Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct word or phrase for each of the blanks.

A long time ago, when ancient Rome was still an empire, people of that time used similar weights and measures. The standards for these weights and measures were established by the Romans, who kept these standards in a temple in Rome. All standards for measuring weight or distance were the same, whether in Spain or in Syria. But then the Roman Empire fell, and these standards disappeared. Today, standards vary from place to place throughout the world. Tourists who drive from the United States in Canada, for example, are surprised when they buy gasoline for their cars.

A gallon of gas costs more than they are accustomed to paying. They complain that prices are much higher in Canada than in the United States. Then they discover that they can drive farther on a Canadian gallon than on a United States gallon. Is it a different kind of gas? No, it is a different kind of gallon. Canada uses the British, or imperial, gallon that is about one-fifth larger than the United States gallon. Four quarts equal a gallon and two pints equal a quart in both countries. But Canada’s quarts and pints are larger than quarts and pints in the United States. The imperial gallon equals 277.42 cubic inches while the gallon in the United States is equal to 231 cubic inches. Measured in ounces, Canada’s large gallon holds 160 fluid ounces, while the smaller United States gallon holds no more than 128 fluid ounces. From these figures, it is easy to see why Americans can drive farther on the Canadian gallon than on the American gallon. Someday, countries may follow the example of the ancient Romans and make weights and measures the same for every nation.

Câu 4: Why are American tourists surprised?

A. The price of a Canadian gallon of gas seems high.

Ask most people for their list of top ten of fears, and you’ll be sure to find (33)________ burgled is fairly high on the list. An informal survey I carried among friends at a party last week revealed that eight of them had had their homes (34)________ into more than twice, and two had been burgled five times. To put the record straight, (35)________ of my friend owns valuable paintings or a sideboard full of family silverware. Three of them are students, in fact. The most typical burglar, it seems, involved the theft of easily transportable items - the television, the video, even food from freezer.

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.

The sea has always interested people. From it they can get food, minerals, and treasures. For

thousands of years, they sailed on the sea. But they could not go far beneath its surface. People want to explore deep into the sea. However, they are not fishes. Because people must breathe air, they cannot stay under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, men and women face even more dangers and problems. A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. Divers can wear diving suits and have air pumped to them from above. They can carry tanks of air on their back and breathe through a hose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water push against a diver deep in the sea. The diver’s body is under great pressure. When divers are under great pressure, their blood takes in some of the gases they breathe. As they rise too quickly, the gases in their blood form bubbles. Divers then suffer from the bends. The bends can cause divers to double up in pain. Bends can even kill divers.

Câu 44: Which statement does the story lead you to believe?

A. Humans are not at home deep in the sea.

B. All divers get the bends sooner or later.

 Foot racing is a popular activity in the United States. It is seen not only as a competitive sport but also as a way to exercise, to enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded people, and to donate money to a good cause. Though serious runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train at all.

Those not competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time or simply to enjoy the fun and exercise. People of all ages, from those of less than one year (who may be pushed in strollers) to those in their eighties, enter into this sport. The races are held on city streets, on college campuses, through parks, and in suburban areas, and they are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length.

The largest foot race in the world is the 12-kilometer Bay to Breakers race that is held in San Francisco every spring. This race begins on the east side of the city near San Francisco Bay and ends on the west side at the Pacific Ocean. There may be 80,000 or more people running in this race through the streets and hills of San Francisco. In the front are the serious runners who compete to win and who might finish in as little as 34 minutes. Behind them are the thousands who take several hours to finish. In the back of the race are those who dress in costumes and come just for fun. One year there was a group of men who dressed like Elvis Presley, and another group consisted of firefighters who were tied together in a long line and who were carrying a fire hose. There was even a bridal party, in which the bride was dressed in a long white gown and the groom wore a tuxedo. The bride and groom threw flowers to bystanders, and they were actually married at some point along the route.

Champagne, the king of wines and wine of kings, tastes all the better when it is drunk from

an elegant, fine-quality glass. That, however, is only one of thousands of ways glass is used today.

And for all those different uses, many different types of glass are produced. Glass products are

manufactured in different ways. Today, glass is blown by hand in the traditional way which the

Roman first developed, but now this work is done by robots, too. Generally, in industry, much faster

methods of mass production are needed. Often, for example, glass is pressed into the necessary

shape by machine. Glass is shaped in other ways too. For example, it is made into long, very thin

fibres. Fibres like these are required to make the fibre-optic cables that help to build the information

Super-Highway around the world.
