Man and most animals need a constant supply of water to live. Farmer need water for their crops.
Hydroelectric dams hold back needed water and provide water for homes and industry. Trees, grasses, and
other plant life play an important part in the natural circulation of water, and thus help conserve it. Without
plants most water would run off as soon as it falls, taking away valuable soil. Rapid runoff would cause frequent
floods, and leave little water during dry seasons. Nature has many ways of conserving and controlling water.
But man often upsets the water balance in his desire to grow more crops. He drains ponds, swamps, and wet
lands. He plows under the natural sods, cuts timber, and dredges and straightens streams. These changes
reduce natural storage of water and speed runoff. Water can be held on the land by planting vegetation. Forests
and grass should be planted where are no natural growths. Dams built across rivers help hold back the water.
Reservoirs behind the dams store water during wet seasons for use in dry seasons. Dams help prevent floods by
controlling the flow of water. Many town and cities get their water from nearby lakes and rivers. Some
communities dump sewage and garbage into the water, making it unfit to drink. Water pollution is one of our

37
most serious problems. Progressive cities have sewage treatment plants. These plants return only safe water to
the streams or lakes. Many states have laws that prohibit companies form dumping raw industrial wastes, such
as liquids from a metal – planting factory, into streams. These wastes often endanger the supply of drinking
water. They also kill fish. Most industrial wastes can be treated to make them harmless.

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas found in high concentration in cigarette smoke, not to mention the stuff
which gets out of car exhaust pipes. Once inside the lungs, the carbon atoms grab any passing hemoglobin ( the
oxygen forming substance found in the blood ) and basically take a joy ride around the body. Someone who
smokes 20 a day can have a carbon monoxide level which is 5 – 10 times than a smoker does. It deprives the
body of oxygen, which makes the blood sticky and can cause problems with the growth, repair and exchange of
healthy nutrients. In particular, any reduction in oxygen levels is a real hazard to unborn babies. Pregnant
women who smoke run a serious risk of miscarrying or having babies with low birth rate.

In May 1966, the Worlds Health Organization was authorized to initiate a globe campaign to eradicate smallpox.
The goal was to eliminate the disease in one decade. Because similar projects for malaria and yellow fever had
failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated, but eleven years after the initial organization of the
campaign, no cases were reported in the field.
The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations but also to isolate patients with active smallpox in order to
contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission. Rewards for re[porting smallpox
assisted in motivating the public to aid health workers. One by one, each smallpox victim was sought out, removed
from contact with others, and treated. At the same time, the entire village where the victim had lived was
vaccinated. Today small pox is no longer a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look nice.
How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the tooth. This happens
after the germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually,
poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. he can fill the small holes
in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right
way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should
brush our teeth with toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day – once after breakfast and once
before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we
should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw
vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between
meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
46. Good teeth mainly help us to --------------.
A. look nice B. chew our food C. look important D. have good eyesight.
47. When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth --------------.
A. become hard B. make us feel quite ill C. begin to decay D. send poison into the blood

A. they have toothache B. they have holes in their teeth
C. they have brushed their teeth D. their teeth grow properly
49. What may be most harmful to our teeth?

A. When I was a student, I had a summer job in an expensive restaurant in Glasgow. One day we were expecting
forty members of a football team for lunch. I was given the job of peeling potatoes. I thought I was managing
quite well with my small knife until the owner appeared to see how I was getting on. She was amazed that I was
using a knife and asked why I wasn’t using the potato peeler. I had no idea what a potato was so she led me into a
small room behind the main kitchen. There, on the table, was a small machine like the rubbish bins some people
have in their bathrooms.
She explains as if to a small child that I had to put the potatoes in, close the lid and press the button.
When she came back ten minutes later, I told her I thought it was quicker to do it by hand. She asked what I mean.

C . Every year, 100 million sharks are killed by people in commercial and recreational fishing. In the past they were
killed simply for the sport of landing a good fighting fish. Sharkskin was used for making sandpaper. Other sharks
are hunted for food, and some species for other products.
Sharks are a common seafood in many places around the world, including Japan and Australia. In Australia
shark is the most commonly used fish. Sharks are often killed for shark fin soup, in which many sharks are hunted
for their fins, which are cut off with a hot metal blade before the live animal is tossed back into the water. There

E . During the 19th century, it was common to hear people in Europe and America say that the resources of the sea
are unlimited. For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid-19 th century commented that none of the great sea
fisheries is to be exhausted. Today though, there is evidence that the resources of the sea are as seriously
endangered as those of the land and the air, and that the endangered species include Herring and Carp as well as the
African Elephant, Indian Tiger, and the American Eagle.
Furthermore, the threats to fish are more alarming in some ways than the threats to animals and birds.
This is because fishes are a much needed food resources and people throughout the world depend on fish as
an important part of their dish, and the decline in the fish supply could have extensive effects on hunger and
population. Fishermen in the North Atlantic alone annually harvest 20 billion pounds of fish to satisfy food
demands, but it is important to recognize that these practices cannot continue without depleting fish storage within
the next few years. Sea resources are rapidly declining in many parts of the world, and the problem cannot be
ignored.

 C/ Different language learners learn words in different ways. Some learners make a list and put into it the
meanings of new words in their mother tongue, and try to learn them by heart. However, others do not. Instead, they
write one or two example sentences with each new word in order to remember how to use the word in the right way.
In order to remember words better, some learners even write each word and its use on a small piece of paper and
stick it somewhere in their house so as to learn it any time. Many learners do not try to learn all new words they
come across. They usually underline or highlight only the words they want to learn. This helps them to remember
important words. Learners do not only learn the meanings of new words but also learn how to spell and pronounce
them so as to use them in both writing and speaking.
There are also different ways of learning the same number of words. For example, if you try to learn ten words in
two days, you can do so in two ways. You can learn the first five words the first day, and learn the other five the
next day. However, because revision is necessary, you can learn all the ten words the first day and revise them the
next day. This helps you practice the words more times. Language learners should try different ways of learning
words so as to find out the best way for themselves. Ask yourself the question: How should I learn words ?

D/ English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages when I was
at high school. Now I am still learning Spanish at the University. As for me, mastering a foreign language is not
easy. When studying a language, I think practice is very necessary and useful. Travelling to the country where the
target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well enough you will certainly have
troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, listen to the radio in the language I am trying to learn.
However, getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing. Grammar and Vocabulary should be
mastered first.

were damaged by erosion. After 40 years of conservation efforts, it seems to be still in bad condition because of a
lot of new demands which are placed on land by heavy crop production. The increasing of population leads to many
other problems. The environment has been gradually destroyed . In the years ahead, soil erosion and the population
problems obviously cause the Americans many troubles.

 D/ Ordinary houses are full of hazardous waste. The most important hazardous waste in the homes is batteries.
When you throw them out with your other garbage, they break open at the landfill. The poison inside them moves
through rain water and other liquids to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground,
so we should use rechargeable batteries. Another hazardous waste in homes is motor oil. Don’t throw old motor oil
on the ground or throw it on the garbage. It poisons the environment. We should recycle motor oil. Paint is another
kind of hazardous waste in homes. Some cities have a “ Paint Exchange day” . If you bring in open, unused blue
paint and want red, they give you red. Sometimes they mix the paints together into strange colors. If you paint walls
with them, you help save the environment.

E/ Drought is a condition that results when the average rainfall for a fertile area drops far below the normal amount
for a long period of time. In areas that are not irrigated, the lack of rain causes farm crops to wither and die. Higher
than normal temperatures usually accompany periods of drought. They add to the crop damage. Forest fires start
easily during drought. The soil of a drought area becomes dry and crumbles. The rich top soil is often blown away
by the hot, dry winds. Streams, ponds and wells often dry up during a drought, and animals suffer a drought may
even die because of the lack of water.

V/ READING COMPREHENSION :
A/ Nowadays we have many conveniences in our society which have been brought about through science and
technology. However, these same advancements in science and technology have caused some dangerous problems.
These problems will not go away easily because people do not want to give up the conveniences of a modern life-
style. The most critical problems are pollution.
Machinery, domestic devices and means of transport make human life more comfortable, but they have
dangerous emissions.
The problems created by pollution are growing daily. Because people do not want to change their life-styles, we
must invent a way to neutralize the pollutants we are putting into our environment. People need to be educated to
stop damaging the earth. Furthermore, governments, must take action to prevent individuals and companies from
harming the environment.

c. pay attention to education d. damage the earth.

B/ There are many sources of pollution in our modern world. At present, the most serious sources are acid rain, car
exhaust fumes and oil spills. Factory chimneys give out smoke that contains sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.
These gases combine with moisture in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid. When it rains, these
acids dissolve in the rain and make it acidic. Acid rain is believed to be the worst pollution of all. It has harmed
aquatic life by turning many lakes into lifeless bodies of water. Car exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and
lead which are highly poisonous. In big cities, the exhaust fumes build up and pose a health hazard to human
beings. Pollution of the sea by oil threatens marine life. Much of the oil comes from ships that clean their fuel tanks
while at sea. Offshore oil wells also discharge vast amounts of oil into the sea. Pollution of the sea can also be
caused by oil spills.

C/ Pollution caused by chemicals from car exhaust fumes and smoke from factories is a very serious problem
because it leads to the loss of the ozone layer. All of us know that without the ozone layer, not only human beings
but also all plants and animals life are exposed to dangerous rays from the sun. Even refrigeration and air-
conditioning system which make our lives more convenient can also have dangerous emissions. They emit
poisonous gases into the air that we breathe.
The chemicals we use for cleaning and the waste from factories go into our water system and pollute the water
that we drink and the fish that we eat. They also kill much of the wildlife we depend on food. Some of the

burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Changing waste products into gases or
oil is also an efficient way to dispose of waste.
Experimental work is being done to make synthetic fuels from coal, or coal tars. But today, that process has
proved expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power,
heat from the earth, is also being tested.
Some experts are trying to revive hydroelectric power which is derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years
ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only
four per cent. The oceans are another source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to change the energy of ocean
currents, tides, and waves into electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in
ocean water to produce energy.

Question IV : Read the following passage carefully. Make questions from the suggested words and answer them.
(2p)
Different language learners learn words in different ways. Some learners make a list and put into it the meanings
of new words in their mother tongue, and try to learn them by heart. However, others do not. Instead, they write one
or two example sentences with each new word in order to remember how to use the word in the right way.
In order to remember words better, some learners even write each word and its use on a small piece of paper and
stick it somewhere in their house so as to learn it any time.
Many language learners do not try to learn all new words they come across. They usually underline or highlight
only the words they want to learn. This helps them remember important words.
Learners do not only learn the meanings of new words but also how to spell and pronounce them so as to use
them in both writing and speaking.

151
 There are also different ways of learning the same number of words. For example, if you try to learn ten words
in two days, you can do so in two ways. You can learn the first five words the first day, and then learn the other five
the next day. However, because revision is necessary, you can learn all the ten words the first day and revise them
the next day. This helps you practise the words more times.
Language learners should try different ways of learning words so as to find out the best way for themselves.
Ask yourself the question : How should I learn words?
1. Why /some learners / write example sentences / new words ?
-_________________________________________________________________________
2. What / some learners / do / to remember words better ?
-_________________________________________________________________________
3. What / language learners / do / remember important words ?

Jack London (1876-1916)
Jack London’s life and writing are thought by many to represent the American love of nature. He was born in
San Francisco, California, and quit school at fourteen to become a sailor. He travelled a great deal during his short
lifetime in the United States, Europe and the Far East.
ack London took a high place in American literature at the beginning of the 20 th century. At that time, the library
shelves and bookshops of America were already full of books by famous writers. But Jack London’s stories were
new ones; his heroes were not like the ones in the books of other writers, and the pictures he painted were not the
same as their pictures.
The men in Jack London’s books live a difficult life, a life full of danger. In his stories, Jack London shows us
that in the terrible world a man must fall and die in the snow if he makes even the smallest mistake. But his heroes
are afraid of nothing, and nothing can stop them. People in books by Jack London never lose hope; they never stop
fighting for life even when the end of life seems very near. That is the lesson for people to learn in everything we
want and everything we do; if we do not lose hope, we must and will win.

transparent. Because of this tranparency, the frequency and focus of the laser beam can be adjusted according to the
absorption of the tissue so that the beam “cuts” inside the eye with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue.

Read the text carefully and then choose the correct answers:
It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help
us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of
the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly
spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can
fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that
they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before
they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at
least twice a day – once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden
toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our
teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit.
Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are
harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
41. Good teeth mainly help us to ____.
A. look nice B. chew our food C. look important D. have good eyesight

begin to decay D. send poison into the blood
