There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day as house keeper at Monk's House. The floors
in the house were very thin. The bathroom was directly above the kitchen, and when Mrs. Smith was having a bath
before breakfast, I could hear her talking to herself. Mrs. Smith's bedroom was outside the house in the garden; Her
bed room had been added on to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window at the side opened out
on to a field. When we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs. Smith's room I noticed that she had always been working
during the night. There were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up she could work, and
sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep. I can always remember her coming to the house each
day from the writing- room. I always rang the bell for lunch at one o'clock. She was tall and thin and very graceful.
She had large, deep-set eyes and a wide curving mouth - I think perhaps this that made her face seem particularly
beautiful. She wore long skirts - usually blue or brown - in the fashion of the day, and silk jackets of different
colour. Her clothes suited her well. I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk's House - Mr. and Mrs. Smith were
very particular about coffee and always made it themselves - so Mr. Smith came into the kitchen at eight o'clock
every morning to make coffee for him and his wife. I pressed clothes for Mrs. Smith and did any sewing that was
necessary-she was not able to sew, although sometimes she liked to try. There was one thing in the kitchen that she
was very good at doing: she could make beautiful bread.
71. What was particularly unusual about Monk's House?
A. The bathroom was next door to the kitchen.

A. She did a great deal of writing at night.
B. She worked in the garden whenever she could.
C. She preferred to write in the house.
D. She sometimes wrote in the bath.
73. Mrs. Smith wore clothes which were____ .
A. in matching colour
B. designed for her only. C. suitable for country life D. rather dull and unattractive
74. Mr. Smith's attitude towards his wife seemed to be that____ .

B. he led a very separate life
C. he did what he could for her.
D. he watched over her all the time

to their dinner. We had used the Hotel Melia before but there was a conference in it so it was fully booked. When I
announced our arrival at the reception desk of the new hotel, they said they were full. I had booked rooms for the
group but the manager said they were cancelled by phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognized my voice
and that I had made the phone call. We had a bit of argument but they obviously didnt have enough rooms. In the
end the manager phoned other hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels. By this

Can you imagine a world without words? The main way that we communicate with each other is by using
words. We can communicate either by speaking and listening or by writing and reading. With words, we can give
and receive information, ideas, orders and instructions.
People have used writing to communicate for about 7000 years. At first, they used to draw simple pictures to
represent objects, such as people and animals. Then people started to put pictures together to represent something
more difficult, like a sentence. The next step in the development of writing was to use symbols, or signs. These
symbols represented the sounds of words and not their meanings.
Finally, the alphabet from which modern English comes was invented in about 1500 BC. The people who
invented the alphabet used a set of symbols to represent the sound o. This symbol is still used to the same sound
today. Many languages are written with letters of an alphabet, including Vietnamese.

In 776 B.C. the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greeks' chief
god, Zeus. The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in
running, jumping, discus and javelin throwing, boxing, and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities,
and the winners competed every four years at Mount Olympus. The Greeks greatly honored their winners by placing

IS WINNING EVERYTHING? Ask kids and the answer is probably "No". Ask the adults and the answer is
probably "Yes". And it is adults who control sports for young people - with terrible results for many kids. Twenty
millions of children between the ages of eight and sixteen play organized sports outside of school. Their experiences
are sometimes very bad. Why? Because of the adults, often their parents, who watch the games. Children's sports are
organized like professional sports Children play baseball and football. They wear all the equipment that professional
athletes wear. They have uniforms and umpires and referees and leagues. They have games. And many people come
to watch their games, especially the families of the players. Because the children's games are like adults,
professional games, their parents want adult professional competition. When a child drops a ball, his father becomes
angry. When a child doesn't run fast, his mother might shout , "Run faster! Run faster!" And the child? With an angry
father and a shouting mother, this is not a happy time. Unhappy and nervous, the child wants to stop playing. The
game is not fun now. But he or she can't stop, because the competition is not finished.

Is your life full of stress? Maybe it is your astrological sign. A study in Australia last year said signs with the
most stress are Aquarius (Jan 20 to Feb 18), Gemini (May 21 to June 20) Virgo (Aug 23 to Sept 22) and Cancer
(June 21 to July 22). The people who have peaceful lives are under the signs of Pisces (Feb 21 to March 20) ,
Scorpio (Oct 23 to Nov 22, and Taurus (April 21 to May 20). Kathleen Johnson, a Vermont astrologer, decided to
continue the work. . She now has a stress chart that decides which marriages and friendships will be most
harmonious and which will be most stressed. Johnson says that any sign together with Pisces or Scorpio will
probably have an easy and peaceful time. But signs that are put together with Aquarius would always be stressed.
And marriage of Aquarius to Aquarius have no possibility of success. Says Johnson, "We should all work together. If
I know something as an astrologer that would help you as a doctor or psychotherapist, why not?"

What makes a chicken happy? "I don't know," admits Ari van Tienhoven, an animal physiologist at Cornell
University. "If you are talking about individual chicken, egg production is a good indicator." It seems that chicken

Toast is less flattening than bread. Toast has all the same calories as bread. Many diet plans call for a slice of
dry toast with a meal. This slice of toast has the same 60 to 70 calories that a slice of bread has. Toasting removes
only moisture. So if you are watching calories, eat your bread plain or toasted as you like it. Just don't add butter and
jam. COFFEE or a cold shower can sober up a drunk. In fact these and other activities don't. A cold shower is
useless. A full meal does no good. Food can slow down the speed that alcohol goes into the blood, but only if you eat
and drink at the same time. Coffee can make a tipsy person seem more alert because of the caffeine, but the strongest
coffee will not return his reflexes or sense of judgment. Two cups of coffee don't change a drinker into a safe driver.
Drunkenness is caused by a lot of alcohol in the blood. You can do a little or nothing to make a person less drunk. So
if you have a drunk that you want to sober up, drive him home and tell him to sleep for eight hours.
71. When does a person eat dry toast?
A. When they are very hungry.
B. When they are on a diet.
C. When they are too fat.
D. When they are having dinner.
72. What is the best help for a drunk person?
A. Two cups of coffee.B. Eight hours of sleep. C. A cold shower.
D. A glass of lemonade.
73. Eating food while you are drinking a lot ____.
A. will make you more alert and give you better judgment. C. will make you feel drunk more quickly.
B. will slow down the speed that alcohol enters your blood. D. will help make you not get drunk.

A. have faster reflexes.

We all want the best for our children: the best clothes and toys, the best schools, the best friends, the best life
possible. As parents, we watch our kids' homework and the games they play, and we are careful to watch for alcohol,
drugs, or violence in their lives. When we hear a car crash we make sure that our kids are not hurt. But we do not
take them into the street to see the glass and the blood and the people hurt in the accident. So why do we let our
children watch the TV shows that they choose. There are excellent programs on television for children. These
programs are made for children, with valuable lessons for children about good and bad things, and about positive
and negative actions. There are also terrible, upsetting programs on TV that are not made for children. These shows
are made with violence, sex, or horror as the main subject. And now, because of VCRs, we can also bring movies
like "Jaws" or "Halloweens" home from video store to show on television. Children who watch television everyday
on TV will begin to think that violence is normal. And one day, these children will become violent, too. Parents must
be careful. What children watch on TV will change the way they think about the world. Their television education
should be a valuable and positive education.
76. We don't want our children to see car crashes because ____ .
A. they may be very frightened.
B. the children cry when they see them.
C. they can cause accidents later.

cartoons, and who is a genius at making music. Michael Jackson made Thriller five years ago. It is still the biggest
selling album in history. It created several hit singles, won eight Grammies, and sold thirty eight and a half million
copies worldwide. Now he has a new album, Bad, and Michael will have a difficult time making the new album as
successful as the old. If Bad sells only ten million copies, it will be more than almost any other record, but it may
still not be a success for Michael. In October Michael began his first solo tour in Tokyo. This year and next, Michael
will see a little of the world when he performs before millions of fans. But after the tour ends, he will never tour
again." This will be Michael's last tour, his only solo tour ever," says manager Frank Dileo. Michael will go back to
recording studios and movie sets to continue his work in private.
71. Why is the success of Thriller a problem for Michael Jackson?
A. because he has so many fans.
B. because he can't earn much money from it.
C. because he can't make a better one.
D. because it will be difficult for him to make a better one.
72. Where will Michael make albums in the future?

C. because he has made too many solo tours

When pilots first began to fly above the clouds, many years ago, the sunlights was so strong that they could
not see, and some of them even got sick. So in the 1920's, a young pilot asked the Bausch and Lomb company to
help. B&L made a green coloured glass that stopped some of the sunlight. Put intoglasses, these immediately
became the standard dark glasses for pilots. The company called them Ray- Bans, and pilots everywhere wore them.
In 1937, Bausch and Lomb developed a new glass that didn't break easily. This glass also reduced the sun's glare as
well as its light. The new glasses were so good that the U.S. Air Force gave B&L a contract. After that every pilot
and crew member during World War II wore Ray-Bans. After the war, sportsmen found that Ray-Bans were useful
outdoors. Soon after that, people everywhere began to wear Ray-Bans. Famous people began to wear them, like
General Douglas MacArthur, writer Sam Shepad, and actors Dennis Connors and Tom Cruise (Top Gun). The basic
design has never changed, probably customers have been so satisfied. Today Ray-Bans are still popular and selling
well. Bausch and Lomb say that they don't know how many pairs of dark glasses they have manufactured since the
1920's. "Somewhere between 25 and 30 million would be a good guess", says a company vice-president"
76. Who were the first persons to wear Ray-Bans?
A. actors
B. pilots
C. writers
D. ordinary people
77. Why did Bausch and Lomb develop Ray-Bans?
A. because the sun was too strong for pilots
B. because people were getting sick in planes.
C. because people who played sports outdoors needed them. D. because the U.S. Air force asked them to .
78 When did Bausch and Lomb first manufacture Ray-Bans?
A. In the 1920's
B. In 1937.
C. After World War II
D. Before World War II.
79. How often has the basic design changed?

Power plants that make electricity are often built on rivers. The cool water that is used to make electricity
becomes hot as it runs through the plant. Then the heated water is returned to the river. When large amounts of warm
water are dumped into a river, the river itself is heated. The temperature of the water may be raised only a few
degrees, yet these few degrees can change animal and plant life. Heat causes a loss of oxygen in the water. Fish no
longer do well, and some kinds die. Without enough oxygen, bacteria in the river cannot break down waste matter.
To solve the problem, we have begun to change how power plants work. Some power plants use cooling towers. The
hot water goes into the tower, and heat escapes from the tower into the air. Once the heat has escaped, the water
flows safely into the river. Other power plants release the hot water into the river in a new way. Instead of letting it
all flow into one area, they scatter it. When the water goes to many spots, no one place gets too hot. With these new
methods, rivers can come back to life. But it will take time.
71. Water that is used in making electricity____.
A. flows faster.
B. is used up.
C. becomes hot.
D. turns to ice.
72. Cooling towers____.
A. scatter the hot water. B. release heat into the air. C. take oxygen out of the water. D. are cooled by the air.
73. Why are we changing the way power plants work?
A. They should not be near water.
C. The warm water they dump into rivers can kill the fish.
B. We think they should work faster.
D. Water should not run through them.
74. Which statement does the story lead you to believe?
A. We will have to stop building new power plants.
B. We will have to build power plants that do not heat the water.
C. Nobody cares about the temperatures of our rivers. D. The animal and plant life in our rivers may change.

In the villages of Mexico, as in some other parts of the world, shopping is a kind of game. In the fine
department store, of course, buyers pay the prices listed on the tags. But in most villages, bargaining is a dramatic
game both buyers and sellers enjoy. Suppose a merchant is a Mexican shopkeeper who sells handmade silver jewelry
to tourists. Among the items of jewelry is a pair of earrings a tourist wants to buy. The merchant names a price.
Immediately the tourist makes a much lower offer. The price the merchant puts on an article is not usually the price
which will finally be paid. But the merchant pretends to be shocked. The tourist is told that the earrings are real
silver, made by people who live in the mountains. It takes a long time to make such remarkable earrings. But at great
sacrifice the merchant will let the tourist have the earrings at a lower price. The two bargain. The tourist comes up a
little, the merchant comes down a little. At last they agree on what both consider to be a fair price. While the two
bargain, they speak of other things as well. The merchant may gossip about life in the village or mention interesting
sights the tourist should see before leaving Mexico. The merchants way of doing business is much older than the
supermarket way. It dates back to Old World times when the town market was the only place where people could
exchange news and visit with friends. Bargaining made their lives a little more colorful. In Mexico today, bargaining
still makes life colorful for some merchants.

The sea has always interested people. From it they can get food, minerals, and treasures. For thousands of
years, they sailed on the sea. But they could not go far beneath its surface. People want to explore deep into the sea.
However, they are not fishes. Because people must breathe air, they cannot stay under the waters surface for any
length of time. To explore deep water, men and women face even more dangers and problems. A diver who wants to
stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. Divers can wear diving
suits and have air pumped to them from above. They can carry tanks of air on their back and breathe through a hose

and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water push against a diver deep in the sea. The
divers body is under great pressure. When divers are under great pressure, their blood takes in some of the gases
they breathe. As they rise too quickly, the gases in their blood form bubbles. Divers then suffer from the bends. The
bends can cause divers to double up in pain. Bends can even kill divers.
71. A divers body in deep water ____.
A. is under great pressure. B. is just like a fishs body. C. suffers from the bends. D. weighs very little.
72. The story does not say so, but it makes you think that
A. divers explore the deep seas only for treasure.
B. diving under the water too quickly causes the bends.
C. Divers can wear diving suits to avoid the bends.
D. deep-sea divers should be in good health.

A long time ago, when ancient Rome was still an empire, people of that time used similar weights and
measures. The standards for these weights and measures were established by the Romans, who kept these standards
in a temple in Rome. All standards for measuring weight or distance were the same, whether in Spain or in Syria.
But then the Roman Empire fell, and these standards disappeared. Today, standards vary from place to place
throughout the world. Tourists who drive from the United States in Canada, for example, are surprised when they
buy gasoline for their cars. A gallon of gas costs more than they are accustomed to paying. They complain that prices
are much higher in Canada than in the United States. Then they discover that they can drive farther on a Canadian
gallon than on a United States gallon. Is it a different kind of gas? No, it is a different kind of gallon. Canada uses
the British, or imperial, gallon that is about one-fifth larger than the United States gallon. Four quarts equal a gallon
and two pints equal a quart in both countries. But Canadas quarts and pints are larger than quarts and pints in the
United States. The imperial gallon equals 277.42 cubic inches while the gallon in the United States is equal to 231
cubic inches. Measured in ounces, Canadas large gallon holds 160 fluid ounces, while the smaller United States
gallon holds no more than 128 fluid ounces. From these figures, it is easy to see why Americans can drive farther on
the Canadian gallon than on the American gallon. Someday, countries may follow the example of the ancient
Romans and make weights and measures the same for every nation.
76. Canada has a different kind of____.
A. gasoline.

B. No one in Rome ever went to a temple.
C. It would be good to use the same measures everywhere.
D. Canada should reduce their price of gasoline.
79. Why are American tourists surprised?
A. The price of a Canadian gallon of gas seems high.

III. Read the following text then answer the questions that follow by circling its corresponding letter marked
A, B, C, or D.
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language
barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas.
Tourists, the deaf and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of the whole
words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language
transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting
or indicating that the party is only joking . A nod signifies 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 . While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express
human thoughts and feelings.

A. shake the head from side to side
B. nod the head up and down

Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been.
Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes
and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power. Exploded in a

cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability. On
the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that drive our electric
trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that
can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity. An electric current can be
made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee. Other
than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is
flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed along
wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. To generate electricity, huge turbines or
generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling
water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used in
several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an
atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation. Now
scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment. They may
harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We
do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more
current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases
given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels.
71. Which of the following power sources causes pollution by emitting harmful gases?
A. Wind.
B. Petrol.
C. Water.
D. Sunlight.
72. The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the tides
B. scientists
C. harmful effects
D. new ways
73. What do we call machines that make electricity?
A. Voltages
B. Generators or turbines. C. Pipes and radiators.
D. Electric magnets.
74. Before electricity, what was sometimes passed through pipes to heat rooms?
A. Gas.
B. Hot wind
C. Steam
D. Petrol
75. The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to ______.
A. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity
B. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy
C. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy
D. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity
76. What does the author mean by saying that electricity is flexible?
A. It is used to drive motor engines.
B. It can be adapted to various uses.
C. It can be made with ease.
D. It is cheap and easy to use.
77. The main forms of power used to generate electricity in Australia are ______.
A. atomic power and water
B. wind and gas
C. water and coal
D. sunlight and wind power
78. Electric magnets are used in steel works to ______.
A. heat the molten steel
B. lift heavy weights up to ten tons
C. test the steel for strength
D. boil a jug of water
79. The advantage of harnessing the power of the tides and of sunlight to generate electricity is that they _____.
A. do not require attention
B. are more adaptable
C. do not pollute the environment
D. are more reliable
80. The best title for this passage could be ______.
A. Types of Power Plants
B. Why Electricity Is So Remarkable
C. Electricity: Harmful Effects on Our Life

II. 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 6 to 15.
THE BODY CLOCK
Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired than flying to London from New
York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology. Deep inside the brain
there is a clock that governs every aspect of the bodys functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness,
performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on. It regulates all of these functions on a
24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa about + dies day).
This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m. Afternoon
tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon. One of the major
causes of the travelers malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a persons internal body clock with clocks
in the external world. Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new
time and patterns of light and activity. To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the
same rate. So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a
different pace. Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether.
Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours. It
is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day. That is why travelling in a westward direction is more
body-clock friendly than flying east. NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated
with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights. When flying west, you are extending
your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock. Flying eastward will involve shrinking or
reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clocks natural tendency.
One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted. There are many reasons
for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock
is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours. Sleep loss, jet lag
and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well. Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%,
attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent. It is often suggested that you
adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destinations schedule as
soon as you arrive. But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone.

V. 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 56 to 65.
Prehistoric horses were far removed from the horses that Christopher Columbus brought on his ships during his
second voyage to the New World. Although fossil remains of dawn horses have been excavated in several sites in
Wyoming and New Mexico, these animal, which were biologically different from contemporary horses, had been
extinct several millennia before onset of the Indian era. Although moviegoers visualize an Indian as a horse rider,
Indians were not familiar with horses until the Spanish brought them to Mexico, New Mexico, Florida, and the West
Indies in 1519. Those that escaped from the conquerors or were left behind became the ancestors of the wild horses
that still roam the southwestern regions of the country. The Indian tribe scattered in the western plains began to
breed horse about 1600.
The arrival of the horse produced a ripple effect throughout the Great Plains as the Indians living there were not
nomadic and engaged in rudimentary farming and grazing land hunting. Tracking stampeding herds of buffalo and
elk on foot was not the best way to stock quantities of meat to adequately feed the entire tribe during the winter.
However, mounted on horses, the hunting team could cover ground within a substantial distance from their camps
and transport their game back to be roasted, dried into jerky, or smoke for preservation. The hunters responsible for
tribe provisions stayed on the move almost continuously, replacing their earth-and-sod lodges with tepees. Horses
carried not only their riders but also their possessions and booty. The Blackfoot Indians of the Canadian plains
turned almost exclusive hunters, and the Crow split off from the mainstream Indian farming in favor of hunting. In
fact, some of the Apache splinter groups abandoned agricultural cultivation altogether.
The horse also drastically altered Indian warfare by allowing rapid maneuvering before, during, and after
skirmishes. With the advent of the horse, the Apache, Arapahoe, and Cheyenne established themselves as territorial
monopoly in the Plains. Because Indians did not have the wheel and had dragged their belongings from one
settlement to another, horse also enabled them to become more mobile and expedient during tribal migration. In fact,
the Cheyenne abolished the custom of discarding belongings and tepee skins simply because there were no means to
transport them
