Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
If you’d like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your vocabulary. In order to
do this, you have to practice a lot. I’m afraid there is not a shortcut for this. But there are many effective
ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short stories, comics, newspapers, magazines, etc.
depending on your English level. As you read, you can try to guess the meanings of unknown words from
the context of the sentence. If you cannot, then look up the definition in a dictionary. English to English
dictionary should be your first choice and keep the translator as last. Another way of building vocabulary
is to watch movies in English which will also help with pronunciation. Try to be involved with the
language as much as you can. Keep a vocabulary notebook and write down a few words each day. Keep
in mind that you have to revise them regularly. In my opinion, to communicate with people all you need
is words. Even if you just say the words one after another, people most likely will understand what you
mean regardless of the order of the words and grammar.

There are many kinds of books in the world. They fall into two categories which are fiction and
nonfiction. Well-received books from either kind are even made into movies and games.
Fiction books are written using the imagination. The characters and events surrounding them are
not real. Fiction books can be found in abundance at bookstores and libraries. They can even be found
on the shelves of comic shops and game shops. Often, fiction books are written in two or three
combinations from the science, fantasy and classical groups. The most popular kind among youngsters is
probably in the area of fantasy. Anything involving magic and witchcraft, spacecraft and aliens, or
superheroes and time travel may be used in this category.
Many different kinds of non-fiction books are available on the market. These are written about
facts, real people, real events and real places. Most of the time, non-fiction books are written by people
who have experienced or witnessed the happening themselves. Real-life stories can also be contributed
by readers and thus found in magazines and newspapers.

mainland and from other Pacific islands, and Hawaii has become a place with traditions from several

the questions.
Eating a balanced diet means choosing a wide variety of foods and drinks from all the food groups.
It also means eating certain things in moderation, namely saturated fat, cholesterol, refined sugar, and
salt. The goal is to take in nutrients you need for health at the recommended levels. You can get the
most nutrients by choosing foods with a high-nutrient density. Nutrient-dense foods provide substantial
amounts of vitamins and minerals and relatively few calories, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, lean
meat and fish, and whole grains and beans.
Low-nutrient dense foods have few vitamins but lots of calories, such as candy bars, soda, donuts
and onion rings. Vegetable sources of protein, such as nuts, beans, and whole grains are great choices
and offer vitamins, minerals and healthy fibers. The best protein choices are poultry and fish. For those
who love red meat, you should stick with the leanest cuts, choose moderate portion sizes, and make it
only an occasional part of your diet. Developing healthy eating habits is not as confusing or as restrictive
as you may imagine. The first principle of a healthy diet is simply to eat a wide variety of foods. This is
important because different foods make different nutritional contributions. Fruits, vegetables, grains,
and legumes-foods high in complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, low in fat and free of
cholesterol-should make up the bulk of the calories you consume. The rest should come from low-fat
dairy products, lean meat and poultry, and fish.

A. candy bars B. soft drinks C. donuts and onion rings D. peanuts

the questions.
The lifestyle of people living in urban areas of big cities like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi is different
from that of people living in rural areas of villages etc. Life in the city is often modern and complicated.
City life is busy and most adults are working. The lifestyle is competitive and the daily routine consists of
work till the evenings and then spending time with family or friends at night. Most of the inhabitants in

factory workers and street vendors etc. The cost of living in the urban areas is more than that in the

strong contrast to life in urban areas and larger cities. People work in groups and take up jobs as farmers
and fishermen. Everybody is helpful to one another and is involved in a variety of activities such as
raising livestock, making handicrafts and farming etc. Along the coastal line, fishermen are very
dependent upon the sea as it is their only means of livelihood. These fishermen are thus very

the questions.
Sleep is very important. Did you know that sleep is more important than food? A person who does
not sleep dies at a younger age than a person who does not eat. Let’s say you go to sleep 12 hours later
than you usually do. It will take your body about three weeks to return to normal. We spend about one-
third (1/3) of our lives in sleep. That’s about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day.
Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. A teenager needs 9 to 10 hours of
sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need only 3 hours
of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5
hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older. Most people have some nights when they cannot
sleep. About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people cannot fall asleep
or stay asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia. The word insomnia means “no sleep.” Some
people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” They may sleep lightly and wake up several times. In the morning,
they only remember the times they were awake, so they think they were awake all night. This is not a
new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to
make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statesman and inventor, had four beds. He moved
from one to the other to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France had 413 beds and hoped to fall asleep in
one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had a different way. He lay on his side across the
end of the bed!

the questions.
There are many advantages and drawbacks of city life that you need to know before deciding
whether to settle down there or not.
Cities are large and highly populated areas and therefore often seem like very crowded places.
Because the population is more concentrated, there are often traffic jams, packed public transportation
and streets swarming with people in a rush. Pollution is one of the major problems caused by high
population density. Motor vehicle emissions contribute to low quality of air and are a major component
of smog in some large cities. Another thing to have in mind if you want to reside in urban areas is the
high prices of accommodations. For the price of an apartment in the city, one can buy a large property in
the country, with lots of indoor and also outdoor space.
At the same time, there are many advantages of living in the city. Everything you may need is close
by starting with hospitals, banks, educational institutions, shops, etc. Cities also have a developed
infrastructure like electricity, telecommunication, water and transportation facilities. While in the city
you can get anywhere by public transportation or a taxi relatively quickly, to get anywhere in the
countryside you have to have a vehicle and drive. If you are unemployed and are looking for a job, the
city provides a lot more employment opportunities. High-paying jobs in finance, medicine, law, retail or
advertising tend to be found in the cities. One can also work remotely, but that means fewer career
options.
Consider carefully to have your own choice!

with friends, and play online games. But some people are addicted to the Internet. They just can’t turn it
off. Being online for (31) ____________ hours at a time does not mean you have a problem. The
Internet is very useful. Online, you can pay your bills, buy clothes, and read the news. There are many
good reasons to spend time online. However, people with an Internet addiction are online too much.
They don’t spend time with their friends and family. Instead, they spend their time chatting with their
Internet friends, people they have never met in real life. Some also play online games all day or night.
Some people with Internet addictions even leave (32) ____________ jobs so they can spend even more
time online! People with Internet addictions don’t just go online to shop, have fun, or do work. People
who have this problem often go online (33) ____________ they want to escape the stress and problems
in their lives. Many Internet addicts stop caring about their real lives, and focus only on their online lives.
One way Internet addicts can get help is by using special software. This software controls how much
time someone can spend online. It tells the computer to turn off the internet after a certain amount of

the questions.
Community service is a very important factor when it comes to bettering your society. Through my
own experiences and observations, I have come to support my opinion on this issue.
My experience that supports this theory involved my job last summer of 2004. I paced around the
house for a while. Finally, I decided to sit down and read the newspaper. There was a section on the
community which contained a list of volunteer activities. They ranged from helping in soup kitchens to
helping as an electrician.
I called a number and decided to spend my time taking care of the grocery shopping for an elderly
handicapped woman. She has since become a good friend. Finally, I was spending my time having fun. I
was making a difference in one woman’s life. It may not have paid in dollars. The experience and
pleasure I gained was more valuable to me than any amount of money I could have earned.
Even more significant is the value and importance of community service in our society. Without
community service in our society, many people would not know the importance of charity. Serving in
your community takes away some of the problems that exist in your society and in the world as a whole.
In conclusion, I believe that choosing to help your community through community service should
be very important to you. It is also important to the people around you. I feel that helping in your
community to benefit others will bring you good things. You will also make the person you helped feel
cared about. 36. The text is mainly about.

the questions.
Some people prefer the quiet life of the countryside. However, cities have many benefits over
villages.
Firstly, city life is very convenient. Children growing up in villages do not have as much access to
education as children in cities. Villages may not have enough children to create a school system that
goes all the way through high school; these kids must go to cities to continue their education. Cities have
multiple forms of education such as colleges and universities. More libraries and museums are available
in cities. Entertainment is readily accessible in cities in the form of movie theaters, amusement parks
and restaurants.
Secondly, the city provides better healthcare. Villages may have a local doctors’ clinic, but cities
often have multiple hospitals and doctors specializing in even rare conditions. In a city, ambulances and
firetrucks may take only minutes to arrive at the scene. In villages, getting to a hospital in an emergency
may take precious time.
Finally, it’s easier for people to have a good job and pursue their career. Villages have a smaller
population than cities, so there are fewer jobs available. Living in the city provides people with
thousands of career choices. Professionals have access to large businesses, hospitals and educational
facilities for work opportunities. People with less education can more readily find jobs in customer
service or entry-level jobs. Even specialized jobs and careers focused around the arts are viable in a city
with a large population.
I think cities bring lots of benefits to their residents. As city populations increase, so do businesses.
People have fast access to their needs and wants in cities. As time passes, more and more people all
over the world leave villages and move to cities, seeking a new life.

the questions.
From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes in the majority of countries
around the world. Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we
lived a century ago. Viet Nam is no exception although there are some aspects of life in Viet Nam that
are similar to the way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Viet Nam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the past
mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly fewer people working in this sector of
the economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be employed in manufacturing and
tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Viet Nam, which was traditionally agricultural, is transforming
into an entirely different country. While agriculture is still an important component of the Vietnamese
economy, other enterprises are accounting for an increasing amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The Vietnamese have kept many of the
characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as they were in the
past. This is best illustrated in the way they welcome foreigners. Moreover, the determination of the
people of Viet Nam has not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively and happily towards the
development of their country.
To conclude, while there are differences in past and present lifestyles, there are important
similarities. Although Viet Nam has changed in many ways, there always have been, and always will be,
the friendly welcoming smiles of the Vietnamese people.

the questions.
American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and rapid
consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks. By the
1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of America’s strongest exports as franchises for Me Donald’s
and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China.
Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to quick lunches and
dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American cultural patterns.
By the late 20lh century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating more poultry,
fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many world cuisines in
forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables available with
ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative cooking style that was
lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied than typical American cuisine. Along
with the state’s wines, California cuisine took its place among the acknowledged forms of fine dining.

Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young children learn the
letters of the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures, and world events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is a link
between watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For another thing, many TV
shows are violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause kids to be more fearful. And of
course, more time in front of the TV means less time to study. Too much TV may also be the cause of
lower grades.

watch TV as occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.

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.
On average, more than 100,000 wildfires, also called wildland fires or forest fires, destroy two
million hectares of land in the U.S every year. A wildfire moves at speeds of about 20 kilometers an hour
and can last for weeks, consuming everything - trees, brush, homes, and humans - in its path.
There are three conditions for a wildfire. Oxygen is necessary for a fire to bum. Heat sources help
start the wildfire. Although most wildfires are started by people, natural factors like lightning, hot winds,
and even the sun can all provide enough heat to start a wildfire.
Firefighters fight wildfires by removing the conditions for a wildfire to bum. Traditional methods
include using water and fire retardants to put out the fires. Firefighters also fight wildfires with
“controlled burning”. These controlled forest fires remove small trees, bushes, and ground litter from a
forest. This will deprive a wildfire of fuel and prevent future forest fires.
Although often harmful and destructive to humans, wildfires play an important role in nature. Even
healthy forests contain dead trees and decaying plant matter. When a fire turns them to ashes, nutrients
return to the soil. They also remove sick plants and harmful insects from a forest. And by burning
through thick leaves and branches, wildfires allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, making it possible
for a new generation of trees to grow.
21. What does the phrase “deprive a wildfire of fuel” in the third paragraph mean?
A. create fuel for a wildfire B. provide a wildfire with fuel
C. save fuel for a wildfire D. take away fuel from a wildfire
22. What does the word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. wildfires B. forests C. ashes D. nutrients

A. They bum all leaves and branches. B. They bum sick plants and harmful insects.
C. They bum a new generation of trees. D. They bum nutrients in the soil to ashes.
24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Benefits of wildfires B. Causes of wildfires
C. Worldwide wildfires D. Controlled wildfires
