PART III: READING COMPREHENSION (10pts)
1. Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government
train carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a
snowstorm and had to be abandoned. The driver returned the next spring to see what had Trang 4/6
become of his cargo. Instead of the skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living,
fat, and healthy. How had they survived?
The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their
haste to cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the
eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew
well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for
winter feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often
killed by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless.
Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible
for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that.
They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern
grasses. Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they
immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains.
They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did
not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground. When they dried
in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter. Cattle left
outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant the
fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered
by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer air cured
them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses.

2. Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20
years ago and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.
The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house
which is very obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and
one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic.
Avoid leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light
on as well as a radio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your
latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is
under the doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be
uncovered by the intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if
your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any
potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house.
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder
has decided to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many
intruders. Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached
with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check
that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter how small your windows may be, it is
surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through. For extra
security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.
What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open,
should have top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money
well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defence against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to
the trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or
workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise
callers at your leisure. When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you
are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can
hear an intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to
telephone the police and wait for hel

A. cost a lot of money but are worth it. B. are good value for money. C. are luxury items.
D. are absolutely essential items. Đáp án câu 7: A

A. will prevent your home being burgled.
B. avoids you having to invite people into your home.
C. is only necessary for elderly people.
D. gives you time to check if the visitor is genuine. Đáp án câu 8: D
