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 
Did you know that your small intestine is nearly six meters long? Or that there are about 60
muscles in your face, and you use 40 of them to frown but only 20 to smile? How about the fact
that our bodies consist of 73 percent water, and that our hearts beat over 100,000 times each
day? You really are amazing! 
The human body is a complex machine. From the day we are born, our bodies grow and
change in response to our environment, diet, and habits. The body has many different organ
systems and parts that work together to allow us to breathe, move, see, talk, and digest food all
at the same time. Most of the time we are unaware of what is happening in our bodies, usually it
is only when we get sick or feel pain that we notice. 
Many people do not take care of their complex machines. Bad habits like smoking, drinking
too much alcohol, and eating junk food damage our bodies. Stress can also cause health
problems. People who worry a lot or have busy jobs often don't get enough sleep, or don't eat
properly. We also can damage our bodies when we play sports or get into accidents. Studies
done by the Australian government show that most people get hurt because of an accidental slip
or fall, or because of injuries from car accidents. It's true that a lot of people go to hospital
because of serious illnesses, but far more people end up there because they simply weren't being
carefill.

Like machines, different body parts sometimes wear down from old age. People over the
age of 65 are more likely to fall and hurt themselves. And these injuries - from bad cuts to
broken bones - usually require serious medical attention. Due to the increase in the population
of elderly people, gerontology is now one of the fastest growing areas of medicine. There are
many treatments available to help older people recover from illness and injury. It is now
common for older people with damaged joints, for example, to have surgery to replace the old
joint with a new one made of plastic or metal. Instead of suffering aches and pains through their
retirement days, older people are able to lead happier and more comfortable lives. 
As with any machine, the better you take care of it, the longer it will last. The best way to
take care of your amazing machine is to eat the right foods, do regular exercise, and get enough
sleep. Oh, and don't forget to smile!

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 
About fifty years ago, plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in
laboratory flasks. The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple. They
required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins. However, they did not require organic
nitrogen compounds. These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are
capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activities by roots
require energy, of course. The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy
compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also requires oxygen.
Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen. 
The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots
and roots in intact plants. The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins,
and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals. In addition, roots can provide the
shoots with organic nitrogen compounds. This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the
early spring when leaves are not yet functioning. Once leaves begin photosynthesizing, they
produce protein, but only mature leaves can "export" protein to the rest of the plant in the form
of amino acids. 
Câu 30: According to the passage, what is ATP?
A. a chemical compound  B. The tip of a root
C. A biochemical process  D. A type of plant
cell 
Câu 31: Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
A. The results of two experiments are compared
B. A generalization is made and several examples of it are given
C. A hypothesis is presented, and several means of providing it are suggested
D. The findings of an experiment are explained 
Câu 32: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The relationship between a plant's roots and its shoots
B. How plants can be grown without roots
C. What can be learned by growing roots in isolation
D. What elements are necessary for the growth of isolation 
Câu 33: It can be inferred from the passage, in the early spring, the buds of plants __________.
A. obtain organic compounds from the roots B. do not require water
C. have begun photosynthesizing  D. “export” protein in the form of amino
acids
