Read the following passage carefully, choose the item (A, B, C, or D) that best answer each of the

questions about it. Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which

he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total

work for a degree consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending university a student will

probably attend two terms each year. It is possible to spread to period of work for the degree over a longer

period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course,

though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.

For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is useful for the

student to show to coming employers. Most of the students feel the pressure of work, but in spite of this some

students still find time for great activity in student affairs. The students are interested in elections to positions in

student organization. The effective work of keeping orders is usually performed by students who advise the

university authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to

appear before a student court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the system includes a certain

amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions is much respected and it will be of importance

to him later in his career.

Wild animals (and wild plants) and the wild places where they live are seriously threatened almost everywhere.

One species has become extinct in each year of this century. But many hundreds are now in danger. Lack of

attention would lead to the rapid advance of the process of extinction.

Already many kinds of wild animals has been so reduced in number that their role in the ecosystem is forgotten.

Animals like the great apes, the whales, seals etc. thought to be in danger of extinction.

But even more important, perhaps than individual kinds of animals and plants, whole habitats are in danger of

vanishing: marshes are being drained, and the world forests, especially tropical forests are being cut down to

satisfy man’s needs of timber and paper.

What would our world be like if all the wild animals and wild plants vanished?- Would our life still exist then?

1. What would happen to the human beings if the wild life vanished?

A. Many species would quickly become extinct.

B. The human life would be seriously threatened.

C. Species would go on dying out.

D. Tropical forests would be cut down.

2. What is more important than individual kinds of animals and plants?

Read the passage and choose the best answer The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than an

American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been

led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among American groups.

The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the

traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still

living at home. Of the final one, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people,

usually women over sixty-five years old. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried

people who choose to live together, and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with at

least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans

are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one.

1. With what topic is the passage mainly concerned ?

A. The traditional American family. B. The nuclear family.

C. The current American family. D. The ideal family.

2. The author implies that ………………………….

A. there have always been a wider variety of family arrangements in the United States.

B. racial, ethnic, and religious groups have presented the traditional family structure.

C. the ideal American family in the best structure.

D. fewer married couples are having children.

3. The word “current” in the fourth sentence could be best replaced by which of the following ?

A. typical B. present C. perfect D. traditional

4. According to the passage, married couples whose children have grown or who have no children represent

……………………..

A. 33 percent of households. B. 20 percent of households.

C. 7 percent of households. D. 3 percent of households.

5. Who generally constitutes a one-person household ?

A. A single man in his twenties. B. A elderly man.

C. A single woman in her late sixties. D. A divorced woman.

Read the passage and choose the best answer

Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the US have also always stressed

“character” or “social” “skills” through extracular activities, including organized sports. Because most schools

start at around 8 o’clock every morning and classes often do not finish until 3 or 4 o’clock in the afternoon, such

activities mean that many students do not return home until the early evening. There is usually a very broad


24

range of extracurricular activities available. Most schools, for instance, publish their own student newspapers,

and some have their own radio stations. Almost all have student orchestras, bands, and choirs.

Many different sports are also available and most schools share their facilities- swimming pools, tennis courts,

tracks, and stadiums-with the public. Often the students themselves organize and support school activities and

raise money through car washes, baby-sitting, or by moving lawns. Parents and local business often also help a

group that, for example, has a chance to go to a state music competition, to compete in some sports

championship, or take a camping trip. Such activities not only give pupils a chance to be together outside of

normal classes, they also help develop a feeling of “school spirit” among the students and in the community .

1. How many hours do the children stay at school a day ?

A. eight B. seven C. six D. four

2. Which extracurricular school activities are not mentioned ?

A. writing newspapers B. singing in a choir C. helping old people D. working in a radio station

3. Which sports facilities are not mentioned in the text ?

A. swimming pools B. tennis courts C. playground D. stadiums

4. What do the students do to support school activities ?

A. look after a baby B. repair cars C. sell lawn movers D. sell newspapers

5. Which activities are not helped by parents and local business ?

A. performing at a state music competition

B. working in a TV station

C. playing in a sport competition

D. having a camping trip

Long ago, scientists studied the viruses that cause diseases. They found out that after a person has had a

disease, he seldom gets it again. He is said to be immune to that disease. This means that his body has developed

a way of fighting the germs. However, people do not seem to become immune from colds. This fact puzzled the

scientists for some time.

The scientists already knew that the cold is caused by a very tiny kind of germ called a virus. Therefore, they

tried to capture cold virus. They wanted to study it in the laboratory. They knew that if they succeeded, they

would be able to find a cure for colds.

Finally, a scientist did manage to grow cold germs in a laboratory. He discovered that there are a hundred

kinds of cold viruses. Each of them can cause people to have colds. If a person becomes immune from some,

there are still many others that can infect him.

Fortunately, a person develops more immunities as he grows older. That is why adults are less likely to catch

cold than children.

Câu 41: Why don’t people become immune from colds?

A. Because people are not healthy.

B. Because the virus is strong.

C. Because the germs are too small.

D. Because there are many kinds of cold viruses.

Câu 42: Which of these people are most likely to have cold?


28

A. scientists B. doctors C. old people D. young children

Câu 43: A person becomes immune against a disease ……………………… .

A. by growing germs that cause it B. after having caught it once

C. after studying the virus that causes it D. by capturing the virus in the laboratory

Câu 44: By growing germs in the laboratory, the scientists discovered that ………………… .

A. there is a complete cure for colds

B. colds are caused by germs and viruses

C. there are many different types of viruses that cause colds

D. there is a way of developing immunity against colds

Câu 45: The word “fact” in line 4 refers to …………………… .

A. why people do not get immune from colds

B. how scientists were unsuccessful in capturing the cold virus

C. the method of capturing cold germs to study

D. how our bodies develop immunities as we grow older
