C. READING

Read the passage, then answer the questions below (2.5pts)

Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn't cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from the Sun.

At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal and gas, oil or nuclear power. This power could be provided by the Sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total population.

Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roofs of a house and the Sun's energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy, too.

Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all buildings will be heated by solar energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2015.

Questions:

1. Is solar energy an efficient source of power?

_____________________________________________________________________

2. Where are the solar panels placed?

_____________________________________________________________________

3. How long can the solar energy be stored?

_____________________________________________________________________

4. When will cars use solar power instead of gas in Sweden?

_____________________________________________________________________

5. Is the solar energy used in Vietnam now?

_____________________________________________________________________

A World of Sausage

All over the world, all different cultures created interesting processed meat products, and one of the most popular is undoubtedly sausage.

To begin with, sausage making may be considered disgusting as it deals with using various animal parts. Since meat is ground up, certain cuts and parts of an animal that wouldn't be served in their original forms can be used. Literally, this means animal parts such as noses, ears, and other less appetizing areas of an animal's body. Very often, the ground up meat and flesh is mixed with a certain percentage of fat, along with spices and other fillers. After being mixed well, this meat mixture is then stuffed into the cleaned intestines of the animal, which are then sealed at both ends. The result is sausage.

The meats used in sausages come from a variety of animals, although beef and pork are by far the favourites. In some cultures, sausage made from the meat of horses is considered a delicacy. When sausages are cooked, the cooking process sometimes adds to the flavour. While boiling is probably the simplest method, smoking sausages will add a lot of smoky flavour.

Next time you bite into a sausage, it is probably best not to think too much about how it became the tasty thing you are eating. After all, you don't want to ruin a good snack.

26. Where is the mixture of meat placed?

A. Inside a plastic package.                            B. Inside a cleaned intestine.

C. Inside a refrigerator.                                   D. Inside a metal container.

27. What won't be served in their original forms?

A. Certain cuts and parts of animals.              B. Spices and fillers.

C. Sausages of all types.                                 D. Intestines of an animal.

28. What are by far the favourite meats for making sausages?

A. Chicken.                 B. Horse meat.            C. Cuts of lamb.          D. Beef and pork.

29. What is the simplest method of cooking sausages?

A. Grilling.                  B. Smoking.                C. Boiling.                   D. Baking.

30. What advice is given in the passage?

A. Be careful when making sausages.

B. Don't think too much about what you are eating when eating sausages.

C. Try not to use too much fat in the meat mixture when making sausages.

D. Make sure intestines are cleaned before packing with meat.

VII. Write the sentences with the same meaning to the first ones. Use words given.

Taking a Working Holiday

One of the most difficult things young people face when they want to travel is the lack of funds. During summer holidays and possibly at weekends, they are able to take on part-time jobs, but the money they make is just a drop in the bucket of what they need to travel far away. For example, traveling to Australia from Viet Nam can be quite expensive just for an airline ticket, and to a lot of students wanting to travel, it can seem out of reach.

For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, they are in luck. Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are well - known for offering them. When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, he only pays for the round-trip airfare to get to either place and only needs to carry some extra cash for incidentals. Once he is there, a job awaits where he can earn some money.

Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking fruit or working in a busy pub out in the countryside. Some of the jobs require more experience that most people are unlikely to have, such as being a certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That shouldn't discourage you, though, because there is always something to be found if you search hard enough.

There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand. If you have the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it might be just the ticket you were looking for.

26. What can seem out of reach for young people?

A. Being able to find a part-time job.                         B. Being able to travel.

C. Being able to get time off from school.                 D. Being able to earn money.

27. Which students are in luck according to the passage?

A. The ones who want to go to Australia and New Zealand.

B. The ones who have part-time jobs.

C. The ones who have airline tickets.

D. The ones who are on holiday.

28. Where can people find working holidays advertised?

A. In magazines.         B. On the radio.          C. In travel guidebooks.         D. On the Internet.

29. According to the passage, which statement is true?

A. Some working holidays are not paid.

B. People on working holidays must be from Australia or New Zealand.

C. A young person needs a special visa to go on a working holiday.

D. Picking fruit is the only job available for young people on working holidays.

30. Why would a student NOT want to take a working holiday?

A. To earn money.      B. To show how fearful he is.             C. To see the world.    D. To visit a new place.

VII. Write the sentences with the same meaning to the first ones. Use words given.

31. My uncle is a fire fighter. He visited us last weekend. (who)

Son Doong Cave in Viet Nam - Good Morning America

Son Doong Cave and Swallow Cave (En Cave) were recorded and broadcast on Good Morning America - a programme of ABC Television (USA). By being broadcast on Good Morning America (ABC Television), Son Doong Cave would be introduced widely to international travellers.

This is a good chance for Quang Binh tourism to promote the image of Son Doong – the biggest cave in Viet Nam – to travellers around the world. Therefore, the film crew worked in the most favourable conditions. The programme was directly broadcast on satellite in May 2015.

The cave is a part of the underground system connecting over 150 other caves in Viet Nam near Viet Nam - Lao border with many caves such as Phong Nha Cave.

Son Doong Cave is compared equally to Mount Everest in terms of attraction. The biggest natural cave in the world is appreciated to be an interesting destination for a several-day tour, including exploring underground rivers, caves and camping... The overwhelming natural landscapes inside Son Doong Cave create an attraction by majestic and magnificent scenes. It takes months to end up a cave's round. In addition, the condition to join tours in Son Doong Cave is extremely high. Adventurers must be in good mental and physical health to conquer the cave. Son Doong, the biggest cave in Viet Nam, along with other attractions in Quang Binh, is an attractive destination for travelers, especially those who are fans of natural exploration. The first exploration tour was held in early August 2013. The first tour consisted of 6 people from the US, Russia, Australia, and Norway. They underwent 7 days and 6 nights to explore Son Doong Cave. There are a large number of tourists registering for next tours since then.

26. Thanks to the programme of Good Morning America on ABC Television, a large number of people around the world will know Son Doong Cave. 

27. The film crew making the programme about the cave met a lot problems from the local authorities. 

28. There are many caves in Quang Binh province but Son Doong Cave may be the most well known. 

29. The number of people climbing Mount Everest is the same as that exploring Son Doong Cave. 

30. The exploration tour of Son Doong Cave is so hard that it requires tourists to have good physical and mental health. 

VII. Write the sentences with the same meaning to the first ones. Use words given.

31. We won’t eat fruits and vegetables. We will have health problems. (If)

32. Nick is my classmate. I've known him for a long time. (who)

Read the passage, then answer the questions below (2.5pts)

Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn't cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from the Sun.

At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal and gas, oid or nuclear power. This power could be provided by the Sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total population.

Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roofs of a house and the Sun's energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy, too.

Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all buildings will be heated by solar energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2015.

Questions:

1. Is solar energy an efficient source of power?

2. Where are the solar panels placed?

3. How long can the solar energy be stored?

4. When will cars use solar power instead of gas in Sweden?

5. Is the solar energy used in Vietnam now?

Thomas A. Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11th, 1847. His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age.

Thomas Alve Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Although the electric light seems to be the most useful, it was not his only invention. He also invented the record player, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.

He worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had reminded him to sleep and eat.

Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18th , 1931, at his estate in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world.

Hướng dẫn dịch

Thomas A. Edison sinh ra ở Milan, Ohio, vào ngày 11 tháng 2 năm 1847. Gia đình ông chuyển đến Port Huron, Michigan, khi ông được bảy tuổi. Điều đáng ngạc nhiên là ông chỉ đi học được hai tháng. Mẹ ông, một cựu giáo viên, đã dạy ông một số điều, nhưng Thomas chủ yếu là tự học. Sự tò mò bẩm sinh đã khiến ông bắt đầu thử nghiệm khi còn nhỏ.

Thomas Alve Edison đã thắp sáng thế giới với phát minh ra đèn điện. Mặc dù đèn điện có vẻ là hữu ích nhất, nhưng nó không phải là phát minh duy nhất của ông. Ông cũng phát minh ra máy ghi âm, máy ảnh chuyển động và hơn 1.200 thứ khác. Khoảng hai tuần một lần, ông ấy tạo ra một cái gì đó mới.

Ông ấy đã làm việc 16 trên 24 giờ. Đôi khi ông làm việc căng thẳng đến mức vợ ông phải nhắc nhở ông ăn ngủ.

Thomas Edison qua đời ở tuổi 84 vào ngày 18 tháng 10 năm 1931, tại khu đất của ông ở West Orange, New Jersey. Ông đã để lại rất nhiều phát minh giúp cải thiện chất lượng cuộc sống trên toàn thế giới.

Japanese people are famous for their well-balanced and healthy diet. That is the main reason for their longevity.

A. Typically, a Japanese meal consists of rice, miso soup, the main dish(es) and pickles. Rice is the staple and plays a central part in people's eating habits. Japanese rice is sticky and nutritious, so when combined with the main dishes and the soup, they make a complete meal. The portions of each dish are individually served.

B.The most important characteristic of their eating habits is they like raw food and do not use sauces with a strong favour. Two typical examples are sashimi and sushi. The Japanese make sashimi simply by cutting fresh fish. Then they serve it with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and spicy Japanese horseradish (wasabi). Sushi is similar. The cooked, vinegared rice can be combined with raw fish, prawn, avocado, cucumber or egg. Sushi is usually served with soy sauce and pickled ginger.

C. It is said that the Japanese eat with their eyes. Therefore, the arrangement of dishes is another significant feature of their eating habits. If you join a Japanese meal, you may be excited to see how the colourful dishes are arranged according to a traditional pattern. In addition, there are plates and bowls of different sizes and designs. They are carefully presented to match the food they carry.

Read the passage and answer the questions.

In 1761, an artificial waterway opened. It joined a coal-mining area with the port of Manchester. This was England’s first man-made waterway, or ‘canal’. Soon the price of coal in this part of the country went down, and the owner of the Bridgewater canal became rich.

In the late 18th century landowners and businessmen built many new canals to make money. There was no canal plan for the country, but the canals completely changed the transport of heavy goods in England. Prices of factory goods went down because transport cost less than before. One horse could now pull 50 tons on a canal boat. Before, it could pull less than one ton on a road cart. The canal network was a very important part of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, but canals had only a short life. In the mid 19th century, the new railways became the most modern form of transport.

The men who built the canals were called ‘navvies’. They moved around country in groups from canal to canal. Ordinary people did not like the navvies, because they wore strange clothes, had no real homes, and because they often drank too much beer.

The Nottingham and Beeston Canal had two parts. It opened in 1796 and was an important six-mile link in the Trent Navigation - a system of canals and rivers which joined the Midlands with the River Humber and the port of Hull. This carried goods from inland factories to the sea. Now it is no longer a working canal. It is a place for people who like walking or fishing.

Read the passage, then answer the questions below (2.5pts)

Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn't cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from the Sun.

At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal and gas, oid or nuclear power. This power could be provided by the Sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total population.

Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roofs of a house and the Sun's energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy, too.

Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all buildings will be heated by solar energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2015.

Questions:

1. Is solar energy an efficient source of power?

2. Where are the solar panels placed?

3. How long can the solar energy be stored?

4. When will cars use solar power instead of gas in Sweden?

5. Is the solar energy used in Vietnam now?
