VII - 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.

Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes from household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce and throw away. What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment by doing simple things.

First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling can also reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.

Second, we need to watch the amount of water used at home. It can be conserved by taking short showers instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine only when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.

Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but shouldalso try to use this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into compost for plants. The average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste every day, but we can reduce that amount by recycling and reusing.

If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more polluted.

44, The average person produces every day _______.

A. three point four pounds of waste B. thirty four pounds of waste

C. four point three pounds of waste D. forty three pounds of waste

45, If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep ______.

A. the planet from becoming less polluted B. the planet from becoming more polluted

C. the house from becoming few polluted D. the planet from becoming little polluted

Although Australia’s record in the re-use of waste paper is good, it is still necessary to use a combination of recycled fibre and ........ (3) ........ to make new paper. The paper industry has contributed positively and people have also been encouraged by .........(4) ......... to collect their waste on a regular basis. One major difficulty is the removal of ink from used paper but ......... (5) ......... are being made in this area. However, we need to learn to accept paper which is generally of a lower .........

Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.

Coal, oil, and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of irs power. However, not only are supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it's important to improve, explore and develop such alternative energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind power. Each of these alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.

Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problenı of what to do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for communities locnted far from moving water.Wind power is a pollution-free source renewable energy but it cannot be used many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Solar power renewable, it does not cause pollution and it does not add the earth's heat load. However, it ia dilficult to coilect and store. Solar power also requir eensive equipnent

Every source of energy has its disadvantages. One way to minimize them is to use less energy. Conservation efforts coupled with renewable energy resoucs wll ensure supplies of clean, affordable energy for humanity's future.

1. Coal, oil and natural gas .............

a. are very great in amount

c. pollute the atmosphere

b. will never be used up

d. supply most of its power

2. Nuclear power plants

a. are difficult to build ..............

c. are very cheap to maintain

b. pollute the atmosphere

d. create the problem of nuclear waste

3. Wind power...............

a. cannot be used in places that has strong wind

b. is never completely used up

c. is a source of pollution

d. cannot replace itself .

4. What is the adyantage of these alternatives?

a. They are environmentally friendly energy sources

b. They are non renewable forms of energy

c. They are all very practical

d. They are inexpensive to exploit

5. From the passage, it can be inferred that to solve our energy problem...................

a. we will have to stop using many of our modern conveniences

b. scientists will have to find one major source of nonpolluting energy

c. scientists will have to find ways to increase our supplies of coal, oil, and gas

d. a combination of conservation and invention will be needed

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?
A. coal/gas B. the sun/the water
C. the sun/the wind D. solar energy/nuclear power
13. Centuries ago, people used wind power to ___.
A. maintain the earth’s temperature B. get water from underground
C. grow plants D. generate electricity
14. Up till now, water energy has been used for ___.
A. similar purposes C. the textile industry
B. moving ships D. different purposes

4
15. The word “plentiful” in line 8 mostly means ___.
A. fresh B. natural C. available D. limited

Read the passage. Write T for true sentences, F for false sentences and N for the sentences containing no information.

It is great to have pen pals. In my opinion, friendship is among the meaningful relations in our life. Many of my friends have pen pals and they correspond regularly. A friend of mine once got a letter from the school mailbox and told me a lot of interesting things about her pen pal. That made me excited and I was eager to have one. Therefore, I got online and did some chatting. I was lucky to get to know a very nice Australian girl. Her name's Jenny. She and I are the same age and we have a lot of things in common.

Although my English was not very good at first, we were able to understand each other quite well. My English has improved a lot. Jenny has never been to Viet Nam. However, she thinks well of our country and our people. When she comes to Viet Nam, I will take her to some interesting places, especially our World Heritage Sites, such as Ha Long Bay, Hoi An Ancient Town, My- Son Tower. Through her mail, she tells me about her country. Thanks to Jenny, I know more and more about Australia. I hope to be an exchange student in Australia some day and we will be able to meet.
