Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

South Pole explorer Ernest Shackleton never reached his goal of crossing Antarctica, but the
circumstances that prevented him from reaching that goal pushed him to achieve an even
more amazing feat. In January 1915 Shackelton‟s ship Endurance became trapped in the ice
of Antarctica. He and his crew of twenty-seven lived on the ship trapped in the ice floes for
nine months, until they had to abandon the ship when the ice crushed it. The day the ship
sank, Shackleton wrote his new goal: “The task is to reach land with all members of the
expedition.” The group camped on the ice floes for six months, until the ice broke up and they
took small lifeboats to nearby uninhabited Elephant Island. During their time on the ship, ice,
and island, Shackleton‟s group endured temperatures as low as twenty degrees below zero and
had no daylight from May to July. They had to hunt scarce seals and penguins for food, and
were hunted themselves by killer whales and sea leopards, which would rise through the ice in
search of prey. Throughout this time, Shackleton demonstrated his leadership by rationing
food, rotating use of warmer sleeping bags, and keeping a calm, positive attitude that helped
morale. He also showed great courage as he and five of his men crossed eight hundred miles of
dangerous ocean to the nearest inhabited island to seek help. Despite no maps and terrible
weather, Shackeleton‟s small boat reached the island where Shackleton and an even smaller
group crossed unexplored, jagged mountains to reach a whaling station. He organized a rescue
party to retrieve the rest of his crew, and despite the perils of living in south polar waters for
almost two years, all twenty-seven men came back from the expedition. Shackleton never
crossed the South Pole, but he completed the task of bringing back all of his crew alive.
Câu 21: Shackleton and his men had to abandon the Endurance when .
A. ice crushed the ship
B. they ran out of food and had to leave to hunt for more
C. killer whales attacked the ship
D. the ship ran aground on Elephant Island
Câu 22: When did the expedition crew leave the Endurance?
A. In January 1915 B. In October 1915 C. In July 1915 D. In January 1917
Câu 23: What does the word “themselves” refer to?
A. scarce seals and penguins B. Shackleton and his crew
C. preys D. killer whales and sea leopards
Câu 24: What is the author‟s tone in the passage?
A. doubtful B. admiring C. sentimental D. critical
Câu 25: What is the best title of the passage?
A. Shackleton‟s Amazing Feat B. A Great Attempt to Cross Antarctica

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to the following questions.
Free-standing sculpture that is molded or carved is a type familiar to almost everyone.
Although certain free-standing figures or groups of figures can have only a single side
intended for viewing, others are completed on all sides. As with all other forms of art, the
ultimate shape of a sculpture reflects the artist„s vision of individuals or experiences
represented by the work. Throughout history, people everywhere have discovered a need
for sculpture as a record of events and feelings.
Materials which can be sculptured do much to contribute to the artist‟s imagination.
Wood, stone, metal, and various types of plastic and synthetics are all used as sculpting
media. When sculptures are made of stone, wood, ivory, or even ice, the sculptor carves
or chips the substance to reduce it to the necessary shape. Developing a sculptured image
on all sides represents a change from the older approach when artists left the back portion
of the figure unfinished and rough. In fact, sculpture in relief is completely attached to the
flat background material and appears to be a part of it. Relief, which is completed only on
one side intended for viewing, was the first type of sculpture created by man, when
ancient sculptors removed the background material in a side of a tree or a cave to make
their drawing appear more realistic.
While creating a statue, the artist depends on the appropriate lighting to develop the
figure because the quality of the final product relies on the interplay between light and
shade. When the work is finished, the sculpture must be displayed in the same light as it
was originally created. If a light from a source is too weak or too strong, the effect that the
sculptor intended may be lost. For example, in painting, the light and shade give the
image shape and solidity that cannot be altered by an external light in which it is
displayed. When a sculpture is exhibited, the artist‟s work is brought to life by light, and
its character can be altered by the control of the light source. A fundamental difference
between a painting and a sculpture is that when viewing a painting, the audience can only
see the point of view that the painter had intended. A free- standing sculpture can be seen
from practically any angle. The job of the sculptor is then to attain the quality and the
volume of the image from any possible point of view.
In addition to carving a work, sculptures can be cast. In the process of casting, a
sculpture can be reproduced in a mold when a liquefied medium is poured into shape.
After the material from which the sculpture is made hardens, the mold is removed, and the
work is cleaned of the excess and polished. Casting allows the artists to produce as many
replicas as needed. Most commercially sold sculptures are made in this way. Casting
metals requires special care and skill. Bronze is the preferred metal because of its
versatility and malleability. To make bronze sculpture, the space in a mold is filled with
wax until it is melted by the heated metal. This process, sometimes called lost-wax, was
favored by Benvenuto Cellini and was common among the artists in ancient China.
Câu 26: What is the main topic of this passage?
A. Differences between painting and sculpture B. Sculpting techniques and media
C. Types of commercially produced sculptures D. Reasons for enjoying sculpture
Câu 27: The word “ ultimate” is closest in meaning to
A. ulterior B. final C. formal D. formidable

A. Display a group of figures B. Reflect a human need for freedom

times

Câu 30: The author of the passage implies that the most important factor in showing a
sculpted work is
A. the effect of light on the sculpted image B. the development of the sculpted figure
C. the shape of the material for sculpting D. the strength of the light source

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct word for each of the blanks in the following question.
Urbanisation can bring (39) a lot of benefits. It can offer people from
rural areas not only opportunities for better-paid jobs, but also access to schools, hospitals
and other social services. As a result, people's overall standard of living can improve.
People in rural areas tend to be more conservative and follow old-fashioned practices
like child marriage and gender discrimination. The process of urbanisation can actually
(40) their mindset and help them to accept more progressive ideas.
However, there are also some obvious disadvantages. High rates of urbanisation can
contribute to more crime in big cities. (41) many people benefit, not all get the
opportunity of a good and stable job. Unemployed, people are more likely to engage in
robbery, kidnapping, murder and other illegal activities. Another problem caused by
urbanisation is the shortage of affordable housing in big cities, (42) can result in
growth of slums with no sanitation or drinking water. In addition, urbanisation leads to the
shift of the working population from agriculture to industries. Labour shortages in rural
areas are likely to result in a decrease in agricultural and food production as well.
To sum up urbanisation can bring social and health benefits; however, it also has its
own drawbacks. I've only discussed some of them. If you have any questions or
comments, please (43) free to raise them and I'll try my best to answer them.

answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Since the early eighties, we have been only too aware of the devastating effects of large-scale environmental
pollution. Such pollution is generally the result of poor government planning in many developing nations or the
shortsighted, selﬁsh policies of the already industrialized countries, which encourage a minority of the world’s
population to squander the majority of its natural resources.
While events such as the deforestation of the Amazon jungle or the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl continue to
receive high media exposure, as do acts of environmental sabotage, it must be remembered that not all pollution
is on this grand scale. A large proportion of the world's pollution has its source much closer to home. The recent
spillage of crude oil from an oil tanker accidentally discharging its cargo straight into Sydney not only caused
serious damage to the harbor foreshores but also created severely toxic fumes which hung over the suburbs for
days and left the angry residents wondering how such a disaster could have been allowed to happen.
Avoiding pollution can be a fulltime job. Try not to inhale trafﬁc fumes; keep away from Chemical plants
and building-sites; wear a mask when cycling. It is enough to make you want to stay at home. But that, according
to a growing body of scientific evidence, would also be a bad idea. Research shows that levels of pollutants such
as hazardous gases, particulate matter and other chemical 'nasties’ are usually higher indoors than out, even in
the most polluted cities. Since the average American spends 18 hours indoors for every hour outside, it looks as
though many environmentalists may be attacking the wrong target.

A. the devastating effects of environmental pollution in some areas.
B. environmental pollution as a result of poor policies.
C. indoor pollution.
D. deforestation of the Amazon jungle.

A. The Sydney Harbour oil spill was the result of a ship refueling in the harbor.
B. The Sydney Harbour oil spill was the result of a tanker pumping oil into the sea.
C. The Sydney Harbour oil spill was the result of a collision between two oil tankers.

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 44 to 50.
After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the
United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a substantial increase in
enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the
number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to
75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many
graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or
in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to
students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA
degrees. Students have asked the question, "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a
good job?" The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-
level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands.
(Adapted from Exam Essentials Practice Tests - Cambridge English by Tom Bradbury and Eunice Yeates)

A. Types of graduate degrees B. Jobs on Wall Street
C. Changes in enrollment for MBA schools D. How schools are changing to reflect the economy

C. the movement toward D. the drawback of
Question 49: Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?

In Africa, people celebrate with joy the birth of a new baby. The Pygmies would sing a birth-song to the child. In
Kenya, the mother takes the baby strapped to her back into the thorn enclosure where the cattle are kept. There, her
husband and the village elders wait to give the child his or her name.
In West Africa, after the baby is eight days old, the mother takes the baby for its first walk in the big, wide world, and
friends and family are invited to meet the new baby. In various African nations, they hold initiation ceremonies for
groups of children instead of birthdays. When children reach a certain designated age, they learn the laws, beliefs,
customs, songs and dances of their tribes. Some African tribes consider that children from nine to twelve are ready to be
initiated into the grown up world. They may have to carry out several tests.
Maasai boys around thirteen years old to seventeen undergo a two-stage initiation. The first stage lasts about three
months. The boys leave their parents' homes, paint their bodies white, and are taught how to become young warriors. At
the end of this stage, they have their heads shaved and they are also circumcised. At the second stage, the young warriors
grow their hair long and live in a camp called a “manyatta” where they practice hunting the wild animals that might
attack the Maasai herds. This stage may last a few years. When they are ready, they will marry and become owners of
large cattle herds like their fathers. The girls are initiated when they are fourteen or fifteen. They are taught by the older
women about the duties of marriage and how to care for babies. Soon after that they are married and lead a life similar to
that of their mothers.

Foot racing is a popular activity in the United States. It is seen not only as a competitive sport but also as a way
to exercise, to enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded people, and to donate money to a good cause. Though
serious runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train at all. Those not
competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time or simply to enjoy the fun and exercise. People of
all ages, from those of less than one year (who may be pushed in strollers) to those in their eighties, enter into this
sport. The races are held on city streets, on college campuses, through parks, and in suburban areas, and they are
commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length.
The largest foot race in the world is the 12-kilometer Bay to Breakers race that is held in San Francisco every
spring. This race begins on the east side of the city near San Francisco Bay and ends on the west side at the
Pacific Ocean. There may be 80,000 or more people running in this race through the streets and hills of San
Francisco. In the front are the serious runners who compete to win and who might finish in as little as 34 minutes.
Behind them are the thousands 20 who take several hours to finish. In the back of the race are those who dress
in costumes and come just for fun. One year there was a group of men who dressed like Elvis Presley, and
another group consisted of firefighters who were tied together in a long line and who were carrying a fire hose.
There was even a bridal party, in which the bride was dressed in a long white gown and the groom wore a tuxedo.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
Today, there are 600 million cars in the world. They may seem like a lot. However, there are over
7 million people on our planet. Most of the world’s population uses public transportation to get around.
The number of people using public transportation continues to rise. Subway systems worldwide carry 155
million passengers each day. That’s more than 30 times the number carried by all the world’s airplanes.
Every day in Tokyo passengers take more than 40 million rides on public transportation.
Yet many people see public transportation as ‘a depressing experience’, says author Taras
Gresco. They say it is slow, crowded, or too expensive. In fact , Gresco says, it is actually ‘faster, more
comfortable and cheaper’ than driving a car. Like millions of people, Taras Gresco is a ‘straphanger’ - a
person who rides public transportation. In his book straphanger: Saving Our Cities and Ourselves from
the Automobile, Gresco describe the benefits of public transportation. Firstly, it is better for the
environment. When people use public transportation, they use less fuel. Twenty people on one bus use
much less fuel than 20 people in 20 cars. Fewer cars mean less pollution and cleaner air.
Using public transportation can be good for your health in other ways. It can even help you lose
weight. In one study, a group of people took public transportation every day for six months. Each day
they walked to a bus stop or train station. In six months, each person lost an average of six pounds -
almost three kilograms. Taking public transportation has another benefit, says Gresco. It helps people
become part of their community. When you are alone in your car, you don’t talk to anyone. One Tokyo
straphanger told Gresco, “To use public transport is to know how to cooperate with other people,’ It
teaches you ‘how to behave in a public space’. So, public transportation is more than a way to get to
work or school. It can help lead to cleaner cities. It may also lead to a healthier and more cooperative
world population.

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 from 40 to 44
The word robot first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a
man makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In the
1940s, the American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote a series of stories about robots and
invented the term robotics, the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were
developed by an engineer, Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they
started Unimation, a manufacturing company that produces the first real robot in 1961, called the
Unimate. Robots of this type were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a
success. They worked reliably and saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon
acquiring robots as well.
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in
science fiction films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply
pieces of computer-controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands”. Since they were made of metal,
they could perform certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve
high heat. And since robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful
for tasks that would be tiring or boring for humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years,
and today they are used in many factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the
loss of some jobs, at the same time other jobs have been created in the design, development, and
production of the robots. (Rise of the Robots, Silicon Valley Entrepreneur, Martin Ford, 1988.)

The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental destruction, is changing the way
buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the
environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the movement is growing, as builders have
been able to take advantage of new technology.
Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps. Also, they reduce
environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One way is to provide an alternative, non-
polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Once
installed, they provide energy at no cost and with no pollution.
Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut electricity use noticeably
by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs. To reduce the amount of fuel needed for heating or
cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so that the building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most environmentally responsible office
building in America. Every aspect of the design and building had to consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant
workplace for employees and the need to lessen the negative environmental impact. 75 percent of the building materials
were recycled materials, and the energy use has been reduced by 43 percent and water use by 32 percent, compared with
other buildings of the same size.
In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed according to green building
principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was once the site of army housing. The site has been
completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30 percent less energy than conventional ones. These houses, heated by special
non-polluting systems, are also equipped with solar panels.
A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include houses for 400 families built with
solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation. In a second phase, entire neighborhoods in six cities will be
built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas in new neighborhoods across China.
Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies, and governments are beginning to
see their benefits. Not only are they environmentally friendly, green buildings improve living and working conditions and
also save money in the long run.

REALITY TELEVISION
Reality, television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or humourous
situations, documents actual events and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It could be described as a
form of artificial or "heightened" documentary. Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early year
of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from games to quiz shows which resemble
the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern example is Gaki no Tsukai),
to surveillance - or voyeurism - focused production such as Big Brother.
Critics say that the term "reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently portray a
modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal situations, sometimes
coach to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen manipulated through editing and other post-
production techniques.
Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. For example, on
the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, travelling on extraordinary dates to
scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent
and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also reach some
degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an inaccurate description of several styles of program
included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other special-living-
environment shows like the Real World, the producers design the format of the show and control the day-to-day activities
and the environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically
select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular
behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and
avoids the word "reality” to describe his shows; he has said, "I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is
unscripted drama."
