Stones that Move
The American southwest is full of deserts. If you ever go there, you might get to see a very
strange event. We are talking something called the sailing stones.
Sometimes, stones in the southwestern desert move by themselves. Wind doesn’t seem to
push them. People and animals don’t touch them. However, these stones still move. Sometimes
they travel more than a hundred meters. They always leave a trail in the sand behind them. This
is useful because we can look at the trail and figure out how far a stone has moved.
How is this possible? How can stones move all by themselves? Scientists have been studying
this for years. People have offered all kinds of theories. One of the earliest theories was that wind
pushes the stones. That theory isn’t correct, because some of the stones weigh more than 300
kilograms. When it seemed like there was no logical explanation for the sailing stones, people
started coming up with crazier ideas. Some people said that aliens were moving the stones, and
others said that clever people were playing a joke.
Finally, in 2013, a scientist came up with an explanation for the sailing stones. This scientist
normally studies weather on other planets, and when he heard about the sailing stones, he became
interested in them. He found out that ice forms on the bottom of the stones. When that happens,
even a very light wind can push the stone for long distances.
To prove his theory, the scientist did an experiment. He put a rock in his freezer and let some
ice form on it. Then, he put sand and a little water in a tray. Finally, he put his frozen rock on top
of the sand. When he blew on the rock, it moved. Even when he blew very gently, he had no
problems moving the rock.
Here is something interesting about the sailing stones. Curious people visit the desert in the
southwest to see them. A lot of those people don’t like to hear the scientific explanation for the
sailing stones. Many people prefer to feel that the stones are still a mystery.
36. What was the first theory about the sailing stones?
A. People were playing a joke.
B. Wind pushed them.
C. Ice formed on the bottoms of the stones.

By the time the first Twilight movie was released, millions of people had read the series.
Many of these people went on to watch the film, which made $35.7 million just on its opening
day. While many fans and critics liked it and said the movie more or less followed the book’s
storyline, some fans were not impressed. One change that angered them was that certain sound
effects were added to the movie, such as a “whooshing” sound when the vampires jumped. This
was not mentioned in the book, and many fans felt that it was too distracting.
Those who liked the movie said that they enjoyed the light mood and excitement. This was
very different from the book. The writing in Twilight is dark and gloomy, like many vampire
novels. The movie, however, added more energy to the story and more personality to the
characters. For example, many characters in the book are portrayed as being quiet, and they spend
most of their time at school. But in the movie, the characters are cooler and funnier - one scene
even shows them going surfing together. The director of the first movie, Catherine Hardwicke,
thought it was important for the characters to be believable. She wanted them to have a wide
variety of emotions, since the series is for, and about, teenagers.
In the end, the films were considered a success, even if there were both happy and unhappy
fans. It’s a great accomplishment to make films that are watched by millions of people, and you
can’t expect to be able to please everyone all of the time.
43. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. It takes a long time to make books into movies.
B. Filmmakers prefer to make movies out of popular books.
C. People will always compare movies to the books.
D. Many people will see a movie without reading the book.
44. Why does the passage say fans were excited to see the movie?
A. to see how the story would change
B. to see which actors would play their favourite characters
C. to see real people acting out the story
D. to see if the movie would be better than the books
45. The passage discusses vampires jumping________.
A. as an example of a sound effect
B. as an example of a change that displeased fans
C. because it was a special effect and not real
D. to say how scary the movie was
46. The book Twilight is described as very________.
A. exciting B. serious C. fun D. funny
47. According to the passage, what was NOT changed for the movie?
A. storyline B. mood C. characters D. sound effects
48. The word “energy” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to________.
A. the power to drive something B. attention to something
C. the ability to be very active D. the magical power

the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
The Most Powerful Force in Space
A black hole is a spot in space that has incredibly powerful gravity. A black hole’s gravity is
so strong that it pulls everything nearby into it. It can pull stars, planets, and other things. Nothing
can escape a black hole. In fact, they are so powerful that even light cannot escape them.
Scientists first started talking about black holes in the year 1783. That year, one scientist said
that in the universe, there might be places with gravity strong enough to trap light. However, that
scientist didn’t use the term “black hole”. The term “black hole” was invented in 1967.
Black holes are formed when a star dies. When a star dies, it collapses. When that happens, a
huge amount of matter crowds into a very small space. The matter becomes very, very dense.
How much matter are we talking about? Imagine a star that is the size of ten suns. Imagine fitting
that amount of matter into New York City. That is what a black hole is like. Its gravity is so
powerful because it has so much matter.
However, not all black holes are huge. Scientists believe that some black holes are the size of
atoms. Although these black holes are tiny, they might have the same amount of matter that a
mountain has.
We can’t see black holes because they don’t have any light. They are completely invisible.
Scientists can guess where black holes are by studying nearby stars and planets. If gravity seems
to be pulling the stars and planets to one spot, then scientists believe that the spot is a black hole.
Some people wonder if a black hole could ever destroy the Earth. We do not need to worry
about that. There is no black hole that is close enough to destroy the Earth. The closest black hole
is about 7,800 light years away. In addition, the sun is not big enough to create a black hole.
36. When are black holes formed?
A. When a new star is formed B. When a planet collapses
Trang 4
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 03
C. When two suns crash into each other D. When a star dies
37. How do scientists study black holes?
A. They look at nearby stars. B. They look at the black holes
C. They look at the sun. D. They visit the black holes.
38. Which statement is NOT true?
A. Black holes have very little matter. B. Black holes can be big or small.
C. We can’t see black holes. D. Nothing can escape a black hole
39. Which of the following CAN’T be inferred from the passage?
A. Scientists started studying a black hole in 1967.
B. A black hole is invisible because it traps light.
C. The movement of stars and planets are affected by a nearby black hole
D. A black hole gets its name because it does not have any light.
40. The word “them” in paragraph 1 refers to________.
A. planets B. gravitation C. empty spaces D. black holes
41. The word “collapses” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. fails B. falls inwards
C. breaks down D. becomes unconscious
42. What would be another good title for the passage?
A. Places without Gravity
B. Strong Enough to Pull a Planet

Organic Farming: The New Vacation
In 1971, Sue Coppard worked as a secretary in London. While she enjoyed city life, Sue also
missed the countryside where she spent most of her time as a child. So she offered to help out on
a farm, or more specifically, an organic farming programme organized by a nearby college. She
got a few people to volunteer as well, and they spent the weekend doing “housework,” which
involved clearing bushes and cleaning drains. Afterwards, the farm managers said they could
come back anytime to help out.
Sue put a small ad in a magazine, offering people the chance to volunteer at the organic farm.
The volunteer programme grew quickly, and soon other organic farmers joined in, asking for
people to help out. With so many people and farms involved, someone needed to organize the
different groups. A few of the original volunteers started WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities
on Organic Farms) to help volunteers and farmers find one another. Today, at least 50 different
countries have WWOOF organizations, and many other countries have individual farms that
participate in the movement.
While WWOOF is still a weekend activity for some, it now welcomes travellers and people
who visit to live and work on farms for longer periods of time. WWOOF volunteers can stay on a
farm for weeks or even months at a time in exchange for hands-on farming and gardening
Trang 5
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 03
experience. The work can be exhausting, but volunteers think it’s worth it. By working on farms,
the volunteers interact with farmers and develop a love for the outdoors and organic farming.
Many travellers now use WWOOFing as a way to visit new countries and experience new
cultures.
As travellers will discover, every WWOOF opportunity is a bit different. In Serbia, you can
find Misa and Olja, a couple whose farm is known for its hard cheeses and for its bread made
from homegrown grains. Finca Amiruca, a farm in Ecuador, teaches volunteers how to grow
peanuts, plantains, and yucca. When volunteering in Japan, you may get to learn about growing
rice.
WWOOF is only one of the many unique volunteer opportunities available. Volunteering is
something that anyone can do, and a wide variety of organizations accept or even welcome
volunteers. So the next time you get the itch to be active on the weekend or on vacation, why not
look for a good cause to spend your energy on?
43. Why did Sue first work on a farm?
A. She was a student at the university. B. She needed money.
C. She missed the countryside. D. She did not enjoy the job.
44. More people joined the programme when Sue________.

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 from 36 to 42.
What Do You Think?
We have all had bad experiences with restaurants, stores, or hotels. Maybe you have gone to
a restaurant that served terrible food. Perhaps you have gone to a store that had high prices or bad
service. Or maybe you have booked a hotel and found out later that the room was nothing like the
advertisement.
These days, we have a better chance of preventing these unpleasant surprises. We can do this
by using apps. “App” is short for “application”. An app is a computer programme on a
smartphone. You can use apps to do almost anything. Apps can help you play games, get
directions, talk to friends, and so on.
If you want to find information about a store or a hotel, you can use a review app. Review
apps help us evaluate services and products before we hand over our money. The idea is very
simple. After you go to a restaurant or stay in a hotel, you can post a review with one of your
apps. You can say anything you want. If you like a hotel you stayed in, you can tell people that it
was wonderful. If you think that the food in a certain restaurant was bad, then you tell people not
to eat there. Other people can use their apps to read your reviews.
Plenty of people prefer not to use these review apps. Many of these people prefer to go out
and decide for themselves whether or not a service is good. However, review apps are getting
more and more popular every day. Some apps are for specific services. For example, Tripadvisor
focuses on travel, and Goodreads focuses on books. There are also other, larger apps that provide
information for just about every service that you can think of.
36. What does the passage say about apps?
A. There are very few good apps. B. You can use apps for many things.
C. Apps are only for travel. D. Apps are very expensive to use.
37. If you want to book a hotel, how can a review app help you?

A. They don’t trust review apps.
B. They don’t know how to use review apps.
C. They think review app are too hard.
D. They prefer to make their own decisions
41. What does the app “Goodreads” focus on?
A. Books B. Films C. Newspapers D. Travel
42. Which of the following would be another good title for the passage?
A. Wasteful Apps B. Complaints from Customers
C. Customer Services D. Conveniences for Customers
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 from 43 to 50.
The Urban Gardener
Cities are home to skyscrapers and apartment buildings, and it’s rare to find wide, open
spaces within them. With limited space for parks and gardens, architects and city planners often
find it challenging to incorporate greenery into neighbourhoods. One creative solution is to grow
plants on unused areas like walls or rooftops. It’s a popular idea, and now rooftop gardens and
green walls have been spouting up in cities around the world.
There are many benefits to having green spaces to the urban landscape. Adding gardens to
rooftops or walls can create a pleasant environment - what was once a grey cement wall can
become a colourful, blooming garden. The CaxiaForum art gallery in Madrid, Spain, is a famous
example - one of its walls is covered with 15,000 plants from over 250 different species. In other
cities, green walls are being used more functionally, to cover up construction sites and empty
buildings and to prominently decorate the lobbies of office buildings.
Using plants to cover walls and rooftops can also keep cities cooler in the summer. Buildings
and roads absorb the sun’s heat and hold it, causing a building or neighbourhood to stay warmer
longer. Plants, on the other hand, provide an enormous amount of shade. There is evidence that
growing a roof or wall garden can lower a building’s energy costs. Many cities offer tax discounts
to businesses with these features.
In New York City, public schools plant rooftop gardens that can reduce heating and cooling
costs. In addition to saving the school money, teachers and parents love the gardens because of
their educational value - it’s a fun and healthy way for their kids to investigate the world around

them. “For the children, it’s exciting when you grow something edible,” said Lauren Fontana,
principal of a New York public school.
These green spaces are also used to grow food. In recent years, rooftop gardens have slowly
been included in the “local food movement”. This is based on the concept that locally grown food
reduces pollution since it does not have to be transported far. Vegetables are being grown in
rooftop gardens by schools, churches, neighbourhoods and even restaurants. Chef Rick Bayless
serves “Rooftop Salsa” at his restaurant in Chicago, USA, using only ingredients grown in his
rooftop garden.
Rooftop gardens and green walls may require a bit more effort to grow and maintain.
However, hard work always brings rewards, and with green spaces, the rewards are plentiful.
43. What is this passage mainly about?
A. gardens in Madrid, New York, and Chicago
B. people growing plants on roofs and walls
C. private gardens in the city’s unused spaces
D. how to grow your own food in the city
44. According to the passage, people__________as cities have little space for gardens.
A. grow plants in their apartments
B. go to the countryside at the weekends
C. paint their walls and roofs green
D. grow trees and flowers on top of roofs
45. Why is the green wall in Madrid mentioned in the passage?
A. It is the most expensive green wall in the world.
B. It is located on the side of a government building.
C. It is a famous example of a green wall.
D. It was made to provide jobs for homeless people.
46. Which is NOT mentioned as a benefit of a rooftop garden?
A. It becomes a park that the community can use.
B. Having one might mean paying less taxes.
C. Children can use it to learn about the environment.
D. Growing plants on a roof keeps buildings cooler.
47. Because food can now be grown in cities,________.
A. the food at expensive restaurants is cheaper
B. governments are making many rules about city gardens
C. farmers in the countryside are moving to the city
D. there’s less pollution caused by transporting food
48. The word “it” in paragraph 5 refers to________.
A. a rooftop garden B. the food in general
C. locally grown food D. green space
49. Why did Chef Bayless name his dish “Rooftop Salsa”?
A. He got the idea while cooking on his rooftop.
B. He buys the salsa from other rooftop gardeners.

heritage.
Here are some examples of heritage. During Chinese New Year, people in China give red
envelopes. That is part of Chinese heritage. Every year in the American city New Orleans, there
is a huge party called Mardi Gras. That is a part of New Orleans’ heritage. Heritage can also be
more private and personal. If your family has a big dinner every Sunday night, that’s part of your
family’s heritage.
Today, heritage is changing. The Internet connects people around the world. In many ways,
this is a good thing, because we can learn about the heritage of other countries, and we can show
our own heritage to the world. However, some people worry that traditional heritage is
disappearing. Think about it. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike. In just
about every country around the world, you can find McDonald’s, Nike shoes, Starbucks coffee,
and American films. Some people think this is a good change, but others don’t like it. You can
decide whether or not you think it is a good thing. However, almost everyone wants to protect
their traditional heritage, and sometimes this is hard.
For example, when a new McDonald’s opens in your town, a traditional restaurant might have to
close.
This is why heritage protection is so important. Heritage protection is a simple idea. It means
keeping your country’s or your city’s heritage alive. People do this in many ways. The biggest
part of heritage protection is probably preserving old buildings. A few other examples of heritage
protection are making sure your children speak your traditional language, and teaching your
heritage to children.
The world is changing very fast. This change brings a lot of good things. But as the world is
changing, it is important to remember the heritage of our parents and our grandparents.
36. What is the main point of heritage protection?
A. Showing your heritage to other people
B. Using the Internet
C. Keeping your heritage alive

critics must be excellent writers. Their job is to give accurate information in an entertaining way
because newspapers and other publications want the restaurant review to be an enjoyable feature.
It is also important for food critics to be very observant by nature, and to have an excellent
memory, since taking notes at the table is not something typical customers do.
Looking like a typical customer is essential for remaining anonymous, but is perhaps the
most difficult challenge. Food critic Ruth Reichl, former editor-in- chief of Gourmet magazine,
used to go to restaurants wearing disguises so that she received the same food and service as any
other diner.
Despite the challenges, a career as a food critic appeals to many people. Anyone who is
thinking about becoming a food critic should start by developing strong writing skills and
learning as much about food and cooking as possible.

A. restaurant owners B. professional cooks

A. a description of a restaurant’s atmosphere

C. information about a restaurant’s prices
D. a description of a restaurant’s food
45. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A. to say that a critic must use all his or her senses when at a restaurant
B. to teach critics what they need to pay attention to when at a restaurant
C. to show that it is a very difficult job being a food critic
D. to say that the taste of the food is the most important detail of a review
46. Why does the author mention soft music and the noises of pots and pans being washed?
A. because food critics must listen carefully to the waiters
B. because it’s important for restaurants to use clean dishes
C. because food critics generally focus on the positive

47. The word “this” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_________.

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 from 36 to 42.
Inside a 4D Film
A lot of people think that 3D films are pretty cool. When you watch a 3D film, it sometimes
feels like you can reach out and touch the things that you see. In the future, however, 3D might be
replaced by something even more advanced: 4D.
What you see in a 4D film is the same as what you see in a 3D film. The screen is the same,
and the glasses are the same. 4D films are different because they don’t use 3D technology. People
in the audience also feel physical things during the films.
Let’s look at a few examples. Let’s say that you are watching a film about earthquakes. If
you are watching a 4D film, maybe your seat will suddenly start to shake. It will feel like you are
in the middle of an earthquake, but you are not. The 4D effects make your seat shake. Or perhaps
during the film, one of the characters gives flowers to another character. The people in the cinema
might suddenly smell flowers.
The point of 4D films is to make people feel like they are in the film. When we watch films
these days, we only use two senses: our sense of sight and our sense of hearing. If we use our
other senses, the film might feel more real to us.
4D films already exist. The film Avatar was released everywhere in 3D, but in Korea and
Hong Kong, it was also released in 4D. People who watched Avatar in 4D feel wind and rain.
They also smelled smoke from the weapons in the film, and sometimes their seats moved.
Will 4D replace 3D films? It is possible, but we can’t be sure yet. One problem with 4D films
is that it is very expensive to show them in theaters. Before a theater shows a 4D film, it has to
buy a lot of special equipment. However, 4D films are catching on. Other films shown in 4D
include Shrek 4-D, and Iron Man 3.

people who were interested in their products or services. Nowadays, social media has simplified
this process as many customers will follow or like the companies they purchase products from.
Furthermore, online advertising campaigns through social media allow companies to specifically
target people who like similar products as the ones they are selling.
Social media also gives companies greater control over their brand image. It allows fans and
customers to leave comments about companies, their products, or their services. In turn, these
companies can evaluate this feedback and respond in a way that shows they truly care. One
company which does this extremely well is Zappos, an online shoe retailer. If customers seem
dissatisfied with anything, Zappos is quick to offer refunds, exchange items, or even send out free
presents to keep customers happy. As a result, you will find thousands of positive reviews about
Zappos’ excellent customer service on several social media sites.
However, companies shouldn’t jump into social media without a carefully planned strategy,
as this can cause more harm than good. A common mistake is putting new hires or outside
consultants in charge of social media accounts. The person controlling these accounts becomes
the face of the company, so it is a must that they are knowledgeable about the company’s core
values. Another mistake is using conservative, corporate language in posts and updates. On social
media, people are looking for personalities they can connect with, so companies shouldn’t shy
away from using humour or being colourful. Finally, social media accounts should always
provide value and other share-worthy content to fans, for that is the primary reason they become
followers. By keeping these tips in mind, organizations can join the social movement and take
their businesses to the next level.
43. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Getting feedback using social media
B. Selling products using social media
C. Explaining traditional advertising
D. Explaining why customers buy things
44. One of the characteristics that social media can attract customers is that_________.
A. the access to the company and its products is very fun, colourful and friendly
B. customers can get advice from celebrities whether they work for the company or not
C. customers can know the companies which produce the goods they like and their rivals
D. customers can leave comments that affect the process of employing the staff
45. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. Present companies B. Future companies
C. Foreign companies D. Older companies
46. What kind of person should be in charge of a company’s social media?
A. Only an outside consultant
B. The company’s best customers
C. Employees who understand the company
D. Any workers who can use a computer

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 from 36 to 42.
Tourism and Heritage Protection
Travelling is a great thing to do. It helps us learn about different people and different places.
Some people travel because they want to see nature. Others travel because they want to make
friends and try great food. Of course, a lot of tourists are interested in traditional culture.
Tourism can be very good for traditional cultures. This is because when people travel to
another country, they often want to learn more about that country’s traditions, such as music,
food, and history. Therefore, the local people in that country will keep their traditional culture
alive. They will wear traditional clothing, and sell traditional food. They will also have shows for
tourists. These shows can be dances, concerts, plays, or something else.
Tourism also helps people respect each other. If you understand another culture well, you will
probably respect that culture much more. You will probably want to protect that culture as well.
However, tourism is not always good for traditional culture. Many people say that tourism
creates “fake traditional culture”. This means that the local people wear traditional costumes, and
do traditional dances only for tourists, but that is not their real lifestyle. Their real lifestyles are
similar to the tourists’ lifestyle. They are just pretending because they want to make money.
Another problem is that tourists can interfere with the local people’s lives. For example,
sometimes tourists come to watch local people praying in temples. While the local people pray,
tourists take photographs and make noise. This often bothers the local people. Sometimes tourists
also damage local sites. If 500 people enter an ancient temple every day, they may damage that
temple.
No matter what, more and more tourists want to learn about traditional cultures. Most local
people want more tourism, because tourists bring money and help local businesses. Tourists have
to respect local culture and places. Local governments have to make laws that protect places and
lifestyles. If everyone is responsible, then tourism will be great for traditional cultures.
36. What is the main point of the passage?
A. Tourism is always good for traditional culture.
B. Tourism is always bad for traditional culture.
C. Tourism can be good and bad for traditional culture.
D. Tourists don’t care about traditional culture.
37. Why do local people want tourism?

chip inside of his arm, which he used to control lights and other appliances at home. He later
expanded the project by placing electrodes inside his nervous system and linking it to the Internet.
This allowed him to control external objects including robotic arms, amplifiers, and.
loudspeakers. His work remains influential as this example of extended sensory input was the
first of its kind.
If you’re interested in becoming a cyborg and you’re willing, a good place to start might be
with a pair of Google Glass. Users wear it like ordinary eyeglasses, yet Google Glass is equipped
with state-of-the-art electronics. Using voice commands you can have it take a picture of what
you see, see directions right in front of you, or translate your voice into other languages.

Traveling in the Future
These days, if you want to travel from New York to Beijing, the flight takes about 16 hours.
You also have to wait at the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer onto a different airplane.
If you add all of that extra time, the trip takes at least 20 hours. But in the future, the trip from
New York to Beijing might only take two hours.
Right now, a private company is developing something called ET3. ET3 stands for
“evacuated tube transport technology”. Here is how it works. A tube goes all the way from New
York to Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules move through the tube. Six people
can sit in one capsule. The capsules use electricity instead of gasoline. For international travel, the
capsules can travel at about 6,500 kilometers per hour. That is much faster than airplane — most
modem airplanes usually only fly at about 800 kilometers per hour.
So how is this possible? How can these capsules travel so fast? The answer is that there is no
air inside the tube. When airplanes fly, they have to move through the air. The air slows the
airplanes down. Because there is no air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to move at a very
high speed. Besides, the capsules are quite light. They only weigh 183 kilograms.
There are other advantages to ET3. Because it uses electricity, it is quite clean. In addition, it
is much quieter than airplanes and cars. Finally, ET3 tubes and capsules don't require very much
building material.
Of course, ET3 doesn’t exist yet. The technology is still being developed. Developers still
have to solve a lot of problems. The biggest problem is that right now, ET3 would be far too
expensive. In order to make ET3 cheaper, we will need much better technology.
It is exciting to think of how ET3 will change travel in the future. Maybe someday, you will
be able to have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing.
36. Which of the following is NOT true about travelling at present?
A. Modern planes fly at about 800 kilometers per hour.
B. We use mostly gasoline for transportation.
C. Flights make little noise thanks to modem technology.

many changes in time and place. A large amount of dialogue between the characters was better
than long silences or noisy action scenes. His reviews are still online, but the site is no longer
updated.
Another blind movie reviewer, Jay Forry, maintains the website Blindsite Reviews. He also
writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows. Forry gives movies one of five ratings,
including, “So good, blind people like it” and “I’m glad I couldn’t see it.” Forry became a writer
after going blind at the age of 28, and his writing skills and sense of humour are what keep people
reading his reviews or listening to him on the radio. After “watching” the animated movie Up,
Forry commented that he wished he, too, could have a talking dog to tell him to watch out for
cars and not to “go into the ladies’ restroom again.”
Sometimes, though, it’s nice to go to the movie without reading reviews and knowing what
to expect. Some movie theaters have begun to offer recorded audio descriptions of the
movements, scenery, and special effects so that blind moviegoers can follow what other audience
members see on the screen. They usually receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie.
This allows them to listen to the narration while still hearing the hearing’s music and other
sounds that surround them in the theater. Jay Forry also notes that modem theaters now have
excellent sound systems, something he appreciates more than the average moviegoer.
In the end, going to the movies should be a fun and exciting experience - for both the sighted
and the blind.
43. What is the main idea of the article?
A. Jay Forry writes movie reviews for blind people.
B. Blind people have resources to help them enjoy movies.
C. Some movie reviews are written specifically for blind people.
D. Blind people do not enjoy going to movies.
44. Which movie would probably receive the best rating from Marty Klein?
A. a foreign martial arts film with many fight scenes
B. a drama that often shifts between the past and the present
C. a romantic comedy with four main characters and lots of conversation
D. a space adventure with many explosion and special effects
45. Movie reviewer Jay Forry has his own_______.
A. website B. newspaper C. radio show D. movie theater
46. What is Jay Forry most likely to say about a movie he dislikes?
A. He wishes it hadn’t been made.
B. It might have been good if he could see.
C. He is happy he is blind.
D. Other blind people , might like it.
47. Why does the author include this quotation: “go into the ladies’ restroom again”?
A. to recommend the movie UP to readers
B. to compare Forry to the dog in the movie UP
C. to illustrate Forry's sense of humour
D. to demonstrate Forty’s need for help

Twitter: 140 Characters to Express Yourself
At the start of the social media revolution, Facebook quickly became the most popular site
for sharing information with others. However, it is not the only service that people can use to
express themselves. Those who believe in the old saying that “more is less” may want to check
out Twitter. Part of Twitter’s appeal is that it limits users to 140 characters whenever they update
their status. This forces people to quickly “get to the point” when they are communicating.
Twitter is a microblogging service that was created by four American programmers in 2006.
The founders chose the name Twitter because the word has two definitions: “a short burst of
information” and “the sound that little birds make”, both of which fit the description of what their
service provides. In fact, some people have even labeled Twitter the “SMS of the Internet”.
Twitter is not just about words though. Users can also share videos and pictures. Another thing
which truly sets Twitter apart from its competition is the hashtag. Hashtags are a special way of
labeling and classifying information. They help people interested in a subject to find related posts
and content. For example, some interested in sports could simply search for hashtag sports and
they would find all messages tagged in this manner.
Twitter has also allowed people to easily connect with others who they would have never had
access to in the past. This has enabled fans to interact with their favourite celebrities by following
their Twitter updates and sending them direct messages. Of course, there is no guarantee that the
famous person will respond, as the celebrities may receive thousands of messages each day.
However, there have been some pretty stunning interactions. In 2011, singer Justin Timberlake
made headlines when he accepted an invitation from a female soldier to attend a Marine Corps
ball. In return, many celebrities find it gratifying to know some of their supporters more closely.
However, there is a dark side to Twitter conversations: Some people who don’t think before
Trang 4
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 10
sending out tweets that can cause outrage by milking inappropriate or insensitive remarks.
In November 2013, Twitter went public on the New York Stock Exchange. The added
investments should allow the company to do some incredible things in the near future.
36. What is an effect of Twitter’s word limit mentioned in the article?
A. It helps people focus on what they want to say.
B. It caused many users to quit Twitter and use other sites.
C. It is something that most users hope will change very soon.
D. It is the same word limit that other social media sites use.
37. What is the benefit of hashtags?
A. They help users maintain privacy.
B. They help celebrities earn more money.
C. They help people find relevant content more easily.
D. They help sports fans improve their skills.
38. What does the passage suggest about celebrities?
A. They shouldn’t be allowed to use Twitter.
B. Many of them enjoy connecting with their fans.
C. They usually reply to every message they get.
D. Most celebrities don’t have Twitter accounts.

Raising a Child Athlete
In many countries, children with sporting potential are identified early and encouraged to
achieve athletic greatness by training for hours every day. While some people see this as a great
opportunity for kids to be healthy, others argue that too much focus on training can hurt young
people. How parents should raise child athletes has become a big topic of their debate.
People who are against such serious commitment to sport say that there are many negatives

the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
An Amazing Invention
Look at your hand, and it might not seem very interesting at first, but it is an amazing tool. In
fact, the human hand is as complex and as useful as a high tech machine.
This might sound strange to you, but the development of the human hand changed the world.
For example, the thumb helped human beings become the smartest and most powerful animals on
the Earth. Your thumb is important because it faces your other fingers. This allows you to hold
things, like tools. Being able to hold tools allowed our ancient ancestors to build things and
become more advanced. It is also possible that when w§ developed thumbs and started to use
tools, our brains developed faster as well.
And how about this? Your fingers are the only parts of your body that are moved by a
“remote control”. A remote control is the small device that you use to change the channel on your
television. Your fingers are controlled by remote because they don’t have any muscles. You
control your fingers with the muscles in your palms. The palms are connected to the fingers by
tendons. The palms pull the tendons, and move them the same way a string moves a puppet.
Every part of the human body is complicated, but the hand is especially complicated. It has a
total of 29 bones. There are 34 different muscles that move the fingers and the thumb. Seventeen
of those muscles are in the palm, and 18 are in the forearm. The human hand also has 48 nerves
and 30 arteries. An artery is like a vein, but it carries blood away from the heart.
Human beings are not as strong or as fast as other animals. However, our ancient ancestors
were able to rule the world for two reasons. First, they were intelligent. Second, they had these
amazing instruments called hands. There is no other invention like them in the world.
36. What is important about the thumb?
A. It faces our other fingers. B. It is longer our other fingers.

making. He studied the history, construction, and psychology of puzzles, mostly on his own.
Because there were no professors of enigmatology, Shortz realized that he probably was the only
student at his university to know more about his field than any of his professors.
He did well in school, but upon graduating, Shortz did not know how to get a job creating
puzzles. For summer work, he joined the magazine Penny Press, where he realized that he could
find work as a puzzle editor. Shortz then found a job creating and editing puzzles for Games
magazine. This seemed like a dream job because he could create new kinds of puzzles and be
surrounded by great puzzle makers.
After 15 years at Games, Shortz accepted a position as the editor of The New York Times ’
crossword puzzle. When he first joined, the newspaper’s crossword puzzle was seen as very
difficult, and few readers could complete it. Shortz made fundamental changes, such as including
everyday language in the clues and answers so that many more people could enjoy it. Today, he
credited with making the crossword appealing to a wider audience. Some of Shortz’s most
famous puzzles have related to the news for that day, such as the name of the winning president
on Election Day, and a love-themed puzzle on Valentine’s Day.
43. The writer mentions other children in the introduction to show_________.
A. how every child has a different ambition
B. how Will Shortz was different from other children
C. that they were not interested in puzzles
D. that none of them were as successful as Will Shortz

A. before he was 14 years old
B. when he was 14 years old
C. when he was 16 years old
D. when he entered university
45. What kind of classes did Will Shortz take in college?
A. classes by professors who study puzzle-writing
B. classes that he and his professors developed
C. classes taught by professional puzzle makers
D. classes that art students take
46. Which statement describes Will Shortz’s college experience?
A. He enjoyed his time in college very much.
B. He was bored in college and did not finish.
C. He felt he did not learn very much.
D. He thought it was too challenging.
47. Why is Penny Press mentioned in the fourth paragraph?
A. It is the first company at which Will Shortz worked.
B. It is where he was allowed to develop new puzzles.
C. The owner of the company did not hire Will Shortz.
D. It is where Will Shortz worked during college.
48. Why did Will Shortz consider his job at Games magazine a “dream job”?

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 from 36 to 42.
It's in Your Genes
Every human being has about 25,000 genes. Your genes are part of your DNA. They give
your body instructions on how to develop. For example, if your genes tell your body to build
long, thin fingers, then you will have long, thin fingers.
Your genes come from your parents, and they decide everything about you. They decide your
hair colour, your eye colour, your height, and so on. Genes are still a bit of a mystery to scientists,
but they are learning new things about them all the time.
One issue that people often debate is this: Do our genes influence our personalities? These
days, most people agree that the answer to this questions is yes. Recent studies have shown that
genes especially influence our self-control and our sense of purpose. Your sense of purpose is
your desire to have goals in your life. If a person really wants to accomplish something and do
well in life, he or she has a sense of purpose. A person who does not care about goals has no
sense of purpose.
Although scientists agree that our genes influence our personalities, there is another question.
How much do they influence us? Can we control ourselves, or do our genes control us? People
everywhere are still debating this issue. So far, we don’t really have an answer.
Genes also affect your health. If a gene has a problem, it is called a mutated gene. Some
mutated genes can cause diseases. That is why if a person has a certain health problem, his or her
child is more likely to have that same problem. The child also has the mutated gene.
As scientists and doctors learn more about genes, they are also developing a new kind of
medicine: gene therapy. Therapy is help for a mental or a physical problem. Gene therapy means
fixing or replacing mutated genes. Scientists are still experimenting on gene therapy. It is possible
that in the future, gene therapy will help doctors prevent and cure diseases that are caused by
mutated genes.
36. What does the passage say about genes and personality?
A. We still don’t know how much genes affect personality.
B. We know that genes control our personality completely.
C. We know that genes don’t affect our personality at all.
D. Nobody has studied the effects of genes on personality.
37. Which of the following is NOT influenced by genes?
A. Parts of our body B. Personalities

Recording Engineers: Recording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound
that you hear. First, these engineers set up the recording studio, the room where the performers
play, placing musicians and microphones in exactly the right places to get the best sound. Next,
they use electronic equipment, such as multi-track recorders, to capture the music. Finally, long
after the musicians have gone home, recording engineers use a mixing board to balance the
melodies and rhythms of each musician, and sometimes to incorporate special sound effects or
additional tracks.

Make Home a Little Nicer
Some people think that if they don’t have a yard, they can’t keep a garden. Fortunately, that’s
not true. For people who live in apartment buildings, there is another option: rooftop gardens.
A rooftop garden is just a garden that you keep on your roof. Rooftop gardens are very
popular in cities. Most building roofs go to waste - people don’t use that space for anything.
Putting a garden on your roof is a nice way to turn an empty space into something that is pretty
and relaxing.
Rooftop gardens are not a new idea. About 2,600 years ago, people in Ancient Mesopotamia
planted rooftop gardens. There were similar gardens in Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt. These
gardens had a very important purpose. Many ancient cities had walls. The enemy army usually
tried to destroy the city’s food, so the people in the city kept their gardens on top of their walls.
That way, they could continue to grow food.
Today’s rooftop gardens don’t keep us alive, but they still have nice benefits. Plants absorb
heat, so if there are a lot of them on a rooftop, they make the whole building cooler. As a result,
people in the building use the air conditioning less, which means they use less electricity. One
study said that if every roof in Tokyo had a garden, the city would save more than one million
dollars a day on electricity.
Rooftop gardening is harder than regular gardening. Here are some tips. First of all, be safe.
Build a fence around your garden. You don’t want the wind to blow plants off your roof! Also,
remember that rooftop gardens get more sun. If you have a plant that shouldn’t get too much sun,
remember to put it in the shade sometimes.
There are many other things that you need to know before you start a rooftop garden. Do
some research and then give it a try. You’ll make your little part of the city much nicer.
36. Why did people in ancient cities have rooftop gardens?
A. They needed them to survive. B. They made the cities prettier.
C. They helped people save money. D. They made the cities cooler.
37. What can rooftop gardens do for a building?
A. They can make the building warmer.
B. They can make rent in the building cheaper.
C. They can make the building cooler.
D. They can make the building safer.

randomly move around the room. Once you finally catch it, you're probably too awake to hit the
snooze button. Although these early home robots are somewhat basic, they will likely become
more capable as times goes on.
Although robots certainly help us to eliminate tedious tasks, many people are concerned
about a future filled with robots. Some fear that humanity will start to decline if machines do
everything for us. Others have even warned about the robot rebellion, in which robots become so
smart that they may decide to turn on their masters. These ideas may seem a bit far-fetched, but
there are certainly lots of questions that need to be answered before everyone opens up to the idea
of a robotic future.

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 from 36 to 42.
Clean and Popular
Wind power is a very clean source of energy. This is how wind power works. Wind makes
windmills spin. When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity.
Many people think that wind power is new, but that is not true. For thousands of years,
people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these
days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.
Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more
and more. First of all, it is clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environment at all. Second, we can
use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. In addition, wind power is cheap,
and it is getting even cheaper.
A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems
with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that
windmills are dangerous for birds. That used to be true, but it isn’t true anymore. Old windmills
killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous
for birds.
However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think
windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for some people, because windmills are often in very
pretty areas. Besides, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all year round.
Finally, windmills are noisy.
Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use
wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries,
that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.
36. What is one problem with windmills?
A. They are too expensive. B. They are hard to build.
C. They are very dangerous. D. They are loud.
37. The word “make” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_________.
A. generate B. do C. save D. produce
38. The word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to_______.
A. wind power B. reality C. belief D. spinning fast
39. Which of the following is NOT true about wind power?
A. It is the main source of energy in Denmark.

also use radar to detect other vehicles and avoid them when necessary. One company involved
with developing driverless cars is Google. It’s developing software called Google Chauffer which
powers the vehicles. The technology isn’t cheap though, as Google robotic cars contain about
$150,000 worth of equipment. In 2012, Google began testing the cars on the road with a highly-
skilled driver in the driver’s seat, and a Google engineer in the passenger seat. In case there are
any malfunctions, the human driver can step on the brakes or turn the wheel to take control of the
automobile. Other car manufacturers are also working on implementing automated options into
their cars. For example, the 2014 Mercedes-S class offers advanced cruise control using radar,
lane warnings, and even detects, and warns drivers when they appear tired.
Many Americans seem open to the idea, as three states have already passed laws that make it
legal for driverless cars to be on the road. Still there will be some stumbling blocks to overcome
before the roads are controlled by digital decision-makers. Firstly, companies will need to provide
proof that driverless cars were tested a lot and are truly safe. Automobile manufacturers will also
have to find a way to bring down costs, as few people would be able to afford the equipment
required. Driverless cars could also potentially become targets for computer hackers. If a hacker
were somehow able to override the software system, they could cause accidents or malfunctions.
There are also economic issues to consider. If driverless cars became successful, millions of
truck, bus, and taxi drivers would likely lose their jobs. Despite these issues, all indications
suggest that it should be just a matter of time before humans are no longer needed behind the
wheel.
43. Which of the following is the advantage of driverless cars over ordinary ones?
A. no malfunctions B. no drunk driving
C. absolute safety D. no computer hacking
44. What do driverless cars use radar for?
A. To see if other things are close to them
B. To go slightly faster than the speed limit
C. To check on local weather conditions
D. To report important information back to Google
45. What is Google Chauffer?
A. It’s a nickname for the person who drives a Google car.
B. The person who sits in the passenger seat of a Google car.
C. The first driverless car that was manufactured by Google.
D. A computer programme that tells driverless cars what to do.
46. Why does the author suggest that Americans are OK with the concept of driverless cars?
A. Most Americans don’t like to drive very much anyway.
B. Americans always accept robotic inventions.
C. Some local governments have said it’s OK to use them.
D. In polls, Americans always say that they prefer driverless cars.
47. What is one reason why some people are hesitant to accept driverless cars?
A. They feel that the quality of the cars will be too cheap.

Einstein’s theory of relativity shows that these things do not really exist at all. It suggests that all
things and events in the universe are relative. Depending on our location and the speed at which
we are moving, we will see things differently. The reason that people can agree on whether
something is past,
present, or future is because we are moving at similar speeds and we are affected similarly by the
Earth’s gravitational field as well.
At the same time, physicists believe that things which happen in the future can affect the
events of the past. The double-slit experiments showed that light will sometimes behave like a
wave, and sometimes behave like a particle, depending on whether or not someone views the
experiment. Yet in another experiment, researchers discovered that if you watch light
immediately after it goes through the slit, it retroactively changes its behaviour. Although the
future influencing the past occurs in just a fraction of a second in this study, seeing something
from a distant planet in another galaxy could theoretically change something that happened
millions of years ago.
Everyone can admit that some days are better than others. The next time you’re feeling
depressed about something, consider that somewhere in the universe a different version of you is
having a great day. That’s because the universe is infinite; in other words, it never ends. This
means that considering trillions of stars and billions of galaxies doesn’t even really scratch the
surface. As there is no end to possibility, every event must have happened in every way
imaginable an infinite number of times. So when you look at your test paper and see you’ve
received an “F” grade, somewhere out there is an alternative universe where you’ve scored an
“A” instead.

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 from 36 to 42.
No More Polar Bears?
We all know that the Earth is getting warmer and warmer. This problem is called “global
warming”. We also know that global warming is causing a lot of problems. Ocean levels are
getting higher and higher. Because ocean levels are getting higher, storms are getting stronger and
stronger. This list of problems goes on and on.
Animals are suffering a lot because of global warming. Polar bears are suffering more than
most animals. This is because polar bears live in the North Pole. In the North Pole, global
warming is making ice melt. Polar bears hunt from large pieces of floating ice. They jump off the
ice and hunt for food. Polar bears have to swim and find these floating pieces of ice. These days,
they have to swim farther to find the floating ice. Many of them don’t have enough energy. They
get too tired, and they die in the water.
Polar bears are suffering because of other problems, too. Pollution makes their water dirty.
Many countries go to the North Pole to look for oil and gas, and they damage the environment of
the bears. In addition, when ships sail through the North Pole, they cause a lot of damage. Finally,
people hunt and kill too many polar bears. However, melting ice is definitely the biggest problem.
Right now, there are about 25,000 polar bears in the world. If global warming continues,
there may be only about 12,000 in the year 2050. By the year 2080, that number might be much
smaller.
It is important to study polar bears. When we learn about polar bears, we also learn about the
health of the North Pole. If polar bears are doing well, then the environment in the North Pole is
probably healthy. If polar bears are suffering, then there are probably serious problems in the
North Pole.
Right now, governments around the world are working to help polar bears. There are new
laws that protect polar bears. However, if global warming continues to get worse, polar bears may
disappear forever.
36. Which of the following has the same meaning as the last sentence of the first paragraph?
A. We should make a list of the problems that global warming causes.
B. We don’t know all of the problems that global warming causes.
C. Global warming doesn’t make any other problems.
D. Global warming makes many more problems.
37. Why do polar bears have to swim farther?
A. They have to look for other bears. B. They have to get away from people.
C. They have to find floating ice D. They have to find cleaner water.
38. Why is it important to study polar bears?
A. Polar bears are the world’s most important animal.
B. Polar bears tell us whether the North Pole is healthy or not.
C. Polar bears tell us if there is oil nearby.
D. Polar bears help us stop ice from melting.

microchips into their devices.
In a somewhat unusual project, researchers are working on a special microchip that will
serve as miniature human organs in experiments. These “organ” chips could be used to test
different medicines and study diseases. If realized, the technology could put an end to the use of
lab mice and other animals for testing. Everyone from the largest pharmaceutical companies to

Fighting Back against Bullying
It is often said that childhood is the most joyful period in a person’s life. This is supposed to
be a time when children can focus on their studies and enjoy their free time with friends.
However, these days more and more children are experiencing a stressful and miserable
adolescence due to bullying.
Bullying occurs when one student, or a group of students, uses aggression to harm another
child and try to make them feel bad. This abuse can either be physical, such as pushing or beating
another student, or it could take the form of mental abuse, such as taunting and teasing the
student.
Although it may seem harmless to some, studies show that bullying can greatly impact a
child’s life and have long-lasting negative effects. People who have been bullied may experience
self-esteem issues and start to lack confidence in almost everything they do. These traits can
make it difficult to manage relationships and even cause them to have trouble holding down a
steady job.
One of the most harmful types of bullying that is on the rise is cyberbullying. The bullied
student is targeted in cruel or threatening e-mails, instant messages, or hateful public posts about
them. In many cases, bullies will post embarrassing pictures of the victim or spread nasty
rumours about them through social media. In some tragic cases, children have even turned to
suicide, feeling that they can’t deal with the humiliation.
If you are being bullied by another student, you don’t have to accept it or suffer. There are
some steps you can take to deal with the problem. At first, you may try to ignore the bully, as
they will often lose interest in bothering you if you don’t react. If the bullying persists, however,
you should tell a trusted adult as soon as possible. This could be a parent, a family friend, a
teacher, a school guidance counselor, or even the school principal. Until recently, many teachers
and school officials turned a blind eve to bullying, believing that the students would eventually
sort it out by themselves. But this mindset has changed in recent years in light of some of the
tragedies that have occurred. If for any reason you feel that your complaints are not being taken
seriously, there are other groups available online who will help you deal with bullying. By
dealing with bullying at an early stage, you can stop it before it gets much worse.
36. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Some of the worst bullies today are adults.

and soldiers protected from gunfire, has been continually upgraded as time has gone on. In order
to get tougher, these vests have got lighter, so officers and soldiers can move more freely while
working.
Beautiful screens, a fast computer processor, and the latest software are probably the biggest
concerns for most people shopping for new smartphones. Yet, since most mobiles will be subject
to their fair share of bumps and bruises during their life cycle, durability should also be a major
concern. A major breakthrough in recent years was the invention of Gorilla Glass. This
technology not only prevents devices from breaking when dropped on hard surfaces, but it also
makes them scratch-resistant as well. Gorilla Glass screens are given molten alkaline salt baths
that produce a hard, compressed layer at the surface. Before a screen can crack, it will have to
penetrate this rugged surface, which takes a large degree of force.
Recently, another new technique called electrospinning was developed that could make
future products even tougher to break. The process involves applying high voltage to a polymer to
create a strand of nanofiber. Products designed with the material will be able to absorb more
energy without breaking. Researchers are aiming to lighten up aircraft and potentially decrease
the damage planes suffer in crashes. Hopefully, these advances are just the beginning. Although
science has come a long way in helping manufacturers to create more durable products, the next
century should surely bring some even more incredible improvements.
43. What is the main point of the first paragraph?
A. People often forget about the durability of products.
B. Almost every product you buy will break easily.
C. Having great features is more important than being durable.
D. The only thing that really matters about a product is its durability.
44. Why should bulletproof vests be light?
A. Because most of the bullets are not so strong.
B. Manufacturers need to bring down costs.
C. People wearing them need to move more easily.
D. The weather will be too hot if they are heavy.
45. All of the following are true about weaponry EXCEPT that_________.
A. bulletproof vests have been manufactured
B. police officers and soldiers are protected from gunfires
C. bulletproof vests have become lighter and tougher
D. bulletproof vests have been replacing bulletproof vehicles
46. The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to_______.
A. hard surface B. the new technology
C. a large degree of force D. dropping on hard surfaces
47. The word “penetrate” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_________.
A. succeed B. show a way C. go through D. join
48. What is the benefit of using Gorilla Glass?
A. It looks nicer than regular glass.
B. It will not get destroyed very easily.

Understanding India's Caste System
It has been said that life is what we make of it. In other words, if we work hard and focus on
our goals, we can have great careers and enjoy high status in society. However, these
opportunities don’t exist for everyone. In some places, the family you are bom into will decide
almost everything about your life. India’s caste system is an example of this.
The caste system is a major part of the Hindu religion that has existed for thousands of years.
It is a way of organizing and grouping people based on the occupation of the family. Castes will
determine whom people can socialize with and their place in society. Originally, a person’s caste
was supposed to be determined by their personality, but over time it has been linked to their job
and family.
There are four classes, also known as varnas, in India’s caste system. The highest one is
Brahmin. People in this class have jobs in education and religion. These are seen as extremely
important functions for the society as they deal with the knowledge. The second highest level is
the Kshatriya, or ruling class. People from this group can be soldiers, landowners, or have jobs in
politics. The class beneath this is the Vaishya. These people often work in the commercial sector
as merchants. The fourth class level is the Shudra. Shudras typically work as unskilled labourers
doing factory or farm work, or they may also be employed as artists.
There is another group, the Harijan, that is at the bottom and considered to be outside of the
caste system. For many years, they were known as Untouchables. People from this caste held the
most undesirable jobs in society, such as cleaning up garbage. Furthermore, they weren’t allowed
to pray at public temples or drink water from the same wells as other classes. If someone from
another caste came into contact with an Untouchable, they were considered dirty and would be
expected to bathe vigorously to clean themselves.
Although the caste system still exists in India, the government is taking steps to improve the
Trang
169
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 22
living conditions and decrease unemployment rates for the Shudras and Harijan. This includes
providing better health care, offering literacy programmes, and making sure that people from
higher social classes do not exploit them. It seems unlikely that the caste system will disappear
any time soon, but the overall conditions for those at the bottom do seem to be improving.
36. Which of the following is NOT true about India’s caste system?
A. The caste system has been used in India for a long time.
B. The Kshatriya is the second highest class.
C. Hard work helps people move up in the caste system.
D. It is possible that a Shudra would work on a farm.
37. The word “this” in paragraph 1 refers to________.
A. the fact that your origin will mostly decide your future
B. the pleasure of life in India
C. the India’s caste system existing for thousands of years
D. the major part of the Hindu religion
38. What is the caste system mainly based on?
A. What a person believes on B. When a person starts school
C. Who a person’s parents are D. Where a person was bom
39. What kind of job would a Brahmin likely have?
A. A priest B. A warrior C. An inventor D. A painter
40. What could replace the word “ruling” in paragraph 3?
A. defeating B. guessing C. delaying D. governing
41. All of the following are true about the Harijan EXCEPT that_________.
A. they used to be known as Untouchables
B. they had to do undesirable jobs in society
C. any contact between someone from another caste with an Untouchable was considered
unacceptable
D. anyone from another caste coming to contact with an Untouchable is not allowed to pray
at temples
42. What does the passage suggest about the future of the caste system?
A. One day soon it won’t be used anymore in India.
B. It is probably going to get worse before it gets better.
C. The bottom groups will rise to rule over the top classes.
D. It will likely continue to exist for a long time in India.

LEDs; yet chances are, you probably don’t realize why they are so special. The truth is that these
tiny light bulbs are helping to improve watches, remote controls, televisions, and a host of other
projects.

Diodes are components that enable energy to flow in one direction, while simultaneously
blocking the current from the opposite direction. This is similar to how a valve works on a faucet.
If electronic manufacturers require currents to flow in several directions, then multiple

diodes will be included in the circuit design. With LEDs, every time a current passes through
them, a light is emitted.
LED is short for light-emitting diode. Although they have only recently made waves in the
past decade or so, early models have been around since 1962. There are several benefits that
LEDs offer when compared to incandescent or fluorescent lighting. For starters, they have
extremely long-life spans in the range of 100,000 hours even in the toughest conditions. They
also require far less energy than other power sources, which can save users money over the long
run. Since LEDs don’t contain moving parts like other bulbs, they can withstand heavy impacts
without getting damaged. Finally, they don’t require any warm-up time so they will instantly
light up when switched on. The only drawback is that they are still a bit more expensive to
purchase at the moment.
LEDs were first used on digital clocks, but they have come a long way since then. They have
certainly done a lot to improve TV technology. LED TVs have been a hit because they can be
built extremely thin, yet also offer power-saving benefits. LED TVs also provide a wider range of
colour, which allows for more lifelike and vivid images. In the future, organic LEDs, or OLEDs,
will bring additional benefits for viewers. OLEDs are even more flexible than LEDs, so
manufacturers will be able to create bent display screens and lights. Therefore, you will be able to
roll up your living room TV set and pack it in your suitcase. In other words, LED and OLED
technology will likely be lighting up your life for years to come.

A. lights up B. goes off C. changes colour D. goes back
44. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of LEDs?
A. being bump-resistant B. lightening up immediately

A. a short period of time to practise something
B. a short practice of exercises
C. a short performance of light
D. a short period of time to prepare something

The Sinking of the Unsinkable Ship
In history, some events are so shocking that they are discussed and analyzed for years after
they occur. One example of this is the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic. In an ironic twist, when
the plans for this gigantic British ship were announced to the public, it was nicknamed “the
unsinkable ship” because people felt it was too large to be damaged by anything.
The Titanic left for its maiden voyage on April 10, 1912 from Southampton, England with
2,223 people on board. Its intended destination was New York, but sadly the ship would never
arrive. The ship was captained by Edward J. Smith, who was nicknamed “Millionaire’s Captain”
because he was frequently in charge of ships that contained wealthy passengers. During the
journey, the crew received many warnings about icebergs in the area. As a result, Captain Smith
slightly changed the course of the ship to make it head further south. Unfortunately, this change
was not enough and on the night of April 14, the ship collided with an iceberg and started to sink.
When the Titanic crashed into the iceberg, the crew quickly sent out distress signals to alert
nearby ships of the disaster and request their help. However, these ships were far away and
couldn’t reach the Titanic’s location for several hours. When the ship started to go underwater,
the crew started evacuating the ship. The Titanic only had 20 lifeboats available, which could
only fit 1,178 passengers. In the confusion, many of the lifeboats would leave before they were
fully occupied. The remaining passengers, about 1,500 people, died when the ship sank. The
leading cause of death was cardiac arrest due to the shock of the freezing waters.
After the tragedy, investigations were made by both the US and British governments and new
safety measures were required for ships. News of the tragedy immediately captured the attention
of the public. Many were perplexed that such a large ship could suddenly sink. Others enjoyed
hearing stories about the final moments of the ship and the heroic actions of passengers who
sacrificed their lives to save others. Of course, there were also stories of cowards who decided to
save themselves instead of rescuing others. This interest in the Titanic continues to this day, as
several films and documentaries have been made about the legendary ship.
36. Why did Captain Smith get his nickname?
A. He was the captain of a million ships.
B. He worked for lots of rich people.
C. He was paid a large salary.
D. He had been to many locations.

had somehow melted his treat. Afterwards, Spencer and his coworkers started to experiment with
heating other things. They tried heating some popcorn kernels and it worked like a charm. Next,
they tried to cook an egg with microwaves, but it literally blew up in their face.
In 1945, the company that Spencer worked for, Raytheon, filed a patent for the technology
and started working on ways to make microwave ovens more efficient. The first commercial
microwave ovens hit the market, and an industry was bom. In the first few years, things didn’t
appear too promising. Early microwaves were quite expensive and they were big and chunky, so
it was difficult to fit them in most kitchens. Yet, people did see the benefit an ease of being able
to cook foods so quickly. Therefore, once manufacturers were able to shrink the device and bring
down the price a bit, sales started to skyrocket. By 1986, approximately 25 percent of Americans
had a microwave oven in their kitchen.
Through the years, many people have questioned the safety and potential negative health
effects of microwaves, fearing that the technology was a little too good to be true. Yet, some
studies have shown that microwaving food actually helps it to retain more nutrients because of
the short cooking times and minimal water required. However, it is essential to use microwave
containers to avoid harmful chemicals from possibly leaking into your food. Microwave dishes
may never be seen as gourmet cooking, but when you are in a hurry, nothing beats this method of
cooking.

A. identifying planes B. inventing a magnetron
C. cooking eggs D. melting candy bars
46. What best matches the meaning of the phrase “worked like a charm” in paragraph 2?
A. didn’t work B. almost worked C. worked perfectly D. broke down
47. What does the sentence “the technology was a little too good to be true” in paragraph 4
mean?
A. It was too harmful. B. It was not necessary to worry about.
C. It was a little overstated. D. It was proved to be true soon.
48. Why were microwaves unpopular at first?
A. People couldn’t afford them. B. People didn’t believe they worked.
C. People were scared of them. D. People felt they were too small.

Piranhas on Parade
With the exception of whales and sharks, fish are generally considered to be harmless
creatures. The thought of a small fish hurting anyone is almost laughable. However, piranhas are
an exception to this rule. They frequently attack in groups and in some cases they can cause great
bodily harm.
Most piranhas are under 25 centimetres long, but don’t let their size fool you. Unlike most
fish, they have two rows of razor-sharp teeth. Their triangular shape makes them perfect for
puncturing and shredding whatever they bite. Although piranhas usually swim alone, they also
hunt in school of 1,000 fish or more, which greatly multiples the damage they are capable of. As
small fry, they feed of vegetables and plankton until they can tolerate meat. In terms of flesh, they
will eat any animals or fish that enters their territory when swimming in schools, even humans. In
some cases, hungry piranhas will even go after each other if they are really desperate for a snack.
However, the danger they present to humans is often exaggerated. In Hollywood films,
piranhas are often portrayed as vicious destroyers who love to eat people. Some rumours even
developed that schools of hungry piranhas will quickly kill and consume humans in a matter of
seconds. In reality, the majority of these attacks only consist of a few painful, but non-life
threatening bites to the person. However, that is not always the case.
A recent attack on December 25, 2013 in Argentina left at least 60 people injured. Victims
were wading in a river when a sudden attack began. Local police believe that some local debris
left floating by fishermen brought the piranhas to the area. Many swimmers left the water with
cuts all over their bodies, and a few even had to have their limbs amputated.
Oddly enough, some people choose to keep piranhas in their home aquariums. However,
piranhas can be tough to catch for this purpose because their sharp teeth can easily cut through
fishing nets. Before buying one, be sure to check local laws as it is illegal to own them in many
areas. Lawmakers often fear of the damage piranhas can cause to marine life if an owner decides
to release them into a local stream.
36. According to the first paragraph, what do people usually think about small fish?
A. They are nothing to worry about. B. They will cause lots of trouble.

The Great Energy Debate
Modern civilization is heavily dependent on energy. Without reliable power sources, we
couldn't operate machines, use transportation, communicate via the Internet, or do many other
things. Although everyone recognizes the importance of energy, deciding what kind of energy the
world should use in the future is not a simple task. The two leading candidates for this role are
green energy and nuclear energy.
Currently, most of the energy we use is derived from fossil fuels. Although this energy
source has got us this far, there are several problems with it. For starters, it is a finite resource
which is quickly running out. Some analysts have even estimated that the Earth could run out of
coal and oil within the next 50 years. Burning fossil fuels also creates large amount of pollution,
which is harmful to the environment. Although fossil fuels still provide the majority of our
power, governments are seeking better energy sources to use going forward.
Green energy is one option that is becoming increasingly attractive. It includes technologies
such as solar, wind, and hydro power. These are seen as clean sources of energy because they
cause very little pollution. In addition, they are completely renewable, so there is no danger that it
will run out. The major disadvantage with green energy sources is that they are not cheap.
The other alternative is nuclear power. Like green energy, it is also a renewable source of
power that will not run out, and it also doesn’t produce air pollution. In addition, nuclear power is
more reliable than green energy, as it doesn’t depend on sunshine, rain, or wind to operate. The
major issues with nuclear power are safety concerns and nuclear waste. Nuclear power plants

create a considerable amount of nuclear waste which is extremely hazardous to people’s health. If
they happen to have a meltdown, this could destroy the surrounding area for years to come.
The recent nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan brought this reality into the spotlight once
again. In response, Germany announced it would close down eight of its nuclear plants
immediately, and close the rest by 2022. Meanwhile, other nations refuse to give up on nuclear
power, stating that these disasters are rare. The debate of whether to use green or nuclear power
will likely continue for some time. In the end, it is quite possible that both energy sources will be
used to fuel our planet.

also have several other advantages. They can stay in the air for longer periods of time because
there is no concern for eating, sleeping, or rest breaks that pilots typically require. Drones can
also be produced cheaper since manufacturers don’t need to value safety precautions as they
would for aircraft flown by humans.
Despite their usefulness, military drones have been the cause of great criticism over the past
decade. There have been cases of British and American drones missing their targets and killing
innocent civilians instead. The Brookings Institution released a statistic that for every military
leader who is killed by a drone strike, ten civilians die. Some suggest that if human pilots were
flying these planes, they wouldn’t have made these errors. Drones don’t always have targets that
they must eliminate. The military also employs special surveillance drones that use long-range
cameras to gather information about buildings, enemy solider formations, and other vital
information from the ground. In the end, whether people are for or against the use of drones, it

Google Books: Cataloging the World's Library
The digital age has brought us several conveniences which seemed unimaginable just a few
decades ago. In particular, it has changed the way in which we consume and store information.
Before the Internet, people would need large rooms with bookshelves if they wanted to maintain a
large book collection. However, thanks to e-books and services like Google Books, readers have
access to millions of books with a few clicks of their mice.
Google Books is a service provided by Google that catalogs books by scanning them and
making them searchable online. The project kicked off in 2004 with the ambitious goal of
creating the largest body of human knowledge ever and making it available online. To date,
Google Books has scanned over 30 million books into its catalog. By the end of the decade, its
goal is to cover every book that is currently available.
Using Google Books is quite convenient, as it is integrated into Google’s search engine.
When searching for a book that Google Books has in its catalog, users can access some contents
of the books depending on its copyright status. If a work is considered to be in the public domain,
as many old books are, they can read the entire thing. However, if a book is still under copyright,
the searcher will often be able to preview a few pages. In some cases, when an author has not
given permission to display their work, only a few random lines of text from the book will be
displayed.
Although most book lovers and researchers are thrilled that Google has scanned so many
books, several publishers are upset by the company’s actions. They believe that Google Books is
hurting their business. In 2005, a group of publishers joined together to sue Google claiming
massive copyright violations. In response, Google claimed that its procedures were in line with
the concept of fair use, which specifies that it is legal to display parts of copyrighted works if it is
for educational purposes. Furthermore, Google compared its project to a modern-day online
equivalent to libraries’ card catalog system. In November 2013, the case went to trial and a judge
Trang 4
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 26
ruled in favour of Google. Although the publishers have announced that they will appeal the
verdict, the decision is a good indicator that Google is inching closer to becoming the main
caretaker of the world’s library of books.
36. What is the goal of Google Books?
A. To put every book available online
B. To encourage people to read more often
C. To print millions of textbooks for free
D. To help publishers earn more money
37. What will users see if an author does NOT give Google Books permission?
A. They can view the entire book.
B. They will only see a few sentences.
C. They can only read one or two chapters.
D. They will not see anything at all.
38. Why are publishers upset with Google Books?
A. They think Google is ruining their books.
B. The author’s names are listed on books.
C. Most publishers are against e-book sales.
D. They feel that Google is costing them money.
39. What could replace the word “preview” in paragraph 3?
A. purchase B. protect C. sample D. destroy

A. copyright B. selling C. copying D. display

Getting Curious about Curiosity's Mission to Mars
The topic of space exploration reached a high point during the 1960s, as Soviets and
Americans competed for dominance. Yet after the Soviets put the first man in space and
Americans landed the first men on the moon, many people lost interest as nothing else could
compare to these groundbreaking accomplishments. Recently, a robotic rover on a mission to
Mars has generated massive interest from the public.
Curiosity is a robotic car-sized rover that is part of NASA’s long-term plan to learn more
Trang 5
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 26
about the terrain and conditions on the Red Planet. One of its main goals was to determine
whether or not it was possible for life to develop on Mars. Using mechanical arms, Curiosity can
gather soil and rock samples from the ground and analyze them to determine their chemical
composition. Since transporting around Mars was vital to the success of the mission, a lot of
effort was put into Curiosity’s transportation abilities. Mars’ terrain is not smooth, so designers
enabled Curiosity to roll over bumpy areas. Once Curiosity left the Earth, there would be no
opportunities to repair it, so engineers also had to be spot on about Curiosity’s power solution.
Therefore, they devised a system that can generate power internally from a radioisotope
generator. Finally, to capture stunning pictures of Mars, Curiosity was equipped with several
state-of-the-art cameras. The cameras also help the rover avoid hazards, navigate, and detect
information about the atmosphere.
After a 350-million-mile journey, Curiosity landed on Mars in 2012, an impressive 1.5 miles
away from its initial target. Upon arrival, NASA’s website crashed due to an overload of visitors.
People just couldn’t seem to get enough information on the mission. But the real thrills came in
the weeks and months that followed, as people got their first real glimpse about what life was
really like on Mars. The mission was originally supposed to last for two years, but scientists are
now optimistic that it could continue for up to 15 years, depending on Curiosity’s condition. No
matter what happens at this point, it is safe to say that Curiosity’s mission to Mars has been a
smashing success.
43. According to the passage, the popularity of space exploration reached its__________in the
1960s.
A. drop B. break C. peak D. hit
44. Why did Curiosity have arms?
A. So it could study objects on Mars.
B. So it could push itself up if it fell.
C. So it could steer the ship it was on.
D. So it could defend itself from attack.
45. What best matches the meaning of the phrase “spot on” in paragraph 2?
A. available B. perfect C. seen D. location
46. All of the following are the difficulties that Curiosity had to overcome EXCEPT
that_________.
A. it rolled over bumpy areas when it was in action
B. it got no repair from technicians when it was in action
C. it was equipped with several state-of-the-art cameras
D. it had to operate on its own energy
47. Why did NASA’s website crash in 2012?
A. It wasn’t meant to work in space. B. It was quite poorly designed.
C. Many people tried to attack it. D. Many people visited it at once.
48. What has been the highlight of Curiosity’s mission that the author suggests so far?
A. The rock samples that were collected

Journalists: Protection of Sources
Being a reporter for a major news publication can be a difficult job. The best journalists often
work long hours and have to do a bit of dirty work to uncover scandals that others want to remain
secret. In many cases, it is a bit of information provided by an undisclosed source that finally
helps to break the story. But do reporters have a legal right to keep their sources a secret?
The protection of sources is the idea that journalists have the right to keep their sources of
their news stories a secret. Those who support this idea insist that if reported are forced to reveal
their sources, it will be much harder for them to do their job. It certainly seems logical that fewer
people would come forward with sensitive information if they know that eventually their identity
will be revealed to the public. Furthermore, in cases where the source’s information uncovers a
ring of corruption or somehow damages the reputation of a rich and powerful person or company,
releasing the source’s identity could put their life in danger.
For the most part, reporters are rarely required by law to reveal undisclosed sources if it is a
minor case of little importance. Yet in some instances, when vital or leaked information is
involved, a journalist may be asked to testify in court and reveal how they got their information.
In the US, such a situation arose after a mass shooting in Colorado in 2012. One journalist, with
information provided by an anonymous source, wrote an article claiming that the suspected killer
had sent a diary detailing plans to kill people to his psychiatrist a few days before the murder
occurred. The suspect’s lawyer then demanded the reporter should reveal her source because they
felt it damaged their defense case. In the end, the judge declined to force the reporter to testify.
So are there any cases when reporters should reveal their sources? Many would argue that
when the issue is a matter of national security, journalists should be willing to reveal their sources
if it can help to save lives. For instance, let’s say a reporter receives a tip from an anonymous
source about a terrorist attack. In this scenario, saving innocent lives should be more important
than protecting one’s source. In the end, it seems that forcing reporters to reveal their sources
should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
36. What is the main reason that reporters should NOT reveal their sources?
A. Their sources won’t trust them anymore.
B. It is against the law for them to do so.
C. It will put government officials in danger.

it crashed into debris from an old French rocket. Then in 2009, an old Russian satellite collided
with a working US satellite. The end result was an additional 2,000 pieces of space junk that was
added to the junk pile.
As the current situation can only worsen, it is now up to the international community to
cooperate and create a plan to deal with space debris. For starters, several nations have pledged to
take more care with the items they discard in space to cut down on future debris. Researchers are
working on devising a way to label space junk, so it can be avoided. Others have proposed more
creative techniques to recapture the garbage and discard it on the Earth, or destroy it with lasers.
The nightmare scenario that everyone fears is if the Kessler Syndrome starts to occur. This is
when the density of garbage becomes so high that it sets off a chain reaction of collisions which
would raise the probability of accidents even further. Although there is not a long-term solution in
place for space debris, nations are starting to understand the seriousness of this problem.

A. It will fall down to the Earth.
B. It will catch fire and burn things.
C. It will be packed even closer together.
D. It will cause the prices of spaceships to increase.
48. What best summarizes the current situation regarding space garbage?
A. Countries know there is a problem but they have no solution.

Inside the Mind of a Sushi Legend
During our lives, it is likely we will have not one, but several careers. People often change
jobs due to boredom, to earn more money, or because they want to experience more from life.
Although this certainly brings variety to life, it also prevents workers from achieving mastery in
their craft. This is what makes Sukiyabashi Jiro so incredible. For the past 75 years, he was
dedicated his life to one goal: perfecting his technique so that he can make the world’s best sushi.
In the documentary Jiro: Dreams of Sushi, viewers get a peek inside the life of this genius.
For Jiro, who owns a three-star Michelin restaurant, sushi is not simply taking raw fish,
vinegar, and rice, and arranging them together. He insists that every detail must be perfect.
Watching him at work is similar to seeing an artist in action. Yet, the true key to his success is not
creative imagination: it’s his dedication and repetition. Jiro has kept the same daily schedule for
decades. As he goes about his tasks, he always searches for small ways to improve his craft. Jiro
won’t accept anything less than the best. He has committed to using only the freshest ingredients,
and he’ll do whatever it takes to get them. This means heading down to the local fish market
daily to purchase fish which has just been caught that day. Jiro only deals with the top fish dealer,
who is also a master of his trade. This seller reserves only the best of the best for Jiro, which Jiro
inspects closely before making his choices. Back at the shop, the sushi rice is also prepared with
delicate care. If he senses something is not up to standards, he will have his employees trash it
and start all over again.
At the age of 85, Jiro is aware that he won’t be able to continue making sushi forever.
Therefore, he has been training his two middle-aged sons for many years to learn his techniques
and philosophies. His eldest son, Yamamoto, works side- by-side with Jiro to this day. His
younger son, Takashi, has opened his own sushi restaurant elsewhere in Tokyo. In the film, both
sons discuss how difficult it is trying to live up to their famous father’s expectations and match
his rigorous work ethic. To learn more about Jiro and his methods, be sure to catch this
fascinating film.
36. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. People today are more focused on their careers.
B. Older people usually work harder than younger ones.
C. In the future, few people will be interested in sushi.
D. In the past, people worked fewer jobs in the lives.

37. What does the passage say that Jiro hasn’t changed?

38. What does the word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. His customers B. His employees
C. His business partners D. High-quality goods
39. The word “rigorous” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_________.
A. careful B. negative C. realistic D. strict
40. Which of the following best describes Jiro?
A. He is a genius who lost interest in his job.
B. He is an owner who changes his mind often.
C. He is a perfectionist who watches every detail.
D. He is a lazy person who does as little as possible.
41. What does the passage suggest Jiro’s sons have trouble with?
A. They can’t find enough customers for the restaurant.
B. They aren’t as good as their father at making sushi.
C. They are both fighting to gain control of their dad’s business.
D. They don’t get along with each other and rarely have conversations.
42. Which of the following statements does the author support most?
A. Jiro’s two sons have met their father’s expectations.
B. Dedication and determination are the keys to success.
C. Achievements can be acquired through succeeding generations.
D. Sons should not be under the shadow of their father.

Space Tourism
If you are like most people, you probably dream of spending your next vacation sightseeing
or relaxing in a tropical spot. But pretty soon, you may have the option of blasting into space and
exploring the universe. It appears that space tourism may start to experience a boom that is sure to
be out of this world.
Since ancient times, humans have surely dreamed about visiting space. However, it was just
a fantasy until 1961, when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to fly into
space. Yet in the years following, only a few highly-trained Soviet and American astronauts
managed to leave the Earth’s atmosphere. In the mid-1980s, the US began to relax some of its
restrictions. In 1986, an engineer named Charles Walker became the first non-government
employee to fly into space. A year later, an American teacher named Christa McAuliffe was
chosen to be the first teacher in space. Unfortunately, the Space Shuttle she was on, The
Challenger, crashed during takeoff, killing everyone on board. Space tourism got an unexpected
Trang 8
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 28
boost from the collapse of the Soviet Union. With Russia’s space programme in dire need of
money, it became open to offers for space tourism. In 1990, a Japanese reporter was allowed to
fly with a Russian crew into space, but the trip would cost his employer $28 million. In the late
1990s, a private company, MirCorp, started organizing trips to space for wealthy individuals.
Now, many other companies are trying to do the same.
Still, most people who want to become space tourists face a major barrier: the price. Early
space tourists have paid dozens of millions of dollars for a seven-to- ten-day stay outside the
Earth. However, there are some indications that the price will come down in the near future.
Some corporations are gearing up for this with big plans to make space a more hospitable place.
The luxurious hotel chain Hilton has expressed interest in opening a space hotel in the next 15 to
20 years. Meanwhile, some experts believe that flights to and from the moon could become a
common occurrence within a few decades. Hopefully someday soon we will all have the chance
to get to know our solar system a little bit better.

A. The first space tourist traveled into space.

B. A businesswoman who supported space tourism
C. A Soviet official who banned space tourism
D. An American teacher who wanted to travel into space

A. It made space tourism more expensive.
B. It made space tourism become a reality.
C. It delayed the start of space tourism for many years.
D. It prevented people from flying into space for a decade.

American Barbecue Tradition
The US often gets a bad rap for its cuisine, as two of its most popular dishes - hot dogs and
hamburgers - are classified as fast foods. However, many Americans have perfected a technique
that is anything but fast. It involves covering meats with special sauces and spices and roasting
them for long periods of time. It is called barbecue, and every region of the country has its own
special way of doing it.
Barbecuing meats over open fires can add a smoky taste to the meat and add some peculiar
flavours. Although this way of cooking surely existed in other cultures, the first reference to
barbecuing in the US was found in documents from the 17 th century. As Americans expanded
westward, they brought barbecue along with them. Although barbecue is popular in every US
state today, its true home is the Southeastern US, as you can find 70 percent of the nation’s top
barbecue restaurants there.
It is important to make a distinction between grilling and barbecuing. Grilling is a faster style
of cooking that is used when a meat is cooked over a fire on a barbecue grill. What sets
barbecuing apart from grilling is the longer exposure time to the smoke. Sometimes, meats can be
barbecued at low temperatures for over 24 hours, which makes them more flavorful and tender
than grilled meats. Because of this, cooks can use rougher cuts of meat when barbecuing because
the slow-cooking process will make them softer in the end.
The most popular barbecue dish of all is pork ribs, which is a specialty in Memphis,
Tennessee. Ribs are served two ways: wet and dry. “Wet” ribs are coated with a thick and tangy
sauce, whereas “dry” ribs are coated with spices instead. In Carolina, pulled pork is the most
popular way to barbecue and the sauce contains more vinegar than most other regions. Texans
love barbecue so much that they created four separate styles that use different sauces and cooking
Trang 2
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 29
methods. In addition to pork, Texans frequently barbecue beef, lamb, and anything else you can
possibly imagine. In Kentucky, people frequently serve their barbecue on bread to add some
carbohydrates to the meal. In the end, you can choose which barbecue style you like best, or
better yet, just enjoy them all.

The Invention of the Periodic Table
If you are looking to gain a better understanding of the world around you, chemistry is the
perfect subject to study. It is an examination of matter, its properties, and its interactions with
everything around it. Where physics often deals with concepts and theories that are difficult to
test and observe, chemistry principles can easily be applied to medicine, cooking, and several
other areas. At the heart of all these discoveries is one vital chart that organizes elements based on
their atomic number and chemical properties: the periodic table.
Although the first periodic table was published in 1869, it was a work in progress for
Trang 2
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 29
hundreds, if not thousands of years. Since ancient times, people have been fascinated with
elements such as gold, tin, and copper in their natural forms. They were mined and used to make
jewellery, weapons, coins, and many other things. Over time, people became more curious about
these metals and how they were composed. In ancient Greece, Aristotle and other philosophers
claimed things were made from the elements of earth, water, fire, and air. For years, this theory
was accepted. Then people began to reevaluate this concept during the Age of Enlightenment.
In 1661, Irish scientist Robert Boyle defined an element as something that “cannot be broken
down into a simpler substance by a chemical reaction”. Over a century later, French chemist
Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier would publish the first modem textbook on chemistry. In it, he listed
several substances which he believed should be classified as elements into two categories: metals,
and non- metals. Although his work wasn’t completely accurate, it represented a major step
forward at the time. Over the next century, scientists started to classify the elements into different
groups depending on their properties and atomic weights. However, it is Russian chemist Dmitri
Mendeleev who is usually credited as the first person to make a periodic table. Although other
scientists had submitted tables, they were eventually rejected by the scientific community for a
lack of detail. Mendeleev arranged all of the elements according to their atomic mass. He was
even smart enough to leave empty spaces for elements which hadn’t been discovered at the time.
Although Mendeleev’s periodic table wasn’t perfect, it set the format which is similar to the one
used today.
43. What is the passage mainly about?
A. An important method of organization
B. The discovery of an important element
C. The life of the man who invented the periodic table
D. The habits of the world’s greatest scientists
44. How is chemistry different from physics?
A. Chemistry involves a lot more mathematics.
B. Its effects are easier to see in the real world.
C. Physics isn’t useful for anything at all.
D. There isn’t much of a difference between them.
45. Why did people first become interested in elements?
A. Many people wanted to be like Mendeleev.
B. They became interested after the periodic table was invented.
C. Everyone in ancient times was interested in science.
D. They wanted to use metals to make things.
46. The word “credited” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.
A. added B. decided C. believed D. made
47. What did Robert Boyle do?
A. He wrote down every element on the Earth.
B. He wrote the first textbook about science.
C. He defined the word “element”.
D. He showed Mendeleev how to use a periodic table.

48. Why is Mendeleev usually given credit for inventing the periodic table?
A. He was surely the first person to create this kind of table.
B. He created the table and many other scientists approved of it.
C. He decided to name the table after himself.
D. He asked for the periodic table to be credited to him.
49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Mendeleev left empty spaces for elements which hadn’t been discovered at the time.
B. The work of Robert Boyle might be used as the base for further study of elements.
C. The concept of chemical elements in ancient Greece was not accepted at all.
D. Mendeleev arranged all of the elements according to their atomic weights.
50. We can infer from the passage that________.
A. Lavoisier also published a periodic table of metals and non-metals.
B. the tables submitted by other scientists did not cover all the available elements
C. physics doesn’t deal with matter and its properties
D. people have become interested in how metals and non-metals are composed recently

Hooray for Hip Hop
It is amazing how far hip hop music has come in its relatively short history. You can trace the
roots of this urban art form to New York City in the 1970s. Hip hop began as a spontaneous way
of entertaining crowds. DJs discovered that people loved dancing to the drum breaks in popular
funk and soul records. These breaks were typically brief, so DJs would move or “scratch” records
back to extend them. In addition, a master of ceremonies (MC) would sometimes grab the
microphone and say a few words to get the crowd more excited. At first, the words of MCs were
simple chants but they later became a more complex form of poetry. Still, for several years rap
remained an underground art. Then, in the early 1980s, artists like LL Cool J, KRS-One, and Run
DMC helped it reach a wider audience.
Nevertheless, hip hop didn’t have an easy road to mainstream success. Many people
dismissed rap music because no “real musicians” were involved in creating it. Critics blamed the
beats were repetitive and stolen from other artists. Others claimed the lyrics were too negative
and violent. Yet they were overlooking several things. The lyrics were often from the perspective
of underprivileged youths growing up in the big city. Although these words were often dark, they
painted a clear picture that allowed outsiders to understand their joys and pain. Not all hip hop
songs had a heavy message, though. Others were quite humorous and showed a lighter side of
street life.
The influence of hip hop would spread far beyond music itself. In fact, a collection of other
art forms, would develop out of it. Since hip hop music had a beat like no other music before it,
new dance styles had to emerge. B-boying, more commonly called break dancing, was one of
these styles. Break dancers featured lots of spinning and fancy moves that took speed, agility, and
lots of practice to perfect. Hip hop also helped to inspire waves of modem street graffiti. Urban
artists would spray-paint their names on walls and subway cars as a rebellious way of expressing
themselves. After nearly three decades of popularity, hip hop has spread from New York to every
continent on the earth and it is still going strong as it continues to evolve.
36. What best describes the early lyrics of hip hop?
A. They were very complex and hard to understand.

A Microchip in Your Body
In 1998, a British scientist named Kevin Warwick did an experiment. He inserted a small
microchip into his left arm. He used the microchip to turn on lights, work with his computer, and
even start the water for his bath. After only nine days, Warwick removed the microchip from his
arm. Nine days is not a long time, but it was enough to give the world a very important message.
It is possible to have a microchip in your body.
Many people think that someday, we all will have microchips. There are all kinds of things
that a microchip could do. It could be useful for simple, everyday things. You might not have to
carry keys, because you could use your microchip to open the front door of your house. You
might not need cash, because you could use your microchip to buy things.
A microchip might be able to do more important things. For example, a microchip could
contain all of your important health information. If you had an emergency and went to hospital,
doctors could read your microchip and learn all of your health history. Some scientists even
believe that someday a microchip could help cure diseases.
Many people dislike the idea of a microchip in their body. They have a lot of concerns. Is it
safe? Could a microchip make you sick? Besides, would other people be able to read your
microchip and steal your personal information?
People are especially worried about personal freedom. This is probably the biggest reason
why so many people are against these microchips. What if your government could use your
microchip to watch you? What if your government could use your microchip to find your
location? Do you want the government to have that information about you? Again, for most
people the answer is “no”.
Nobody has microchips in their body yet. We don’t know if this will ever happen. If we ever
do have microchips, we don’t know what they would look like or what they would do. What do
you think? Would you like to have a microchip inserted into your body?
36. How long was the microchip in Warwick’s body?
A. Nine minutes B. Nine days C. Nine months D. Nine years

used. When you know the local farmer who grows your food and the fields that are used to
produce it, the chances of it being contaminated are greatly reduced.
Buying local foods can also have beneficial impact on the environment. By supporting local
growers, consumers can maintain green space and farmland in their communities. Buying locally
also helps to build the local community. If farmers can sell directly to consumers instead of a
middleman, they will earn more money for their families. Additional profits also enable farmers
to better care for their soil and keep quality standards high. In the end, it is a win-win situation for
both parties.
If you are interested in incorporating more local foods into your diet, you can start by
attending a farmers’ market in your area. This is an open market where farmers sell fruits,
vegetables, and meat directly to the public. If you have any questions about the production
process or quality of these goods, you can ask the farmers directly. Once you experience the
freshness of local foods for yourself, it might be tough to go back to the supermarket.
Notes:
- pick up steam = start working more effectively

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 from 36 to 42.
Clean, Convenient, and Cheap
Big cities like New York and London have a lot of great things. They have museums, parks,
shopping centres, and a huge variety of restaurants. However, there are a lot of annoying things in
big cities. The most common problems are air pollution and noise.
Traffic is the main cause of air pollution and noise. For example, drivers in New York are
famous for honking their horns and shouting. That noise drives many visitors crazy - it even
drives a lot of the locals crazy, too. Other big cities have similar problems with their traffic.
City governments have a lot of pressure to solve these problems. The most common solution
is public transportation. Public transportation is a form of travel provided by the government. For
example, New York’s biggest form of public transportation is the subway.
Public transportation helps reduce these problems, but it is not enough. Another solution is
bicycle sharing. This is a system that provides cheap bicycles. In cities that have bicycle sharing
programmes, there are spots that have parked public bikes. People borrow the bikes and use them.
They can drop off the bike at the same spot where they borrowed it, or they can drop it off at
another spot.
Bicycle sharing programmes are different in each city. In some cities, the bikes are
completely free. They are not even locked. In other cities, you have to pay a small deposit. You
get the deposit back when you return the bike. In still other cities, you need to have a membership
with the bicycle sharing programme. Once you have a membership with the bicycle sharing
programme, you can use a bike at any time you want.
Bicycle sharing is hugely popular all over the world. People love this system because it is
cheap, clean, and easy to use. There are bicycle sharing systems in dozens of countries and
hundreds of cities. In total, there are more than 530 bicycle sharing systems around the world, and
that number is going up all the time.

microloans, at the very least they offer everyone the potential of becoming an entrepreneur.
For most of the 20th century, companies required large sums of money and plenty of
manpower to compete at the highest levels. In the late 1990s, the Internet changed this and many
microenterprises came about. Microenterprises are smaller companies that employ less than 10
people and only require small sums of money to start. Being small offers lots of flexibility to
these companies as they can react more quickly than corporate giants when a business
opportunity arises. Many technology companies that produce mobile apps and websites fall into
this category. Keep in mind that having a small staff doesn’t mean small profits, as
microenterprises can earn hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
Thinking small can also lead to a tremendous improvement in quality. One example of this is
microbreweries, which are smaller-sized breweries that produce far less beer than traditional
breweries. Since microbreweries don’t have to target large markets and make millions of sales to
stay open, they can monitor the brewing process carefully to make sure everything is perfect. In
addition, microbreweries can experiment with unique flavours that many traditional brewers
would shy away from. So the next time you are asked to “think big”, remember that good things
may also come in small packages.
43. According to the passage, who are microloans supposed to help?
A. Rich people who want to own more businesses
B. Bankers who want to earn money by investing
C. Poor people who want to buy new things for their family
D. Farmers who want to start their own businesses
44. We can infer from paragraph 2 that thanks to microloans from the Grameen Bank, poor
local people can_________.
A. avoid borrowing money with very high interest
B. borrow money without any interest
C. cooperate to open large businesses
D. put gangsters offering big loans into prison
45. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. gangsters B. people who need loans
C. friends of Yunus D. those who work at banks
46. What could best replace the phrase “popping up” in paragraph 2?
A. complaining B. disappearing C. opening D. discovering
47. The type of businesses which is most interested in microloans may be_________.
A. small companies that employ more than 100 people
B. companies that require plenty of well qualified manpower
C. companies with plenty of business opportunities
D. the software companies producing mobile apps and web sites
48. What advantages do small companies have over larger corporations?
A. They can make faster decisions.
B. They usually have more money.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words
In 1826, a man named Joseph Nicephore Niepce went to the upstairs window of his home in
France. He used a new invention called a camera to take the world’s first photograph of nature.
Niepce’s photograph shows us the view from his window. However, it is very difficult to know
that when you look at the picture. The image is not very clear at all. That doesn’t matter. On that
day, Niepce changed the world forever.
Photography first became very popular in the 1850s and 1860s. People liked it because it
showed more details than other kinds of art. A painting or a statue might be more beautiful than a
photograph, but a photograph can tell you a much clearer story.
Many people believe that colour photographs didn’t exist until the 1920s, but that’s not true.
The first colour photograph was taken in 1855. It shows a colourful ribbon. Before the 1920s,
people didn’t often use colour photography because it was very complicated and expensive. Even
after colour photography became easier and cheaper, many people still preferred black and white
pictures. They felt that black and white had a more “classic photo” feeling. In the 1940s, colour
photography finally replaced black and white.
When we think of the history of photography, it is amazing to think of how easy it is to take
pictures today. Many years ago, only professionals had cameras. These days, just about
everybody has one. One of the biggest reasons for this change is the popularity of smartphones.
Almost every modem smartphones. Almost every modem smartphone has a camera. These
smartphone cameras are very easy to use and they also take very clear pictures. Most of them
have a video function.
One thing that hasn’t changed is the importance of photography. These days, a picture can
still create all kinds of feelings and emotions inside of us. There is a saying, “A picture is worth a
thousand words.”
36. What is NOT true about Joseph Nicephore Niepce?
A. He was from France.
B. He took the first picture of nature.
C. His picture showed the view from his window.
D. His picture was very clear.
37. What happened in the 1940s?
A. Colour photography became more popular than black and white photography.
B. People started to use smartphones.

Obesity: Shrinking the World's Waistline
For most of human history, the majority of the world’s population struggled to get enough
food. Although starvation is also a big issue in some countries, many nations are now facing the
opposite problem - people are consuming too much food. In the past few decades, obesity has
become a global concern that physicians around the globe are trying to deal with.
Obesity occurs when a person becomes so overweight that their extra weight starts to
endanger their health. Many experts believe that the rise of obesity is closely linked to the rise of
cheap, high-calorie foods that bring little health benefits. These foods often contain lots of salt,
sugar, and fat. But this is not the only reason that people are getting heavier. In addition to poor
food choices, people are burning fewer calories because their lives have become lazier and they
don’t get enough exercise.
There is no denying that the statics are alarming. Since 1980, the world’s obesity rate has
almost doubled. Furthermore, the number of obese people is roughly about equal to the number of
people who are underweight. This increasing obesity rate has led to skyrocketing health care costs
in several countries. Obesity has been shown to increase the risks of several deadly diseases. This
includes heart disease, some forms of cancer, and diabetes.
Dealing with obesity has proven to be more difficult than originally anticipated. This is
because there are many factors which contribute to people becoming obese. First, if you walk
Trang 5
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 33
through any supermarket, you will find many more processed foods than fresh ones like fruits and
vegetables. Although these processed foods are void of nutrition, they are much cheaper and
easier to prepare than fresh foods. Corporate marketing campaigns make things worse, as
companies that sell junk foods will spend millions of dollars to convince consumers to buy their
foods without mentioning that they are unhealthy.
Some people are fighting back obesity though, including the former US First Lady Michelle
Obama. She has started an organization called Let's Move that specifically targets childhood
obesity. The organization believes in educating students, parents, and educators about how to
prepare healthy foods and showing them fun ways to get exercise. Let's Move also works closely
with schools to ensure that nutritious and affordable meals are provided in schools, so the process
of staying in shape won’t be difficult. Although we are a long way from defeating the obesity
problem, programmes like this one are a good start.
Note (be) void of sth = completely lacking sth
43. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Some different programmes started by Michelle Obama.
B. The types of foods people should eat to get skinny.
C. Jobs that are making people’s lives more difficult.
D. A health issue facing many nations around the globe.
44. According to the passage, what is true about starvation?
A. It is no longer a problem in any countries.
B. It affects as many people in the world as obesity.
C. It continues to get worse every year.
D. It has recently become a much bigger problem than obesity.
45. Why are countries having so many problems dealing with obesity?
A. No one wants to admit that it is really a problem.
B. There are many reasons why people are getting obese.
C. People in most nations really want to be become obese.
D. No one knows any statistics about obesity around the world.
46. All of the following are the reasons for obesity EXCEPT that_________.
A. a variety of junk foods looks very attractive
B. processed foods are much cheaper and easier to prepare than traditional foods
C. companies spend millions of dollars to make processed foods more nutritious
D. people are not exercising enough to consume the extra calories
47. What could replace the word “skyrocketing” in paragraph 3?
A. declining B. equal
C. increasing D. unfair
48. What is the main goal of Let's Move?
A. To stop children from getting too fat
B. To give students more delicious foods

matter, we all rely on our core muscles heavily to get things done. Studies have shown that
athletes who build a powerful core foundation aren’t injured as much. Meanwhile, the benefits of
your average Joe may be even greater. Ordinary people use their core muscles for nearly every
task they do. This includes picking things up, sitting in a chair, or tying your shoes. Our core
muscles provide stability, so we can keep our balance and easily move in any direction. If we
neglect them, life can become much more difficult.
As a result, we should always consider our core muscles when designing our workouts.
However, if you have been sedentary for years, performing thousands of repetitions will
probably get you injured. Instead, start off slowly and gradually build up your numbers. An
excellent exercise for both beginners and advanced exercisers is the plank. You simply get in an
extended pushup position as if you have just finished a rep. Maintain this position, but place the
weight on your forearms instead of your hands. Then, hold the position as long as you can. You
should feel your core muscles working hard to help your hands and support the weight of your
body. In the beginning, you may only be able to hold it for a few seconds, but keep at it. The
Guinness World Record for abdominal planking is three hours ad seven minutes.
43. What does the passage suggest about looking at a person’s stomach muscles?
A. It is quite rude to do this.
B. It doesn’t really tell you anything.
C. It gives you an idea of their overall health.
D. It tells you a lot about their personality.
44. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. When people should start exercising their core
B. Why people should exercise their core
C. How people’s core muscles get weaker
D. What exercises help build a stronger core
45. What is a person’s core?
A. The types of food that are in their stomachs
B. The strength a person has in their arms
C. The whole body minus legs and arms
D. Only the stomach muscles
46. The word “Joe” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. a Mr. Joe B. a physical instructor
C. a typical ordinary person D. a set of shape indication
47. What would replace the word “sedentary” in the last paragraph?
A. depressed B. powerful C. motivated D. inactive
48. What benefits does having strong core muscles offer to athletes?
A. It reduces the amount of exercises they do.
B. It stops them from getting stomachache.
C. It helps them remember things.
D. It keeps them from getting hurt.

Moving Your Mind for Maximum Fitness
When people design a new workout programme, they often target their chest, stomach, and
leg muscles, hoping to sculpt the perfect physique. However, they often neglect the most
important part of the body: the brain. Our brains grow stronger when we exercise them and
weaker when neglected. To assist in keeping our minds sharp, several websites and apps offer
brain games to help us get our mental workouts accomplished in a very short time.
As we age, our vocabulary continues to expand and we become better at creative plans.
However, by the time we enter our 20s, our prefrontal cortex starts to shrink. Although part of the
reason for our decline is physical, there is evidence that targeted exercises can halt or even
reserve cognitive damage. Throughout our lives we maintain the ability to create new neurons
whenever we learn something new, like a foreign language or a new sport. By repeating these
activities we create new pathways and connections between neurons that keep our minds
functioning at an optimal level. This is what brain fitness exercises aim to accomplish.
These digital exercises are broken into different categories. The first is memory exercises.
These programmes display information to users and then quiz us to see how much we can recall.
The second type is attention exercises. These games get users to focus on multiple tasks at once,
dividing their attention. Although trying to concentrate on several things at once during work is
not recommended, doing it in a game environment can help to strengthen our focus in the long
term. Speed exercises, on the other hand, are designed to keep our minds agile. In addition to
these major categories, there are other games that focus on specific situations like remembering

Becoming an Art Dealer
It is many people’s dream to become a world-famous artist. Unfortunately, it can be
extremely difficult to make a living solely from selling your paintings or sculptures. But don’t
worry because there are other jobs in the world of art that you can pursue. One possible career
option is to become an art dealer.
An art dealer works on behalf of artists to help them sell works to museums and galleries
around the world. To be successful at this profession, it requires a well-rounded skill set. For
starters, it helps a lot if you love art and are knowledgeable about art history. Having business
skills will also be quite useful, as it will be necessary to negotiate with buyers, and help the artists
you represent market their work. If becoming an art dealer sounds appealing, there are several
steps which you can follow. Although you may have a love for a wide range of styles, you should
start by choosing one category to focus on. Buyers usually prefer to deal with a specialist in a
particular area than someone who is a jack of all trades. When selecting your focus, choose an
area that you are passionate about instead of something that seems lucrative. Art trends come and
go, so there is no use trying to predict what is hot. These trends will certainly change over the
course of your career.
Once you selected an area to focus on, start to contact some museums, galleries, and other
companies in the art world and send them your resume. The majority of art dealers begin their
careers working as interns for these kinds of companies. Although these interns may be paid little,
or in some cases nothing at all, the experience of learning how art businesses work will certainly
serve you down the road.
It pays to be flexible in the beginning, as the most important thing is to get your foot in the
door. Museums and galleries may offer you several positions including a sales assistant or a

BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 37
junior art consultant. Whichever job you accept, be sure to learn it well and give it your best. In
addition to your responsibilities, make sure your start to network with others in your industry.

A man stands over a bathtub that is filled with ice. Although it is the middle of winter, he
slowly slides into the tub and submerges his body underneath the water. Within seconds, he
begins to shiver, but after a few minutes he is able to settle down. Despite the temperature, he will
remain in the tub for the next 30 minutes. He is taking advantage of cold thermogenesis, a
growing trend that could improve people’s health.
Thermogenesis is an internal process that mammals undergo to generate heat when they are

cold temperatures regularly has been shown to boost men’s testosterone levels. It also boosts
metabolism, which allows people to burn fat more efficiently. Some people have reported that
cold thermogenesis also provides a mental lift once you have overcome the initial shock of the
cold water.
The positive effects of thermogenesis were known before, but it only started to become
popular after the 2008 Olympics. One man who helped spark this craze was Ray Cronise, a
NASA scientist and entrepreneur. He was reading an article that reported Michael Phelps ate
12,000 calories per day while training. The calories were so high that led him to believe that
something else besides exercise was helping Phelps to stay thin and muscular: the icy water in the
swimming pool. So he conducted his own experiment by drinking several glasses of ice water and
exposing himself to cold water. After six weeks of this regiment, he had lost 30 pounds.
There are several routines that a person can adopt if they are interested in starting their own
thermogenesis routine. One method is ice baths. This method may be a bit too drastic for average
people though. Instead, people may want to begin by dunking their face in cold water for a few
seconds, and then gradually increase the time. Next, they can progress to cold showers and baths
before moving on ice baths. An even more convenient way is to place an ice packet on the back
of your neck for 15 to 20 minutes every evening. Although these methods may be extreme, many
are willing to give them a go to improve their health.

It is sometimes called the breakfast tea, because it is an invigorating brew to enjoy in the
morning. Although Assam tea is cultivated in the East, it immediately became a big hit once it
was introduced to the West. Some people enjoy drinking Assam tea straight, but others feel it is
best with a little bit of milk and sugar added. It has been known to go perfectly with sweets as
well as more pungent foods like cheese.
Chamomile tea has a light, pleasant taste that some people have described as a mix between
flowers, herbs, and apples. Yet, it is the potent health benefits of the tea that cause most people to
buy it. For starters, it is the best tea to have at the end of a long day when you are looking to
relax. In fact, it has been used as a cure for insomnia for hundreds of years. In ancient times, it
was also used by the Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians to help wounds heal faster. Chamomile has
anti-inflammation properties, so it can also help to clear up skin issues such as allergies and acne
as well.
So the next time you are sitting down for afternoon tea, be sure to have a close look at the
menu. You may even discover a new variety that becomes your favourite.

Durable Ceramic Beauty
Inside an art and craft workshop, a young woman sits in front of a pottery wheel. The
machine contains a large lump of clay which she molds into the shape of an elaborate bowl.
Later, when she is satisfied with its appearance, it will be baked in an oven until it solidifies.
Then she adds decorative paints to add some style. In the end, this ceramic pot will be both a
handy utility for eating as well as a work of art.
Humans have been working with ceramics for about 30,000 years, making it one of the oldest
industries on the planet. In ancient times, ceramics enabled humans to make containers to store
food and drinks, as well as bricks for buildings, but as time went on, people found other uses for
this prehistoric technology. Techniques were added to give these products more eye-catching
designs. Objects were often coated with glaze, so they would be smoother and more pleasant to
touch. This helped to transform these practical items into works of art. People would pay large
amounts of money for pieces of ceramic art and use them to decorate their homes.
In modern times, architects and inventors discovered that ceramic offered the perfect balance
between beauty and durability, and started using it in their products as well. Ceramics have found
a home in the world of automobiles as they are used to produce several products. They are often
used to make brake discs, engines, and other parts because ceramics are able to withstand
extremely hot temperatures. Ceramics also play a part in the world of medicine, as their flexibility
and strength are perfect for creating sturdy dental implants. Other doctors are using them to
replace damaged bones because they are able to bond with tissues in the body without causing
adverse reactions. In many kitchens today, you will also find ceramic knives. Once they are
produced, the hard edges of these blades rarely need to be sharpened. Unlike metal knives, they
won’t rust when exposed to difficult conditions.
Ceramics also help to make it possible for humans to travel into space. Space shuttles are
designed with ceramic tiles because they are one of the few materials that can stand the extreme
heat when reentering the Earth’s atmosphere, plus they don’t wear out easily. With so many
useful applications, it is hard to deny that ceramic technology is out of this world.
36. What does the first paragraph describe?
A. An artist working with ceramic
B. Someone using a ceramic product
C. The first person who discovered ceramics
D. Someone who sells ceramics for a living

Offshore whales were only recently discovered in 1988. They prefer to swim farther away from
land than the others and several pods may come together to form groups as large as 200 whales.
Although these orca groups may seem similar to the naked eye, they are extremely different in
many ways, and scientists believe they haven’t interbred in thousands of years. Researchers also
acknowledge that their knowledge of orcas is limited, and even more groups may exist.
Male orcas have an average lifespan of about 30 years, while the average age for females is
50. However, there have been cases of females living up to 90 years. Yet when kept in captivity
at marine entertainment parks, their life expectancies drop dramatically. In fact, it seems that the
biggest threat to orcas these days is humans. Between the practices of hunting orcas, polluting
their environments, and capturing them for entertainment purposes, we are making it very
difficult for them to survive. Perhaps the killer whales aren’t the real killer after all.
43. Where did the name “killer whale” come from?
A. The whales often killed each other.
B. The whales planned their attacks skillfully.
C. The whales would often try to sink ships.
D. The whales are one of a few fish that kill humans.
44. What can be said about the different types of killer whales?
A. They behave in different manners.
B. They are quite similar in every way.
C. They frequently mate with one another.
D. They often have wars against each other.
45. All of the following are true about orcas EXCEPT that_________.
A. they are very quite good at hunting
B. no other creatures hunt them for food
C. they are the largest creatures on the Earth
D. there may be other types of orcas that we don’t know
46. What of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The orca groups may have different behaviours.
B. There is nearly nothing that scientists don’t know about orcas.
C. The average lifespan of orcas is the same as that of humans.
D. Water pollution is the biggest threat to orcas.
47. Offshore whales________.
A. stay close to the land B. like to stay in small groups
C. were unknown until recently D. aren’t really whales at all
48. What happens when whales are kept by humans?
A. They die sooner. B. They get stronger.
C. They stop eating foo. D. They live longer lives.
49. What does the sentence “Although these orca groups may seem similar to the naked eye,
they are extremely different in many ways ” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. They appear in various ways in front of naked eyes.
B. Their huge size makes it difficult to follow them.

Not everyone is sold on crowdsourcing, though. In many cases, it may be better to rely on the
opinion of a few specialized professionals than information from a crowd. For instance, it makes
more sense to trust the opinion of one top doctor than to take the advice of 1.000 random people
regarding a health issue. Another criticism is the low wage that crowdworkers usually receive.
Since crowdworkers are freelancers and not employees, they can be paid less than minimum
wage. Whether you love or hate crowdsourcing, it appears to be here to stay. So before you make
any financial judgements, consider following the crowd and give crowdsourcing a try.

D. hospitals can practically apply the method of crowdsourcing in consulting patients
45. Which of the following is NOT a good situation to use crowdsourcing?
A. A company needs to get ideas for a new sneaker.
B. A business is looking to understand why people like its products.

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 from 36 to 42.
Future Cures for a Better Future
We all wish we could stay forever young, maintaining perfect health throughout our lives.
Unfortunately, this is just a pipe dream. In reality, our bodies start to fall apart as we age. Due to
genetic weaknesses, neglecting our bodies, and reckless actions, people often find themselves
facing a host of issues. Currently, many of these problems can’t be cured by modern medicine.
Yet there is hope in the future that remedies will be developed to eliminate these conditions once
and for all.
Once disease which prevents people from enjoying their golden years is Alzheimer’s. It is a
brain condition which causes sufferers to slowly lose their memory and intellectual capabilities,
and nearly 25 million people are affected by it. Although most of its victims get sick when they
are senior citizens, about 5 percent start to show some effects when they are in their 40s or 50s.
Within the next five to seven years, medicines should hit the market which greatly reduce the
effects of Alzheimer’s, and may even cure it completely. In addition, researchers are working on
a vaccine that could prevent people from getting it in the first place.
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases on the Earth. It can strike any organ or quickly spread
throughout the body. Despite pumping millions of dollars into cancer research, it has proved to be
a difficult disease to defeat. However, scientists are optimistic that they can turn it into a
manageable condition within the next decade using a new approach. Doctors envision working
with individuals’ DNA to develop more personalized treatments. Although this may not provide a
complete cure, it should allow them to extend patients’ lives for many years.
Although it is not a disease, baldness is something that many men dread. Although whether
we lose hair is based primarily on genetics, many men feel that they did something wrong to
cause it. As a result, men have been tricked with pills and routines that promise to cure baldness
but actually do nothing at all. As it looks, there may be some effective treatments on the horizon.
One involves cloning healthy hair follicles to ensure that men maintain a healthy head of hair.
Another involves reawakening old hair follicles that have stop functioning. In the meantime,
shaved heads are in style, so men should realize that they have other options.
36. Which of the following people would be most likely to get Alzheimer’s disease?
A. A teenager with a bad memory

In terms of temperatures, both climates are extremely cold but the North Pole is a bit warmer
than the South. The lowest temperature ever on our planet, minus 89.6 degrees Celsius was
recorded at a Russian base in the South Pole. Typically, temperatures in the South Pole are minus
49 degrees Celsius compared to minus 34 degrees Celsius at the North Pole.
The two Poles provide very different, yet important, natural resources that humans can benefit
from. It is believed that nearly half of the Earth’s remaining oil supply is sitting under layers of
ice in the North Pole. As a result, both Russians and Americans have sent teams to the area to
break through the ice and attempt to tap into this source. Meanwhile, the South Pole contains 90
percent of all ice on the Earth, which accounts for 75 percent of all freshwater reserves. In the
future, governments may attempt to melt these icebergs to provide additional water for their
citizens.
From cute cartoons and clever advertisements, people often assume that popular cold-climate
creatures share the same habitat. However, two of the most famous creatures, penguins and polar
bears, would never be found together, except at the zoo. Polar bears are only found in the
Northern hemisphere, while penguins are only located in the South. This reality has probably
saved those cuddly little creatures from becoming snacks for those powerful and enormous
predators.
43. What do the North and South Poles have in common?
A. They are located in the same area.
B. Their populations are the same.
C. They aren’t desirable places to stay.
D. They offer residents a wonderful opportunity.
44. The weather in the North Pole is_________than the weather in the South Pole.

D. Resources for bettering computers.
47. All of the following are true about the Poles EXCEPT that_________.
A. the average temperatures at the North Pole is higher than those at the South Pole
B. half of the Earth’s oil supply is found under layers of ice in the North Pole
C. part of the North Pole belongs to several countries in that region
D. the South Pole is the biggest freshwater reserve in the world
48. What is true about penguins and polar bears?

sea every year by freight ships. In other cases, the littering is more deliberate, such as the moment
when people toss things into the water from boats or land.
One of the most startling discoveries of recent years was an area which is now dubbed the
Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It is a large collection of marine debris that collected in the North
Pacific Ocean. Although the patch is quite massive, it is undetectable from satellites in space
because most of the rubbish is underneath the surface. It was discovered in 1997 by a man who
happened to spot it while returning home from a sailing race. The patch formed as a result of
rubbish being carried by currents and then getting trapped in the area.
Thankfully, the problem of ocean garbage is not being ignore. Organizations like the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) are taking action. It has funded 76 projects that
take an aggressive approach to eliminating sea rubbish. Since 2006, it has removed 3,814 metric
tons of marine debris from oceans. Methods of rubbish removal include using machines that skim
the surface of ocean waters and remove any drifting materials found. In addition, special traps are
set by the mouths of rivers to snatch rubbish before it reaches the sea. If everyone does their part,
sea rubbish seems like an issue that can be resolved.
43. Where is most of the sea rubbish found?
A. At the bottom of the ocean B. Floating on top of the water
C. Close to the mouth of rivers D. In the middle of the ocean
44. The word “accumulation” in paragraph 2 refers to_________.

46. Which of the following statements about pollution in oceans is correct?
A. Nearly all of it is done purposely.
B. Most people aren’t aware they are littering.
C. Researchers have no clue where it comes from.
D. Some people mean to cause pollution while others don’t.
47. Which of the following is NOT true about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?
A. It was discovered accidentally in 1997 by a local man.
B. It contains a large number of marine debris.
C. It formed as a result of marine currents and rubbish accumulation
D. It cannot be detected by satellite in space
48. All of the following are activities carried out by NOAA EXCEPT that_________.

Saving the Rainforests
One of the hottest topics related to the environment is rainforests. Despite always being
mentioned in the news, many people don’t know very much about these areas or understand why
they are so important. The name “rainforest” actually does a pretty good job of describing what
they are — tall forests that receive high amounts of precipitation. In a year, rainforests get
between 250 to 450 centimetres of precipitation. There are two types of rainforests: tropical
rainforests and temperate rainforests. Tropical rainforests are more plentiful and are located in
warmer climates, while temperate rainforests are found in places where the weather is a bit
milder. In terms of location, rainforests can be found on every continent with the exception of
Antarctica. Although they only cover 6 percent of the Earth, over 50 percent of the Earth’s animal
and plant species can be found there. Many biologists estimate that there are possibly millions of
additional species present there that have yet to be discovered and classified.
Over the years, rainforests have gained the nickname “the world’s pharmacy” because more
than 25 percent of natural medicines were found there. Many herbs that are used to make
Trang 3
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 45
medicines can only be found in rainforests. Rainforests are also home to several tribes that have
lived off the land for thousands of years. During this time, they have survived by hunting animals
and gathering fruits and vegetables. They also possess tremendous knowledge when it comes to
crafting and applying medicines made from herbs and plants. Over time, their unique way of life
has declined as they have come in contact with modem civilization.
Despite their numerous benefits, rainforest have been disappearing at a rapid speed. As the
Earth’s population continues to expand, developers have been cutting down their trees to create
new lands for farming or urban projects. This could have unfortunate long-term effects on our
planet. If deforestation continues at this rate, it is possible that a quarter of all species on the Earth
may become extinct in the next 50 years. As it stands, plenty of damage has already occurred.
West Africa has had 90 percent of its rainforests destroyed, while the island nation of Madagascar
has eliminated 66 percent of its original rainforests as well. As a result, many charities have
sprung up with the goal of purchasing and protecting the remaining rainforests. With their help,
hopefully we can stop the destruction of one of the planet’s most vital assets.
43. What can we assume there are no rainforests in Antarctica?
A. The weather is too cold there.
B. They have already all been cut down.
C. There are no animals in this place.
D. There are already too many rainforest in other countries.
44. According to the passage, what did biologists conclude about rainforests?
A. Soon they will all be destroyed.
B. They are not as important as some believe.
C. They have found all of the species living there.
D. There are likely creatures there that humans haven’t studied.
45. Which of the following is NOT the feature of rainforests?
A. There are two types of rainforests.
B. They account for large amounts of the Earth’s surface.
C. They receive high amounts of precipitation.
D. They can be found in Europe and North America.

The Magical Mind of Leonardo Da Vinci
When someone shows great skills in a certain field, we call them a genius. In particular, the
term is most associated with two people. One is the famed scientist Albert Einstein, and the other
is Leonardo Da Vinci. However, unlike Einstein, whose achievements were essentially all related
to science, Leonardo Da Vinci was a master at art, architecture, invention, and several other
areas.
Da Vinci was born in Italy in 1452. He took to art at an early age and at age 14, he went to
study as an apprentice in Florence under the artist Verrocchio. For the next six years, Da Vinci
picked up drawing, carpentry, sculpting, and many other techniques from his master and his
talent was evident. In fact, Da Vinci was such a good painter that his talent frustrated his master.
Eventually, Verrocchio was so frustrated by his student’s genius that he stopped painting
altogether. By the age of 20, Da Vinci was considered a master artist and set up his own
workshop. It was there that Da Vinci was approached to create a painting for the Duke of Milan.
The Duke was so impressed by his work that he would bring him under his service. In addition to
creating paintings and sculptures, the Duke also had him design innovative buildings, machines,
and weapons. Da Vinci would draw up plans for several futuristic inventions including tanks,
submarines, and flying machines. He also mastered the art of drawing every muscle and detail of
the human body. The only criticism one could make of Da Vinci is that his brilliant mind jumped
so quickly from subject to subject that he rarely completed the works he started. The ones he did
finish were often spectacular masterpieces,
such as his paintings The Last Supper and the timeless Mona Lisa. The latter. which is on
display at the Louvre in Paris, is arguably the most famous painting of all times because of its
incredible detail and realism.
Although Da Vinci died in 1519, his effect on the art world has never waned. He helped coin
Trang 8
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 46
the term “Renaissance man” which refers to someone who excels in many different areas.
Perhaps the greatest present Da Vinci left behind was his journals. Admirers and students of his
work can examine 13,000 pages of his notes, drawings, and ideas to better understand what made
this genius tick.
36. How is Einstein different from Da Vinci?
A. He was much more intelligent.
B. He was a slightly better painter
C. He lived many years before Da Vinci.
D. He mainly specialized in one subject.
37. Which of the following best describes Da Vinci’s plans while working for the Duke of
Milan?
A. They were ahead of their time.
B. They were common and predictable.
C. They were all related to painting.
D. They were easily put into action.
38. The only weak point of Da Vinci might be that________.
A. he made his master, Verrocchio, stop painting
B. he excelled in many subjects of arts
C. his journals were too difficult for people to understand
D. he covered too many fields during his lifetime
39. In paragraph 2, what does the phrase “The latter'' refer to?
A. Da Vinci’s paintings B. Mona Lisa
C. The Last Supper D. The final years of Da Vinci’s career
40. What could replace the word “-waned” in paragraph 3?
A. increased B. decreased
C. stayed the same D. made people angry
41. All of the following are what Da Vinci did in his life EXCEPT that
A. he painted some masterpieces
B. he put most of his plans into practice
C. he drew up plans for futuristic inventions
D. he was a master at architecture
42. What does the passage say about Da Vinci’s journals in paragraph 3?
A. Only thirteen of them still exist today.
B. They prove that anyone can be an artist if they don’t give up.
C. People can read them to try and understand how he thought.
D. They probably won’t teach his fans anything they don’t already know.

The Greatest Light Show on the Earth
If you are a fan of amazing visual displays, planetariums around the world offer some
Trang 8
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUÓC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 46
entertaining laser-light shows that are often accompanied by popular music. Yet if you want to
see the world’s greatest light show, you won’t be able to catch it indoors. Instead, you will have
to head to one of the Poles. In certain spots, you will be treated to colourful streaks of light
dancing across the sky. This incredible display is the aurora borealis, and every year people from
all corners of the globe flock to witness its wonders firsthand.
The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, got its official name in 1621. The name combines
the name of the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora, and the Roman god of the north wind,
Boreas. In ancient times, the aurora completely baffled people’s minds, as science was far more
primitive than it is today. Nevertheless, they created many myths to explain them. The Vikings
believed the lights were the reflection of dead maidens. The Scots thought they were supernatural
beings battling in heaven. Meanwhile, Eskimos thought that the lights were dead souls, and when
the colours changed, it was their attempt to contact living friends and relatives.
It was not until 2008 that a team of scientists from ULCA finally concluded with certainty
what the true cause of these dancing light is. The process begins when solar winds carry charged
particles from the Sun through space and into the Earth's atmosphere. When these charged
particles enter the Earth’s atmosphere, they are magnetically attracted to the Earth’s poles.
During their journey to these points, they come in contact with nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the
sky. These collisions are what cause the aurora. The heights at which the collisions occur
determine the colours of the individual lights. For example, when the solar winds collide with
nitrogen at least than 96 kilometres above the Earth's surface, the lights will be blue. If the same
collision occurs above 96 kilometres, however, the light will be purple. Or, if the solar wind
particles collide with oxygen, the colours produced will be either red or green. However, merely
understanding how the aurora works does not do this phenomena justice. To truly appreciate the
full splendor of the aurora, you will have to see this Natural Wonder of the World in person.
43. Which of the following statements about the Aurora Borealis is true?
A. It occurs indoors.
B. It is a popular tourist attraction.
C. It can be seen everywhere on the Earth.
D. It doesn’t actually exist.
44. Where does the name “Aurora Borealis” come from?
A. An old myth B. An ancient invention
C. A Scottish story D. A discovery at UCLA
45. According to the passage, what did the Viking and Eskimo have in common?
A. They thought the lights brought good luck.
B. They thought the lights were a sign of war.
C. They thought the lights represented young women.
D. They thought the lights were people who died.
46. The word “baffled” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.

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 from 36 to 42.
Danger!
If you are walking through the woods and you see a bear, you know that you are in danger.
The same is true if you see a snake or a beehive. However, these aren’t the only dangerous things
in nature. When you are having a good time outside, you also need to be careful of plants.
In some ways, plants are more dangerous than animals. This is because dangerous plants
often look normal. Sometimes they even look pretty. If you try to touch one of these nice-looking
plants, you could be in a lot of trouble.
Take the angel’s trumpet flower, for example. This beautiful white flower is full of poison. A
person who touches it can get headaches, confusion, and a very fast heartbeat. Very often, the
poison can kill you. All parts of the angel’s trumpets are poisonous, but the most dangerous parts
are the seeds and leaves.
Here is another dangerous and somewhat creepy plant: doll’s eyes. This plant got its name
because its berries look just like doll’s eyes. The berries from these plants can stop a person’s
heart. In fact, most berries that you see in nature are poisonous. You should never eat wild berries
that you find when you are outside.
Some plants can sting you. Stinging needles don’t look dangerous, but they have many tiny
hairs on them. If you touch a stinging needle, those hairs will put a weak poison onto your skin.
The poison won’t kill you, but it will make your skin itch for a while and it might drive you
crazy.
One of the more common dangerous plants is poison ivy. This plant produces a clear liquid that
will cause all kinds of problems to anyone who touches it. Most people who touch poison ivy get
a red and very painful rash on their skin. The rash often itches very badly, and sometimes it
creates large blisters. If you see a green plant that has three leaves growing from every branch,
stay away from it. It could be poison ivy.
36. What do the first two sentences of the second paragraph mean?
A. Some plants look dangerous, but they are safe.

related stress. Students are taught to breathe slowly and deeply while concentrating on the present
moment and letting go of the past. The challenging postures help to balance the negative effects
people experience from sitting in chairs all day. The poses also help people to regain flexibility
and improve circulation, which is particularly useful to the elderly.
As yoga became commercialized in the West, many new branches were formed. Ashtanga
yoga moves at a fairly quick pace, flowing from pose to pose. Power yoga, on the other hand,
offers workouts that are designed to increase strength. Another popular style, hot yoga, has
students practise in hot environments to help them burn more calories. If you are thinking of
studying yoga, try them all and let your heart decide which one is best for you.

Plants that Can Help You
We have already talked about some dangerous plants, but we don’t want to give anyone the
wrong idea. Please don’t think that most plants are dangerous.
The truth is that although some plants can hurt you, most are completely harmless. In fact,
there are plenty of plants that are actually very useful to humans.
That is why plants are so popular in Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine has been using
plants for at least 4,800 years. One of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine is ginseng.
Doctors of Chinese medicine believe that ginseng can help your lungs, clean your blood, and do
many other things. Ginseng is also a source of energy. In fact, many modem energy drinks that
you see in stores contain ginseng.
In some parts of the US, there is a plant called lady fem. This is the plant you need if you
have been stung by a bee, or if you have got a small bum or a cut. Lady ferns are great for making
your skin feel better. All you have to do is roll one of its leaves ad crush it in your hands. The
juices inside the leaf will help your skin feel better.
If you are ever hiking in Europe, look for a flower called tansy. This yellow flower is a
natural insect repellent. You just rub it on your skin, and insects will leave you alone.
Sage is one of the most useful plants in the world. Because it has so many uses, it is also quite
valuable. Human beings have been using sage for a very long time. In Europe, before
refrigerators existed, people often used sage to preserve food. Over the years, people have used
sage to fight all kinds of health problems. Sage has been used to treat colds, stop muscle
problems, and reduce swelling. There are all kinds of other things that people have used sage for.
In fact, sage is so useful that it comes from the Latin word “salvere” which means “to be saved”.
36. Which of the following is true about ginseng?
A. It is very important in Chinese medicine.
B. Chinese medicine doctors don’t use it anymore.
C. It can make you very sleepy.
D. It is not in any modern drinks.
37. What can lady ferns do?
A. Help your lungs B. Make insects leave you alone
C. Purify your blood D. Help your skin feel better

limbs in the famous blockbuster film. The
Bebionic3 can perform a multitude of tasks including writing, tying a shoelace, lifting heavy
objects, and even pouring a beer. Wearers simply push a button on the base of the arm and the
Bebionic3 will work its magic.
In September 2013, scientists took another giant leap forward when they successfully fitted a
patient with an artificial leg that can be controlled by thought. Two of the patient’s nerves were
attached to his hamstring muscle. These nerves then interact with sensors inside the artificial leg.
Sensors will then transmit these messages to a computer which will follow through on his
instructions. Therefore, if the patient wants to stretch out his leg, the computer will understand
this command and send a message to the limb and instruct it to do so. If artificial limb technology
keeps advancing like this, losing a limb may not be such a big deal.

fish eggs across long distances to assist fertilization, in addition to transporting key nutrients.
Another category of currents is ocean currents. These currents occur near the top of the water,
and are mainly powered by the wind. One example of these is coastal currents, which are those
beachgoers encounter when going for a swim. One of the strongest and most well-known currents
is the Gulf Stream, which brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to Western
Europe. Meanwhile, Deep Ocean currents are a powerful force in the depths of oceans. The
strongest of these has been nicknamed the global conveyor belt, and it moves much slower than
surface currents. Although we can’t see it in operation, it’s about 16 times as powerful as all the
earth’s rivers put together. As the global conveyor belt pushes water around the planet, it carries
nutrition and carbon dioxide to places that truly need them. In the end, although there are several
currents working on oceans simultaneously, they each seem to perform a necessary function that
creates balance for life in the sea.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Say Sayonara to Sushi?
There are few meals as nutritious as a plate of fresh fish. Whether eaten steamed or raw, fish
provides our bodies with healthy fats and it tastes great, too. Yet for years, the fishing industry
has practised overfishing, depleting the world’s oceans. It has been estimated that 85 percent of
stocks worldwide have been diminished to a dangerous level. Statistics show that the average
person consumes more than four times as much fish as someone from the 1950s. As the world’s
population grows and more people are able to afford pricier foods, the problem will likely get
worse.
In truth, knowledge of the shortage of fish is not something new. Since the late 1980s, despite
increased technology and a greater demand for fish, the total global catch has not increased.
Eager to make a buck, some fishermen have resorted to illegal tactics to catch more fish and
increase their income. They will violate regulations by fishing in waters that are supposed to be
off-limits. To make matters worse, they often use mile-long drift nets which trap and kill large
numbers of unwanted marine life for no reason at all. These practices only serve to destroy fishes’
habitats and speed up the rate of population decline.
As a result of dwindling fish supplies, many nations are turning to farmed fish. About half of
the fish sold today is derived from this practice. Supporters point out its efficiency and that it is
more feasible to support populations in this manner than with land animals. However, there are
still many hurdles to overcome. Many of the current farm fisheries are poorly run by their
owners. Poor practices can lead to marine pollution, as waters can be filled with fish manure and
extra feed that is not consumed. Some farmed fish have limited space, which causes disease. This
in turn can lead to health issues for the people who consume the fish.
Still, some regard fish farming as the way of the future. They suggest that with a few
modifications, it would be possible to meet the growing demand for fish. Others have suggested
more drastic measures, such as placing a ten-year ban on capturing some species, to deal with the
shortage. These people argue that a decade would provide sufficient time for the fish population
to replenish itself back to healthy levels. Hopefully, nations can come together and agree upon an
effective course of action before it is too late.

When it rains heavily and water levels rise, they absorb the excess water. This prevents runoff
from entering streams and keeping them from overflowing. Then, when water levels become low
in the future, they will release it. In many cases, wetlands offer a much more affordable solutions
than dams. However, it’s important to note that wetlands, like dams, don’t eliminate all dangers
from flooding. In cases of extremely heavy rainfall, wetlands can fill up and any additional water
will start to run off.
Wetlands can also play a part in water purification. Agricultural practices, urban runoff, and
sewage waste are a major cause of water pollution. Wetlands contain plants and organisms that
can reduce this pollution by filtering out unwanted substances such as chemicals, and
decomposing matter, as well as sediment.
Wetlands have additional benefits for the environment as well. They can help to feed nearby
fish populations by releasing vegetative matter to rivers. Also,
many amphibians use wetlands as breeding grounds because it provides places for foraging and
the shallow water they require for reproduction. Some birds also use wetlands for migration, as
they can settle in trees and then raid the wetland’s waters for fish when they’re hungry. Although
wetlands may not look pretty, it’s clear that they are capable of doing the dirty work required to
keep our planet clean and ensure that the circle of life remains unbroken.
43. What does the first paragraph suggest about wetlands?
A. They are quite difficult to locate.
B. They are popular with tourists.
C. They are usually quite ugly.
D. They don’t contain any animals.

A. Birds like to stay at wetlands for the entire year.
B. Birds aren’t able to catch a lot of food at wetlands.
C. Birds use wetlands because they can reproduce in the water.
D. Wetlands provide a place to stay and a nice food supply for birds.
47. All of the following are benefits of wetlands EXCEPT that________.
A. they can prevent floods
B. they are important to solve of water pollution
C. they are good places for tourists
D. they offer habitats to several species
48. According to the passage, which statement is true?
