TEXT 1
A. Read the text and complete the fact file about coral reefs. Write no more than three
words and/or a number.

Under the Sea

Living coral reefs are amazing ‘cities beneath the sea’ that are full of life. The reefs
develop well in the warm oceans near the Equator 1. Among the world’s most colorful places,
coral reefs are home to brightly coloured fish. Reef fish are an important food source for
people around the world.

Coral reefs are one of Việt Nam’s unique marine ecosystems. Coral reefs in Việt Nam
are seen from the North to the South, with a total area of over 1100 km 2. Each year,
thousands of visitors come to see this remarkable world beneath the waves. However, there
are rules – visitors can only visit a part of the reef. In this way, they can enjoy the reef and
protect it for future generations.

Recently, coral reefs and the species that depend on them have become endangered.
One of the biggest threats is an illegal way of fishing that uses bombs in the water to kill as
many fish as possible. Water pollution also damages reefs. In addition, warmer water in the
oceans has been causing many areas of reefs to turn white. Local communities are worried
that further warming may damage coral reefs even more.

Threats to coral reefs are serious, but there is reason to hope that they will survive.
Coral reef conservation can help these species, which have survived for millions of years, to
rebuild the damaged reefs that so many ocean creatures and plants depend on.

TEXT 2
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer.

There have been many famous detectives in literature. But one of the first-and
certainly the most famous is Sherlock Holmes. Holmes was created by the British writer Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle in the late nineteenth century.
Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in the work A Study in Scarlet, which
was published in 1887. Holmes instantly became a popular literary figure with the general
populace, who demanded that Doyle write more stories involving him. Doyle compiled and
eventually wound up writing fifty-six short stories and four novels that featured Holmes.
While he took a break of several years from creating stories about Holmes, Doyle continued
to write Holmes stories until 1927. Among the most famous of all the works featuring
Holmes are The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Blue Carbuncle, and A Scandal in Bohemia
One of the reasons that Sherlock Holmes was so popular concerns the method he
employs to solve his cases: logic. Together with his partner, Dr. Watson, Holmes uses his
powers of observation to detect clues that can help him solve the cases he accepts. Holmes
has an incredibly sharp mind that enables him to determine who the guilty party is or what
the problem is. Holmes also is a master of disguise, which he proves many times, and he is
skilled at boxing as well as sword fighting.
While Holmes often solves cases that are unrelated to one another, he has a nemesis
with whom he comes into both direct and indirect conflict in several stories. That person is
Professor Moriarty, the leader of a crime ring in London. In one of the stories, The Final
Problem, Holmes and Moriarty fight one another and fall to their deaths by plunging down a
steep cliff near a waterfall. When he wrote that story, Doyle had tired of Holmes and wanted
to kill off the character. He then refrained from writing about Holmes for many years but
public demand for more detective stories induced him to bring Holmes back from the dead
and to continue writing.

thousands of visitors come to see this remarkable world beneath the waves. However, there
are rules – visitors can only visit a part of the reef. In this way, they can enjoy the reef and
protect it for future generations.

Recently, coral reefs and the species that depend on them have become endangered.
One of the biggest threats is an illegal way of fishing that uses bombs in the water to kill as

many fish as possible. Water pollution also damages reefs. In addition, warmer water in the
oceans has been causing many areas of reefs to turn white. Local communities are worried
that further warming may damage coral reefs even more.

Threats to coral reefs are serious, but there is reason to hope that they will survive.
Coral reef conservation can help these species, which have survived for millions of years, to
rebuild the damaged reefs that so many ocean creatures and plants depend on.

TEXT 2
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer
There have been many famous detectives in literature. But one of the first-and
certainly the most famous is Sherlock Holmes. Holmes was created by the British writer Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle in the late nineteenth century.
Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in the work A Study in Scarlet, which
was published in 1887. Holmes instantly became a popular literary figure with the general
populace, who demanded that Doyle write more stories involving him. Doyle compiled and
eventually wound up writing fifty-six short stories and four novels that featured Holmes.
While he took a break of several years from creating stories about Holmes, Doyle continued
to write Holmes stories until 1927. Among the most famous of all the works featuring
Holmes are The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Blue Carbuncle, and A Scandal in Bohemia
One of the reasons that Sherlock Holmes was so popular concerns the method he
employs to solve his cases: logic. Together with his partner, Dr. Watson, Holmes uses his
powers of observation to detect clues that can help him solve the cases he accepts. Holmes
has an incredibly sharp mind that enables him to determine who the guilty party is or what
the problem is. Holmes also is a master of disguise, which he proves many times, and he is
skilled at boxing as well as sword fighting.
While Holmes often solves cases that are unrelated to one another, he has a nemesis
with whom he comes into both direct and indirect conflict in several stories. That person is
Professor Moriarty, the leader of a crime ring in London. In one of the stories, The Final
Problem, Holmes and Moriarty fight one another and fall to their deaths by plunging down a
steep cliff near a waterfall. When he wrote that story, Doyle had tired of Holmes and wanted
to kill off the character. He then refrained from writing about Holmes for many years but
public demand for more detective stories induced him to bring Holmes back from the dead
and to continue writing.
