9, Đọc đoạn văn và điền A, B, C hoặc D vào mỗi chỗ trống trong các câu hỏi dưới đây:

Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid, therefore noise penetrates without protection. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear.
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and spychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well.

It is very difficult to succeed in the music business; nine out of ten bands that release a first record fail to produce a second. Surviving in the music industry requires luck and patience, but most of all it requires an intricate knowledge of how a record company functions. The process begins when a representative of a company's Artists and Repertoire (A & R) department visits bars and night clubs, scouting for young, talented bands. After the representative identifies a promising band, he or she will work to negotiate a contract with that band. The signing of this recording contract is a slow process. A company will spend a long time investigating the band itself as well as current trends in popular music. During this period, it is important that a band reciprocate with an investigation of its own, learning as much as possible about the record company and making personal connections within the different departments that will handle their recordings.
Once a band has signed the contract and has finished recording an album, the Publicity and Promotions department takes over. This department decides whether or not to mass produce and market the band's album. Most bands fail to make personal contacts in this second department, thus losing their voice in the important final process of producing and marketing their album. This loss of voice often contributes to the band's failure as a recording group.

V. Read the passage carefully and then choose the correct answers.
Nowadays many products are nearly identical to one another in quality and price. If products are almost the same, what makes consumers buy one brand instead of another? Although we may not like to admit it, commercials on television and advertisements in newspapers and manaziges probably influence us much more than we think they do.
Advertising informs consumers about new products availalble on the market. It gives us information about everything. However; there is one problem with this. The "information" is actually very often misinformation. It tells us the products benefits but hide their disadvantages. Advertising not only leads us to buy things that we do not need or cannot afford but also confuses our sense of reality.
Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy their products. One of their most successful methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our imperfect lives. They get psychologists to study the way consumers think and their reasons for choosing one brand instead of another. Psychologists have found that certain colors on the package of an attractive product will cause people to reach out and take that package instead of buying an identical product with different colors. Also, certain words attract our attention. For example, the words "new", "improved", "natural", and "giant size" are very popular and seem to draw our eyes and hands toward the package.
Many consumers believe that advertising does not affect them. They feel that they have freedom of choice, and they like to think they make wise choices. Unfortunately, they probably do not realize the powerful effect of advertising. Every year, advertisers spend billions of dollars inaggressive competition for consumers money and they are very successful.

a. always tells consumers about the truth of the products
b. always tells consumers about the disadvantages of the products
c. informs consumers about new products available on the market

b. are very honest to advertise their products
c. always introduce good product
d. spend a lot of money on advertisements
38. When buying a product, consumers are influenced by _______.
a. colors and words on the package b. the psychologists
c. the competition d. all are correct
39. To many consumers, _______
a. they admit that advertising have affected them
b. they believe that advertising does not affect them
c. they spend billions of dollars for advertising
d. they enjoy advertisements crazily
40. Advertisers have psychologists study _______.

V. Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions
Water pollution, contamination of streams, lakes, underground water, bays, or oceans by substances, is harmful to living things.
Water is necessary to life on earth. All organisms contain it; some live in it; some drink it. Plants and animals require water that is moderately pure, and they cannot survive if their water is loaded with toxic chemicals or harmful micro-organisms. If severe, water pollution can kill large numbers of fish, birds, and other animals, in some cases it may kill all members of a species in an affected area. Pollution makes streams, lakes,. and coastal waters unpleasant to look at, to smell, and to swim in. Fish and shellfish harvested from polluted waters may be unsafe to eat. People who ingest polluted water can become ill, and, with prolonged exposure, may develop cancers or get children with birth defects. The major water pollutants are chemical, biological, or physical materials that degrade, water quality.
Oil and chemicals derived from oil are used for fuel, lubrication, plastics manufacturing, and many other purposes. These petroleum products get into water mainly by means of accidental spills from ships, tanker trucks, pipelines, and leaky underground storage tanks. Many petroleum products are poisonous if ingested by animals, and spilled oil damages the feathers of birds or the fur of animals, often causing death. In addition, spilled oil may be contaminated with other harmful substances.
Chemicals used to kill unwanted animals and plants may be collected by rainwater and carried into streams, especially if these substances are applied too lavishly. Some of these chemicals are biodegradable and quickly decay into harmless or less harmful forms, while others are non-biodegradable and remain dangerous for a long time.
Heavy metals, such as copper, lead, mercury, and selenium, get into water from many sources, including industries, automobile exhaust, mines, and even natural soil. Like pesticides, heavy metals become more concentrated as animals feed on plants and are consumed in turn by other animals. When they reach high levels in the body, heavy metals can be immediately poisonous, or can result in long-term health problems similar to those caused by pesticides and herbicides. Hazardous wastes are chemical wastes that are toxic, reactive, corrosive, and ignitable. If improperly treated or stored, hazardous wastes can pollute water supplies. In 1969 the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio, was so polluted with hazardous wastes that it caught fire and burned.
36. What are the bad effects of polluted water on people?

V. Read the passage carefully and then choose the best answers

It is said that mathematics is the base of all other sciences, and that arithmetic, the science of numbers, is the base of mathematics. Numbers consist of whole numbers (integers) that are formed by the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 and by the combinations of them. For example, 247 – two hundred and forty seven - is a number formed by three digits. Parts of numbers smaller than 1 are sometimes expressed in terms of fraction, but in scientific usage they are given as decimals. This is because it is easier to perform the various mathematical operations if decimals are used instead of fractions. The main operations are: to add, subtract, multiply and divide; to square, cube, or raise to any other power; to take a square, cube, or any other root, and to find a ratio or proportion between pairs of numbers or a series of numbers. Thus, the decimal, or ten-scale, system is used for scientific purposes throughout the world, even in countries whose national systems of weights and measurements are based upon other scales. The other scale in general use nowadays is the binary, or two-scale, in which numbers are expressed by combinations of only two digits, a and 1. Thus, in the binary scale, 2 is expressed as 010, 3 is given as 011, 4 is represented as 100, etc. This scale is perfectly adapted to the "off-on" pulse of electricity, so it is widely used in electronic computers. Because of its simplicity it is often called "the lazy schoolboy's dream "!

a. numbers b. mathematics c. arithmetic d. binary

d. All are correct
39. The binary is a system _______.
a. in which mathematics is the base of all other sdences
b. in which numbers are expressed by combinations of only two digits, 0 and 1

V. Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions

It is the environment in which we breathe that must have changed, and there is plenty of evidence that tells us it has. Plus, we also know that it is airborne pollutants and elements that usually cause asthma attacks and other respiratory problems. Most people believe it is the air outdoors that presents us with the greatest risk. However, it is actually the air inside our houses, schools, and other buildings that is most harmful. According to the Ainerican College of Allergies, 50% of all illnesses is aggravated or caused by polluted indoor air.
Today's homes and buildings are built airtight, with energy-efficiency inside. Their airtight construction keep airborne pollutants trapped inside, nature's air cleansing agents outside. Is it any wonder that statistics for asthma problems began rising sharply around the same time that homes and buildings began to be built this way? In fact, a recent study found that the allergen level in super-insulated homes is 200% higher than it is in ordinary homes. Plus, according to Scientific America, a baby crawling on the floor inhales the equivalent of 4 cigarettes a day, as a result of the outgas of carpets, molds, mildews, fungi, dust mites, etc. Most people spend a lot of their time inside. In which case, indoor air is going to impact our health far more than outdoor air. Virtually, everyone is affected, especially asthmatics and others who are particularly sensitive to allergens and contaminants in the air. It is informed that 6 out of 10 houses and buildings are "sick", meaning they are hazardous to your health to occupy, as a result of airborne pollutants. In fact, every house and building is affected by the indoor air quality epidemic to one degree or another, regardless of how clean it may appear. Every home is filled with prime sources that contribute to mass quantities of airborne allergens and contaminants.
For instance, if your home looks really clean, you should ask yourself how it became that way. Did you use aerosols, floor and furniture polish, bleach, bathroom cleaners, etc.? If so, these products emit harmful chemical vapors into the air.
Increased ventilation is not the answer. A group of scientists recently discovered that increasing ventilation in a building did not reduce the number of symptoms.
36. What cause asthma attacks and other respiratory problems?
37. Why is 50% of all illnesses aggravated or caused by polluted indoor air?

39. Who can get asthma?

V. Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions

Are you a compulsive spender, or do you hold on to your money as long as possible? Are you a bargain hunter? Would you rather use charge accounts than pay cash? Your answers to these questions will reflect your personality. According to psychologists, our individual money habits not only show our beliefs and values, but can also stem from past problems.
Experts in psychology believe that for many people, money is an important symbol of strength and influence. In addition, many people consider money a symbol of love. They send it to their family and friends to express love, or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love.
According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders; they feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational - impossible to explain reasonably. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they do not need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning.
Psychologists often use method called "behavior therapy" to help individuals to solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money: they give them "assignments".
