Text 2: In the very distant geological past all animals were aquatic. The very first vertebrates, or animals
with backbones, of which we have any fossil record, lived in the water. These vertebrates, the fish, were
adapted to underwater living. Their streamlined bodies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction:
they had muscular tails so that they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium as water; and they were
endowed with gills for breathing underwater.
Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to life on land.
As amphibians, they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. But they never became
completely free of the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the water to
lay their eggs.
Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers
appeared; these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals. They were more completely
converted for land dwelling, with bodies and biological activities far different from those of fish. With these
special adaptations, mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high
mountains, often far removed from the sea.
60. Of the animals with backbones, the first to appear were
A. mammals B. fish C. amphibians D. birds
61. In converting to land life, animals acquired
A. eyes B. lungs C. tails D. warm blood

Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road. Some of these are made on public transport but
most are by private car.
In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work, doing the shopping,
and visiting friends. People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get
to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car. Some
places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but
to rely on their cars.
In the US large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the
underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used.
Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities,
have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc. Many college and even high-school
students have their own cars. Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most
towns and cities.
Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their
own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam.
VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí
Long-distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may
be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air.
There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also
distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.
In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies,
Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private
railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by
road.
The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and
pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years,
making both these problems worse. The British government would like more people to use public transport,
but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with
neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have
resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom.
Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they
see no reason to use their cars less.
(Extracted from Oxford Guide to British and American Culture, Oxford University Press, 2000)

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 21to 30.
Human Nutrition is the study of how food affects the health and survival of the human body.
Human beings require food to grow, reproduce, and maintain good health. Without food, our bodies could not
stay warm, build or repair tissue, or maintain the heartbeat. Eating the right foods can help us avoid certain
diseases or recover faster when illness occurs. These and other important functions are fueled by chemical
substances in our food called nutrients. Nutrients are classified as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins,
minerals, and water.
When we eat a meal, nutrients are released from food through digestion. Digestion begins in
the mouth by the action of chewing and the chemical activity of saliva, a watery fluid that contains enzymes,
certain proteins that help break down food. Further digestion occurs as food travels through the stomach and
the small intestine, where digestive enzymes and acids liquefy food and muscle contractions push it along the
digestive tract. Nutrients are absorbed from the inside of the small intestine into the bloodstream and carried to
VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí
the sites in the body where they are needed. At these sites, several chemical reactions occur, which ensures the
growth and function of body tissues. The parts of foods that are not absorbed continue to move down the
intestinal tract and are eliminated from the body as feces.
Once digested, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the body with the energy it needs to
maintain its many functions. Scientists measure this energy in kilocalories, the amount of energy needed to
raise one kilogram of water one degree Celsius. In nutrition discussions, scientists use the term calorie instead
of kilocalorie as the standard unit of measure in nutrition.
Nutrients are classified as essential or nonessential. Nonessential nutrients are manufactured in
the body and do not need to be obtained from food. Examples include cholesterol, a fatlike substance present
in all animal cells. Essential nutrients must be obtained from food sources, because the body either does not
produce them or produces them in amounts too small to maintain growth and health. Essential nutrients
include water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
An individual needs varying amounts of each essential nutrient, depending upon such factors as
gender and age. Specific health conditions, such as pregnancy, breast-feeding, illness, or drug use, make
unusual demands on the body and increase its need for nutrients. Dietary guidelines, which take many of these
factors into account, provide general guidance in meeting daily nutritional needs.
From “Human Nutrition” by Worthington-Roberts, Bonnie, Microsoft ® Student 2009.

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 following questions.
A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households,
dispite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people ages between 18 and 65,
men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the women estinated their share to
be nearly double that, at 70%. This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not.
When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that housework
should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work outside the home wrer
satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work – if their husbands did remaider. Reseach has
shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they
are unimportant.
After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for men
the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man’s share increases much
less than the woman’s. It is the inequality and loss of repect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to
axiety and depression. The reseach describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling. Activities included in
the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing up and childcare. Women who have jobs
report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties. In contrast, full-time
homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up. Distress for this group is
cuased by losing the teamwork in the marriage.
In cases where men perform most of the housework, results were similar. The men also became depressed
by the imbalance of labor. The research showed that the least distressed people are those who have equal
share, implying that men could perform significantly more chores and even benefit from this. The research
concludes “ Everybody benefits from sharing the housework. Even for women keeping house, a share division

Text 2: In the very distant geological past all animals were aquatic. The very first vertebrates, or animals
with backbones, of which we have any fossil record, lived in the water. These vertebrates, the fish, were
adapted to underwater living. Their streamlined bodies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction:
they had muscular tails so that they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium as water; and they were
endowed with gills for breathing underwater.
Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to life on land.
As amphibians, they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. But they never became
completely free of the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the water to
lay their eggs.
Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers
appeared; these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals. They were more completely
converted for land dwelling, with bodies and biological activities far different from those of fish. With these
special adaptations, mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high
mountains, often far removed from the sea.
60. Of the animals with backbones, the first to appear were
A. mammals B. fish C. amphibians D. birds

answer to each of the questions from 11 to 20.
Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road. Some of these are made on public transport but
most are by private car.
In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work, doing the shopping,
and visiting friends. People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get
to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car. Some
places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but
to rely on their cars.
In the US large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the
underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used.
Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities,
have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc. Many college and even high-school
students have their own cars. Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most
towns and cities.
Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their
own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam.

Long-distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may
be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air.
There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also
distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.
In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies,
Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private
railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by
road.
The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and
pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years,
making both these problems worse. The British government would like more people to use public transport,
but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with
neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have
resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom.
Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they
see no reason to use their cars less.

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 21to 30.
Human Nutrition is the study of how food affects the health and survival of the human body.
Human beings require food to grow, reproduce, and maintain good health. Without food, our bodies could not
stay warm, build or repair tissue, or maintain the heartbeat. Eating the right foods can help us avoid certain
diseases or recover faster when illness occurs. These and other important functions are fueled by chemical
substances in our food called nutrients. Nutrients are classified as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins,
minerals, and water.
When we eat a meal, nutrients are released from food through digestion. Digestion begins in
the mouth by the action of chewing and the chemical activity of saliva, a watery fluid that contains enzymes,
certain proteins that help break down food. Further digestion occurs as food travels through the stomach and
the small intestine, where digestive enzymes and acids liquefy food and muscle contractions push it along the
digestive tract. Nutrients are absorbed from the inside of the small intestine into the bloodstream and carried to
VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí
the sites in the body where they are needed. At these sites, several chemical reactions occur, which ensures the
growth and function of body tissues. The parts of foods that are not absorbed continue to move down the
intestinal tract and are eliminated from the body as feces.
Once digested, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the body with the energy it needs to
maintain its many functions. Scientists measure this energy in kilocalories, the amount of energy needed to
raise one kilogram of water one degree Celsius. In nutrition discussions, scientists use the term calorie instead
of kilocalorie as the standard unit of measure in nutrition.
Nutrients are classified as essential or nonessential. Nonessential nutrients are manufactured in
the body and do not need to be obtained from food. Examples include cholesterol, a fatlike substance present
in all animal cells. Essential nutrients must be obtained from food sources, because the body either does not
produce them or produces them in amounts too small to maintain growth and health. Essential nutrients
include water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
An individual needs varying amounts of each essential nutrient, depending upon such factors as
gender and age. Specific health conditions, such as pregnancy, breast-feeding, illness, or drug use, make
unusual demands on the body and increase its need for nutrients. Dietary guidelines, which take many of these
factors into account, provide general guidance in meeting daily nutritional needs.

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 following questions.
A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households,
dispite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people ages between 18 and 65,
men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the women estinated their share to
be nearly double that, at 70%. This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not.
When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that housework
should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work outside the home wrer
satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work – if their husbands did remaider. Reseach has
shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they
are unimportant.
After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for men
the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man’s share increases much
less than the woman’s. It is the inequality and loss of repect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to
axiety and depression. The reseach describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling. Activities included in
the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing up and childcare. Women who have jobs
report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties. In contrast, full-time
homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up. Distress for this group is
cuased by losing the teamwork in the marriage.
In cases where men perform most of the housework, results were similar. The men also became depressed
by the imbalance of labor. The research showed that the least distressed people are those who have equal
share, implying that men could perform significantly more chores and even benefit from this. The research
concludes “ Everybody benefits from sharing the housework. Even for women keeping house, a share division
