Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 22  to 26.

In the past, technology and progress was very slow. People “invented” farming 12,000 years ago  but it took 8,000 years for the idea to go around the world. Then, about 3,500 years ago, people called “potters” used round wheels to turn and make plates. But it took hundreds of years before some clever person thought, if we join two wheels together and make them bigger, we can use them to move things.

In the last few centuries, things have begun to move faster. Take a 20th-century invention like the aeroplane, for example. The first acroplane flight on 17 December 1903 only lasted 12 seconds, and the plane only went 37 metres. It can't have been very exciting to watch, but that flight changed the world. Sixteen years later, the first plane flew across the Atlantic, and only fifty years after that, men walked on the moon. Technology is now changing our world faster and faster. So what will the future bring?

One of the first changes will be the materials we use. Scientists have just invented an amazing new material called graphene, and soon we will use it to do lots of things. With graphene batteries in your mobile, it will take a few seconds to charge your phone or download a thousand gigabytes of information! Today, we make most products in factories, but in the future, scientists will invent living materials. Then we won't make things like cars and furniture in factories - we will grow them!

Thirty years ago, people couldn't have imagined social media like Twitter and Facebook. Now we can't llve without them. But this is only the start. Right now, scientists are putting microchips in some disabled people's brains, to help them see, hear and communicate better. In the future, we may all use these technologies. We won't need smartphones to use social media or search the internet because the internet will be in our heads!

More people will go into space in the future, too. Space tourism has already begun, and a hundred years from now, there may be many hotels in space. One day, we may get most of our energy from space too. In 1941, the writer Isaac Asimov wrote about a solar power station in space. People laughed at his idea then, but we should have listened to him. Today, many people are trying to develop a space solar power station. After all, the sun always shines above the clouds!

Câu 22:  The writer says that in the past        .

A. most inventions were to do with farming  B. people didn't want to use wheels

C. it took time for new ideas to change things           D. people didn't invent many things

Câu 23:  Why does the writer use the example of the aeroplane?

A. Because he thinks it's the most important invention inhistory.

B. To show how an invention developed quickly.

C. To explain how space travel started.

D. To explain why transport changed in the 20^th century.

Câu 24:  What does the writer say about the future of communication?

A. We can't know what the most popular social media will be.         B. Microchips will become faster.

C. We won't need devices like smartphones.                         D. We won't use the internet as much.

Câu 25:  What does the writer say about space solar power?

A. It's much easier to build a solar power station in space than on Earth.

B. It's a science fiction idea, and nobody really thinks it will work.

C. People tried it in 1941, but they didn'tsucceed.

D. It's an old idea, but people are only starting to develop it now.

A. Man in space          B. Progress now and then

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C orD on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43  to 50

The time when humans crossed the Arctic land bridge from Siberia to Alaska seems remote to us today, but actually represents a late stage in prehistory of humans, an era when polished stone implements and bows and arrows were already being used  and dogs bad already been domesticated.

When these early migrants arrived in North America, they found woods and plains dominated by three types of American mammoths. Those elephants were distinguished from today's elephants mainly by their thick, shaggy coats and their huge, upward-curving tusks. They had arrived on the continent hundreds of thousands of years before their human followers. The wooly mammoth in the North, the Columbian mammoth in middle North America, and the imperial mammoth of the South, together with their distant cousins the mastodons, dominated the land. Here, as in the Old World, there is evidence that humans hunted these elephants,as shown by numerous spear points found with mammoth remains.

Then, at the end of the Ice Age, when the last glaciers had retreated, there was a relatively sudden and widespread extinction of elephants. In the New World, both mammoths and mastodons disappeared. In the Old World, only Indian and African elephants survived.

Why did the huge, seemingly successful mammoths disappear? Were humans connected with their extinction? Perhaps, but at the time, although they were hunters, humans were still widely scattered and not very numerous. It is difficult to see how they could have prevailed over the mammoth to such an extent.

Câu 43:  With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned?

A.  Techniques used to hunt mammoths.

B.  The relationship between man and mammoth in the New World.

C.  The prehistory of humans.

D.  Migration from Siberia to Alaska.

Câu 44:  The word "implements"  in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

A.  ornaments  B.  houses        C.  tools          D.  carvings

Câu 45: The phrase "these early migrants"  in paragraph 2 refers to

A.  mammoths B.  humans      C.  mastodons D.  dogs

Câu 46:  Where were the imperial mammoths the dominant type of mammoth?

A.  the central portion of North America                   B.  Alaska

C.  the southern part of North America                      D.  South America

Câu 47:  It can be inferred that when humans crossed into the New World, they ______

A.  had previously hunted mammoths in Siberia.                   B.  soon learned to use dogs to hun mammoths.

C.  brought mammoths with them from the Old World.        D.  had never seen mammoths before.

Câu 48:  The passage support which of the following conclusions about mammoths?

A.  Humans hunted them to extinction.

B.  The cause of their extinction is not definitely known.

C.  Competition with mastodons caused them to become extinct.

D.  The freezing temperatures of the Ice Age destroyed their food supply.

Câu 49:  Which of the following is NOT true about prehistoric humans at the time of the mammoths' extinction?

A.  They were relatively few in number.                    B.  They were skilled hunters.

C.  They knew how to use bows and arrows. D.  They were concentrated in a small area.

Câu 50:  Which of the following types of the elephants does the author discuss in the most detail in the passage?

A.  the mammoth        B.  the mastodon

C.  the African elephant         D.  the Indian elephant

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer for each question

We first learn about loving and caring relationships from our families. Family is defined as a domestic group of people with some degree of kinship - whether through blood, marriage, or adoption. Ideally, each child is nurtured, respected, and grows up to care for others and develop strong and healthy relationships. This does not mean that it is always easy to make and keep friends; it just means that we share the goal of having strong relationships.

"Family" includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with every day, such as your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and stepparents. These are probably the people you are closest to and with whom you spend the most time. Having healthy relationships with your family members is both important and difficult.

Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than one family together in the same house], and gay and lesbian parents -just to name a few. No matter the "type" of family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. Many times, however, families become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion. These are natural and normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences with them. The worst time for most families, is during a divorce. By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other people, it is possible to create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring and support; they can be sources of lifelong strength for all individuals.

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.

It is an undeniable fact that a woman's place was once in the home. In the past, women were merely required to fulfill the role of mother and housewife. Today, this situation has changed tremendously. If a woman possesses the attributes and qualities of her male counterpart, she will definitely be given equal opportunities in the career world without much bias. Therefore, women began to make the scene and, eventually, there was a steady flow of women leaving their homes. A certain vacuum or emptiness was thus created in the households. No more could the husbands turn to their wives after a hard day's work. Society marveled at the ability of women, but it also suffered at the realization of the important role that women play in their homes. Should women be allowed to work after marriage then? The answer is undoubtedly positive although this issue is highly debatable in terms of the nature of the professions involved. If a woman pursues her career but is at the same time able to care for her home and children, one simply cannot find any reason why she should not be allowed to do so.

A woman's influence is greatly needed in the home, on the children. What a child needs most is his mother's care because how the child is molded depends greatly on her. It is a real pity that women who leave their homes solely in search of a career seldom give a thought to this. The children, being helpless and dependent creatures, may have nobody to turn to at home, except servants or relatives. With the mother's back only after a hard day's toil, the children surely do not get much attention.

Whether a woman should continue to work after marriage would depend on the nature of her profession. It is a waste of resources if women, after seeking higher education, immediately abandon their careers after matrimony. A woman's effort can also contribute to the well- being and development of society. In the Malaysian context, a teacher is only required to work a five-day week with term holidays every now and then. Moreover, she is in school for only half of the day. The other half of the day can be devoted to her home. A teacher, besides educating the society, can fulfill the role of both mother and housewife. There are many other careers like those of nurses, clerks and typists where women can fulfill the double role.

Nevertheless, there are many professions which would not be advisable for women to indulge in after marriage. A public relations officer spends almost three-quarters of her time in her career. She has heavy tasks to shoulder which might require her to entertain others till odd hours at night. Women who venture into the business world should think twice before plunging into it. It would be beyond their means to fulfill two demanding roles at the same time.

As it is, a woman's most important responsibility still lies in her home. Without her around in the house, one just cannot bear to think of the consequences. Unless and until she can fulfill the basic role of a housewife and mother, she should not make a career her sole responsibility.

Câu hỏi 22 (TH): The word "marveled" in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by ______.

            A. was excited            B. was amazed            C. was frustrated        D. was fascinated

Câu hỏi 23 (TH): According to the passage, what job is NOT suitable for women after getting married?

            A. typists         B. public relations officers

            C. nurses         D. clerks

Câu hỏi 24 (TH): Which of the following about women is NOT true in paragraph 1? A. Women play an important role in their homes.

B.        Women will have equality of job opportunities if they are as qualified as men.

C.        Women's going out to work didn't change anything in the life of their families.

D.        The main role of women in bygone days was childbearing and homemaking.

Câu hỏi 25 (TH): Why should a businesswoman have the second thought before starting her career? A. Because she has heavy tasks to shoulder till very late at night.

B.        Since she has to spend three quarters of her time on business.

C.        Because she has to plunge into this job.

D.        As it would be hard for her to fulfill the double role at the same time.

A Working Vacation

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get your dream job? It can take years to get the education and develop the skills you need for the perfect job. However, there is a way to experience your dream job without having to get the required training or degree. Since 2004, Brian Kurth’s company, Vocation Vacations, has been connecting people with mentors who have the jobs of their dreams.

Kurth had been working for a phone company before starting his own company. He didn’t like his job, and he had a long time to think about it on his drive to and from work. He also thought about his dream job while driving. He was interested in becoming a dog trainer, but he didn’t want to take any chances and switch to a field he didn’t have experience in. He really wanted to know what the job was like and if it was realistic for him to work towards his goal. So, he found a mentor – a dog trainer that could tell him about the job and everything it involved. After that, he helped his friends find mentors to explore jobs they were interested in. They thought it was helpful to talk to people who had their dream jobs before spending lots of time and money getting the training they needed for those jobs.

Kurth saw how much this helped his friends, so he decided to turn it into his business. He started Vocation Vacations in 2004, and by 2005, the company was offering experience with over 200 dream jobs. Today, about 300 mentors work with the company to share their knowledge about their jobs. Customers pay to experience the job of their dreams and work with these mentors to see what a job is really like. A “job vacation” costs between $350 and $3,000 and can be for one to three days. Many people use Vocation Vacations to see if their dream job is a career path they want to continue. Others do it just to experience the job of their dreams one time.

Vocation Vacations jobs are in the fields of fashion, food, entertainment, sports and animals. Many people want to try glamorous jobs. For example, they want to try working as actors, music producers, photographers and fashion designers. According to Kurth, some other popular dream jobs are working as bakers, hotel managers and wedding planners.
