Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate solar
energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no new
space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources,
they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and
easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they
require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We
can only generate solar energy during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells
require large area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as
much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists are
hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the advantages of this
environmentally friendly source of energy.
31. What does the passage primarily discuss?
A. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
B. Solar energy’s advantages over other sources of energy.
C. The cost of solar energy. D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels.
32. What does the word they in line 3 refer to?
A. solar energy users. B. other renewable resources. C. advantages. D. solar cells.
33. What is NOT mentioned as an advantage of solar cells?
A. They require little maintenance. B. They are non-polluting.
C. They cost little to produce. D. They operate quietly.
34. Which of the following is NOT a traditional source of energy?
A. solar energy B. oil C. coal D. gas
35. Which of the following is the main disadvantage of solar energy mentioned in the passage?
A. It is expensive. B. Solar cells require large areas to operate.
C. It is unfriendly to the environment. D. It depends on sunlight.

Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times. Music
may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the music. We are
able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a
positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person
angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The
angry person does not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and
makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body,
mind, and feelings are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and
Greece understood the effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science
that concerned them. Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these effects, they created
music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next
step is to gain a better understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is actually having.

A. The science of music B. Understanding music
C. The effects of music on human feelings D. Music and an angry person

A. cannot be chosen B. affects everybody in the same way

A. Everybody likes jazz B. Jazz always makes us feel better
C. No one likes jazz D. a very angry person sometimes do not accept music

A. China B. India C. Turkey D. Greece

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to
increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But increasing
your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on
your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of
exercise it’s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles
that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your
doctor and ask for his/her advice. Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the
exercise to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose
your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not
true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in
pain then you should stop and take a rest.

the questions from 31 - 35.
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made
many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison.
Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants,
including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the
massive volumes of industrial effluent which pours into the lake everyday. Even where law existed, the
government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The
Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all
marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore. Water is free
to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless.
Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we
are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages when I
was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University. As for me, mastering a foreign
language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Travelling to the
country where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well
enough you will certainly have troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, listen to the
radio in the language I am trying to learn.

better. However, getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing. Grammar and
vocabulary should be mastered first.

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to
increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But increasing
your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on
your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of
exercise it’s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles
that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your
doctor and ask for his/her advice. Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the
exercise to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose
your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not
true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in
pain then you should stop and take a rest.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to
look nice. How does a tooth go bad? They decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the tooth.
This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the
tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth healthy?
Firstly, 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, raw vegetables, and
fresh fruit. Chocolates, 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.

We can develop alternative sources of energy, and unless we try we'll never succeed. Instead of burning fossil
fuels we should be concentrating on more economical uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any
sources of energy. If we didn't waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. We can save more energy by
conservation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power, tidal
power, hydroelectric plants... our fossil fuels will run out and we'll all freeze or starve to death. Several countries are
42
spending much more time and money on research because the energy from the sun. the waves, and the winds last
forever. We won't really survive unless we start working on cleaner and safer sources of energy.
26. Fossil fuels are renewable sources of energy.
27. Electricity can be produced from the sea.
28. The energy from the sun, the waves and the winds will never be used up.
29. We really need to worry about cleaner and safer sources of energy.
30. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Electricity is the main energy we use. B. It is impossible to have safer sources of energy.
C. We are facing huge lack of energy. D. Alternative sources of energy must be developed.
Although no one knows for certain who the original Saint Valentine was, once a year, on February 14, there is
a day in his honor. Some historians believe that the original Saint Valentine was a priest who lived in the city of Rome

spite of the emperor’s order. When the Romans found out, they sent Saint Valentine to prison and later killed him.
While his romantic efforts to help many Christians in love cost him his life, he was honored in his own days. But his
story has been mostly forgotten after people have come to celebrate Valentine’s Day as a special time for sweethearts.

Today almost everyone walking down the street has at least one mobile phone in their pocket. That is

Education is not an end, but a mean is to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of
educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. In some modern countries it has, for some time, been fashionable to
think that by free education for all - whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one can solve all the problems of society
and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a
large number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with
hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the
work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education,
but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our house, we should get
terrible diseases in our own towns. In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that
we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability and,
secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work.
Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
31. The writer of the passage thinks that _________________.
A. education can settle most of the world’s problems
B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world

33. According to the passage _____________.
A. work with hands is low work B. we can’t regard work with hands as low work
C. work with hands is dirty and shameful D. work with hands is the most important
34. The purpose of education is _____________.
A. to choose a system of education B. to let everyone receive education fit for him
C. to build a perfect world D. to prepare children mainly for their future work

Man discovered fire many thousands of years ago. The first time he saw fire was probable when a tree was
struck by lighting. He soon learned how to make fire for himself. However man probably made his first fire by
rubbing two sticks together. Fire was very important to man. He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He
used fire to cook his food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some part of the world he
used fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke signals. In some other countries
people lit fires to warn their friends of danger. Fire was also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil
lamp, men used burning sticks as torches. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in
wire baskets from posts to light the streets. One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock.
He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit
the candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock
did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too quickly.

When I injured my back I had to take a break from my running career. I decided to introduce more
women to the sport, to show them how much fun it can be and to give them the confidence to get out and
run. I decided to start a running club for women in my area because I was annoyed by the attitude of many
race organizers. They complain about the lack of women in the sport but also use this as an excuse for not
providing separate changing facilities. I put up posters and 40 women, young and old, fit and unfit, joined.
All of them were attracted by the idea of losing weight but I don’t think they had really thought about
running before. When or if they did, they had a picture of painful training. They didn’t think of chatting and
smiling while running in beautiful places, like by a river. At first they ran for only a minute - now they can
run for thirty minutes. They’ve also learned from other runners about diet and keeping fit in general. I want
to do something for women’s running and I have had so much pleasure watching their progress – almost as
much as they’ve had themselves.

A young man from Germany named Levi Strauss arrived in California in 1850. He went there to sell things to the
miners. He saw that the miners needed strong pants, so he began to make them. He used cloth that people made tents
from. He put rivets on the pockets to make them strong because the men put rocks in their pockets. These pants were
very strong and lasted a long time. The pants became very popular immediately. Later Mr. Strauss started making
Jeans from cotton cloth from Nimes, France. People called this cloth denim. Denim was popular in the fifteenth
century. Christopher Columbus used denim for the sails of his ship. Sailors in Genoa, Italy, wore denim pants. The
word “jeans” comes from the words “Genoa”. Mr. Strauss made the first jeans in the United States, but the idea and
the kind of cloth came from Europe. The name came from France and Italy. Jeans were always blue until presently.
People used indigo to dye them. Indigo is the oldest dye in the world. Most jeans have blue threads going across and
white threads going up and down. These two colors make denim look different from other kinds of cloth.

One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using natural gas
for cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas are found in the United States, usually several feet
below the surface of the earth. Natural gas is most often found in places where petroleum, the oil from which
gasoline is made, is found. Often the natural gas must be removed before the oil itself can be reached.
For many years after natural gas was first discovered, it was thought to have no value. Finally, however,
people began to understand its use and to find ways of storing it and moving it from place to place. Today
natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and heating. It has also been used for
electric generators and hybrid cars recently. In many ways natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be
used for cooking without making the room hot. It is cheap and can be moved easily from one place to
another through long pipelines, some of which are hundreds of miles in length.

A. natural gas is useless B. people once wasted natural gas
C. natural gas is moved in trucks D. natural gas is found where there is no petroleum
32. This passage as a whole is about __________.

A. to liquidize it and move it through pipelines. B. to liquidize it and move it by trucks.

35. How many uses of natural gas are mentioned?

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has
varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the
twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies.
Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in, 1794, had fifteen stars because by that time
Vermont and Kentucky had joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention of mint officials to
add a star for each new state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties of
half dimes, dimes, and half-dollars were produced with sixteen stars.
As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would
not prove practical and the coins from 1798 on were issued with only thirteen stars-one for each of the
original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half cent was issued with only twelve
stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not
a true error.

A. The teaching of astronomy in state universities. B. Stars on American coins.
C. Colonial stamps and coins . D. The star as national symbol of the United States.

When I injured my back I had to take a break from my running career. I decided to introduce more
women to the sport, to show them how much fun it can be and to give them the confidence to get out and
run. I decided to start a running club for women in my area because I was annoyed by the attitude of many
race organizers. They complain about the lack of women in the sport but also use this as an excuse for not
providing separate changing facilities. I put up posters and 40 women, young and old, fit and unfit, joined.
All of them were attracted by the idea of losing weight but I don’t think they had really thought about
running before. When or if they did, they had a picture of painful training. They didn’t think of chatting and
smiling while running in beautiful places, like by a river. At first they ran for only a minute - now they can
run for thirty minutes. They’ve also learned from other runners about diet and keeping fit in general. I want
to do something for women’s running and I have had so much pleasure watching their progress – almost as
much as they’ve had themselves.

That program became one of America's exports soon after it was shown in New York in 1969.
In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. Although some people do not
agree to some parts of the program, parents praise it highly.Tests have shown that children have learned much from
watching “Sesame Street”. The children who watch it five times a week learn more than those who watch it less. In the
United States the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who
can watch it regularly. The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of
numbers, letters and human relationships.
Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have
been suggested, such as the educational theories of its producers, the support from both the government and
businessmen, and the full use of various kinds of television skills. Perhaps another important reason is that mothers
watch “Sesame Street” together with their children. This is partly because famous film stars often appear on “Sesame
Street”. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to
learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.

Parents complain that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers say exactly the same thing about
their parents! According to a recent survey, the most common arguments between parents and teenagers are those
regarding untidiness and household chores. On the one hand, parents go mad over untidy rooms, clothes dropped on
the floor and their children's refusal to help with the housework. On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience
continually when parents tell them off for dropping the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing
to do the shopping at the supermarket.
The survey, conducted by St George University, showed that different parents have different approaches to these
problems. However, some approaches are much more successful than others. For example, those parents who yell at
their teens for their untidiness, but later clear up after them, have fewer chances of changing their teens' behaviour. On
the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the consequences of their actions are more successful. For instance,
when teenagers who don't help their parents with the shopping don't find their favourite food in the fridge, they are
forced to reconsider their actions.
Psychologists say that the most important thing in parent-teen relationships is communication. Parents should talk to
their teens, but at the same time they should listen to what their children have to say. Parents should tell their teens off
when they are untidy, but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a
two-way process. It is only by listening to and understanding each other that problems between parents and teens can
be solved.
31. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Teen Issues B. Family Rules C. Parents' Advice D. Parents' Anger

SEDGE MAT CRAFT VILLAGE IN TIEN GIANG PROVINCE
86
In the Mekong Delta., Long Dinh village of Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional craft of weaving
flowered mats. The mat's high quality makes them popular domestically, and they are also exported to markets
worldwide including Korea, Japan and America.
In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started here some 50 years
ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous mat weaving village in the northern province of
Ninh Binh. However, the technique of weaving sedge mats in Long Dinh, as compared with other places in the
South, is somewhat different. Long Dinh branded mats are thicker and have more attractive colours and patterns.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs during the dry season, from
January to April. Weavers have to work their hardest in May and June, otherwise, when the rainy season starts in
July, they will have to put off finishing their products till the next dry season. No matter how much work it requires,
Long Dinh mat producers stick with this occupation, as it brings a higher income than growing rice. This trade
provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly 1,000 households in Long Dinh village live
on weaving mats. To better meet market demands, Long Dinh mat weavers have created more products in addition to
the traditional sedge mats. Particularly, they are producing a new type of mat made from the dried stalks of water
hyacinth, a common material in the Mekong Delta.
Thanks to the planning and further investment, the mat weaving occupation has indeed brought in more income
for local residents. Their living standards have improved considerably, resulting in better conditions for the whole
village.
31. All of the following are true about the craft in Long Dinh EXCEPT that __________.
A. it has the origin from Kim Son, Ninh Binh B. it has had the reputation for more than 50 years
C. the techniques are a little bit different from those in other regions
D. the mats have more attractive colours and designs
32. We can infer from the sentence "Weaving sedge mats is similar growing rice” that __________.
A. both depend on weather conditions B. both occur on the same land
C. both bring similar income D. both occur at the same time
33. Despite difficulties, people in Long Dinh try to follow the craft because __________.
A. they can have jobs in the rainy months B. they can go to Korea, Japan and America
C. they can make the techniques of weaving different D. they can earn more money than growing rice
34. In order to meet market demands, artisans in Long Dinh __________.
A. produce new products from rare material B. hire thousands of local labourers
C. try to produce various types of products D. stop producing the traditional sedge mats
35. We can infer from the passage that __________.
A. the new technique makes labourers work in the dry season
B. Long Dinh mat production is only well-known in foreign markets
C. the craft contributes much to the village economy
D. most of the households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats

Recently, we made a trip to visit Dong Ho village with a desire to meet the old artisan – Nguyen Huu Sam. Just when we
arrived villagers at the dyke in the village and talked with the villagers about the artisan, they immediately told us about him. The
old house owned by the artisan is situated in a long alley of the village. On the walls of the house there are many folk paintings in
different genres, from daily life paintings to landscape paintings shown in a set of “four seasons”.
Mr. Sam told us about his past. When he was three years old, he was instructed in the craft of making Dong Ho paintings
by his father. At five, he could help his father apply the Dong Ho paintings, and learn how to print the paper with proper colours.
At seven, he was able to draw with a pen and make the most difficult samples. Years went by and the soul of Dong Ho folk
paintings has kept seashell powder paint to the poonah-paper.
In the 1940s, this craft flourished. At that time, he was assigned by his parents to take the paintings to the market for sale.
Mr. Sam said that 17 families in the village have been engaged in making Dong Ho paintings.
Artisan Sam has always been devoted to the making of Dong Ho paintings and has waited for opportunities to restore this
traditional craft. In 1967, when the local authorities assigned him to restore the traditional genre of Dong Ho folk paintings, he
gathered 50 villagers with professional skills and collected hundreds of woodblocks to establish the Dong Ho Painting
Cooperative. Thanks to his efforts, such famous painting as "Rat's wedding", “Rooster”, “Scene of jealousy” and “Writing verses
about precious flowers" have been revived. Dong Ho paintings have been available in many parts of the world such as Japan,
France, Germany, Singapore and the United States.

Unlike life in the countryside which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in the city is modern and
complicated. People, from different regions, move to the cities in the hope of having a better life for them and their children.
The inhabitants in city work as secretaries, businessmen, teachers, government workers, factory workers and even street
vendors or construction workers.
The high cost of living requires city dwellers, especially someone with low income, to work harder or to take a part-
time job. For many people, an ordinary day starts as usual by getting up in the early morning to do exercise in public parks,
preparing for a full day of working and studying, then travelling along crowed boulevards or narrow streets filled with motor
scooters and returning home after a busy day. They usually live in large houses, or high-rise apartment blocks or even in a
small rental room equipped with modern facilities, like the Internet, telephone, television, and so on. Industrialization and
modernization as well as global integration have big impact on lifestyle in the cities. The most noticeable impact is the
Western style of clothes. The "ao dai” - Vietnamese traditional clothes big are no longer regularly worn in Vietnamese
women's daily life. Instead, jeans, T-shirts and fashionable clothes are widely preferred.

Since the early 1980s, we began to worry about the bad effects of environmental pollution. It is the result of
industrialization and of the careless use of the natural resources. Avoiding pollution is not easy. Many people try not to
inhale traffic fumes and keep away from chemical waste by wearing mask when they get out of their house. Actually, indoor
pollution is becoming more and more serious. They have found that dishwasher, washing machines, air conditioners,
freezers, and refrigerators emit some certain toxic chemicals into the air. We surely inhale these chemicals when doing
housework. Using gas cookers and burning candles produce carbon monoxide. Therefore, before worrying about

What was, just a few days ago, the object of eager speculation among British children has become a reality. Schools are shut.
For an unspecified period, learning will take place at home, except for a minority of pupils who are deemed to be vulnerable, or
whose parents are key workers. Closing schools was a necessary step that should have been taken sooner, as it was in other
countries. Across the world, school is part of the rhythm of life - for parents and teachers as well as pupils. Because of
coronavirus, an estimated 800 million children globally are now having their education interrupted.
Some may welcome this, at least at first. Nobody wants to catch Covid-19, or be responsible for spreading it. With British
schooling in preparation for primary school SATs, GCSEs and A-levels, lessons can be more like drills than investigations. Some
parents have already begun sharing plans (and jokes) about homeschooling. However, most parents will feel less well equipped to
teach older children.
The social impact of being separated from peers also varies for different age groups. Almost all children, including some who
find school difficult, benefit from the social experiences that it offers. But for teenagers, whose emotional development requires
them to become more separate from their parents and careers, being forced back into the family nest carries particular stresses.
But economic inequality will be the biggest variable between the experiences of British children over the next few months. In
any society, school is a leveller. When they are there, pupils share the same spaces, lessons, menus and teachers. At home,
children of well-off parents invariably live in bigger houses, are more likely to have their own bedrooms, two parents rather than
one to support them, and better access to technology as well as books and other learning resources, and food.
We must do our best over the coming months, and no one should begrudge those who are looking forward to lessons or
weekday lunches with their children. But during this particular period, the government should do everything in its power to ensure
that more vulnerable children and families do not lose out. When things get back to normal, anyone who have fallen behind must
be helped to catch up.
