The world's oceans are so vast that they can cope with the present levels of pollution. However,
little is known about the long-term effects of such slow poisoning. The most serious problem of modern

As a result, it is becoming extremely difficult to grow enough to feed the world's rapidly increasing
population. A way of protecting all wild life on the earth must also be found as many species are in
danger of disappearing completely from the face of the earth. The smoke in the atmosphere, for example,
is increasing so much that the amount of sunlight has been reduced in many cities. Man's whole
environment is being changed in a serious way.

Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more

paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber,
dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin may add
weight and texture.

The Hollywood sign in the hills that line the northern border of Los Angeles is a famous
landmark recognized the world over. The white – painted, 50 – foot – high, sheet mental letters
can be seen from great distances across the Los Angeles basin.

The sign was not constructed, as one might suppose, by the movie business as a means of
celebrating the importance of Hollywood to this industry; instead, it was first constructed in 1923
as means of advertising homes for sale in a 500 – acre-housing subdivision in a part of Los
Angeles called “Hollywood land”. The sign that was constructed at time, of course, said
“Hollywood land”. Over the years, people began referring to the area by the shorten version
“Hollywood” and after the sign and its site were donated to the city in 1945, the last four letters
were removed.

The sign suffered for years of disrepair, and in 1973, it needed to be completely replaced,

at a cost of $ 27,700 per letter. Various celebrities were instrumental in helping to raise needed
funds. Rock star Alice Cooper, for example, bought an O in memory of Groucho Marx, and Hugh
Hefner of Playboy fame held a benefit party to raise the money for the Y. The construction of the
new sign was finally completed in 1978.

2. Why can animals perceive these changes when humans can not ?

A. Animals are more intelligent than humans.

B. Humans don’t know where to look.

C. By running around, they can feel the vibrations.

D. Animals have certain instincts that humans don’t possess.

3. If scientists can accurately predict earthquakes, there will be ...

Part III. Read the passage then choose the correct answer to each question. Circle A, B ,C or D

The play now on at the New Theater as part of the Eastern Arts Festival is not among the best
plays for which the director, Army Fielding, has been responsible.The action takes place in the home
of Professor Spear. One night his landlady comes to the house for a chat. After inviting her in, the
professor hears a sound and thinking it is a burglar coming to rob the house, fires his gun. By mistake
the wrong person is shot and the thief gets away. The scene of the second act is a law court, in which
everyone waits to find out if the professor is guilty of murder.

I did not care for the acting in some cases. Norman Jones is normally seen in some comedies
and it is not satisfactory as the professor. He doesn’t look like a wise old man. Also Simon Fry, as
the servant, shouted at the top of his voice through the play. The hit of the evening, however, was
James Smith as the judge. On the whole, the play appeared to be a little out of date. I can think of
many other plays which would have been more suitable for a group of clever young actors to
perform. The play continues until the end of the month.

1. The passage is from ________.

A. a review of the play. B. an instruction to a book.

C. a letter. D. an advertisement.

2. What is the writer trying to do ?

A. To give advice to the writer of the play. B. To warn people not to go and see the play.
C. To give his own opinion of the play. D. To persuade the director to change the play.

</div>
(61)<div class='page_container' data-page=61>

A. there were not enough actors for the parts.

B. the actors would have performed better in a modern play.
C. the play was being performed at the wrong time of the year.
D. the play was a comedy but the audience did not find it amusing.

4. The writer thought the actor who played the professor was unsatisfactory because ____.

A. he made the audience laugh too much. B. he did not look like a professor .

C. he had the wrong kind of moustache. D. he was not clever enough to play the part

5. Who, among the four following persons, will probably enjoy the play ?

A. “I don’t care much for serious subjects. I like comedies, especially about the young. Norman
Jones

is great, so young and lively. I like the way he jumps about the stage. He can never stand still.”
B. “I only like going to the theatre when there is something on with a lot of songs. Simon Fry is a
good

singer. I saw him in a show last year. I hope he’ll be singing again when I next go to the theater.”

C. “I really prefer plays with a good story . I like to wonder about what to happen in the end. I’m a
great

fan of James Smith.”

D. “I prefer modern plays . This director did one that I liked last year. There were a group of actors
on a

bare stage without any scenery . It showed what is wrong with modern society.”

Part IV. Read the pasage then choose the word or phrase that best fits each space by
circling A, B , C or D.

WHAT IS THE BEAUTY IN A PERSON?

It is said that what one (1)___considers beautiful may not be beautiful to another. (2)___
beauty is something that (3)___not only to the eyes, but also the other senses. I think true beauty
makes you see beyond the lovely sight. It will give you insight or realization of something (4)____

When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their (5)___attractiveness. Of course, a
beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to (6)___. But I find that the most memorable ”beautiful

(7)__kind of beauty in people that attracts us greatly is what known as the inside beauty.
People with this kind of beauty have attained inner peace. They usually care about their fellow -man,
and try to right the justice in this world. As you know, Nelson Mandela, Princess Diana and Mother
Teresa are well-known for these personalities.

In fact, around us, we know many people who are always ready to lend (8)___to people in

trouble. Many people in our city provide (9)___of floods in Mekong Delta, the disabled or the
poor.... with clothes, money and food. Many young go to rural, mountainous or island areas to help
people there... We greatly admire the beauty of these people because they make the world better.
This inner beauty gives a certain radiance to their looks.

In short, everyone has (10)___ idea of beauty, and we need to have things, people and places

A NOBLE GIFT

One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statute of Liberty, was presented to

the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statute,
which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual
figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially
constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found
for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York
Harbour. By 1884, a statute which was 151 feet tall, had been erected in Paris. The following
year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statute had been
put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since
then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have
passed through New York Harbour to make their home in America.

I live in the small village calls Henfield. There are about 700 men here. The village is quiet
and the life is slowly and easy. We never had to queue in shops or bank. People never throw his

rubbish on the roads, but the village is always clean. The air is also very clean because of there is
not much traffic. The people here are much friendlier than those in a city. If someone has a
problem, there is always people who can help. However, one thing I don't like about Henfield is
that there's not much to do in the evening. We haven't got any cinemas or theaters. But I still
prefer village life for life in a big city.
