Mark your choice on the answer sheet. The size and location of the world’s deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last 100 years, deserts have been growing at a “frightening” speed. This is partly beCâuse of natural change, but the greatest desert makers are humans. 1 Ôn Thi Tốt Nghiệp THPT năm 2010 - THERE IS A WILL - THERE IS A WAY! In developing countries, 90 percent of the people use wood for cooking and heating. They cut down trees for firewood. But trees are important. They cool the land under them and keep the sun off the smaller plants. When leaves fall from a tree, they make the land richer. When the trees are gone, the smaller plants die, and there is nothing but sand. Yet people must use firewood, raise animals, and grow crops in order to live. Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth. Algeria planted a green wall of trees across the edge of the Sahara to stop the desert sand from spreading. Mauritania planted a similar wall around Nouakchott, the capital. Iran puts a thin covering of petroleum on sandy areas and plants trees. The oil keeps the water in the land, and men on motorcycles keep the sheep and goats away. Other countries build long canals to bring water to desert areas. Yet land that will probably become desert in the future equals the size of Australia. Can people stop the growth of the world’s deserts and save the land that is so essential to life? 25.

READING- COMPREHENSION Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer for each question: THE PEARL by John Steinbeck is the retelling of a story about a fisherman who finds a huge pearl, realizes that the discovery is destroying his life and returns the pearl to the sea. It is told in a style so authentic that readers feel they are hearing the story from one of the villagers who know all the characters. In spite of its simplicity; however, there are several levels to enjoy in THE PEARL. Some critics have pointed out that the author showed his great respect for the natural environment, and that this book was really his statement about the dangers of creating serious damage to it. When the fisherman throws the pearl back into the sea, he is doing something useful in his effort to prevent the habitat destruction. In fact, Steinbeck was a member of an expedition to explore marine life along the coast of California when he heard the story of the “pearl of the world”. Other critics have suggested that this work is the struggle between the good and the bad. Although the fisherman has dreamed of buying peace and happiness with the pearl, he realizes that these spiritual gifts are beyond price. They can not be bought. It is true that Steinbeck’s work has won popularity among the readers. Perhaps everyone takes his own meaning from this story and reads his own life into it. 25.
