each of the questions.
The family in Britain is changing. The once typical British family headed by two parents has
undergone substantial changes during the twentieth century. In particular there has been a rise in the
number of single-person households, which increased from 18 to 29 per cent of all households
between 1971 and 2002. By the year 2020, it is estimated that there will be more single people than
married people. Fifty years ago, this would have been socially unacceptable in Britain.
In the past, people got married and stayed married. Divorce was very difficult, expensive and
took a long time. Today, people's views on marriage are changing. Many couples, mostly in their
twenties or thirties, live together (cohabit) without getting married. Only about 60% of these couples
will eventually get married.
In the past, people married before they had children, but now about 40% of children in
Britain are born to unmarried cohabiting) parents. In 2000, around a quarter of unmarried people
between the ages of 16 and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain. Cohabiting couples are also starting
families without first being married. Before 1960 this was very unusual, but in 2001 around 23 per
cent of births in the UK were to cohabiting couples.
9
People are generally getting married at a later age now and many women do not want to have
children immediately. They prefer to concentrate on their jobs and put off having a baby until late
thirties.
The number of single-parent families is increasing. This is mainly due to more marriages
ending in divorce, but some women are also choosing to have children as lone parents without being
married.
36. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Changing Values and Norms of the British Family
B. Changes in Marriage among British Young Generations

B. Half of the children in Britain now are born to unmarried couples.
C. Women in Britain now do not want to have children right after marriage.

Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor
might give us? This fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out by
Utrecht University. What is even more interesting is that almost half of what we think we remember
is wrong. Why do you think this is? Well, it’s not as complicated as you may think. You see, going
to the doctor fills most people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed we are
more likely to focus on the diagnosis rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what is wrong
with us but have no idea what to do about it.
Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always write down any
important information. What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your
consultation. This way, you can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to absorb it.
If you believe the situation is serious or you’re really worried, seek the help of a family member.
Just ask them to accompany you to listen in. This way you can be absolutely sure about what the
doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap that most people do.
36. According to the passage, the information doctors give us ____.

A. is about 50% wrong B. is only 80% correct
C. is mostly forgotten D. is usually not enough
37. The word “complicated” in the passage is opposite in meaning to ____.
A. good B. quick C. short D. simple
38. The author says that when people consult a doctor, ____.
A. they always believe that their situation is serious
B. they are interested in knowing what they should do
C. they only want to know what is wrong with them
D. they usually have a family member with them
20
39. The word “absorb” in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. digest B. inhale C. swallow D. take in
40. The author suggests recording the consultant in order to ____.
A. play it to your family members to get their opinions
B. refer to it later to better understand your condition
C. replay it to write down any important information
D. use it as evidence against your doctor if necessary

hợp đó.
Independent Clause 1, coordinating conjunction Independent Clause 2
b. Ví dụ
→ He is very handsome, and he speaks English very well.
(Anh ấy rất đẹp trai và anh ấy nói tiếng Anh rất hay.)

very well" bằng liên từ "and" và cách nhau bởi dấu ","
→ She is a talented singer, so many people admire her.
Cô ấy là một ca sĩ tài năng vì thế rất nhiều người hâm mộ cô ấy.
Tương tự câu 1, trong câu này, mệnh đề 1 - "She is a talented singer" kết nối với mệnh đề số 2 -
"many people admire her" bằng liên từ "so" và cách nhau bởi dấu ","
c. Một số ví dụ khác:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s was the only-surviving son of Leopold and Maria Pertl
Mozart. Leopold was a successful composer, violinist, and assistant concert master at the Salzburg
court. Wolfgang's mother, a constantly ill housewife, was born to a middle class family of local
community leaders. His only sister was Maria Anna. With their father’s encouragement and
guidance, they both were introduced to music at an early age. Leopold started Anna on keyboard
when she was seven, as three-year old Wolfgang looked on Mimicking her playing, Wolfgang
quickly began to show a strong understanding of chords, tonality, and tempo. Soon, he too was
being tutored by his father.
Leopold was a devoted and task-oriented teacher to both his children. He made the lessons
fun, but also insisted on a strong work ethic and perfection. Fortunately, both children excelled well
in these areas. Recognizing their special talents, Leopold devoted much of his time to their
education in music as well as other subjects. Wolfgang soon showed signs of excelling beyond his
father's teachings with an early composition at age five and demonstrating outstanding ability on
harpsichord and the violin. He would soon go on to play the piano, organ and viola.

B. GRAMMAR
I. PAST SIMPLE & PAST CONTINUOUS
Thì Quá khứ đơn và thì Quá khứ tiếp diễn
a. Thì Quá khứ đơn
Động từ to be
S + was / were + ...
Trong đó:
• was đi với các chủ ngữ số ít: I, He, She, It, ...
• were đi với: You, We, They, và các chủ ngữ số nhiều khác.
Động từ thường
S + V (past simple) + ...
Trong đó:
• Thêm "ed" nếu đó là động từ có quy tắc.
• Không thêm "ed" mà biến đổi khác nếu là động từ bất quy tắc.
MỘT SỐ ĐỘNG TỪ BẤT QUY TẮC THƯỜNG GẶP
become → became go → went ring → rang
bring → brought have → had see → saw
buy → bought make → made teach → taught
do → did meet → met wear → wore
read → read write → wrote get → got
Ex: He visited some palaces. Cậu ấy đã đi thăm một số lâu đài.
Động từ visit được thêm đuổi ed thành visited - dạng quá khứ đơn của động từ visit.
It began to rain. Trời đã bắt đầu mưa.
Trong ví dụ này, động từ begin biến đổi thành began vì đây là động từ bất quy tắc.
2. Thì Quá khứ tiếp diễn
S + was / were + V-ing + …
Trong đó: + was đi với các chủ ngữ số ít: I, He, She, It, ...
+ were đi với: You, We, They, và các chủ ngữ số nhiều khác.
Ex: Andy was staying in Paris. Andy đang ở Paris.
Động từ stay chia thành was staying tương ứng với chủ ngữ số ít là Andy.
We were walking in the park. Chúng tôi đang đi bộ trong công viên.
Động từ walk chia thành were walking tương ứng với chủ ngữ số nhiều là We.
II. KHÁC BIỆT TRONG CÁC CÁCH SỬ DỤNG
1. Khác biệt 1
• Thì quá khứ đơn dùng để diễn tả một hành động đã hoàn thành tại một thời điểm trong quá khứ.
• Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn nhấn mạnh sự việc đang xảy ra tại một thời điểm trong quá khứ.
Ex: I did my homework at 4 p.m. yesterday.
Tớ đã làm xong bài tập lúc 4h chiều hôm qua. - sự việc đã hoàn thành vào 4h chiều
qua.
32
I was doing my homework at 4 p.m. yesterday.
Tớ đang làm bài tập vào lúc 4h chiều qua. -vẫn đang diễn ra, chưa hoàn thành vào
4h chiều qua.
My parents got up at 5.30 a.m. yesterday.
Sáng hôm qua bố mẹ tớ dậy lúc 5h30.
My sister and I were sleeping at 5.30 yesterday.
Chị tớ và tớ vẫn đang ngủ lúc 5.30 sáng qua.
2. Khác biệt 2
• Thì quá khứ đơn: diễn tả một chuỗi các hành động trong quá khứ, hành động này xảy ra sau hành
động khác. Thường dùng kết hợp với các từ nối như and hay then.
• Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn: diễn tả các hành động xảy ra song song đồng thời. Thường sử dụng liên từ
while, có nghĩa là trong khi.
Ex: She came home, opened the window and turned on the TV.
Cô ấy về nhà, mở cửa sổ và bật tivi. - một chuỗi các hành động diễn ra lần lượt.
She was watching TV while her husband was cooking.
Cô ấy đang xem tivi trong khi chồng cô ấy đang nấu cơm. - 2 hành động xảy ra cùng
lúc
She came in the room and then looked around for a seat.
Cô ấy vào phòng và sau đó tìm một ghế để ngồi.
He was playing a mobile game while the teacher was speaking.
Cậu ấy đang chơi game trên điện thoại di động trong khi cô giáo đang giảng bài.
III. KẾT HỢP THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN VÀ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN
Kết hợp thì quá khứ đơn và quá khứ tiếp diễn, sử dụng when hoặc while để diễn tả một hành động
đang xảy ra thì hành động khác xen vào.
• Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn được dùng để diễn tả hành động đang xảy ra, thường là dài hơn, lâu hơn và
được đi với while hoặc when.
• Thì quá khứ đơn diễn tả hành động xen vào và chỉ đi với when.
LƯU Ý:
• Khi When hoặc While đứng đầu câu thì cần có dấu phẩy ngăn cách 2 mệnh đề.
• Khi when hoặc while đứng giữa 2 mệnh đề thì không cần dấu phẩy.
• Không dùng when và while trong cùng một câu.
Ex: When the phone rang, we were having dinner.
Khi điện thoại kêu, chúng tôi đang ăn tối.
Trong ví dụ trên, the phone rang là việc xen vào nên chia ở quá khứ đơn và đi với When, còn we
were having dinner là việc đang xảy ra nên chia ở thì quá khứ tiếp diễn.
Câu trên cũng có thể viết thành:
The phone rang while we were having dinner.
Điện thoại kêu trong khi chúng tôi đang ăn tối.
Trong câu này, we were having dinner chia ở thì quá khứ tiếp diễn, đi với while. Liên từ while đứng
ở giữa câu nên không cần dấu phẩy.
When the teacher asked me a question, I wasn't listening.
Khi cô giáo hỏi tôi, tôi đang không chú ý lắng nghe.
We arrived at school while it was raining. (We arrived at school when it was raining.)
Chúng tôi đến trường trong khi trời đang mưa.

Clarissa Barton, called Clara, was born in 1821 in Oxford, Massachusetts. At a time when
relatively few women worked outside the home, Barton built a career helping others. One of her
greatest accomplishments was founding the American Red Cross. This organization helps victims of
war and disasters.
Clara Barton taught school for many years. In 1854, she moved to Washington, D.C., and
took a job in the government patent office. She was probably the first woman to hold a government
job!
When the Civil War began in 1861, Barton volunteered. She gathered supplies to help feed
and care for wounded soldiers. She also served as a nurse. Barton possessed excellent organizing
skills and knew how to get things done. After the Civil War ended in 1865, Barton took on the job
of locating soldiers who were missing. She ran an office that tracked down information on nearly
22,000 men and contacted their families.
Barton took her organizational skills to Europe in 1869. She worked with the International
Red Cross to set up hospitals during the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) between France and
Germany. Barton returned to the United States in 1873.
The Red Cross was founded in Switzerland in the 1860s to care for wounded soldiers during
wartime. Nations agreed to follow its policies on the treatment of wounded soldiers by signing a
treaty. Barton spent years pushing the United States Congress to approve the International Red
Cross treaty. In 1881, she finally won support for creating the American Red Cross. Barton served
as president of the organization until 1904.
37
In 1884, Barton attended an International Red Cross conference in Switzerland. As a result
of her efforts, the Red Cross expanded its activities. From helping only victims of war, it began also
to help victims of peacetime disasters, such as earthquakes and floods.
Barton's efforts comforted people around the world. Red Cross aid helped people in need
during epidemics (outbreaks of disease), floods, famines, and war. Barton became famous for her
work.
Clara Barton died in Maryland at the age of 91. She had spent her life helping others.
36. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Clarissa Barton B. the American Red Cross
C. The Red Cross D. wounded soldiers
37. What did Clara Barton NOT do when she was alive according to the passage?
A. founding the American Red Cross B. chairing Red Cross conferences
C. holding a government job D. caring for wounded soldiers
38. The phase "tracked down" in the passage almost means ____.
A. gathered B. analyzed C. searched D. stored
39. How long did Clara Barton work for the American Red Cross?
A. 7 years B. 44 years C. 24 years D. 4 years
40. The word "comforted” in the passage almost means ____.
A. make someone feel less unhappy
B. help someone feel less disappointed

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
THE VANISHING INVENTION
In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio Cervilla discovered how
to use water as a substitute for petrol. The scientist said that you could drive from Bilbao to
Valencia on just half a litre of water. His invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down
water into hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike other methods, no electricity is required and the reaction
happens at atmospheric temperature. This impressive technology is based on the way plant enzymes
break down water. The use of molybdenum is the perfect choice because, although rare, it is cheap
and found all around the planet.
Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology. There is
no explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the internet, apart from a list of similar inventions
which have also vanished. An inventor from the Philipines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-
fuelled car but was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. If this technology were to become
widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol station owners and would also save the planet
from the impending environmental catastrophes being caused by pollution.
36. The word “substitute” in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.

A. addition B. alternative C. imitation D. solution
37. Which of the following is NOT true about Cervilla’s invention?
A. It happens at atmospheric temperature.
B. It imitates something in nature.
C. It requires no electricity.
D. It uses enzymes to break down water.

A. enzyme B. molybdenum C. petrol D. water
39. The word “vanished” in the passage is opposite in meaning to ____.
A. appeared B. produced C. introduced D. invented
40. It is stated in the passage that water-fuelled cars may contribute to ____.
A. save energy B. save environment C. save money D. save time

Read the text and questions below. Mark the correct letter A, B, C or D for each question.
In the year 1837, Charles Babbage was the first to think about something that would function
like a computer and ended up designing a programmable mechanical computer that he called “The
Analytical Engine” but because of limited finance, and the inability to stop himself from trying to
upgrade it and find some innovation with the design, Babbage could never actually build his
Analytical Engine.
Then Konrad Zuse, in 1941, also wanted to make something that would be like a computer.
He created electromechanical “Z machine”, in Z3, which was the first working machine. It featured
binary arithmetic, including floating point arithmetic and a measure of programmability. Zuse also
started the first Computer start-up company, which was established in 1946.
After five long years since the appearance of the Z3 came the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Computer). The ENIAC was called the first computer and there were strong reasons
to do so. It was a digital computer that could be reprogrammed to find a solution to a full range of
computing problems. This was not the first computer that could do all this because there were earlier
computers that were built with some of the above-mentioned properties. The primary reason to
design the ENIAC was to facilitate the calculation of the artillery firing tables for the Ballistic
Research Laboratory of the U.S.
49
The ENIAC was massive in its physical size if you compare it to modern PCs that are
available now. It contained approximately 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, 1,500 relays,
70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors and around 5 million hand-soldered joints, so the weight is not
very weird that it weighed somewhere like 27 tons. It consumed around 150 kW of power. The
ENIAC was reliable, programmable, though not as easy and user friendly as the modern day
computers.
36. The passage is about _______.

A. the birth of the first computers
B. Charles Babbage and “The Analytical Engine”
C. the first Computer Company D. a massive working machine
37. One of the reasons that stopped Charles Babbage from continuing working on his
machine was that _______.
A. the machine was unable to work B. the government forced him to give it up
C. he did not have enough money D. he did not like it any longer
38. The Z3 could only work on _______.
A. mathematics B. geography C. chemistry D. history
39. Konrad Zuse _______.
A. was born in 1941 B. bought the Z3 from Chales Babbage
C. had a computer company D. could not complete this machine
40. The pronoun It refers to _______.
A. the first computer company B. the Z3
C. the ENIAC D. arithmetic
