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.
Last week, I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the world, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity such as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.
One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of 20,000 over two years, grants are available. A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government help.
“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young people”, as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. “You learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don’t like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn’t believe how much less I argued with my sister.”
To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really seem to work.
Câu 36. What does the word "they" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. exams B. students C. difficulties D. rivers
Câu 37. What is the percentage of British students at Atlantic College?
A. 25% B. 75% C. 50% D. 20%
Câu 38. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A. Describe the activities the students do in their free time.
B. Give an opinion about a particular student.
C. Describe his own experience of education.
D. Give an opinion about a special type of education.
Câu 39. Why does Barbara admire Atlantic College?
A. Students can receive government help.
B. The students come from many different social backgrounds and countries.
C. The college uses effective methods.
D. The college has tried to encourage international understanding among young people.
Câu 40. Which activity is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Taking care of people with learning difficulties.
B. Helping on the farm.
C. Going boating in rivers.
D. Checking for pollution in rivers.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. There are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general donot speak foreign languages very well is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill – one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of languages, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place.
Question 28. The writer argues that going about the problem of pronunciation in the wrong way is________.
A.a consequence of not grasping the problem correctly
B.not an obvious cause of speaking poorly
C.an obvious cause of not grasping the problem correctly.
D.a fundamental consequence of not speaking well
Question 29. The underlined word “aspects” in the passage probably means________.
A.sentences B.words C.pronunciation D.parts
Question 30. The best way of learning to speak a foreign language, he suggests, is by_________.
A.taking on systematic work
B.picking it up naturally as a child
C.not concentrating much on pronunciation
D.learning from a native speaker
Question 31. The underlined word “one” in the passage refers to_________.
A.special kind B.skill C.careful training D.itself
Question 32. What does the writer actually say about pronouncing foreign
languages?
A.No one is really an expert in the skill.
B.Only a few people are really proficient.
C.There are a lot of people who are moderately proficient.
D.There aren’t many people who are even fairly good.

[PASSAGE 1] READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE LETTER A, B, C, OR D TO INDICATE THE CORRECT ANSWER TO EACH OF THE QUESTIONS.
Any list of the greatest thinkers in history contains the name of the brilliant German physicist Albert Einstein. His theories of relativity led to entirely new ways of thinking about time, space, matter, energy, and gravity. Einstein's work led to such scientific advances as the control of atomic energy, even television as a practical application of Einstein's work. In 1902, Einstein became an examiner in the Swiss patent office at Bern. In 1905, at age 26, he published the first of five major research papers. The first one provided a theory explaining Brownian movement, the zig¬zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension. The second paper laid the foundation for the photon, or quantum, theory of light. In it, he proposed that light is composed of separate packets of energy, called quanta or photons, that have some of the properties of particles and some of the properties of waves. A third paper contained the "special theory of relativity" which showed that time and motion are relative to the observer if the speed of light is constant and the natural laws are the same everywhere in the universe. The fourth paper was a mathematical addition to the special theory of relativity. Here Einstein presented his famous formula, E = m(cc), known as the energy-mass equivalence. In 1916, Einstein published his general theory of relativity. In it, he proposed that gravity is not a force, but a curve in the space-time continuum, created by the presence of mass. Einstein spoke out frequently against nationalism, the exalting of one nation above all others. He opposed war and violence and supported Zionism, the movement to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, they denounced his ideas. He then moved to the United States. In 1939, Einstein learned that two German chemists had split the uranium atom. Einstein wrote to President Franklin d. Roosevelt warning him that this scientific knowledge could lead to Germany developing an atomic bomb. He suggested the United States begin its own atomic bomb research.

B. nationalism
C. atomic bomb research in the United States.
D. the defeat of the Nazis.
Question 4: In which country was Einstein born?
A. Switzerland B. United States C. Germany D. Israel
Question 5: What is the "Brownian movement"?
A. The zig-zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension

C. time and motion are relative to the observer.
D. some solids emit electrons when struck by light.
Question 9: In line 15, the word "exalting" most nearly means
A. elevation B. criticism C. support D. elimination
Question 10: According to Einstein, light is composed of separate packets of energy called
A. electrons B. photoelectrons C. quanta D. gamma rays
[PASSAGE 2] READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE LETTER A, B, C, OR D TO INDICATE THE CORRECT ANSWER TO EACH OF THE QUESTIONS.
The human criterion for perfect vision is 20/20 for reading the standard lines on a Snellen eye chart without a hitch. The score is determined by how well you read lines of letters of different sizes from 20 feet away. But being able to read the bottom line on the eye chart does not approximate perfection as far as other species are concerned. Most birds would consider us very visually handicapped. The hawk, for instance, has such sharp eyes that it can spot a dime on the sidewalk while perched on top of the Empire State Building. It can make fine visual distinctions because it is blessed with one million cones per square millimetre in its retina. And in water, humans are farsighted, while the kingfisher, swooping down to spearfish, can see well in both the air and water because it is endowed with two foveae - areas of the eye, consisting mostly of cones, that provide visual distinctions. One fovea permits the bird, while in the air, to scan the water below with one eye at a time. This is called monocular vision. Once it hits the water, the other fovea joins in, allowing the kingfisher to focus both eyes, like binoculars, on its prey at the same time. A frog's vision is distinguished by its ability to perceive things as a constant motion picture. Known as "bug detectors", a highly developed set of cells in a frog's eyes responds mainly to moving objects. So, it is said that a frog sitting in a field of dead bugs wouldn't see them as food and would starve.
The bee has a "compound" eye, which is used for navigation. It has 15,000 facets that divide what it sees into a pattern of dots or mosaic. With this kind of vision, the bee sees the sun only as a single dot, a constant point of reference. Thus, the eye is a superb navigational instrument that constantly measures the angle of its line of flight in relation to the sun. A bee's eye also gauges flight speed. And if that is not enough to leave our 20/20 "perfect vision" paling into insignificance, the bee is capable of seeing something we can't - ultraviolet light. Thus, what humans consider to be "perfect vision" is in fact rather limited when we look at other species. However, there is still much to be said for the human eye. Of all the mammals, only humans and some primates can enjoy the pleasures of colour vision.
Question 1: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. limits of the human eye B. perfect vision
C. different eyes for different uses D. eye variation among different species
Question 2: The word "criterion" in line 1 is closest in meaning to
A. standard B. need C. expectation D. rule
Question 3: The phrase "without a hitch" is closest in meaning to
A. unaided B. without glasses
C. with little hesitation D. easily
Question 4: According to the passage, why might birds and animals consider humans very visually handicapped?
A. humans can't see very well in either air or water
B. human eyes are not as well suited to our needs
C. the main outstanding feature of human eyes is colour vision
D. human eyes can't do what their eyes can do
Question 5: The word "that" in line 8 refers to
A. foveae B. areas of the eye C. cones D. visual distinctions
Question 6: According to the passage, "bug detectors" are useful for
A. navigation B. seeing moving objects
C. avoiding bugs when getting food D. avoiding starvation
Question 7: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. kingfishers have monocular vision
B. bees see patterns of dots
C. hawks eyes consist mostly of cones that can allow it to scan with one eye at a time
D. humans are farsighted in water
Question 8: Where in the passage does the author discuss that eyes are useful for avoiding starvation?
A. lines1-3 B. lines 4-6 C. lines 12-14 D. lines 17-20
Question 9: The phrase "paling into insignificance" is closest in meaning to
A. fading away B. of less importance
C. without coloured light D. being reduced to little importance
Question 10: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. eyes have developed differently in each species
B. bees have the most complex eye
C. humans should not envy what they don't need
D. perfect vision is not perfect
Good luck to you all!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer shee correct answer for each of the questions from 36 to 40. Being fluent in more than one language has numerous advantages that extend beyond communication. Multilingualism offers cognitive, social, and professional benefits, making it a valuable skill in today's interconnected world. One of the cognitive benefits of multilingualism is improved memory and attention. Learning and switching between different languages exercises the brain, enhancing its ability to remember and process information. Multilingual individuals often display better problem-solving skills and increased mental flexibility. In terms of social benefits, being multilingual allows for better cross-cultural understanding and empathy. Language is closely tied to culture, and by speaking multiple languages, individuals gain insights into different cultural perspectives. This promotes tolerance, open-mindedness, and the ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. Professionally, being multilingual opens up a world of opportunities. In an increasingly globalized job market, employers value individuals who can communicate effectively with international partners and clients. Multilingual employees are often sought after in industries such as tourism, diplomacy, and international business. Moreover, learning multiple languages can boost academic performance. Research has shown that multilingual students tend to have better problem-solving skills, enhanced creativity, and improved overall academic achievement. While learning multiple languages requires dedication and effort, the benefits are well worth it. It not only broadens one's horizons but also contributes to personal growth and understanding of the world. Question 36: Which could be the best title for the passage? A.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Forty-three percent of the world’s population can speak two languages fluently. Bilingualism presents obvious benefits, such as being able to communicate with many more people. However, does being bilingual actually make one smarter? Bilingual people have a stronger executive function which results in a heightened ability to switch between tasks, a more efficient monitoring system, and a heightened cognitive ability. Adults aren’t the only ones who experience these benefits; infants, children, and the elderly can benefit as well.
Bilingual people have a heightened ability to monitor their environment, which results in more efficient monitoring systems. People that speak more than one language often have to switch between languages. This means that they often have to suppress one language when talking in another language. This helps bilingual and polylingual people suppress irrelevant information.
Many people think that when children learn to speak two languages it damages their cognitive growth; this is simply not true. Although there is evidence that shows that sometimes one language can obstruct another language when a child is talking, there are benefits for bilingual children. This shows that although bilingual children might have trouble in their first years of speaking, the long-term benefits of bilingualism outweigh those troubles. A 2004 study showed that bilingual pre-schoolers were better able to solve mental puzzles and switch between tasks than their monolingual classmates.
Infants and the elderly can also benefit from bilingualism. A recent study revealed that the seven-month-old infants that had been exposed to more than one language were better able to switch between tasks. Bilingualism can also benefit the elderly. A study taken at the University of California in San Diego showed that the more fluent someone was in a second language, the more resistant they were to onset dementia and Alzheimer’s. This is likely because they have a stronger executive function, therefore they are better able to remember things.
Bilingual people have a unique way of viewing the world and their surroundings. Some languages can give insight into a specific culture. Also, bilingualism can give someone more creativity, which can result in someone “viewing” the world in a different way. A person that can speak more than one language is also better able to communicate with people that speak said language, so they are better able to understand that culture. This can make bilinguals and people who are polylingual more empathetic and better able to understand other people.
28. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Bilingual people view the world differently B. Being able to speak two languages prevents dementia
C. How bilingualism benefits children D. Benefits of being a bilingual person
29. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about bilingualism according to the passage?
A. Bilingual children might face difficulties in their first years of speaking.
B. Bilingual people have a stronger executive function.
C. Children’s cognitive growth is negatively affected when learning two languages at a time.
D. Those who speak two or more languages understand other people better.
30. Which of the following words can best replace the word ‘outweigh’ in line number 4 of the third paragraph?
A. pass B. fail C. win D. beat
31. What might NOT be the result of having a strong executive function?
A. a more efficient monitoring system B. a heightened ability to switch between tasks
C. a better hand-eye coordination D. a heightened cognitive ability
32. What does the word this in line number 3 of the second paragraph refer to?
A. Bilingual people having to switch between languages
B. Heightened ability to monitor the environment
C. Bilingual people trying not to speak the other language when using one language
D. One language obstructing the other

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
To accomplish a three-dimensional or 3D effect in a movie, two steps are necessary. First, the movie needs to be shot a special way. Then, the movie needs to be viewed in a special way. To shoot a 3D movie, it is necessary to use two cameras at the same time. This is different from a regular movie, which is shot with only one camera. The two cameras are placed next to each other. The placement of the cameras imitates how two eyes each see one scene from a different perspective. The same picture is shot by each of the cameras at the same time, but each of the cameras films the scene from a different angle because of the position of the cameras.
When you go to the theater to view a 3D, you must wear special glasses to get the three-dimensional effect. [40A] Both pieces of film are projected simultaneously; when the pieces of film are projected at the same time, the special glasses then force each of your two eyes to see the film in a different way. [40B] Your left eye sees the film shot with the left camera, and your right eye sees the film shot with the right camera. [40C] If you try to watch the movie without the special glasses, it will seem like you have double vision. [40D]
