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.
Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the earth The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in
Patagonia, a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America Besides the interesting fact that the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs
were found together This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone
The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely
related to it as a fox would be to a dog It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus Rex,
being as different from it as a cat is from a dog
The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago With needle-shaped noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were
slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely.

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.
Trang 4Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture Marring our gardens is one of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted They clog waterways,
destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for one-third of all crop loss They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants
The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry Its herbicides are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused Toxic compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and drinking water They also harm workers who apply them
In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically sound Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems Hence, scientists are exploring the
innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms.
The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans They can
be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance Furthermore, a number of
biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed Chemicals
typically must be used several times per growing season
Question 45: With what topic does this passage primarily deal?
A The importance of the chemical industry.
B The dangers of toxic chemicals.
C A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides.
D Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones.

A weeds B nutrients C wildlife habitats D grazing area
Question 49: Which of the following statements about the use of chemical agents as herbicides would the
author most likely agree?
A It is occasionally required B It is safe but inefficient.
C It should be increased D It has become more dangerous recently.
Question 50: Which of the following is NOT given as an advantage of using biological agents over
chemical herbicides?
A They are safer for workers.
B They are less likely to destroy desirable plants.
C They are more easily available.
D They do not have to be used as often.
Question 51: The word “innate” in bold is closest in meaning to .
A effective B organic C natural D active

A herbicides B useful plants C insects and microorganisms D weeds

BÀI VIẾT:
Advertising is the best tool for producers to promote their products; however, not all people like it because it has advantages and disadvantages
Looking at the positive part, advertisements tell us about the products or the choices available in the market Without advertisements we would have had very less choices of product to buy, buying a good product with all the features we are looking for, would have been very difficult Further more, it creates many job opportunities and employs many people, hence helps in reducing unemployment
On the other hand, these are some problems in advertising Many advertisements are aimed on children who easily get carried away and insist parents to buy what they see in the advertisements Not to mention, few people argue that some companies use obscene materials in their advertisements to attract views which pollutes viewers’ minds especially that of younger ones
To sum up, advertising is important for a company to sustain itself in the competitive market but
companies should follow certain ethics and a code of conduct in order to eliminate harmful effects of advertising
