At least one hundred sixty thousand people in eleven countries were killed. Many more lost their homes. Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand suffered the most damage. Many health officials warned about the possible spread of diseases after the tsunami waves (sãng thÇn) in the Indian Ocean in December. W.H.O. officials say international efforts to provide clean water have helped limit the spread of infections. So have shipments of medicine and mosquito-control supplies. But the W.H.O. says people are still at great risk of diseases such as cholera (bÖnh t¶), malaria and dengue fever (sèt xuÊt huyÕt). Dengue fever and malaria are spread by the 2 bite of mosquitoes. Cholera is an intestinal infection (bÖnh ®êng ruét) spread through water polluted with bacteria. Another big concern involves the emotional condition of tsunami survivors.

(10 ®iÓm, mçi c©u 1 ®iÓm) SELECTIVE REFLECTION (pH¶N X¹/CHIÕU CHäN LäC) We can see an object only when a light shines on it. The surface of a particular object will absorb some of this light s wavelengths (b’ ước sóng) and reflect others. This process is known as selective reflection. The colour we see is the colour that is reflected. To illustrate this, let us consider the colours of a tree. The leaves appear green because all other wavelengths of the light hitting them are absorbed (hấp thụ). The trunk of a tree appears brown because brown is the only wavelength which is reflected. The only two colours we see that are not the product of selective reflection are black and white. When a surface absorbs all the wavelengths of a light source, that surface appears black. When it absorbs none, it appears white. True False 31 The passage defines wavelengths. x 32 The passage explains why some surfaces absorb certain wavelengths and reflects others. x 33 The word selective implies that only some wavelengths are“ ” reflected. x 34 Leaves look green to us because this colour is absorbed while all others are reflected. x 35 The trunk of a tree appears brown because this colour is reflected. x 36 White does not reflect light selectively; it reflects all lightwaves. x 37 An object will appear black because no wavelengths are reflected. x 38 An object will appear white when all the colours from a light source are reflected from that object s surface.’ x 4 39 The six basic colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet are probably all subject to the selective reflection process. x 40 The page of this Test Paper reflects all the light that is shining on it, but the words on the page absorb all the light. x Passage 4: Read the following passage and choose the right answer by circling the suitable letter A,B,C, or D space in the Questions 41-45. THE NOBEL PRIZE (5 ®iÓm, mçi c©u 1 ®iÓm) After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive power too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this’ sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel s death, the awards (gold’ medal, illuminated diplomas, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges decisions. Americans have won numerous’ science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this rare; others have shared their prizes. 41. When did the first award ceremony take place? A. 1895 B. 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968 42. Why was the Nobel Prize established? A. to recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity.
