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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

           Mercury is the smallest member of the sun's family. It is only 3.100 miles across. It is also the sun's swiftest planet. Its yearly journey round the sun is only 85 days.

           Mercury always keeps one side towards the sun. On this side it is always day, on the other side always night. We only see the lighted side.

           Mercury appears to us like a yellowish orange star. The nearest planet to the sun, it is always seen near the sun, either just before sunrise or soon after sunset. People sometimes call mercury the morning star or evening star. Mercury is half the size of the earth. Because it is much lighter, it has much less gravity. If you can visit Mercury in a spaceship, you will find it a strange world. Its low gravity makes you feel very light. If your weight on earth is 100 pounds, your weight on Mercury is only 27 pounds. Looking at the sun from Mercury, you can see that it's much more brilliant than it is seen from the earth. And the yellow centre of the sun appears three times bigger from Mercury. On its lighted side, Mercury's temperature is about 300 degrees centigrade. But the dark side is extremely cold, but 150 degrees below zero so mercury is probably the coldest as well as the hottest of the planets.

A. Mercury is nearer to the sun                B. Mercury has got less gravity than the earth
