Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers
to become the dominant language of international communication. English as we
know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of
French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s,
English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and 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 controllers - Today there are more than 700 million English users in the
world, and over half of these are nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number
of nonnative users than any other language in the world.

Americas foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on
convenient and rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as
hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became
one of Americas strongest exports as franchises for Mc Donalds and Burger King
spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China.
Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace _ gave way to
quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American
cultural patterns.
By the late 20th century Americans had become more conscious of their diets,
eating more poultry, fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began
to rediscover many world cuisines in forms closer to their original. In California,
chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables available with ingredients and spices
borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative cooking style that was
lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied than typical American
cuisine. Along with the states wines, California cuisine took its place among the
acknowledged forms of fine dining.

Today the most universally known style of trousers for both men and women
is jeans; these trousers are worn throughout the world on a variety of occasions. Also
called levis or denims, jeans have an interesting story.
The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of
pants developed. In the 16th century, sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore a unique tyle of
cotton trousers. In French, the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that
city is Genes, this name became attached to the trousers and developed into the word
jeans.
Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place name.
In the 17th century, French sailors began making trousers out of a specialized type of
cloth that was developed in the city of Nimes, France and was known serge de
Nimes. This name eventually developed into denim, the material which jeans are
made and an alternative name for these popular pants.
The word levis came from a person. In the 19th century, Levis Strauss tried to sell
heavy canvas to miners taking part in the hunt for gold in northern California. He
intended for this canvas to be used by miners to make heavy-duty tents. This first
attemp was a failure but he later found success when he used the canvas to make
indestructible pants for the miners. He changed the fabric from brown canvas to blue
denim, creating a style of pants that long outlived him and is now referred to by his
name.
61. All of the following are mentioned in the passage about Genoa except that it ……
A. was the source of the word jeans
B. is in Italy
C. has a different name in French
D. is a landlocked city
62. The word denim was most probably derived from …….
A. 2 French words
B. 2 Italian words
C. 1 French word and 1 Italian word
D. 3 French words

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.

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

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.

is …..
A. simpler than it really is

A. show the differences in language A and language B

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

Questions 56 - 65. Read and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions.
The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee.
Natural selection has acted in a variety of ways in different species to enhance the
efficacy of the behaviours, known as "flight behaviours" or escape behaviours that
are used by prey in fleeing predators. Perhaps the most direct adaptation is enhanced
light speed and agility.
Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so
we might expect only some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy.
Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic
and unpredictable way. Many species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes
and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion. Rapid unexpected
changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey.
In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective
in the presence of predators that are faster than they are and straight light more
effective against predators that are slower. One observation that supports this
suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which are
normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes
in flight direction when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrines are adept at
capturing flying birds).
A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash"
behaviour. Here, the alarmed prey flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some
predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash of activity followed
by immobility may confuse them. "Flash" behaviour is used in particular by frogs
and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile. In
some species, "flash" behaviour is enhanced by the display of bright body markings.
Good examples of insects with colourful markings are the red and yellow underwing
moths. At rest, both species are a cryptic brown color. When they fly, however,
brightly coloured hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly
conspicuous. Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly coloured patches or
frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly. Some species even
appear to possess "flash" sounds. The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by
some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the movement.
56. The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to...........
A. encourage
B. resist
C. increase
D. reveal
57. The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement
is...........

IV. Read the 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 31 to 40.
During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and
participated in a large number of reform movements, including movements to
reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, and, most
importantly, to free the slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of
women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady, Stanton and Lucy Stone were
feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A
number of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Philips,
also supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with men in antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered
women a previously denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in
order to better their living conditions and the conditions of others.
When the Civil War ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to
the Constitution adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks
but not to women. Discouraged but resolved, feminists influenced more and more
women to demand the right to vote. In 1869 the Wyoming Territory had yielded to
demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more stubbornly than before. A
women’s suffrage bill had been presented to every Congress since 1878, but it
continually failed to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment granted
women the right to vote.

VIII. Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to
each of the questions from 71 to 80.
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’
homes and offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word
processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no
consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work
is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to
their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are
approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising
annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business
Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why
hasn’t telecommuting become more popular ?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance
on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the
telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too
difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are
reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular
interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same
consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting.
Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area,
they never really get away from the office.

A. The advantages of telecommuting.
B. A definition of telecommuting.
C. An overview of telecommuting.
D. The failure of telecommuting.

A. More than predicted in Business Week.
B. More than 8 million.
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today.
D. Fewer than last year.
73. The phrase “of no consequence” means
A. of no use
B. of no good
C. unimportant
D. irrelevant
74. The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting
EXCEPT
A. the opportunities for advancement.
B. the different system of supervision.

TEXT 2.
The three phases of human memory are the sensory memory , the short-term
memory, and the long term memory. This division of the memory into phase is based
on the length of time of the memory.
Sensory memory is instantaneous memory. It is an image or memory that
enters your mind only for a short period of time; it comes and goes in under a second.
The memory will not last longer than that unless the information enters the short-term
memory.
Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds
or as long as you are actively using it.If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will
stay in your short-term memory as long as you keep repeating it.Once you stop
repeating it, etheir it is forgotten or it moves into long-term memory.
Long-term memory is the huge memory tank that can hold idies and images
for years and years. Information can be added to your long-term memory when you
actively try to put it there through memorization or when an idea or image enter your
mind on its own.

Đọc đoạn văn và trả lời câu hỏi:
Simply being bilingual doesn’t 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. Shorthand 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

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 body’s 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.

their skin becomes inflamed and scaly and their reproductive systems are damaged.
Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and

Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in
1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent
screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied
by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or
a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines.
Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures called 'synchronized sound' – began soon after the very first films were shown. With
synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as
1896, the newly invented gramophone (máy hát), which played a large disc carrying
music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that
the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the
gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was
only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on
celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on
the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization (sự đồ ng bộ hoá ). Short
feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually
brought us 'talking pictures'.

someone. If we use effect as a verb, it means to ‘carry out’ or to ‘cause
something to happen’, but it is used only in very formal English
