Choose the item (A, B, C, or D) that best completes each of the following sentences.

The warm rain tumbled from the gutter in one of those midsummer downpours as I hastened across the lawn behind my house and took shelter in the pool. Breaststroking up and down, I nosed along with eyes just at water level. Each raindrop exploded in a momentary, bouncing fountain that turned into a bubble and burst. The best moments were when the storm intensified, drowning birdsong, and a haze rose off the water as though the pool itself were rising to meet the lowering sky.

It was at the height of this drenching in the summer of 1996 that the notion of a long swim through Britain began to form itself. I wanted to follow the rain on its meanderings about our land to rejoin the sea, to break out of the frustration of a lifetime doing lengths, of endlessly turning back on myself like a tiger pacing its cage.

Most of us live in a world where more and more places and things are signposted, labeled, and officially 'interpreted'. There is something about all this that is turning the reality of things into virtual reality. It is the reason why walking, cycling, and swimming will always be subversive activities. They allow us to regain a sense of what is old and wild, by getting off the beaten track and breaking free of the official version of things. A swimming journey would give me access to that part of our world which, like darkness, misty woods, or high mountains, still retains most mystery.

Choose the item (A, B, C, or D) that best completes each of the following sentences.

During the first 80 years of the existence of the European settlement in Christchurch (1850-1930), four major earthquakes caused significant damage. The last of these happened in 1922 near Motuno, in the north of Canterbury.

Simulations carried out for New Zealand by the Earthquake Commission (EQC) in 1991 showed that earthquakes with a Mercalli intensity of VIII (significant property damage, life-threatening) and above can recur in Christchurch on average 55 years. The study also highlighted the danger of liquefaction of the alluvial sediments on which the city stands, as well as the high likelihood of damage to the water supply, sewerage, and electrical communications.

About 100 tectonic faults and fissures have been discovered within a radius of 20 km from the center of Christchurch. The nearest faults, capable of causing powerful earthquakes, were found in the Rangiora - Kast region, near Hororata and Darfield. However, the 2010 earthquake struck a previously unknown fault. Seismologists have hypothesized that the main earthquake in 2010 could have been two or three nearly simultaneous earthquakes.

The main quake occurred as a result of shear in the crust of the Pacific Plate near the eastern foothills of the Southern Alps on the western edge of the Canterbury Plain. The epicenter of the earthquake was located approximately 80–90 km southeast of the convergent boundary of the Australian and Pacific plates, passing along the island (Alpine and Hope Fault). Despite the distance from the boundary, the earthquake reflects right lateral movement in one of the many local faults formed as a result of the general relative movement of lithospheric plates and is associated with the spread of the Marlborough fault system to the south during recent geological time.

ANSWER THE QUESTION:

1, The effects of the great earthquake in 1991 ________.

A. damage to property and physical

B. affecting human life interfere.

C. property damage significant, life-threatening, may recur 55-year average.

D. affect the individual rights of the people.

2, What theories do seismologists have about the upcoming earthquake?

A. Make predictions about the earthquake in 2010.

B. Hypothesized that major earthquakes in 2010 maybe two or three earthquakes occur almost simultaneously.

C. It will occur due to a rupture in the crust of the Pacific Plate.

D. Occurs at least 2 or 3 times in 2010.

3, How many earthquakes have occurred in Christchurch?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

4, Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the above paragraph?

A. The earthquake can cause damage to the water supply system, sewerage, and electrical communications.

B. Fissures in the Rangiora - Karst region can cause strong earthquakes.

C. Earthquake motion to be reflected by one of the many local faultings.

D. The cause of the earthquake was the destruction of nature.

5, Which sentence is NOT true according to the last paragraph?

A. The main earthquake occurred due to the rupture of the crust of the Pacific plate.

B. The epicenter was located about 80-90 km south-east of the confluence of the Australian and Pacific plates.

C. Earthquake reflects the move right from one of the many local faults.

D. The earthquake is not related to the Marlborough fault system.

I.       Read the following passage and choose the item (a, b, c, or d) that best answers each of the questions about it.

Levi Strauss, a young immigrant from Germany, arrived in San Francisco in 1850. California was in the middle of the Gold Rush. Thousands of men were coming to California to dig for gold. And Strauss came to sell canvas to these gold miners. Canvas is a heavy fabric. So Strauss thought the miners could use the canvas for tents.

One day Strauss heard a miner complain that he couldn't find clothes strong enough for the work he was doing. Strauss got an idea. He quickly took some of his canvas and made it into pants. These pants were what the miners needed. In one day Strauss sold all the pants he had made.

Strauss wanted to improve his pants. He wanted to make them even better. He bought a fabric that was softer than canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from Nimes, a city in France, and was called serge de Nimes. The miners liked this fabric. They called it "denim" (from de Nimes) and bought even more pants from Strauss.

However, denim had no color. Because of this the denim pants did not look very interesting, and they got dirty easily. To solve these problems, Strauss dyed the denim blue.

Strauss continued to improve his jeans. Today, the company he started is known around the world. And jeans are considered not just practical but very fashionable as well.

I.       Read the following passage and choose the item (a, b, c, or d) that best answers each of the questions about it.

You wouldn’t believe what happened yesterday. As I look out my hotel window this morning, I’m not sure I believe it myself.

First, I went to see the parade of the Krewe of Zulu. It was great! The people in the parade were in African clothes. They threw beads to the crowd and handed out painted coconuts. I almost got a coconut, but a woman pushed me aside and grabbed it. I did get some beads though!

To get away from the crowds, I ducked into Pat O’Brien’s, a bar next to Preservation hall where I heard some great jazz a few nights ago. Guess what? Everybody was in Pat O’Brien’s, too! I had a hurricane, a drink the bar is famous for. It’s a combination of rum and passion fruit juice. I soon found out that although it tastes like juice, it works like rum!

To clear my head, I went to the Café du Monde and had café au lait and some warm beignets. The café overlooks the Mississippi River, and its beignets are delicious!

Then, as in Cinderella, at midnight it was all over and the crowds went home. Today it seems like Mardi Gras was just a strange but beautiful dream.

- Mardi Gras: Một lễ hội được tổ chức hàng năm ở một số thành phố

      a. the Café du Monde                                           b. café au lait

      c. the Mississippi River                                        d. my head

28. In the context of the passage, what does the word “works” mean?

      a. to make somebody work                                   b. to operate

      c. to succeed                                                         d. to have a particular effect

29. From reading the passage, it seems that the writer is _____.

      a. a native of New Orleans                                    b. a tourist

Las Vegas, Nevada, is the most famous city for gambling in the United States. It started in 1905 as a small train stop. There were only a few buildings in the desert. In 1946, a famous gangster named Bugsy Siegel built the first casino. He was murdered in 1947. This made him and Las Vegas more famous! In the early 1950s, tourists went to Las Vegas not only to gamble. They went to watch atomic bomb tests in the desert outside the city. In those days, people didn't know it was dangerous. They thought it was exciting.

Las Vegas is also famous for its many wedding chapels. Like all of Las Vegas, they are open twenty-four hours a day. Getting married is easy.
