Temperatures in northern Viet Nam will rise by between 0.83 degrees Celsius by 2050 and
continue its uptrend during the late 21 st century. Summer rainfall will decline in most areas.
Meanwhile, storms may become rarer but fiercer, causing possible flash floods and landslides in
flood-prone areas of northern mountainous, central highland provinces. The forecasts suggest
sea level rises of 100mm-400mm along the entire Vietnamese coast by the end of the 21 st
century, affecting marine biodiversity and coastal communities. The experts emphasize the
unpredictability of climate change and its potential impacts to create a variety of dangerous
extreme weather events in the future.
To raise the public awareness of climate change impacts, the Vietnamese government
urges concerned agencies to work together on devising worst-case scenario models and
responses by 2020 and calls on international experts to further support Viet Nam in climate
change adaption. Climate change is a real threat to Viet Nam’s socio-economic development. If

If you want to go to a university, you usually apply during your last year at school, when

university that is not in their own town. So, university students usually live away from home.
8
Students get a grant from the government to study. At the beginning of your last year at school,
you receive an application form. On this form you choose up to five universities that you would
like to go to. The form is sent to those universities with information from your school about you
and your academic record. If the universities are interested in your application, they will ask you
to attend an interview. If they are still interested after the interview, they will offer you a place.
Any offer, however, is only conditional at this stage. Applications and interviews take place
several months before students do their A-level examinations. These are the exams that you do
at the end of your time at school. So, when a university makes an offer, it will tell you the
minimum grades that you will have to get when you do your A-level exams. If you don’t obtain
those grades, then, you will not be able to get the place. It will be offered to someone else and
you must apply again to another university. You don’t have to accept your place immediately.
Some students don’t want to go straight from school to university. So, after they have taken
their A-level, they take a year out to work or travel.
46. The main idea of the passage is_____ .
A. how to be accepted to a university

C. studying at a university
D. what to do after leaving school

The earth has warmed by about 1 degree Fahrenheit over the past 100 years. Scientists are
not exactly sure about the reason for this change in temperature. But many of the world’s best
climate scientists thinks that things people are doing are making the world warmer. Global
warming refers to an average increase in the earth’s temperature. This temperature change in
turn causes changes in climate. A warmer earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise
in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans.
When climate scientists talk about global warming, they are mainly talking about what is
caused by humans. Figuring out how we impact the environment makes it possible for us to
change our behaviors. Scientists think that the things we do that send gasses into the air are
making our planet warmer. During the Industrial Revolution, we began altering our climate
through agriculture and industry. Both agriculture and industry release huge amounts of gasses
into the air. The gasses then help trap the sun’s radiation in the earth’s atmosphere. Because of
this, the earth is warming up. The warmer the earth gets, the more water vapor is releases into
the air. Water vapor is a gas that traps heat, which makes the global warming process even
worse.
The Industrial Revolution was the time when people started using machines to make life
easier. Industry releases gasses by burning fuels. The Industrial Revolution made it easier for

16
humans to spread to all corners of the earth. People started cutting down forest, which recycle
gasses that trap heat in the atmosphere. This makes it even harder to get rid of the gasses we
create.
Global warming is a big problem that must be solved soon. If everybody
joins together, there is no doubt that we can stop the process.
28. What is making the world warmer?
A. The sun, which is getting warmer. B. The things people are doing.
C. The melting ice caps. D. The earth, which is a big place.
29. Which of the following is NOT a problem of global warming?
A. Rising sea level.
B. Changes in rainfall patterns.
C. Massive snow and ice storms.
D. Impacts on plants, animals and humans.
30. The word altering is closest in meaning to ………
A. affecting B. worsening C. warming D. changing
31. When did we begin changing our climate?
A. Over the past 100 years. B. During the Industrial Revolution.
C. At the time of Fahrenheit. D. Since the dawn of history.
32. What can forests do to help?
A. They provide us with more entertainment.
B. They recycle gasses.
C. They’re good for building houses.
D. They provide the best place for orphans.

Ha Long Bay
Ha Long Bay is a group of offshore islands that is the best example of marine invaded limestone
region in the world. The Bay holds over 1600 islands and islets. There are caves and grottoes,
with stalactites and stalagmites. Its limestone pillars are a unique natural feature of great scenic
beauty and biological interest. The great extent and the richness of its forms sets it apart from
many other sites.
Ha Long Bay is an extremely popular destination both for foreigners and Vietnamese. The early
1990s saw over 1 million visitors a year. It is unlikely that the number has decreased over the
years – so there will always be about 3000 other people in the Bay at the same time as you!
The natural beauty of the Bay lay hidden today under a very common fog. As I had already
seen the similar karst landscape in China a couple of years before, I certainly said that I was
blown away by the beauty of Ha Long Bay. We went onto one of the islands to visit the
Surprising Cave – an indeed surprisingly big and beautiful cave with three hollow chambers. We
saw some monkeys here too, just outside the cave exit.
Part of the tour was half an hour of kayaking – enough to paddle a full circle around the main
area. The views from the kayak I found much more impressive than from the larger boat: you’re
so tiny then and the peaks rise sharply in front of you. I had a better look at the water too, and
cannot say that I saw pollution by plastic or other junk floating around. There is a thin layer of oil
on the water in some part though.
And then it’s time to get back in the bus to Ha Noi, another 3.5 hours. Their tour was carried out
well with good seafood for lunch and I had a satisfying day.
46. The attraction that Ha Long Bay offer to tourists is______.
A. A large number of islands and islets
B. The largest limestone region in the world
C. Its caves and grottoes, with stalactites and stalagmites
D. Its unique value of landscape and biology
47. The writer was______ .
A. Able to escape from an explosion is Ha Long Bay
B. Very impressed by the beauty of Ha Long Bay
C. Unable to see Ha Long Bay due to the fog
D. Really frightened of visiting the Surprising Cave
48. All of the following statements are true about Ha Long Bay EXCEPT that___ .
A. The writer thought its beauty surpassed many other sites
B. The writer didn’t think the number of tourists had decreased over the years
C. The writer saw some monkeys in the chambers of the Surprising Cave
D. It took three and a half hours to travel from Ha Noi to Ha Long Bay by bus
49. During half an hour of kayaking, the writer found that____ .
A. He was more impressed by the view from the kayak than by that from the boat
B. The problem of pollution there was serious with plastic or other junk floating around
C. He could see the peaks rise sharply in front of him
D. He could see a thin layer of oil on the water in a full circle around the main area
50. The word “karst” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____ .
21
A. The common landscape found in China suitable for kayaking and boating
B. An irregular limestone region with underground streams, and caves
C. A large number of island and islets in Viet Nam and China
D. The explosive that can blow tourist away if they are not careful

Predictions about the Cities of the Future
Cities are built to survive and prosper. Over the years, we have learned to transform our
surroundings according to our needs. We have cut through mountains to make more land and
created artificial islands to make skyscrapers. City planning, as an organized profession, has
existed for less than a century. However, a considerable amount of evidence (both
archaeological and historical) proves the existence of fully planned cities in ancient times. Over
the years, humans have made some mistakes in terms of using an excessive amount of
resources for cities. This gives rise to the question of how sustainable the cities of the future
would be.
We might be looking at smart cities in which street lights would only switch on when you are
close by and traffic light would be eliminated by smart driving. The cities of the future would try
to save our resources rather than deplete them.
An example of an advanced city is Kansas. Plans are in place to make K ansas a smart
futuristic city in the future. Planners are considering introducing sensors to monitor the water
mains. Warning would be issued to city officials when the infrastructure requires repair or
replacement. In this way, the city would never be at risk of having broken pipes.
While the idea sound fantastic, a large amount of rational critique has called this plan an
oversold dream. Amy Glasmier is an urban planning professor at MIT. She is a smart city
skeptic who believes that all the research and talk is great but gravely oversold.
46. City planning is thought ____.
A. to have become a profession for about a hundred years
B. to have existed professionally since ancient times
C. to have come into existence to transform nature
D. to make more land and created artificial islands to make skyscrapers
47. The most important task in building is_____ .
A. to use an excessive amount of resources for cities
B. to raise the question about the future
C. to make cities in the future sustainable
D. to make future cities more organized
48. All of the following statements may be true about smart cities EXCEPT that __.
25
A. street lights automatically switch on when necessary
B. traffic light would be controlled by smart driving
C. smart driving wouldn’t need traffic light
D. cities in the future would conserve energy
49. The residents in Kansas would not be worried about water in the future because___ .
A. the infrastructure requires no repair or replacement
B. the city will never have broken water pipes
C. city officials often repair or replace the water mains
D. there may be no disruption to water supply
50. The attitude of Amy Glasmier towards smart cities is ____ .
A. Supportive B. doubtful C. indifferent D. disgusting

In the future, genetic engineering will allow us to create the perfect human. It will be hard to
get used to. Parents will order a baby who will grow up to become a genius or to have a Miss
World appearance. Also, genetic engineering will allow us to mix plants and animals.
As computers have advanced, they have helped us remember, calculate, organize, and
clarify. So it will become easier to deal with things, and much quicker. At a point in a future time,
some may claim that computers become about as smart as Newton or Einstein. More advanced
computers will be able to be creative, respond to feelings in a feeling way, develop intuition,
recognize patterns, and suggest innovative alternatives. There is a hope if we choose to take
action. We can select Internet information wisely, choose healthy computer games, limit our
exposure to television commercials, and select television programs carefully. People will be
aware of the importance of keeping active, getting outside to do more physical activities. We will
also plan to make a major sacrifice the next time we buy a car, take the bus. Everybody will be
more concerned about making environmentally friendly choices, eating healthy, and helping
build a healthier society by shopping at better stores that sell better food.
Most people will be aware that a happy, loving family is a joy to be part of, and that it is a
necessary foundation for building a strong society. But it is extremely important for our future
that we maintain a healthy perspective. We need to value and appreciate the importance of
what can be achieved by loving and committed parents. People need a strong foundation, so it
is vital for our society that we encourage parents to work at creating love, joy, and happiness for
their children in a decent, stable, and productive atmosphere.

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each
course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many
American universities the total work for a degree consists of three classes per week for fifteen
weeks; while attending university a student will probably attend two terms each year. It is
possible to spread to period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a
student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is
not in fact done as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the
record is useful for the student to show to coming employers. Most of the students feel the
pressure of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student
affairs. The students are interested in elections to positions in student organization. The
effective work of keeping orders is usually performed by students who advise the university
authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has
to appear before a student court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the
system includes a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions is
much respected and it will be of importance to him later in his career.
