From 6 to 15, read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the questions .
Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has
been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was passed
through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided
power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms
have not much adaptability.
On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that
drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric
magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by
electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten (nóng chảy)
1
metal in a furnace (lò nung), or to boil a jug (bình, lọ) for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which
has not as yet been harnessed (khai thác) to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is
flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed
along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. To generate electricity, huge
turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery. When
dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke
from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy
once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor
leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation.
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the
environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to
trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the
capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be
viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels.
Câu 6: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to ___.
A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy
B. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity
C. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy
D. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity

D. Steam.
Câu 8: What does the author mean by saying that electricity is flexible?
A. It is cheap and easy to use
B. It can be made with ease.
C. It can be adapted to various uses
D. It is used to drive motor engines.
Câu 9: What do we call machines that make electricity?
A. Pipes and radiators.
B. Voltages.
C. Generators or turbines.
D. Electric magnets.

indicate the best answer to each of the questions .
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw
its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of
dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to
people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature,
physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the
first awards ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the
awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's
death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes
politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards,
but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War 11. Some people have
won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.

From 43 to 52, read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the questions .
Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has
been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was passed
through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided
power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms
have not much adaptability.
On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that
drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric
magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by
electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten (nóng chảy)
metal in a furnace (lò nung), or to boil a jug (bình, lọ) for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which
has not as yet been harnessed (khai thác) to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is
flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed
along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. To generate electricity, huge
turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery. When
dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke
from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy
once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor
leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation.
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the
environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to
trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the
capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be
viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels.
Câu 43: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to
_____.
A. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity
B. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy
C. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy

A. It can be adapted to various uses
B. It is cheap and easy to use
C. It is used to drive motor engines.
D. It can be made with ease.
Câu 46: What do we call machines that make electricity?
A. Generators or turbines.
B. Voltages.
C. Pipes and radiators.
D. Electric magnets.

From 53 to 62, read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the questions .
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw
its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of
dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to
people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature,
physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the

drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric
magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by
electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten (nóng chảy)
metal in a furnace (lò nung), or to boil a jug (bình, lọ) for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which
has not as yet been harnessed (khai thác) to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is
flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed
along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. To generate electricity, huge
turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery. When
dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke
from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy
once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor
leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation.
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the
environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to
trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the
capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be
viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels.

indicate the best answer to each of the questions .
Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has
been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was passed
through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided
power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms
have not much adaptability.
On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that
drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric
magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by
electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten (nóng chảy)
metal in a furnace (lò nung), or to boil a jug (bình, lọ) for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which

indicate the best answer to each of the questions .
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw
its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of
dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to
people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature,
physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the
first awards ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the
awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's
death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes
politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards,
but relatively few literature prizes.
