được lược bỏ và động từ của bị động chuyển sang thể phủ định.
Ex: No one helps me  I am not helped.

thông qua người thứ hai. Có các loại câu chuyển từ câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp như sau:

Câu trần thuật thường được tường thuật bằng một động từ được chia ở thì quá khứ và một
mệnh đề “that”
Ví dụ : “I am a teacher”--> she said that she was a teacher
Công thức:
S + said/ told/ admitted/ replied (that) S + V ( one tense back)
+.....
Chúng ta thường thay đổi thì của động từ ( hiện tại--> quá khứ--> quá khứ hoàn thành)
đổi đại từ nhân xưng, tân ngữ, tính từ sở hữu, tạng từ chỉ thời gian và địa điểm như sau:
Trạng từ chỉ thời gian và địa điểm.
Câu trực tiếp

của động từ.
Ví dụ: “ The world is round” he said---> he said that the world is round
2. Câu hỏi
A/ Câu hỏi có từ để hỏi
Câu hỏi có từ để hỏi được tường thuật bằng các động từ “ask, wonder or want to
know”. Các thay đổi giống như câu trần thuật. Trật tự từ câu được tường thuật giống như
câu trần thuật.
Ví dụ 'When did you start acting, Melissa?'-->Guy asked Melissa when she started acting.
Công thức:
S + asked + (O)/ wanted to know Wh question S + V ( one tense back) +.....
B/ Câu hỏi trả lời bằng Yes/ No
Khi tường thuật câu hỏi trả lời bằng Yes/ No ta sử dụng “if hoặc whether”.
Ví dụ
'Is there a cafe nearby?-->. Daniel asked if/whether there was a cafe nearby.
Công thức:
S + asked + (O)/ wanted to know if/ whether S + V ( one tense back) +.....
3. Câu cầu khiến.
Chúng ta sử dụng “tell và ask ” và to V để tường thuật câu cầu khiến
Ví dụ: 'Please move this car.' --> A policeman told me to move the car.
'Please don't wear those boots in the house.' --> I asked you not to wear those boots
in the house.
Công thức:
S + asked / told O to V/ not to V.

VII. RELATIVE CLAUSES
A. Lý thuyết
1. Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định và mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định
Trong Tiếng Anh, dùng đại từ quan hệ để nối các câu đơn thành câu phức tạo ra mệnh
đề phụ tính ngữ. Mệnh đề này được gọi là mệnh đề quan hệ. Có mệnh đề quan hệ xác định,
mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định và mệnh đề nối tiếp.
Dạng và cấu
trúc

Đặc điểm khác
Các từ chỉ
Restrictive/ Defining relative
clauses
Không có dấu phẩy chia tách
danh từ/ đại từ với mệnh đề
Miêu tả/ xác định cho danh từ/
đại từ phía trước
Đại từ quan hệ tân ngữ có thể
được lược bỏ
Who, that, which
Non-restrictive/ Non-defining relative
clauses
Có dấu phẩy chia tách danh từ/ đại từ
với mệnh đề
Bổ sung thêm thông tin cho danh

Who(m), that, which
Whose, of which
When, where, why
Who(m), which
Whose, of which
When, w here
2. Giới từ trong mệnh đề quan hệ
* Cuối M ĐQH: dùng được với tất cả ĐTQH ( that, whom, who, which) đồng thời cũng có
thể bỏ ĐTQH.
E.g: The room( which/that) the meeting was held in is very small.
* Đầu M ĐQH:
Có thể chuyển giới từ lên trước ĐTQH, nhưng chỉ dùng được which (for things),
whom not who (for persons) và không được lược bỏ ĐTQH
The room in which the meeting was held was very small
+ Đối với MDQH ko xđ ta ko dùng that, và không thể bỏ ĐTQH làm tân ngữ.
John, with whom Ann goes out, is a nice person
John, whom Ann goes out with, is a nice person.
3. Đại từ quan hệ được thay thế bởi đông tính từ (hiện tại, quá khứ) và to V.
a. Động tính từ hiện tại
Noun + Who/ Which + V2 (active)
Noun + V-ing –phrase
Eg 1: The boy who is playing with the dog is Nam’s brother.
=> The boy playing with the dog is Nam’s brother.
b. Động tính từ quá khứ
Noun + Who/ Which – be +P2 (passive)
Noun + P2 –phrase
Eg1: The girl who was injured in the accident is now in hospital.
=> The girl injured in the accident is now in hospital.
c. To V
The first/second/…(N) + Who/ Which + V2...
The first/second/…(N) + to V/ to be Vp2 …
Eg1: Who was the first man that stepped on the Moon?
=> Who was the first man to step on the Moon?
Notes:
+ We can use an infinitive to replace a relative clause.
+ We often use an infinitive after an ordinal number.
+ After next, last, only, after.
+ After a superlative adjective.

gian.
Mục đích của lần đọc thứ nhất là nắm được nội dung chính của bài, thời gian và bố cục của
bài. Việc này giúp các em rất nhiều trong việc suy luận và chọn ra câu trả lời đúng.
Bây giờ, hãy đọc lại bài, đọc kỹ lần lượt từng câu một, chú ý câu có chứa chỗ trống hoặc cả
câu sau nó. Với mỗi chỗ trống, xác định xem từ cần tìm là từ loại gì, đóng vai trò chức năng
gì trong câu và có nghĩa gì. Xem cả 4 đáp án đã cho và lựa chọn ra đáp án đúng.Chú ý
không dừng lâu ở những câu khó mà bỏ qua.
Các em có 3 phút để làm phần này
Nếu các em để ý, việc tìm từ điền chỗ trống trên cơ sở phân tích chức năng ngữ pháp và
nghĩa của từ cần tìm giúp các em xác định chính xác và có cơ sở giải thích cho việc tại sao
ta chọn từ này chứ không phải từ kia.
Bây giờ, các em hãy đọc lại cả bài với các từ đã điền và kiểm tra một lần nữa xem lựa chọn
của mình đã chính xác chưa. Với câu khó chưa tìm được đáp án, đây là lúc các em có thể
tìm ra đáp án. Nếu vẫn không tìm được, bỏ qua.Các em có 30 giây đến 1 phút để làm phần
này.
Chữa bài:
Hai chỗ trống số 1 và số 2 cùng nằm trong 1 câu.
Xét vị trí chỗ trống là trước một cụm danh từ “at the age of 18”, nên phải là một giới từ. Áp
dụng kiến thức về nhóm giới từ phổ biết đã học trong bài 14, ta biết
At được dùng trước cụm danh từ đi với 1 cụm danh từ chỉ địa chỉ, tuổi hoặc thời gian chính
xác (giờ). Vậy đáp án có thể là “At”.
Xét 3 lựa chọn còn lại đều là giới từ, nhưng in chỉ đứng trược cụm từ chỉ tuổi mang tính ước
lệ hay quãng tuổi. ví dụ: she is in her thirties ( cô ấy đang ở lứa tuổi trên 30 và dưới 40.).
Vậy nên A. bị loại.
Đáp án B. from có thể đứng trước một mốc thời gian cụ thể, nhưng với nghĩa đánh dấu khởi
đầu một giai đoạn đến nay, vậy nên cũng bị loại vì động từ và nghĩa của câu miêu tả một
hành động đã xảy ra, đã hoàn thành tại một thời điểm cụ thể trong quá khứ.
Đáp án D. On là đáp án hoàn toàn không phù hợp, vì on chỉ đứng trước danh từ chỉ ngày, kỳ
nghỉ hoặc chỉ một dịp ví dụ: on Monday hoặc on this occasion.
Vậy đáp án đúng à C. At
Câu 2. chỗ trống cần điền đứng sau một danh từ, phân cách bởi dấu , và trước động từ, nên
phải là đại từ chủ ngữ của một mệnh đề. Mệnh đề này bổ nghĩa cho danh từ chỉ người Anne
Hathaway. Vậy chỗ trống cần điền phải là một đại từ chủ ngữ chỉ người.
Xét 4 đáp án cho sẵn, ta thấy lựa chọn B. Whose và lựa chọn C. Which đều chỉ vật, nên hiển
nhiên sai. Lựa cọn D. Whom là đại từ chỉ người, nhưng là đại từ tân ngữ, nên cũng bị loại.
Đáp án đúng là A. who vì nó là đại từ chủ ngữ chỉ người và phụ hợp về mặt ngữ pháp với
chỗ trống cần điền.
Xét vị trí của chỗ trống, từ cần điền là 1 động từ.
Cả 4 lựa chọn đã cho đều là động từ, chỉ khác nhau về thời. Shakespeare đã qua đời, và
không còn viết kịch hay thơ ở hiện tại, nên đáp án A. write và C. writes là sai hiển nhiên.
Đáp án B. sai về mẫu câu, vì written là phân từ 2, nhưng trước nó lại không có trợ động từ.
đó là chưa nói đến ngữ nghĩa.
Xét ngữ cảnh, việc việt các vở kịch và thơ của Shakespeare đã hoàn thành trong quá khứ,
Động từ ở đây phải chia ở quá khứ đơn. Vậy nên đáp án đúng là D. wrote
Ta thấy chỗ trống số 4 đứng sau một tính từ sở hữu là his, vì vậy nó phải là một danh từ.
vậy nên đáp án B. played là sai. Trong các đáp án còn lại thì A. actors và C. films là không
phù hợp về nghĩa vì Shakespeare không làm phim và cũng không có diễn viên còn sống đến
nay. Vậy đáp án đúng là D. Plays
Vị trí cần điền số 5 là một động từ ở dạng phân từ 2 . Cả 4 đáp án đã cho đều là động từ
dạng này. Xét cấu trúc câu và ngữ cảnh, câu này có ý rằng nhiều vở diễn của Shakespeare
đã được làm thành phim.
Lựa chọn A là sai vì động từ thành ngữ to work something into something thường chỉ dùng
với nghĩa đen với nghĩa là rèn, nén hay trộn cái gì thành cái gì đó: ví dụ: she work the iron
into a knife. (cô ấy rèn thanh sắt thành cái dao)
Lựa chọn B. cũng sai vì tân ngữ của nó đứng trực tiếp sau nó, không có mẫu câu produce
into.
Lựa chọn C. sai vì không có mẫu câu do sthm into something
Để diễn tả ý chuyển hoặc làm cái gì thành cái gì, người ta thường dùng mẫu: to make
something into something và đấy và là động từ thành ngữ.
Đáp án đúng là D. made
Trên đây là ba bước và cách luyện tập và làm bài đọc điền từ.

CÁCH LÀM DẠNG BÀI CHỌN CÂU TRẢ LỜI ĐÚNG
Dạng bài thứ hai trong phần kỹ năng đọc là bài đọc hiểu. Bài đọc hiểu của đề thi tốt nghiệp
THPT có độ dài khoảng 200 từ, với 5 câu hỏi. Thời gian làm bài là khoảng 5 phút.
Với những loại văn bản có nội dung, độ dài, độ khó khác nhau, với mục đích đọc khác nhau
thì kỹ thuật làm bài đọc hiểu cũng khác nhau. Đối với bài đọc hiểu trong đề thi tốt nghiệp
THPT, các em cần chú ý:
1. Mục đích đọc là tìm thông tin để trả lời các câu hỏi cho trước, không phải là để học
từ vựng, ngữ pháp, lại càng không phải là để hiểu hết tất cả các thông tin mà bài
cung cấp
2. Thí sinh phải làm bài trong điều kiện sức ép thời gian và không được sử dụng phương
tiện hỗ trợ
3. Nội dung thuộc một chủ đề quen thuộc nhưng bài có từ mới
4. Bài đọc ngắn. Số lượng câu hỏi không quá nhiều.(5 câu hỏi)
Với đặc điểm này, các em hãy luyện tập và làm bài theo các bước như sau:
Dưới đây là 5 câu hỏi được sử dụng cho bài đọc hiểu trong đề thi tốt nghiệp THPT năm
2010.
Các em hãy đọc nhanh các câu hỏi và đáp án cho sẵn, đồng thời trả lời các câu hỏi sau:
1. Câu hỏi nào yêu cầu 1 thông tin chi tiết, cụ thể và chính xác
2. Câu hỏi nào yêu cầu người đọc phải đọc, tổng hợp thông tin và suy luận câu trả lời.
3. Câu hỏi nào yêu cầu đọc và tìm nội dung chính của bài
4. Câu hỏi nào yêu cầu tìm nghĩa của từ trong ngữ cảnh.
Các em có 30 giây đến 1 phút để thực hiện bước này. Trong bước này, các em chỉ tập trung
vào phân tích câu hỏi, không cần chú ý đến các đáp án đã cho.
Câu 1: ______ visit California’s national parks every year.
Câu 2: California is divided into ______.
Câu 3: What is Silicon Valley well known for?
Câu 4: Which of the following is NOT in Southern California?
Câu 5: Where are the desert areas found?
Trong 5 câu hỏi trên, 4 câu hỏi (câu 1.2.3 và 5) yêu cầu người đọc tìm thông tin chi tiết để
trả lời câu hỏi. Đối với dạng câu hỏi này, các em đọc nhanh từ đầu bài và tìm các từ khóa,
chỉ rõ vị trí thông tin mình cần tìm, dừng lại ở vị trí có thông tin cần tìm, đọc kỹ câu và trả
lời từng câu hỏi một.
Câu 4 có thể là một câu hỏi thông tin chi tiết, nhưng cũng có thể là câu hỏi yêu cầu người
đọc phải tổng hợp thông tin vì nó yêu cầu người đọc xác định cái gì không có ở Southern
California, chứ không phải cái có ở đó.
Với dạng câu hỏi tổng hợp thông tin và suy luận, các em phải tìm thông tin ở những phần
khác nhau và kết hợp lại thì mới trả lời được câu hỏi.
Bây giờ, chúng ta đọc bài và trả lời câu hỏi. Các từ khóa giúp xác định vị trí thông tin,
chính là tên địa danh được nêu. Các em dùng bút chì để gạch dưới các thông tin được dùng
để trả lời mỗi câu hỏi. Các em có 2-3 phút để làm phần này.

BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES
The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than
the words they are saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and
changes in our voice to communicate with each other. Although some body language is
universal, many gestures are culturally specific and may mean different things in different
countries.
If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say
no and shake it to say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with
your index finger or snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.
In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with
your hands in your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should
never show the soles of your feet or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult.
When eating, only use your right hand because they use their left hands when going to the
bathroom.
In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other
by clapping, and in India, whistling in public is considered rude.
In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a
meal to show that you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a
circle) means ‘everything is good’ in the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In
Japan, it means money, and in the Middle East, it is a rude gesture.
Question 1: It is mentioned in the passage that many gestures __________
A. may mean different things in different countries
B. are not used to communicate our feelings
C. can be used to greet each other in public
D. are used in greeting among men and women
Question 2: People nod their head to say no in __________
A. Belgium
B. Bulgaria
C. France
D. Japan
Question 3: In the Middle East, people do not use their left hands for eating because they
use their left hands ________
A.when going to the bathroom
B. when preparing the meal
C.to put in their pockets
D. to clean their tables and
chairs
Question 4: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. In France, people shouldn’t rest their feet on tables.
B. In Belgium, snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.
C. In China, the ‘OK’ sign means money
D. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping

The 23rd Southeast Asian Games were held in the Philippines from November 27th to
December 5th in 2005. The games were participated by the eleven nations of Southeast
Asia. This was the first time that the opening and closing ceremonies were held in a large
open field, despite the fact that Manila has many stadiums. The organization decided to hold
the games at an open space to accommodate the large number of participants and spectators.
As a result, the 2005 SEA Games ranked as having the largest audience - 200,000 people –
during the opening and closing ceremonies. These games were also noted for having the

experience and preparation for the upcoming Asian Games and Olympic Games. It was

(or best answers the question) about each passage.
The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be
more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called
traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to
believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs
among different American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all
current American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of
married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of
the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are
single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage,
about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live
together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single, usually divorced parents, with at
least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal.
Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family
forms other than the traditional one.
41.With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?
A. The traditional American family
B. The nuclear family
C. The current American family
D. The ideal family

A. there have always been a wide variety of family arrangement in the United
States
B. racial, ethnic, and religious groups have preserved the traditional family
structure
C. the ideal American family is the best structure
D. fewer married couples are having children

children represent _____.

D. 3 percent of households
45.Who generally constitutes a one-person household?
A. A single man in his twenties
B. An elderly man
C. A single woman in her late sixties
D. A divorced woman
V. Choose the word or phrase (A, B, C, or D) that best fits each space in the
following passage.

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 31 to 35.
Ever since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communications. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the
form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is completed
through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists,
and the local people unable to make themselves understood by each other through
speaking or writing have had to use this form of expression. Many of these symbols
of whole words are very lively and exact and can be used internationally, spelling,
however, cannot compare with them.
Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of showing that the party is only joking. A nod
means approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised
dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road
maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.
All in all, while words are the most common form of communication, other systems
and techniques nonlinguistic also play role of expressing human thoughts and
feelings.
Question 36: Which of the following best summarizes this passage?
A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.
B. Everyone uses only one form of communication.
C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.
D. Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest.
Question 37: Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. There are many forms of communication in existence today.
B. Verbalization is the most common form of communication.
C. The deaf and the mute use an oral form of communication.
D. Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language.
Question 38: Which form other than oral speech would be the most commonly used
among blind people?
A. Picture signs
B. Braille
C. Body language
D. Signal
flags
Question 39: How many different forms of communication are mentioned here?

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 31 to 35
All around the world, there are many endangered animals, largely because of
human progress. As the world’s population grows, humans move into new areas, create
more pollution, and use more natural resources. This all puts pressure on animals,
which cannot really compete with humans. An excellent example of this would be the
case of the leatherback sea turtle.
At 6.5 meters long, and up to 600 kilograms, the leatherback is the largest turtle on
Earth. It is also one of the most endangered. Scientists do not know the exact number of
leatherbacks because they spend their entire lives at sea. This makes them very difficult
to count. But female leatherbacks come on land to lay their eggs. From the number of
nests that scientists find, they can estimate the number of turtles. The numbers do not
show a good future for the leatherback. At one beach, scientists counted over 10,000
egg nests in 1954. In 1993, there were only 50 nests at the same beach. Scientists think
that the leatherback population is perhaps only 1% of what it was just 50 years ago.
Human development over the last 50 years is undoubtedly the reason for this.
Question 31: Based on the information in the passage, the term endangered animals
can be best explained as ____________ .
A. a kind of turtle
B. animals caught in fishing
nets
C. animals with very low numbers
D. animals in areas where
humans live
Question 32: According to paragraph 1, humans pressure the animals in all of the
following ways EXCEPT ____________.
A. by adding to pollution
B. by moving into new areas
C. by killing the animals
D. by using natural resources
Question 33: The word them in line 7 refers to ___________ .
A. scientists
B. leatherbacks
C. nests
D. eggs
Question 34: According to paragraph 2, why is it difficult to count the numbers of
leatherback turtles?
A. They swim very fast.
B. They are scared of humans.
C. Their nests are hard to find.
D. They spend most of their
lives in the sea.
Question 35: The word estimate in line 8 is closest in meaning to_________ .
A. study

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct word (s) for each of the blanks from 46 to 50.
The diseases connected to smoking are a big problem. Doctors think that the
annual medical cost for lung cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses connected to
smoking is between 12 and 35 million pounds. And smoking costs society money in
other ways. Between 27 and 61 billion pounds are spent each year on sick days when
people don’t go to work, on wages that you don’t get when you don’t go to work,
and on work lost at the company when you are sick.
This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and
stop paying taxes. This does not count fire started by cigarettes, which kill fifteen
hundred people yearly and injure another four thousand. Smoking costs every man,
woman and child in the UK from one hundred and ten to two hundred and fifty
pounds yearly in insurance cost, that comes to one hundred and sixty to four hundred
and ten pounds. If everyone stopped smoking, a family of four could have up to one
thousand six hundred and forty founds a year more. Smoking will also cause other
problems. People who don’t smoke will live longer and so they will take money
from the government when they are old. But they will also work for more years and
pay more taxes.
In the end, the value of a non-smoking nation is not in pounds. The good
health of people is the true value for us all.
Question 46: If everyone stopped smoking, all the United Kingdom_________.
A. would have more money
B. would be sick
C. would have less money
D. would have more problems
Question 47: Every year companies lose ________ because of diseases connected to
smoking.
A. money
B. work
C. wages
D. time
Question 48: How much could a family of four have more each year if everyone
stopped smoking?
A. From 110 to 260 pounds
B. From 1,340 to 1,430 pounds
C. From 160 to 410 pounds
D. 1,640 pounds
Question 49: What is the true value for the UK of not smoking?
A. More working B. More taxes
C. Good health
D. More money
Question 50: What is this text about?
A. Taxes are not paid by smoke.
B. Diseases that smokers get.
C. Smoking costs the UK.
D. The UK get more money.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer

On 8 August 1967, five leaders - the Foreign Ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia,
the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand- sat down together in the main hall of the
Department of Foreign Affairs building in Bangkok, Thailand and signed a
document. By virtue of that document, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) was born. The five Foreign Ministers who signed it have been considered
as the founders of probably the most successful intergovernmental organization in
the developing world today. The document that they signed would be known as the
ASEAN Declaration.
It is a short, simply-worded document containing just five articles. It declares the
establishment of an Association for Regional Cooperation among the Countries of
Southeast Asia to be known as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
and spells out the aims and purposes of that Association. These aims and purposes
are about the cooperation in economy, society, culture, techniques, education and
other fields, and in the promotion of regional peace and stability through abiding
respect for justice and the principles of the United Nations Charter. It stipulates that
the Association will be open for participation by all States in the Southeast Asian
region subscribing to its aims, principles and purposes. It proclaims ASEAN as
representing the collective will of the nations of Southeast Asia to bind themselves
together in friendship and cooperation and, through joint efforts and sacrifices,
secure for their peoples and for posterity the blessings of peace, freedom and
prosperity. The goal of ASEAN, then, is to create, not to destroy.
The original ASEAN logo presented five brown sheaves of rice stalks, one for each
founding member. Beneath the sheaves is the legend "ASEAN" in blue. These are
set on a field of yellow encircled by a blue border. Brown stands for strength and
stability, yellow for prosperity and blue for the spirit of cordiality in which ASEAN
affairs are conducted. When ASEAN celebrated its 30th Anniversary in 1997, the
sheaves on the logo had increased to ten -representing all ten countries of Southeast
Asia and reflecting the colors of the flags of all of them. In a very real sense,
ASEAN and Southeast Asia will be one and the same, just as the founders had
envisioned.
Question 31: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations ____________.
A. consists of some Western nations
B. was established by the Philippines
C. was founded on 8 August 1967
D. was established by the Minister of the Department of Foreign Affairs of
Thailand
Question 32: The pronoun it in the first paragraph refers to _____________.
A. the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
B. the most successful inter-governmental organization
C. Bangkok
D. the ASEAN Declaration
Question 33: Which adjective can be used to describe the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations?
A. successful
B. illegal
C. nongovernmental
D. developing
Question 34: Which does not belong to the purpose and aim of the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations?
A. friendship
B. destruction
C. creation
D.
cooperation
Question 35:Up to 1997 how many countries there have been in ASEAN?
A. 5
B. 6
C. 8

Nowadays gymnastics are very popular in China and some other Asian countries.
Modern gymnastics began there in the nineteenth century. In 1811, an outdoor gymnastics
centre for men was open in Berlin where they could do bodybuilding and exercises on a
high bar and other pieces of equipment.
Dance is an important part of training as it prepares you for the types of movement
required in gymnastics. One of the aims is to make the body stronger for jumps and turns. In
competitions, women perform the exercises with music so dance, gymnastics and music are
connected.
To become a top gymnast, it is important to start when very young, that is, when you
are still in your kindergarten with simple exercises. Boys developed physically later than
girls so Olympic gymnastics medals are usually won by men between the ages of nineteen
and twenty-five while girl champions are fourteen or fifteen years old.

A. In Africa in the 19th century.
B. In Europe in the 19th century.

Question 47: What did Berlin set up the gymnastics centre for in 1811?
A. For men to do gymnastics with equipment.
B. For women to do gymnastics.
C. For people to do outdoors gymnastics.
D. For men to do gymnastics without equipment
Question 48: Why is dance an important part of gymnastics training?
A. Because it helps you to be stronger.
B. Because it is a sport.
C. Because it includes the types of movements required in gymnastics.
D. Because it makes you jump and turn.
Question 49: What does a gymnast have to do to become a top gymnast?
A. He/ She starts training when very young. B. He/ She starts with simple exercises
C. He/ She developed physically quickly.
D. A and B are correct.
Question 50:Why are women younger than men among the Olympic medal winners?

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
I'm interested in sports, especially athletics, and I run seven or eight kilometres
every day. I particularly enjoy cross country running, where you have to run across fields,
jump over streams and so on. While I'm running I think about all sorts of things, and at the
end of a run I'm sometimes surprised to find that I've managed to solve a problem that was
on my mind. Next year, I'm going to try the London Marathon. It's a long, hard race -26
miles, or 42 kilometres - and you have to be tough to finish, but I really want to do it. I
worry a bit about getting too old, and I'd like to prove to myself that I'm still almost as fit as
I was twenty years old.
I'm interested in mountaineering as well as running. I'll never become an expert
climber, but I know what I'm doing in the mountains. I successfully completed a course in
snow and ice climbing when I was younger; and I've done a series of easy climbs in the
Alps during the last few years. My wife doesn't share my interest in mountains. She agreed
to go climbing with me once, but she found that she felt ill as soon as she got above 1,000
metres.

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 31 to 35.
Species that belong to an area are said to be native species. Typically, they have
been part of a given biological landscape for a long period, and they are well adapted
to the local environment and to the presence of other native species in the same
general habitat. Exotic species are interlopers, foreign elements introduced
intentionally or accidentally into new settings through human activities. In one
context an introduced species may cause no obvious problems and may, over time,
be regarded as being just as "natural" as any native species in the same habitat. In
another context, exotics may seriously disrupt delicate ecological balances and create
a cascade of unintended consequences. The worst of these unintended consequences
arise when introduced species put native species in destruction by preying on them,
altering their habitats, or out-competing them in the struggle for food resources.
Although biological introductions have affected environments the world over, the
most destructive, effects have occurred on islands, where introduced insects, cats,
pigs, rats, mongooses, and other nonnative species have caused the grave
endangerment or outright extinction of literally hundreds of species during the past
500 years.
One of other reason to cause species extinction is overexploitation. This word
refers to the utilization of a species at a rate that is likely to cause its extreme
endangerment or outright extinction. Among many examples of severe
overexploitation, the case of the great whales stands out in special relief. By the
middle of the 20th century, unrestricted whaling had brought many species of whales
to incredibly low population sizes. In response to public pressure, in 1982 a number
of nations, including the USA, agreed to an international moratorium on whaling. As
a direct result, some whale species which are thought to have been on extinction's
doorstep 25 years ago have made amazing comebacks, such as grey whales in the
western Pacific. Others remain at great risk. Many other species, however, continue
to suffer high rates of exploitation because of the trade in animal parts. Currently, the
demand for animal parts is centered in several parts of Asia where there. is a strong
market for traditional medicines made from items like tiger bone and rhino horn.

A. are not used to the local environment
B. B. never get along well with other native species in the same environment

Question 32: Exotic species ______________.
A. do no harm to native species and the local environment
B. may kill native species for food
C. always share the environment peacefully with native species
D. help to make the local environment more ideal to survive

A. non-native species have caused badly damage to native ones
B. introducing new exotic species to local environments is necessary
C. exotic species have never been introduced on islands
D. very few native species have been damaged by exotic species
