Mã đề 101 Trang 2
back into the atmosphere as heat. In the atmosphere, “greenhouse gases trap some of this heat, and the the
rest escapes into space. The more greenhouse gases are in the atmosphere, the more heat gets trapped.
Scientists have known about the greenhouse effect since 1824, when Joseph Fourier calculated that
the Earth would be much colder if it had no atmosphere. This greenhouse effect is what keeps the Earth's
climate (26)________. Without it, the Earth's surface would be an average of about 60 degrees Fahrenheit
cooler. Scientists often use the term "climate change" instead of global warming. This is because as the
Earth's average temperature climbs, winds and ocean currents move heat around the globe in ways that
can cool some areas, warm (27)________, and change the amount of rain and snow falling.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them
each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the
winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and
come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no – it was covered with green buds
and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked
so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was
ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfilment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree’s
life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they
are – and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life – can only be measured at the end, when all the
seasons are up. If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your
summer, fulfilment of your fall.
Don’t judge a life by one difficult season. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
All over the country young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a recent
report by the housing group, Shelter. Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five will
Mã đề 101 Trang 3
become homeless this year, says Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as
'cardboard city' in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only homes - cardboard boxes.
Others may find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organizations or get a place in a hostel, which gives
them board for up to ten weeks.’
But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but
“throwaways” - people who have been thrown out of their homes or forced to leave because of parental divorce, an
unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons.
Take the case of one sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just
passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics
homework. It turned out that her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason that she wanted to do
Science Advanced Level exams - which her parents refused her permission to do, saying that sciences were
unladylike!
Shelter says that the Government's laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of
cheap housing and a cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a national problem,
according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between sixteen and twenty-
five gets less than older people and they can only claim state help if they prove that they left home for a good
reason.
Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being forced
to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can't get a job because employers will
not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can't get a job, you are homeless because you don't
have any money to pay for accommodation. It's an impossible situation.
