We can develop alternative sources of energy, and unless we try we’ll never succeed. Instead of
burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economical uses of electricity, because
electricity can be produced from any sources of energy. If we didn’t waste so much energy, our
resources would last longer. We can save more energy by conservation than we can produce for the
same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power, tidal power, hydroelectric plants …
our fossil fuels will run out and we’ll all freeze or starve to death. Several countries are spending

last forever. We won’t really survive unless we start working on cleaner and safer sources of energy.

The La Tomatina is a festival held on a Wednesday towards the end of August in the town of
Buñol in the Valencia region in Spain. The week long festival includes music, parades, dancing, and
fireworks.
About 30,000 people come to the tomato fight, while Buñol population is only 9,000. There are
not many accommodations for people who come to La Tomatina, so many participants stay in
Valencia and travel by bus or train to Buñol, about 38 km outside the city.
Many trucks transport tomatoes into the center of tile town, Plaza del Pueblo. The tomatoes
come from Extremadura, where they are less expensive. The signal for the beginning of the fight is
firing of the cannon, and the chaos begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every man for
himself. People who partake in this event are strongly encouraged to wear protective safety goggles
and gloves. In addition, they must squash the tomatoes before throwing for safety precautions.
Another rule is that no one is allowed to bring into this fight anything that may lead to a more serious
fight, such as a glass bottle. People must also stay away from trucks and must not tear someone else's
clothing. Somewhere between an hour and two hours, the fighting ends and the cannon is fired once
more to signal the end. At this point no more tomatoes can be thrown. The cleaning process involves
the use of fire trucks to spray down the streets, with water provided from a Roman waterway. People
find water to wash themselves, most likely at the Buñol River.

Read the passage below carefully and choose the best option A, B, C, or D.
On average, more than 100,000 wildfires, also called wildland fires or forest fires, destroy two
million hectares of land in the U.S. every year. A wildfire moves at speeds of about 20 kilometers an
hour and can last for weeks, consuming everything - trees, brush, homes, and humans - in its path.
There are three conditions for a wildfire to bum: fuel, oxygen, and a heat source. Fuel includes
trees, grasses, bushes, and even homes. Oxygen is necessary for a fire to bum. Heat sources help start
the wildfire. Although most wildfires are started by people, natural factors like lightning, hot winds,
and even tile sun can all provide enough heat to start a wildfire.
Firefighters fight wildfires by removing the conditions for a wildfire to bum. Traditional
methods include using water and fire retardants to put out the fires. Firefighters also fight wildfires
with "controlled burning". These controlled forest fires remove small trees, bushes, and ground litter
from a forest. This will deprive a wildfire of fuel and prevent future forest fires.
Although often harmful and destructive to humans, wildfires play an important role in nature.
Even healthy forests contain dead trees and decaying plant matter. When a fire turns them to ashes,
nutrients return to the soil. They also remove sick plants and harmful insects from a forest. And by
burning through thick leaves and branches, wildfires allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, making it
possible for a new generation of trees to grow.
(Adapted from https://www.nationalgeographic.com and https://science.howstuffworks.com)

A. create fuel for a wildfire B. provide a wildfire with fuel
C. save fuel for a wildfire D. take away fuel from a wildfire

A. They bum all leaves and branches. B. They bum sick plants and harmful insects.
C. They burn a new generation of trees. D. They bum nutrients in file soil to ashes.

II. Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
You probably hear a lot about the environment. But do you really worry about it? Do you help to save the
Earth? Cleaning a planet is not a task for only one person. People everywhere have to get involved and
understand this is our world. If we pass the world about the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling, the
destiny of this planet can change.
Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment. Did you switch off the
water while brushing your teeth in the morning? You should do it! Did you walk to school or did you use
public transportation?
Reusing is another way of being environmentally friendly. Try to find ways to use things again! Take cloth
sacks when you go shopping instead of taking home newspaper or plastic bags. You should use cloth sacks
again and again. You have to save some trees! Shoe boxes and margarine containers can be used to store things
or become fun art projects. Use your imagination!
 You can also recycle in your home or even at school. Many communities have recycling centers for
newspapers, batteries and a variety of glass and plastics. These can be made into new products.
Câu 36: What is the most environmentally friendly way to save the Earth?
A. The involvement of people everywhere in this planet.
B. Recycling things in your home or at school.
C. Reusing things instead of buying or using new ones.
D. Reducing the amount of waste produced.

HOW TO SAVE PETROL AND THE ENVIRONMENT
We are all aware of the need to protect the environment but sometimes it's difficult for us to do the
right thing. For example, if you're a motorist, the convenience of jumping in the car to go somewhere
is balanced against the knowledge of how harmful each journey can be. But did you know that making
a few simple changes to your driving habits will not only do less damage to our world but will also
save you money and could even be good for your health?
Do you really need to take the car?
Try making more use of public transport. If the service is frequent and reliable, you'll soon get used to
using buses and trains. In fact, for shorter journeys, why not take the opportunity to get into shape and
go on foot?
Share the journey
How often do you see cars with just one occupant and the driver is making the same journey as others
living nearby? Why not car share and half the cost of the journey? There are several websites where
people can swap details and make arrangements to meet up.
Change your habits
When you must use the car, plan your journey so you can go to all the places you need to visit instead
of taking the car out again and again. If you get caught in a traffic jam, switch off the engine when
you're stationary for a long time. Try not to brake too sharply or accelerate too quickly as this will lead
to you using up more fuel. On cold mornings, don't warm up the engine before you start your journey
and when you next put fuel in your car, think about whether you really need to fill up the tank. All that
extra weight will put more pressure on the engine.
Servicing
Make sure you carry out basic maintenance like checking the tire pressure regularly. Finally, keep
your car regularly serviced so that it runs as efficiently as possible.
Steps like this will save you money and help you do your bit to protect the environment.
1. Changing the way you drive has more than one benefit.
2. You should walk when going somewhere nearby.
3. If you travel with someone else, it will save you money.
4. You should plan to make lots of short journeys rather than one long journey.
III. Use the correct form of the word given in each sentence. Write your answer on the answer
sheet. (1.0 point)
1. In 1978, a young pilot and his plane _____ after sighting a UFO, and they can never be found
again. (APPEAR)
2. When coming to New Zealand, Albert was impressed by the beauty of the country and the _____ of
its people. (FRIENDLY)
3. Although there are many _____ throughout the year, Tet is the most important festival for
Vietnamese people. (CELEBRATE)
4. The advantage of living in the countryside is that the air is _____. (POLLUTE)
IV. Use the correct tense or form of the verb given. Write your answer on the answer sheet. (2.0
points)
1. We are very worried that poisonous gases (pump) _____ into the atmosphere every day.
2. If we use energy-saving bulbs, we (save) _____ a lot of money.
3. While Henry (walk) _____ in the mountain, he saw a bear.
4. I wish I (not, be) _____ an only child. It would be great to have brothers and sisters.
5. The librarian asked us (not, make) _____ so much noise.
6. John (have) _____ this bike since his eleventh birthday.
7. Tom spent three months (learn) _____ to play the piano.
8. The flowers (wrap) _____ in yellow paper are 5 dollars.
V. Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first one. Write your
answer on the answer sheet. (2.5 points)
1. The last time it snowed here was six years ago.
 It hasn’t _________________________________________________.

One of the most devastating forces on Earth is a hurricane. A hurricane begins as a tropical storm. The
storm winds blow in circles around a center, called the "eye." Gradually, the winds get stronger and
stronger. A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when the winds are 120 kilometers per hour or more.
The word "hurricane" comes from Huracan, an evil god of a Central American Indian tribe. In other
parts of the world, hurricanes are known by different names. In East Asia, they are usually called
typhoons, from the Chinese tai-feng, meaning "great wind." In Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and
Australia, they are known as cyclones. Finally, in the Philippines, they are called baguios.
Few things in nature have as much power as hurricanes. They can destroy coastal areas with heavy
rains and winds of 250 kilometers per hour or more. Sometimes a hurricane causes the ocean to flood
onto land in an event called a storm surge. The total power of a hurricane may be equal to 10,000
nuclear bombs.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
best answer to each of the questions from 34 to 38.
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and
garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have
become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains
a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the
world. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the
lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the government do not have the power to enforce
them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the
world's water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16
countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world
was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is
now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.
Question 34: According to the writer, one environmental problem in the world today is ________
A. safe water shortage B. pools of poison
C. industrial pollution D. population explosion
Question 35: What is the serious problem of Lake Baikal in Russia?
A. It has 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world.
B. It is one of the largest lakes that contains a variety of animals and plants.
C. It is polluted by massive volumes of industrial wastes discharged into it.
D. It is the only lake in Russia whose source of water is not drinkable.
Question 36: What does the word "them" in the passage refer to?
A. laws B. the government C. animals D. plants
Question 37: How many countries throw industrial wastes into the Mediterranean Sea regularly
A. nearly 16 B. exactly 16 C. over 16 D. more than 16
Question 38: What is the message to the readers?
A. We should take action to protect our water sources.
B. We should take all water sources into account.
C. We should limit the use of water sources.
D. We should encourage people to use safe water.

Television and Kids
Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young children learn the
letters of the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures, and world events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is a link
between watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For another thing, many
TV shows are violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause kids to be more fearful. And of
course, more time in front of the TV means less time to study. Too much TV may also be the cause of
lower grades. Experts do not agree on the solution to these problems. Some say that kids should watch
only educational programs; others say kids should watch no TV at all. And others suggest teaching
them to watch TV as occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.
36. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Benefits of kids' TV shows B. Effects of television on kids
C. Why kids love TV D. Why kids shouldn't watch TV
37. According to the passage, watching a lot of TV may
A. cause weight problems in children B. cause children to be more famous
C. cause children to get better grades D. cause students to study more
38. The word "them" in paragraph 3 refers to
A. programs B. experts C. kids D. problems
39. The word "occasional" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. very often B. not very often C. always D. everyday
40. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. TV is always bad for children. B. TV is only good for entertainment.
C. Kids should watch only educational shows. D. Television has some benefits along with problems.
