Choose the best answer to complete the passage.Every day many road accidents happen in Hong Kong. Everyone, especially children must learn how to cross the road. A simple code to remember is “STOP, LOOK and LISTEN BEFORE YOUCROSS”.The Transport Department organized road safety campaigns every year in order to reduce traffic accidents. Parents and teachers should educate children on road safety. Most schools have their own School Road Safety Patrols. The School Road Safety Patrols is a uniformed group.

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 .Only three and a half years passed between the first moon landing in 1969 and the sixth and last moon landing in 1972. But while the first landing was an enormous achievement in itself, the last landing contributed far more to the advancement of scientific knowledge. On the first mission, the two astronauts were on the Moon for only a few hours and remained close to the landing site. Their time on the Moon was just sufficient to conduct several experiments and collect a small sample of lunar rocks. On the last mission, however, the three men spent much more time on the lunar surface – three periods of about seven hours. With their special moon vehicle, they could travel much further from the landing site to investigate more of the lunar environment and collect a wider range of soil and rock sample.The Apollo moon landings, may not have led to any great discovery it did have a significant impact on scientific and technological development in the twentieth century. One field that was undoubtedly affected by the moon landings was computer research. NASA, the U.S space agency, did not invent the integrated, but it was the largest single connsumer of integrated circuits in the early 1960s. Working for the space program undoubtedly motivated computer engineers, pushing them toward the development of today's personal computer. Another, related technological development that could be attributed at least in part to the Apollo program was the invention of the Internet. In this case, too, the moors landings served as an indirect motivation for scientists and engineers in their search for ways to communicate from computers in spacecrarft to computers on Earth.A -  In planning for ífuture lunar missions, scientists are faced with one serious limitation to human exploration on the Moon, and that is the lack of water. B - The availability of water would make an enormous difference for humans working on the Moon for any length of time. The search for water, then, remains a high priority for space scientists. C - One technique that they have used is to send rockets crashing into the lunar surface. The crash treates a cloud of vapor and dust that scientists can collect and analyze for evidence of water. D - Several rockets have already been sent to the Moon, but so far the results have not been conclusive. Another larger and heavier rocket, which will be sent to the moon in 2010, will have a greater impact and may produce different results. 
Câu 1: What can be inferred about the difference between the first and the second moon landing?


A. In the second one, astronauts did not collect lunar rocks.


B. In the first one, astronauts stayed longer on the moon. 


C. The first one demonstrated scientific advancement.


D. The second one was not a great achievement in itself.
Câu 2: What could the astronauts do in the second landing that they could not do in the first one?


A. They could stay on the lunar surface.

Câu 3: What is considered the biggest contribution of the Apollo moon landings?


A. They had important influence on technological advance.


B. They initiated research on computer.


C. They helped invent the integrated circuit.


D. They collected a wide range of soil and rock samples.
Câu 4: How does the author describe the impact of moon landings on computer research?
