    Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
    HOW WE LEARN A LANGUAGE

    The first language you learn to speak is called your native language. As a baby, you listened to your parents or other people speaking and then imitated the sounds you heard. Babies seem to be born with an ability to learn the language they hear.
    Native speakers learn as children to use the right words and arrange them in the right order without even thinking about it. If English is your native language, you know automatically that “I going bed” is wrong, but “I am going to bed” is right.
    If you learn a second language, you have to memorize its words and learn its rules. That’s why learning a second language can be difficult.Young children can learn a new language very easily. If they are surrounded by people speaking a different language, they soon learn to speak it as well as their native language.
    But as people grow older, it becomes more difficult to learn new languages. People gradually lose the ability to learn the grammar and pronounce the sounds of another language. People who learn a new language as adults usually have a “foreign accent” when they speak it.

    What life will be like in 2116

    A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years from now. It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than today's buildings, underwater 'bubble' cities, and holidays in space. The report is from Samsung's SmartThings. It asked experts on space, architecture, and city planners to give their ideas on life in 2116. They said the way we live, work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today. The experts said that 25 years ago, people could not imagine how the Internet and smartphones would change our lives. The Internet has revolutionised the way we communicate, learn and do daily things. The experts said the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable.
    Researchers questioned 2,000 adults about the predictions they thought were most likely to happen in the future. They predicted that in the future, few people will go to an office but will work from home and have virtual work meetings. People will have advanced 3D printers that will let you download a design for furniture or a food recipe and then 'print' the sofa, table or pizza at home. There will also be less need for visits to the doctor. We will all have a home health capsule that will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment. We will also be going into space for holidays and to get resources that we have used up on Earth. A prediction that was missing was whether people would still need to study English.

    Question 20. The word “revolutionised” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________.
    A. developed rapidly
    B. explored
    C. devised
    D. changed completely
    Question 21. What does the last sentence of paragraph 1 mean?
    A. The experts did not believe that there would be any more changes in the next century.
    B. The experts were certain that people would not believe in the changes in the next century.
    C. It was believed that more and more changes would be seen in the next century.
    D. It was predicted that the changes in the next century would be beyond people's imagination.
    Question 22. What MIGHT you do with an advanced 3D printer?
    A. download a recipe for pizza
    B. design a sofa for your living room
    C. order food from famous restaurants
    D. teach you how to cook a pizza
    Question 23. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

    Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
    Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It’s a special, dark place completely different from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don't know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground. Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "lungs of our planet" because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests, it's surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.
    Question 36: What is the passage mainly about?
    A. Where rainforest are located.
    B. Kinds of forests.

    D. How much oxygen rainforests make.

    A. It uses much of the world’s oxygen.
    B. It helps circulation
    C. It provides much of our air.
    D. It helps us breathe.

    Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
    1. Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree or diploma course could find a good career quite easily. Companies toured the academic institutions, competing with each other to recruit graduates. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.
    2. Most careers organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available vacancies and presenting them well to prospective employers.
    3. Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative or scientific skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thought.
    4. The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. To do this, graduates can study job vacancies and information in newspapers or they can visit a careers office, write to possible employers for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.
    5. Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors. Where additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, with examples if possible. They should try to balance their own abilities with the employer's needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities.
    6. When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.
    7. There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job is to be one of them.
    Question 43: In paragraph 1, 'those days are gone, even in Hong Kong', suggests that ______________.
    A. nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good career. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere.
    B. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere.it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries.
    C. it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries.
    D. even in Hong Kong companies tour the universities trying to recruit graduates.
    Question 44: In the paragraph 2, “them” refers to ______.
    A. abilities.
    B. available vacancies.
    C. three stages
    D. careers organizations.
    Question 45: According to paragraph 4, graduates should ________________.
    A. get information about a number of careers before making comparisons
    B. find a good position and then compare it with other careers.
    C. ask friends or relatives to secure them a good job.
    D. find out as much as possible and inform employers of the comparisons they want.
    Question 46: In paragraph 5, 'in more depth' could best be replaced by ______________.
    A. more honestly
    B. in greater detail
    C. more carefully
    D. using more words
    Question 47: The word “prospective” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
    A. ambitious B. generous
    C. reasonable D. future
    Question 48: In paragraph 6, the writer seems to suggest that ______________.
    A. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understand.
    B. interviewees should ask a question if they can't think of an answer.
    C. it is not a good idea for interviewees to be completely honest in their answers.
    D. pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answer.
    Question 49: Which of the following sentences is closest in meaning to the paragraph 7?
    A. Graduates should develop at least one of these areas to find a suitable career.
    B. People with the right qualities should always be able to find a good career.
    C. The secret of a successful interview is that interviewers have to possess skills, determination or ability.
    D. Determined, skilled and able people can easily find a good career.
    Question 50: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes.
    If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same roots. In the case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding from both spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's excitements and frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house when you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation with you. You do not know her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books. She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody can understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you.
    Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her. The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with great impression. Let her understand you better through the things that you like. Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.

    As a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the USA and Canada, is now without any living things. Pollutions in water are not simply a matter of “poisons” killing large numbers of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms to be affected are either plants or plankton. But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds die in this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river’s edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening. Where do the substances which pollute the water come from? There are two main sources – sewage and industrial waste. As more detergent is used in the home, so more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas.
    Detergents harm water birds dissolving the natural substance which keep their feather waterproof. Sewage itself, if it is not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful since there are many high poisonous things in it, such as copper and lead. So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple, sewage and industrial waste must be made clean before flowing into the water. It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.
    Câu 41: According to the passage, the way to stop water pollution is.
    A. to make the waste material harmless
    B. to realize the serious situation clearly
    C. to make special room in the sea for our rubbish

    Câu 42: Which of the following is harmful according to the passage?

    A. when the first organisms is affected
    B. as soon as the balance of nature is destroyed
    C. when poisons are poured into water

    Câu 44: The living things die because there is noin the lake or river.

    How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material online while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US.
    For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as hazard and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions, the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated. “Kids have to be online. If we tell our kids they can’t be allowed to surf the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert. Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way would be to use what is known as a “content screener”. But this can’t be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet. A few other tips as follows:
    - Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
    - Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make online.
    - Tell your child not to give online strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
    - And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.
    Câu 46: Which of the following is right according to the passage?
    A. Children’s not having access to Internet may have effect on their progress.
    B. Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them.
    C. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having access to Internet.
    D. Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children.
    Câu 47: The passage is mainly about the subject of.
    A. Internet in America
    B. appreciating Internet
    C. opposing children’s on-line
    D. American children going on-line
    Câu 48: According to the passage, we can infer that.
    A. Internet is a jungle full of danger
    B. a child who is on-line is in danger
    C. Internet contains a lot of harmful sites
    D. soft wares fit for children want programming
    Câu 49: The best way to protect children from improper material is.
    A. to buy some search engines for the children
    B. to talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong
    C. to be nearby when they are surfing the Internet
    D. to install a content screener on the computer
    Câu 50: The word “hazard” in the passage means
    A. peril B. loss
    C. luck D. instruction

    A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people ages between 18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70%. This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not.
    When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work outside the home were satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work – if their husbands did remainder. Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant.
    After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man's share increases much less than the woman's. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling. Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing up and childcare. Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties. In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up. Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage.
    In cases where men perform most of the housework, results were similar. The men also became depressed by the imbalance of labor. The research showed that the least distressed people are those who have equal share, implying that men could perform significantly more chores and even benefit from this. The research concludes "Everybody benefits from sharing the housework. Even for women keeping house, a share division of labor is important. If you decide to stay at home to raise the children, you don't want to become the servant of the house".

    READING COMPREHENSION
    We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
    Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
    In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with the personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers.
    Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes the work on individual tasks and assignments, they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

    A. learning ability and communicative skills

    Read the following passage and choose the best answers A, B, C, or D.
    Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country. However, this is not necessarily true. Often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the more we realize how little we actually know about the culture of that country.
    Books and talks about other people’s culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural differences and exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information they contain is untrue.
    In a study recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was typical of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare, the Queen, villages inns, English folk dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper. Although all of these characters can be found in British culture, they do not show the real interests of ordinary British people: (They are, in fact, simply stereotype - that is, general character which people wrongly think are typical.) What is surprising is that they were suggested by British people themselves as representing their culture. If people have such a wrong impression of their own culture, how much false would their impression of other culture be!
    Question 14: Which of the following is true?
    A. The culture of a foreign country cannot be learned by reading books.
    B. Visitors to a country are soon assimilated into its culture.
    C. It’s easy to assimilate the culture of a foreign country.
    D. British people understand their own culture more than other culture.
    Question 15: It can be inferred from the last paragraph that it’s easy to.........
    A. know the culture of other countries
    B. know a lot about your own country's culture
    C. describe stereotypes of your country
    D. give exact information about your own country
    Question 16: If we stay a long time in a foreign country, .........
    A. we can seldom find out anything at all about its culture
    B. we will usually realize our own ignorance about its culture
    C. we can often learn a lot about the culture of the foreign country
    D. we will sometimes forget about culture of our own country
    Question 17: When asked about their own culture, many British people........
    A. were surprised by the question asked.
    B. argued they knew little about British culture
    C. said they themselves were not typical of British people
    D. gave incorrect answers
    Question 18: It is hard to learn about a country's culture from books because such books........
    A. concentrate on the dangers of the foreign culture
    B. exaggerate national character
    C. take no notice of culture difference
    D. contain little information about culture
    Choose the word whose underlined part is pronounced differently from that of the other words.
    Question 19:

    booked D. caused

    keeps B. beliefs

    People travel for a lot of reasons: Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
    Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a tot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason, sun!
    The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
    But there are signs that the area is getting more tourists than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
    None of this, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
    Question 17: In paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned _______.
    A. to prove that they have got more tourism than they handle.
    B. to tell us how wealthy their people are.
    C. to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty.
    D. to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate.
    Question 18: According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists’ fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
    A. Polluted water B. Traffic jams
    C. Rainy weather D. Crowded buses
    Question 19: The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that ______.
    A. they want to see historic remains or religious spots.
    B. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites.
    C. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home.
    D. they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs.
    Question 20: The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph 3, “or one tourist for every person living in Spain” means _____.
    A. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year.
    B. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist annually.
    C. every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country.
