The way a meal is cooked and served is the most important and an attractive served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food or never discuss likes or dislikes in front of him or never allow nobody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables within the child’s hearing, he is likely to copy this procedure. Take it for grant that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of the supposing dislike. At meal times, it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him come back for a second helping ....

A It is completely frozen B It is a saltwater lake C It is beneath a thick slab of ice D It is heated by the sun 73 Which of the following is closest in meaning to “frigid” in paragraph 1? A extremely cold B easily broken C quite harsh D lukewarm 74 All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it A was conducted by air B made use of radio waves C could not determine the lake's exact size D was controlled by a satellite 75 It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if _ A there were no lake underneath B the lake were not so big C Antarctica were not so cold D radio waves were not used 76 The word "microbes" in paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following? A Pieces of dust B Tiny bubbles C Tiny organisms D Rays of light 77 Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it A can be studied using radio waves B may contain uncontaminated microbes C may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D has already been contaminated 78 The word "downside" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A bottom level B negative aspect C underside D buried section 79 The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of A further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica B problems with satellite-borne radar equipment C ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it D the harsh climate of Antarctica 80 The purpose of the passage is to A explain how Lake Vostok was discovered B provide satellite data concerning Antarctica C discuss future plans for Lake Vostok D present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica's geography SECTION E: WRITING (20 pts) Question I Complete each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed above it (5 pts) 81 The boys clearly intended to make trouble when they entered the hotel The boys were ………………………………… 82 Alice lost all her hope She decided to stop her business Such ………………………………………………………… 83 The number of murders has been going up little by little each year There_ 84 Just thinking about his face at that moment makes me laugh The very…………………………………………………………………… 85 Tim had no idea what he was letting himself in for Little …………………………………………………………………………… Question II Complete the second sentence so that it has the same meaning as the first one, using the words given (5 pts) 86 By the time you get here they will have repaired the computer (PUT) The computer ………………………………… by the time you get here 87 I am determined to become a teacher of maths (HEART) He has…………………………………………coming a teacher of maths 88 They couldn’t decide where to go on holiday (REACH) -> They couldn’t ………………………………… to go on hoilday 89.Most medical student study for their degrees until they are 25 (GRADUATE) Most medical students of 25 90.I enjoyed the view from the top of the tower despite the fact that I hate being in high places like that (HEAD) Although I……………………… I enjoyed the view from the top of the tower Question III ( 10 pts) If children behave badly, should their parents punish them?

A It is completely frozen B It is a saltwater lake C It is beneath a thick slab of ice D It is heated by the sun 73 Which of the following is closest in meaning to “frigid” in paragraph 1? A extremely cold B easily broken C quite harsh D lukewarm 74 All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it A was conducted by air B made use of radio waves C could not determine the lake's exact size D was controlled by a satellite 75 It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if _ A there were no lake underneath B the lake were not so big C Antarctica were not so cold D radio waves were not used 76 The word "microbes" in paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following? A Pieces of dust B Tiny bubbles C Tiny organisms D Rays of light 77 Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it A can be studied using radio waves B may contain uncontaminated microbes C may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D has already been contaminated 78 The word "downside" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A bottom level B negative aspect C underside D buried section 79 The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of A further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica B problems with satellite-borne radar equipment C ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it D the harsh climate of Antarctica 11 80 The purpose of the passage is to A explain how Lake Vostok was discovered B provide satellite data concerning Antarctica C discuss future plans for Lake Vostok D present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica's geography 71 B 72 C 73 A 74 D 75 A 76 C 77 B 78 B 79 C 80 D SECTION E: WRITING (20 pts) Question I Complete each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed above it (5 pts) 81 The boys clearly intended to make trouble when they entered the hotel The boys were ………………………………… 82 Alice lost all her hope She decided to stop her business Such ………………………………………………………… 83 The number of murders has been going up little by little each year There_ 84 Just thinking about his face at that moment makes me laugh The very…………………………………………………………………… 85 Tim had no idea what he was letting himself in for.( to become involved in a difficult or unpleasant situation without intending to) Little …………………………………………………………………………… 81 The boys were clearly intent on making trouble when they entered the hotel 82 Such was her hopelessness that Alice decided to stop her business 83 There has been a gradual/ steady increase in the number of murders 84 The very thought of his face at that moment makes me laugh 85 Little did Tim know what he was letting himself in for Question II Complete the second sentence so that it has the same meaning as the first one, using the words given (5 pts) 86 By the time you get here they will have repaired the computer (PUT) The computer will have been put right by the time you get here 87 I am determined to become a teacher of maths (HEART) He has set his heart on becoming a teacher of maths 88 They couldn’t decide where to go on holiday (REACH) -> They couldn’t reach a decision on where to go on hoilday 89.Most medical student study for their degrees until they are 25 (GRADUATE) Most medical students don't graduate until the age of 25 90.I enjoyed the view from the top of the tower despite the fact that I hate being in high places like that (HEAD) Although I have no head for heights I enjoyed the view from the top of the tower.( người có khả chịu đựng không sợ độ cao) Question III ( 10 pts) If children behave badly, should their parents punish them?
