. other geniuses
Question 58: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that______.

A. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement B. intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability
C. ability depends both on intelligence and on environment D. different twins generally have different levels of ability
Question 59: Scientists chose twins for their study because______.

A. each twin has the same environment as his/her twin B. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
C. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities

D. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence

Question 60: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?
A. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured.

B. They practice playing their instruments for many years.

C. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas. D. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic.

A. their own interests B. their parents' interests

C. only their interests in musical instruments D. only their interests in computer games

C. you should try to move quickly and efficiently D. you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard
Question 64: The word "favorable" in the passage mostly means

A. "good for someone and making him/ her likely to be successful"
B. "helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people"

C. "of high quality or an acceptable standard" D. "under the control or in the power of somebody else"
Question 65: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT______.

Read the passage then circle the best option A, B, C or D to complete the following questions or statements:

Since the dawn of time, people have found ways to communicate with one another. Smoke signals and tribal drums were some of
the earliest forms of communication. Letters, carried by birds or by humans on foot or on horseback, made it possible for people to
communicate larger amounts of information between two places. The telegram and telephone set the stage for more modern means
of communication. With the invention of the cellular phone, communication itself has become mobile.

For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you and your friends use to keep in touch with family and friends, take
pictures, play games, or send text message. The definition of a cell phone is more specific: it is a hand- held wireless
communication device that sends and receives signals by way of small special areas called cells.

Walkie - talkies, telephones and cell phones are duplex communication devices: They make it possible for two people to talk to
each other. Cell phones and walkie- talkies are different from regular phones because they can be used in many different locations.
A walkie- talkie is sometimes called a half- duplex communication device because only one person can talk at a time. A cell phone is
a full- duplex device because it uses both frequencies at the same time. A walkie-talkie has only one channel. A cell phone has
more than a thousand channels. A walkie- talkie can transmit and receive signals across a distance of about a mile. A cell phone
can transmit and receive signals over hundreds of miles. In 1973, an electronic company called Motorola hired Martin Cooper to
work on wireless communication. Motorola and Bell Laboratories ( now AT& T) were in a race to invent the first portable

communication device. Martin Cooper won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone. On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the
first cell phone call to his opponent at AT& T while walking down the streets of New York city. People on the sidewalks gazed at
cooper in amazement. Cooper's phone was called A Motorola Dyna- Tac. It weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds ( as compared to
today's cell phones that weigh as little as 3 or 4 ounces)

After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone available to the general public.
After a decade, Motorola introduced the first cell phone for commercial use. The early cell phone and its service were both
expensive. The cell phone itself cost about $ 3, 500. In 1977, AT & T constructed a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago
with over 2, 000 customers. In 1981, a second cellular phone system was started in the Washington, D.C and Baltimore area. It took
nearly 37 years for cell phones to become available for general public use. Today, there are more than sixty million cell phone
customers with cell phones producing over thirty billion dollars per years.

During the 19th century, women in the U. S organized and participated in a large number of reform movements, including
movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, and most importantly to free slaves. Some
women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were
feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number of male abolitionists, including William
Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips also supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with men in anti- slavery
activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry into politics. They became
involved primarily in order to better their living conditions and the conditions of others.

 Read the passage and choose the correct answers.

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly
appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound
effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect
machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called 'synchronized sound' –
began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak.
As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone (máy hát), which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a
sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the
gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue
sequence.

In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These
signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization (sự đồng bộ hoá ). Short feature films were
produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us 'talking pictures'.

technology. One (91) alternative , however, depends much (92) less on technology - organic farming. Many organic farmers use

machinery, but (93) not chemical fertilizers or pesticides. (94) Instead of chemical soil enrichers, they use animal manure and plant 
parts not used as food -,natural,organic fertilizers that are clearly a renewable (95) source . Organic farmers also use alternatives 
(96) to pesticides; for example they may rely on natural predators of certain insect pests. (97) If the need arises, they can buy the 
eggs and larvae of these natural predators and introduce them into their crop fields. They use (98) other techniques to control pests 
as well, like planting certain crops together because one crop repels the other's pests. Organic farmers do not need a lot of land;(99)
