Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over
conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated Advocates of organic foods- a
term whose meaning varies greatly frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious
than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and more nutritional quality of the typical North American
diet is a welcome development However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that
the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains and the like
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food and buy only expensive organic foods instead
16 The world "Advocates" is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A Inspectors B Merchants C Supporters D Consumers
17 The word "others" refers to _.
A advantages B advocates C products D organic foods
Trang 618 The "welcome development" is an increase in .
A interest in food safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet
B the amount of healthy food grown in North America
C the number of consumers in North America
D the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet
19 According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term "organic foods"?
A It is accepted by most nutritionists.
B It is seldom used by consumers.
C It has no fixed meaning.
D It has been used only in recent years.
20 The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods
instead of conventionally grown foods because _
A many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods
B organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods
C too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops
D conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods
21 According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally
grown foods are often _
A careless B thrifty C mistaken D wealthy
22 What is the author's attitude toward the claims made by advocates of health foods?
A Doubtful B Very enthusiastic C Somewhat favorable D Neutral

The tradition of gift giving is a worldwide (26) that is said to have been around since the beginning
Trang 7of human beings Over time, different cultures have developed their own gift giving customs and traditions.
In France, the gift of wine for the hostess of a dinner party is not an appropriate gift as the hostess would prefer to choose the vintage for the night In Sweden, a bottle of wine or flowers are an appropriate gift for the hostess In Viet Nam, a gift of whisky is appropriate for the host, and some fruit or small gifts for the hostess, children or elders of the home Besides, gifts should never be wrapped in black paper because this color is unlucky and associated with funerals in this country Gifts (27) _ symbolize cutting such as scissors, knives and other sharp objects should be avoided because they mean the cutting of the relationship Also, in some countries you should not open the gift in front of the giver and in (28) _ it would be an insult if you did not open the gift
Beyond the gift itself, give careful consideration to the manner in which it is presented Different cultures have different customs regarding how a gift should be offered - using only your right hand or using both hands, (29) Others have strong traditions related to the appropriate way to accept a gift In Singapore, for instance, it is the standard to graciously refuse a gift several times before finally accepting it The recipient would never unwrap a gift in front of the giver for fear of appearing greedy
Understanding these traditions and customs, as well as taking time to choose an appropriate gift, will help you to avoid any awkwardness or (30) as you seek to build a better cross-cultural relationship

Cambridge University is considering axing compulsory written exams, allowing students to use laptops or iPads instead, after tutors complained that students' handwriting is becoming illegible Academics say the move, which would bring an end to over 800 years of tradition, has come about because students rely too heavily on laptops in lectures, and are losing the ability to write by hand
Dr Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at Cambridge University, said handwriting is becoming a "lost art" among the current generation of students She added, "It's increasingly hard for our examiners to read students'
scripts Those with illegible writing are forced to come back to their college during the summer holidays to
read their answers aloud in the presence of two university administrators It's extraordinarily commendable that the University is considering reforms to its examination practices."
Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham, said it is inevitable that universities will move to computers as handwriting deteriorates in the coming years "We have to accept the reality Handwriting has now become an optional, not a necessary, part of education There simply isn't the same time in the curriculum for learning elegant, beautiful handwriting Life is so quick now Everybody writes as
if they were a doctor writing a prescription," he said "Handwriting is not necessary for great thought, great
Trang 9English, or great intelligence Some of our finest wordsmiths today write using laptops, and we have to fight
to preserve what is really important, such as the use of great English or great sentence structures "
Others, however, were not very positive about the move Tracey Trussell, a handwriting expert, urged Cambridge to ensure that students continue to write by hand She said, "It's vital that people continue to write
by hand Writing by hand improves memory and equates to a higher rate of comprehension and information retention "There is also concern that schools could follow Cambridge's example by moving away from handwriting Dr Jane Medwell, Associate Professor of Education at the University of Nottingham, is
concerned that scrapping handwritten exams in universities could prompt "downward curriculum pressure"
on primary and secondary schools to follow suit

In the last few centuries, things have begun to move faster Take a 20th-century invention like the aeroplane, for example The first aeroplane flight on 17 December 1903 only lasted 12 seconds, and the plane only went
37 metres It can't have been very exciting to watch, but that flight changed the world Sixteen years later, the first plane flew across the Atlantic, and only fifty years after that, men walked on the moon Technology is now changing our world faster and faster So what will the future bring?

we will grow them! Thirty years ago, people couldn't have imagined social media like Twitter and Facebook Now we can't live without them
But this is only the start Right now, scientists are putting microchips in some disabled people's brains, to help them see, hear and communicate better In the future, we may all use these technologies We won't need smartphones to use social media or search the internet because the internet will be in our heads!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your ans wer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Throughout history, various people have demonstrated a high degree of confidence in the ability of certain animals to predict the weather It may seem surprising today in view of the complex equipment now involved
in weather forecasting to understand that in certain cases, the behavior of animals does indeed provide an
indication of inclement weather Sensitivity of certain animals to falling air pressure or to low-frequency
sound waves that humans cannot hear, which are indicators of approaching storms, causes behaviors in animals that certain societies have come to recognize as predictors of storms
A number of animals are remarkably sensitive to variations in air pressure, and some of these animals show consistent, noticeable, and predictable behaviors as air pressure drops before a storm hits When the air pressure drops before a storm, some animals move closer to the ground to equalize the pressure in their ears:
some birds such as swallows tend to stay on the ground or roost in trees instead of soaring in the skies when
a storm is imminent because of the decreasing air pressure Other animals make more noise than usual as air pressure drops: an unusual amount of quacking by ducks and a high volume of croaking by frogs are both
indicators that are believed to occur because of the high degree of sensitivity of ducks and frogs to the
change in pressure Finally, still other animals become more active before storms as a reaction to the falling air pressure: dolphins and porpoises seem to be taking part in a frenzied sort of play, and bees and ants become more active prior most likely because of their sensitivity to lower pressure
There is good reason to believe that the fact that these animal behaviors seem to occur regularly prior to
Trang 16storms may have a scientific basis and that the animals demonstrating these behaviors may actually be good short- range weather forecasters However, their ability to predict long-range weather patterns is rather suspect Certain proverbs, for example, are based on what is most likely the idea that squirrels are good indica weather patterns One proverb indicates that, if a squirrel seems busier than usual in gathering nuts, then a long and cold winter is on its way; however, this behavior in squirrels is more likely due to a large supply of nuts available for gathering, which occurs because of earlier good weather, and is not an indicator
of cold weather to come Another proverb about squirrels indicates that if a squirrel grows a long and bushy tail in the fall, then a particularly harsh winter is on its way; in this case too, the squirrel develops a long and bushy tail because of earlier good weather and not as a warning of bad weather to come

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.
During the past half-century, our species has embarked on a remarkable social experiment For the first time
Trang 21in human history, great numbers of people - at all ages, in all places, of every political persuasion - have begun settling down as singletons Until the second half of the last century, most of us married young and parted only at death If death came early, we remarried quickly; if late, we moved in with family, or they with
us Now we marry later We divorce, and stay single for years or decades
The rise of living alone has produced significant social benefits, too Young and middle-aged solos have helped to revitalise cities, because they are more likely to spend money, socialise and participate in public life Contemporary solo dwellers in the US are primarily women: about 18 million, compared with 14 million men The majority, more than 16 million, are middle-aged adults between the ages of 35 and 64 The elderly account for about 11 million of the total Young adults between 18 and 34 number increased more than 5
million, compared with 500,000 in 1950, making them the fastest-growing segment of the solo-dwelling
population
Despite fears that living alone may be environmentally unsustainable, solos tend to live in apartments rather than in big houses, and in relatively green cities rather than in car-dependent suburbs There's good reason to
believe that people who live alone in cities consume less energy than if they coupled up and decamped to
pursue a single-family home
26 The best title for this passage could be _.
A the rise in divorce rates B figures about solo dwellers in the US
C the increase in solo living D solos' tendency towards living in apartments

28 The word "them" in paragraph 2 refers to _.
A young adults B the elderly C middle-aged adults D solo dwellers
29 In paragraph 2, all the following are the suggestions of the writer EXCEPT _.
A There are fewer middle-aged solos than the elderly who live alone.
B The number of the young adult choosing to live alone has increased the most rapidly.
C Solo dwellers have helped to renew their cities.
D In the US, more females choose to live alone than males.
30 The word "decamped" in paragraph 3 means _.
A quitted B settled down C lived separately D lived together

Don't pigeonhole yourself with anything that official Instead, give the hiring manager a
more nuanced response by covering your skills, interests, and values He or she will get the chance to learn
more about you-and you have more flexibility to line up your career goals and the position you're applying for That's a win-win

Can you imagine waking up each day in a house that is gently rocked by the movement of water, having a
water park as a garden and getting to work by water taxi? Well, for some people this vision of the future may
become a reality It is a commonly accepted fact that as the Earth's temperature rises, the ice caps at the North and South Poles will melt, causing the sea level to rise
So, where does this leave the many countries in the world which have large sections of their populations
living in areas which lie at or below sea level? The Netherlands, for example, is one of the most highly populated, low-lying countries in the world and has been battling with the problem of flooding for years Further rises in the sea level would mean much of the country will disappear under water
Inventive architects may have come up with a solution to the problem: a floating house actually built on the water The basic idea is that houses will have a base filled with air and a way of anchoring them to the ground This will allow the houses to float upwards whenever the sea level rises and sink back down when the sea level drops So, are floating houses the homes of the future? For some people there may be no alternative; for others it will be through choice After all, who says you have to live on dry land anyway?

A Eventually the whole world will be affected by flooding.
B Countries affected by flooding may sink.
C Floating houses will be normal in the future.

A the ice caps will move and push the level up
B the world will become colder causing more rain
C the heat will turn ice into water and force the level up
D many countries are sinking and will force the level up

Trang 2943 Why does the writer choose the Netherlands as an example?

Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods
These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and,
as far as we know, naturally The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid
The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up According to some experts, this warming
process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years The
implications for the planet are very serious Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture
It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by
which the heat of the sun is trapped This leads to the warming up of the planet.
Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997 There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb greenhouse gases At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by
too drastic deforestation.
44 What is the main idea of the passage?
A Climate change and human effort to improve it.
B Deforestation caused by human activities and its effects.
C Ecological disasters and their effects worldwide.
D Rising global temperature and extreme weather patterns.
45 According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice ages differ from the modern
Trang 30A They were fully monitored by humans.
B They occurred naturally over a long period of time.
C They were wholly the result of human activity.
D They were partly intended.
46 The word This in the third paragraph refers to .
A the greenhouse effect B the heat of the sun being trapped
C the pollution of atmosphere D the modern industrial process
47 The word unprecedented in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A already witnessed B widely considered important
C never seen before D publicly supported
48 The word drastic in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _.
A obvious B severe C hard D widespread
49 Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A Politicians are among those who are concerned about climate change.
B Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may cause the so-called greenhouse effect.
C The so-called sinks created by forests can absorb greenhouse gases.
D The problem of rapid climate change has been caused mainly by deforestation.
50 It is implied in the passage that, agriculture could .
A give rise to many ecological disasters
B make the global warming more serious
C be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises
D be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature

Because the low latitudes of the Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than the latitudes near the poles, and because the nature of heat is to expand and move, heat is transported from the tropics to the middle and high latitudes Some of this heat is moved by winds and some by ocean currents, and some gets stored in the atmosphere in the form of latent heat The term "latent heat" refers to the energy that has to be
used to convert liquid water to water vapor We know that if we warm a pan of water on a stove, it will
evaporate, or turn into vapor, faster than if it is allowed to sit at room temperature We also know that if we hang wet clothes outside in the summertime, they will dry faster than in winter, when the temperature is lower The energy used in both cases to change liquid water to water vapor is supplied by heat - supplied by the stove in the first case and by the Sun in the latter case This energy is not lost It is stored as vapor in the atmosphere as latent heat Eventually, the water stored as vapor in the atmosphere will condense to liquid again, and the energy will be released to the atmosphere
In the atmosphere, a large portion of the Sun's incoming energy is used to evaporate water, primarily in the tropical oceans Scientists have tried to quantify this proportion of the Sun's energy By analysing temperature, water vapor, and wind data around the globe, they have estimated the quantity to be about 90 watts per square meter, or nearly 30 percent of the Sun's energy Once this latent heat is stored within the
atmosphere, it can be transported, primarily to higher latitudes, by prevailing, large-scale winds Or it can be
transported vertically to higher levels in the atmosphere, where it forms clouds and subsequent storms, which then release the energy back to the atmosphere
34 The passage mainly discusses how heat _.
A is transported by ocean currents
B can be measured and analysed by scientists
C moves about the Earth's equator
D is transformed and transported in the Earth's atmosphere
35 The passage mentions that the tropics differ from the Earth's polar regions in which of the following
ways?
A The strength of their oceanic currents
B The strength of their large-scale winds
C The height of cloud formation in the atmosphere
Trang 35D The amount of heat they receive from the Sun
36 The word "convert" is closest in meaning to _.
37 According to the passage, 30 percent of the Sun's incoming energy .
A never leaves the upper atmosphere
B gets stored as latent heat
C is stored in clouds in the lower latitudes
D is transported by ocean currents
38 The underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refers to .
A latent heat B the atmosphere C square meter D the Sun's energy
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 39 to 45.
Being aware of one's own emotions - recognizing and acknowledging feelings as they happen - is at the very heart of Emotional Intelligence And this awareness encompasses not only moods but also thoughts about those moods People who are able to monitor their feelings as they arise are less likely to be ruled by them and are thus better able to manage their emotions
Managing emotions does not mean suppressing them; or giving free rein to every feeling Psychologist Daniel Goleman, who has contributed to popularize the notion of Emotional Intelligence, insisted that the goal is balance and that every feeling has value and significance As Goleman said, "A life without passion would be a dull wasteland of neutrality, cut off and isolated from the richness of life itself." Thus, we manage our emotions by expressing them in an appropriate manner Emotions can also be managed by engaging in activities that cheer us up, soothe our hurts, or reassure us when we feel anxious
Clearly, awareness and management of emotions are not independent For instance, you might think that individuals who seem to experience their feelings more intensely than others would be less able to manage
them However, a critical component of awareness of emotions is the ability to assign meaning to them - to
know why we are experiencing a particular feeling or mood Psychologists have found that, among individuals who experience intense emotions, individual differences in the ability to assign meaning to those
feelings predict differences in the ability to manage them In other words, if two individuals are intensely
angry, the one who is better able to understand why he or she is angry will also be better able to manage the anger
Self-motivation refers to strong emotional self-control, which enables a person to get moving
and pursue worthy goals, persist at tasks even when frustrated, and resist the temptation to act on impulse
Resisting impulsive behavior is, according to Goleman, "the root of all emotional self-control."
Of all the attributes of Emotional Intelligence, the ability to postpone immediate gratification and to persist in working toward some greater future gain is most closely related to success - whether one is trying to build a
