V/ Reading Comprehension (10 pts) Read the text bellow and choose the best answer to each question
Passage A:
Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the
need of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the
world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kms of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive.
Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of
man’s needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil
and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. A lot of valuable minerals exist on the
ocean floor ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and
shellfish is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm
temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and
waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong,
new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2050s the
problems that prevent us from fully exploiting the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be
largely solved.
Câu 1: The best title for this passage is ___________.
A. Sea Harvest.
C. Sea Food.
B. Technology and the Exploiting of the Sea.

A. it provides man with sea food.
C. it supplies man with minerals.
B. it offers oil to man.
D. all of the above.
Câu 4: The word Oriental people in the fourth paragraph probably means ___________.
A. European people.
C. Asian people.
B. African people.
D. American people.
Câu 5: We can conclude from the passage that ___________.
A. the sea resources have largely been used up.
B. the sea, in a broad sense, hasn’t yet been developed.
C. the problems that prevent us from fully exploiting the sea have already been solved.
D. by the year 2050, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources.

Passage B:
Computerization has changed high school education in many ways. In early 1980s only 20% of
high school teachers in the US used computers. However, since then high schools in the US have
computerized rapidly. In 1987, school acquired about 1.5 million computers with 95% of the schools

also speed up the teaching process and make difficult- to- explain ideas straight forward. This means
that teachers can spend more time answering students’ questions and catering for other needs. Computer
software can shorten the learning process by illustrating real world applications of abstract theories.

Passage C:
The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many museums devoted to the
decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection displayed
in a great country house. Passing through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been
a private estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929
and 1931, the house remained a family residence. This fact is of importance to the atmosphere and effect
of the museum. The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor: the rooms look as if
they were vacated only a short while ago whether by the original owners of the furniture or the most
recent residents of the house can be a matter of personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a
house in which a collection of furniture and architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English
country house, it is an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of displaying it
to the visitor, has changed over the years. The changes have coincided with developing concepts of the
American arts, increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the
achivement of a historical effect in period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have followed this
current, yet still retained the charater of a private house.
The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in an effort
to present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more
meaning for the viewer. Comparable to the habitat group in natural history museum, the period room
represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble
objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture.
Câu 1: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The reason that Winterthur was designed
B. Elements that make Winterthur an unusual museum
C. How Winterthur compares to English country houses
D. Histirical furniture contained in Winterthur
Câu 2: The phrase “devted to” in line 1 is closest in meaning to……………… .
A. surrounded by B. specializing in
C. successful in D. sentimental about
Câu 3: What happened at Winterthur between 1929 and 1931?
A. The owners moved out B. The house was repaired
C. The old furniture was replaced D. The estate became a museum
Câu 4: What does the author mean by stating “the impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the
visitor” (lines 6-7)?
A. Winterthur is very old
Page 7 of 10
B. Few people visit Winterthur
C. Winterthur does not look like a typical museum
D. The furniture at Winterthur looks comfortable
Câu 5: The word “assembled” in line 10 is closest in meaning to………………
A. summoned B. appreciated
C. brought together D. fundamentally changed
Câu 6: The word “it” in line 10 refers to ……………………
A. Winterthur B. collection
C. English country house D. visitor
Câu 7: The word “developing” in line 12 is closest in meaning to………………
A. traditional B. exhibiting C. informative D. evolving
Câu 8: According to the passage, objects in a period room are related by all of the following EXCEPT
A. date B. style C. place of manufacture D. past ownership
Câu 9: What is the relationship between the two paragraphs in the passage?
A. Paragraph 2 explains a term that was mentioned in paragraph 1.
B. Each paragraph describes a different approach to the display of objects in a museum
C. Paragraph 2 explains a philosophy of art appreciation that contrasts with that explained in
paragraph 1.
D. Each paragraph describes a different historical period
Câu 10: Where in the passage does the author explain why displays at Winterthur have changed?
A. line 1-2 B. line 3-4 C. line 5-7 D. line 9-11

Marriage
A great majority of adults in the industrial world in fact, about 90 percent will be married at some
time in their lives. Of those who do not, some may choose to remain single, but others still have no
choice. An alarm number who marry will divorce, but this is not because marriage itself has lost its
atractive instead people give up on particular relationships and try again. For example, of the four out
of ten American marriages that end in divorce, 80 percent are preludes to further unities. Every society
has its own definitions of what a perfect marriage should be. In the Western world, it seems that a
husband and wife have a perfect marriage if they love each other, have no other sexy parner, display
trust, loyalty and intimate, confide in each other, show mutual respect, are willing to listen to their
counterpart’s concerns and agree on their children’s upbringing. However , from time to time the
balance of social expects shifts. For example, a study carried out in 1986 showed that 74 percent of
American couples rate’equal in the relationship’ as an important component of marriage. We can be
fairly sure that their great-grandparents (and particularly their great-grandfathers) did not place the same

V/ Reading Comprehension (10 pts)
Read the text bellow and choose the best answer to each question Passage A:
Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the
need of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the
world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kms of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive.
Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of
man’s needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil
and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. A lot of valuable minerals exist on the
ocean floor ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and
shellfish is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm
temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and
waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong,
new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2050s the
problems that prevent us from fully exploiting the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.
Câu 1: The best title for this passage is ___________. A. Sea Harvest.
B. Technology and the Exploiting of the Sea. C. Sea Food. D. Man and Sea.
Câu 2: The major things that the sea offers man are ___________.
A. food, energy sources and minerals. B. fish and oil. C. minerals and oil. D. ocean currents and waves.
Câu 3: The sea serves the needs of man because ___________.
A. it provides man with sea food. B. it offers oil to man.
C. it supplies man with minerals. D. all of the above.
Câu 4: The word Oriental people in the fourth paragraph probably means ___________. A. European people. B. African people. C. Asian people. D. American people.
Câu 5: We can conclude from the passage that ___________.
A. the sea resources have largely been used up.
B. the sea, in a broad sense, hasn’t yet been developed.
C. the problems that prevent us from fully exploiting the sea have already been solved.
D. by the year 2050, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources.

The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many museums devoted to the
decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection displayed
in a great country house. Passing through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been
a private estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929
and 1931, the house remained a family residence. This fact is of importance to the atmosphere and effect
of the museum. The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor: the rooms look as if
they were vacated only a short while ago whether by the original owners of the furniture or the most
recent residents of the house can be a matter of personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a
house in which a collection of furniture and architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English
country house, it is an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of displaying it
to the visitor, has changed over the years. The changes have coincided with developing concepts of the
American arts, increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the
achivement of a historical effect in period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have followed this
current, yet still retained the charater of a private house.
The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in an effort
to present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more
meaning for the viewer. Comparable to the habitat group in natural history museum, the period room
represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble
objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture.
Câu 1: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The reason that Winterthur was designed
B. Elements that make Winterthur an unusual museum
C. How Winterthur compares to English country houses
D. Histirical furniture contained in Winterthur
Câu 2: The phrase “devted to” in line 1 is closest in meaning to……………… . A. surrounded by B. specializing in C. successful in D. sentimental about
Câu 3: What happened at Winterthur between 1929 and 1931? A. The owners moved out B. The house was repaired
C. The old furniture was replaced D. The estate became a museum
Câu 4: What does the author mean by stating “the impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor” (lines 6-7)? A. Winterthur is very old Page 6 of 10
B. Few people visit Winterthur
C. Winterthur does not look like a typical museum
D. The furniture at Winterthur looks comfortable
Câu 5: The word “assembled” in line 10 is closest in meaning to……………… A. summoned B. appreciated C. brought together D. fundamentally changed
Câu 6: The word “it” in line 10 refers to …………………… A. Winterthur B. collection C. English country house D. visitor
Câu 7: The word “developing” in line 12 is closest in meaning to……………… A. traditional B. exhibiting C. informative D. evolving
Câu 8: According to the passage, objects in a period room are related by all of the following EXCEPT A. date B. style C. place of manufacture D. past ownership
Câu 9: What is the relationship between the two paragraphs in the passage?
A. Paragraph 2 explains a term that was mentioned in paragraph 1.
B. Each paragraph describes a different approach to the display of objects in a museum
C. Paragraph 2 explains a philosophy of art appreciation that contrasts with that explained in paragraph 1.
D. Each paragraph describes a different historical period
Câu 10: Where in the passage does the author explain why displays at Winterthur have changed? A. line 1-2 B. line 3-4 C. line 5-7 D. line 9-11

There are ten mistakes in the following paragrapp. Find them and correct them.
Marriage
A great majority of adults in the industrial world – in fact, about 90 percent – will be married at some
time in their lives. Of those who do not, some may choose to remain single, but others still have no
choice. An alarm number who marry will divorce, but this is not because marriage itself has lost its
atractive – instead people give up on particular relationships and try again. For example, of the four out
of ten American marriages that end in divorce, 80 percent are preludes to further unities. Every society
has its own definitions of what a perfect marriage should be. In the Western world, it seems that a
husband and wife have a perfect marriage if they love each other, have no other sexy parner, display
trust, loyalty and intimate, confide in each other, show mutual respect, are willing to listen to their
counterpart’s concerns and agree on their children’s upbringing. However , from time to time the
balance of social expects shifts. For example, a study carried out in 1986 showed that 74 percent of
American couples rate’equal in the relationship’ as an important component of marriage. We can be
fairly sure that their great-grandparents (and particularly their great-grandfathers) did not place the same valuable on this.
