I just want to introduce the next area we’ll cover: the food chain. Food chains are divided into three types. The first one is the
predator( [‘predətə(r)]: dong vat an thit) chain, in which larger animals feed on smaller ones, such as when a bird eats a fish. The second
is the parasite chain, in which smaller animals live off larger ones, such as a tapeworm living in a eat’s intestines. And the third type is
the saprophytic chain in which a micro-organism feeds off dead matter.
In each type of chain, potential energy is lost at each level. Let’s take the example of a green plant. It gets energy from the sun
by photosynthesis, but can use only about 2 or 3 percent of the energy that falls on it. The plant is then eaten by a rabbit, but the rabbit
can use only about 10 percent of the potential energy of the plant. The rabbit is then eaten by a fox, which can use about 12 - 15 percent
of the energy from the rabbit. And finally, the fox is eaten by a mountain lion. As you can see, at each step the percentage of energy
obtained increases, but all in all, a great deal of energy is lost at each step.
That’s all for today. Read the next chapter in your books. We’ll go on with more about the food chain next time.
76. What is the major topic of this lecture?
A Predators in the animal world.
B Divisions of the food chain. 
C The loss of potential energy in predators. D A parasitic chain.
77. Which of the following is an example of a predator chain?
A. A bird eating a fish. 
B A rabbit eating grass.
C A tapeworm living in an animal.
D A plant using energy from the sun,
78. How much of the potential energy from the sun can a plant use?
A 2 - 3 percent.  B 10 percent.
C 12 - 15 percent. D More than 15 percent.
79. What happens at each step of the food chain?
A. A plant uses energy.
B Animals kill other animals.
C Potential energy is lost. 
D A micro-organism feeds off dead matter.
80. What is eaten in a saprophytic chain?
A. A green plant. B Dead matter. 
C A smaller animal. D A rabbit.

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

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-opitic cables that help to build the information Super-Highway
around the world.

Last year I went to Nepal for three months to work in a hospital. I think it's important to see as much of a country as you can,
but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days’ holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle and I asked a
Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.
We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning, and left camp with two elephants carrying our equipment. It was hot but
Kamal made me wear shoes
and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We
climbed onto the elephants' backs to get better view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the heat of the
day.
Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept nearer and found a dead deer, still bleeding.
This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very frightened.
We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos plus and four meters
long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal's throat. It grabbed Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I managed to
pul1 Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its
lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep!

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 đồ dung, dung cu. 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.

For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were chimpanzees. Now, however, there is proof that
dolphins may be even cleverer than these big apes. Although a dophin lives in the sea, it is a mammal. It is in many ways,
therefore, like a human being. Dolphins have simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible for man to
learn how to talk to dolphins. But this will not be easy because dolphins cannot hear the kind of sounds man can make. If the man
wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have to make a third language which both he and the dolphins can understand. Dolphins
are also very friendly towards man. They often follow ships. There are many stories of dolphins guiding ships through difficult and
30
dangerous water.
81. Which animals did people think may be cleverest?
a. chimpanzees b. dolphins c. monkeys d. rabbits
82. What other beings are dolphins like in many ways?

83. What is NOT true?

c. they are friendly towards man. d. they have their own language.
84. Why is a third language necessary if the man wants to talk to dolphins?
a. dolphins cannot hear
b. dolphins cannot understand people’s language
c. dolphins cannot hear the kind of sounds man can make
d. dolphins want to talk to people
85. In what ways are dolphins friendly to man?
a. they guide ships through difficult and dangerous water

Language, the way we express ourselves, is a vital part of learning. A baby learns his native tongue naturally by hearing
speech around him. If the speech he hears is rapid, not clear and never directed at him then he learns slowly and speaks badly. A
child of two or three who can’t make his desires known or put his thoughts into words will usually become angry. His relationships
with other get worse. If the speech a baby hears around him is clear, and his family talk to him, he will gain a satisfactory command
of language directly, by his mother, his language ability will be greater. By the time he is two, it is quite possible for him to have
a vocabulary of two thousand words and by the time he is three he will be able to read. Once ahead he will stay ahead.

a. Language is the way we express ourselves
b. Language is what we learn
c. Language is what we say
d. Language is what we write
87. How does a baby learn his mother tongue?
a. by listening to radio b. by reading books
c. by hearing what is said around him d. by watching TV

a. He will get worse. b. He will get angry.
c. He won’t talk. d. He will be better.
89. How should the mother talk to her baby?
a. clearly, directly b. clearly, indirectly
c. rapidly, clearly d. slowly, indirectly

The fourth letter of the Greek alphabet was named delta. Its sign was a triangle – a three – sided figure. Today the word delta means the
triangular group of islands at the mouth of a river.
Delta are formed by the rivers themselves. Large rivers may carry sand and fine soil as they sweep towards their mouths. Near their
outlets, rivers usually slow, and can less easily carry their burdens. Sand and silt are dropped when rivers enter a larger body of
water. Not all rivers form delta. Ocean currents may be strong enough to sweep the river water away before sand and silt are
deposited. Or the deposits may themselves be swept away.
The fertile soil of the Nile delta has made it famous. Mans history in this delta dates back for thousands of years.

Đọc đoạn văn và trả lời câu hỏi:
Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his own use. This not only provided more
abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets,
livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today.
As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organise their knowledge of nature into the broad
field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early
herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a
plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an extract made from a heart-shaped leaf might be
prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems.
Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our present knowledge of drugs and their
uses.
46. What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. Cures from plants. B. The beginning of natural history.
C. Prehistoric man. D. Early plants and animals.
47. Domestication of plants and animals probably occurred because of ….
A. need for more readily available food

48. The word “this” refers to ……….
A. providing food for man
B. mans domestication of plants and animals
C. mans ability to live on a small plot of land
D. the earliest condition of prehistoric man
49. The word “blossomed” is closest in meaning to …..
A. produced flowers B. changed C. learned D. flourished
50. An herbalist is which of the following?
A. A dreamer. B. An early historian.
C. Someone who uses plants in medicine. D. A farmer.
51. The phrase “in this respect” refers to ………
A. the development of human culture
B. the development of the field of natural history
C. the use of plants for drugs and medicine
38
D. the origin of knowledge of nature
52. The word “extract” is closest in meaning to …..

B. Early herbalists were unimaginative.
C. The work of early herbalists has nothing to do with present day medicine.
D. There is little relation between a cure for illness and the physical shape of a plant.

A. zoology B. biology C. anatomy D. astrology
Simply being bilingual doesnt qualify someone to interpret. Interpreting is not only a mechanical process of converting one sentence
in language A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, its a complex art in which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious
counterparts from tongue to tongue _ or words that have several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the
message is clearly and accurately expressed to the listener.
At one international conference, an American speaker said, “You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear”, which meant nothing to
the Spanish audience. The interpretation was, “A monkey in a silk dress is still a monkey” _ an idiom the Spanish understood and
that expressed the same idea.
There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth, usually at a large
multilingual conference, speaks to listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign language speaker says _ actually a
sentence behind. Consecutive interpreters are the ones most international negotiations use. They are employed for smaller
meetings without sound booths and headphones. Consecutive interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker
says his piece while the interpreter, using a special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said.
56. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the scope of interpreting.
B. To differentiate between simultaneous and consecutive interpreters.
C. To state the qualifications of an interpreter.
D. To point out the importance of an interpreter.
57. The author implies that most people have the opinion that the skill of interpreting is …..
A. simpler than it really is
B. very complex and demanding
C. highly valued and admired
D. based on principles of business
58. The example “You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear” is used to….
A. show the differences in language A and language B
B. stress the importance of word for word translation
C. emphasize the need for translation of the meaning of what is said
D. point out the difference in attributes of animals in English and Spanish
59. A precondition of being a translator is ……..
A. being a linguist B. being bilingual
C. being able to use high-tech equipment D. working well with people
60. Which of the following would a consecutive interpreter be used for?
A. A business transaction between 2 foreign speakers.
B. A large meeting of many nations.
C. A translation of a foreign book.
D. An interpretation of a major literary work.
61. What would a simultaneous interpreter be most in need of?
A. A dictionary or phrase book. B. Advanced technical style in writing.
C. Headphones and a booth. D. Shorhand skills and a notepad.
62. What is a difference mentioned between a simultaneous interpreter and a consecutive interpreter?
A. The money they are paid. B. The size of group with whom they work.
C. Their proficiency in the language. D. The type of dictionary they use.
63. The word “converting” is closest in meaning to….
A. understanding B. changing C. reading D. concluding
64. The phrase “the former“ refers to……
A. simultaneous interpreters B. the booth
C. consecutive interpreters D. the conference
65. The word “rather” is closest in meaning to….
A. on the contrary B. as a result C. in brief D. in general

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant language of international

had not extended even as far as two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade
(including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and
grew in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of
international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is English. Two - thirds of the world’s science
writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic

In addition to providing energy, fats have other functions in the body. The fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats,
as their name implies. Good source of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the bodys fatty
tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach, thus 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 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 are also 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.

E. READING COMPREHENSION
I. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
English has had a long tradition of borrowing words from other languages. This tradition began with the conquest of Britain by the
Norman-French in 1066. Because these conquerors established themselves as rulers, their dialect of French became the language of
the aristocracy, of government, and of education. During this period, many French words came into the English language. Another
strong influx of vocabulary came from Latin, which was the language of the church Today, those words derived from French and
Latin, though still identifiable, are not thought of as foreign by English speakers. Tradition, language and conquest are words that
come to us from this tradition.
The British colonial era, which began in the early 17l century, brought English speakers into contact with many other languages. In
North America, words from the Native American peoples quickly found their ways into the language Examples include moccasin (a
kind of soft shoe), squash (a vegetable)
The presence of Spanish colonies in North America led to the adoption of numerous Spanish words, such as siesta (a nap) and tortilla
(a flat thin pancake). Asian languages also make contributions. For example, the word pyjamas comes from a Hindi word, khaki
comes from Urdu, and ketchup was borrowed from Chinese. Words from African languages, too, made their ways into English when
African slaves served in the United States. The result of all of this absorption of new words is a very rich vocabulary that allows users
of English to express subtlety of meaning through their choice of words.
61. Many French words came into the English language when
A French traders did business with the British. B the Norman-French conquered Britain.
C British people ruled France in early 17th century. D African slaves worked in Great Britain.
62. Tradition, languages and conquest are examples of
A borrowed words no longer considered foreign. B words borrowed from Latin.
C words used in this passage. D words no longer popular in English.
63. Words from the Native American peoples came into English
A when Native American peoples came to Britain.B during the British colonial era
C in the 18lh century. D before those from Latin.
64. Words such as squash, tortilla, ketchup were all borrowed from
A other languages. B Asian languages.
C the Native American peoples. D African languages.
65. Which of the following is correct?
A More Latin words came into the English language than French ones.
B English has borrowed many words from French and Latin, although these words are no longer foreign.
C Users of English like to express subtlety of meaning through words from French.
D Most words of clothing were borrowed from Asian languages.

American Sign Language (ASL), which is the first language of many deaf people in North America, uses hand gestures,
facial expressions and other body movements to communicate. ASL is one of the four most commonly used languages in the
USA.
ASL was first introduced to America in 1817. In that year, a French teacher who came to America to teach brought with
him the French Sign Language (FSL) and taught it to his deaf students. The students then added their own American
signing and changed the FSL into the ASL. Modern ASL and FSL share some elements, including a large amount of
vocabulary. However, an ASL user cannot understand an FSL user.
No one form of sign language is universal. For example, British Sign Language (BSL) differs from ASL. Different sign
languages are used in different countries or regions.

D. a French teacher
89. How was ASL formed from FSL?
A. a French teacher brought FSL to America and added new American signing to it
B. a French teacher brought FSL to America and omitted some of its signs
C. a French teacher brought FSL to America and his American students then added their own signing to it

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 46 to 55.
A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world's largest and deepest,
lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that
comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by
geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the
surface.
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area. Radio waves
from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently
that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely
flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake.
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific community because of
the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors
such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas. The downside of the
discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated
with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for
possible ways to accomplish this.

A. undrinkable B. untouched C. unexploitable D. undiscovered

A. It is completely frozen. B. It is a saltwater lake.
C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice. D. It is heated by the sun.
Question 48: Which of the following is closest in meaning to "frigid" in paragraph 1?
A. Extremely cold B. Easily broken C. Quite harsh D. Lukewarm
Question 49: A ll of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it ______
A. was conducted by air B. made use of radio waves
C. could not determine the lake's exact size D. was controlled by a satellite
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if _______.
A. there were no lake underneath B. the lake were not so big
C. Antarctica were not so cold D. radio waves were not used
Question 51: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. Pieces of dust B. Tiny bubbles C. Tiny organisms D. Rays of light
Question 52: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it
A. can be studied using radio waves B. may contain uncontaminated microbes
C. may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D. has already been contaminated
Question 53: The word "downside" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______
A. bottom level B. negative aspect C. underside D. buried section
Question 54: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of
A. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica
B. problems with satellite-borne radar equipment
C. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it
D. the harsh climate of Antarctica

D. present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica's geography
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 56 to 65.
Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness and its originality of perspective. Satire itself, however,
rarely offers original ideas. Instead, it presents the familiar in a new form. Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies. What
they do is look at familiar conditions from a perspective that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful, or affected. Satire jars us
out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false.
Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd; Brave New World ridicules the pretensions of science; A Modest Proposal
dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas is original. Chivalry was suspect before Cervantes, humanists
objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley, and people were aware of famine before Swift.
60
It was not the originality of the idea that made these satires popular. It was the manner of expression, the satiric method, that
made them interesting and entertaining. Satires are read because they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are
morally wholesome or ethically instructive. They are stimulating and refreshing because with commonsense briskness they brush
away illusions and secondhand opinions. With spontaneous irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles familiar objects into
incongruous juxtaposition, and speaks in a personal idiom instead of abstract platitude.
Satire exists because there is need for it. It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an irreverent reminder
that they live in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an
awareness of truth, though rarely to any action on behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hear, and
read in popular media is sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular image
of it.

How can we keep our teeth healthy? First, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth
before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many
people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and
fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day, once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to
clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish,
brown bread, potatoes, red rice, vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat
them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
81. How often should we go to the dentist?
a. once a month b. twice a month c. once a year d. twice a year
82. Only when do a lot of people visit a dentist?
a. when we keep our teeth healthy b. when they have toothache
c. when they destroy the teeth d. when they are free
83. How often ought we to clean our teeth?
a. at least twice a day b. only twice a day
c. at least twice a month d. only twice a year
84. What shouldn’t we eat a lot?
a. sweets, cakes b. milk, cheese c. fruit, brown bread
d. fish and red rice

a. because they have a lot of sugar

b. because they cause decay
c. because they are expensive
d. because they are bad
