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.
A Mission to Mars
Have you ever had a dream of traveling to another planet in our solar system? If you have, there is an actual
programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in 2023. Known as the Mars One
Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one -way mission to colonize Mars. Those chosen people will
have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip.
For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they will be living the
rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have personalities that allow them to get
along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be very spacious, so they will have to deal with
that condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people back on the
earth via e-mail, video and audio sent back and forth. However, there won’t be any real-time communication.
Even at the speed of light, communication between the earth and Mars takes about 20 minutes.
Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are asking. There

When you hear how I learned a foreign language, you have to remember a few things. In 1993, when I
started learning English, no one had heard of the Internet. I wasn’t able to read websites on topics that I found
interesting or follow blogs. And I have no idea how I decided which movies to see without my favourite
movie review website.
My reading practice was limited. All I had were a few books on sale locally. For listening practice, I
only had the news and cartoons on cable TV. People bought and rented videos but in Poland there was no
spoken English on them. The only way to hear that was to visit the movies.
My dictionaries were all in book form until I received my first PC dictionary. It came on at least six
disks and had unhelpful explanations and few example sentences. It doesn’t sound very useful but I loved it
because of its ability to work with other programs and find English words more quickly. Today, computerized
dictionaries have simple explanations and lots of examples. Now I can spend hours on the web, reading about
my favourite topics, downloading up-to-date movies, emailing English-speaking friends and posting
comments on forums.

Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that
best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Unlike life in the countryside, which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in cities is
modern and complicated. People, from different regions, move to cities to seek a better life for them and their
children. The inhabitants in cities work as secretaries, businessmen, teachers, government employees, factory
workers and even street vendors or construction workers.
The high cost of living requires city dwellers, especially those with low incomes, to work harder or to take
part-time jobs. For many people, an ordinary day starts as usual by getting up in the early morning to do
exercise in public parks, preparing for a full day of work and study, then travelling along boulevards or
narrow streets filled with motorists and returning home after a busy day. They usually live in large houses, or
high-rise apartment blocks or even in small rented rooms equipped with modern facilities, like the Internet,
telephones, televisions, and so on. Industrialization and modernization as well as global integration have big
impacts on the lifestyle in cities. The most noticeable impact is the Western style of clothing. The “Ao Dai” –
Vietnamese women’s traditional dresses are no longer worn in their daily life. Instead, jeans, T-shirts and
fashionable clothes are widely preferred.

Son Doong Cave
Located in the limestone mountains of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. Son Doong Cave was first found

ENGLISH 9 TEACHER: NGUYEN THU TRANG – PHAN DINH GIOT SECONDARY SCHOOL
British Cave Research Association.
Son Doong Cave was formed from 2 to 5 million years ago, when the river flowed through the limestone
mountain area and was buried. The water eroded limestone and created an underground tunnel. In soft
limestone areas, the collapse of tunnel ceiling formed large holes which became giant domes afterward. The
cave is about 200m high, 200m wide and at least 8.5km long. Especially, Son Doong consists of two
entrances, which is unique among explored caves in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. Exploring the cave,
visitors were surprised with spectacular scenery of numerous stalactites of which some giant stalagmites are
more than 70 metres high. Deep inside the cave exists a grandiose tropical jungle called “Garden of Eden" by
the explorers. The jungle is home to a diversified system of fauna and flora. Besides, the cave possesses a 2.5
kilometres underground river. Not far from the “Garden of Eden” lies an enormous “pearl collection”
consisting of tens of thousands of small stone pieces in dry ponds, contributing to magnificent beauty of the
cave.

The changing roles of the modern father
Fathers used to act as the ‘breadwinner’ of their family, and as the teacher of moral and religious
values. Today, however, those roles are gradually changing.
ENGLISH 9 TEACHER: NGUYEN THU TRANG – PHAN DINH GIOT SECONDARY SCHOOL
Changes in economic roles
More and more women are going out to work and earn money. This increases the budget of the
family. Apart from that, there are various social welfare programmes which financially assist mothers in
supporting their children. Both these changes have greatly impacted the role of fathers because they make
paternal financial support less essential for many families.
Changes in caregiving roles
With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father’s role,
modern day fathers tend to be more involved in children’s caregiving. They are now spending more time and
energy on their children.
Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the influence of a
father’s love and attention is as great as that of a mother’s. Fatherly love helps children develop a sense of
their place in the world, which helps their social and emotional development. Moreover, children who receive
more love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioural problems.
This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future, especially in
traditionally male-dominated societies.
28. Which of these is NOT the traditional role of a father?
A. religious educator B. financial supporter
C. teacher of moral values D. caregiver

hours per year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at home at time that suit their family
schedule. They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to
ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of
hours a week each student studies online as well as that students’ learning materials and assessment activities.
Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities
and condition for each individual student and generate similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak

The tooth decay
In most animals, dental decay is a rare problem. In man, and especially in the rich West, the disease has
reached epidemic proportions.
ENGLISH 9 TEACHER: NGUYEN THU TRANG – PHAN DINH GIOT SECONDARY SCHOOL
The cause of tooth decay in human beings is a bacterium that feeds on the sugar in our food. It digests the
sugar more easily by converting it into an acid. The acid then dissolves the enamel, the outer coating of the
teeth and finally attacks the living nerve within. The result is the agonizing pain we know as toothache.
28. According to the passage how common are for animals to suffer from tooth decay?
A. They suffer from it more commonly than people do.
B. They suffer from it as commonly as people do
C. They never suffer from it.

There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary greatly in the type of work involved
and in the ways they influence a person’s life. The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways.
For example, it can determine where you live and the friends you make. It can reflect how much education
you have and can determine the amount of money you earn. Your career can also affect the way you feel
about yourself and the way other people act toward you. By making wise decisions concerning your career,
you can help yourself build the life you want. To make wise career decisions and plans, you need as much
information as possible. The more you know about yourself and career opportunities, the better you will be
able to choose a satisfying career. People differ in what they want from a career. Many people desire a high
income. Some hope for fame. Others want adventure. Still others want to serve people and make the world a
better place. Before you begin to explore career fields, you should determine your values; your interests; and
your aptitudes (abilities). Most people are happy in jobs that fit their values, interests, and aptitudes. Each
person has many values, which vary in strength. For example, money is the strongest value for some people –
that is, wealth is more important to them than anything else. As a result, they focus their thoughts, behaviours,
and emotions on the goal of earning a high income. Other values include devotion to religion, taking risks,
spending time with family, and helping others. People should understand their values prior to making a career
decision. You can develop an understanding of your values by asking yourself what is the most important to
you and by examining your beliefs. For example, is it important for you to work as a member of a team? Or
would you rather be in charge or work alone? If working alone or being in charge is important to you,
independence is probably one of your primary values.

answer to each of the questions
The Changing Role of Women in Filipino Society
When many people think of women in Asian culture, they think of a male dominated society where women
don’t have as many rights as their male counterparts. However, the Filipino are different. Filipino women
have always enjoyed greater equality than women in other nations in Southeast Asia.
For starters, Filipino women today serve as heads in the family arrangement, handling the money, acting as
religious mentors and even arranging marriages for their sons and daughters. This is a sharp contrast to
women being subjugated to their husbands.
This does not mean that they have equality everywhere. In the workplace, Filipino women are paid less and
are often hired for lower positions even if they are qualified to earn more money. On the home front, women
carry a heavy burden in the homes in order to support them financially while men can keep their money and
are not obligated to the family.
Thankfully, strides are being made to equalize this perception of inequality. Human Resources Managements
are seeing to it that a lot more women hold high ranking positions in large and small organizations. More
women are holding managerial positions in banks, government, and multinational companies.
Even though they have had a female president, involvement in politics is not considered women’s business,
and many women still hold to the tradition that a woman cannot take a higher position than her husband. Part
of this mindset is due to the effect of colonization on Filipino women.
Like women in many parts of the world, Filipino women have had to fight for their proper place in their
society. They have worked hard to extend themselves beyond the confines of their homes and show that they
have the strength and power to control business and politics.

Package holidays, covering a two weeks" stay in an attractive location are increasingly popular, because they
offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you
get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing - you name
it - it’s all laid on for you(29). There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother anything yourselves. You make
friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people.
This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time travelling. Of course, there
are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments,(30) but you will
probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous city, with a polite reminder to be up and
breakfasted early in time for the coach next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient,
but time is always at your elbow.(31) There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your
holiday with a group of people you have never met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for
getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly,
the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit
safely back in their seat and watch the world go by.
29. When you go on a package holiday, you don’t have to__________
A. travel in an organised group B. pay for any extra activities
C. follow the tour schedules D. arrange anything yourself

How can scientists predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere but happen in certain areas.
They happen in places where pieces of the Earth"s surface meet.(28) For example, earthquakes often occur on
the west-coast of North and South America, around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of
Asia. (29)
Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth’s surface, like a sudden drop of water
level in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before earthquakes, people have seen
chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping out of the water, snakes leaving their holes and other animals acting
strangely.
After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food(31), water, and medical supplies. The amount
of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on where it happens, what time it happens, and how strong it
is. It also depends on types of buildings, soil conditions and population.(30) Of the 6000 earthquakes on the
earth each year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths.

Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for
children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the
homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils have to repeat tasks, which they have already
done at school.
Recently many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to their children.
The Greek parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it. Spain and
Turkey are two countries, which stopped homework recently. In Denmark, West Germany and several other
countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at weekends. In Holland, teachers allow pupils to stay at
school to do their homework. The children are free to help one another. Similar arrangements also exist in
some British schools.
Most people agree that homework is unfair. A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable
room is in a much better position than a pupil who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the
television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all in
their children’s homework.

for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children.

Thousands of years before Columbus came to the New World, the American Indians entered North
America by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia. The migrants entered a
new world in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests
where nuts, roots, and berries could be gathered.
When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the settlers how to plant corn,
bake fish, make canoes, and smoke tobacco. In return, the white introduced horses, guns, gunpowder, and
alcohol. But at last, there were struggles for land, and the struggles could have only one result - war. When the
wars were over, all Indians were moved to large tracts of land called reservations( vùng đất riêng). Now, some
of them, embittered (căm thù)by mistreatment, are determined to preserve their tribal life; some wish to
modernize the reservations. These alternatives, with many variations, are what most Indians have chosen – a

Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world's energy
resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them
economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the
New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and
nuclear power is the only alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it's very dangerous. What would
happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the future
generations.
The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as economically as possible.

Travelling is one of the most popular forms of recreation in the USA. Most American employees receive
an annual vacation with pay, and it is a good time off for travelling. Travelling within the country is popular
because foreign travel generally takes more time and money. However, Americans who wish to vacation
outside the USA are free to go almost anywhere. Obtaining a passport is a routine matter.
Every year about 13 million Americans travel abroad. The most popular vacation periods are during the
summer and during the two-week school break on the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. These periods are
also the most crowded and generally the most expensive time to travel, so people who can adjust their
schedules sometimes choose vacation in the autumn. American vacationers often travel by car. Most families
have a car, and those who do not have a car can rent one. Cars are usually the economical way to travel,
especially for the families. It is also fairly fast and convenient. Excellent highways connect the major cities.
They enable vacationees to travel at an almost steady speed of 55 to 65 miles an hour. Tourists that want to
travel faster often fly to their destination and then rent a car to go around when they get there.
Question 21: The passage is mainly about ________.
A. Christmas and New Year B. going abroad
C. travelling in USA D. renting a car for travelling

In the past, traveling was nothing less chon It dangerous Adventure. People had no means of transport as they
have now. They faced all sorts of danger such as bad weather, wild beasts and robbers. Therefore, most
people did not like to go away from their villages. Only those who were adventurous set out on a long journey.
When man succeeded in training the four-foot animals like the horse and the camel, traveling became fairly
comfortable. A trip across country was still a dangerous undertaking. In those days, it was also very difficult
to transport goods from one place to another. Man carried his load on his head or buck. Later, horses and other
animals were used for these purposes. But man and animals could not carry very heavy loads from one place
to another.
Now people living in any part of a country can travel to any other part in comfort. Every country sets up a
railway network. A small sum of money is required to go from one corner of the country to another. If you
business is more urgent, you can travel by airplane. A plane will need only a couple of days to fly around the

Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate solar
energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no new
space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources,
they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which arc noisy, expensive and
easy to break down. Solar cells arc totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they
require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.
However, solar energy also has sonic disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during daytime
because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work effectively. The main
disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and
gas. This is because solar cells arc expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as
more and more people sec the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy.
36. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
B. Solar energy’s advantages over other sources of energy.
C. The cost of solar energy.
D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels.

Questions 23 - 28. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow. (1.5 ms)
Every year, the average temperature of the Earth’s surface gets a little bit warmer This gradual trend is
called global wanning. Warmer weather may sound nice, but global warming is something to be very
concerned about.
Scientists are worried that continued warmer temperatures could damage the environment in many
devastating ways. Rising temperatures might cause plants and animals to become extinct. They could melt
enough polar ice to cause die levels of the sea to rise. Weather patterns could also change. There might be
more droughts or serious storms with flooding. In some areas, human diseases could spread.
What is causing global warming? Humans are mostly to blame. Pollution from factories and cars add toxic
gases to the air. These gases rise to the Earth’s atmosphere. As the sun's rays warm the Earth, the gases work
much like the glass in a greenhouse. They help trap the heat in the atmosphere and make the Earth grow
warmer. That is why they arc nicknamed "greenhouse gases".
It is our responsibility to take care of our planet. Global warming is a serious problem with serious
consequences. If we want future generations to enjoy their time on Earth, we must act now!

It is 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 enamel 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 the 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 e orc we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a
meal. Thirdly, we should cat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread,
potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially
when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they slick to
our teeth and cause decay.

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give It the ability to do
outstandingly well. Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed I lie
truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gibed parents will increase a child’s
ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities.
As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel” Scientists have
recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated
shortly after birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement was based on intelligence,
and later influenced by the child’s environment One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of
the twins received a normal upbringing, performed well the other twin, however, was brought up by extremely
supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out
with the same degree of intelligences as the other, performed even better. This case reflects the general
principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s intelligence and
ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child's
family. In other words, it does not muller how poor or how rich a family is, ns this does not affect intelligence.
Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor of
music said that outstanding musicians usually stalled two or three years earlier than ordinary pel formers,
often because their parents had recognized their ability/These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard
work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining. People who want to have very
gifted children arc given the following advice:
• Marry an intelligent person.
• Allow children to follow their own interests Hillier titan the interests of the parents.
• Start a child's education early bill avoid pushing the child too hard.
• Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who
wants to become an outstanding musician.

Are Sports Bad for Kids?
People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children slay healthy while playing with
others. However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-
esteem or aggressive behavior in some children According to research on kids and sports. 40 million kids play
sports in tile US. Of these. 18 million say they have been yelled at or called name', while playing sports This
leaves many children with a bad impression of sports. They think sport! arc just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, arc die main cause of too much
aggression in children's sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then
further reinforced through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches ate powerful teachers
because children usually look up to them Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children
the message that winning is everything. At children's sporting events, parents may yell insults al other players
or cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is
acceptable, or they may be pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, die media
makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and
over on television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches
should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values They should teach
children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is not necessary to knock yourself out to enjoy sports.
Winning is not everything. In addition, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are
injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the that health is not as important as
winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.

In Britain there is a holiday now which people call Mother’s Day. In the old days many girls from
working-class families in towns and cities and from farmers’ families in the country worked in rich houses.
Once a year, it was usually on Sunday in March, they were allowed to visit their mothers. They went
home and brought presents for their mothers and for other members of their families. People call that day
Mothering Day or Mothering Sunday. Mothering Day later became Mother’s Day. It is the last Sunday in
March.

PASSAGE 1
Located in the subrange of the Himalayas, Mount Everest is the world’s highest mountain, standing at
29,029 feet (8,848 meters). The Himalayas mountain chain was formed when the Indian tectonic plate, or in
other words massive rocks, pushed against the Asian plate.
British mountaineers tried to ascent to the summit of Mount Everest for many times until in 1953, a
beekeeper from New Zealand, Edmund Hillary, and the Nepalese Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay, became the first
people to stand on the summit of the world’s highest peak.
Several thousands of people have climbed to the peak since then, normally with the assistance of
Sherpas, local Nepalese people who carry the equipment and know the mountain very well. On 18 April
2014, in one of the worst disasters to ever hit the Everest climbing community up to that time, 16 Sherpas
died in Nepal due to the avalanche that swept them off Mount Everest. In response to the tragedy, numerous
Sherpa climbing guides walked off the job and most climbing companies pulled out in respect for the Sherpa
people mourning the loss. Some still wanted to climb but there was really too much controversy to continue
that year. One of the issues that triggered the work action by Sherpas was unreasonable client demands
during climbs.
Because of the harsh climate and the temperature that can drop down to -76°F (-60°C), this is a very
dangerous journey. The mountain is so high that the climbers have to use bottled oxygen to keep their lungs
functioning. Interestingly, the summit point also lies on the international border between Tibet and Nepal.

LIFE BEYOND EARTH
Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “we don’t know”. But today,
this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life exists
somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings.
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time.
Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. This is too long, say Shostak and Barnett, for
only one planet in the entire universe to have intelligent life. The second - the universe is huge. Tools like
the Hubble Telescope “have shown that have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says
Shostak. And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets circling these stars
might be similar to Earth.
Until recently, it was difficult to search for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful
telescopes enable scientists to identify smaller planets - the size of Mars or Earth - in other solar systems.
These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited Earth? Probably not, says Shostak. The distance between planets
is too great. Despite this, intelligent beings might eventually contact US using other methods, such as radio
signals. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive
their messages. But this is changing, says Shostak. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in
universe.

AN INTERVIEW WITH PROFESSOR MICHAEL WESCH
How has technology changed the way we learn?
Most importantly, the web now gives US the opportunity to publish our own work. Instead of simply
watching TV, we can create and edit our own videos. Instead of just reading a magazine, we can write our
own articles and documents and publish them. There are now 1.4 billion people connected online, so we can
use the work we create to reach out and connect with large numbers of people.
What advice would you give to today’s students and teachers?
Now is the time to rethink the meaning of the word “literacy”. We used to think of literacy as the ability
to read and write. Now we need to think beyond reading and writing. We all need to learn how to create and
collaborate on videos, photos, blogs, wikis, online forums, and other kinds of digital media.
This can be difficult when teachers and students do not have access to the Internet, but the core skills can
be practiced in classrooms without technology. One of the most important skills we must now learn is
collaboration, and this can be practiced on a chalkboard, whiteboard, or even a simple piece of paper. We
can learn to listen to one another, use each other’s strengths, and practice working together in any
environment.

D. The Internet allows US to create our own work and connect with many people.
2. The word “them” (in the first paragraph) refers to.
A. TV and video B. articles and documents

3. What is Michael Wesch’s main idea in the second paragraph?
A. Most teachers today do not teach literacy.
B. Today’s students no longer need to learn how to read and write.
C. Today’s students need to learn more than just reading and writing.
D. Schools should teach digital literacy and not reading and writing.
4. What kind of digital media is NOT mentioned in the passage?

Worldwide, cities gain a million people a week. This kind of growth brings problems, and today of the
world’s largest cities face similar challenges: high housing costs, pollution and crime. What are some urban
planners doing to fix these problems and improve people’s lives?
To improve residents’ lives, Hyderabad is planting trees and parks. The city is even creating “greener”
buildings that use less water and less electricity for power. Adding green to a city has a number of
advantages. For example, trees remove pollution from the air and make it cleaner. In Hyderabad, streets
were gray and ugly a few years ago. Today, they are filled with trees and flowers, making the city cleaner
and more colorful. Green areas also give people places to relax or exercise and walk. A study in the U.S.
showed something else interesting: the greener a neighborhood is, the less crime there is against people and
property.
Many people work in the center of São Paulo, but they don’t live there. They’ve spread out to
ENGLISH 9 TEACHER: NGUYEN THU TRANG – PHAN DINH GIOT SECONDARY SCHOOL
neighborhoods outside the city, where housing is cheaper. Every day, these people travel into the city, and
traffic is very heavy. Urban planners are using different strategies to address this issue. First, they are
building better subways. Another goal is to make it cheaper for people to live in the downtown area. Doing
this will shorten the distance people travel for work and reduce traffic and pollution in the city.

The search for alternative sources of energy has been led in various directions. In Sweden, many
communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Another
efficient way to dispose waste is to convert waste products to gases or oil. Moreover, 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 is
also being tested.
Nowadays, 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 4 percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy and scientists
are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are
also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

PASSAGE 8
It is very difficult to succeed in the music business; nine out of ten bands that release a first record fail to
produce a second. Surviving in the music industry requires luck and patience, but most of all it requires a
detailed knowledge of how a record company functions. The process begins when a representative of a
company’s Artists and Repertoire (A&R) department visits bars and night clubs, scouting for young,
talented bands. After the representative identifies a promising band, he or she will work to negotiate a
contract with that band. The signing of this recording contract is a slow process.
A company will spend a long time investigating the band itself as well as current trends in popular music.
During this period, it is important that a band reciprocate with an investigation of its own, learning as much
as possible about the record company and making personal connections with the different departments that
will handle its recordings.
Once a band has signed the contract and has finished recording an album, the Publicity and Promotions
department takes over. This department decides whether or not to mass produce and market the band’s
album. Most bands fail to make personal contacts in this second department, thus losing their voice in the
important final process of producing and marketing their album. This loss of voice often contributes to the
band’s failure as a recording group.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that.
A. the cost of recording an album is very expensive
B. the A&R department has a very large staff
C. the music industry is full of opportunities for young bands
D. most bands do not fully understand how record companies operate
2. The word “it” in paragraph I refers to___.
A. surviving in the music industry B. negotiating a contract

A. Nine out of ten bands fail to produce a second record.
B. The main factors in a band’s success are luck and patience.
C. Making personal connections will help the band in the final decisions about the promotion of their album.
D. It is important for a band to have an intricate knowledge of how a recording company works.
4. As used in line paragraph 1, the word “release” is closest in meaning to_.
A. itemize B. distribute C. overturn D. pay for
5. The author mentions that a band’s success is dependent on all of the following factors EXCEPT
A. understanding how a record company functions
B. playing music that sounds like music of famous bands

PASSAGE 9
People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and playing with others helps them to become
healthier. However, playing sports can have bad effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-
respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids
play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been shouted at or called names while playing
sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much
aggression in children’s sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then
further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers
because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending
children the message that winning is everything.
ENGLISH 9 TEACHER: NGUYEN THU TRANG – PHAN DINH GIOT SECONDARY SCHOOL
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches
should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values. They should teach
children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It’s not necessary to knock yourself out to enjoy
sports. Winning isn't everything. In addition, children shouldn’t be allowed to continue to play when they
are injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health isn’t as
important as winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.
1. Which is described as the main cause of more aggressive playing?
A. Adults B. Children C. Other players D. Children’s sports
2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Children should be taught better values.

PASSAGE 10
When your mobile phone runs out of battery power, all you have to do to get it working again is to charge
it up. Imagine if you could do the same thing with your car. Researchers at car companies are developing
cars that plug into electric sockets. These vehicles might become the cars of the future.
Presently, most cars use petrol. Unfortunately, burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide gas, and when a
large amount of this gas and other greenhouse gases are trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere, they cause global
warming. Hybrid vehicles have already been developed and are being driven. These cars get their power
from both petrol and electricity; they are able to travel longer distances with less petrol. Plug-in hybrids will
be even more advanced as they are designed to be powered mainly by electricity and use only a small
amount of petrol. It might be some time before the cars will become available to the public but if they do, it
will be a major breakthrough for transport. The cars are called plug-in hybrids and they get most of their
power from electricity, just like other electrical devices like mobile phones and laptops. This technology
would significantly reduce the amount of petrol that people use. For countries that depend on other oil
producing countries for their petrol supply this could be a great advantage.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to develop hybrid cars.
B. Cars running on petrol.
C. How to reduce gas.
D. Cars of the future.
2. According to the passage, researchers are developing.
A. cars that do not need a battery
B. electric cars that don’t need to be charged
C. cars that never run out of battery power
D. electric cars whose battery can be recharged
3. According to the passage, this new technology would be a great advantage for.
