In fact at school, I was a SCIENCE complete(3) in these subjects. Neither am I very FAIL good at dealing with people, nor am I(4) , so jobs in AMBITION business, administration and (5) don't really interest MANAGE me either.

Fill each gap in the passage with one suitable word (5 pts.) Last Wednesday, Mary went to a concert with her friend Julia. The concert- hall was on the other side of the town and so they decided to (1) home early. They caught the bus and arrived long (2) the concert was due to start. There was a cafộ nearby so they went in. Mary ordered a sandwich and coffee but Julia decided to have a hot meal. While they were waiting to (3) served, Mary looked (4) her handbag for the tickets to check what time the concert (5) begin. To (6) dismay, she discovered that the tickets were not there! Then she remembered that she (7) left them on the table at home. She told Julia (8) had happened and said she would go home to get the tickets. She promised to be (9) before DeThi.edu.vn
10. Bộ 50 Đề thi tuyển sinh vào lớp 10 mụn Tiếng Anh (Cú đỏp ỏn) - DeThi.edu.vn the concert started. Mary rushed (10) of the cafộ and went to the bus-stop to catch a bus back to her house. Unfortunately, she had just (11) a bus and she (12) to wait a long time for (13) one. She was just beginning to despair (14) she saw a taxi, which she signalled to stop. Giving her address to the driver, she jumped (15) , and fifteen minutes later she was home. “Wait for me,” she said and ran into the house. Mary picked (16) the tickets from the table and the taxi-driver drove her straight back to the cafộ. Julia had just finished her meal. Together they hurried out of the cafộ and walked quickly to the concert-hall, (17) they arrived hot and (18) of breath. Mary showed the tickets to the man at the door, (19) looked at them carefully and then (20) them back. “I’m sorry,” he said. “”These are for next Wednesday.” Question 2. Read the text and Table 1 below. Complete this text with these words plus of where necessary (2.5 pts) a great deal few many most twelve times a third fewest more ninety per cent two-thirds I read several studies about dating. In one American study, the researchers asked a large number of college students about arranging a date. They focused on dates arranged by women (see Table 1). (1) the students preferred hints. In a hint, for example, the woman mentions that she has noticed something about the man or seen him somewhere. If he talks to her, she can pay (2) attention to him and act as if he is very interesting. Then maybe she can say that she’d like to talk to him again. These types of hints were preferred by about (3) the students. About a third of the women said they wanted to wait for the man to ask. But only three per cent of the men wanted that. This means that almost (4) as many women as men think that this is a good idea. Such a large difference suggests that a lot of women are waiting and hoping for something that very (5) men will do. This may be one of the (6) reasons why students think it is hard to get a date. Another reason may be their different opinions about asking directly. “Asking directly” was chosen by the (7) women. More men, almost (8) them, liked this approach. In fact, in another study I read, (9) college men said that if they were asked directly, they would say “Yes.” An example of asking directly was: “I have some tickets for a concert. Would you like to go with me?” In my opinion, this example may not provide reliable evidence about dating. The man may want to go to the concert and say, “Yes,” but he may not like the woman. Is this a date? I don’t think so. I believe that we need (10) these studies to find out if men and women define “date” in the same way. Table 1 If a woman is interested in going on a date with a man, the best thing for her to do is . Men agree Women agree ask him directly 30% 2% . give him a hint 67% 63% wait for him to ask her 3% 35% Question 3. Read the following passage and circle the most suitable word for each space: (3 pts) According to a magazine article I read recently, we (1)___ live in an age of increasing leisure.

Humans to blame Strange results In September 1982, Dr. Joe Farman, a British scientist working in the Antarctic, found that a dramatic change had taken place in the atmosphere above his research station on the ice continent. His instrument, set up to measure the amounts of a chemical called ozone in the atmosphere, seemed to go wild. Over just a few days they recorded that half the ozone had disappeared. 0 D He couldn’t believe his eyes, so he came back to Britain to get a new instrument to check his findings. But when he returned the following year at the same time, the same thing happened. He had discovered a hole in the ozone layer- an invisible shield in the upper atmosphere- that turned out to extend over an area of the sky as wide as the United States and as deep as Mount Everest is high. When he published his findings in scientific journals, they caused a sensation. Scientists blamed pollution for causing the ozone hole. 1 The ozone layer is between 15 and 40 kilometres up in the atmosphere, higher than most aero planes fly. This region contains most of the atmosphere’s ozone, which is a special form of the gas oxygen Ozone has the unique ability to stop certain dangerous invisible rays from the sun from reaching the Earth’s surface- rather like a pair of sunglasses filters out bright sunlight. These rays are known as ultra-violet radiation. This damages living cells, causing sunburn and more serious diseases. The ozone layer is vital to life on the surface of the Earth. 2 Until the ozone layer formed, about two thousand million years ago, it was impossible for any living thing to survive on the surface of the planet. All life was deep in the oceans. But once oxygen was formed in the air, and some of that oxygen turned to ozone, plants and animals could begin to move on to land. 3 But now humans are damaging the ozone layer for the first time. In the past ten years, scientists have discovered that some man-made gases, used in everything from refrigerators and aerosols to fire extinguishers, and floating up into the ozone layer and destroying the ozone. The most common of these gases are called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). DeThi.edu.vn

So far, these holes have healed up again within a few weeks by natural processes in the atmosphere that create more ozone. But each year, it seems to take longer for the healing to be completed. Also, all round the planet, there now seems to be less ozone in the ozone layer than even a few years ago. 5 The first new international law to stop people making or using CFCs was the Montreal Protocol, agreed by most of the world’s governments in 1987, Since then, there have been new controls on other chemicals that destroy ozone. The problem is that it takes roughly eight years for CFCs, which are released when an old fridge is broken up, to reach the ozone layer. That is why, despite all the cuts, ozone holes were deeper than ever around both the North and South Poles in 1993. Amounts of CFCs in the atmosphere will continue to rise for anther five years, say scientists. 6 Every year, the atmosphere will attempt to repair damage to the ozone layer caused by our pollution. But we are stretching its capacity to recover to the limit. If we stop using all ozone-destroying chemicals within the next five years, it is likely to be at least the middle of the 21st century before the ozone hole stops forming over Antarctica each year. And, if we are to survive, we all have to face the problem now. SECTION THREE: WRITING Question 1.

Fill each gap in the passage with one suitable word (5 pts.) Last Wednesday, Mary went to a concert with her friend Julia. The concert- hall was on the other side of the town and so they decided to (1) leave home early. They caught the bus and arrived long (2) before the concert was due to start. There was a cafộ nearby so they went in. Mary ordered a sandwich and coffee but Julia decided to have a hot meal. While they were waiting to (3) be / get served, Mary looked (4) in / inside / through her handbag for the tickets to check what time the concert (5) would begin. To (6) her / Mary’s / their dismay, she discovered that the tickets were not there! Then she remembered that she (7) had left them on the table at home. She told Julia (8) what had happened and said she would go home to get the tickets. She promised to be (9) back before the concert started. Mary rushed (10) out of the cafộ and went to the bus-stop to catch a bus back to her house. Unfortunately, she had just (11) missed a bus and she (12) had to wait a long time for (13) another one. She was just beginning to despair (14) when she saw a taxi, which she signalled to stop. Giving her address to the driver, she jumped (15) in / inside , and fifteen minutes later she was home. “Wait for me,” she said and ran into the house. Mary picked (16) up the tickets from the table and the taxi-driver drove her straight back to the cafộ. Julia had just finished her meal. Together they hurried out of the cafộ and walked quickly to the concert-hall, (17) where / so they arrived hot and (18) out/ short of breath. Mary showed the tickets to the man at the door, (19) who looked at them carefully and then (20) gave / handed / passed them back. “I’m sorry,” he said. “”These are for next Wednesday.” Question 2. Read the text and Table 1 below. Complete this text with these words plus of where necessary (2.5 pts) a great deal few many most twelve times a third fewest more ninety per cent two-thirds I read several studies about dating. In one American study, the researchers asked a large number of college students about arranging a date. They focused on dates arranged by women (see Table 1). (1) the students preferred hints. In a hint, for example, the woman mentions that she has noticed something about the man or seen him somewhere. If he talks to her, she can pay (2) DeThi.edu.vn
16. Bộ 50 Đề thi tuyển sinh vào lớp 10 mụn Tiếng Anh (Cú đỏp ỏn) - DeThi.edu.vn attention to him and act as if he is very interesting. Then maybe she can say that she’d like to talk to him again. These types of hints were preferred by about (3) the students. About a third of the women said they wanted to wait for the man to ask. But only three per cent of the men wanted that. This means that almost (4) as many women as men think that this is a good idea. Such a large difference suggests that a lot of women are waiting and hoping for something that very (5) men will do. This may be one of the (6) reasons why students think it is hard to get a date. Another reason may be their different opinions about asking directly. “Asking directly” was chosen by the (7) women. More men, almost (8) them, liked this approach. In fact, in another study I read, (9) college men said that if they were asked directly, they would say “Yes.” An example of asking directly was: “I have some tickets for a concert. Would you like to go with me?” In my opinion, this example may not provide reliable evidence about dating. The man may want to go to the concert and say, “Yes,” but he may not like the woman. Is this a date? I don’t think so. I believe that we need (10) these studies to find out if men and women define “date” in the same way. Table 1 If a woman is interested in going on a date with a man, the best thing for her to do is . Men agree Women agree ask him directly 30% 2% . give him a hint 67% 63% wait for him to ask her 3% 35% Question 3.

Read this passage carefully and then choose the best answers to the questions below by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C, or D. A recent investigation by scientists at the US Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior might help predict future earthquake.

Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before the disaster. In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a terrible quake.
