The history of clinic nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizers food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate protein associate with certain foods.

The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called “the vitamin period”. Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described. As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At the point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them.

In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950’s to midd1960’s, vitamin therapy began to fall into disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular. It was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamins sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety health-related conditions. Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerate

As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health crisis conditions that when applied to long term problems of nutrition that lead chronic health problem.

A. The effects of vitamins in the human body.

B. The history of food preferences from the 19th century to the present.

C. The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study.

D. Nutritional practices of the 19th century.

Q37: It can be inferred from the passages that which of the following discoveries was made during the first era in the history of nutrition?

A. Protein was recognized as an essential component of diet.

B. Vitamins were synthesized from foods.

C. Effective technique of weight loss were determined.

D. Certain food were found to be harmful to good health.

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 from 43 to 50.

Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effect of global warming. Scientists have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration patterns due to warmer temperatures.

With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland blocking their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For instance, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but have nowhere farther to go.

Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further warming. The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, many not be able to adjust quickly enough and may disappear.

Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral. Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching and death of coral reefs around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.

Q43: Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flower to        .

A. die instantly         B. bloom earlier       C. become lighter     D. lose colour

Q44: According to paragraph 2, when their habitats grow warmer, animals tend to move   .

A. south – eastwards and down mountainsides toward lower elevations.

B. north – westwards and up mountainsides toward higher elevations.

C. toward the North Pole and down mountainsides toward lower elevations.

D. toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher elevations.

Q45: The pronoun “those” in paragraph 2 refers to       .

A. species      B. ecosystems           C. habitats                 D. areas

Q46: The phrase “dwindling sea ice” in paragraph 2 refers to             .

A. the frozen water in the Artic

B. the violent Arctic Ocean

C. the melting ice in the Arctic

D. the cold ice in the Arctic

Q47: It is mentioned in the passage that if the global temperature rose by 2 or 3 Celsius degrees,        .

A. half of the earth’s surface would be flooded

B. the sea level would rise by 20 centimetres

C. water supply would decrease by 50 percent

D. 20 to 50 percent of species could become extinct

Q48: According to the passage, if some species are not able to adjust quickly to warmer temperatures,             .

A. they may be endangered

B. they can begin to develop

C. they will certainly need water

D. they move to tropical forests

Q49: The word “fragile” in paragraph 4 most probably means            .

A. very large B. easily damaged    C. rather strong         D. pretty hard

 Q50: The bleaching of coral reefs as mentioned in paragraph 4 indicates     .

A. the water absorption of coral reefs

B. the quick growth of marine mammals

C. the blooming phase of sea weeds

D. the slow death of coral reefs

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 following questions from 10 to 16.

In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the body. The fat soluble vitamins, A, D, E and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good sources of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the body’s fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach, this increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten. Fats add variety, taste, and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods. Fatty deposits in the body have an insulating and protective value. The curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits.

Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly, and their reproductive systems are damaged. Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and hence are called essential fatty acids. They also are required by a number of other animals but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans.

Question 10. This passage probably appeared in which of the following?

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 following questions from 22 to 28.

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.

Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.

However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such a region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.

Question 22. What does the passage mainly discuss?
     A. The economic impact of air pollution.
     B. What constitutes an air pollutant.
     C. How much harm air pollutants can cause.
     D. The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere.
Question 23. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _____.
     A. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas
     B. most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled
     C. the definition of air pollution will continue to change
     D. a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities
Question 24. For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling air pollution?
     A. They function as part of a purification process.
     B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.
     C. They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants.
     D. They have existed since the Earth developed.
Question 25. According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions _____.
     A. can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants
     B. can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants
     C. will damage areas outside of the localized regions
     D. will react harmfully with natural pollutants

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 following questions from 10 to 14.

Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular?

Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.

It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.

Question 10. With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?
     A. The advantages of telecommuting.
     B. A definition of telecommuting.
     C. An overview of telecommuting.
     D. The failure of telecommuting.

Question 11. The phrase “of no consequence” means _____.
     A. of no use         B. of no good                        C. unimportant         D. irrelevant

Question 12. The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting, EXCEPT _____.
     A. the opportunities for advancement.
     B. the different system of supervision.
     C. the lack of interaction with a group.
     D. The work place is in the home.

Question 13. The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees _____.
     A. need regular interaction with their families.
     B. are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office.
     C. feel that a work area in their home is away from the office.
     D. are ignorant of telecommuting.

Question 14. When Business Week published “The Portable Executive”, it implied that _____.
     A. systems for managing telecommuters were not effective.

     B. there was resistance on the part of many managers about telecommuting.
     C. the trend for telecommuting was optimistic.
     D. most telecommuters were satisfied with their work.

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 following questions from 10 to 14.

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".

The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.

The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.

The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.

Question 10. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. How to reduce garbage disposal

B. What people often understand about the term 'recycle'

C. What is involved in the recycling movement

D. How to live sensitively to the environment

Question 11. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT:

A. buy high-quality product                                               B. buy simply-wrapped things

C. reuse cups                                                                         D. buy fewer hamburgers
Question 12. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?

A. Because people will soon throw them away.

B. Because they have to be repaired many times.

C. Because customers change their ideas all the time.

D. Because they produce less energy.
Question 13. What best describes the process of reuse?

A. The bottles are collected, washed, returned and filled again.

B. The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed.

C. The bottles are washed, retuned, filled again and collected.

D. The bottles are collected, returned filled again and washed.
Question 14 What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?

A. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings.                       B. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil.

C. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil.               D. TV sets and aluminum cans

5. Take up (nhặt lên, cầm lên)

Đáp án A, c và D dù theo nghĩa nào cũng không phù hợp khi đứng trong câu. Đáp án B với nghĩa “chọn” phù hợp với văn cảnh vì việc tìm đọc sách là việc phải đưa ra các sự lựa chọn.

Question 3: Chọn B

Tạm dịch: . . . That is         interesting point of view:

Đây là quan điểm thú vị

A. a     B. An                          C. the                         D. X

Loại ngay đáp án A vì intersting bắt đầu bằng nguyên âm, không thể đi với "a". Vì “point of view” lần đầu được nhãc tới nên dùng “the” không hợp lý, tiếp tục loại đáp án C. Không thể không sử dụng mạo từ trong trường hợp này, loại D.

Vậy chọn đáp án B là hợp lý.

Question 4: Chọn A

Tạm dịch: That is an interesting point of view worth Đây là một quan điểm thú vị cần kỹ càng hơn.

5. Exploration (n) (tìm hiểu)
5. Explore (v) (tìm hiểu)
5. Explorer (n) (người tìm hiểu)
5. Explorative (adj) (có tính thăm dò)

Có cấu trúc worth + Ving hoặc worth + noun/noun phrase. Loại đáp án B vì động từ ờ dạng nguyên thể. Loại đáp án D vì là tính từ. Đáp án A và c đều là danh từ nhưng không thể sử dụng đáp án D tính từ “further”: kỹ càng, sâu rộng không đi với danh từ chỉ người.

Question 5: Chọn A

Tạm dich: ... Not only that, we can                       vast amounts of information through reading in a very short time: ... Không chỉ vậy, chúng ta có thể _________ một khối lượng lớn thông tin qua việc đọc trong một thời gian rất ngắn

5. Digest (tiếp thu)
5. Inhale (hít vào)
5. Breathe (hít thở)
5. Eat (ăn)

Đối với tân ngữ lả “khối lượng lớn thông tin” thì ta không đì với động từ ăn, hít vào hay hít thờ. “Digest” có nghĩa là tiêu hóa. Ngoài ra khi nói tới việc tiếp thu một lượng kiến thức lớn thì chúng ta cũng sử dụng “digest”.

Question 6: Chọn B

Không cần “ the” trước cấu trúc “ at home”. Bố mẹ của Thomas và vụ cướp đã xác định nên phải có quán từ “the” phía trước.

Question 7: Chọn C

Cấu trúc to prefer to do something kết hợp với bị động với động từ to V: V₁ + to be P₂

Question 8: Chọn A

Tạm dịch: Phát hiện là một bước đột phả lớn cho các công nhân nghiên cứu,

5. Breakthrough (bước đột phá)
5. Break-in (cuộc đột nhập)Breakdown (sự suy sụp)
5. Breakout (sự nổ ra)

Question 9: Chọn D

Tạm dịch: Tôi tình cơ thoáng thây mike khi tôi đang qua đường ngày hôm qua.

5. Lost touch with: mất liền lạc với
5. Kept an eye on: để mat tới, chú ý tới
5. Paid attention to: tập trung, chú ý tới
5. Caught sight of: thoáng nhìn thấy

Question 10: Chọn B

Để thể hiện hi vọng trái với ý kiến được đưa ra sử dụng cấu trúc I hope not (Tôi hi vọng là không). Thể hiện hi vọng đồng với ý kiến được đưa ra sử dụng I hope so (Tôi hy vọng vậy).

Question 11: Chọn A

Cấu trúc nhượng bộ: Adj / adv + as / though + s + verb; mặc dù ...

Question 12: Chọn C

Tạm dịch: Ở Mỹ, không có bang nào ngoài Hawaii là đảo.

Mệnh đề quan hệ có từ định lượng đứng trước: most/none/all/both ../whom/which Vì các bang còn lại là số nhiều hơn 2, ờ dạng phủ định nên ta dùng “none of’.

Question 13: Chọn B

5. It‘s on the tip of my tongue: gần nghĩ ra

Question 14: Chọn A

5. Narrow -minded: báo thú

Question 15: Chọn B

A check up: kiểm tra sức khỏe định kì
