III. Grammar
1. Some/any
- Both some and any are used to say unidentified amount of something when it is impossible or not
necessary to say the exact amount.
1.1. Some: Một ít, một vài
- Some is often used in affirmative sentences before countable nouns in plural forms or uncountable
nouns.
Examples:
I want some milk.
I need some eggs.
- Sometimes some is used in interrogative sentences when expecting the answer is Yes, or is used
in sentences for requesting, inviting and offering
Examples:
Did you buy some oranges?
Would you like some more coffee?
May I go out for some drink?
1.2. Any: Một ít, một vài
- Any is often used before countable nouns in plural form or uncountable nouns in negative or
interrogative sentences.
Examples:
Do you want any sugar?
She didn't see any boys in her class.
- Any is used before uncountable nouns and countable nouns in singular form in affirmative clauses
with negative meaning or after words having negative meaning like never, hardly, scarcely,
without...
Examples:
I'm free all day. Come and see me any time you like.
He's lazy. He never does any work
If there are any letters for me, can you send them on to this address?
If you need any more money, please let me know.
Notes:
- We can use some and any without any nouns when those nouns are identified.
Examples:
Tim wanted some milk, but he couldn't find any.
(Or) If you have no stamps, I will give you some.
- Pronouns like something, anything, someone, anyone, somebody, anybody, somewhere,
anywhere... can be used in a similar way with some and any.
Examples:
I don't see anything on the table.
(Or) Is there anybody in your house now?
(Or) I want to do something to help you.
2. A cup of tea, a loaf of bread
- Tea and bread are uncountable nouns, so we cannot use article ‘a’ or numbers before them, but
we can say a cup of tea và a loaf of bread.
- Some other examples of expression of uncountable nouns: a carton of apple juice, a tin of paint,
a bottle of milk, a box of cereal, a tube of toothpaste, a glass of coffee, a piece of wood, a slice of
bread, a sheet of paper, half a pound of butter, two littres of petrol, a bar of chocolate...
- This way of expression can also be used for plural nouns after of: a box of matches, two kilos of
tomatoes, a collection of stamps
3. Modal verbs in Conditional Sentences Type 1
If - clause Main clause
If + S + V (present simple) S + will/ can/ may/ might/ should/ must + V (bare infinitive)...
Examples:
I will buy a big house if I have enough money.

V. Read the text and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).
A cacao tree is about seven meters high and is covered with large leaves. Up to 6,000 small
pink or white flowers appear on a tree every year. Only a few of these flowers produce a pod. Each
pod is about 15 to 20 centimetres long and contains from 20 to 50 beans. A tree produces only
about 20 to 40 pods a year.
People gather these pods, break them open with large knives, take out the beans, and dry them.
After a few days, the beans are cleaned, roasted, and ground into tiny pieces. The natural fat in the
beans becomes a liquid. Chocolate is made from this liquid.
Today the largest suppliers of chocolate are Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Brazil.
Ghana got its first cacao tree from Fernando Po, a Spanish colony off the coast of Africa. A
Ghanaian who was working on Fernando Po in 1879 took a cacao pod home and planted it. It grew
into a tree. Other people slowly started growing cacao trees. Before this, there were wars in the
region for decades. When people started growing cacao trees, they stopped fighting. In this way,
chocolate brought peace to the Africans there.
A tropical tree with an Indian name brought peace to West Africa. Chocolate brings pleasure
to all of us when we eat and drink this delicious food.
1. _________ A cacao tree is about seven meters high and covered with large pink and white
leaves.
2. _________ Each year, a cacao tree has 6,000 flowers which produce a pod of about 15 to 20
centimetres long and contains from 20 to 50 beans.
3. _________ Chocolate is made from the liquid which are the natural fat in the beans taken out
from the cacao's flower pods.
4. _________ People in Ghana started planting cacao in 1879 and cacao trees helped them stop
fighting.
5. _________ We can feel happy and comfortable when we eat and drink chocolate.
VI. Read the following text and answer the questions below.
Isn't it amazing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten ...?”
“What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And when you travel from one country to another, you
find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is
normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly.
In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat
potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many
things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange
juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink large amount
of beer and the French drink wine every day.
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is
thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders
eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its
smell, but they enjoy raw fish.
So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is very little
common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always
been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.
1. What does the writer think of people's opinions about food?

III. Read the following text and answer the questions below.
Indians in North and South America ate popcorn thousands of years ago. Scientists found
some ears of popcorn in New Mexico, a state in the United States. They were 5,600 years old.
Farmers probably learned to raise popcorn first before they planted other kinds of com. Farmers
now raise popcorn in the United States, Australia, Argentina, South Africa, and southern Europe.
Corn was an important food for the Indians. It was also important for their religion. When
Columbus and other Europeans visited the New World, they saw this. When the Indians and
Europeans had their first Thanksgiving, they ate popcorn. Today Thanksgiving is an important
holiday in the United States but people don't usually eat popcorn for this holiday now.
Many Europeans and Indians fought wars with each other. When a war finished, the Indians
brought popcorn as a sign of peace.

III. Grammar
1. Conditional sentences type 2
1.1. Uses
The second conditional is used to talk about things which are unreal (not true or not possible) in
the present or the future -- things which don't or won't happen.
1.2. Forms
If + S + V (past simple), S + would (could, might...) + V (infinitive).
S +would (could, might) + V (infinitive) + if +S +V (past simple).
* Inversion: Were + S + (to V), S + would (could, might...) + V (infinitive)
Note:
We can use ‘were’ instead of ‘was’ with ‘I’ and ‘he/she/it’. This is mostly done in formal writing.
Example Explanation
If I were you, I would drive more carefully in
the rain.
I am not you - this is unreal.
Paula would be sad if Jan left. Jan will not leave - that's not going to happen.
If dogs had wings, they would be able to fly. Dogs don't have wings - that's impossible.
2. Relative clauses
1.1. Definition
A relative clause is a clause that usually modifies a noun or noun phrase and is introduced by a
relative pronoun (which, that, who, whom, whose), a relative adverb (where, when, why). It is also
known as an adjective clause.
2.2. Relative pronouns / adverbs
person thing place time reason
subject who/that which/ that
object who/whom/that which/that
adverb where when
why
(for which)
possession whose
whose
(of which)
2.2.1. Who
- We use who in relative clauses to refer to people, and sometimes to pet animals.
Examples:
I need to meet the boy who is my friend's son.
That's the dog who doesn't like me.
We don't know the person who donated this money
2.2.2. Whom
- We use whom in formal styles or in writing to refer to people when the person is the object of the
verb. Whom can be used with prepositions in formal writing.
Examples:
I know the girl whom I spoke to.
The girl whom you saw at the concert is John's sister.
She smiled as she remembered the quiet scholar with whom she had shared a love of books.
2.2.3. Which
- We use which in relative clauses to refer to animals and to things.
Examples:
She works for a company which makes cars.
The accident which Daniel saw wasn't very serious.
You need to tick the box which says yes.
- We always use which to introduce relative clauses when they refer to a whole sentence or clause:
Examples:
He passed his exam, which pleased his parents.
She had to get up and walk all the way to the other side of the room, which isn't easy with a bad
back.
Notes: Which + prepositions
- We can use which as the complement of a preposition:
Early in the Autumn Term there is a reception at which you can meet current staff and students.
Close by, in the churchyard, is the famous Rudston stone, from which the village takes its name.
John found a cat, the leg of which was broken.
2.2.4. That
- We use that instead of who, whom or which in relative clauses to refer to people, animals and
things. We use it to introduce defining clauses only.
Examples:
I need to meet the boy that! who is my friend's son.
I know the girl that/ who/ whom I spoke to.
She works for a company that/ which makes cars.
* We can use That:
- after: something, anyone, nobody...or “all, much, none, little...”
I'll tell you something that is very interesting.
- after superlatives or ordinal numbers: only, first, last, second, next...
This is the most beautiful dress that I've ever had.
* We can't use That:
- in non-defining relative clauses.
Mr Brown, that we studied English with, is a very nice teacher (wrong).
- after prepositions.
The house in that I was horn is for sale. (wrong)
* We must use That:
- after phrases indicating both people and things.
He told me the places and people that he had seen in London.
2.2.5. Whose
- We usually use whose as a relative pronoun to indicate possession by people and animals. In more
formal styles we can also use it for things.
Examples:
John found a cat whose leg was broken.
This is the student whose book I borrowed.
He's marrying a girl whose family don't seem to like him.
2.2.6. Relative pronouns: when, where and why
In informal language, we often use where, when or why to introduce defining relative clauses
instead of at which, on which or for which.
where place
I know a restaurant where the food is excellent, (...a restaurant at which
the food is excellent)
when time
There isn't a day when I don't feel rushed off my feet, (...a day on which
I don't feel rushed ...)
why reason
Do you know the reason why the shop is closed today? (... the reason for
which the shop is closed ...)

PART 3. READING
I. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B, C or D.
Do you often use shampoo or put ketchup on your food? Have you ever visited a sauna? If
you think these words are originally English, you'd better think again. In fact, each of these words
comes from a different language! Shampoo, for example, is actually a word from the Hindi
language in India. This word originally meant "massage". In hair shops in India, barbers massage
your head while washing your hair. Over time, British people in India used this word to mean a
liquid that cleans hair.
Almost everyone knows what ketchup is. People all over the world like to pour this sauce on
French fries or sandwiches. This word is original Chinese (from ketsiap, a fish sauce). In the 1600s,
British and Dutch sailors brought the fish sauce to Europe. Over time, people change the sauce by
adding tomato flavour to it, but the name basically stayed the same.
Sauna, a popular type of public steam room and shower facility, comes from the Finnish
language. During one of the European Olympics, athletes from Britain and Germany saw Finnish
athletes use saunas after training. Later, the general public all over Europe started using this style
of bathing, too. Now, we still use this word to describe all kinds of steam rooms.
English is full of many wonderful borrowed words from many languages. Perhaps English
should change its name to Eng-hin-chi-fre-ger-ital-span-ish!
46. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Usage of words from other languages in English
B. English words in other languages
C. The most popular borrowed words
D. Words from India
47. What did the original word for ketchup mean?
A. A kind of fish B. A kind of fish sauce
C. A hair shop D. A red tomato sauce
48. Which of the following words is from Hindi?
A. shampoo B. ketchup C. sauna D. massage
49. Why does people start to use the word "sauna"?
A. Athletes made it popular at home.
B. The public liked the Olympics
C. The Finnish travelled a lot.
D. It was good after training
50. What does the letters "ital" as used in "Eng-hin-chi-fin-fre-ger-ital-span- ish" probably refer to?
A. The name of a language
B. The name of people who speak English
C. The name of a country
D. The name of a group of people
II. Read the following passage and decide which answer best fits each numbered blank.
When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently come across words you do
not (51) _________ understand. Sometimes you (52) _________ the meaning in a dictionary and
sometimes you guess. The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (53) _________of
accuracy you require and the time at your disposal.
If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is (54) _________
remembering that every dictionary has its limitations. Each definition is only an approximation and
one builds up ar, accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after meeting it in a (55) _________
of contexts. It is also important to recognize the special dangers of dictionaries that translate from
English into your native language and vice versa. If you must use a dictionary, it is usually far safer
to (56) _________ an English-English dictionary.
In most exams, you are not permitted to use a dictionary. (57) _________ you are allowed to
use one, it is very time-consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited. You are,
(58) _________, forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words.
When you come across unknown words in an exam text, it is very easy to panic. However, if
you develop efficient techniques for guessing the meaning, you will (59) _________a number of
possible problems and help yourself to understand far more of the text than you at first thought
likely.
Two strategies which may help you guess the meaning of a word are: using contextual clues,
both within the sentence and outside, and making use of clues (60) _________from the formation
of the word.
51. A. wholly B. fully C. totally D. completely
52. A. inspect B. control C. examine D. check
53. A. extent B. level C. degree D. range

60. A. coming B. derived C. extracted D. originated
III. Read the following text and answer the questions below.
English borrowed words that are used in other languages are called Anglicisms. An Anglicism
is a word, phrase, or idiom characteristic of or peculiar to the English language. Most Anglicisms
were adopted in the IT field or other areas where new technology is developed. Due to the rapidness
with which technology changes, some countries tend to just adopt the English words for new
technology and developments into their native language rather than coining a new native term.
There are also many Anglicisms which have infiltrated the German language, such as
Computer, Scanner, Adapter, Aftershave, Airline, Alien... Some of these terms have no German
equivalent, like Scanner or Adapter. That's because when these things became available in
Germany their English names were simply borrowed into German. But many of these terms have
an actual German equivalent which has been around for years. We can see that the Germans have
not only borrowed newer terms, they also replaced some of the common German words with
English ones. The Germans call these English terms which have entered into their everyday
language Neologisms. Some Neologisms, however, have come to have a completely different
meaning from that of the source language.

People often call English the international language of business, and it is increasingly true as
international trade expands every year, bringing new countries into contact. Many of the best MBA
programs are taught in English, so speaking it well can enable you to get the best training and credentials.
Most multinational companies require a certain degree of English proficiency from potential employees;
so, to get a position in a top company, more and more people are learning English.
If your ambitions lie in science or medicine, you can't neglect English either. Much of the technical
terminology is based on English words, and if you want to learn about the latest developments and
discoveries from around the world, you'll read about them in journals and research reports published in
English, no matter whether the scientists who wrote them are from China or Norway. And, of course, with
good conversational English, youll be able to network and make important contacts at conferences and
seminars.
English also opens doors in the academic world. Of course, if the best program in your field is in an
English-speaking country, English will give you the opportunity to study with the top scholars. Western
universities are attracting more and more visiting scholars, students and professors from all around the
world, and their common working language is English. As well as studying and teaching, attending
international conferences and publishing in foreign journals are some of the key steps to success in
academia. To speak at these conferences or publish in these journals, excellent English is essential.

II. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the: option A, B, C or
D.
The eating habits in the Indian culture are largely based on religion and tradition. A high-
vegetable diet with no beef and generally no pork comes from the Hindu religion. Habits of how
and when food is consumed are also based on social traditions, and most families form their
particular habits around a combination of cultural and family traditions.
Eating habits of the Indian culture are based on culinary traditions. Most dishes feature meat
or vegetables mixed with sauce and rice. Many Indians are vegetarian, so eating habits are often
based on a diet that excludes all meat. When meat is incorporated in dishes, it is most commonly
in the form of chicken, beef or lamb, and sometimes seafood, such as prawns. The majority of the
Indian population is Hindu, so beef and pork are often excluded from Indian dishes due to religious
requirements.
There are three main meals in the Indian culture, so the meal timing is similar to western
cultures. In India, most people eat a morning meal, a midday meal and an evening meal. The
evening meal is generally the biggest meal of the day, followed by the mid-day meal. Any time
curries and rice are not being eaten, breads, fruits and vegetables are consumed.
Cutlery is not traditionally used to eat food in the Indian culture. Food is meant to be a whole
sensory experience, so an eating habit in the traditional Indian culture is to consume Indian foods
such as curry, rice and naan, bread by picking it up using the hands. Bread is often used to scoop
up the curry sauce and rice, and it is dipped into traditional soups such as dal, a lentil-based soup.
Indian people are supposed to eat with their right hands, because eating with the left hand is
sometimes considered to be unclean.

A. They are Hindus B. They are Muslims
C. They are free of religions D. They are vegetarians

53. What is the meal timing of Indian people?
A. Earlier than that of Western Culture
B. The same as Western Culture
C. Later than that of Western Culture
D. They eat whenever they feel hungry

A. They are right-handed B. They like using right hand
C. It is faster to eat with right hand D. Because of sanitary reasons
55. Which of the following items is the definition of the word "scoop" in the last passage?

B. A tool for stirring eggs
C. A large spoon with a deep bowl

VI. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B, C or
D.
People have always gazed up at the stars in wonder. Their imaginations are filled with
possibility as they think carefully how large the universe is and whether or not we are alone in it.
Of all the stars out there, are there intelligent beings on a planet circling one of the stars looking
back at us and wondering the same thing?
It is difficult to comprehend how many stars there are, or even to guess the possibilities of
their being intelligent life. Yet our interest in finding out is so strong that the search has been going
on for over a century. What we consider the modern Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)
began around 1960.
The SETI project is not what many people think it is. A simple explanation is that scientists
study electromagnetic waves that are being emitted throughout the universe. When they are looking
at these waves, they have a good idea of what are considered natural, random patterns the waves
take. Therefore, they are searching for anything that does not appear to be randomly generated. If
they were able to find something non-random, they would believe that an intelligent source of
some kind must be creating it. In other words, intelligent life would have to exist somewhere else
in the universe.
While the SETI project will continue to listen for signals from an intelligent source, other
programmes hope to find any source of life. The Mars rovers will continue to search for dry lake
beds and other areas on the Red Planet that may have once held life. If any life can be found outside
the earth, then we are probably on our way to finding life that could be similar to our own.
1. When did the modem search for intelligent life begin?
A. There is no record of when it began.
B. It has not actually begun yet.
C. I began around 1960.
D. It has been going on since the beginning of time.
2. How long has the search for life in outer space been going on?
A. Since 1960 B. More than a hundred years
C. For a few years D. Not over two decades
3. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?
A. Signals from intelligent sources will most likely be random.
B. The rovers on Mars are looking for signs of life.
C. People have long wondered if we are alone in the universe.
D. Scientists are searching for any form of life that is found elsewhere than the earth.
4. Why are people searching for intelligent life in space?
A. Because it is the reason for people's existence.
B. Because life must exist somewhere else.
C. Because they want to meet aliens.
D. Because they have a strong interest in it.
5. What are the people in the SETI project listening for?
A. Patterns that are not random B. Special time signals
C. Random waves D. Specific voices in the universe

III. Grammar
1. Non- defining relative clauses
- We use non-defining relative clauses to give extra information about the person or thing. It is
not necessary information. We don't need it to understand who or what is being referred to.
- We always use a relative pronoun (who, which, whose or whom) to introduce a non-defining
relative clause (In the examples, the relative clause is in bold). In writing, we use commas around
non-defining relative clauses.
Example:
My car, which is very large, uses too much gasoline. (Sự việc chiếc xe của tôi rất lớn là thông tin
bổ sung và không quan trọng cho phần còn lại của câu)
This is Tom whose brother is my best friend. (Sự việc anh của Tom là bạn thân nhất của tôi là thông
tin bổ sung và không quan trọng cho phần còn lại của câu)
Note:
- Non-defining relative clauses can use most relative pronouns (which, whose etc,) but they
CAN'T use 'that' and the relative pronoun can never be omitted.
Example:
Ms Brown, who(m) you met at our school, is going to get married next month.
David, who(m) everybody suspected, turned out to be innocent.
We stayed at Huong Giang Hotel, which Mary recommended to us.
- The relative pronoun which at the beginning of a non-defining relative clause can refer to all the
information contained in the previous part of the sentence, rather than to just one word..
Example: It rained all night, which was good for the garden. (Which means "the fact that it rained
all night")
2. Future passive
2.1. Changing a sentence into the passive voice
Active sentence S + V + O
Pasive sentence S (O - active) + be + V(pp) + (by + S - active)
To change a sentence from active to passive voice, do the following:
a. Interchange the subject and object.
b. Take the main verb in its past participle form. Do not change the tense of the original sentence,
so add an auxiliary verb.
c. The passive forms of a verb are created by combining a form of the "to be verb" with the past
participle of the main verb.
d. Place the active sentence's subject into a phrase beginning with the preposition by.
2.2. The passive voice of future tenses
Tenses Passive structures
Future simple
I will tell you when the time comes.
will be + V(pp)
You will be told when the time comes.
Future progressive
We will be holding talks at this time
next month.
will be being + V(pp)
Talks will be being held at this time next
month.
Future perfect
They will have finished this report by
Thursday.
will have been + V(pp)
This report will have been finished by
Thursday.
be going to
We are going to buy him a gift.
am/is/are going to be + V(pp)
He is going to be bought a gift.
2.3. Note
- Only transitive verbs (those that take objects) can be transformed into passive constructions.
Furthermore, active sentences containing certain verbs cannot be transformed into passive
structures.
Example: A serious accident happened on a railway bridge on Sunday.
- Subjects such as: I, you. he. she. it, we. they, one, people, some, somebody can be omitted in
passive form
Example:
Someone left this purse in a classroom.
This purse was left in a classroom.
- with is used in place of 'by' to talk about an instrument used by the agent/ subject.
Example:
The room was filled ivith smoke.
This report was written with a fountain pen.
- Adverbs of manner can be used between be and past participle
Example:
My teacher has studied this issue carefully.
This issue has been carefully studied by my teacher.
- Adverbs of places can be used before by + O (agent)
Example:
The police found him in the forest.
He was found in the forest by the police.
- Adverbs of time must be used after by + O (agent)
Example:
Her friend typed the letter this morning.
The letter was typed by her friend this morning.

statements.
Men have played a significant role in American society as the main breadwinner, and
protector of the family. But the traditional role of men has slowly been transferred to women.
Society is changing with women going to college, and gaining jobs. It may even happen in several
years' time when women are given sole earning responsibility in American society as the main
breadwinner of the family. That is due in part to women gained working privileges equal to men in
the 1970s.
Up until the 1970s, men were the traditional family breadwinners, while women stayed at
home, raised the kids, made dinner every night, cleaned the house, and ran all of the errands. Men
went to work every day, making enough money to buy a nice home, buy a new car every so often.
Once women were afforded the opportunity to work in the same jobs men once held, men's
more traditional foothold in the workplace was loosened. Women were given bigger jobs with more
responsibility, but women take jobs with major responsibly with less pay than men.
The role of men in American society is changing with more women going to college, and
obtaining careers; men are playing more untraditional roles at home.
Women are still giving birth to the kids, running errands, cleaning, making dinner. Young
children, boys as well as girls, are being raised with dad at home taking care of the kids.
Millions of families are also raising their young with mom and dad sharing all of the
responsibilities. Today's role of men in American society is more of a shared role, with a more
undefined role.

III. Read the following text and answer the questions below.
It is sometimes very difficult to decide which career to choose when you leave school. British
students are helped by career teachers, who inform them about different careers, the qualifications
needed and try to help them make up their minds. Mr. Hemmings, a career teacher for around five
years and, on the whole, I've found it a rewarding experience. Our students have career lessons
once a week for the fourth and the fifth years (15 and 16 years old). My task consists of explaining
as accurately as possible the qualifications required for each job, as well as the type of work and
personal skills involved. Advising teenagers can be rather difficult - some youngsters have no idea
at all of what they want to do, or of what the real would outside school really is. They come to me
and say ‘I don't like routine nine-to-five jobs... I'd like something exciting that pays well..’ What
can I say? That we're running out of exciting jobs? But they usually end up facing reality and come
down to their senses after a while.
Anyway, here in school we only give them a piece of advice according to what we know
about their favourite and weakest subjects, pastimes and personality. But if you ask me, things are
happening so quickly around here, with our economy in the dumps that sometimes you just don't
know what to say. A few days ago, I asked a fifteen-year-old boy what job he had in mind and he
replied ‘I haven't any plans... You see, Sir, I don't know what new jobs will replace today's’. What
could I say?

PART 3. READING
I. Read the following text and answer the questions below.
Singapore is preparing for its next transition to become a First World global city, vibrant and
endearing as a home. On this journey, Singaporeans have been exhorted to embrace a mindset shift
in many walks of life - above all, in the economy.
They know there is a need to increase productivity, invest in advanced skills training, move
from rote learning and exam obsession towards flexibility, diversity and creativity in education,
shift from value-adding to value-creating activities, take risks and venture out to other countries,
embrace entrepreneurship and innovation, and tolerate failure as a necessary concomitant of these
pursuits.
All these mindset shifts are necessary for Singapore to progress to the next level of
development as a mature, high-income, high-cost, land- and labour-constrained economy subject
to intensifying global competition and technological disruption.
Less attention has been paid, we feel, to the necessary social correlates and underpinnings of
such aspirational economic dynamism. Social values and behaviour commensurate with a First
World society are not just means to becoming a successful First World economy, they are ends in
themselves. They too require major mindset shifts in both public and private domains. If not, the
caring and inclusive society we want as a First World nation will only be incompletely achieved.

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B, C or
D.
Jupiter has at least 63 moons, which are often named after the Roman god's many lovers. The
four largest moons of Jupiter, now called Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, were discovered by
Galileo Galilei himself, and are appropriately known today as the Galilean satellites.
Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system, larger even than Mercury and Pluto. It is
also the only moon known to have its own magnetic field. The moon has at least one thick ocean
between layers of ice, although it may contain several layers of both materials.
Io is the most volcanically active body in our solar system. The sulphur its volcanoes spew
out gives Io a blotted yellow-orange appearance that is often compared to a pepperoni pizza. As Io
orbits Jupiter, the planet's immense gravity causes 'tides' in Io's solid surface that rise 300 feet (100
meters) high, generating enough heat for volcanic activity.
The frozen crust of Europa is made up mostly of water ice, and it may hide a liquid ocean
holding twice as much water as Earth does. Icy oceans may also exist beneath the crusts of Callisto
and Ganymede. Some of these liquid spouts from the surface in newly spotted sporadic plumes at
the southern pole. Its potential to host life caused NASA to request funding for a mission to explore
Europa.
Callisto has the lowest reflectivity, or albedo, of the four Galilean moons. This suggests that
its surface may be composed of dark, colourless rock.
61. How are moons of Jupiter often named?
A. They are always named by person who discovered them
B. They are often named after the Roman god's many lovers
C. They are usually named by Galileo Galilei
D. They have no names
62. What makes Ganymede a special moon?
A. It has a lot of ice
B. It has the same size as Pluto
C. It is heavy
D. It is the only moon to have magnetic field
63. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Io?
A. It is a moon of Ganymede
B. it is the most volcanically active body
C. It orbits Jupiter
D. "Tides" in its solid surface rise 300 feet high
64. Which of the following statement is TRUE about Europa?
A. It has a blotted yellow-orange appearance
B. It has lots of volcanoes
C. It has enough heat for volcanic activity
D. It is made of water ice

A. Names of moons B. What is available on the moons

II. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B, C or D.
From the earliest times in ancient Mesopotamia, women who came from a sector of society
that could afford to have statues made, placed their likenesses in temple shrines. This was done so
that their images would stand in constant prayer while they continued to go about their daily chores.
This female worshipper statue wears a standard fashion of the time, a simple draped dress with her
right shoulder bare and hair done up in elaborate braided coils.
The Mesopotamian woman's role was strictly defined. She was the daughter of her father or
the wife of her husband. Women rarely acted as individuals outside the context of their families.
Those who did so were usually royalty or the wives of men who had power and status.
Most girls were trained from childhood for the traditional roles of wife, mother, and
housekeeper. They learned how to grind grain, how to cook and make beverages, especially beer,
and how to spin and weave cloth for clothing. If a woman worked outside of her home, her job
usually grew out of her household tasks. She might sell the beer she brewed, or even become a
tavern keeper. Childbearing and childcare roles led women to become midwives and also to create
medicines that prevented pregnancy or produced abortions.
Soon after puberty, a young girl was considered ready for marriage. The families of the future
bride and groom arranged marriages. Ceremonies have been described where the future husband
poured perfume on the head of the bride. He also gave her family money and other presents. Once
a woman was engaged, she was considered part of her fiance's family. If her husband-to-be died
before the wedding, she was then married to one of his brothers or another male relative.
51. Why did women the earliest times in ancient Mesopotamia have their statues made and placed
in temple shrines?
A. To be blessed by the God
B. To stand in prayer all the time
C. To do chores better
C. To have better image in husbands' eyes
52. What was the Mesopotamian woman's role?
A. Defining everything strictly
B. Acting as individuals outside the family
C. Being a daughter a wife in the family
D. Having power and status
53. According to the third passage, what do a woman NOT do outside her home?
A. Selling beer B. Becoming a tavern keeper
C. Making clothing D. Creating medicines
54. What does the word "puberty" in the last passage mean?
A. The period of during which sexual organs develop and people become capable of having
children
B. A very young child or animal
C. A person's male child
D. A person who is between 13 and 19 years old
55. What is the main contents of the passage?

Some: Một ít, một vài - Some is often used in affirmative sentences before countable nouns in plural forms or uncountable nouns. Examples: I want some milk. I need some eggs. - Sometimes some is used in interrogative sentences when expecting the answer is Yes, or is used in sentences for requesting, inviting and offering Examples: Did you buy some oranges? Would you like some more coffee? May I go out for some drink?
  • 8. 1.2. Any: Một ít, một vài - Any is often used before countable nouns in plural form or uncountable nouns in negative or interrogative sentences. Examples: Do you want any sugar?

Examples: I'm free all day. Come and see me any time you like. He's lazy. He never does any work If there are any letters for me, can you send them on to this address? If you need any more money, please let me know. Notes: - We can use some and any without any nouns when those nouns are identified. Examples: Tim wanted some milk, but he couldn't find any. (Or) If you have no stamps, I will give you some. - Pronouns like something, anything, someone, anyone, somebody, anybody, somewhere, anywhere... can be used in a similar way with some and any. Examples: I don't see anything on the table. (Or) Is there anybody in your house now? (Or) I want to do something to help you. 2. A cup of tea, a loaf of bread - Tea and bread are uncountable nouns, so we cannot use article ‘a’ or numbers before them, but we can say a cup of tea và a loaf of bread.
  • 9. - Some other examples of expression of uncountable nouns: a carton of apple juice, a tin of paint, a bottle of milk, a box of cereal, a tube of toothpaste, a glass of coffee, a piece of wood, a slice of bread, a sheet of paper, half a pound of butter, two littres of petrol, a bar of chocolate... - This way of expression can also be used for plural nouns after of: a box of matches, two kilos of tomatoes, a collection of stamps 3.

A cacao tree is about seven meters high and is covered with large leaves. Up to 6,000 small pink or white flowers appear on a tree every year. Only a few of these flowers produce a pod. Each pod is about 15 to 20 centimetres long and contains from 20 to 50 beans. A tree produces only about 20 to 40 pods a year. People gather these pods, break them open with large knives, take out the beans, and dry them. After a few days, the beans are cleaned, roasted, and ground into tiny pieces. The natural fat in the beans becomes a liquid. Chocolate is made from this liquid. Today the largest suppliers of chocolate are Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Brazil. Ghana got its first cacao tree from Fernando Po, a Spanish colony off the coast of Africa. A Ghanaian who was working on Fernando Po in 1879 took a cacao pod home and planted it. It grew into a tree. Other people slowly started growing cacao trees. Before this, there were wars in the region for decades. When people started growing cacao trees, they stopped fighting. In this way, chocolate brought peace to the Africans there.

VI. Read the following text and answer the questions below. Isn't it amazing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten ...?” “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And when you travel from one country to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink large amount of beer and the French drink wine every day. The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy raw fish. So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits. 1.

Read the following text and answer the questions below. Indians in North and South America ate popcorn thousands of years ago. Scientists found some ears of popcorn in New Mexico, a state in the United States. They were 5,600 years old. Farmers probably learned to raise popcorn first before they planted other kinds of com. Farmers now raise popcorn in the United States, Australia, Argentina, South Africa, and southern Europe. Corn was an important food for the Indians. It was also important for their religion. When Columbus and other Europeans visited the New World, they saw this. When the Indians and Europeans had their first Thanksgiving, they ate popcorn. Today Thanksgiving is an important holiday in the United States but people don't usually eat popcorn for this holiday now. Many Europeans and Indians fought wars with each other. When a war finished, the Indians brought popcorn as a sign of peace. In the 1920s, people started selling popcorn at movies. Now most movie theatres in the United States sell popcorn. Popcorn and movies go together very well. During the Second World War, American soldiers in the army taught Europeans to eat popcorn. Is popcorn good for you? Yes, it is. However, some people put a lot of salt and butter or vegetable oil on it. It tastes good that way, but it is not very good for you. 61.

S +would (could, might) + V (infinitive) + if +S +V (past simple). * Inversion: Were + S + (to V), S + would (could, might...) + V (infinitive) Note: We can use ‘were’ instead of ‘was’ with ‘I’ and ‘he/she/it’. This is mostly done in formal writing. Example Explanation If I were you, I would drive more carefully in the rain. I am not you - this is unreal. Paula would be sad if Jan left. Jan will not leave - that's not going to happen. If dogs had wings, they would be able to fly. Dogs don't have wings - that's impossible. 2. Relative clauses 1.1. Definition A relative clause is a clause that usually modifies a noun or noun phrase and is introduced by a relative pronoun (which, that, who, whom, whose), a relative adverb (where, when, why). It is also known as an adjective clause. 2.2. Relative pronouns / adverbs person thing place time reason subject who/that which/ that object who/whom/that which/that adverb where when why (for which)
  • 38. possession whose whose (of which) 2.2.1. Who - We use who in relative clauses to refer to people, and sometimes to pet animals. Examples: I need to meet the boy who is my friend's son. That's the dog who doesn't like me. We don't know the person who donated this money 2.2.2. Whom - We use whom in formal styles or in writing to refer to people when the person is the object of the verb. Whom can be used with prepositions in formal writing. Examples: I know the girl whom I spoke to. The girl whom you saw at the concert is John's sister. She smiled as she remembered the quiet scholar with whom she had shared a love of books. 2.2.3. Which - We use which in relative clauses to refer to animals and to things. Examples: She works for a company which makes cars. The accident which Daniel saw wasn't very serious. You need to tick the box which says yes. - We always use which to introduce relative clauses when they refer to a whole sentence or clause: Examples: He passed his exam, which pleased his parents. She had to get up and walk all the way to the other side of the room, which isn't easy with a bad back. Notes: Which + prepositions - We can use which as the complement of a preposition: Early in the Autumn Term there is a reception at which you can meet current staff and students. Close by, in the churchyard, is the famous Rudston stone, from which the village takes its name. John found a cat, the leg of which was broken. 2.2.4. That
  • 39. - We use that instead of who, whom or which in relative clauses to refer to people, animals and things. We use it to introduce defining clauses only. Examples: I need to meet the boy that! who is my friend's son. I know the girl that/ who/ whom I spoke to. She works for a company that/ which makes cars. * We can use That: - after: something, anyone, nobody...or “all, much, none, little...” I'll tell you something that is very interesting. - after superlatives or ordinal numbers: only, first, last, second, next... This is the most beautiful dress that I've ever had. * We can't use That: - in non-defining relative clauses. Mr Brown, that we studied English with, is a very nice teacher (wrong). - after prepositions. The house in that I was horn is for sale. (wrong) * We must use That: - after phrases indicating both people and things. He told me the places and people that he had seen in London. 2.2.5. Whose - We usually use whose as a relative pronoun to indicate possession by people and animals. In more formal styles we can also use it for things. Examples: John found a cat whose leg was broken. This is the student whose book I borrowed. He's marrying a girl whose family don't seem to like him. 2.2.6. Relative pronouns: when, where and why In informal language, we often use where, when or why to introduce defining relative clauses instead of at which, on which or for which. where place I know a restaurant where the food is excellent, (...a restaurant at which the food is excellent) when time There isn't a day when I don't feel rushed off my feet, (...a day on which I don't feel rushed ...)

Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B, C or D. Do you often use shampoo or put ketchup on your food? Have you ever visited a sauna? If you think these words are originally English, you'd better think again. In fact, each of these words comes from a different language! Shampoo, for example, is actually a word from the Hindi language in India. This word originally meant "massage". In hair shops in India, barbers massage your head while washing your hair. Over time, British people in India used this word to mean a liquid that cleans hair. Almost everyone knows what ketchup is. People all over the world like to pour this sauce on French fries or sandwiches. This word is original Chinese (from ketsiap, a fish sauce). In the 1600s, British and Dutch sailors brought the fish sauce to Europe. Over time, people change the sauce by adding tomato flavour to it, but the name basically stayed the same. Sauna, a popular type of public steam room and shower facility, comes from the Finnish language. During one of the European Olympics, athletes from Britain and Germany saw Finnish athletes use saunas after training. Later, the general public all over Europe started using this style of bathing, too. Now, we still use this word to describe all kinds of steam rooms. English is full of many wonderful borrowed words from many languages. Perhaps English should change its name to Eng-hin-chi-fre-ger-ital-span-ish! 46. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Usage of words from other languages in English B. English words in other languages C. The most popular borrowed words D. Words from India 47. What did the original word for ketchup mean? A. A kind of fish B. A kind of fish sauce C. A hair shop D. A red tomato sauce 48. Which of the following words is from Hindi? A. shampoo B. ketchup C. sauna D. massage 49. Why does people start to use the word "sauna"? A. Athletes made it popular at home. B. The public liked the Olympics C. The Finnish travelled a lot.
  • 46. D. It was good after training 50. What does the letters "ital" as used in "Eng-hin-chi-fin-fre-ger-ital-span- ish" probably refer to? A. The name of a language B. The name of people who speak English C. The name of a country D. The name of a group of people II. Read the following passage and decide which answer best fits each numbered blank. When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently come across words you do not (51) _________ understand. Sometimes you (52) _________ the meaning in a dictionary and sometimes you guess. The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (53) _________of accuracy you require and the time at your disposal. If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is (54) _________ remembering that every dictionary has its limitations. Each definition is only an approximation and one builds up ar, accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after meeting it in a (55) _________ of contexts. It is also important to recognize the special dangers of dictionaries that translate from English into your native language and vice versa. If you must use a dictionary, it is usually far safer to (56) _________ an English-English dictionary. In most exams, you are not permitted to use a dictionary. (57) _________ you are allowed to use one, it is very time-consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited. You are, (58) _________, forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words. When you come across unknown words in an exam text, it is very easy to panic.

Read the following text and answer the questions below. English borrowed words that are used in other languages are called Anglicisms. An Anglicism is a word, phrase, or idiom characteristic of or peculiar to the English language. Most Anglicisms were adopted in the IT field or other areas where new technology is developed. Due to the rapidness with which technology changes, some countries tend to just adopt the English words for new technology and developments into their native language rather than coining a new native term. There are also many Anglicisms which have infiltrated the German language, such as Computer, Scanner, Adapter, Aftershave, Airline, Alien... Some of these terms have no German equivalent, like Scanner or Adapter. That's because when these things became available in Germany their English names were simply borrowed into German. But many of these terms have an actual German equivalent which has been around for years. We can see that the Germans have not only borrowed newer terms, they also replaced some of the common German words with English ones. The Germans call these English terms which have entered into their everyday language Neologisms. Some Neologisms, however, have come to have a completely different meaning from that of the source language. 61 .What are English borrowed words that are used in other languages called? __________________________________________________________________________ 62.

People often call English the international language of business, and it is increasingly true as international trade expands every year, bringing new countries into contact. Many of the best MBA programs are taught in English, so speaking it well can enable you to get the best training and credentials. Most multinational companies require a certain degree of English proficiency from potential employees; so, to get a position in a top company, more and more people are learning English. If your ambitions lie in science or medicine, you can't neglect English either. Much of the technical terminology is based on English words, and if you want to learn about the latest developments and discoveries from around the world, you'll read about them in journals and research reports published in English, no matter whether the scientists who wrote them are from China or Norway. And, of course, with good conversational English, youll be able to network and make important contacts at conferences and seminars. English also opens doors in the academic world. Of course, if the best program in your field is in an English-speaking country, English will give you the opportunity to study with the top scholars. Western universities are attracting more and more visiting scholars, students and professors from all around the world, and their common working language is English. As well as studying and teaching, attending international conferences and publishing in foreign journals are some of the key steps to success in academia. To speak at these conferences or publish in these journals, excellent English is essential. 56.

II. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the: option A, B, C or D. The eating habits in the Indian culture are largely based on religion and tradition. A high- vegetable diet with no beef and generally no pork comes from the Hindu religion. Habits of how and when food is consumed are also based on social traditions, and most families form their particular habits around a combination of cultural and family traditions. Eating habits of the Indian culture are based on culinary traditions. Most dishes feature meat or vegetables mixed with sauce and rice. Many Indians are vegetarian, so eating habits are often based on a diet that excludes all meat. When meat is incorporated in dishes, it is most commonly in the form of chicken, beef or lamb, and sometimes seafood, such as prawns. The majority of the Indian population is Hindu, so beef and pork are often excluded from Indian dishes due to religious requirements. There are three main meals in the Indian culture, so the meal timing is similar to western cultures. In India, most people eat a morning meal, a midday meal and an evening meal. The
  • 58. evening meal is generally the biggest meal of the day, followed by the mid-day meal. Any time curries and rice are not being eaten, breads, fruits and vegetables are consumed. Cutlery is not traditionally used to eat food in the Indian culture. Food is meant to be a whole sensory experience, so an eating habit in the traditional Indian culture is to consume Indian foods such as curry, rice and naan, bread by picking it up using the hands. Bread is often used to scoop up the curry sauce and rice, and it is dipped into traditional soups such as dal, a lentil-based soup. Indian people are supposed to eat with their right hands, because eating with the left hand is sometimes considered to be unclean. 51. Why do many Indians avoid eating meat? A. They are Hindus B. They are Muslims C. They are free of religions D. They are vegetarians 52. Why do many Indian avoid eating beef and pork? A. They are Hindus B. They are Muslims C. They are free of religions D.

Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B, C or D. People have always gazed up at the stars in wonder. Their imaginations are filled with possibility as they think carefully how large the universe is and whether or not we are alone in it. Of all the stars out there, are there intelligent beings on a planet circling one of the stars looking back at us and wondering the same thing? It is difficult to comprehend how many stars there are, or even to guess the possibilities of their being intelligent life. Yet our interest in finding out is so strong that the search has been going on for over a century. What we consider the modern Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) began around 1960. The SETI project is not what many people think it is. A simple explanation is that scientists study electromagnetic waves that are being emitted throughout the universe. When they are looking at these waves, they have a good idea of what are considered natural, random patterns the waves take. Therefore, they are searching for anything that does not appear to be randomly generated. If they were able to find something non-random, they would believe that an intelligent source of some kind must be creating it. In other words, intelligent life would have to exist somewhere else in the universe. While the SETI project will continue to listen for signals from an intelligent source, other programmes hope to find any source of life. The Mars rovers will continue to search for dry lake beds and other areas on the Red Planet that may have once held life. If any life can be found outside the earth, then we are probably on our way to finding life that could be similar to our own. 1. When did the modem search for intelligent life begin? A. There is no record of when it began. B. It has not actually begun yet. C. I began around 1960. D. It has been going on since the beginning of time. 2. How long has the search for life in outer space been going on? A. Since 1960 B. More than a hundred years C. For a few years D. Not over two decades 3. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?
  • 68. A. Signals from intelligent sources will most likely be random. B. The rovers on Mars are looking for signs of life. C. People have long wondered if we are alone in the universe. D. Scientists are searching for any form of life that is found elsewhere than the earth. 4. Why are people searching for intelligent life in space? A. Because it is the reason for people's existence. B. Because life must exist somewhere else. C. Because they want to meet aliens. D. Because they have a strong interest in it. 5. What are the people in the SETI project listening for? A. Patterns that are not random B. Special time signals C. Random waves D. Specific voices in the universe VII. Use relative clauses to combine the following pairs of sentences. 1.

  • 77. III. Grammar 1. Non- defining relative clauses - We use non-defining relative clauses to give extra information about the person or thing. It is not necessary information. We don't need it to understand who or what is being referred to. - We always use a relative pronoun (who, which, whose or whom) to introduce a non-defining relative clause (In the examples, the relative clause is in bold). In writing, we use commas around non-defining relative clauses. Example: My car, which is very large, uses too much gasoline. (Sự việc chiếc xe của tôi rất lớn là thông tin bổ sung và không quan trọng cho phần còn lại của câu) This is Tom whose brother is my best friend. (Sự việc anh của Tom là bạn thân nhất của tôi là thông tin bổ sung và không quan trọng cho phần còn lại của câu) Note: - Non-defining relative clauses can use most relative pronouns (which, whose etc,) but they CAN'T use 'that' and the relative pronoun can never be omitted. Example: Ms Brown, who(m) you met at our school, is going to get married next month. David, who(m) everybody suspected, turned out to be innocent. We stayed at Huong Giang Hotel, which Mary recommended to us. - The relative pronoun which at the beginning of a non-defining relative clause can refer to all the information contained in the previous part of the sentence, rather than to just one word.. Example: It rained all night, which was good for the garden. (Which means "the fact that it rained all night") 2. Future passive 2.1. Changing a sentence into the passive voice Active sentence S + V + O Pasive sentence S (O - active) + be + V(pp) + (by + S - active) To change a sentence from active to passive voice, do the following: a. Interchange the subject and object. b. Take the main verb in its past participle form. Do not change the tense of the original sentence, so add an auxiliary verb. c. The passive forms of a verb are created by combining a form of the "to be verb" with the past participle of the main verb.
  • 78. d. Place the active sentence's subject into a phrase beginning with the preposition by. 2.2. The passive voice of future tenses Tenses Passive structures Future simple I will tell you when the time comes. will be + V(pp) You will be told when the time comes. Future progressive We will be holding talks at this time next month. will be being + V(pp) Talks will be being held at this time next month. Future perfect They will have finished this report by Thursday. will have been + V(pp) This report will have been finished by Thursday. be going to We are going to buy him a gift. am/is/are going to be + V(pp) He is going to be bought a gift. 2.3. Note - Only transitive verbs (those that take objects) can be transformed into passive constructions. Furthermore, active sentences containing certain verbs cannot be transformed into passive structures. Example: A serious accident happened on a railway bridge on Sunday. - Subjects such as: I, you. he. she. it, we. they, one, people, some, somebody can be omitted in passive form Example: Someone left this purse in a classroom. This purse was left in a classroom. - with is used in place of 'by' to talk about an instrument used by the agent/ subject. Example: The room was filled ivith smoke. This report was written with a fountain pen. - Adverbs of manner can be used between be and past participle Example: My teacher has studied this issue carefully. This issue has been carefully studied by my teacher.
  • 79. - Adverbs of places can be used before by + O (agent) Example: The police found him in the forest. He was found in the forest by the police. - Adverbs of time must be used after by + O (agent) Example: Her friend typed the letter this morning. The letter was typed by her friend this morning. B.

Read the following passage and choose the option A, B, C or D to complete the following statements. Men have played a significant role in American society as the main breadwinner, and protector of the family. But the traditional role of men has slowly been transferred to women. Society is changing with women going to college, and gaining jobs. It may even happen in several years' time when women are given sole earning responsibility in American society as the main breadwinner of the family. That is due in part to women gained working privileges equal to men in the 1970s. Up until the 1970s, men were the traditional family breadwinners, while women stayed at home, raised the kids, made dinner every night, cleaned the house, and ran all of the errands. Men went to work every day, making enough money to buy a nice home, buy a new car every so often. Once women were afforded the opportunity to work in the same jobs men once held, men's more traditional foothold in the workplace was loosened. Women were given bigger jobs with more responsibility, but women take jobs with major responsibly with less pay than men. The role of men in American society is changing with more women going to college, and obtaining careers; men are playing more untraditional roles at home. Women are still giving birth to the kids, running errands, cleaning, making dinner. Young children, boys as well as girls, are being raised with dad at home taking care of the kids. Millions of families are also raising their young with mom and dad sharing all of the responsibilities. Today's role of men in American society is more of a shared role, with a more undefined role. 1. The shared role of men nowadays is _________. A. going to work, and doing housework B. sharing responsibilities with women at work C. the same as their traditional role D. cleaning the house, and raising the kids 2.

British students are helped by career teachers, who inform them about different careers, the qualifications needed and try to help them make up their minds. Mr. Hemmings, a career teacher for around five years and, on the whole, I've found it a rewarding experience. Our students have career lessons once a week for the fourth and the fifth years (15 and 16 years old). My task consists of explaining as accurately as possible the qualifications required for each job, as well as the type of work and personal skills involved. Advising teenagers can be rather difficult - some youngsters have no idea at all of what they want to do, or of what the real would outside school really is. They come to me and say ‘I don't like routine nine-to-five jobs... I'd like something exciting that pays well..’ What
  • 104. can I say? That we're running out of exciting jobs? But they usually end up facing reality and come down to their senses after a while. Anyway, here in school we only give them a piece of advice according to what we know about their favourite and weakest subjects, pastimes and personality. But if you ask me, things are happening so quickly around here, with our economy in the dumps that sometimes you just don't know what to say. A few days ago, I asked a fifteen-year-old boy what job he had in mind and he replied ‘I haven't any plans... You see, Sir, I don't know what new jobs will replace today's’. What could I say? 61.

Read the following text and answer the questions below. Singapore is preparing for its next transition to become a First World global city, vibrant and endearing as a home. On this journey, Singaporeans have been exhorted to embrace a mindset shift in many walks of life - above all, in the economy. They know there is a need to increase productivity, invest in advanced skills training, move from rote learning and exam obsession towards flexibility, diversity and creativity in education, shift from value-adding to value-creating activities, take risks and venture out to other countries, embrace entrepreneurship and innovation, and tolerate failure as a necessary concomitant of these pursuits. All these mindset shifts are necessary for Singapore to progress to the next level of development as a mature, high-income, high-cost, land- and labour-constrained economy subject to intensifying global competition and technological disruption. Less attention has been paid, we feel, to the necessary social correlates and underpinnings of such aspirational economic dynamism. Social values and behaviour commensurate with a First World society are not just means to becoming a successful First World economy, they are ends in themselves. They too require major mindset shifts in both public and private domains. If not, the caring and inclusive society we want as a First World nation will only be incompletely achieved. 46.

Jupiter has at least 63 moons, which are often named after the Roman god's many lovers. The four largest moons of Jupiter, now called Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, were discovered by Galileo Galilei himself, and are appropriately known today as the Galilean satellites. Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system, larger even than Mercury and Pluto. It is also the only moon known to have its own magnetic field. The moon has at least one thick ocean between layers of ice, although it may contain several layers of both materials. Io is the most volcanically active body in our solar system. The sulphur its volcanoes spew out gives Io a blotted yellow-orange appearance that is often compared to a pepperoni pizza. As Io
  • 110. orbits Jupiter, the planet's immense gravity causes 'tides' in Io's solid surface that rise 300 feet (100 meters) high, generating enough heat for volcanic activity. The frozen crust of Europa is made up mostly of water ice, and it may hide a liquid ocean holding twice as much water as Earth does. Icy oceans may also exist beneath the crusts of Callisto and Ganymede. Some of these liquid spouts from the surface in newly spotted sporadic plumes at the southern pole. Its potential to host life caused NASA to request funding for a mission to explore Europa. Callisto has the lowest reflectivity, or albedo, of the four Galilean moons. This suggests that its surface may be composed of dark, colourless rock. 61. How are moons of Jupiter often named? A. They are always named by person who discovered them B. They are often named after the Roman god's many lovers C. They are usually named by Galileo Galilei D. They have no names 62. What makes Ganymede a special moon? A. It has a lot of ice B. It has the same size as Pluto C. It is heavy D. It is the only moon to have magnetic field 63. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Io? A. It is a moon of Ganymede B. it is the most volcanically active body C. It orbits Jupiter D. "Tides" in its solid surface rise 300 feet high 64. Which of the following statement is TRUE about Europa? A. It has a blotted yellow-orange appearance B. It has lots of volcanoes C. It has enough heat for volcanic activity D. It is made of water ice 65. What is possibly the title of this passage? A.

  • 115. From the earliest times in ancient Mesopotamia, women who came from a sector of society that could afford to have statues made, placed their likenesses in temple shrines. This was done so that their images would stand in constant prayer while they continued to go about their daily chores. This female worshipper statue wears a standard fashion of the time, a simple draped dress with her right shoulder bare and hair done up in elaborate braided coils. The Mesopotamian woman's role was strictly defined. She was the daughter of her father or the wife of her husband. Women rarely acted as individuals outside the context of their families. Those who did so were usually royalty or the wives of men who had power and status. Most girls were trained from childhood for the traditional roles of wife, mother, and housekeeper. They learned how to grind grain, how to cook and make beverages, especially beer, and how to spin and weave cloth for clothing. If a woman worked outside of her home, her job usually grew out of her household tasks. She might sell the beer she brewed, or even become a tavern keeper. Childbearing and childcare roles led women to become midwives and also to create medicines that prevented pregnancy or produced abortions. Soon after puberty, a young girl was considered ready for marriage. The families of the future bride and groom arranged marriages. Ceremonies have been described where the future husband poured perfume on the head of the bride. He also gave her family money and other presents. Once a woman was engaged, she was considered part of her fiance's family. If her husband-to-be died before the wedding, she was then married to one of his brothers or another male relative. 51. Why did women the earliest times in ancient Mesopotamia have their statues made and placed in temple shrines? A. To be blessed by the God B. To stand in prayer all the time C. To do chores better C. To have better image in husbands' eyes 52. What was the Mesopotamian woman's role? A. Defining everything strictly B. Acting as individuals outside the family C.
