Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False. Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn’t cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from our sun. Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and the sun’s energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy too. Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all buildings will be heated by solar energy; cars and buses will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2015.

 VII:Read the following passage then choose the one answer A, B, C or D which you think is correct.Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth’s history called the Mesozoic Era, which is known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge.The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning “terrible lizard”. Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern—day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however, some were actually no larger than a chicken.Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaur to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth’s climate. It is believed that temperature dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.

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.Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the tides. No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The currents also seldom involve more than upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep.The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe. In reality, however. the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun,  just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At these times, the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon, and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month.
Câu 1: Neap tides occur when_____


A. the Moon is full

A. temperature


B. density


C. size


D. distance
Câu 4: What is the cause of the spring tides?


A. The Earth’s movement around the Sun.


B. The triangular arrangement of the Earth, Sun, and Moon.


C. Seasonal changes in the weather.


D. The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon when nearly in line with the Earth.
Câu 5: The word “correspondingly" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_____


A. similarly


B. interestingly


C. unusually

Câu 6: What is the main point of the first paragraph?

B. The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean water.

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 questionsAlaska: Animals Everywhere Animals are everywhere in Alaska.

You can also see other large animals, such as moose and deer. There are also bears and wolves, of course. But these animals are not really dangerous. If you stay away from them, they will stay away from you. They usually are afraid of people.Sometimes the wild animals come to areas with people. You may see deer or moose, for example, in someone's backyard. This makes the children and the tourists happy, but it's a problem for Alaskan gardeners! These animals like to eat the plants in gardens, and they walk all over the grass and flowers.A lot of people in Alaska have animals at home, too. Dogs are the favorites, especially huskies.

Read the following passage and mark the letler A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions .Broad-tailed hummingbirds often nest in quaking, slender deciduous trees with smooth, gray-green bark found in the Colorado Rockies of the western United States. After flying some 2,000 kilometres north from where they have wintered in Mexico, the hummingbirds need six weeks to build a nest, incubate their eggs, and raised the chicks. A second nest is feasible only if the first fails early in the season. Quality, not quantity, is what counts in hummingbird reproduction.A nest on the lowest intact branch of an aspen will give a hummingbird a good view,  a clear flight patch, and protection for her young. Male hummingbirds claim feeding territories in open meadows where, from late May through June they mate with females coming to feed but take no part in nesting. Thus when the hen is away to feed, the nest is unguarded. While the smooth bark of the aspen trunk generally offers a poor grip for the claws of a hungry squirrel or weasel, aerial attacks, from a hawk, owl, or gray jay, are more likely.The choice of where to build the nest is based not only on the branch itself but also on what hangs over it. A crooked deformity in the nest branch, a second, unusually close branch overhead. or proximity to part of a trunk bowed by a past ice storm are features that provide shelter and make for an attractive nest site. Scarcely larger than a halved golf ball, the nest is painstaking constructed of spider webs and plant down, decorated and camouflaged outside with paper-like bits of aspen bark held together with more strands of spider silk. By early June it will hold two pea-sized eggs, which each weigh one-seventh of the mother's weight, and in sixteen to nineteen days, two chicks.
