TRUE/FALSE
Read the text and decide if each statement is True or False.
(Đọc đoạn văn và xác định xem mỗi câu là Đúng hay Sai.)
Question 1-5
The television is one of the most prominent inventions of the 20 th century. In the 1880s a
German inventor created simplistic moving images using a filtered light viewed through a
spinning disk, laying the foundations for the modern television. During the 1920s, a number
of scientists began experimenting with sending still images using radio waves. However, it
was in 1928 that General Electric first combined the idea of a device that could show moving
images with the technology to wirelessly broadcast them.
During the 30s and 40s, the technology was gradually improved upon. In America, the first
regular broadcasts began in 1939 though it was not until after the Second World War that the
television as a standard home appliance began to really take off. After 1945, television sales
in America skyrocketed. The first colour broadcast was made in 1954.
Throughout the rest of the world, television came years later, and it wasn’t until the late
1960s that television was commonplace in houses throughout the West. By the 1970s,
television had become the dominant media force it is today, with 24-hour programming, mass
advertising, and syndicated shows.
In the 1980s, satellite television shrunk the world, making live feeds from other countries and
time zones possible. The new millennium brought the advent of digital television, which is the
future of television.

Question 11-15
Earthquakes in Japan
The Japanese archipelago is located in an area where several continental and oceanic plates
meet. This is the cause of frequent earthquakes and the presence of many volcanoes and hot
springs across Japan. If earthquakes occur below or close to the ocean, they may trigger tidal
waves (tsunami).
Many parts of the country have experienced devastating earthquakes and tidal waves in the
past. The Great Kanto Earthquake, the worst in Japanese history, hit the Kanto plain around
Tokyo in 1923 and resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 people.
In January 1995, a strong earthquake hit the city of Kobe and its surroundings. Known as the
Southern Hyogo Earthquake or Great Hanshin Earthquake, it killed 6,000 and injured 415,000
people. 100,000 homes were completely destroyed and 185,000 were severely damaged.
On March 11, 2011, the strongest ever recorded earthquake in Japan triggered a massive
tsunami along the Pacific Coast of northeastern Japan. Known as the Great East Japan
Earthquake, the earthquake and particularly the ensuing tsunami killed nearly 20,000 people
and caused a nuclear accident at a power plant in Fukushima Prefecture.
11. Earthquakes happen in Japan because this is the place where several
continental and oceanic plates meet.
12. If there are earthquakes below or close to the mountains, they may
lead to tidal waves.
13. The Great Kanto Earthquake is the worst in Asian history.
14. 100,000 homes were severely damaged in the Great Hanshin
Earthquake.
15. The Great East Japan Earthquake caused a nuclear accident.
Question 16-20
Space exploration is the investigation of the cosmos beyond the upper regions of the Earth’s
atmosphere using telescopes, satellites, space probes, spacecraft, and associated launch
vehicles. The desire to explore space is nearly primal for Homo sapiens. Early humans quickly
spread out of Africa to every region on the planet, then came to speculate that the stars and
planets were yet other material places worthy of exploration. The idea to travel to these other
worlds was inevitable.
However, for thousands of years, humans commonly drew fundamental distinctions between
the Earth and non-Earth environments. In the formulation of Aristotle taught that the laws of
nature that applied on Earth did not necessarily apply beyond the Earth, thus severely
restricting the very possibilities for human space exploration.
During the great age of European exploration of the Earth, astronomers such as Galileo
Galilei (1564-1642) and his contemporary, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), began the modern
observational exploration of the heavens, in fact of space, using new techniques and
instruments of science. A result of this exploration of space was the scientific revolution itself.
Science was now seen as applicable to understanding the entire world, to both heaven and
Earth. Civilization was transformed.
16. We can use microscopes, satellites, space probes, spacecraft, and
associated launch vehicles to explore space.
17. Early humans started the idea to travel to other worlds.
18. The possibilities for human space exploration were restricted.
19. Galileo Galilei began the modern observational exploration of the
heavens alone.
20. Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler laid the foundation for the scientific
revolution.
Question 21-25
With the days of having hundreds of Facebook “friends” upon US, real friendships built on
respect, a common bond, and shared memories seem to be few and far between in the
modern world. We can instantly connect with anyone online, but does that make them a tried
and true friend?
On the other hand, the friends you thought you could count on in real life can turn out to be
just as distant, flaky, and unreliable as people you’ve connected within the cyber world. So,
how can you make sure that these friendships you have invested so much in emotionally are
actually authentic?
1. They accept everything about you, including your flaws.
They don’t want to change you. In fact, true friendships mean they embrace everything
about you, from your quirks and flaws to your best personality traits. That doesn’t mean they
have to particularly like or agree with everything you say and do, but they don’t bash you or
try to alter your personality, either. You feel like you can breathe a big sigh of relief around
them. That’s because in a sea of billions of people, you’ve found one person who sees the
positive things about you even when you don’t see them yourself.
2. They stick with you through both the good and bad times.
This one probably best distinguishes a fake friend from a real one; in hard times, a true friend
would never dream of leaving you in the shadows alone. Instead, they offer to help you
however they can, and bring you back into the light, again. Fake friends often bail on you
because they only wanted to stick around when things went well for you, and felt like helping
you through your problems was a burden for them.
21. Real friendships are built on respect, a common bond, and shared
memories among friends.
22. You can entirely rely on the friends you meet in the cyber world.
23. True friends need to agree with everything you say and do.
24. True friends can see good things about you even when you don’t see
them yourself.
25. Going through tough times can make you realize who your real friend is.
Question 26-30
After traveling 1,000 miles from the north, the Zambezi River reaches the edge of one world
and plummets 350 feet into another. Victoria Falls, between the borders of Zambia and
Zimbabwe, is over a mile wide. No other waterfall in the world can match her scale.
The Zambezi is known as the “River of Life” across southern Africa, but surviving by the river
near Victoria Falls is not always easy. During the rainy season the Zambezi has a fierceness
and a power that is deadly to both animals and humans. At the peak of the rainy season,
almost 300,000 gallons of water cascade over the falls every second.
Despite the danger, many birds, reptiles, fish, and mammals call this area home. And a
fisherman, known as Mr. White, has lived in a nearby town for 74 years, spending almost
every day by the falls.
During the dry season, life gravitates to the river by Victoria Falls. As the sun beats down and
the water level lowers, grass-covered islands above the falls are exposed. Families of
elephants from the surrounding savannah flock to the Zambezi to make the river crossing.
Predator and prey rely on the river for water, and pairs of bee-eaters and pied kingfishers dig
nests in the exposed muddy banks. Fish eagles raise their young and teach them to hunt, and
hippos crowd the waters.
Life flourishes, for a while. And then, months later, clouds gather in the sky and rising waters
force many animals to leave. It is the rainy season, and Victoria Falls becomes magnificent
again - her voice rising from a whisper to thunder.
26. Victoria Falls is the widest fall in the world.
27. The Zambezi has a power that may cause deaths to animals.
28. Many birds, reptiles, fish, and mammals stay away from the falls due to
the danger.
29. As the sun beats down and the water level rises, grass-covered islands
above the falls are exposed.
30. During the dry season, rising waters force many animals to leave.
Question 31-35
Making Sushi at home
Danielle decided to make sushi with her brother Jonathan. They both loved sushi and
cooking. They thought this would be the perfect way to bond with each other and have fun.
Sushi was something they never made. They needed to buy all the supplies to make the
perfect sushi! They read recipes and watched videos on how to make sushi. Even if it was not
perfect, Danielle was sure it would taste good.
Jonathan was in charge of buying the supplies. He stopped by his local Japanese
supermarket. This was one of his favorite markets because of its cheap prices and quality
products. He started by looking for seaweed and rice. He quickly found those in the same
aisle. He then began to pick the seafood they would use. He decided on salmon, tuna, and
eel. Danielle’s favorite was salmon. He also got some cucumbers, carrots, and avocados to
add extra flavor.
Jonathan brought back his supplies home. They were ready to make the sushi. They set
everything up in the kitchen. They were ready to roll. They divided the tasks. One person was
in charge of preparing the sushi. The other person was in charge of rolling the sushi and
cutting nicely into pieces. They needed to make enough for themselves and their parents.
They even made extras. After all their hard work, they ate their delicious sushi and watched a
movie together. The sushi was delicious and tasted really fresh. Their parents approved of
their homemade sushi.
31. Danielle’s hooked on cooking but her brother isn’t.
32. Danielle’s mother taught her to make sushi.
33. Danielle loves going to the local Japanese market to buy things because
the products are very cheap but high-quality here.
34. Danielle is a big fan of salmon.
35. Jonathan prepared, rolled, and cut the sushi nicely into pieces.
Question 36-40
The ever-evolving human desire drives the development of men and women alike. Over the
past 60 years, we have witnessed a conspicuous change in women’s desire. Women wish to
be less and less involved in household management and child care and are increasingly
expanding their involvement in other areas of society.
A woman’s character is much more responsible, stable, and consistent. She is capable of
absorbing many changes and coping with long-term challenges - a quality that comes from
her natural ability to carry an embryo and develop life within her. A man, on the other hand,
is better at short-term moves.
A woman is capable of holding onto a large number of tasks as well as carry them out
successfully. A man, on the other hand, is more successful in linear processes aimed at a
narrow goal. This is why most scientific breakthroughs, for example, manifest through the
male brain.
Men and women are also different in their attitude to failure in life. Figuratively speaking, a
man can be as strong as iron - and yet one blow can break him. Woman is easier to bend -
but like a flexible tree branch, she is much harder to break. The mutual completion of each
other’s qualities is the key to building a healthy society in the new era.
The integration of women in the leadership of society and other systems of human life is
becoming necessary. The maternal qualities are expanding from the personal home to the
global home. The female nature and drive to create a supportive and embracing environment
will be expressed in society in creating healthy and proper conditions for bonding between
people.
36. Women desire to expand their involvement in other areas of society.
37. Women are good at linear processes aimed at a narrow goal while men
can hold onto a large number of tasks.
38. Men and women have different attitudes toward failure in life.
39. Women are more flexible than men.
40. The integration of women in the leadership of society and other
systems of human life is becoming essential.
Question 41-45
To stay healthy, adults should try to be active every day and aim to achieve at least 150
minutes of physical activity over a week through a variety of activities.
For most people, the easiest way to get moving is to make activity part of everyday life, like
walking or cycling instead of using the car to get around. However, the more you do, the
better, and taking part in activities such as sports and exercise will make you even healthier.
For any type of activity to benefit your health, you need to be moving quickly enough to raise
your heart rate, breathe faster, and feel warmer. This level of effort is called moderate
intensity activity. If you’re working at a moderate intensity you should still be able to talk but
you won’t be able to sing the words to a song.
An activity where you have to work even harder is called vigorous intensity activity. There is
substantial evidence that vigorous activity can bring health benefits over and above that of
moderate activity. You can tell when it’s vigorous activity because you’re breathing hard and
fast, and your heart rate has gone up quite a bit. If you’re working at this level, you won’t be
able to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath. People are less active
nowadays, partly because technology has made our lives easier. We drive cars or take public
transport. Machines wash our clothes. We entertain ourselves in front of a TV or computer
screen. Fewer people are doing manual work, and most of US have jobs that involve little
physical effort. Work, household chores, shopping, and other necessary activities are far less
demanding than for previous generations.
We move around less and burn off less energy than people used to. Research suggests that
many adults spend more than 7 hours a day sitting down, at work, on transport or in their
leisure time. People aged over 65 spend 10 hours or more each day sitting or lying down,
making them the most sedentary age group.
41. Adults should try to achieve at least 2.5 hours of physical activity over a
week to stay healthy.
42. Moderate intensity activity is the level of effort that makes you breathe
hard and fast and your heart rate go up quite a bit.
43. When you do a vigorous intensity activity, you won’t be able to say
more than a few words without pausing for a breath.
44. People become more passive nowadays due to the development of
technology.
45. A lot of adults spend less than 7 hours a day sitting down, at work, on
transport or in their spare time.
Question 46-50
Have you ever thought about going abroad to volunteer? Making a difference in a country
less fortunate than your own is seen by most as a really positive thing to do. However, not
everyone is in favour of this so-called ‘voluntourism’.
Volunteer tourism is a growing fashion - in 2015, it was estimated that 10 million
volunteers helped on projects abroad. These include building houses or hospitals, teaching
English in schools, helping locals get to grips with computers, installing water filters,
looking after children in orphanages, and much more.
However, there’s an argument that volunteers take away jobs from locals who would
have otherwise done that work. Yes, sometimes volunteers have specific knowledge which
can benefit communities, such as IT skills or speaking English as a native language.
However, in some cases they are put to work on construction sites, for example, depriving
locals of a job on that project. Additionally, many young travellers are untrained for the
role. This could become a health and safety problem on construction sites or when caring
for children. Furthermore, the booming industry is seen by some as just that - an industry,
a way for companies to make money. It’s estimated that up to $2 billion was spent by
volunteers last year in 2015. Surely it would be better if this money were directly donated
to an established chanty, equipped to spend the money where it is needed the most?
Instead, most of the money is going to profit-seeking tourism companies, while local
communities only see a fraction of it.
Finally, volunteering abroad also helps you develop as a person, and is a shining addition to a
cv. I think volunteer projects are usually very valuable for communities, but often benefit the
participant just as much, if not more, than those they are helping.
46. It was estimated that 1 million volunteers worked on projects abroad in
2015.
47. Helping locals get to grips with computers and installing water filters are
some voluntary activities you can do abroad.
48. A health and safety problem may occur when you work on construction
sites.
49. Sometimes, voluntourism is regarded as a way for companies to make
money.
50. Experiencing volunteering abroad can be a plus point in your CV.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D to indicate the correct
answer to each of questions.
(Đọc đoạn văn dưới và chọn đáp án đúng để trả lời cho từng câu hỏi.)
Question 1-5
Many teenagers become stressed when their teachers and parents expect too much from
them as far as school grades. According to the New York Times, when some teenagers study
hard for an exam but receive a poor grade, they feel defeated and hopeless because they
know they haven’t only disappointed themselves, but also the people they care about the
most.
Teenagers from a dysfunctional home life where abuse or alcoholism are problems can suffer
from extreme stress. Teenagers need to feel safe and cared for at home. When they do not
receive this from their safe place, they may take the stress of home, bring it to school, and
act out.
Getting along with friends or getting into the “in” crowd can be very stressful for teenagers,
according to a recent survey. A teen’s social group means everything to some teens. When
arguments happen or a teen feels awkward around peers, it’s normal to feel sad or anxious.
Popular teens experience just as much stress. They need to keep up a certain image within
their social group. It’s hard to make it into the “in” group, but it can be even harder to stay in
it.
1. Why do many teenagers feel stressed?
A. Because their teachers and parents treat them badly.
B. Because their teachers and parents expect too much from them as far as their
grades at school.
C. Because they get bad marks at school.
D. Because no one plays with them.
2. What do teens feel when they study hard for an exam but get bad marks?
A. They feel normal.
B. They feel exhausted.
C. They feel tired.
D. They feel hopeless.
3. Who can suffer from extreme stress?
A. Teens with health problems.
B. Teens who don’t receive social services.
C. Orphans and homeless children.
D. Teens from a home life with abuse or alcoholism.
4. When do teens feel awkward around their friends?
A. When arguments occur.

Question 6-10
Pollution is an environmental concern for people throughout the world. One university study
suggests that pollutants in the water, air, and soil cause up to 40% of the premature deaths
in the world’s population. The majority of these deaths occur in developing countries.
Water in many developing countries is contaminated with toxic chemicals, also known as
toxins. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.1 billion people have little or
no access to clean water. In many of these regions the water that is used for drinking,
cooking, and washing is the same water that is used for dumping sewage and hazardous
waste. Most developing countries cannot afford water treatment facilities. Approximately 80%
of infectious diseases in the world are caused by contaminated water.
Air pollution is a growing problem throughout the world. Indoor air pollution is one of the
leading causes of lung cancer. Families in developing countries use open stoves for cooking
and heating their homes. These homes do not have proper ventilation. The smoke, which is
full of chemicals and carcinogens, gets trapped inside where families eat and sleep. Outdoor
pollution also causes disease and illness, especially in industrial cities such as Beijing, China,
where cancer is the leading cause of death. China relies heavily on coal, which is considered
the dirtiest source of energy. According to the European Union, only 1% of urban dwellers in
China breathe clean air on an average day.
Soil pollution is also a major concern, both in industrial and developing countries.
Pollutants such as metals and pesticides seep into the earth’s soil and contaminate the food
supply. Soil pollution causes major health risks to entire ecosystems. This type of pollution
reduces the amount of land suitable for agricultural production and contributes to global food
shortages.
As more people move to urban centres, premature deaths caused by pollution are expected
to increase worldwide. Today, the developed nations who achieved their wealth at the
expense of the environment will be held accountable for protecting the earth’s resources for
future generations.
6. The passage mainly discusses
A. main types of pollution, causes and effects.
B. premature deaths in developing countries.
C. study results on pollution.
D. an environmental concern for people.
7. What can result in approximately 80% of infectious diseases in the world?
A. Carcinogens B. Metals
C. Pesticides D. Polluted water
8. What is the leading cause of death in Beijing, China?
A. Heart diseases
B. Respiratory diseases
C. Pulmonary diseases
D. Cancer
9. The word “pollutants” in paragraph 4 could best be replaced by “_________”.
A. substances
B. contaminants
C. chemicals
D. agents
10. Who is responsible for protecting the earth’s resources for future generations?
A. The developing nations faced with acute environmental problems.
B. The developed nations with modern technology.
C. The developing nations investing into the environment.
D. The developed nations achieving their wealth at the expense of the environment.
Question 11-15
Earthquakes in Japan
Your body needs fuel in the form of food every day, but the wrong kind of fuel can lead to
health problems. A balanced diet consists of fruits, vegetables, low-fat or fat-free dairy, whole
grains, protein, and fats, but it limits cholesterol, saturated fats, trans fats, and sodium.
When poor eating habits spiral out of control, it could cause serious health problems down
the road.
Healthy eating habits affect both mental and physical wellness. What you eat affects your
immune system, bone health, and athletic performance, among other functions. It plays a
role in your mental health, too - healthy eating supports cognition, problem-solving, memory,
alertness, sleep, and information processing, according to the Linus Pauling Institute, which
also notes that good nutrition is important for proper brain development and maintenance of
normal cognitive function.
When combined with regular physical activity, a balanced diet can help prevent such
conditions as cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, and obesity. Columbia University
reports that the three leading causes of death in the United States - coronary heart disease,
some types of cancer, and stroke - are directly linked with dietary behavior. To help prevent
such conditions as cardiovascular disease, you need to keep your blood cholesterol, blood
pressure and weight under control. All of this can be done through healthy eating and
exercise.
Simple changes in your daily eating behaviors such as eating more slowly and avoiding large
serving sizes can result in healthier eating over time. Eating slowly, for example, can reduce
overeating, heartburn, indigestion, and feeling bloated. The University of Arkansas notes that
it takes 15 to 20 minutes for the stomach to send signals to the brain, letting you know you
are full, other ways to support healthy eating habits include recording your eating habits
throughout the day and shopping with nutrition in mind by reading food labels and focusing
on fresh vs. processed foods.
11. A balanced diet consists of _______
A. fruits, vegetables, cholesterol, whole grains, protein, and fats.
B. fruits, vegetables, saturated fats, whole grains, protein, and fats.
C. fruits, vegetables, low-fat or fat-free dairy, whole grains, protein, and fats.
D. fruits, vegetables, low-fat or fat-free dairy, whole grains, and sodium.
12. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, which of the following can NOT be supported
by healthy eating?
A. Cognition
B. Memory
C. Mood
D. Problem solving
13. What are the three leading causes of death in the United States directly associated
with dietary behavior?
A. Coronary heart disease, some types of cancer, and stroke
B. Pulmonary diseases, some types of cancer, and stroke
C. Heart diseases, some types of cancer, and dysfunction
D. Respiratory diseases, some types of cancer, and stroke
14. The word ' cardiovascular” in paragraph 3 refers to _________.
A. relating to the heart
B. relating to the pulmonary
C. relating to the skin
D. relating to the digestive system
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. How to prepare a healthy meal
B. General situation of eating habits in the world
C. Serious diseases by poor eating habits
D. Healthy eating - Healthy life
Question 16-20
Culture shock is a common phenomenon and, though it may take months to develop, it
often affects travelers and people living far from home in unexpected ways. Culture shock
generally moves through four different phases: honeymoon, frustration, adjustment, and
acceptance.
The first stage of culture shock is often overwhelmingly positive during which travelers
become infatuated with the language, people, and food in their new surroundings. At the
honeymoon stage, the trip or move seems like the greatest decision ever made, an exciting
adventure to stay on forever.
Frustration may be the most difficult stage of culture shock and is probably familiar to
anyone who has lived abroad or who travels frequently. At this stage, the fatigue of not
understanding gestures, signs, and the language sets in and miscommunications may be
happening frequently.
Frustrations are often subdued as travelers begin to feel more familiar and comfortable
with the cultures, people, food and languages of new environments. Navigation becomes
easier, friends, and communities of support are established and details of local languages
may become more recognizable during the adjustment stage.
Generally - though sometimes weeks, months or years after wrestling with the emotional
stages outlined above - the final stage of culture shock is acceptance. Acceptance doesn’t
mean that new cultures or environments are completely understood, rather it signifies
realization that complete understanding isn’t necessary to function and thrive in the new
surroundings.
Though it can be one of the hardest parts of traveling, culture shock is just as integral to
the experience as food, people, and scenery. By recognizing it for what it is and finding ways
to cope, you can prevent culture shock from ruining an otherwise fantastic experience
abroad.
16. Cultural shock is divided into 4 stages including
A. honeymoon, frustration, sympathy, and acceptance
B. acquaintance, frustration, adjustment, and sympathy
C. honeymoon, frustration, adjustment, and acceptance
D. frustration, adjustment, pride, and acceptance
17. In which stage can travelers feel like on cloud nine?
A. Sympathy
B. Adjustment
C. Acceptance
D. Honeymoon
18. What is regarded as the most difficult stage of culture shock?
A. Communication
B. Acquaintance
C. Acceptance
D. Frustration
19. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Miscommunications may happen in the honeymoon phrase.
B. When travelers begin to feel more familiar and comfortable with new
environments, they are in the adjustment phase.
C. Acceptance doesn’t mean that new cultures or environments are completely
understood.
D. Culture shock plays an integral part in the experience as food, people, and
scenery.
20. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Causes and effects of culture shock
B. Types of culture shock
C. Overcoming culture shock
D. Definition of culture shock and its stages
Question 21-25
In 2016, the capital’s authorities made great efforts to remove congestion horn 20 out of
44 sites across the city; however, currently, the number of such sites has increased to 41. In
streets towards the centre, arterial roads and areas around bus stops, traffic congestion
always occurs during peak hours.
According to the experts, there are many reasons for traffic jams, including inconsistent
transport infrastructure. In addition, the progress of the construction of urban railway lines is
very slow, creating difficulties for traffic. It can be seen that the number of personal vehicles
in Hanoi has increased rapidly. There are now more than 5.045 million motorcycles, an
average increase of 7.66% over the 2010-2015 period; over 546,000 cars of all kinds, up
12.9%; over 1 million bicycles; and over 10,000 electric bikes in Hanoi. Meanwhile, the
development pace of transport infrastructure in the city only reached an average of 3.9% per
year. The imbalanced development of personal transport vehicles and transport infrastructure
has led to increasingly serious traffic jams.
Furthermore, more urban areas and high-rise buildings have been constructed, with a very
high population density, putting pressure on transport infrastructure.
The problem of urban transport requires drastic, urgent, and synchronous measures from the
Government, ministry, agencies, and the city. It is highly essential to strictly comply with and
implement urban planning as well as to set out plans to limit the ownership of personal
vehicles. The Government should have a special mechanism for Hanoi to accelerate the
investment and implementation of urgent transport projects as well as to authorise the city
to select investors for important and urgent public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure
projects.
21. It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that __________.
A. the government has taken effective measures to reduce traffic jam
B. despite the government’s efforts, traffic congestion is not improving but worsening
C. traffic jam is an alarming problem in big cities
D. there are more and more transportations, which results in traffic jam
22. According to the passage, what can lead to traffic jams?
A. Faulty traffic lights
B. Obstacles in the road
C. Inconsistent transport infrastructure
D. More industrial zones
23. What has caused increasingly serious traffic jams?
A. Slow construction of urban railway lines
B. More urban areas and high-rise buildings
C. Very high population density
D. Imbalanced development of private vehicles and transport infrastructure
24. What can be done to reduce traffic congestion?
A. Putting pressure on transport infrastructure
B. Setting out plans to limit the ownership of personal vehicles
C. Decreasing the investment of urgent transport projects
D. Moving the industrial factories to the countryside
25. The word “authorise” in paragraph 5 could be replaced by
A. approve
B. empower
C. support
D. provide
Question 26-30
Cultural diversity means a range of different societies or people of different origins,
religions, and traditions all living and interacting together. Britain has benefited from diversity
throughout its long history and is currently one of the most culturally diverse countries in the
world.
The food they eat, the music they listen to, and the clothes they wear have all been
influenced by different cultures coming into Britain. Ethnic food, for example, is part of an
average British diet. One of Britain’s favourite dishes is Indian curry. Britons have enjoyed
curry for a surprisingly long time - the first curry went on an English menu in 1773.
Even the English language developed from the languages spoken by Anglo-Saxons,
Scandinavian Vikings, and Norman-French invaders. New words were added from the
languages of other immigrants over the years.
Valuing the diverse culture is all about understanding and respecting the beliefs of others
and their way of life, as we would expect someone to respect ours. It is about supporting
individuals in keeping their cultural traditions alive and appreciating the fact that all these
different traditions will enrich British life both today and in the future.
Cultural diversity in Britain goes as far back as recorded history. Only when we consider
our history do we get a true picture of how diverse Britain today really is. Each group of
settlers brought with them different foods, fashions, languages, beliefs, and lifestyles.
People from all over the world have contributed to Britain and they continue to do so.
26. Which of the following is NOT true about Britain?
A. Britain has benefited from diversity throughout its long history.
B. Britain is a blending of different rich cultures of countries.
C. Britain is now one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world.
D. Britain is regarded as one of the richest countries in the world.
27. When did the first curry go on an English menu?
A. In 1773
B. In 1737
C. In 1337
D. ln 1373
28. The English language developed from the languages spoken by __________.
A. Jutes, Norman-French, and Scandinavian Vikings
B. Scandinavian Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, and Jutes
C. Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Norman-French

A. Valuing the diverse culture means understanding and respecting the beliefs of
others and their way of life.
B. Valuing the diverse culture is about supporting individuals in keeping their cultural
traditions alive.
C. Valuing the diverse culture means appreciating the fact that all these different
traditions will enrich British life.
D. Valuing the diverse culture means keeping traditional cultures only, not borrowing
from other cultures.

A. ancestors
B. citizens
C. immigrants
D. invaders
Question 31-35
The Beatles were one of the most influential music groups of the rock era, and many consider
them the best musical group on Earth. Initially, they affected the post-war baby boom
generation of Britain and the U.S. during the 1960s, and later the rest of the world. Certainly,
they were the most successful group, with global sales exceeding 1.1 billion records.
While they were originally famous for light-weight pop music (and the extreme hysterical
reaction they received from young women), their later works achieved a combination of
popular and critical acclaim perhaps unequaled in the 20 th century.
Eventually, they became more than recording artists, branching out into film and - particularly
in the case of John Lennon - political activism. They achieved an iconic status beyond mere
celebrity, with far reaching effects difficult to exaggerate.
The members of the group were John Lennon, (James) Paul McCartney, George Harrison,
and Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey), all from Liverpool, Merseyside, England. Original drummer
Pete Best was asked to leave the group just before it started recording. Stuart Sutcliffe was
with them in Hamburg but also left.
Beatlemania began in the UK and exploded following the appearance of the Beatles on The
Ed Sullivan Show in the United States, on February 9 th, 1964. The pop-music band became a
worldwide phenomenon with worshipful fans, hysterical adulation, and denunciations by
culture commentators and others such as Frank Sinatra.
Some of this was confusion over the sources of their music (a similar confusion was evinced
in 1956 over Elvis Presley by commentators who were unaware of the tradition of blues, R&B
and gospel out of which Presley emerged), and some of it was simply an incredulous reaction
31. What was the first generation influenced by the Beatles?
A. The post-war baby boom generation of Britain and Australian
B. The pre-war baby boom generation of Britain and the U.S
C. The post-war baby boom generation of Britain and the U.S
D. The pre-war baby boom generation of Australian and the U.S
32. What kind of music did the Beatles originally famous for?
A. Blues
B. Gospel
C. R&B
D. Light-weight pop
33. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Initially, the Beatles received the extreme hysterical reaction from young women.
B. The Beatles achieved global sales exceeding 1.1 billion records.
C. The Beatles achieved an iconic status beyond mere celebrity due to their voice and
up-to-date records.
D. Drummer Pete Best used to be a member of the Beatles.
34. When did the pop-music band become a worldwide phenomenon?
A. When they became more than recording artists, branching out into film and
political activism.
B. They achieved an iconic status beyond mere celebrity.
C. After The Ed Sullivan Show in the United States, on February 9 th, 1964.
D. After Stuart Sutcliffe left the band.
35. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. The Beatles Changed American Music
B. The Beatles - An International Phenomenon
C. Cultural Impacts Of The Beatles
D. Guinness World Records by The Beatles
Question 36-40
All of our energy comes from the Sun, which is our nearest star. The Sun sends out huge
amounts of energy through its rays every day. We call this energy solar energy or radiant
energy. Without the Sun, life on Earth would not exist, since our planet would be totally
frozen. We use this solar energy in many different ways. The sunlight lets US see and warms
US. Plants use the light from the Sun to grow. They store it as chemical energy. This process
is called photosynthesis. The energy is stored in their roots, fruits, and leaves. This energy
feeds every living thing on the earth. When humans and animals eat plants and the food
made from plants, we store the energy in our bodies, in our muscles and in our brain cells.
Just as humans store energy in their bodies, the Earth stores the Sun’s energy too. The
Sun’s energy is stored in coal, natural gas, water and wind. Coal, oil, and natu ral gas are
known as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels were formed over millions of years ago when the remains
and fossils of prehistoric plants and animals sank to the bottom of swamps and oceans.
These animal and plant remains were slowly covered and crushed by layers of rock, mud,
sand, and water. The pressure of all those layers caused the plants and animals to break
down and change into coal, oil, and natural gas. We use the energy in these fossil fuels to
make electricity. We use electricity in many different ways. We light and heat our homes,
schools, and businesses using electricity, and to run computers, refrigerators, washing
machines, and air conditioners. Our cars and planes run on gasoline, which comes from oil.
As of the year 2013, most of the energy we use comes from fossil fuels.
However, fossil fuels are known as non-renewable sources of energy. They cannot be used
over and over again. This means that one day they will run out!
36. Where does all of our energy come from?
A. Renewable sources
B. Non-renewable sources
C. Fossil fuels
D. The Sun
37. What would happen if the sun disappeared, according to the passage?
A. Energy sources will run out.
B. Our planet was bathed in darkness.
C. Most plants would die in a few weeks.
D. Our planet would be totally frozen.
38. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants use the light from the sun to grow
and store it as chemical energy.
B. The energy we store in our bodies comes from the sun.
C. The earth stores the sun’s energy in coal, natural gas, water, and wind.
D. Fossil fuels were formed over thousands of years ago.
39. Based on the evidence in the passage, how can the sun be best described?
A. Crucial for life on earth
B. An important mythological object
C. A developing black hole
D. The biggest star in the universe
40. What is this passage mostly about?
A. How long it takes for light from the sun to reach the earth
B. The importance of energy to human life and where energy comes from
C. Different types of non-renewable sources of energy
D. How fossil fuels were formed
Question 41-45
The solar system is the Sun and the objects that travel around it. The Earth is part of the
solar system because it also travels around the Sun. The Sun is a star similar to the other
stars in the sky but it is much closer to the Earth. The Sun is mostly a big ball of gases
composed mainly of hydrogen and helium.
There are seven other planets that travel around the Sun, too. These planets, in order,
include Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Earth is located
between Venus and Mars. The path the planets use when traveling around the Sun is oval-
shaped and is called its orbit. Each of the planets in the solar system take a different amount
of time to orbit or travel around the Sun.
The planet Earth takes 365 days or one year to orbit the Sun. The other planets take
more or less time to orbit the Sun. It takes Mercury less than two months or 88 days to travel
around the Sun. It is the shortest time compared to the other planets. The planet taking the
longest time to go around the Sun is Neptune. It takes Neptune almost 165 years to travel
around the Sun.
Other objects in space include the moons of six planets. A moon is a celestial object
(object in space) that orbits another body in space. There are approximately 173 moons
throughout the solar system. Earth has a single moon, Mercury and Venus have none, and
the planet with the most moons is Jupiter with 63. Not far behind Jupiter is Saturn with 62
moons.
The asteroid belt is another object in the solar system. The asteroid belt is approximately
located between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid belt contains
irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids which are believed to be leftovers from the
beginning of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago. The objects are rocky and irregular in
shape, and some may be hundreds of miles across, but most of the asteroids are very small.

Question 46-50
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in Hodgenville, Kentucky, USA. His
parents were Thomas Lincoln, a farmer, and Nancy Hanks. His family was very poor.
Abraham had one brother and one sister. His brother died in childhood. They grew up in a
small log cabin house, with just one room inside.
Although slavery was legal in Kentucky at that time, Lincoln’s father, who was a religious
Baptist, refused to own any slaves, when Lincoln was seven years old, his family moved to
Indiana, and later to Illinois. In his childhood, he helped his father on the farm, but when he
was 22 years old, he left home and moved to New Salem, Illinois, where he worked in a
general store. Later, he said that he had gone to school for just one year, but that was
enough to learn how to read, write, and do simple math.
In 1842, he married Mary Todd Lincoln. They had four children, but three of them died when
they were very young. Abraham Lincoln was sometimes called Abe Lincoln or “Honest Abe”
after he ran miles to give a customer the right amount of change. The nickname “Honest
Abe” came from a time when he started a business that failed. Instead of running away like
many people would have, he stayed and worked to pay off his debt.
He has also been called the “Great Emancipator” because of his work to end slavery in the
United States. In 1863, he declared that all slaves held in the rebellious Confederate States
were free. He also sponsored the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Ratified in 1865, nine months after his assassination, that amendment completely outlawed
slavery in the United States.
46. How many people are there in Lincoln’s family?

B. At that time, slavery was illegal in Kentucky.
C. When Lincoln was seven years old, his family moved to Illinois, and later to
Indiana.
D. Lincoln studied at school for just one year.
48. What happened to Lincoln’s children?
A. They moved to New Salem, Illinois with Lincoln.
B. They dropped out of high school.
C. Three of them died when they were very young.
D. They joined the army.
49. What did Lincoln do after he failed in his business?
A. He started a new one.
B. He moved to a new city.
C. He stayed and worked to pay off his debt.
D. He asked his friends for help.
50. Why has Lincoln been called the “Great Emancipator”?

Question 1-5
List of Headings
A. Reason for the growth in tourism
B. Economic Importance
C. Ecotourism
D. Types of tourism
E. A quick look at tourism
(1) __________
People travel for many different reasons, such as business and visiting family and friends.
When people travel for pleasure, they \ are called tourists. Tourism is the business of
encouraging and supporting tourists. Many people go on vacation because they want a break
from their everyday lives, or to experience a warmer climate, others enjoy learning about
different cultures, tasting new cuisines, and observing different lifestyles.
(2) _______
Some tourism involves traveling far away, to another region or country. People go to different
countries to do activities such as skiing or hiking. Some tourism involves traveling to a place
of interest, such as a museum, that is nearby. This type of travel is called an outing, or day
trip.
(3) ___________
It is easier now than ever before for people to travel for pleasure. Most employees are given
time off from work so they can go on vacation. They may also receive wages to cover the
time they are away. Companies involved in tourism have made it easy for people to book a
break by creating package vacations. Modern communication systems, especially the
Internet, have made it simple for people to research and book their vacations. Transportation
systems are also more advanced now than at any time in the past. People can fly, drive, or
take a train or boat to destinations all around the world.
(4) _________
Tourists bring a lot of money to the place they are visiting, so they are good for a nation’s
wealth, or economy. Money from tourism can be used to build hospitals and schools, and the
industry provides employment. Many countries promote tourism by developing areas that will
attract visitors. This development sometimes causes concern from environmentalists and local
residents.
(5) _________
A recent development in the tourist industry has been the rise of ecotourism. This means that
people want to be sure that their travels do not affect the environment, or other people, in a
negative way. Some tourists, for example, choose not to travel by plane. Airplanes use a
great deal of fuel and release a high level of carbon dioxide, which can harm the
environment, other travelers do not buy souvenirs made from endangered animals and
plants. They also do not take part in activities that may damage the natural environment.
Some vacations are especially designed for ecotourists. They give people a chance to take
part in conservation projects.
Question 6-10
List of Headings
A. Humans are valued less
B. Privacy issues have increased
C. Intellectual property theft and piracy
D. There is a lack of human relations
E. Technology: A double-edged sword
(6) __________
As online social networking increasingly replaces real face-to-face and physical contact,
alienation can increase, as well as problems such as cyber-bullying, online stalking, and
cybercrime, which are related to the anonymity of the internet. Humans are social animals, so
a lack of physical contact could lead to depression and anxiety. If we become detached from
real-world communications, it will be difficult to be a functioning member of society and
interact with others in a professional setting.
(7) __________
The roles of humans in the workplace are replaced by computers. Outsourcing has meant
bigger profits for companies, but a decline in wages and conditions and more unemployment
for ordinary workers, especially in Western nations. Multinational corporations are
increasingly impossible to control by individual nation-states. It is estimated that 20 million
jobs will be replaced by robots by 2030. This means that we must use our innovativeness to
create new jobs for those whose skills can be automated.
(8) __________
As a matter of fact, it becomes difficult to control personal information in the digital and
internet world. Financial details can be hacked into, candid photos or videos posted on the
web, slurs, and accusations made against people’s characters, and personal identities can be
stolen. With password managers, although they make it so you don’t need to memorize
anything, it is really easy for someone who steals a computer and gains instant access to
private accounts. And with site cookies, your information may not be encrypted, and thus be
accessed by anyone.
(9) __________
Media can be digitalized and then distributed across the internet very easily, and the process
seems impossible to control. Ultimately, it will lead to a decline in artistic and creative quality,
as people no longer have the time and funds to pursue projects. It can be difficult and time-
consuming to track down every thief or pirate, and there are often legal hurdles in the way.
(10) __________
The technological revolution will only continue - and we must learn how to adapt to all ofthis
new technology. There are advantages and disadvantages to every advancement made, so it
is impossible to deem technology a good or bad thing. The only thing we can do is try to
utilize our newfound knowledge and resources to improve our world, rather than destroy it.
Question 11-15
List of Headings
A. Old Ice Clues
B. History Repeating Itself
C. Super Fast Melt
D. Accurate Predictors
E. Fresh Input
When the climate began to warm during the last Ice Age about 23,000 years ago, much of
the Northern Hemisphere was covered I in ice.
In two new studies published this week in Nature Geoscience, researchers describe how ice
sheets behaved in the past could help scientists better predict what might happen to them in
a warmer world of our future.
(11) ___________
University of Wisconsin geologist Anders Carlson studies ice sheet melt from land and ocean
sediment cores. His study describes what prehistoric Earth was like in North America and
Northern Europe some 140,000 years ago.
“What we found in this paper was that ice that’s resting on land it responded very quickly to
the warming climate, but then it didn’t retreat really rapidly. It kind of chugged along and
slowly melted like an ice cube if you put a hairdryer on it,” Carlson says, adding that was not
the case with ice sheets floating on the ocean. “Marine based ice sheets behave
unpredictably. They may not do anything for a while, and then they all of a sudden respond
very abruptly. They can rapidly disappear.”
(12) ___________
Greenland and Antarctica hold the Earth’s last remaining ice sheets. In July, satellite data
showed that 97 percent of the surface of the Greenland ice sheet had turned to slush over
four days, a rate faster than at any time in recorded history. According to Carlson, it might be
responding rapidly to small changes in temperature, similar to what he saw in the prehistoric
record of ice sheets on land.
(13) ___________
A paper in Nature Geoscience looks back 12,000 to 7,000 years to when massive ice sheets
still covered the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. At that time, the global climate
was roughly comparable to what it is today and glaciers were melting. The study describes
abrupt sea level jumps - from one-half to two meters - from melting glaciers.
(14) ___________
“What happens when you suddenly drain these massive amounts of fresh water into the
ocean? It’s going to change ocean circulation,” says co-author Torbjorn Tornqvist, an Earth
scientist at Tulane University in Louisiana. Today, rapid melting from the Greenland ice sheet
would send massive amounts of fresh water into the North Atlantic Ocean, changing the
marine environment. “But it will also lead to potentially higher precipitation rates in the same
region, which could also lead to fresher surface waters in the North Atlantic,” Tornqvist says.
“So we need to understand whether those types of changes could potentially be capable of
triggering these kinds of abrupt climate events.”
(15) ___________
Tornqvist adds that understanding how abrupt climate changes affected Earth’s geologic past
can help design climate models that can better predict the future.
Question 16-20
List of Headings
A. Changing Economy
B. Political Colors
C. Hard Times
D. Shifting Populations
E. Homecoming Heroes
As the largest state, New York again supplied the most resources during World War II and
suffered 31,215 casualties. The war affected the state both socially and economically. For
example, to overcome discriminatory labor practices, Governor Herbert H. Lehman created
the Committee on Discrimination in Employment in 1941 and Governor Thomas E. Dewey
signed the Ives-Quinn bill in 1945, banning employment discrimination.
(16) __________
The G.l. Bill of 1944, which offered returning soldiers the opportunity of affordable higher
education, forced New York to create a public university system since its private universities
could not handle the influx; the state University of New York was created by Governor Dewey
in 1948.
(17) __________
World War II constituted New York’s last great industrial era. At its conclusion, the defense
industry shrank and the economy shifted towards producing services rather than goods.
Returning soldiers disproportionately displaced female and minority workers who had entered
the industrial workforce only when the war left employers no other choice. Companies moved
to the south and west, seeking lower taxes and a less costly, non-union workforce.
(18) __________
Many workers followed the jobs. The middle class expanded and created suburbs such as the
one on Long Island. The automobile accelerated this decentralization; planned communities
like Levittown offered affordable middle-class housing. Larger cities stopped growing around
1950. Growth resumed only in New York City, in the 1980s. Buffalo’s population fell by half
between 1950 and 2000. Reduced immigration and worker migration led New York State’s
population to decline for the first time between 1970 and 1980. California and Texas both
surpassed it in population.
(19) __________
Nelson Rockefeller was governor from 1959-1973 and changed New York politics. He began
as a liberal, but grew more conservative: he responded aggressively to the Attica Prison riot
and promulgated the uniquely severe Rockefeller Drug Laws. The World Trade Center and
other profligate projects nearly drove New York City into bankruptcy in 1975. The state took
substantial budgetary control, which eventually led to improved fiscal prudence.
(20) __________
The Executive Mansion was retaken by Democrats in 1974 and remained under Democratic
control for 20 years under Hugh Carey and Mario Cuomo. Late-century Democrats became
more centrist, including US Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (1977-2001) and New York City
Mayor Ed Koch (1978-1989), while state Republicans began to align themselves with the
more conservative national party. They gained power through the elections of Senator
Alfonse D’Amato in 1980, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in 1993, and Governor George Pataki in
1994. New York remained one of the most liberal states. In 1984, Ronald Reagan was the
last Republican to carry the state, although Republican Michael Bloomberg served as New
York City mayor in the early 21st century.
