Traffic congestion in the big cities is one of the key issues facing city planners these days It has only continued to get worse, despite the attempts to solve these problems Expensive solutions such as new flyovers, bus-only lanes, and park-and-ride options are all under consideration in many big cities Cycling is a key way of reducing traffic congestion and has other benefits as well It saves fuel, is healthier for the cyclists, and reduces air pollution for all other commuters It provides a more cost-effective and efficient use of city space by reducing the need of enormous parking buildings and inner-city motorways Another point is that cycling is a cheaper alternative than car ownership with its registration fees, fuel costs, and regular mechanical expenses Take a moment to think about those who risk the dangers of busy city roads on a bicycle Cyclists are the most vulnerable people in heavy traffic They move fast, they are balanced on two wheels, and they have no outer metal shell to protect them If they are on their way to work, they may well be carrying work-related documents in a backpack or pannier, which increases the balance problem As cyclists are much smaller than vehicles, drivers frequently not even notice them and accidents are common Often, especially in hot weather, cyclists only wear light clothing, which means the injuries they suffer are likely to be serious, even with helmets What needs to happen for cyclists to feel comfortable cycling to work? The first major requirement is changing our ideas so that cycling becomes a sensible transport choice and cyclists are safe on the roads Public education is an essential part of this to ensure that other road users are more considerate to cyclists and learn how to drive safely when bicycles are sharing the roads Employers also need to be aware of cyclists’ needs These usually range from secure cycle tracks to prevent theft to the provision of showers and lockers so people can change from cycling to business clothes once they arrive at work The second major necessity is the development of a safe, convenient network of cycling pathways that link different parts of the city, but ideally are separate from the regular road system These cycle paths should also allow for some separation of cyclists and pedestrians, as people walking can be badly injured or even killed if a cyclist collides with them In areas where this is not possible, city streets should have clearly marked cycle lanes with restrictions to prevent drivers from using them Some cities, for example, Copenhagen and Amsterdam, have made a particular effort to achieve this They have developed areas that are either car-free (only for pedestrians and cyclists) or ‘pedestrian priority’, where pedestrians and cyclists have the right-of-way and cars are only permitted to move at low speeds Planners believe that the presence of cyclists at all hours of the day and evening keeps the city safer Since 1995, there has been a city bike system in Copenhagen which allows anyone to borrow a bike from one of 110 bike stands around the city for a small deposit Once the bike is returned to the same or another stand, this money is refunded There has also been an active policy of establishing bike lanes, adding bike crossings to intersections, and reducing the number of car parks to discourage cars in the central city Currently, about 34% of commuters in Copenhagen cycle to work Cycling is clearly a healthy and effective alternative to the private car in our congested cities The greater the proportion of cyclists to other vehicles, the safer cycling becomes As some forward-thinking cities have demonstrated, there are many ways in which local city governments can actively encourage and subsidise cycling as a positive option for commuters The most important of these requires some brave decisions to curb the dominance of the private car, and the gridlock experienced in all major cities shows that such action has become essential 45 The word ‘It’ in paragraph refers to A: city planner B: traffic congestion C: key issue D: big city Thông tin nằm đoạn 1: “Traffic congestion in the big cities is one of the key issues facing city planners these days It has only continued …” (Hiện ùn tắc giao thông thành phố lớn là vấn đề mà nhà quy hoạch thành phố phải đối mặt.) 46 The following information can be found in paragraph A: A description of company facilities for employees who cycle to work B: The fact that cyclists are often not noticed by drivers C: Statistics to how that cycle-friendly policies are effective D: A comparison of the cost of owing a bike and a car Thông tin nằm đoạn 2: “… cycling is a cheaper alternative than car ownership with its registration fees, fuel costs, and regular mechanical expenses.”(… xe đạp rẻ so với xe lệ phí đăng ký, chi phí nhiên liệu và bảo dưỡng thường xuyên.) 47 Which of the following is the best heading for paragraph 3? A: Cyclists at risk C: Safe cycling networks B: Educating drivers and employers D: Necessity for action Thông tin nằm đoạn 3: “Take a moment to think about those who risk the dangers of busy city roads on a bicycle Cyclists are the most vulnerable people in heavy traffic.”(Hãy dành chút thời để nghĩ người xe đạp có nguy gặp nguy hiểm đường phố đông đúc Những người này thường dễ bị thương nhất lúc giao thông ùn tắc.) 48 The word ‘these’ in paragraph refers to A: city governments’ needs C: cyclists’ needs B: employees’ needs D: employers’ needs Thông tin nằm đoạn: “Employers also need to be aware of cyclists’ needs These usually range from from secure cycle tracks to prevent theft to …”(Những người chủ cần biết nhu cầu người xe đạp Những nhu cầu này thường là từ chỗ để xe đạp để tránh trộm cắp …) 49 Which of the following is NOT a new solution to traffic congestion? A: expansion of road networks B: special lanes for buses C: overbridges for vehicles D: parking areas for motorists or drivers to change to public transport Thông tin nằm đoạn 1: “Expensive solutions such as new flyovers, bus-only lanes, and park-and-ride …”(Những giải pháp đắt đỏ cầu chui mới, làn đường dành cho xe buýt, và bãi xe tiếp giáp với khu vực trung tâm và từ lái xe chuyển sang sử dụng phương tiện công cộng để vào trung tâm thành phố…) flyovers = overbridges, bus-only lanes = special lanes for buses, park-and-ride = parking areas for motorists or drivers to change to public transport 50. is described as a cycling-friendly development according to the passage A: additionaltaxes on roads at rush hours B: free and covered bike parks C: additional taxes on petrol and diesel D: bikes that anyone can borrow and return later Thông tin nằm đoạn 6: “Since 1995, there has been a city bike system in Copenhagen which allows anyone to borrow a bike from one of 110 bike stands around the city for a small deposit Once the bike is returned to the same or another stand, this money is refunded.” (Kể từ năm 1995 có hệ thống xe đạp thành phố Copenhagen cho phép bất mượn xe từ 110 xe đạp quanh thành phố với khoản đặt cọc nhỏ Sau xe trả chỗ cũ nơi để xe khác, số tiền này hoàn trả.) 51 One of the requirements for cycling to work mentioned in the passage is _ A: policies requiring cyclist to wear bright-coloured clothing B: laws requiring cyclists to wear helmets C: laws preventing cyclists from carrying documents in backpacks D: actions taken by employers to support employees who cycle Thông tin nằm đoạn 4: “Employers also need to be aware of cyclists’ needs These usually range from secure cycle tracks to prevent theft to the provision of showers and lockers so people can change from cycling to business clothes once they arrive at work.” (Những người chủ cần biết nhu cầu người xe đạp Những nhu cầu này thường là từ chỗ để xe đạp để tránh trộm cắp việc cung cấp phòng tắm và tủ khóa để người thay đồ xe đạp riêng sang đồ làm việc họ đến chỗ làm.) 52 Which reason is NOT listed as reasons for encouraging cycling? A: to lessen the need for car parks and roads C: to move quickly through heavy traffic B: to lessen pollution of city air D: to lower the number of cars on the streets Thông tin nằm đoạn 2: “… reduces air pollution , … provides a more cost-effective and efficient use of city space by reducing the need of enormous parking buildings and inner-city motorways.” (…giảm ô nhiễm không khí,… sử dụng không gian thành phố hiệu và tiết kiệm cách giảm nhu cầu cho tòa nhà đỗ xe rộng lớn và đường cao tốc nội thành.) 53 The word „forward-thinking‟ in the last paragraph probably means A: awkward B: strange C: conservative D: pioneering Đáp án : pioneering: tiên phong, suy nghĩ táo bạo, mẻ Các đáp án lại mang nghĩa tiêu cực: Phương án sai: awkward: kỳ cục Phương án sai: conservative: bảo thủ Phương án sai: strange: kỳ lạ 54 The writer's main idea is _ A: Some city governments have encouraged cycling B: Cycling is the key to a reduction of traffic congestion C: In the future, cars will need to be banned from cities D: Automobiles are shaping our city planning Các phương án lại đề cập bài là ý Mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the word that differs from the other three in the position of the primary stress in each of the following questions 55 A: influence B: interview C: behaviour D: punishment Đáp án behavior /bɪˈheɪvjər/: Trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai Các phương án lại trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất punishment /ˈpʌnɪʃmənt/ influence /ˈɪnfluəns/ interview /ˈɪntəvjuː/ 56 A: kindergarten B: curriculum C: encouragement D: minority Đáp án kindergarten /ˈkɪndəˌɡɑːtən/: Trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất Các phương án lại trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai curriculum /kəˈrɪkjʊləm/ minority /maɪˈnɒrɪti/ encouragement /ɪnˈkʌrɪdʒmənt/ 57 A: preferential B: identity C: engineering D: application Đáp án identity /aɪˈdentɪti/ : Trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai Các phương án lại trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ ba preferential /ˌprefəˈrenʃəl/ engineering /ˌendʒɪˈnɪərɪŋ/ application /ˌæplɪˈkeɪʃən/ Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions 58 A husband B raise C distinct D reserve 59 A ivory B crisis C determine D digest Mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the word(s) CLOSEST in meaning to the underlined word(s) in each of the following questions 60 Mrs Mackenzie waited for the class to become quieter before she continued A: bring up B: pass away C: bring on D: settle down Đáp án: settle down: ổn định Phương án sai: bring up: nuôi nấng Phương án sai: pass away = die: qua đời Phương án sai: bring on: gây nên 61 The precision of tools in a computer manufacturing company is critical A: temperature B: cleanliness C: size D: accuracy Đáp án : accuracy: xác Phương án sai: cleanliness: Phương án sai: temperature: nhiệt độ Phương án sai: size: kích cỡ 62 Before the explosion in the sale of personal computers, people spent a lot more time using typewriters A: Succeeding B: Due to C: At the time of D: Prior to Đáp án : Prior to: trước (về thời gian) Phương án sai: Succeedding: sau (về thời gian) Phương án sai: Due to = Because of + N: do, Phương án sai: At the time of: vào lúc 63 After a long, hard struggle, we gradually succeeded in having people accept the truth of our A d?n d?n theory A) slowly B) momentarily C) suddenly D) graciously A giãn r?ng 64 After the drops were placed in the patient's eyes, his pupils became dilated A) enlarged B) smaller C) irritated D) sensible II PHẦN TỰ LUẬN A It isn’t necessary to finish the work today  You don’t Sally finally managed to get a job  Sally finally succeeded That’s the last time I go to that restaurant  I certainly “I advised you to take a holiday” The doctor said  “You’d If you don’t rest yourself you really will be ill  Unless You don’t have to finish the work today Sally finally succeeded in getting the job I certainly will never go to that restaurant “You’d better take a holiday” – the doctor said Unless you rest yourself, you really will be ill B TOPIC: Write a letter to pen-pal to talk about your family ……………, September 26th, 2014 Dear Michael, I am writing to talk about my family as requested in your last letter There are four members in my family;
