VI. Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng (A hoặc B, C, D) cho mỗi câu từ 41 đến 50:
Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.
Câu 41: The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT____.
	A. vans	B. trains	C. planes	D. trolleys

VII. Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng (A hoặc B, C, D) cho mỗi câu từ 51 đến 60:
A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”. “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms. 
Câu 51: What is the main topic of this passage? 
	A. The nature of radar. B. History of radar. 	C. Alternatives to radar. 	D. Types of ranging. 
Câu 52: According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects? 
	A. Shape. 	B. Size. 	C. Speed. 	D. Weight. 
Câu 53: The word “exemplified” in the passage can be replaced by _______. 
	A. “specified” 	B. “resembled” 	C. “illustrated” 	D. “justified” 
Câu 54: The word “shouts” in the passage most closely means _______. 
	A. “exclaims” 	B. “yells” 	C. “shoots” 	D. “whispers” 
Câu 55: Which of the following words best describes the tone of this passage? 
	A. argumentative 	B. explanatory 	C. humorous 	D. imaginative 
Câu 56: According to the passage, the distance between a radar set and an object can be determined by _______. 
	A. the time it takes for a burst of radio waves to produce echoes when the waves bounce off the object 
	B. the term “ranging” used for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set 
	C. the time it takes for the radio waves to produce echoes and bounce off the object 
	D. the time it takes for the echoes produced by the radio waves to return to the radar set 
Câu 57: Which type of waves does radar use? 
	A. tidal 	B. sound 	C. heat 	D. radio 
Câu 58: The word “tracking” in the passage most closely means _______. 
	A. sending 	B. searching for 	C. ranging 	D. repairing 
Câu 59: Which of the following would most likely be the topic of the next paragraph? 
	A. A history of flying. 	B. Other uses of radar. C. The technology used by pilots. D. Uses of some technology. 
Câu 60: What might be inferred about radar? 
	A. It takes the place of a radio. 	B. It has improved navigational safety. 
	C. It was developed from a study of sound waves. D. It gave birth to the invention of the airplane.

II. Topic: What do you think of the changes in life?
Everything in the universe is in constant change. And everything needs continual improvement if the ever changing and increasing demands of humankind are to be met. If I am ever given the chance to change one important thing about my home town, it would be internet service. Needless to say that nothing generally revolutionized the way we live as internet in the past decade. Thus, an improvement in this vital service would mean an even more, unheard betterment to the people in my home town.
It is said that information is power. True saying indeed! I can envision how everything in my home town could improve dramatically if the internet service in it were made free, fast and staying out there like electricity, telephone or water all the time. One thing, a fast free and reliable internet service could improve in my home town is the way people work. If there is a this said service people in my home town must not necessarily commute to a far place to do their job. This in turn would mean less traffic jams, spacious work place, more time for family and recreation and so on.
The way people learn would be another important thing that a fast, free and reliable internet service could better in my home town. People will have the chance to go through tremendous and different information resources in a very small amount of time. They, apparently will also take less time to share it. This assures a more fulfilled life for my home town people. 
Since its advent, internet touched every part of our life. It in a dazzling way improved the way we do business, learn and communicate. A change in internet service implies good way of living for everyone in my home town.
