Lady Liberty New York City is undoubtedly one of the most famous cities in the world. There are several landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Broadway, and Times Square which have come to symbolize the Big Apple. Although these landmarks are all impressive, nothing captures the true spirit of the city like a gigantic, greenish sculpture that stands proudly in New York Harbour: the famed Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty was created as a special gift to the US by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. It was designed to represent the friendship between the French and American people, two By Đỗ Bình – Lien Son High School, Lap Thach, Vinh Phuc trang 11
12. GCSE PREPARATIONS – A GUIDE FOR SUCCESS! close allies that fought against the British during the American Revolutionary War. Initially, Bartholdi anticipated that he would be able to finish the statue by 1876. The project was conceived as a joint venture. The French would fund and create the statue and send it to the US, while Americans would provide a location and build a pedestal to display it on. The initial completion date would eventually be delayed, however, due to financial issues with both nations. Bartholdi had some technical issues to deal with as well. He had never designed an enormous copper structure of this size and he required some expert assistance. Therefore, Bartholdi recruited Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the Eiffel Tower to help him. After nine years of hard work, the 151 -foot, 22-ton statue was eventually completed and presented to the American Ambassador in France. It then had to be taken apart and separated into crates before being delivered to the US. It took another two years before Americans were able to raise enough public funds to build the pedestal that she would stand on. But the task was finally completed and the Statue of Liberty was assembled and dedicated on October 28, 1886. Over the years, the symbolism of the Statue of Liberty continued to grow more and more important until it became a key symbol of the entire nation. During the late 19th and early 20lh century, it was the first landmark that waves of immigrants saw as they sailed into Ellis Island. The sight of this symbol of freedom gave them hope and inspiration that their life would be better in their new country. Even today, people from all around the world see it as a powerful symbol of the American democracy. Question 33. The Statue of Liberty represents the ___ between the French and the Americans.

The Advancing Development of Artificial Limbs It wasn’t very long ago that losing a limb automatically meant a drastic drop in the quality of a person’s life. Thanks to the wonders of modem science, people now are recovering from all sorts of horrendous injuries that let them disabled. The reason they are able to do so is remarkable advances made in the field of artificial limbs. Doctors have been creating prosthetic limbs for their patients dating back to ancient Greece. For most of history, however, these replacements were mainly for cosmetic purposes. Pirates, knights, foot soldiers that lost their limbs in battle would get them, so they wouldn’t lose face when returning to society. It wasn’t until the mid-19,h century that doctors were able to perform surgeries to reliably attach limbs to people’s bodies and amputate limbs without causing serious infection. Modern artificial limbs represent a tremendous leap forward in terms of form and function. Today’s limbs are far more durable and can withstand a lot more wear and tear. An amazing example of how far artificial limbs have progressed is the Flex-Foot Cheetah. Made from carbon fiber, it is able to store energy as the person moves, which enables the wearer to run and jump. The technology is so good that approximately 90 percent of all Special Olympic amputees use them in competition. Meanwhile, the Bebionic3 has emerged as the most advanced prosthetic arm available. It has been nicknamed “The Terminator” because it is similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mechanical limbs in the famous blockbuster film. The Bebionic3 can perform a multitude of tasks including writing, tying a shoelace, lifting heavy objects, and even pouring a beer. Wearers simply push a button on the base of the arm and the Bebionic3 will work its magic. In September 2013, scientists took another giant leap forward when they successfully fitted a patient with an artificial leg that can be controlled by thought. Two of the patient’s nerves were attached By Đỗ Bình – Lien Son High School, Lap Thach, Vinh Phuc trang 12
13. GCSE PREPARATIONS – A GUIDE FOR SUCCESS! to his hamstring muscle. These nerves then interact with sensors inside the artificial leg. Sensors will then transmit these messages to a computer which will follow through on his instructions. Therefore, if the patient wants to stretch out his leg, the computer will understand this command and send a message to the limb and instruct it to do so. If artificial limb technology keeps advancing like this, losing a limb may not be such a big deal. Question 38. What would happen when someone in the past needed to get an artificial limb? A. They usually die very quickly. B. They would need to get the limb replaced within months. C. Their new limb would function better than the old one. D. Their life wouldn’t be as good as before. Question 39. What was the main reason that soldiers received artificial limbs? A. So they can continue to fool the enemy. B. So other people wouldn’t think less of them. C. To allow them to fight better than ever. D. To make them more likely to follow orders. Question 40. Why did artificial limbs progress in the mid-19th century? A. Doctors became better with surgery. B. Artificial limbs were made from stronger materials. C. Governments passed laws that made artificial limbs legal. D. Patients are more likely to get artificial limbs. Question 41. Which of the following best matches the meaning of the word “multitude” in paragraph 4? A. courage B. limit C. variety D. single Question 42. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The cutting edge of advancement. B. An artificial limb to stop working. C. A new technology that failed. D. A limb that will probably never work better. Question 43. All of the following about modem artificial limbs are true EXCEPT that A. they last for a longer period of time. B. they can supply energy by themselves. C. they can lift heavy things by thought. D. they is used in competitions by the disabled. Question 44. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Doctors began performing surgery in the mid-19th century. B. Artificial limbs were attached to patients a long time ago. C. The Flex-Foot Cheetah can help ordinary athletes break records. D. The Bebionic3 was used in the film “The Terminator” to make special effects. Question 45. The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to___.

Cơng thức chung: Trong đĩ: Đại từ: Lấy chủ ngữ ở câu đầu đổi thành đại từ. Trợ động từ: Phụ thuộc vào động từ ở câu trước. Nếu câu trần thuật là thể khẳng định, thì câu hỏi đuơi sẽ là thể phủ định và ngược lại. Ví dụ: Your mother likes reading newspaper, doesn’t she? (contracted form – viết tắt) Your father doesn’t like reading newspaper, does he? Chú ý: Trong câu hỏi đuơi chúng ta luơn luơn dùng các đại từ chủ ngữ (I, he, it, they, ) để đặt câu hỏi. Nếu là câu hỏi đuơi phủ định chúng ta dùng hình thức tỉnh lược giữa “not” với “to be” hoặc với trợ động từ (isn’t, don’t, doesn’t, haven’t, didn’t, can’t, won’t, ) II. Một số trường hợp đặt biệt: 1.

Đối với động từ "Have to": Với động từ “have/ has/ had to” thì ta dùng trợ động từ “do/ does/ did” cho câu hỏi đuơi. Ví dụ: She has to go home, doesn’t she? (Cĩ phải cơ cấy cần về nhà?) 4. Đối với động từ "Let": Khi “Let” đặt đầu câu, căn cứ vào ý nghĩa mà “let” truyền tải trong câu để chọn động từ phù hợp. a. “Let’s” trong câu gợi ý, rủ rê ai làm việc gì đĩ cùng mình thì ta dùng “shall we?” cho câu hỏi đuơi. Ví dụ: Let’s go, shall we? (Ta đi thơi, phải khơng nào?) let’s = let us b. “Let” trong câu xin phép (let us/let me) thì ta dùng “will you?” cho câu hỏi đuơi. Ví dụ: Let us use the telephone, will you? (Cho bọn mình sử dụng điện thoại, được khơng?) c. "Let" trong [câu đề nghị] giúp người khác (let me), dùng "may I?" xin phép Ví dụ: Let me help you do it, may I? (Để mình giúp cậu làm, được chứ?) 5.

Đối với câu cĩ đại từ bất định chỉ người: Khi chủ ngữ của câu là những đại từ bất định chỉ người như: anyone, anybody, no one, nobody, none, everybody, everyone, somebody, someone, these, those thì chúng ta dùng đại từ “they” làm chủ từ trong câu hỏi đuơi. 7. Đối với câu cĩ đại từ bất định chỉ vật: Khi chủ ngữ của câu là những đại từ bất định chỉ vật như: nothing, something, everything, this, that thì chúng ta dùng đại từ “it” làm chủ từ trong câu hỏi đuơi.

Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping forward or backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also, they activate and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in comprehension. Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they may not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it. Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be disorganized. By Đỗ Bình – Lien Son High School, Lap Thach, Vinh Phuc trang 27

PANDEMIC DISEASES Diseases are a natural part of life on earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources, so in a way, diseases are natural ways of keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics. Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918, a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a new thing in common. First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this would be the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70 -80% of all people who get the Marburg virus died from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread. While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002, and 2003, doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic. Question 35. According to paragraph 1, how are diseases a natural part of life on Earth? A. They prevent pandemics B. They help control the population C. They led the world grow quickly D. They kill too many people Question 36. Based on the information in the passage the term “pandemics” can be explained as___. A. diseases with no cure C. diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people B. a deadly kind of flu D. new disease like SARS or the Marburg virus By Đỗ Bình – Lien Son High School, Lap Thach, Vinh Phuc trang 28
