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 45 to 54.
	The first successful manned mission to the moon will always remain a profoundly heroic page in the human history. In 1969, with the space technologies being still rather primitive, but the exploration spirit and scientific curiosity burning high and bright, the USA started its dramatic Apollo lunar program. On July 20th, 1969, the first in the history of the humankind manned flight landed on the moon with a fascinating triumph. Astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man from the planet Earth to step on the surface of the moon.
	Apollo 11, launched on July 16 of 1969 from the Kennedy Space Center, happened to be the fifth mission of the American Apollo program on the manned exploration of the moon. That was also the third manned flight towards the moon. The crew on board of Apollo 11 included commander Neil Alden Armstrong, lunar module pilot Edwin Eugene Aldrin, and command module pilot Michael Collins. Almost a million people were witnessing the spacecraft launch from the nearby beaches and highways. Millions of other people, including American President Nixon, were anxiously watching that grand event on TV.
	After Apollo 11 had reached the orbit of the moon, the astronauts started preparing for the historical lunar landing. The convenient, smooth and flat, landing site in the area had been found. The descending of the lunar module Eagle carrying Armstrong and Aldrin was controlled by computers from the NASA Mission Control Center in Texas. Neil Armstrong had to quickly react to prevent a disaster. He took manual control of their lunar module and, at last, at 20:17 of the 20th of July, the first manned mission successfully landed on the moon. They only had 30 seconds of fuel left to complete the landing! In six and a half hours after the Eagle had descended, Neil Armstrong, for the first time in the history of the humankind, stepped onto the surface of the moon. His lunar words “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind” became famous all over the world. Later, he was followed by Aldrin. Despite some technical complications, hundreds of millions of people on the Earth were able to see the first images of the astronauts in spacesuits moving on the surface of the moon.
	For the remaining hours that the piloted lunar module spent on the moon’s surface, the astronauts planted on the moon the US flag and left a mission patch with various Earth messages. They also were experimenting with getting adjusted to the lunar gravity and balance by trying different step methods, were photographing, writing down their impressions and observations, and drilling the core layer of the lunar surface to obtain samples of the moon’s soil. More than 48 pounds of lunar material were collected and loaded into the module. Having completed their dramatic mission, both astronauts were able to safely return the Eagle back to the lunar orbit. Several hours later, Apollo 11 with the three courageous astronauts on board was on its safe way back to the Earth, which they reached on July 24th. The unprecedented, first manned voyage to a surface of another cosmic body had been accomplished with a stunning triumph.

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 55 to 64
 An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous changes. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled- a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions. 
Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities. 
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable  health effects at 0. 08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of 0. 1 ppm and is  not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.
Câu 55:  The word "detectable " is closest in meaning to __________.
A. measurable	B. special	C. beneficial	D. separable
Câu 56:  The word "localized " is closest in meaning to __________.
A. circled	B. encircled	C. surrounded	D. specified
Câu 57:  The word "These" in the second paragraph refers to __________.
A. the various chemical reactions	B. the pollutants from the developing Earth
C. the compounds moved to the water or soil	D. the components in biogeochemical cycles
Câu 58:  According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if __________.
A. it can be calculated quickly	B. it is in a localized area
C. the other substances in the area are known	D. the natural level is also known
Câu 59:  It can be inferred from the first paragraph that __________.
A. the definition of air pollution will continue to change
B. most pollutants today can be seen or smelled
C. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas
D. a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities
Câu 60:  According to the passage, human- generated air pollution in localized regions __________.
A. will react harmfully with natural pollutants
B. can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants
C. will damage area outside of the localized regions
D. can overwhelm the natural system removing pollutants
Câu 61:  The word "adversely " is closest in meaning to __________.
A. admittedly	B. quickly	C. considerably	D. negatively
Câu 62: Which of the following is best supported by the passage?
A. To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws.
B. Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants.	
C. Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution.	
D. One of the most important steps  in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws.
Câu 63:  For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling air pollution?
A. They're less harmful to living beings than other pollutants.	
B. They function as part of a purification process.	
C. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.	
D. They have existed since the Earth developed.
Câu 64:  What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. What constitutes an air pollutant.
B. The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere.
C. The economic impact of air pollution.
D. How much harm air pollutants can cause.
