in its public schools Around the country, however, most state schools have different rules about how many and how often vending machines should be accessible to students Although some

people believe that having these drink and snack machines in schools is a good idea, others

contend that there are many disadvantages, too

Doctors and other health workers, for instance, suggest that the main disadvantage of having vending machines in schools is based on health and nutrition They cite statistics that show school-aged children have poorly balanced diets, often due to eating too much fast food If vending machines are introduced to schools, children will have yet another option for eating

unhealthy foods In a survey of vending machine sales across the country, it was found that sweet drinks like colas and sugary snacks like candy bars were the biggest sellers Sugary foods and

drinks commonly cause obesity in consumers Opponents of vending machines in schools worry

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 43 to 50

A mansion is a very large home McDonald‟s is the name of a fast food hamburger chain What

do you get when you put the two together? You get McMansion, the recently-created name for a type of large, suburban, two storied home that originated in the United States Many people love McMansions for their low price, abundant space and impressive styling, but the news is not all

good In fact, McMansions may now be a threatened species McMansion became very popular

in the United States during the 1990s, and this popularity continued for almost 20 years During those years the economy was relatively strong, and banks were willing to lend large sums of money to people who wanted to buy a home The result was an increase in the average home size

In 1988, the average new American home was 170 square meters, but by 2008 this had risen to

244 square meters, a 44% increase To offset the greater costs of these large homes, land developers built many homes that all used a similar basic design and identical construction methods Framing and interior fittings were constructed in factories, instead of on site, and the materials used were often of a lower quality Finally, the sections of land used for each house were much smaller than before

The result was suburban developments full of huge homes, often over 280 square meters in floor area, that all looked similar to each other Their standardization and lowest-possible-cost construction reminded people of McDonald‟s hamburgers, hence the term McMansion For many

people a McMansion was their dream home, but that dream is now rapidly turning sour

There are two main problems with McMansions One problem is that their huge size means that they cost a lot to heat or cool Energy is becoming more expensive, so owners are faced with huge bills if they try to heat or cool their home The other problem is that McMansion owners are often in a lot of debt They borrowed a lot of money to pay for their impressive home, but during the 2000s, with struggling economy and high unemployment, they couldn‟t afford to

Trang 9

repay their loan

McMansions are still popular in some areas, but no one is sure how long it will last Will

energy become even more expensive and force owners to downsize? Will the economy grow and banks become more willing to lend again? Will the drop-in house prices allow larger, less affluent families to afford a McMansion? These questions are weighing heavily on the future of one of the most popular housing styles of the late 20th century

(Source: Reading planet)

A Their impressive designs make them dream homes for many people

B The large size of McMansions asks their owners for huge energy bills

C The identical look of the McMansions everywhere makes them no longer popular

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Bitcoins are a form of virtual currency In other words, they are a type of money that does not exist in the actual world However, they can be used to purchase actual products and services from real companies

The bitcoin system was created in 2009 by an enigmatic person named Satoshi Nakamoto In fact,

no one is sure if Satoshi Nakamoto is an actual person or a group of people Bitcoins are designed

to serve as an alternative to national currencies, such as dollars and euros They can be used to

pay for things online instead of cash or credit cards When bitcoins are transferred from a buyer to

a seller, the transaction is recorded in a public database

Governments are concerned that bitcoins can easily be stolen by hackers It has dawned on them that they might be used for illegal purposes For example, stolen goods could be purchased without the government‟s knowledge Although more and more companies are beginning to

accept bitcoins, the percentage of purchases made using bitcoins is minuscule compared to other

online payment methods, such as credit cards Instead, many bitcoin owners simply keep them as

an investment since they believe their bitcoins will be more valuable in the future

This may or may not be a wise approach Currently, the value of bitcoins is fluctuating wildly, especially when compared to highly stable national currencies Bitcoin investors are gambling on the hope that as this high-tech money becomes more widely accepted, its value will soar

A A new kind of currency in the virtual world

B A way of doing business in the virtual world

C An alternative to bitcoins created by Nakamoto

A dollars B euros C things D bitcoins

Question 33: The word “minuscule” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

A Considerable B small C minimal D increasing

Question 34: Why are bitcoins of great concern to governments?

A Because the value of bitcoins is fluctuating wildly

B Because bitcoins will eventually replace national currencies

C Because bitcoins may be used in illegal transactions

D Because most of bitcoin owners are hackers

Question 35: Which of the following is defined in the passage?

A Bitcoins B Transactions C Credit cards D Public Databases

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

A few years ago, astronomers discovered a mile-wide rock tumbling through space At first, the scientists feared that the newly discovered space rock would plow into Earth on February

1, 2019

Scientists named the space rock NT7 and clocked its speed at 7 miles per second The

scientists thought the asteroid was heading straight for Earth! A mile-wide asteroid could take out

an entire continent, scientists say Fearing the worst, scientists kept their eyes on NT7 They plotted its orbit, or path, around the sun

After watching NT7 for several weeks, scientists found out that NT7 would miss Earth on February 1, 2019 Most asteroids orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter NT7, however, is a near-Earth asteroid Near-Earth asteroids orbit the sun close to Earth NT7 orbits the sun once every 837 days Its orbit sometimes takes NT7 as far from the sun as Mars At other times, it is within Earth‟s orbit Scientists know about nearly 350 near-Earth asteroids They carefully map the orbits of those asteroids to make sure the asteroids don‟t come too close to our planet

Scientists say anywhere from 500 to 1,000 near-Earth asteroids are yet to be discovered

Trang 14

Scientists are searching the sky for them They want to have plenty of warning if one comes too close

An asteroid the size of NT7 may one day come close to Earth, scientists say “An object of this size would be expected to hit Earth every few million years, and as we get additional data I think this threat will go away,” said Donald Yeoman of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Yeoman and most other scientists say you shouldn‟t worry too much about asteroids Most don‟t think a space rock will pose a threat in the near future If an asteroid does come near Earth, scientists might be able to destroy it One scientist, for instance, said a large laser could be used to zap NT7 if the asteroid came too close to Earth

Many people often confuse asteroids and comets Asteroids are chunks of rock in space Comets are not made of rock They are made mostly of ice Comets spend most of their time far from the sun When a comet nears the sun, heat from the sun warms it, causing the ice to melt The melting ice forms a comet‟s long tail After rounding the sun, the comet moves farther away from the sun The comet cools and the tail slowly disappears

D Like comets, most asteroids have long tails when they pass Earth

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Apples are one of the healthiest foods you can eat every day A traditional American

proverb states: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away" But it does not specifically say anything

about the best time of day to eat apples It is generally believed that eating an apple in the morning

is good for people, but eating an apple in the evening is like eating poison

There is actually a scientific reason behind this belief One benefit of apples is that they are a favorable source of fructose, which is a natural form of sugar that gives you a big boost of energy

The energy you get from an apple is longer lasting than that provided by a cup of coffee Clearly,

this is something most people would rather experience in the morning than right before bedtime

Apples also contain high levels of pectin, a kind of dietary fiber Fiber stimulates bowel

movements, which help maintain the health of your digestive system But if you eat an apple shortly before going to bed, this can cause problems While you are asleep, your bowels can fill

up with gas, making you feel bloated and uncomfortable You may also wake up several times to use the bathroom, which will prevent you from getting a good night's sleep

Other health benefits of apples come from flavonoids, beta carotene, and B vitamins Flavonoids are the material that gives flowers and fruits their bright colors, such as the deep red of apples When eaten, flavonoids can decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses Meanwhile, beta carotene helps prevent cancer, and B vitamins provide the body with a wide variety of important benefits Apparently, starting your day with an apple really can keep the doctor away

Question 31: What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Apples are not as good as people may think

B Eating an apple in the morning proves beneficial

C Pectin can cause digestive problems at night

D.Flavonoids are as good as beta carotene

Question 32: The word “that” in paragraph 2 refers to

A an apple B energy C sugar D a cup of coffee

Question 33: The word “stimulates” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

A.prevents B avoids C encourages D creates

Question 34: Which of the following gives people a big boost of energy?

Question 35: Which of the following is true about flavonoids?

A They make apples‟ colours brighter than those of other fruits

B They are less important than beta carotene and B vitamins

C They help prevent the risks of several health problems

D They may lead to the feeling of being bloated and uncomfortable

Did you know that some people don‟t do their reading assignments?

Reading stimulates your mind It is like a workout for your brain When people get old, their muscles begin to deteriorate They get weaker and their strength leaves them Exercise can prevent this loss The same thing happens to people‟s brains when they get older Brain power and speed decline with age Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these declines

You can benefit from reading in the near-term too Reading provides knowledge Knowledge is power Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person You can learn to

do new things by reading Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more But you have to get good at reading, and the only way to get good at something is to practice

Read everything that you can at school, regardless of whether you find it interesting Reading expands your vocabulary Even a “boring” text can teach you new words Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself You will be able to speak, write, and think more intelligently What‟s boring about that?

Do not just discount a text because it is unfamiliar to you Each time you read, you are exposed to new ideas and perspectives Reading can change the way that you understand the world It can give you a broader perspective on things It can make you worldlier You can learn how people live in faraway places You can learn about cultures different from your own Reading

is good for your state of mind It has a calming effect It can lower your stress levels and help you relax You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read, and it‟s a positive escape The benefits of reading far outweigh those of acting like a doofus So do yourself a favor: the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it Squeeze it for every drop of knowledge that it contains Then move on to the next one

pimples? Unfortunately, many cures people think will work on pimples are really just myths

Many people believe that popping pimples is the best way to get rid of them Popping a pimple will actually push the germs further under the skin, which can cause more redness and pain, or even turn into an infection For that reason, dermatologists normally encourage people not

to pop their pimples

Another widely believed myth is that not wearing makeup can help reduce a person‟s chance of developing pimples In fact, some kinds of makeup or face creams actually have special medicine in them to fight pimples As a result, not all of them are bad for you

Another myth is that stress can cause acne Stress comes in many forms, like a big exam at school or problems with friends Whilst it is true that stress can cause a person‟s skin to create extra oil, this extra oil does not necessarily cause more pimples

them?

The faster a given object is moving, the more energy it possesses This kind of energy is

called “kinetic energy”, from the Greek word kinesis, meaning motion The faster a given object is

moving, the greater its kinetic energy

Imagine you‟re trying to hit a target with a bow and arrow If you just throw the arrow

with your hand, it won‟t go very fast, and even if your aim is good, the arrow won‟t penetrate the

target - it‟ll just bounce off!

But if you use the bow, you can shoot the arrow much faster The faster the arrow is going, the more kinetic energy it has Kinetic energy is what allows the arrow to puncture the target.Energy can never be created or destroyed, only transferred - moved from place to place One way energy is moved from place to place is by moving objects

Imagine hitting a tee ball with a bat When you hit the ball with the bat, energy is transferred from the bat to the ball If you swing the bat slowly, the ball won‟t go very far when you hit it But if you swing the bat faster, it will have more kinetic energy That energy will be transferred to the ball, and the ball will go much farther

Energy can also be transferred through sound Try high-fiving your friend very slowly You probably won‟t make very much sound If you high-five at the normal speed, your hands have more kinetic energy, and you‟ll make a nice smack What you‟re hearing is energy turned into sound The same thing happens when you hit a drum, or pluck the strings of a guitar

Energy can also be transferred through light Light from the sun makes your body feel warmer Plants use energy from light and grow bigger and make oxygen Energy can also be transferred through electricity This kind of energy can be used for almost anything But remember: Energy cannot be created Energy in the form of electricity has to be transferred from another kind of energy Wind power uses a machine called a turbine that turns the energy of the wind into electricity Coal, oil, and gas power bum different kinds of material, creating heat that gets turned into electricity Solar power generates electricity from the sun‟s light - although not as easily as a plant

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping – watching TV and buying things by phone Now teleshopping is starting in Europe In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things

Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels

In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day Then the government allowed more teleshopping Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things

Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason But at the

same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping They can do teleshopping

“junk on the air” Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV

The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person

Question 34 According to the passage, teleshopping in Europe is

A some people like teleshopping

B teleshopping allows doing shopping without leaving home

C there are problems of traffic in the cities

D other Europeans do not like the new way of shopping

Question 38 Some Europeans don‟t like teleshopping because they

A do not like to buy things indirectly B cannot afford to buy things on TV

Employees in many countries change jobs more often than previous generation of workers They don‟t expect to find a job with a company that will take care of them for the rest of their lives But what is the cause of this trend? Is it a new economy, new ways of doing business, or the employees themselves?

The translator must have an excellent, up-to-date knowledge of his source languages, hill facility in the handling of this target language, which will be his mother tongue or language of habitual use, an a knowledge and understanding of the latest subject-matter in his fields of specialization In addition to this, it is desirable that he should have an enquiring mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to grasp quickly the basic principles of new developments He should be willing to work on his own, often at high speeds, but should be humble enough to consult others should his own knowledge not always prove adequate to the task

in hand He should be able to type fairly quickly and accurately and, if he is working mainly for publication, should have more than a nodding acquaintance with printing techniques and proof-reading If he is working basically as an information translator, let us say, for an industrial firm,

he should have the flexibility of mind to enable him to switch rapidly from one source language to

another, as well as from one subject-matter to another, since this ability is frequently required of

him in such work Bearing in mind the nature of the translator‟s work, i.e the processing of the written word, it is, strictly speaking, unnecessary that he should be able to speak the languages he

is dealing with If he does speak them, it is an advantage rather than a hindrance, but this skill is

in many ways a luxury that he can dispense with It is, however, desirable that he should have an approximate idea about the pronunciation of his source languages, even if this is restricted to knowing how proper names and place names are pronounced The same applies to an ability to write his source languages If he can, well and good; if he cannot, it does not matter There are many other skills and qualities that are desirable in a translator

For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party on a sunny beach in Florida or Mexico In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent population of around 36,000, more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break destination in the U.S

A weeklong drinking binge is not for everyone, however, and a growing number of American

university students have found a way to make spring break matter For them, joining or leading a

Trang 37

group of volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to alleviate problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmental damage makes spring break unique learning experience that university students can feel good about

During one spring break week, students at James Madison University (JMU) in Virginia participated in 15 “alternative spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the U.S., and five international trips One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homeless shelter One group of students did go to Florida, but not to live on the sand They performed exhausting physical labor such as maintaining hiking trails and destroying invasive plant species that threaten the native Florida ecosystem

Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding While

most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are about to help people now On the other hand, the accommodations are far from glamorous Student often sleep on the floor of a school or spend the week camping in tents But students only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break hotspots

Alternative spring break strips appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the U.S Students cite a number of reasons for participating Some appreciate the opportunity to socialize and meet new friends Others want to exercise their beliefs about people‟s obligation to serve humanity and make the world a better place Whatever their reasons, these students have discovered something that gives them rich rewards along with a break from school work
