One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world s water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore. Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

The Siamese crocodiles are believed to be extinct in the wild. It is speculated that there are only about two hundred Siamese crocodiles left in the wilderness. Most of the Siamese crocodiles in the wild are in remote areas of Thailand and Cambodia. Unlike other species of crocodiles, the Siamese crocodiles are quite inoffensive. They are a low threat to humans. Unless they are being attacked first, they are not likely to attack you. One of the reasons why crocodiles are endangered is the destruction of their habitat. Many swamp areas are converted into farming areas. Furthermore, crocodile s skins are very valuable. Many of crocodiles were hunted for their skin and meat. Global warming also contributes to the cause of endangering crocodiles because the weather and climate play significant roles in determining the sex of the crocodiles. If the weather is 31.6 degrees Celsius, male crocodiles will be produced. Female crocodiles are produced at lower temperature. Different efforts have been made to save the Siamese crocodiles. Comparing to other endangered animals, it is easier to save them. Because they lay a lot of eggs, it is easy to breed them.

80 B. READING: (3 points) I. Read the text below then circle the correct answer A, B, C or D: Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun. Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages: wind and water power relies on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive.

83 B. READING: (3 points) The moon is the second brightest object in the sky after the sun. it is the only natural satellite of the Earth and orbits around it. It has a diameter of about 3,476 kilometers and has many craters on its surface.these were formed by meteor crashes millions of years ago. It takes the moon 27.3 days to make one orbit around the earth and the same period of time to complete one rotation on its axis. The moon is the only celestial body that has been visited by human beings. One reason is that the moon is much closer to the earth than other planets; it is estimated that the moon is about 240,000 miles from the earth. We can see it clearly from the earth with naked eyes. Because it is close to us, the gravitational forces between the earth and the moon cause some interesting effects. The most obvious is the tides. Under the graviational effect of the moon, the water in the earth s oceans, as they are fluid, is pulled toward the moon. This causes tides when the level of the sea rises and falls. 21. According to the passage, what is true about the moon? A. The moon is one of the natural sattlelites of the earth. B. The sun is the only object in the sky that is brighter than the moon. C.

Until the 19 th century, the denial of equal rights to women met with only occasional protest and drew little attention from most people. Because most women lacked the educational and economic resources that would enable them to challenge the prevailing social order, women generally accepted their inferior status as their only option. At this time, women shared these disadvantages with the majority of working class men, as many social, economic, and political rights were restricted to the wealthy elite [phần tử ưu tú]. In the 19 th century, as governments in Europe and North America began to draft new laws guaranteeing equality among men, significant numbers of women and some men began to demand that women be accorded equal rights as well. At the same time, the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America further divided the roles of men and women. Before the Industrial Revolution most people worked in farming or craftsmaking, both of which took place in or near the home. Men and women usually divided the numerous tasks among themselves and their children. Industrialization led male workers to seek employment outside of the home in factories and other large-scale [extensivve]enterprises. The growing split between home and work reinforced the idea that women s rightful place was in the home, while men belonged in the public world of employment and politics. Organized efforts by women to achieve greater rights occurred in two major waves. The first wave began around the mid-19 th century, when women in the United States and elsewhere campaigned to gain suffrage [ right to vote in political elections] that is, the right to vote. This wave lasted until the 1920s, when several countries granted women suffrage. 26. Why did the denial of equal rights to women draw little attention from the society until the 19 th century? A. They could not challenge the prevailing social order. B. They did not have any other option. C. Most women lacked the educational and economic resources. D. All are correct.

They did not have much power compared to the wealthy people. D. They had much power in the society. 28. When did the women s movement start in Western countries? A. in the 18 th century B. in the late 18 th century C. in the 19 th century D. in the early 20 th century 29. What did the effect of the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America bring about? A. Male workers tried to seek employment outside of the home. B. It did not bring the equality to women. C. Well-educated, upper-class men controlled most positions of employment and power in society. D. All are correct. 30. What was the aim of the women s movement in the United States in the 1920s? A. to gain the right to have much power in the society B. to gain the right to vote C. to gain the right to go to work in the factory D. to have the complete equality to men II.

More and more women are now joining the paid labor force worldwide. They represent the majority of the work force in all the sectors which are expanding as a result of globalization and trade liberalization the informal sector, including the part-time, temporary, low-paid labor force. Even in countries which have low levels of female workers, employment is rising.

109 Paid employment has undoubtedly brought economic and social gains to many women today. For many previously inexperienced young women, the opportunity to gain financial independence has helped break down some of the taboos of their societies and rules on women s behavior. However, declining economic and social conditions throughout the world, in particular declining household incomes, have compelled many women to take any kinds of paid work to meet their basic needs and those of their families. The jobs available for them are mostly insecure and low-paid with irregular hours, high levels of intensity, little protection from health and safety hazards. Women s high participation in informal employment is partly due to the fact that many jobs in the formal economy are not open to them: they are actively excluded from certain kinds of work or lack access to education and training or have domestic commitments. The increase of women s participation in the informal sector has been most marked in the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa where sharp economic decline and structural adjustment policies have reduced the official job market drastically. Women are paid less than men are. Women also have less job security and fewer opportunities for promotion. Higher status jobs, even in industries which employ mostly women, tend to be filled by men. In addition, women usually have to continue their unpaid domestic and caring work, such as of children, the sick and the elderly, which is often regarded as women s natural and exclusive responsibility. Even when they have full-time jobs outside the home, women take care of most household tasks, particularly the preparations of meals, cleaning and childcare. When women become mothers, they often have no option other than to work part-time or accept housework. 16/ The reading passage is mainly about.

It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen and women's work was housework. In many places, women were not even' allowed to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often considered women as their property. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered the problem as a fate. Many parents did not even want to daughters.

125 Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down from generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and housework such as washing and cooking. According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day including working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands. In some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas. Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to men in every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as he is. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce children. Question 55. Which is not women's role in the former days? A. Working in authority B.

This is an old Chinese saying. However, research shows that perhaps women do more than their share of holding up the sky". Fifty percent of the world's population is women, but nearly two thirds of all working hours are done by women. They do most of the domestic work like cooking and washing clothes. Millions also work outside the home. Women hold forty percent of all the world's jobs. For this work they earn only 40 to 60 percent as much as men, and of course they earn nothing for their domestic work. In developing countries, where three-fourths of the world's population lives, women produce more than half of the food. In Africa, 80 percent of all agricultural work is done by women. In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4.45 am, she gets up, washes, and eats. It takes her half an hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3.00 pm. She collects firewood until 4.00 pm then comes back home. She spends the next hour and a half preparing food to cook. Then she collects water for another hour. From 6.30 to 8.30 she cooks. After dinner, she spends an hour washing the dishes. She then goes to bed at 9.30 pm.

A. prepared B. concerned C. interested D. available VI. Reading comprehension There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby. Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls").

160 Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible. The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo. It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water. "American style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890s was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games. 36.

It is known, however, that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby. Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible. The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo. It became a game that emphasized swimming,

168 speed and passing. Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water. "American style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890s was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games. 6.

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 It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a mandominated society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen and women's work was housework. In many places, women were not even allowed to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often considered women as their property. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered the problem as a fate. Many parents did not even want to daughters. Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down from generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and childbearing and childrearing, as well as doing housework such as washing and cooking. According to social surveys, many women in the 21 st century still have to work over 12 hours a day including working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands. In some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas. Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to men in every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as

189 intelligent as he is. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce children. 56. In a man- dominated society,. A. women were the first class. B. women had no right. C. women were respected by men. D. women got a good education. 57. Years ago, women s place was. A. in society B. at school C. in the Congress D. in the kitchen 58. According to the text, women in the 21 st century. A. are still the victims of family violence in some rural areas B. do not have to do housework any more C. get help from their husbands with all housework D. spend less than 12 hours working outside the home and doing housework 59. In a man- dominated society,. A. all parents expected to have daughters. B. most parents liked girl babies. C. most parents did not want to have daughters. D. most parents did not like sons. 60.

192 All around the world, there are many endangered animals, largely because of human progress. As the world's population grows, humans move into new areas, create more pollution, and use more natural resources. This all puts pressure on animals, which cannot really compete with humans. An excellent example of this would be the case of the leatherback sea turtle. At 6.5 meters long, and up to 600 kilograms, the leatherback is the largest turtle on Earth. It is also one of the most endangered. Scientists do not know the exact number of leatherbacks because they spend their entire lives at sea. This makes them very difficult to count. But female leatherbacks come on land to lay their eggs. From the number of nests that scientists find, they can estimate the number of turtles. The numbers do not show a good future for the leatherback. At one beach, scientists counted over 10,000 egg nests in In 1993, there were only 50 nests at the same beach. Scientists think that the leatherback population is perhaps only 1% of what it was just 50 years ago. Human development over the last 50 years is undoubtedly the reason for this. Humans affect leatherbacks in many ways. Many of the beaches leatherbacks used to lay their eggs at are now covered with hotels and resorts, so there are few places for the turtles to make their nests. In addition, in many parts of the world, people eat the turtle eggs. At one beach in Mexico, almost 100% of all the leatherback nests were dug up and the eggs eaten by humans. The turtles also get caught in fishing nets and die. In the 1950s, there were 5,000 fishing boats in the Gulf of Mexico, a common spot for leatherbacks. Now there are over 55,000 fishing boats in the same area. If the situation does not change soon, the leatherback may disappear forever. Question 17: As used in the passage, the term endangered animals can best be explained as. A. animals in areas where humans live B. animals with very low numbers C. a kind of turtle D. animals caught in fishing nets Question 18: According to paragraph 1, humans pressure animals in all of the following ways EXCEPT. A. by killing the animals B. by using natural resources C. by moving into new areas D. by adding to pollution Question 19: According to paragraph 2, why is it difficult to count the numbers of leatherback turtles? A. Their nests are hard to find. B. They live most of their lives in the sea. C. They are scared of humans. D. They swim very fast. Question 20: According to the passage, how do hotels and resorts hurt leatherback turtles? A. People at the hotels go fishing and eat the turtle eggs. B. They pollute the beaches and kill the leatherbacks. C. They occupy the beaches where the turtles lay their eggs.

All around the world, there are many endangered animals, largely because of human progress. As the world's population grows, humans move into new areas, create more pollution, and use more natural resources. This all puts pressure on animals, which cannot really compete with humans. An excellent example of this would be the case of the leatherback sea turtle. At 6.5 meters long, and up to 600 kilograms, the leatherback is the largest turtle on Earth. It is also one of the most endangered. Scientists do not know the exact number of leatherbacks because they spend their entire lives at sea. This makes them very difficult to count. But female leatherbacks come on land to lay their eggs. From the number of nests that scientists find, they can estimate the number of turtles. The numbers do not show a good future for the leatherback. At one beach, scientists counted over 10,000 egg nests in In 1993, there were only 50 nests at the same beach. Scientists think that the leatherback population is perhaps only 1% of what it was just 50 years ago. Human development over the last 50 years is undoubtedly the reason for this. Humans affect leatherbacks in many ways. Many of the beaches leatherbacks used to lay their eggs at are now covered with hotels and resorts, so there are few places for the turtles to make their nests. In addition, in many parts of the world, people eat the turtle eggs. At one beach in Mexico, almost 100% of all the leatherback nests were dug up and the eggs eaten by humans. The turtles also get caught in fishing nets and die. In the 1950s, there were 5,000 fishing boats in the Gulf of Mexico, a common spot for leatherbacks. Now there are over 55,000 fishing boats in the same area. If the situation does not change soon, the leatherback may disappear forever. Question 28: As used in the passage, the term endangered animals can best be explained as.

204 A. a kind of turtle B. animals caught in fishing nets C. animals in areas where humans live D. animals with very low numbers Question 29: According to paragraph 1, humans pressure animals in all of the following ways EXCEPT. A. by adding to pollution B. by using natural resources C. by moving into new areas D. by killing the animals Question 30: According to paragraph 2, why is it difficult to count the numbers of leatherback turtles? A. They live most of their lives in the sea. B. Their nests are hard to find. C. They are scared of humans. D. They swim very fast. Question 31: According to the passage, how do hotels and resorts hurt leatherback turtles? A. They bring more people to the beaches to see the animal. B. People at the hotels go fishing and eat the turtle eggs. C. They occupy the beaches where the turtles lay their eggs. D. They pollute the beaches and kill the leatherbacks. Question 32: The author mentions fishing boats in order to. A. suggest that the Gulf of Mexico is a good place to catch leatherback turtles B. suggest a connection between the rise in fishing and the fall in leatherback turtles C. explain why there are no leatherback turtles in the Gulf of Mexico D. show that fishing is becoming more popular in the Gulf of Mexico B.
