CLOZE TEST
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 35.
In my opinion, there are many things that could be done in this college to make a real contribution
(31) ____ the conservation of the environment. As a member of the Ecology Society, I would urge you all
to put pressure on the authorities to change a few things. Firstly, there is the whole question of recycling.
It’s time this college woke up to the fact that a lot of resources are being wasted. For example, paper. The
college produces tons of waste paper every year. If the college kept waste paper separate from the other
kinds of rubbish, it could be sold for recycling, thus giving an extra source of money to buy books and other
facilities for the students. And another example is the use of plastic. Why are the drinks and the food in the
cafeteria served in plastic cups and plates (32) ____ are not recyclable ? I suggest that we use plates and
cups made from recycled paper instead of plastic. Then there is the question of cleaning. As you know,
strong detergents and cleaning products are a major cause of pollution. We can buy (33) ____ friendly
cleaning products these days, but this college doesn’t use them. It’s high time we made a big effort to
convince (34) ____ college authorities that it is worth the extra money to avoid using those products which
are non-biodegradable. Hopefully we can (35) ____ a green lifestyle in our entire college for our own sake
and for the sake of the world!

READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
In some rural agricultural societies, the collection of available fuels such as firewood, dung cake,
and agricultural waste can take 200 to 300 person-days per year. As well as being time-consuming, these
typical patterns of collection lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and ecological imbalances. In the future,
experts predict that even if food supplies are adequate for rural populations, fuel supplies for domestic use
may not be.
In the light of such considerations, a team in India has developed a solar oven for home use. The
oven is cheaply constructed, easily operated, and extremely energy-efficient. The device consists of an
inner and outer metal box, a top cover and two panes of glass. The inner box is painted black to absorb
maximum solar radiation. The space between the two boxes is filled with an insulating material, such as
rice husks, which are easily available and neither attract insects nor rot easily. An adjustable mirror on one
side of the oven box reflects the sunlight into the inside part of the oven box, boosting the temperatures by
15 - 30 degrees Celsius. This is most useful during the winter when the sun is lower. Inside the oven, a
temperature between 80 -120 degrees Celsius can be maintained. This is enough to cook food gradually but
surely. Experiments have shown that all typical food dishes can be prepared in this solar oven without loss
of taste or nutrition.
Câu 36: Which one of the following reasons is NOT mentioned for using rice husks as insulating
material?
A. They don’t rot easily B. They are easily available
C. They don’t attract insects D. They reflect sunlight
Câu 37: It can be inferred from the passage that the solar oven might prove most useful to a family
in an agricultural society because ____ .
A. it cooks food extremely quickly B. it will save time
C. it is easy to construct D. it cooks all kinds of food
Câu 38: The word “adequate” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____ .
A. enough B. of high quality C. of poor quality D. not enough
Câu 39: According to the passage, the adjustable mirror is most useful ____ .
A. at midday B. to improve taste and nutrition
C. when firewood is lacking D. during the winter
Câu 40: This passage is mainly about ____ .
A. design and use of a solar oven
B. use of rice husks in an insulation material
C. maintenance of temperature in a solar oven
D. deforestation in the rural agricultural societies
