correct answer to each of the questions
Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery
has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was
passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that
provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses,
those forms have not much adaptability.
On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that
drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric
magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by
electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a
furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee.
Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest
power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily
and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances.
To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or
water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without
polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal.
Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once
occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor
leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation.
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the
environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope
to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in

Ms. Tra My Nguyen

correct answer to each of the questions.
Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural
environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest
known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last two million years. It was, indeed,
the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were
introduced about 10,000 years ago.

Ms. Tra My Nguyen
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their
numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and
arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant
life. Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and
waterways. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has
provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences
have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies.
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from the
observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and
gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party
harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area has become
exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patterns
evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes. These
patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.
Question 36: The word “domestication” in the first paragraph mostly means ______.
A. adapting animals to suit a new working environment
B. hatching and raising new species of wild animals in the home
C. teaching animals to do a particular job or activity in the home
D. making wild animals used to living with and working for humans
Question 37: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on ______.
A. hunter-gatherers’ tools B. nature’s provision C. farming methods D. agricultural products
Question 38: In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers ______.
A. can free themselves from hunting B. have better food gathering from nature
C. live along the coasts and waterways for fishing D. harvest shorter seasonal crops
Question 39: According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can provide a
______.
A. further understanding of prehistoric times
B. broader vision of prehistoric natural environments
C. further understanding of modern subsistence societies
D. deeper insight into the dry-land farming
Question 40: A typical feature of both modern and prehistoric hunter-gatherers is that ______.
A. they live in the forests for all their life B. they don’t have a healthy and balanced diet
C. they don’t have a strong sense of community D. they often change their living places
Question 41: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?
A. Harvesting from the natural environment had existed long before farming was taken up.
B. The environmental differences produce no effect on subsistence societies.
C. The number of hunter-gatherers decreases where farming is convenient.
D. Hunting or fishing develops where there are no or short growing seasons.
Question 42: According to the author, most contemporary and prehistoric hunter-gatherers share
______.
A. some methods of production B. some patterns of behavior
C. some restricted daily rules D. only the way of duty division

The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal. Other solid materials such as
silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures. Also, some substances such
as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water. The ability of metals to
conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond together. In order to bond together the metal atoms
lose at least one of their outermost electrons. This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they
are now strictly ions. The lost electrons are free to move in what is known as a sea of electrons. Since
the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure together.
An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free to move
they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a battery is
connected to the metal. Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and this is what

Ms. Tra My Nguyen
makes metals such good conductors of electricity. The only other common solid conducting material
that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a pencil is made from). Graphite is
a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a way that there is a sea of electrons that can
be made to flow as an electric current. Likewise, if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the
electrically charged ions flow to create a current but only when those ions are free to move, either when
the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water. In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot
conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow.
Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they contain
no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow easily. Water itself is a
poor conductor of electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged particles (the
ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral). However, most water
we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water.
Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-
present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more
conductive.

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 following questions.
A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many
households, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people ages
between 18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the
women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70%. This ratio was not affected by whether the
woman was working or not.
When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that
housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work
outside the home were satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work – if their husbands
did remainder. Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become
unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant.
After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but
for men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man’s share
increases much less than the woman’s. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of
hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes housework as thankless and
unfulfilling. Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing
up and childcare. Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to
their professional duties. In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work
when the children grow up. Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage.

If we believe that clothing has to do with covering the body, and costume with the choice of a
particular form of garment for a particular use, then we can say that clothing depend primarily on such
physical conditions as climate, health, and textile manufacture, whereas costume reflect social factors
such as religious beliefs, aesthetics, personal status, and the wish to be distinguished from or to emulate
our fellows.
The ancient Greeks and the Chinese believed that we first covered our bodies for some physical reason
such as protecting ourselves from the weather elements. Ethnologists and psychologists have invoked
psychological reasons: modesty in the case of ancients, and taboo, magical influence and the desire to
please for the moderns.
In early history, costume must have fulfilled a function beyond that of simple utility, perhaps through
some magical significance, investing primitive man with the attributes of other creatures. Ornaments
identified the wearer with animals, gods, heroes or other men. This identification remains symbolic in
more sophisticated societies. We should bear in mind that the theater has its distant origins in sacred
performances, and in all period children at play have worn disguises, so as to adapt gradually to adult
life.
Costume helped inspire fear or impose authority. For a chieftain, costume embodied attributes
expressing his power, while a warrior’s costume enhanced his physical superiority and suggested he was
superhuman. In more recent times, professional or administrative costume has been devised to
distinguish the wearer and express personal or delegated authority; this purpose is seen clearly in the
judge’s robes and the police officer’s uniform. Costume denotes power, and since power is usually
equated with wealth, costume came to be an expression of social caste and material prosperity. Military
uniform denotes rank and is intended to intimidate, to protect the body and to express membership in a
group. At the bottom of the scale, there are such compulsory costumes as the convict’s uniform. Finally,
costume can possess a religious significance that combines various elements: an actual or symbolic
identification with a god, the desire to express this in earthly life, and the desire to enhance the wearer’s
position of respect.
Question 30: Psychological reasons for wearing garments include
A. protection from cold B. availability of materials
C. prevention of illness D. wishing to give pleasure
Question 31: The passage mainly discusses costumes in term of its
A. physical protection B. religious significance

A. To describe the uses of costume
B. To contrast costume with the clothing
C. To trade the origins of costume
D. To point out that clothing developed before costume
Question 33: The word “scale” refers to
A. symbolic identification B. military rank C. social position D. the balance
Question 34: Which of the following would most likely NOT be reflected in a person’s costume, as it is
defined in the passage?

Ms. Tra My Nguyen
A. Having a heart condition B. Playing in a baseball game
C. Working in a hospital D. Participating in a religious ceremony
Question 35: Why does the author mention the police officer’s uniform?
A. To illustrate the aesthetic function of costume B. To identify the wearer with a hero

Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was actually more
popular during his lifetime for some of his other works. He traveled extensively and used the knowledge
gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels. In 1837, at the age of eighteen, Melville signed
as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to Liverpool, England.
His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849). In 1841, Melville set out on
a whaling ship headed for the South Seas. After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered around the islands
of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop to the novel Omoo (1847). After
three years away from home, Melville joined up with a U.S. naval frigate that was returning to the
eastern United States around Cape Horn. The novel White Jacket (1850) describes this lengthy voyage
as a navy seaman.
With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal following
among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations. However, in 1851, with the publication
of Moby Dick, Melville's popularity started to diminish. Moby Dick, on one level the saga of the hunt
for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of humanity
against the universe. The public was not ready for Melville's literary metamorphosis from romantic
adventure to philosophical symbolism. It is ironic that the novel that served to diminish Melville's
popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today.

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is
the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for
Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.

Ms. Tra My Nguyen
Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the
ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They
arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died.
But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they
could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans
for the fact that they had survived.
Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the
celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey,
sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The
turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is
pumpkin made into a pie.
On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy costumes march through
the streets with large balloons in the shape of imaginary characters. Thanksgiving is considered the
beginning of the Christmas period, and the next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents.
Câu 36: What is the purpose of the passage?

Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments.
Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new

Ms. Tra My Nguyen
life. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare
programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of
industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who
was willing to work could find a job.
Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of
the programs - Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the
paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly
income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those
who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65,
when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund
may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly
Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up
the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs. These
include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and
public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes.
Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of
private charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United
States, especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18
do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity.
Câu 43: New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from ______.
A. the people who came earlier B. the US government agencies
C. only charity organizations D. volunteer organizations
Câu 44: It took welfare programs a long time to gain a foothold in the U.S. due to the fast growth

Câu 45: The word “instituted” in the first paragraph mostly means ______.
A. “executed” B. “studied” C. “introduced” D. “enforced”
Câu 46: Most of the public assistance programs ______ after the severe economic crisis.

C. functioned fruitfully in institutions D. did not work in institutions

A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (22)__________ between husband and
wife. Young couples will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work for hours or shifts in
order that one parent is always home with the children. Since childcare is expensive, this saves money

at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry.
In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family (24)__________ and the father becomes the
“househusband." These cases are still fairly rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to be

After inventing dynamite, Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally
destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in
1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who
had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally, there were five awards: literature, physics,
chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty seven years after the first
award ceremony.
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invented, and the interest on this sum is used for
the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10th, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated
diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the
judges’ decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature awards.

The American Red Cross was established in 1881, largely through the efforts of Clara Barton, who
had done relief work during the Civil War. In 1990, the society was approved by Congress, and since
then it has developed until each country in the US and its possessions is served by a Red Cross chapter.
The American Red Cross performs a great variety of services. In times of war, its biggest task is to give
help and comfort to men and women in the national armed forces, whether they are sick or well, and to
assist their families back home if they need help. Even in peacetime, Red Cross members work with
these forces whenever they may be of help.
The Canadian Red Cross Society was founded in 1896 as the first branch of the British Red Cross
Society. Since 1927, however, it has been Red Cross is carried on similarly by the Canadian one, and it
served effectively in both world wars as well as in Korea. Nevertheless, the Canadian society has some
projects that are unique. Because the country is so large and many areas are so thinly populated, the
Canadian Red Cross provides outpost hospitals, nursing stations, veterans’ lodges, and traveling medical
and dental clinic.
The programs of the American and Canadian Red Cross societies are dedicated to helping people at
