correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 35.
WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as
something that cannot be changed, but actually (31)______ is a lot that you can do to improve your
memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
explains the reason (32)______ schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with dates
from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on it
(33)______. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)______
and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces

stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that eating fish makes you brainy may be true after all Scientists have
discovered that the fats (35)______ in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help
to improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food too

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 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them

going for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out
so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage
has stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer's body and mind. In
order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain
chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces
for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure
bet to give a person energy.

Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to
show that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person's energy level. Another
problem is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the
ingredients in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about
believing all the claims energy drinks make (e says )t is plausible if you put all these things together,
you will get a good result (owever Dr Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative
impact on the body We just don t know at this point he says

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 43 to 50
What is extreme weather Why are people talking about it these days Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such extreme
weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimeters of rain fell on Rio de Janeiro in
24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimeters of rain in two days and there was record rainfall in
Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other parts
of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the last ten
years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer, 35,000
deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earth s climate Peter Miller says it s probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Niño and La Niña, originate in

the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects weather all
around the world On the other hand the temperature of the Earth s oceans is slowly but steadily going
up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that trap heat in the
Earth s atmosphere This heat warms up the atmosphere land and oceans Warmer oceans produce

more water vapor think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat, it produces steam
more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapor in the atmosphere has gone up by four percent
in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and typhoons that we are
increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that we need to face the reality
of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money in the future.

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 36 to 42.
Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know. Although the whale is
very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water. Whales have tails that end like
flippers. With just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale is so smooth that it
does not create any friction that can slow the whale down A whale s breathing hole is located on the
top of its head, so it can breathe without having to completely push its head out of the water. Whales
are protected from the cold seawater by body fat that is called blubber.
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviours, they are more similar to humans than fish. They
live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer
waters. The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert
the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle them.
When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One such case
occurred in 1988,
when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had begun to
freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great danger
to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe through. Volunteers from all
over soon turned up to help these creatures. They cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes
for the whales. These holes would also serve as guides for the whales so that they could swim to
warmer waters.
Question 36: Which of the following best describes the main idea of this passage?
A. Successful attempts to rescue whales all over the world.
B. Some remarkable similarities of whales to humans.
C. Whales as the largest, gentlest but vulnerable creatures.
D. Whales as the only animals to live in warm water.
Question 37: Whales can move easily in water thanks to their______.
A. tail and blubber
B. size and head
C. tail and skin
D. skin and head
Question 38: Where is the whale s breathing hole located

A. On its head
B. On its back
C. On its face
D. On its tail
Question 39: According to paragraph 2, the author mentions all of the following to show that whales
are more similar to humans EXCEPT
.
A. they do not desert the ill or injured members
B. they do not migrate from cooler to warmer waters
C. they live in family groups and travel in groups
D. the young stay with their parents for almost fifteen years
Question 40: The word tiny in paragraph 3 probably means___ .
A. very small
B. very deep
C. very fat
D. very ugly
Question 41: The word they in paragraph refers to
A. guides
B. holes
C. the whales
D. warmer waters
Question 42: According to the passage, why was the frozen ice on the sea surface a danger to whales?
A. Because they couldn t swim in icy cold water
B. Because they couldn t eat when the weather was too cold
C. Because whales couldn t breathe without sufficient oxygen
D. Because the water was too cold for them as they were warm-blooded.

It's called 42 - the name taken from the answer to the meaning of life, from the science fiction series
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 42 was founded by French technology billionaire Xavier Niel,

whose backing means there are no tuition fees and accommodation is free. Mr Niel and his co-founders

come from the world of technology and start-ups, and they are trying to do to education what Facebook
did to communication and Airbus to accommodation.
Students at 42 are given a choice of projects that they might be set in a job as a software engineer perhaps to design a website or a computer game. They complete a project using resources freely
available on the Internet and by seeking help from their fellow students, who work alongside them in a
large open-plan room full of computers. Another student will then be randomly assigned to mark their
work.
The founders claim this method of learning makes up for shortcomings in the traditional education
system, which they say encourages students to be passive recipients of knowledge. "Peer-to-peer
learning develops students with the confidence to search for solutions by themselves, often in quite
creative and ingenious ways."
Like in computer games , the students are asked to design and they go up a level by completing a
project. They graduate when they reach level 21, which usually takes three to five years . And at the
end, there is a certificate but no formal degree. Recent graduates are now working at companies
including IBM, Amazon, and Tesla, as well as starting their own firms.
"The feedback we have had from employers is that our graduates are more apt to go off and find out
information for themselves, rather than asking their supervisors what to do next," says Brittany Bir,
chief operating officer of 42 in California and a graduate of its sister school in Paris. Ms Bir says 42's
graduates will be better able to work with others and discuss and defend their ideas - an important
skill in the real world of work This is particularly important in computer programming where
individuals are notorious for lacking certain human skills," she says.
But could 42's model of teacherless learning work in mainstream universities? Brittany Bir admits 42's
methods do not suit all students . "It suits individuals who are very disciplined and self-motivated, and
who are not scared by having the freedom to work at their own pace," she says.

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.
Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in
society. Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today. A man usually lived
until he was about 40 years old, while women died even sooner because of childbirth. There were
many wars and illnesses, and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they
were still young. The parents lived through their children.
Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal. Most marriages
were arranged between parents while their children were still very young. It was the custom that the
fathers made the decision on whom their children were going to marry. The mothers had little say in it
since they rarely made any decisions outside the household. The fathers would meet to arrange the
wedding date and the money given for the bride on her wedding date. The more money and land a girl
had, the more chances she had to marry well. Therefore, it was important that her father choose the
bridegroom very well. Usually, it was someone who came from a good family or who was rich too. It
was very unlikely that people married outside their social class. A few well-off and rich merchants got
to marry poorer noblewomen and became King s business advisors. In a way, poor peasants had an
easier choice as it was less important whom they married.
The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India

or Pakistan. Here, social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept. Often, however, arranged
marriages are a sign that people do not want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and
security in an ever-changing world.
(Adapted from Longman Essence Reading, Vol. 2)

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.
A ghostly animal creeps silently through a Florida swamp )t s a rare type of big cat known as a Florida
panther, one of only 80 to 100 such panthers left in the world. Scientists must work to save these
remaining panthers from extinction, but their secretive nature is making it difficult. They are attaching
a special transmitter to each Florida panther so they can follow their movements, range, and habits.
The technology these transmitters use is called satellite tracking.
The scientists are dedicated professionals, but they are not pioneers. Their colleagues before them
have attached tiny transmitters to many different kinds of wild animals, including birds, fish, and big

cats. So the Florida scientists are using their methods. Firstly, they must trap and tranquillize the
panther. Then, the transmitter is attached to a harness and strapped to the panther s body Each
harness is custom designed and manually adjusted for panthers so it fits comfortably Scientists don t
want the transmitter to interfere with the panther s natural habits The point of tracking them is to find
out as much as they can about their natural habits.
Once the tracking transmitter is in place, the information it records is sent to an orbiting satellite. The
satellite can see the transmitter that is attached to the panther, even when it is out of sight of a
biologist on the ground. The satellite collects information from the transmitter about the panther s
exact location. Once the information is received, it is transmitted back to Earth so it can be recorded by
the scientists.
Scientists can use the information in many different ways. They can follow the panthers on the ground
and observe their behavior Alternatively they can use the information to determine the panthers
ranges and to understand their social patterns. They can also track how environmental changes like
weather conditions affect their movements and health. All this information can be used to provide ideal
conditions for the endangered panthers. It can also be used to protect the panthers from danger.
In the end, the panther silently slips away through the trees. Around its shoulders a transmitter is
sending signals via satellite to a dedicated biologist. The biologist is using the information the
transmitter provides to save the Florida panthers from extinction. With the help of satellite tracking
these beautiful cats have a better chance of survival in the modern world.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 23 to 27.
In the early twentieth century, an American woman named Emily Post wrote a book on etiquette.
This book explained the proper behavior Americans should follow in many different social (23)
,
from birthday parties to funerals. But in modern society, it is not simply to know the proper rules
for behavior in your own country. It is necessary for people (24) ______work or travel abroad to
understand the rules of etiquette in other cultures as well.
Cultural (25)
can be found in such simple processes as giving or receiving a gift. In
Western cultures, a gift can be given to the receiver with relatively little ceremony. When a gift is
offered, the receiver usually takes the gift and expresses his or her thanks. (26) ____, in some
Asian countries, the act of gift-giving may appear confusing to Westerners. In Chinese culture, both
the giver and receiver understand that the receiver will typically refuse to take the gift several times
before he or she finally accepts it. In addition, to (27) ________respect for the receiver, it is common in
several Asian cultures to use both hands when offering a gift to another person.

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 28 to 34.
Different cultures follow their own special customs when a child's baby teeth fall out. In Korea, for




Tài Liệu Ôn Thi Group

example, they have the custom of throwing lost teeth up on the roof of a house. According to tradition,
a magpie will come and take the tooth. Later, the magpie will return with a new tooth for the child. In

other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam, children follow a similar tradition of throwing their
lost teeth onto the roofs of houses.
Birds aren't the only animals thought to take lost teeth. In Mexico and Spain, tradition says a mouse
takes a lost tooth and leaves some money. However, in Mongolia, dogs are responsible for taking teeth
away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture and are considered guardian angels of the
people. Tradition says that the new tooth will grow good and strong if the baby tooth is fed to a
guardian angel. Accordingly, parents in Mongolia will put their child's lost tooth in a piece of meat and
feed it to a dog.
The idea of giving lost teeth to an angel or fairy is also a tradition in the West. Many children in
Western countries count on the Tooth Fairy to leave money or presents in exchange for a tooth. The
exact origins of the Tooth Fairy are a mystery, although the story probably began in England or
Ireland centuries ago. According to tradition, a child puts a lost tooth under his or her pillow before
going to bed. In the wee hours, while the child is sleeping, the Tooth Fairy takes the tooth and leaves
something else under the pillow. In France, the Tooth Fairy leaves a small gift. In the United States,
however, the Tooth Fairy usually leaves money. These days, the rate is $1 to $5 per tooth, adding up
to a lot of money from the Tooth Fairy!

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.

Earth is richly supplied with different types of living organisms which co-exist in their environments,




Tài Liệu Ôn Thi Group

forming complex, interrelated communities. Living organisms depend on one another for nutrients,
shelter, and other benefits. The extinction of one species can set off a chain reaction that affects many
other species, particularly if the loss occurs near the bottom of the food chain. For example, the
extinction of a particular insect or plant might seem inconsequential. However, there may be fish or
small animals that depend on that resource for foodstuffs. The loss can threaten the survival of these
creatures and larger predators that prey upon them. Extinction can have a ripple effect that spreads
throughout nature.
In addition to its biological consequences, extinction poses a moral dilemma for humans, the only
species capable of saving the others. The presence of humans on the planet has affected all other life
forms, particularly plants and animals. Human lifestyles have proven to be incompatible with the
survival of some other species. Purposeful efforts have been made to eliminate animals that prey on
people, livestock, crops, or pose any threat to human livelihoods. Some wild animals have been
decimated by human desire for meat, hides, fur, or other body parts with commercial value. Likewise,
demand for land, water, and other natural resources has left many wild plants and animals with little to
no suitable habitat. Humans have also affected nature by introducing non-native species to local areas
and producing pollutants having a negative impact on the environment. The combination of these
human-related effects and natural obstacles such as disease or low birthrates has proven to be too
much for some species to overcome. They have no chance of survival without human help.
As a result, societies have difficult choices to make about the amount of effort and money they are
willing to spend to save imperiled species. Will people accept limits on their property rights,
recreational activities, and means of livelihood to save a plant or an animal? Should saving such
popular species as whales and dolphins take priority over saving obscure, annoying, or fearful
species? Is it the responsibility of humans to save every kind of life form from disappearing, or is

extinction an inevitable part of nature, in which the strong survive and the weak perish? These are
some difficult questions that people face as they ponder the fate of other species living on this planet.
