regularly sees whales and gets to swim with dolphins. She also has friends in different countries. She does her
schoolwork online and her studies are going well. She can speak four languages and has been to many countries,
so her (26) __________ of the world is greater than most children her age. Every day after studying, she helps
do the (27) __________. She feels she has a duty to help her parents. She believes family life is more pleasant
when everyone shares the household chores. She often cleans the floors, (28) __________ the table for meals
and does the washing-up. She also cooks dinner, especially when her parents are too busy. Life on board is

B. Read the following passage and decide the best answer to the question
I live on the coast of Ocean City, Maryland, where there are lots of beautiful sandy beaches and warm sunny
days. It’s the perfect place for my favourite hobby – making sand sculptures. Four years ago, there was a sand
sculpture festival near where I live. I couldn’t believe that such wonderful model buildings, incredible creatures,
and some amazingly realistic faces of celebrities were all made out of sand. From that moment, I knew that this
was something I would love to do. I’ve heard people say that making sand castles is for kids, not adults, but that
doesn’t bother me at all. I believe sand art is a creative and playful hobby that can be enjoyed by all ages. People
can make different kinds of shapes and form structures out of their creative mind. The only materials needed
are water and sand – plenty of it, and lots of time. Creating a big sand sculpture may take up weeks to build. It
also requires a lot of endurance and patience from the sculptors. Many people don’t understand that even lightly
touching a sand sculpture can make a whole section fall off, which can take hours to rebuild. Of course, heavy
rain can do some damage, but not as much as you might think. As long as you build far enough up the beach,
the waves won’t wash a sand sculpture away. So, when you’re next at the seaside, make one yourself – you’ll
get a great sense of achievement.
Here are five multiple-choice questions based on the text:
30. Which statement is TRUE?**
A. Sand sculpting is only for children.
B. Sand sculpting is a creative and challenging hobby for all ages.
C. Building sand sculptures requires expensive tools.
D. Sand sculptures are easily washed away by the ocean.
31. According to the text, what inspired the writer to take up sand sculpting?**
A. A visit to a museum of sand art. B. The warm, sunny weather of Ocean City.
C. Attending a sand sculpture festival. D. Watching a sand sculpting video online.
32. Which statement is NOT TRUE?**
A. Sand sculpting is also for adults. B. It takes little time.
C. It requires a lot of endurance. D. It can be easily rebuilt after any damage.
33. What does the word “one” most likely refer to?**
A. seaside B. sand sculpture C. beach D. heavy rain
34. What is the text mainly about?**
A. A festival that the writer attended B. A seaside city
C. A hobby D. A creative girl

35. What do you like doing in your spare time? (INTERESTED)

II) Read the article and decide the best answer to the question
A Robotic Helping Hand
The word ‘robot ’first appeared in 1921 in a play called Rossum’s Universal Robots, but it would be a long time
before any appeared in our lives. The first robots worked in factories, doing dangerous jobs. Then, in 1997,
robot makers focused on our homes and made the first household robot. It could clean dust from the floor. Five
years later, the first robot vacuum arrived. Have you heard about it?
Robot makers have made great progress since 2002. Today, robots do chores and jobs, entertain us and even
play sports. For our chores, we have a robotic kitchen, which suggests meals, cooks them and cleans up too!
You can find robots in restaurants slicing, cooking, and frying. They even serve the food! For entertainment,
some art exhibitions have walls full of amazing paintings and a robot painted each one. It’s true. The robot
added a little paint, took a picture of the work and decided where to put more paint. How creative! In sports,
robots can do almost anything. They can shoot a basketball, do gymnastics, ski and ride a horse. Robots even
play in their own world cup, and yes, even the referees are robots.
We are expecting great things from robots in the future. Will we have anything left to do ourselves? Experts
believe robots will do all our household chores, be able to have almost any job and entertain us with arts, sport
and music. Who knows? Maybe they will be in the audience with us.
27. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. the problems that robots may bring to us B. The history of robots
C. the prediction about robots’ future D. the uses of robots
28. When did the first household robot appear?
A. in 1921 B. in 1997 C. in 2002 D. in 2005
29. What does the word “them” refer to?
A. chores B. robotic kitchen C. meals D. robots
30. Which statement is TRUE?
A. The first robots for our homes could vacuum the floor.
B. We’ve had robot vacuums for five years now.
C. The first robots helped us do household chores.
D. Robots were used in factories before in our homes.
31. What does the word “ referees” mean?
A. the people who play in a sports game
B. the people who make sure the rules in a sports game are followed
C. the people who cheered the players up in a sports game
D. the people who often attend sports games

III) Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.

_____children experience of relationship skills like communicating clearly or working as a team. It also allows
them to feel valued and competent. And sharing housework can also help families work better and (34)____

for the family to do fun things together. As a result, family life is more pleasant when everyone shares the
chores.
It’s best to start by choosing chores (35)_____are suitable for children’s ages and abilities. Getting children into

on. Teenagers can help with preparing or cooking dinner, babysitting their younger siblings or shopping for
groceries. However, there are some children who are motivated to do chores (37)_____pocket money. It might
not be a good idea. Instead of linking chores to pocket money, parents can praise children’s (38)_____
behaviours and give them small rewards like choosing the TV programmes or having a special meal.

One of my favorite entertaining activities is going to the movies. Watching a movie at the cinema is always
fun because the big screen and loud sound make it exciting. I usually go with my friends or family, and we
always have a good time together. We buy some popcorn and drinks, then find our seats and get comfortable.

movie has surprising twists or funny moments that make everyone laugh. After the movie, we usually talk about

Going to the movies is also a good way to relax. After a busy week at work or school, sitting in a theater
and watching a good film helps me forget about stress. Plus, it’s an easy activity to plan. You just check the
movie times, buy tickets, and go!
Overall, going to the movies is a simple and fun activity that I enjoy doing, especially with friends.
