15. When Bill saw my new car he was .................. with envy . A. blue B. green C. yellow D. white Question V: Reading comprehension. a. Put one suitable word in each space. It now seems clear that one of ...(1)... most pressing problems facing any large city at ...(2)... end of ...(3)... twentieth century , is that of water supply . While most cities were founded ...(4)... because water was plentifully available , on one could have foreseen ...5)...demands put upon the water supply by the sprawling ...(6)... of today . In many cases , cities are forced ...(7)... bring water from many miles away , often to the detriment ...(8)... the local environment , for water is not only a commodity needed by man for drinking and washing and industrial processes . Many lakes ...(9)... once served ...(10)... breeding grounds for wild birds now face ...(11)... uncertain future . As neighboring cities ...(12)... greater and greater demands , ...(13)... water level of such lakes falls lower and lower , thus depriving the birds of habitat . And ...(14)... apart from this environmental problem , there is the economic issue to consider . Who owns the water , and how much should ...(15)... consumer pay for it ? The next time you turn on the tap , it might be worth considering some of these problems , before you have wasted too much water . b. Read the paragraph carefully and then choose the best answer. The diseases connected to smoking are a big problem . Doctors think that the annual medical cost for lung cancer , heart disease , and other illnesses connected to smoking is between 12 and 35 million pounds . And smoking costs society money in other ways . Between 27 and 61 billion pounds are spent each year on sick days when people don’t go to work , on wages that you don’t get when you don’t go to work , and on work lost at the company when you are sick . This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying taxes . This does not count fire started by cigarettes , which kill fifteen hundred people yearly and injure another four thousand . Smoking costs every man , woman and child in the UK from one hundred and ten to two hundred and fifty pounds each year in the lost work and wages . When you add another fifty to one hundred and fifty pounds yearly in insurance cost , that come to one hundred and sixty to four hundred and ten pounds . If everyone stopped smoking , a family of four could have up to one thousand six hundred and forty pounds a year more . Smoking will also cause other problems . People who don’t smoke will live longer , and so they will take money from the government when they are older . But they will also work for more years and pay more taxes . In the end , the value of a non-smoking nation is not in pounds . The good health of the people is the true value for us all . 1. If everyone stopped smoking , all the United Kingdom ................. A. would have more money. B. would live longer . C. would have less money D. would have no more problems 2. Every year companies lose .............. because of the disease. A. money B. work C. wages D. time 3. If everyone stopped smoking , a family of four could have ......... more each year .

The Mississippi, the longer river in the U.S, begins as a small, clear stream in northwestern Minnesota . 4. Anybody plans to attend the conference ought to send a short note to the chairperson . 5. They are going to have to leave soon , and so do we . b Rewrite each sentence , starting as shown , so that the meaning stays the same . 1.They think the owner of the house is abroad .

Chän c©u tr¶ lêi ®óng nhÊt (5ps) During the teenage years , many young people can at times be difficult to talk to . They often seem to dislike being questioned . They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school . This is a normal development at this age , though it can be very hard for parents to understand . It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up . Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them . Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future plan but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to . Parents should also watch for the danger signs : some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex , drugs , alcohol or smoking . Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behavior which may be connected with these and get help if necessary . 1. This passage is taken from a.... A. handbook for parents B. school timetable C. teenage magazine D. book for children 2. Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult to talk to ? A. because most teenagers are quiet B. because teenagers don’t want to talk to other people C. because teenagers think adult not honest D. because most teenagers hate adults 3. When can you expect young people to be more talkative than usual ? A. When people talk to them because they are really interested and not just checking on them B. When adults give them a lot of money to spend C. When adults talk to them about something other than their work in school D. When adults talk to them about sex, alcohol and drugs 4. Some teenagers experiment with drinking and smoking because A. cigarettes and alcohol are available everywhere B. cigarettes and alcohol are cheap C. women like smoking and drinking men D. they regard them as a mark of adulthood 5.

Chän c©u tr¶ lêi ®óng nhÊt (5ps) During the teenage years , many young people can at times be difficult to talk to . They often seem to dislike being questioned . They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school . This is a normal development at this age , though it can be very hard for parents to understand . It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up . Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them . Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future plan but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to . Parents should also watch for the danger signs : some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex , drugs , alcohol or smoking . Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behaviour which may be connected with these and get help if necessary . 1. This passage is taken from a.... A. handbook for parents B. school timetable C. teenage magazine D. book for children 2. Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult to talk to ?

When adults give them a lot of money to spend C. When adults talk to them about something other than their work in school D. When adults talk to them about sex, alcohol and drugs 4.

It is not true that British talk about the weather more than any other nation . In many parts of the world the weather holds just as much fascination . Parts of the fascination arises because the weather in many parts of the world is very difficult to forecast . Because Britain is an island sandwiches between a large continent and a large ocean, slight changes in direction of winds in the Atlantic or movements in areas of high or low pressure can make a major difference to our weather . Most of the time our weather is unremarkable . But in the last few years weather patterns have been causing so much trouble that it raises the question : Is the weather changing to such an extent that it amounts to a change in the climate? It is a question that is very difficult to answer . The daily and weekly variations in weather are so great that it takes years of careful measurement to detect changes in the average weather from year to year . And to detect changes in the climate involves the worldwide application of a whole number of scientific investigations . However , looking at the distant past an estimating what may happen in the future based on theoretical possibilities , It seems there are two possibilities . The world could be slipping back towards another Ice Age . But in the shorter term what man is doing may well lead to a heating up of the planet which could delay , if not prevent any forthcoming Ice Age . It is sudden and unexpected weather which makes people wonder what is happening to our climate -like the once - in - a lifetime experience of the vicious storm which swept southern England in autumn 1987 . The southern states of the USA are used to such storm , the southern part of Britain isn’t . And when literally millions of trees were uprooted and millions of pounds worth of damage was done to houses ,farms and businesses, people wondered just what was going on .

A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time : If corrected too much , he will stop talking . He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use . Bit by bit , he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s . In the same way , children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught - to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle - compare their own performances with those of more skilled people , and slowly make the needed changes . But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself , let alone correct them . We do it all for him . We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him , or correct it unless he was made to . Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher . Let him do it himself . Let him work out , with the help of other children if he wants it , what this word says , what the answer is to that problem ,whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not . If it is a matter or right answer , as it may be in mathematics or science , give him the answer book . Let him correct his own papers . Why should our teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer . Let’s end all this nonsense of grades , exams, marks. Let us throw them all out , and let the children learn what all educated persons must some days learn , how to measure their own understanding , how to know what they know or do not know . Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it . The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school

D. basically the same as learning other skills . 4. Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be estimated by. A. educated persons .

Chän c©u tr¶ lêi ®óng nhÊt (5ps) Let children learn to judge their own work . A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time : If corrected too much , he will stop talking . He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use . Bit by bit , he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s . In the same way , children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught - to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle -compare their own performances with those of more skilled people , and slowly make the needed changes . But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself , let alone correct them . We do it all for him . We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him , or correct it unless he was made to . Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher . Let him do it himself . Let him work out , with the help of other children if he wants it , what this word says , what the answer is to that problem ,whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not . If it is a matter or right answer , as it may be in mathematics or science , give him the answer book . Let him correct his own papers . Why should our teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer . Let’s end all this nonsense of grades , exams, marks. Let us throw them all out , and let the children learn what all educated persons must some days learn , how to measure their own understanding , how to know what they know or do not know .
