Computing is now at the same stage as printing was when the first printing presses
were used. Before printing presses were invented, only rich people like kings and dukes
could afford to buy books. Often these people were unable to read and hadn’t enough
time to learn. In any case, the books were so big that it was difficult for anyone to relax
24
with a book as we do today. They wanted booked because they were expensive and there
was something magical about them. Only a few people were able to write, and it took an
extremely long time to write a book. Monks and other people who could write said
ordinary people could not learn to read.
The position with computers is very similar today. A few years ago, computers were
very large and expensive. Business managers and rich people ordered them but they
didn’t know how to use them. In many countries, however, the situation has now
completely changed. Lots of people not only own microcomputer but also know how to
use them.

what I love most.

1/ How do industry and transport cause pollution?

2/ How can I help?
3/ What is the pollution?
4/ How can industry help?
5/ What cause pollution?
6/ What about air pollution?
A. ___ Pollution is the poisoning of the land, sea and air.

B. ___ Mainly industry and transport. If you go to any city, you will see too many factories, too
many cars with not enough people in them, and not enough public transport.
C. ___ Factories and vehicles produce waste which goes into the air and rivers and spreads all
over the land. Poisons in the waste build up over the years and harm trees, plants, animals, and
people.
D. ___ Waste gases build up in the air, and dissolve into raindrops, forming a weak acid. This
"acid rain" can fall far away from the country which produced it, killing trees in forests and fish in
lakes and rivers.
E. ___ If companies clean their waste gases before releasing them into the atmosphere, there'll
be much less air pollution and no acid rain. But this can be expensive and it needs all the world's
companies to do it.
F. ___ Cars pollute the atmosphere. Walk, cycle and use public transport as much as possible.
Only use your car when you really need to, and use unleaded petrol if you can - lead is one of the

Benjamin Franklin
59
Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived
through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after it began, and dying
ten years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into
a nation, and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some training as a
printer’s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first publication, the
Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printing work, which helped him
to rise from his poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of his experience in
business was shared in his famous Poor Richard’s Almanak, which established his reputation
throughout the American colonies. In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written
toward the end of his life, he shows the same quiet common sense.
He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with electricity
and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving
the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia,
including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society, and - because he was a
pragmatic man - a fire prevention service. In 1753 he became Postmaster-General of the colonies.
Through this experience he began to develop the idea that the colonies of North America should be a
single nation. Later, he went to London to try to persuade the British government to change the
conditions, especially the taxes, that later led the American colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings about the rebellion of the American states, he
worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help George
Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional congress. This was his last
contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the
creators of the United States.
1. What is a good description for this text?
A. An autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. B. The life of Benjamin Franklin
C. The works of Benjamin Franklin. D. Franklin and American Independence.
2. When was Benjamin Franklin born?
A. 1806 B. 1794 C. 1717 D. 1706
3. Which of these happened first?
A. Franklin trains as a printer. B. Franklin runs away to Philadelphia.
C. The American colonies rebel. D. Franklin starts his first publication.
4. What was Poor Richard’s Almanak about?
A. Franklin’s reputation. B. How to succeed in business.
C. How to do government printing. D. The text does not say.
5. In which countries did Franklin live?
A. England and France. B. Philadelphia and England.
C. London and America. D. England, America and France.

TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Every nation and every country has its own customs and traditions. In Britain traditions play a more
important part in the life of the people than in other countries. Englishmen are proud of their
traditions and carefully keep them up.
It has been the law for about 300 years that all theaters are closed on Sundays. No letters are
delivered, only a few Sunday papers are published. To this day an English family prefers a house
with a garden to a flat in a modern house with a central heating. English people like gardens.
Sometimes the garden in front of the house is a little square covered with cement painted garden in
inmitation of grass and box of flowers.
Holidays are especially rich in old traditions and are different in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and
England. Christmas is a great English national holiday, and in Scotland it is not kept, except by clerks
in banks, all shops and factories are working.

V. Read the passage and choose the best answer.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he
foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the
inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for
awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there
were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968,
just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars
was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to
$125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal,
illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an
important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but
relatively few literature prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of
World War II Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
1. When did the first award ceremony take place 7

A. 1895 B . 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968
2. Why was the Nobel prize established?
A. To recognise worthwhile contributions to humanity.
B. To resolve political differences.
C. To honour the inventor of dynamite.
D. To spend money.
3. In which area have Americans received the most awards?
A. Literature B. Peace C. Economics D. Science
4. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Awards vary in monetary value.
B. Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel's invention.
C. Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.
D. A few individuals have won two awards.

VIII) Read the following passage and choose the best answer:
Computing is now at the same stage as printing was when the first printing presses were used.
Before printing presses were invented, only rich people like kings and dukes could afford to buy
books. Often these people were unable to read and hadn’t enough time to learn. In any case, the
books were so big that it was difficult for anyone to relax with a book as we do today. They wanted
booked because they were expensive and there was something magical about them. Only a few
people were able to write, and it took an extremely long time to write a book. Monks and other
people who could write said ordinary people could not learn to read.
The position with computers is very similar today. A few years ago, computers were very large
and expensive. Business managers and rich people ordered them but they didn’t know how to use
them. In many countries, however, the situation has now completely changed. Lots of people not

Question VI: Read the following passage and answer the questions below.

A burn is an injury to the skin caused by exposure to fire, hot liquids or metals, chemicals,
electricity or the sun’s ultraviolet rays. When someone gets a burn , it’s necessary to provide first -
aid right away. First aid for burns involves removing the source of the burn as soon as possible. The
burns should be cooled immediately with cold water. A clean, cold wet towel or dressing can be
placed on less serious burns to ease pain and protect the burns from contaminating. If the burn is
caused by chemicals, it should be bathed continuously with running water for at least 20 minutes to
reduce the substance. Any powder should be carefully brushed off with gloved or protected hands
before washing. Wet dressings should never be used for burns. Instead, the first - aid provider
should gently apply dry, sterile dressing held in place by bandages and seek immediate medical
attention.

1. __________ For me, every weekday begins the same: I get up at 7.00. I have breakfast, I take the
bus to school, I go to lessons ... I don’t hate this daily routine, but it isn’t very thrilling. In the
evenings, however, I drive Formula 1 cars, build enormous cities and defend my planet against
aliens. In short, I play computer games. It’s like entering a different world. That’s why I love playing
them so much.
2. __________My interest in computer games has taught me a lot about computer graphics. I want to
study computing at college, and learn how to design and program games. Eventually, I’d like to start
my own software company, creating and testing new games. That way, I could spend all day doing
what I love most.
3. ____________Computer games are interesting because they often contain stories and characters.
The games are getting better all the time, but they are also getting more expensive. The only thing I
don’t like about my hobby is the cost! New games are often about $50.

my cousin for the weekend. He had some games and he taught me how to play them. I became
hooked immediately! When I got home, I decided to save all my money for buying games. Now I’ve
got about twenty different games.

weeks with more or fewer than seven days.

traveling East, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty - five or twenty - three hours.
If you travel by ship across the Pacific Ocean, you cross the international date line. By agreement,
this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full

Benjamin Franklin
Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived
through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after it began, and dying
ten years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into
a nation, and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some training as a
printer’s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first publication, the
Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printing work, which helped him
to rise from his poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of his experience in
business was shared in his famous Poor Richard’s Almanak, which established his reputation
throughout the American colonies. In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written
toward the end of his life, he shows the same quiet common sense.
He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with electricity
and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving
the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia,
including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society, and - because he was a
pragmatic man - a fire prevention service. In 1753 he became Postmaster-General of the colonies.
Through this experience he began to develop the idea that the colonies of North America should be a
single nation. Later, he went to London to try to persuade the British government to change the
conditions, especially the taxes, that later led the American colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings about the rebellion of the American states, he
worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help George
Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional congress. This was his last
contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the
creators of the United States.

V. Read the passage and choose the best answer.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he
foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the
inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for
awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there
were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968,
just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars
was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to
$125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal,
illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an
important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but
205
relatively few literature prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of
World War II Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
1. When did the first award ceremony take place 7
A. 1895 B . 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968
2. Why was the Nobel prize established?
A. To recognise worthwhile contributions to humanity.B. To resolve political differences.
C. To honour the inventor of dynamite.D. To spend money.

invention.

They called New York “the Big Apple”. Maybe it is not exactly like an apple, it’s certainly very
big. There are too many people, that’s the problem. The streets are always full of cars and trucks, you
can never find a place to park.
If you have enough money, you can take a taxi. New York cabs are yellow. They look all the
same. But the drivers are very different. Some were born and raised in New York, but many are
newcomers to the United States. A few drive slowly, but most go very fast. Cab driving is a difficult
job. It can be dangerous, too. Thieves often try to steal the drivers’ money. Drivers sometimes get
hurt.
If you don’t want to take a taxi, you can go by bus or you can take the subway. The subway is
quick and it’s cheap, but parts of it are old and dirty. Lights don’t always work and there is often fire

the old trains easily. There is too much dirt and too many graffiti, inside and outside.

SECTION C – READING
I. Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
POPPY DAY
Poppy Day, 11 November, is the day when people in Britain remember the soldiers that died in the
First World War (1914 – 1918), the Second World War (1939 – 1945) and all other wars since. The
first Poppy Day was in 1921. The First World War had ended three years earlier, but it was still very
difficult, even impossible, for ex-soldiers in Britain to find employment. So some of them started
making and selling red paper poppies. They gave the money that they raised to ex-soldiers who were
disabled or unemployed, and to the families of soldiers who had died. The choice of flower was
significant. During the war, the soldiers had noticed poppies growing every year on the battlefields
in Belgium and the north of France. A well – known poem from that time, written by a Canadian
soldier, begin with the lines:
In Flanders* fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place*; …
In the days leading up to Poppy Day, about 32 million people in Britain buy and wear small poppies.
Some people choose to wear white poppies because they think that white symbolizes peace. Then, at
11 a.m. on 11 November (at the moment when the First World War ended) there’s a two – minute
silence. Many people stop and think quietly about the soldiers who died. There are ceremonies at
war memorials in towns and villages all over the country. The most important ceremony is in
London, when the Queen and the Prime Minister lay wreaths of poppies at the Cenotaph, a
monument to soldiers who died in battle.

D. soldiers who have died in wars since 1914
37. Why did ex – soldiers start making poppies?
A. Because they couldn’t find a job.
B. Because they were disabled.
C. Because they didn’t have families.
D. Because they were employed.

A. they had seen poppies growing on the battlefields.

C. READING (3.0/10)
I. Read the following passage then choose the best option to each question.
Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”? People use this
expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say
that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue
moon”. Or someone who doesn’t usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a
blue moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it. The first
thing to know that the moon itself is never actually blue. This is just an expression. The phrase “blue
moon” actually has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color. As the moon travels around the
Earth, it appears to change shape. We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For
example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape
that looks like a tip of a fingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon.
When we can see the entire moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every
month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the
second full moon is called a “blue moon”. Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons.
As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression “once
in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.
41. Which would be a good example of someone doing something “once in a blue moon”?
A. Mary likes to go to the mountains every weekend. B. Tom rarely remembers to take out the
trash.
C. Cindy hates washing the dishes. D. Mary sometimes forgets to do homework.
42. When does a blue moon happen in nature?
A. When there are two full moons in a month. B. When the moon has blue color.
C. When we can only see a small part of the moon. D. When we cannot see the moon at all.
43. According to the passage, it can be understood that which of the following sentences does not
contain the expression?
A. Thomas has lost his mind B. An apple a day keeps the doctor away
C. I’ll mow the grass after I finish my homework. D. It’s never bad time to start something
new
44. According to the passage, what is another example of something that has crescent shape?
A. your thumb B. a distant star C. the letter “C” D. the letter “H”
45. The author states that “Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons.” This means
that over the next 20 year, a blue moon will happen ……
A. once a year B. less than once a year
C. more than once a year D. Not enough information is provided
II. Read then answer the questions.
Colds and flu are caused by viruses. The infections are contagious, passed on by tiny droplets
and hand contact. There are hundreds of different types of virus that can cause cold, which explains
why children get repeated colds. Flu is caused by the influenza virus. There are three major types: A
(often the cause of flu epidemics), B and C. The flu virus is constantly changing its structure, so new
strains appear each year. We don’t have immunity to the new strains, which is why we can catch flu
repeatedly. Anyone can catch a cold or flu. The peak season for colds is the colder winter months, not
only because of the weather but because central heating dries out the normally moist nasal mucosa-
an important defense against invading viruses. However, you can catch a cold at any time of the year;
289
one particular type of cold virus thrives in the summer. Flu rarely occurs outside November to
February in the UK. A cold causes a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, mild fever and
tiredness, lasting from two to four days. Flu is more severe with a high fever (usually 39 oC or above),
chills, headache, intense muscle pains, exhaustion, loss of appetites, cough and sometimes a blocked
nose and sore throat. It may last a week or more and possible complications include pneumonia.
Most cold don’t last long and need no specific treatment other than painkillers and simple measures
such as decongestant rubs or vaporizers. Antibiotics are of no benefit. Zinc supplements may help to
settle a cold more quickly. Children with flu can be given similar treatments, with lots of rest,
medicine to bring down any fever and plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Lowering the
temperature in the room can also be helpful when someone has a fever. Specific antiviral treatments
for flu are now available, but generally these are only given to those at high risk of flu complications.

MY VILLAGE
I live in a village by Mekong River. Every day, like most of my friends, I walk to school. It is three
kilometers away. After class, I often help my mother to collect water from the river and feed the
chickens. At the weekend, the villagers often gather at the community hall where there is a TV. The
adults watch TV, but more often they talk about their farm work and exchange news. The children
run around, playing games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere.
My father sometimes takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our home products like
vegetables, fruits, eggs… He then buys me an ice cream and lets me take a ride on the electric train in
the town square. I love those trips.
On starry nights, we children lie on the grass, looking at the sky and daring each other to find the
Milky Way. We dream of faraway places.
Answer the following questions.
1/ Does the boy like riding on the electric train in the town square?

II. READING
1. Read the passage and answer the questions. Circle A, B, or C.
The Moon is approximately 384,400 kilometers from the Earth. Its diameter is 3,479 kilometers,
about 1/4 the diameter of Earth. The average temperature on the surface of the Moon during the day
is 107°C, hot enough to boil water on Earth. During the night, the average temperature drops to
−153°C.
Because of its smaller size and mass, the gravity of the Moon is about 1/6 the gravity on the Earth.
That means that a person who weighs 180 pounds on Earth would only weigh 30 pounds if
measured on the Moon.
The force of gravity from the Moon affects Earth. Its gravity reaches Earth and pulls the oceans
toward the Moon, causing the tides. The gravity from the Sun also affects the tides. The highest tides
will always occur when the Moon and Sun are aligned. That is when there is a New Moon or a Full
Moon.
1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. A comparison between the Moon and Earth
B. Physical characteristics of the Moon
C. The effect of the Moon on Earth
2. The word “its” in paragraph 2 refers to which of the following?
A. the Moon’s
B. Earth’s
C. gravity’s
3. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. A person would lose 5/6 of their weight if they were on the Moon.
B. A person would weigh much less on the Moon than on Earth.
C. The Earth weighs six times as much as the Moon.
4. What can we learn about the tides?
A. They happen twice a month at New Moon and Full Moon.
B. The Sun causes higher tides on Earth than the Moon does.
C. They are caused by both the Sun and the Moon.
5. The word “aligned” is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. combined together
B. arranged in a line
C. affected by the other
2. Read the passage about computers. Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F). Circle
T or F.
Do you own a PDA – Personal Digital Assistant? Have you got a personal computer? Have you ever
used a laptop? The answer can be “Yes”. But do you know that the first computer was made about 70
years ago? It was large enough to take up a living room. It was named ENIAC – Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Calculator.
Thanks to the development of technology, computers become smaller and smaller. The first personal
computer was actually introduced in the 1970s by MITS, Apple Computer and IBM. They didn’t look
exactly like now but they were surely revolutionary at the time.
Scientists are finding ways to make computers as smaller and slimmer as possible. Some of the today

Dear Mary,
How are you? I must write to tell you about the natural disaster I saw on TV this morning. It was a
huge tsunami in Japan two days ago. At first, there was a very strong earthquake, and then the
tsunami swept through the coastal areas of northern Japan.
It was so devastating. What used to be busy and lively cities now has become a vast area of debris.
Houses were totally destroyed, and pieces of furniture and means of transport were scattered
everywhere. Luckily, thanks to early warning, there was no human loss. I felt terrible .I intend to
donate some of my pocket money to help the Japanese people.Would you like to join me?

How did we make the telephone? First, we cut the tops of the tins. Then we punched a hole in the
bottom of each tin. What did we do next? We put one end of the string through the hole in one tin.
We tied a big knot. Then we put the string through the other hole and tied the other knot. The
teacher said: “ Now you have a string telephone! Let’s try it”. We opened the window of our room.
Tom called Bill in the other room; “Open your window and catch this tin. I’m going to throw it”. Then
Tom talked into the telephone to Bill, Bill listened. But nothing happened! Tom talked again, but Bill
didn’t hear him. He tried again. Again nothing happened. “ Wait a minute”, our teacher said. “Let’s
look at our telephone. Perhaps something’s wrong”. We looked at the telephone. Something was
wrong. The string was touching the window. We tried again. The students watched and waited. The
teacher watched too. Again Tom talked to Bill. This time Bill laughed and shouted, “I hear you! I hear
you!” Our telephone worked in the end.

II. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer.
The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are
burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste
products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of waste.
Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal tars. But to
date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness - power with
giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested.
Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and
rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United
States, but today it supplies only four percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy.
Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity.
Experiments are also underway to make use of the temperature differences in ocean water to
produce energy.

you do not need to use. Write the correct letter in the box.
Choose from the following sentences to fill the spaces in the text. There is ONE extra.
A. Using a microwave for cooking a large food mass is difficult due to limited penetration of
microwaves.
B. This can be overcome by leaving the food to stand for a few minutes when cooking is completed.
C. It is advised that the water should be poured slowly into another container that already contains
the powder.
D. In this way, buying a microwave oven with a turntable ensure the food is cooked throughout.
E. Conversely the microwaves do not heat glass, ceramic and plastic containers.
326
F. If the microwaves are not absorbed inside the oven, the oven can be damaged by electrical arcs
and overheating of the microwave source.
G. When water in that state is disturbed, it can suddenly and unexpectedly boil violently.
MICROWAVING
Microwaving is a method of cooking where food is bombarded by microwaves, usually within an
appliance called a microwave oven which excite the water, fat and sugar molecules, thereby heating
(cooking) both the outside and center of the food at the same time. (1)…………………
(A common myth is that a microwave oven cooks from the center of the food outward. This appears
to happen because heat generated at the surface escapes more readily from the surface of the food
into the surrounding air.) One advantage of microwaving is that small amounts of food can be heated
very quickly, making it useful for reheating leftovers.
The disadvantage is that food which is microwaved does not undergo some of the chemical reactions,
such as browning, which makes the food visually attractive. Primitive microwave ovens often do not
cook evenly, leading to a concern that bacteria easily killed by more traditional cooking methods
may survive the quick cooking time in "cold spots", though the food item as a whole is cooked to a
safe average temperature. (2) ……
Some high-end microwave ovens are combined with a convection oven which basically cook the
food using microwave and hot air simultaneously to achieve both the fast cooking time and
browning effect.
(3) …………………
However microwave ovens are used in some fast food chains and special microwave bags are
available for cooking fowl or large joints of meat.
Professional chefs generally recommend using microwaves for a limited set of tasks, including:
melting fats (such as butter) and chocolate, cooking grains like oatmeal and grits, cooking rice,
thawing frozen meats and vegetables before cooking by other methods and quickly reheating
already-cooked foods.
Using a microwave to boil water is potentially dangerous, due to superheating. In a microwave,
water can be raised quickly to a temperature above the boiling point before major bubbles form,
especially if it is purified and in a very clean glass vessel. (4) …………………
This effect is rare, even for scientists who try to deliberately recreate it, and any seed whatsoever
for boiling is likely to prevent the problem. Boiling water with, for instance, a teabag already in it will
prevent any dangers by providing a seed, as will using a mug that is not perfectly clean.
The risk greatly increases when water has already been boiled once in the same container. This
situation can occur if the user of the oven boiled the water once, forgot about it, then came back later
to boil it again. The first time the water boils, the seed bubbles (microscopic bubbles of air around
which larger steam bubbles grow) are used up and largely eliminated from the water as it cools
down. When the water is heated again, the lack of seed bubbles causes superheating, and a risk of a
steam explosion when the water's surface is disturbed.
Placing something in the water before heating can mostly alleviate this risk. If you are planning to
mix something with the water, say tea or hot chocolate, adding it before heating will insure that the
water boils. Otherwise, placing a wood object, for instance a chopstick, in the water before heating
will also work.
Care should be taken when removing heated water from a microwave. Make sure that the hands are
protected from possible liquid boil-over, place the container on a level, heat-proof surface and stir
liquid with a warm spoon. Also, never add powdered substances (such as instant coffee or cocoa
327
mix) to the container taken from the microwave, due to the addition of all those seed bubbles and
the potential for violent, spontaneous boiling. (5) …………………
Metal objects, such as metal utensils, in a microwave oven can lead to dangerous situations. Metals
do not absorb microwaves effectively. Instead, metals reflect microwaves, thereby preventing the
latter from reaching the food. (6) …………………
Thin metal layers, such as metal foil and mugs with metal trim can melt or burn due to the strong
electrical currents that are generated in metal objects. However, small solid metal objects, such as
spoons, in combination with a large amount of absorbing food or liquid, normally do not lead to
problems.

III. Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question.
The culture of Vietnam is one of the oldest in the Southeast Asia region. Although Vietnam lies geographically
in Southeast Asia, long periods of Chinese domination and influence has resulted in the emergence of many East Asian
characteristics in Vietnamese culture, and generally Vietnam is said to be a part of the East Asian cultural sphere,
known widely as Chinese cultural sphere.
Despite considerable foreign influence, Vietnamese people have managed to retain many distinct
customs. While Chinese culture has the largest influence on traditional Vietnamese culture, there is also a
much smaller influence from the Cham and later Western cultures, most notably of France, Russia and the
United States. In term of prehistory, most Vietnamese historians consider the ancient Dong Son Culture to
be one of the defining aspects of early Vietnamese civilization.
Vietnam’s population in 2006 was 84,402,966, with a population density of 253 people per km 2. Most
people live in or near the densely populous Red River or Mekong deltas. Due to the nation’s southward expansion
throughout its history, along with the different climate and environment met by the settlers as they moved further
south, slightly different regional cultures began to emerge, most notably between Northern and Southern Vietnam.
1. The culture of Vietnam______ .
A. is the youngest in Asia B. does not get any Asian characteristics
C. was influenced by that of China D. was greatly dominated by that of Western
2. Which culture has not affected the Vietnamese one?
A. Of the United States B. Of the United Kingdom C. Of Russia D. Of France
3. Vietnamese people ______ . A. cannot keep their own culture in their daily life
B. have many diverse nation customs C. highly appreciate the Western influence on their culture
D. failed to retain the native customs
4. Through history, Vietnam expended to the ______ A. south B. north C. east D. west
5. Which statement is true?
A. The North and the South of Vietnam have the same regional cultures.
B. The Mekong delta is more populous than the Red River one.
C. Red River delta is densely populous.
D. Vietnamese people do not like living in the deltas.

I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel,
so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however,
could not understand me. I repeated my questions several times and at last, he understood. He answered
me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. "I am a foreigner," I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not
understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled.
Then he said something and I understood it. "You'll soon learn English!" he said. I wonder. In England, each
man speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they
speak English?

Many people continue to skip breakfast despite its being most important meal of the day.
Busy people often rush out the door in the mornings with out giving their bodies the fuel they need to
handle a long day at work. They end up feeling tired by the afternoon and resort to the office snack
machine or biscuit tin.
Loysa Hourigan, from Nutrition Australia, said that catching up on food at lunch time did not
provide the body with enough sustenance to keep it going for the rest of the day. “Even if you have had
lunch, you won’t have as much food as you need. Your brain gets depleted of glucose and you feel tires.”
Ms Hourigan said. According to Ms Hourigan, wholegrain bread and cereals provide endurance. Milk,
eggs and baked beans provide protein, which helps people to alert. Rolled oats are also an excellent
endurance food.

IV. Read the passage carefully, then choose the best answer. ( 0,5 ps )
It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to
look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamed covering of the tooth.
This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the
tooth. Eventually, poison goes into blood, and we may feel quite ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy?. Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small
holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in
the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist.
Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day- once
after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth
after a meal.
Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread,
potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially
when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
1. Good teeth help us to ................
A. be nice B. have a good eyesight.
C. chew our food D. be important
2. When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth ............
A. become hard B. begin to decay.
C. send poison into the blood. D. makes us feel quite ill.
3. A lot of people visit a dentist only when ..............
A. their teeth grow properly B. they have holes in their teeth
C. they have toothache D. they have brushed their teeth.
4. We ought to try clean our teeth ...............
A. once a day B. at least twice a day
C. between meals D. before breakfast.
5. We shouldn’t eat a lot of ...............
A. red rice B. fresh fruit
C. fish D. chocolate.

Concorde was building in the UK and France. It is the faster passenger plane in the world and it can flying at

Fire was very important to man . He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used fire to cook his
food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of the world he used fire to
signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke signals. In some other countries people
lit fire to warm their friends of danger. Fire was also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp,
men used burning sticks as torchs. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in
wire baskets from posts to light the streets. One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle
clock. He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal
parts. He lit the candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But
the candle clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too
quickly.

Footprints on the moon
Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was a light in the sky. And
others thought it was a big ball of cheese!
Then telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really another world. They wondered what
it was like. they dreamed of going there. On July 20, 1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed
on the moon. Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that
the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked. Those
were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and
years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off. The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked
up rocks to bring back to earth for study. They dug up dirt to bring back and they set up machines to find
out things people wanted to know. Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft.
Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Micheal Collins in
the spaceship that waited for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth.
Behind them they left the plains , the tall mountains of the moon and they left the machines they had set up.

A. makes balls of light seem brighter.

II. Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false.
May people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world’s resources are
limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fossil fuel is left. However, we should use them economically and
try to find out alternative source of energy. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the England Institute
of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late and nuclear power is a
potential alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it is dangerous. What would happen
if there were a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect many future
generations.
Therefore, while scientists are trying to find out other sources of energy, the most important thing for us to
do now is to use our natural resources as economically as we can.
1. Natural resources will never run out. __________
2. We don’t know exactly how much fossil fuel is left. __________

The culture of Vietnam is one of the oldest in the Southeast Asia region. Although Vietnam lies
geographically in Southeast Asia, long periods of Chinese domination and influence has resulted in the emergence
of many East Asian characteristics in Vietnamese culture, and generally Vietnam is said to be a part of the East
Asian cultural sphere, known widely as Chinese cultural sphere.
Despite considerable foreign influence, Vietnamese people have managed to retain many
distinct customs. While Chinese culture has the largest influence on traditional Vietnamese culture,
there is also a much smaller influence from the Cham and later Western cultures, most notably of
France, Russia and the United States. In term of prehistory, most Vietnamese historians consider the
ancient Dong Son Culture to be one of the defining aspects of early Vietnamese civilization.
Vietnam’s population in 2006 was 84,402,966, with a population density of 253 people per km 2. Most
people live in or near the densely populous Red River or Mekong deltas. Due to the nation’s southward
expansion throughout its history, along with the different climate and environment met by the settlers as
they moved further south, slightly different regional cultures began to emerge, most notably between
Northern and Southern Vietnam.
1. The culture of Vietnam______ .
A. is the youngest in Asia B. does not get any Asian characteristics
C. was influenced by that of China D. was greatly dominated by that of Western
2. Which culture has not affected the Vietnamese one?
A. Of the United States B. Of the United Kingdom
C. Of Russia D. Of France
3. Vietnamese people ______ .
A. cannot keep their own culture in their daily life
B. have many diverse nation customs
C. highly appreciate the Western influence on their culture
D. failed to retain the native customs
4. Through history, Vietnam expended to the ______ .
A. south B. north C. east D. west
5. Which statement is true?
A. The North and the South of Vietnam have the same regional cultures.
B. The Mekong delta is more populous than the Red River one.
C. Red River delta is densely populous.
D. Vietnamese people do not like living in the deltas.

pt).
Students are always saying to me, "English is so difficult," but is it? Well, in my opinion English is one
of the easiest languages to learn for beginners. To be able to talk simply in the past present and future is
really easy. When you get to an intermediate level of English things start to get more difficult. For upper
intermediate students English becomes quite difficult.
Let's look at nouns. In French or Spanish, all nouns have to be either male or female, so you don't just have
to learn the noun, but you have to learn its gender. In German it is worse, because there are three noun
cases, masculine, feminine and neuter, and in Swahili, an African language, there are sixteen! So, nouns are
easy to learn.
Let's look at verbs. The verb work is a regular verb as we know. There are only two forms of this verb in the
present simple, work and works. Compare this with Italian or Portuguese, where you have to learn a
different ending for each pronoun. In the past, you only have one form in English, not six, and in the simple
future, you have to use will and the verb, not another six forms, so we've got four forms to learn in English
and eighteen in, for example, Spanish.
Okay, I know it's more complicated than that, and that when you get to the present perfect or the difference
between going to and will, things aren't so straightforward, but if you just want to use your verb to say
something in the present past or future it's easy. So make the most of this elementary stage in your English
language learning programme, because the better you get, the harder it becomes!
1. What is the writer's opinion of the present perfect tense?
a. It's the most difficult tense in English.
b. It's as easy as the other tenses.
c. It's not as easy as the present, past or future.
d. It's more difficult in English than in other tenses.
2. What does straightforward mean in this passage?
a. Difficult. b. Easy. c. Regular. d. Irregular.
3. What is the writer's advice to students?
a. Study hard at elementary level.
b. Don't study after elementary level.
c. Enjoy learning English before it gets difficult.
d. Start to learn more difficult English.
4. What is this passage about?
a. How to study English.
b. The differences between English and other languages.
c. How easy English is.
d. The wrong opinion some people have of how difficult English is to learn.
5. How does the difficulty of learning English change?
a. As you learn more it gets more difficult.
b. As you learn more it gets easier.
c. If you study hard it doesn't change.
d. For some people it changes, for others it doesn't.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish- born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw
its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel, preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of the
dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to
people who had made world while contribution to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature,
physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty- seven years after the first
awards ceremony.
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested and the interest in this sum is used for the
awards which vary from $ 30,000 to $ 125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards are presented to the winners.
Some politics plays an important role in the judge’s decision. Americans have won numerous science awards but

won two prizes, but this is rare, others have shared their prizes.

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. But 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. But they are being
destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even where law
existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignores 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.
71. One environmental problem in the world today is ___________.
A. acid rain B. safe water shortage
C. industrial pollution D. population explosion
72. Which of the following is NOT the reason that makes water undrinkable?
A. acid rain B. garbage

C. It has 1,300 rare species that do not D. The government did not have the power
exist anywhere else in the world. to enforce laws and regulations.

C. nearly 16 D. less than 15

are threatened, and could easily become extinct if we do not make an effort to protect them. There are
many reasons for this. In some cases animals are hunted for fur or for other valuable parts of their bodies.
Some birds, such as parrots, are caught alive , and sold as pets. For many animals and birds, the problem is
that their habitat-the place where they live is disappearing. More land is used for farms, for houses and
industry, and there are fewer open places than there once were. Farmers use powerful chemicals to help
them grow better crops, but these chemicals pollute the environment and harm the wildlife. The most
successful animals on the earth – human beings will soon be the only ones left, unless we can solve this
problem.
