   On March 15, Dunes View Middle School held a contest for school bands. Student bands tried out for the opportunity to perform at the school picnic, which will be held at the end of June. The winner of the contest was the band called Four Square. “We’re very proud that we won the contest and are excited to perform at the picnic,” says Peter Zandt, who plays the guitar in the band. “And since we hope to perform someday at other local places, like restaurants and parks, this will be a great first step.”

   The contest was the creation of music teacher Mr. Lopez and drama teacher Ms. Cho. The two thought of the idea while discussing recent years’ school picnics. “The picnic is one of the biggest events of the year, but it has become a bit formulaic,” said Ms. Cho. “The activities are the same every year. We thought that a performance by a student band would make the school picnic more interesting and fun.” Mr. Lopez, Ms. Cho, and three other teachers judged the contest, which took place in the gym. Eight student bands signed up to audition. The bands varied in their musical forms: there were several rock bands, a folk band, and even a jazz band. “I’m disappointed that my band didn’t win, but I think the judges made the right choice,” says student Marisol Varga, a member of the folk trio called The Bell Girls. “Four Square is really good.”

   To see if the bands could present a wide range of musical skills, the teachers asked them each to prepare two songs: one song with original words, and another in which students played instrumental music only. The judges finally chose the band Four Square as the winner of the contest. Four Square is a rock band with an unusual twist: it includes a violin player! The members of Four Square write their own songs and practice three times a week after school. Students and teachers agreed that the band competition was a big success. All are looking forward to the school picnic in June.

Question 36: Which would be the most appropriate headline for the article?

   A. Famous Band Visits School

   B. Teachers Give Music Lessons

   C. Students Have Fun at School Picnic

   D. School Holds Student Band Contest

   A. They were held in March.

   B. They were not very exciting.

   C. They were very hard to organize.

   D. They included musical performances

Question 38: The word formulaic is closest in meaning to _____.

   A. expensive

   B. uncertain

   C. long

   D. dull

Question 39: What type of band is NOT mentioned in the article?

   A. Pop

   B. Jazz

   C. Folk

   D. Rock

Question 40: Why did the teachers ask each band to play two songs?

   A. To decide which songs to play at the picnic

   B. To see if the bands could play a variety of songs

   C. To make sure the contest did not go on too long

   D. To make the concert more enjoyable for students

   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 dessert 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 America 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 populations are 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 in the world.

   The secret of their adjustment lies in a 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.

   C. Desert plants

   D. Man’s life in the desert

   A. water – loving animals

   B. moist – skinned animals

   C. many large animals

   D. the bobcat

Question 9: The author states that one characteristic of animals that live in the desert is that they ____.

   A. are less healthy than animals that live in different places

   B. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals

   C. can hunt in temperature of 150 degrees

   D. live in an accommodating environment

   A. All living things adjust to their environments.

   B. Healthy animals live longer lives.

   C. Water is the basis of life.

Question 11: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to____.

   A. large animals

   A. they dig home underground

   B. they are noisy and aggressive

   C. they are ready to hunt after sunset

   Baseball evolved from a number of different ball-and stick games (paddle ball, trap ball, one-old-cat, rounders, and town ball) originating in England. As early as the American Revolution, it was noted that troops played “baseball” in their free time. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright formalized the New York Knickerbockers’ version of the game: a diamond shaped infield, with bases ninety feet apart, three strikers – you’re – out, batter out on a caught ball, three outs per inning , a nine man team. “The New York Game” spread rapidly, replacing earlier localized forms. From its beginnings, baseball was seen as a way of satisfying the recreational needs of an increasingly urban – industrial society. At its inception it was it was played by and for gentlemen. A club might consist of 40 members. The president would appoint two captains who would choose teams from among the members. Games were played on Monday and Thursday afternoons, with the losers often providing a lavish evening’s entertainments for the winners.

   During the 1850- 70 period the game was changing, however, with increasing commercialism (charging admission), under – the – table payments to exceptional to players, and gambling on the outcome of games. By 1868 it was said that a club would have their regular professional ten, an amateur first - nine, and their” muffins“ (the gently duffers who once ran the game) . Beginning with the first openly all – salaried team (Cincinnati’s Red Stocking Club) in 1869, the 1870- 1890 period saw the complete professionalization of baseball, including formation of the National Association of Professional baseball players in 1871. The National League of Professional Baseball Clubs was formed in 1876, run by business-minded invertors in joint-stock company clubs. The 1880s has been called Major League Baseball’s “Golden Age”. Profits soared, player’s salaries rose somewhat, a season of 84 games became one of 132, a weekly periodical “The sporting News” came into being, wooden stadiums with double-deck stands replaced open fields, and the standard refreshment became hot dogs, soda pop and peanuts.

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.

   The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contact certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume.

   That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging label of processed food are helpful or harmful.

   The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.

   Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.

   A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest. Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge.

Question 31: How has science done to disservice to people?

   A. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food

   B. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetable

   C. It caused a lack of information concerning the value of food

   D. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated.

Question 32: The word “prone” is nearest meaning to_________.

   A. healthy

   B. unlikely

   C. supine

   D. predisposed

Question 33: The word “carcinogenic” is closest in meaning to_________.

   A. trouble-making

   B. money-making

   C. cancer-causing

   D. colorretaining

Question 34: What are nitrates used for?

   A. They preserve the color of meat

   B. They preserve flavor in package food

   C. There are objects of research

   D. They cause the animals become fatter

Question 35: FDA means____________.

   A. Federal Dairy Additives

   B. Food and Drug Administration

   C. Final Difficult Analysis

   D. Food Direct Additives

Question 36: All of the following statements are TRUE except

   A. Drug are always given to animals for medical reasons

   B. Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world

   C. Researchers have known about the potential hazard of food additives for more than 45 years

   D. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals

Question 37: What is best title for this passage?

   A. The food you eat can affect your health

   B. Harmful and Harmless substances in food

   C. Avoiding injurious substances in food

   D. Improving health through a Natural Diet

Question 38: The word “fit” could be best replaced by which of the following?

   A. suitable

   B. tasty

   C. athletic

   D. adaptable

Question 39: The word “these” refers to___________?

   A. researchers

   B. nitrates and nitrites

   C. meats

   D. colors

Question 40: The word “additives” is closest meaning to__________.

   A. begin substance

   B. natural substance

   C. dangerous substance

   D. added substance

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.

   The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than 2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other encyclopedias, however, Wikipedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are not paid and their names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge.

   Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human knowledge. The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education”. Real popularity for encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the publication of encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount of information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to create an online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However, even Internet-based encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these. In 2001, he had the idea for an Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore, that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time.

   But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long time to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users to create or alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it. This process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes.

Question 36: Wikipedia is written by___________.

   A. paid written

   B. millionaires

   C. normal people

   D. world experts

Question 37: The phrase “these writers” in the first paragraph refers to ___________.

   A. ordinary readers

   B. ordinary people

   C. encyclopedia experts

   D. every subject

Question 38: The word “brainchild” in the second paragraph of the passage can be best replaced by______.

   A. child

   B. father

   C. born

   D. product

Question 39: The word “approach” in the third paragraph of the passage means ________.

   A. method

   B. idea

   C. writing

   D. time

Question 40: The user of Wikipedia can do all of the followings EXCEPT __________.

   A. have access to information

   B. edit information

   C. modify information

   D. determinate the website

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.

Until the 19th century, the denial of equal rights to women met with only occasional protest and drew little attention from most people. Because most women lacked the educational and economic resources that would enable them to challenge the prevailing social order, women generally accepted their inferior status as their only option. At this time, women shared these disadvantages with the majority of working class men, as many social, economic, and political rights were restricted to the wealthy elite [phần tử ưu tú]. In the 19th century, as governments in Europe and North America began to draft new laws guaranteeing equality among men, significant numbers of women – and some men – began to demand that women be accorded equal rights as well.

At the same time, the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America further divided the roles of men and women. Before the Industrial Revolution most people worked in farming or crafts-

making, both of which took place in or near the home. Men and women usually divided the numerous tasks among themselves and their children. Industrialization led male workers to seek employment outside of the home in factories and other large-scale [extensivve]enterprises. The growing split between home and work reinforced the idea that women’s “rightful place” was in the home, while men belonged in the public world of employment and politics.

Organized efforts by women to achieve greater rights occurred in two major waves. The first wave began around the mid-19th century, when women in the United States and elsewhere campaigned to gain suffrage [ right to vote in political elections]– that is, the right to vote. This wave lasted until the 1920s, when several countries granted women suffrage.

Question 31: Why did the denial of equal rights to women draw little attention from the society until the 19th century?

A. They could not challenge the prevailing social order.

B. They did not have any other option.

C. Most women lacked the educational and economic resources.

D. All are correct.

Question 32: Until the 19th century, what was the status of the working class men in the society?

A. They had the same rights as women.

B. They had no right at all.

C. They did not have much power compared to the wealthy people.

D. They had much power in the society.

Question 33: When did the women’s movement start in Western countries?

A. in the 18th century

B. in the late 18th century

C. in the 19th century

D. in the early 20th century

Question 34: What did the effect of the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America bring about?

A. Male workers tried to seek employment outside of the home.

B. It did not bring the equality to women.

C. Well-educated, upper-class men controlled most positions of employment and power in society.

D. All are correct.

Question 35: What was the aim of the women’s movement in the United States in the 1920s?

A. to gain the right to have much power in the society

B. to gain the right to vote

C. to gain the right to go to work in the factory

D. to have the complete equality to men

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 14 to 18.

The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are endangered because poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory.

At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory, which is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere.

“Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the illegal ivory trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund’s vice president for species conservation, told the Washington Post in September. And so our message is “Don’t buy it, and don’t take that chance.”

A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between 1995 and 2002. Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said.

As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever in traditional medicine. Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a good-luck charm – like a rabbit’s foot in the United States. “Part of our job is education,” said Professor Dillon. “The other part is law enforcement.

WOMEN

In developing countries, where three fourths of the world’s population live, sixty percent of the people who can’t read and write are women. Being illiterate doesn’t mean they are not intelligent. It does mean it is difficult for them to change their lives. They produce more than half of the food. In Africa eighty percent of all agricultural work is done by women. There are many programs to help poor countries develop their agriculture. However, for years, these programs provided money and training for men.

In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4:45 a.m., she gets up, washes and eats. It takes her a half hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3.00 p.m. She collects firewood and gets home at 4:00. She spends the next hour and a haft preparing food to cook. Then she collects water for another hour. From 6:30 to 8:30 she cooks. After dinner, she spends an hour washing the dishes and her children. She goes to bed at 9:30 p.m.

International organizations and programs run by developed nations are starting to help women, as well as men, improve their agricultural production.

A. Because 60 percent of women are illiterate.

B. Because 80 percent of all agricultural work is done by women.

C. Because most women are not intelligent.

D. Because international organizations and programs run are starting to help women.

Question 43: Why do people say that African women’s lives are hard?

A. Because they are busy with housework.

B. Because they work all day in the fields.

C. Because they are busy with housework and work all day in the fields.

D. Because they are illiterate.

Question 44: A typical African woman spends collecting firewood every day.

A. 3 hours

B. 2 hours

C. 1 hour
