Read a text about common wedding rituals in the USA and answer the questions that follow
The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the physical
location of the restaurant, e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal;
and certain standards that are more universal In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere Learning the proper etiquette in a
particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more
commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience For example, while it is acceptable to
read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to do the same in a more luxurious setting And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt,
but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of
manners It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to
indiscriminately throw your food on the floor The conclusion we can most likely draw from the
above is that while the types and locations of restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to
them, some rules apply to all restaurants
27 With what topic is this passage primarily concerned?
A Instruction in proper etiquette
B Rules of etiquette
C Variable and universal standards of etiquette
D The importance of good manners
28 Which of the following words is most similar to the meaning of "rustic"?
Trang 4C very clever
D possible
30 What does the word "it" in bold and underlined refer to?
A Knowing the type of restaurant
B Clear instruction
C Learning the proper etiquette
D Sensitivity
31 According to the passage, which of the following is a universal rule of etiquette?
A Eating in rustic settings
B Tucking a napkin in your shirt
C Reading a magazine at a coffee shop
D Not throwing food on the floor
32 The word “manners” in bold could best be replaced by which of the following?
A Tact
B Ceremony
C Experience
D Character

V Reading the following text and answer the questions below
The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously
thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday
Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that
is submerging small island nations and threatening to wreak havoc in low-lying,
densely-populated delta regions around the globe
The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of
warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans It also serves as a corrective to a
Trang 7massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), according to the authors
Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional
water from melting sources of ice Both processes are caused by global warming The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by
seven metres (23 feet), which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai
Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically
important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say But up to now, there has been a perplexing gap between the projections of computer-
based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans
The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate
Research, is the first to reconcile the models with observed data Using new techniques to
assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 metres (2,300 feet) from 1961 to 2003, it shows
that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimetre-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC
23 What happens when the ocean's temperature rises?
A It causes sea levels to rise
B It causes sea levels to remain constant
C It causes sea levels to decrease
24 The rise in water levels is especially dangerous for small island nations and:
A low-lying urban areas
B all coastal cities
C people who live on the beach
25 The new study:
A shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.32 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels
B did not reveal anything that scientists didn't already know
C used new techniques to assess ocean temperatures
26 Ultimately, the new study should help scientists to:
A lower water levels
B better predict climate change
C bury sea-level cities like Dhaka and Shanghai
27 What was the main finding of the study?
A That not enough is being done about global warming
B That ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought
C That the warming of the world's oceans is not a threat
VI Read the following passage and choose the best answer to fill in each blank
It is a common belief that adults are responsible for „big issues‟ such as environmental
protection and conservation, and youths can do nothing but focus on their studies or have fun (28) , the stories of the young people in the Young Voices for the Planet show that even
at a young age, people are able to do something for their communities and can really contribute
to the care and preservation of the environment
Trang 8Kids can also do things to (29) a difference, given the chance And though their skills and talents may vary, they can use their unique gifts to help to preserve the environment and
save the world One of the children in the stories, Olivia, says:
"Every one of us has a great gift we can use to help the earth Everyone, (30) _ any age,
can do something, whether it is picking up rubbish along the side of the road, filling a bird
feeder, or bringing reusable bags to the grocery store For me, I used my artwork Find your
cause and use your talents The quality of our world is counting on you."
It is remarkable that someone (31) _ as Olivia can understand so well the connection
between society, the environment, and the problems we are facing today It has been proved
that every small act of kindness we show can make a great impact on the world around us
For some people, (32) protection and conservation means stopping the growth and
development of technology and society But this is a popular belief that is not true Protecting
the environment isn't about stopping progress It's about (33) our consumption habits
and taking care of the environment Just by doing simple things, every one of us including the
youths can do their share in making this world a better place to live
28 A However B Therefore C Although D Because
31 A young B younger C the yougest D as young
32 A environment B environmental C environmentalist D environmentalism

VII A group of students is discussing what they should do to help to reduce their

A Lan: Well, what do you think we should do to help to reduce our community's carbon
footprint?
B Mai: I agree And I think we should also try to use less paper
C Minh: In my opinion, we should start cutting down our energy use If we use LED light bulbs
or turning off electronic devices when they are not in use, we can save a large amount of
electricity
D Lan: Uh-huh These things are very easy to do What do you think, Mai?
E Mai: This can help to save trees and forests since most paper products are made from wood
Do you agree with me, Lan?
F Minh: Use less paper? What makes you think so?
G Lan: Well, I don't think that will help much I believe that we should start a reuse-and-recycle campaign Then we can help to reduce waste and pollution, and conserve natural resources
