Almost all our energy comes from oil, coal and natural gas. We call them fossil fuels. The earth’s
fossil fuels are running out. What would happen if there were no oil, coal and gas on earth?
Scientists are trying to find and use other alternative sources of energy. We can use energy
from the sun, the wind and the water.
Solar energy is unlimited. It supplies all the energy used to grow plants, to evaporate water for
rain, and to maintain the temperature of the planet. All are necessary for human life. If we’re able to
collect solar energy, we’ll be sure to make good use of this abundant source of power.
Another source of energy from nature is the wind. Wind power is clean and plentiful. Energy
from the wind has been used for centuries to move ships, grind grain, pump water and do other kinds
of work. In more recent time, wind power has been used to generate electricity.
Water can also provide power. For a long time, people have used water to power machines.
Some early uses of water power were to mill grain, saw wood and power machinery for the textile
industry. Today water power is mostly used to generate electricity.
11. We are asking the question “What would happen if there were no oil, coal and gas on earth?” because ___.
A. we are now depending so much on fossil fuels.
B. we are looking forward to seeing great changes.
C. we are looking for other alternative sources of energy.
D. other sources of energy can come from the sun, the wind and the water.
12. Which of the following can NOT be used as alternative sources of energy?

Read the passage, then answer the questions below

Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn't cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from the Sun.

At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal and gas, oil or nuclear power. This power could be provided by the Sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total population.

Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roofs of a house and the Sun's energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy, too.

Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all buildings will be heated by solar energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2015.

How long can the solar energy be stored?

Đọc đoạn văn chọn trả lời đúng cho các câu hỏi.
Most people will praise many technological gadgets that they use in their everyday lives.
Technology is developing at a very fast rate, and what most people did not even think could be real

ĐÀO THỊ THỦY CHUNG
a few years ago is now becoming a reality. Although many will use and advertise modern
technology for many of its achievements and advancements, what many don’t realize is that it has
affected and continues to affect society and people in general in a negative way.
Newspaper companies, as we all know, have been hit very hard by the advancements in
technology. Big newspapers have been forced to either lay off a percentage of their work force or
shut down altogether because news is readily available for free on the Internet. Music does not
have to be purchased at music stores any more because MP3 files are readily available on the
Internet as well, thus causing them to shut their doors for good. The movie industry has also been
hit hard because DVD sales have decreased since people can pay for and download their favorite
movies online.
Technology has its benefits, but when you take a look at how people communicate with one
another, you will quickly see that it has a negative impact. Modern technology has allowed people
to communicate with just about anyone they want to at any given time. The fact remains that
people do not interact personally with one another as often as they used to. This has created a
barrier for face-to-face communication among people because they no longer have to hold a
meeting in an office or they no longer have to call friends or family members together to wish
them a happy birthday or congratulate them on their recent success.
As a result, people don’t feel the urgent need to step outside of their home to find
entertainment, such as participating in a dynamic game of basketball with friends, meeting a friend
at a coffee shop, etc.
26. According to the first paragraph, modern technology _________________
A. is developing rapidly B. comes true. C. benefits us a lot D.
has its disadvantages
27. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ___
A. newspaper companies B. advancements C. music stores D. MP3 files
28. The author shows us the negative effects of the technology by _____.
A. telling some stories B. giving some examples
C. listing some figures D. doing some
experiments
29. What does he underlined word “interact” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. argue B. consult C. communicate D. work
30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The negative effects of advancing technology B. The benefits of the
modern technology
C. The development of the modern technology D. The social problems caused by the
technology

SECTION III: READING (5.0 points)
Part 1: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following
questions. Write your answer (A, B, C, or D) in the numbered boxes.
Since ancient times, one of the most common materials people have utilized to make things
with is wood. Wood is used to make houses, buildings, and other structures. People also
make a large number of smaller objects with it.
The desire to make finished products more beautiful appears to be ingrained in huma n
nature. On account of this fact, for thousands of years, people have carved and shaped
wooden objects to make them more appealing to the eye. Humans have additionally tended
to create both religious and ceremonial objects from wood. In fact, all around the world,
countless cultures have made use of ceremonial wood carvings. These objects often reflect
the spirit of the people who made them, and each of them tends to hold a special
significance as well.
One of the most common types of wood carvings is the mask. People in many cultures in
Asia, Africa, and North America have made ceremonial wooden masks. In Africa, for
instance, large numbers of tribes use wooden masks for vari ous spiritual rituals. These
masks are often in the form of animals that are sacred to the tribes. In other cases, the masks
have human forms. The faces, however, may not be exactly humanlike. For instance, the
faces can be distorted, having wider, longer, smaller, or larger features than normal. The
masks may be carved to give them ugly or frightening appearances as well. And, on other
occasions, the masks are made to look as beautiful as possible.
While masks tend to be fairly small, other wood carvings can be enormous. Among the
largest of all ceremonial wood carvings is the totem p ole. Totem poles have been built by
several Native American tribes that reside in the northwestern part of North America. They
are normally made to represent families, or they may honor significant historical events.
Some even tell stories. A typical totem pole has several individual carvings on it. Each
carving represents a different part of the family history, event, or story. Most totem poles
have human or animal faces, as well as other figures, carved in them. They are so large that
they are made from e ntire trees. Once the trees are cut down, master craftsmen work on
them. When completed, they may or may not be painted. Then, the totem poles are
positioned in places of honor and placed upright.

A LANGUAGE EVERYONE KNOWS

There is one language we all speak, no matter what country we live in; the language of numbers.

The language of numbers is called MATHEMATICS. You are learning it in school now. The simplest kind is called ARITHMATIC. In high school and college you will learnnother kind of mathematics. To help all of us with mathematics, machine have been invented. They let us do problems faster and with fewer mistake. We know that the abacus or countingboard was first of these machines. It was invented many thousands of years ago, but it is still being used in China, Japan and other countries. Today, computers are used all over the world. These computers seem to think. Of courae, they reallydon't. They do only what people tell them to do. But they do it much better and faster than a person. Inside m acomputer may look very confusing to you. But the people who run it know just what to do. They can make a computer store up facts and give them to other people. They can make it slove hard problems and help us to live better. Like people all over theo world, these machines speak the same language : NUMBERS

1. ....... The simplest kind of mathemaitcs is Arithmetics

2. ....... In high school and college you will learn arithmetic.

3. .......Machines do problems faster than men.

4. .......The counting board is no longer being used in the world.

5. .......Computers were invented a thousand years ago.
