First explorations into the planets Human’s dream of stepping into the outer space has been long ago and Jules Verne - a famous fiction writer of the 19th century was the first to describe such journeys.

Then on 3 February 1966 Luna 9 - an unmanned space mission - achieved a soft landing on the moon and transmitted photographic data to Earth. Lunar 10 - a robotic spacecraft mission entered lunar orbit on April 3, 1966. On 20 July 1969, the first manned landing on the moon was made by Neil Armstrong. After his journey, a series of journeys to other planets were made. The first flyby - the flight of a spacecraft near a planet to record data - of Venus was made by Mariner 2 in 1962. Other flybies include that in 1965 for Mars by Mariner 4, 1973 for Jupiter by Pioneer 10, 1974 for Mercury by Mariner 10, 1979 for Saturn by Pioneer 11, 1986 for Uranus by Voyager 2, 1989 for Neptune by Voyager 2. 1.

Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F). Circle T or F. In the past, the study of space was mainly carried out by astronomers using telescopes. However, astronomers sometimes had it wrong. Meanwhile, apart from the desire to conquer the world around, humans also want more space to accommodate the world’s increasing population. Owing to the developments in space technology, humans have made spectacular explorations and discoveries of the space. The explorations can be conducted either by unmanned robotic probes or by human spaceflights. Undeniably, those achievements have been made quickly as a result of the “space race” by the Soviet Union and the United States. Within more than two decades, from the beginning of 1950s to 1970s, the two nations launched many of the milestones, from launching living beings into space to launching flybies to observe planets. However, the biggest achievement of the 21st century has been the cooperation in launching the International Space Station, which serves as space environment research laboratory for experiments in many fields. It is also suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to the Moon and Mars. Hopefully, in the near future, space technological advancements will soon allow us to find out habitable space environment. DeThi.edu.vn

Julia: I started making T-shirt designs when I was in my first year at college. So it has been almost 8 years now. Interviewer: What exactly does a graphic designer do? Julia: Well, we create visual concepts to deliver a desired message. We develop graphics for production illustrations, logos, websites. We also develop overall layout and production design for advertisements, brochures, magazines, corporate reports, etc. Interviewer: So it’s mostly involved images? Julia: We work with text as well. We use different types, fonts, sizes, colours, styles etc. to create special effects. We also decide how images and text will go together on a print or webpage, including how much space each will have. Interviewer: So do you have to own a computer? Julia: You can create images either on a computer or by hand. But I would say I cannot work without a computer. A graphic designer combines art with technology you know. Interviewer: Cool. How can I become a graphic designer? Julia: Graphic designers usually need a bachelor’s degree in graphic design or a related field. Candidates for graphic design positions should demonstrate their creativity and originality through a professional portfolio that features their best designs. Interviewer: And? Julia: And you should be good at visual thinking. With good visual thinking, you can transform statistical data into visual graphics and diagrams, which can make complex ideas a lot more accessible.

Package holidays, covering a two weeks" stay in an attractive location are increasingly popular, because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing - you name it - it"s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother anything yourselves. You make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time travelling. Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous city, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the coach next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seat and watch the world go by. 29. In spite of its disadvantages, spending a holiday with a group is particularly good for ___ A. schoolboys and schoolgirls B. the lonely or elderly people C. newly married young couples D. those who always travel by themselves 30."Time is always at your elbow." This means ___ A.your time always is limited when visiting a place B. your time is always limited when visiting a place C. you can take your time visiting a place D. you can take your time visiting a place 31.

Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. A coach tour is always exhausting. B. You are constantly on the move when you are on a coach tour. C. You get no chance to visit historic buildings in famous cities on a coach tour. D.

Read the passage about space. Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F). Circle T or F. In the past, the study of space was mainly carried out by astronomers using telescopes. However, astronomers sometimes had it wrong. Meanwhile, apart from the desire to conquer the world around, humans also want more space to accommodate the world’s increasing population. Owing to the developments in space technology, humans have made spectacular explorations and discoveries of the space. The explorations can be conducted either by unmanned robotic probes or by human spaceflights. Undeniably, those achievements have been made quickly as a result of the “space race” by the Soviet Union and the United States. Within more than two decades, from the beginning of 1950s to 1970s, the two nations launched many of the milestones, from launching living beings into space to launching flybies to observe planets. However, the biggest achievement of the 21st century has been the cooperation in launching the International Space Station, which serves as space environment research laboratory for experiments in many fields. It is also suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to the Moon and Mars. Hopefully, in the near future, space technological advancements will soon allow us to find out habitable space environment. DeThi.edu.vn

Nick: About 80, but when we were tired, we didn’t go that far. And sometimes we didn’t want to cycle, so we got lifts on trucks. Sara: I see. Did you spend lots of time planning your trip? Nick: We didn’t plan for it very carefully. We often changed our plans. Sara: Did you sleep in hotels? Nick: No. We slept in tents. Sara: What did you like best about your travel?

57. Bộ 15 Đề thi tiếng Anh cuối kỡ 2 Lớp 9 (Cú đỏp ỏn) - DeThi.edu.vn When a person learns English in an English speaking country, he/she can have many advantages. First, he/she can learn with native speakers so they can learn the language naturally. Second, he/she can learn English in real life contexts, which is much more beneficial than someone learning English in a foreign country. Another advantage is he/she can have very natural accent or the native-like accent. This is what many people wish to have. Finally, I believe those people can also have native speakers as friends. Later on, when they come back home, they can at the same time maintain their English if keeping contact with those friends. For all the advantages I have mentioned above, I think one should go abroad to study English if they really have a chance. DeThi.edu.vn
