technological discoveries, a 2.5 per cent increase compared to the previous year. Vietnam has set a target to

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 44 to 50.
Contact lenses are being used to replace conventional glasses because sometimes glasses are inconvenient.
For instance, in sports, instead of using obnoxious sports goggles, many athletes wear contact lenses for
safety reasons. People can also use contact lenses if they want to change the color of their eyes. You can
wear contact lenses, for example, to have red eyes with a vampire costume.
It is believed that Leonardo da Vinci first thought of the idea of wearing contact lenses for better vision in
the 1500s. He made sketches but there is no evidence that his design was ever realized. Throughout the
1800s many scientists played with the idea of contact lenses but no one perfected the use of them. The first
models couldn’t be worn for long periods of time because of their discomfort. As they were inflexible and
did not let oxygen get to the eyes, in some cases they caused more problems than they fixed. The earlier
versions were also very fragile and expensive, which made them not usable for many people.
It wasn't until the late 1900s that contact lenses started to be effective and affordable enough for everyone to
use. They became more and more popular as people became aware that there was an alternative to wearing
glasses. Nowadays, more advanced contact lenses have been developed. They can not only fix poor vision
but also improve good vision. Although contact lenses have become very popular over the last few decades,
laser technology now allows people to improve their eyesight through a relatively quick, inexpensive, and
painless procedure. This technology may soon phase out contact lenses.
44. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To give a brief history of contact lenses
B. To report facts about contact lenses
C. To explain why contact lenses improve people's vision
D. To persuade readers to wear contact lenses for better looks
45. Why does the author mention “athletes” in the passage?
A. To explain that in some sports athletes are not allowed to wear glasses
B. To prove that athletes are conscious of their health
C. To illustrate the development of today's contact lenses
D. To give an example of the usefulness of contact lenses
46. According to the text, contact lenses couldn’t be worn for long periods of time _____.
A. because of their high cost B. because they were easily broken
C. because they were stuffed D. because they were uncomfortable
47. The word “they” underlined in paragraph 2 refers to _____.

Helen Keller is an American author and educator who was blind and deaf. Her education and training
represent an extraordinary accomplishment in the education of persons with these disabilities. Keller was
afflicted at the age of 19 months with an illness that left her blind and deaf. Helen was an unhappy child and
often threw a tantrum. However, her mother took great care of her with patience and love. She used to hang
out with the daughter of the family cook using the sign language of their own. Afterwards, Helen was
examined by Alexander Graham Bell at the age of 6. As a result, he sent to her a 20-year-old teacher, Anne

signals on her palm, to read sentences by feeling raised words on cardboard, and to make her own sentences
by arraging words in a frame. Later, she also learned to lip-read by placing her fingers on the lips and throat
of the speaker while the words were simultaneously spelled out for her. At age 14, she enrolled in the Wright-
Humason School for the Deaf in New York City, and at 16 she entered the Cambridge School for Young

In this day and age, it's inevitable that your kid will need a cell phone at some point. Buying a phone
for your kid is a big decision. Not only is it a financial investment, but you also need to consider Internet
safety and how kids can use electronics in a healthy way. ‘Today's parents are both blessed and cursed by
technology options made available to their children,’ says Titania Jordan, the chief parenting officer of
parental-control app Bark. ‘While the ability to locate and communicate with your children in real-time is
incredible, the ability of others to do so can be frightening and dangerous.’
When considering which cell phone to buy for your child, consider their age, the intended users of
the phone, and the parental control options. If your teen just started driving, a smartphone with a built in

don't need a phone quite yet but can instead use a smart watch to text you and make short phone calls with
approved contacts. To find the best cell phones for kids, we surveyed nearly 500 parents to learn about the
phones they have bought for their own kids, as well as how their families navigate technology use. We also
spoke to the Internet safety experts that specialize in kids’ safe use of phones. Additionally, we reviewed
guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) regarding when to give your child a cell phone.
44. What should parents consider when buying a smartphone for their kids?
A. its material B. the child’s age C. its contact list D. its GPS
45. What does Titania Jordan suggest?
A. Technology is just another burden for parents.
B. Parents should spend more time communicating to their children.
C. Parents should beware of strangers using technology to locate their children.

correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
Leonardo Da Vinci is among the most influential artists in history, having left a significant legacy
not only in the realm of art but in science as well, each discipline informing his mastery of the other. He was
born in a Tuscan hamlet near Vinci, Italy in 1452. Da Vinci contributed his unique genius to virtually
everything he touched, so it is not easy to put Da Vinci into a category. He was a painter, sculptor,
astronomer, inventor, mathematician, writer, and more. No name better seems to symbolize Renaissance age
than Leonardo da Vinci.
Da Vinci is perhaps most famous as a painter. He began a nine-year apprenticeship at the age of 14
to Andrea del Verrocchio, a popular sculptor, painter and goldsmith who was an important figure in the art
world of the day. Leonardo da Vinci not only developed his skills in drawing, painting and sculpting during
his apprenticeship, but through others working in and around the studio, he picked up knowledge in such
diverse fields as mechanics, carpentry, metallurgy, architectural drafting and chemistry. His drawings
reflected da Vinci's interest in how things are put together and how they work. Leonardo began creating his
most well-known and replicated work, Mona Lisa when he received a commission from Francesco del
Giocondo to paint his wife. The precise date of completion for "Mona Lisa", one of the most renowned
paintings in the world, is still in question, but many historians agree that Leonardo da Vinci began the
masterpiece in 1503.
As a scientist and inventor, Da Vinci designed and invented things that were not possible to create
during the time that he lived. He made plans for helicopters, tanks, calculators, and 10 solar-powered
machines. He kept extensive notebooks in which he wrote in code. Historians have to hold the notebooks up
to a mirror to be able to read them. Da Vinci also made many discoveries, but he was not interested in
becoming famous for them. He didn't publish any of his ideas.
 Just like William Shakespeare on literature, Leonardo's impact on art is tremendous. Throughout his
life, Leonardo da Vinci avoided the intrigues of worldly ambitions and vanity. He was a reserved and
withdrawn man, not concerned with glory, and yet absolutely sure of the value of his abilities. Along with a
small band of contemporary Renaissance figures, Leonardo da Vinci becomes the center of a movement of
artists that has permanently enriched western culture.
