Exercise I: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, CorD to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
From the start of his career as a writer, Mark Twain was fascinated with inventions. As a result, he chose to spend much of his available income on various types of inventions, generally without much success. In fact, he lost most of the money he invested. By 1887, the 49-year-old author had invested most of his money in one project, the Paige typesetting machine.
Twain expected the Paige machine to be completed in 1889. Unfortunately, the machine was never completely finished, and by the early 1890s, Twain knew he was in a serious financial situation. He worked hard to take care of his problems by producing a number of books in a row. He wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1892), An American Claimant (1892), Tom Sawyer Abroad (1893), and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894). However, all of these works did not solve his financial problems, and he was forced to declare bankruptcy.
This passage mainly discusses how an author_______.
A. invested poorly in inventions B. wrote so many books
C. created his famous works D. created a successful invention
According to the passage, what interested Mark Twain?
A. giving investment advice B. work as a typesetter
C. the world of banking D. new ideas and products
Where was the majority of Twain's money in 1887?

C. invested in one invention D. invested in his writings
It can be inferred from the passage that the Paige machine was_______.
A. created by Mark Twain B. ready in the 1890s
C. close to being completed D. a great success

Exercise II: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,Cor D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
I get a lot of letters at this time of year from many people who have a cold which won't go away. There are many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold. That's why it is often difficult to know what to do. We know that colds are rarely "dangerous", except for weak people such as the elderly or young babies. These people are always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant. Of course, you can buy a lot of medicines. They will help to make your cold less unpleasant. However, you must remember that nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away faster. Any strong medicine used to make you feel better could be dangerous if you are already taking drugs for some other illness. Thus, check with your chemist or doctor to see whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy. Please don't try to drive if they do! Lastly, whatever you may be told about magic foods or drinks, the best answer is to keep yourself strong and healthy. You'll have less chance of catching a cold. And if you do, it shouldn't be so bad.
The writer of the passage wants_______.
to write in an amusing way
to give general advice
C. to complain about his/her health
D. to persuade people to have more foods and drinks
Colds are_______.

Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow foods. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming deserts all the time. Scientists may not change the desert in time.
Why is more and more land becoming deserts? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.

Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people. At home, it is always possible to speak Vietnamese if you want to and the learning is slower.
On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have to make big changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school.
So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK. This is simply not possible for most people, so being at home is the only viable option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.
21 .What is probably the topic of the passage?
How many people learn English
The best way to learn English
C. English schools in England and America
D. Learning English in Viet Nam
What is one of the advantages of going to the UK to learn English?
There are no Vietnamese people in Britain.
There are very good teachers of English there.
C. You will have to speak English and not your language.
D.The language schools in the UK are always better.
What is one of the advantages of staying at home to learn English?
The teachers aren't very good in Britain.
You have to work too hard to make money in Britain.
C. You can concentrate on learning English only.
D. Your life can continue more or less as it was before.
The underlined word "viable" in the passage probably means_____.
A. possible B. understandable C. important D. careful
People who don't have a lot of time and money should_____.
learn English in Britain
try and speak English in class more often
C. go to America to learn English
D. speak English more outside the class

In 79 A.D., the ancient Roman city of Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of a nearby volcano, Mt. Vesuvius. Although many other cities in history have been victims to eruptions of volcanoes and their deadly gas, lava, and ash, what makes Pompeii especially interesting is what happened years later. In 1748, explorers in the Italian region where Pompeii once stood made an incredible discovery. Buried underneath layers of dirt, the city of Pompeii remained preserved.The original volcanic explosion had happened so quickly that most of the citizens were unable to escape. Their remains and the buildings of the city were still there, preserved, as if the year was still 79 A.D. instead of 1748. Some were frozen as if running from the fiery inferno while others were engaged in normal daily activities. The layers of dust had frozen the day in history.
Archeologists would later begin the careful process of excavating the now famous city from the layers of ash. The tragedy of Pompeii is the loss of the city and the approximately two thousand people who died during the eruption. Ironically, the deadly eruption helped preserve Pompeii so that no one will ever forget the name of this ancient Roman civilization.

Exercise I: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, CorD to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
From the start of his career as a writer, Mark Twain was fascinated with inventions. As a result, he chose to spend much of his available income on various types of inventions, generally without much success. In fact, he lost most of the money he invested. By 1887, the 49-year-old author had invested most of his money in one project, the Paige typesetting machine.
Twain expected the Paige machine to be completed in 1889. Unfortunately, the machine was never completely finished, and by the early 1890s, Twain knew he was in a serious financial situation. He worked hard to take care of his problems by producing a number of books in a row. He wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1892), An American Claimant (1892), Tom Sawyer Abroad (1893), and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894). However, all of these works did not solve his financial problems, and he was forced to declare bankruptcy.
This passage mainly discusses how an author_______.
A. invested poorly in inventions B. wrote so many books
C. created his famous works D. created a successful invention
According to the passage, what interested Mark Twain?
A. giving investment advice B. work as a typesetter
C. the world of banking D. new ideas and products
Where was the majority of Twain's money in 1887?
A. in a bank account B. invested in various inventions
C. invested in one invention D. invested in his writings
It can be inferred from the passage that the Paige machine was_______.
A. created by Mark Twain B. ready in the 1890s
C. close to being completed D. a great success

Exercise II: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,Cor D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
I get a lot of letters at this time of year from many people who have a cold which won't go away. There are many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold. That's why it is often difficult to know what to do. We know that colds are rarely "dangerous", except for weak people such as the elderly or young babies. These people are always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant. Of course, you can buy a lot of medicines. They will help to make your cold less unpleasant. However, you must remember that nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away faster. Any strong medicine used to make you feel better could be dangerous if you are already taking drugs for some other illness. Thus, check with your chemist or doctor to see whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy. Please don't try to drive if they do! Lastly, whatever you may be told about magic foods or drinks, the best answer is to keep yourself strong and healthy. You'll have less chance of catching a cold. And if you do, it shouldn't be so bad.
The writer of the passage wants_______.
to write in an amusing way
to give general advice
C. to complain about his/her health
D. to persuade people to have more foods and drinks
Colds are_______.
A. very dangerous B. not dangerous at all

Exercise III: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,CorD to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow foods. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming deserts all the time. Scientists may not change the desert in time.
Why is more and more land becoming deserts? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.
Some places on the earth don't have very much rain. But they still don't become deserts.This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants don't let the hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants don't let the wind blow the soil away. When a little rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.

Modern life is impossible without travelling. The fastest way of travelling is by air. With a modern airliner you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Travelling by train is slower than by air, but it has its advantages. You can see the country you are travelling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when it is possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different places. Travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, Cor D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 21 to 25.
Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people. At home, it is always possible to speak Vietnamese if you want to and the learning is slower.
On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have to make big changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school.
So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK. This is simply not possible for most people, so being at home is the only viable option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.
21 .What is probably the topic of the passage?
How many people learn English
The best way to learn English
C. English schools in England and America
D. Learning English in Viet Nam
What is one of the advantages of going to the UK to learn English?
There are no Vietnamese people in Britain.
There are very good teachers of English there.
C. You will have to speak English and not your language.
D.The language schools in the UK are always better.
What is one of the advantages of staying at home to learn English?
The teachers aren't very good in Britain.
You have to work too hard to make money in Britain.
C. You can concentrate on learning English only.
D. Your life can continue more or less as it was before.
The underlined word "viable" in the passage probably means_____.
A. possible B. understandable C. important D. careful
People who don't have a lot of time and money should_____.
learn English in Britain
try and speak English in class more often
C. go to America to learn English
D. speak English more outside the class

In 79 A.D., the ancient Roman city of Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of a nearby volcano, Mt. Vesuvius. Although many other cities in history have been victims to eruptions of volcanoes and their deadly gas, lava, and ash, what makes Pompeii especially interesting is what happened years later. In 1748, explorers in the Italian region where Pompeii once stood made an incredible discovery. Buried underneath layers of dirt, the city of Pompeii remained preserved.The original volcanic explosion had happened so quickly that most of the citizens were unable to escape. Their remains and the buildings of the city were still there, preserved, as if the year was still 79 A.D. instead of 1748. Some were frozen as if running from the fiery inferno while others were engaged in normal daily activities. The layers of dust had frozen the day in history.
Archeologists would later begin the careful process of excavating the now famous city from the layers of ash. The tragedy of Pompeii is the loss of the city and the approximately two thousand people who died during the eruption. Ironically, the deadly eruption helped preserve Pompeii so that no one will ever forget the name of this ancient Roman civilization.

The Twin Towers
The side-by-side towers in New York City, which were home to Manhattan's World Trade Center, were more commonly known as the Twin Towers.

In 2001, both towers were attacked. Two planes were flown directly into the buildings. The effect of these attacks was immediately catastrophiC. Neither building was built to withstand such structural damage, and the collapse of each building was imminent. The South tower fell in less than one hour after being attacked, and the North tower collapsed soon afterwards. Both towers were completely gone.
