Choose the best answer.(1,0 point) Benjamin Franklin Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after it began, and dying ten years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a nation, and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.

At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some training as a printer’s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first publication, the Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printing work, which helped him to rise from his poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of his experience in business was shared in his famous Poor Richard’s Almanak, which established his reputation throughout the American colonies. In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written toward the end of his life, he shows the same quiet common sense.

He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with electricity and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his Phát hành PDF bởi Ths Nguyễn Thanh Tú Đăng ký Word doc qua Zalo 0905779594 Email thanhtuqn88@gmail.com

native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society, and - because he was a pragmatic man - a fire prevention service. In 1753 he became PostmasterGeneral of the colonies. Through this experience he began to develop the idea that the colonies of North America should be a single nation. Later, he went to London to try to persuade the British government to change the conditions, especially the taxes, that later led the American colonists into rebellion.

Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings about the rebellion of the American states, he worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help George Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional congress. This was his last contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the creators of the United States.

1. What is a good description for this text?

A. An autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

B. The life of Benjamin Franklin C. The works of Benjamin Franklin.

D. Franklin and American Independence.

2. When was Benjamin Franklin born?

A. 1806 B. 1794 C. 1717 D. 1706 3. Which of these happened first?

A. Franklin trains as a printer.

B. Franklin runs away to Philadelphia.

C. The American colonies rebel.

D. Franklin starts his first publication.

4. What was Poor Richard’s Almanak about?

A. Franklin’s reputation.

B. How to succeed in business.

C. How to do government printing.

Next, summer starts in June, as temperatures slowing rise to around 80 degrees.

III. Read the passage below and then choose the correct answer A, B, C or D. (1.0 pt) Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that was introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking and diplomacy.

Currently, about 80% of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English. Two – thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers.

Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users than any language in the world.

1. What is the main topic of this passage?

A. The number of non-native users of English B. The French influence on the English language C. The expansion of English as an international language D. The use of English for science and technology 2. The word “emerged” in paragraph 1 means________.

A. appeared

B. hailed

C. frequented D. engaged

3. Approximately, when did English begin to be used beyond England?

A. in 1066

B. around 1350

C. before 1600

D. after 1600

4. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “stored” in paragraph 2?

A. bought

B. saved

C. spent

D. valued

5. According to the passage, approximately how many non-native users of English are there in the world today?

IV. Read the passage and choose the best option A, B, C or D to answer the question (1 pt) One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world.

It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignores the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.

Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage.

Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

1. One environmental problem in the world today is ___________.

A. acid rain

B. safe water shortage

C. industrial pollution

D. population explosion

2. Which of the following is NOT the reason that makes water undrinkable?

A. acid rain

B. garbage

C. industrial pollution

D. high cost

3. What is a serious problem of Lake Baikal in Russia?

IV. Read the following passage then choose the best option to each question (1 pt) Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”? People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who doesn’t usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it. The first thing to know that the moon itself is never actually blue. This is just an expression. The phrase “blue moon” actually has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.

As the moon travels around the Earth, it appears to change shape. We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like a tip of a fingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the entire moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a “blue moon”. Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.

1. Which would be a good example of someone doing something “once in a blue moon”?

A. Mary likes to go to the mountains every weekend.

B. Tom rarely remembers to take out the trash.

C. Cindy hates washing the dishes.

D. Mary sometimes forgets to do homework.

A. Thomas has lost his mind B. An apple a day keeps the doctor away C. I’ll mow the grass after I finish my homework.

Part 3: Read the following passage and answer the following questions. (1,0 pt) Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.

However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy.

1. What does the passage primarily discuss?

A. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.

B. Solar energy’s advantages over other sources of energy.

C. The cost of solar energy.

D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels.

2. Which of the following is the main disadvantage of solar energy mentioned in the passage?

A. It is expensive.

C. It is unfriendly to the environment.

B. Solar cells require large areas to operate.

D. It depends on sunlight.

3. What is NOT mentioned as an advantage of solar cells?

Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking and diplomacy.

Currently, about 80% of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English. Two – thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are non-native speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users than any language in the world.

Part 2: Fill ONE suitable word into each of the numbered blanks in the following passage. Write your answers in the space provided (1.5 point) Phát hành PDF bởi Ths Nguyễn Thanh Tú Đăng ký Word doc qua Zalo 0905779594 Email thanhtuqn88@gmail.com

ARE ZOOS A GOOD THING? Zoos are hugely popular attractions (16)……………. adults and children alike.

But are they actually a good thing?

Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer (17)……………….and mentally by being enclosed. Even the best artificial environments can't come close to matching the space, diversity, and freedom that animals have in (18)…................ natural habitats. This deprivation causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill.

Capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally: for example, marine parks often force dolphins and whales to perform tricks. These mammals may die decades earlier (19)…………………. their wild relatives, and some even try to commit suicide.

On the other hand, by bringing people and animals (20)........................ , zoos have the potential to educate the public about conservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their habitats. Some zoos provide a safe environment for (21)………….. which have been mistreated in circuses, or pets which have been abandoned. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behaviour and how to (22)……………. illnesses.

One of the most important modern functions of zoos (23)…………….. supporting international breeding programmes, particularly for endangered species.

In the wild, some of the rarest species have difficulty (24)…………….. finding mates and breeding, and they might also be threatened (25)…………….. poachers, loss of their habitat and predators. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in a secure environment. In addition, as numbers of some wild species drop, there is an increased danger of populations becoming too genetically similar. Breeding programmes provide a safeguard: zoo-bred animals can be released into the wild to increase genetic diversity.

(26)……………. , opponents of zoos say that the vast majority of captive breeding programmes do not release animals back into the wild. Surplus animals are sold not only to other zoos but (27)…………….. to circuses or hunting ranches in the US or South Africa, (28)……………….. some people are willing to pay a lot of Phát hành PDF bởi Ths Nguyễn Thanh Tú Đăng ký Word doc qua Zalo 0905779594 Email thanhtuqn88@gmail.com

money for the chance to kill an animal in a fenced enclosure. Often, these animals are familiar with humans and have very little chance of escaping.

So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all (29)…………….on how well individual zoos are managed, and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable (30)…………….

many people

believe imprisoning animals for any reason is simply wrong.

Part 3: Choose the word or phrase which best completes each blank in the following passage (2 piont) My home is in the air - I do an enormous amount of travelling. It is a fast life and (1)........ of work, but I like it and that is the only way (2)................ me.

Everything is tiring - music, travelling- but what can I do? I am not (3).......... to complaining. It is hard to imagine now (4)........... I will ever be very long in one place. My home town is on the Caspian Sea. There is sea, wind, sun, and (5).......... many tourists and hotels. I have my own flat with four or five rooms, but I am seldom there.
