Question 17-20: Read and choose the correct answer 

DISCOVERY OF SON DOONG CAVE 

From an early age, local man Ho Khanh used to spend weeks on end trekking and maneuvering his way through the jungles of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, searching for food and timber to earn a modest income. 

In 1990, while out on a hunting mission, Ho Khanh stumbled across an opening in a limestone cliff and moved forward to investigate. As he approached, he noticed clouds billowing out of the entrance, and could hear the sounds of a river raging from somewhere inside the cave. 

When he could feel a strong wind also blowing out from the cave, he decided to move on without further inspection. By the time he had returned to his home a few days later, he had forgotten its exact location and thought no more of it. 

At the same time, two members of the British Cave Research Association (BCRA), Howard and Deb Limbert, were basing themselves in Phong Nha to conduct exploratory cave expeditions in the area. While chatting with Ho Khanh one say, he mentioned to the caving experts that he had found a cave with clouds and a river inside. Howard and Deb were intrigued and urged Ho Khanh to try and rediscover the cave. After many failed attempts, they began to think this elusive cavern might remain lost in the jungle forever more. 

In 2008, while out on another food gathering trip, Ho Khanh found the mysterious opening again and studiously took note of the path on how to get there. In 2009, he led Howard, Deb and a team of professional back to the cave for the first expedition to enter what would later become known as Hang Son Doong, or “Mountain River Cave”

Question 17- 20: Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the answer to each of the following questions. 

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.  

Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. 

Every year on December 10th , the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II . Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.  

17.  Why was the Nobel prize established? 

A. To recognise worthwhile contributions to humanity. 

B. To resolve political differences. 

C. To honour the inventor of dynamite. 

D. To spend money.  

18.  In which area have Americans received the most awards?  

A. Literature     B. Peace           C. Economics   D. Science  

19.  Which of the following statements is not true? 

A. Awards vary in monetary value. 

B. Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel's invention. 

C. Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners. 

D. A few individuals have won two awards.  

20. In how many fields are the prizes bestowed?   

A. 2                  B. 5                  C. 6   D. 10

As for me, mastering a foreign language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Traveling 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.

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

“Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world”. That is because the television program can be seen in so many parts of the world.  

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.

A. the longest street in the United States. B. shown in many countries

Bài 1,
Trái nhót như ngọn đèn tín hiệu 
Trỏ lối sang mùa hè 
Quả cà chua như ngọn đèn lồng 
Thắp mùa đông ấm những đêm thâu 

Quả ớt như ngọn lửa đèn dầu
Chạm đầu lưỡi- chạm vào sức nóng
Mạch đất ta dồi dào sức sống
Nên nhành cây cũng thắp sáng quê hương
(Trích Lửa đèn- Phạm Tiến Duật)

1. Theo em tại sao tác giả viết “Mạch đất ta dồi dào sức sống/ Nên nhành cây cũng thắp sáng quê
hương” ?

 

Bài 2, Hãy đọc đoạn trích sau :

Quê hương
   Chị Sứ yêu biết bao nhiêu cái chốn này, nơi chị đã oa oa cất tiếng khóc đầu tiên, nơi quả ngọt, trái sai đã thắm hồng da dẻ chị. Chính tại nơi này, mẹ chị đã hát ru chị ngủ. Và đến lúc làm mẹ, chị lại hát ru con những câu hát ngày xưa. Chị Sứ yêu Hòn Dất bằng cái tình yêu hầu như là máu thịt. Chị thương ngôi nhà sàn lâu năm có cái bậc thang, nơi mà bất cứ lúc nào đứng đó, chị cũng có thể nhìn thấy sóng biển, thấy xóm nhà xen lẫn trong vườn cây, thấy rượng đồng, thấy núi Ba Thê vòi vọi xanh lam cứ mỗi buổi hoàng hôn lại hiện trắng những cánh cò. Ánh nắng lên tới bờ cát, lướt qua những thân tre nghiêng nghiêng, vàng óng. Nắng đã chiếu sáng lòa cửa biển. Xóm lưới cũng ngập trong nắng đó. Sứ nhìn những làn khói bay lên từ các mái nhà chen chúc của bà con làng biển. Sứ còn thấy rõ những vạt lưới đan bằng sợi ni lông óng
vàng, phất phơ bên cạnh những vạt lưới đen ngăm, trùi trũi. Nắng sớm đẫm chiếu người Sứ. Ánh nắng chiếu vào đôi mắt chị, tắm mượt mái tóc, phủ đầy đôi bờ vai tròn trịa của chị.
(Trích Hòn Đất, Anh Đức)
1. Hãy nêu cảm nhận của em về hình ảnh “nắng quê hương” trong đoạn trích?

2. Quê hương- Đất Mẹ đó là những tiếng gọi bình dị, thiêng liêng trong trái tim mỗi người con đất
Việt. Hãy viết một đoạn văn nêu cảm nhận của em với Quê hương- Đất Mẹ thân thương.

Bài 1: Những năm tháng xa quê, dông tố cuộc đời tưởng chừng cuốn bay tất cả nhưng trong tâm tư tôi, những con sông quê mênh mang vẫn cuồn cuộn chảy, những dòng kinh biêng biếc vẫn lặng lờ trôi. Tôi yêu những cánh đồng bao la vàng rực ngày mùa, mù mù khói rạ, thơm vị mía lùi và trắng xóa sương mù sau Tết. Yêu cả tiếng chuông chùa ngân thăm thẳm canh
khuya. Tôi yêu ánh nắng chiều tà rải màu vàng tái trên rẫy khoai mì, nghiêng nghiêng bên
triền núi.
Đọc đoạn văn, em có cảm nhận gì về tình yêu của nhà văn Mai Văn Tạo dành cho
quê hương của mình?

Bài 2: Trong bài thơ “Cây vú sữa trong vườn Bác”, nhà thơ Quốc Tấn có viết:

"Cành cây lá nắng xôn xao
Chim reo như đón Bác vào đâu đây"

Theo em tại sao thay vì dùng từ "lao xao" hay "rì rào", tác giả lại dùng từ "xôn
xao" để nói về niềm vui của cảnh vật trong vườn Bác khi đón Bác trở về?
