Parents should provide them with enough butter and sugar. The most important thing is to have children to take part in sports which make them healthier and well-built.45.

Hydroelectric dams hold back needed water and provide water for homes and industry. Trees, grasses, and other plant life play an important part in the natural circulation of water, and thus help conserve it. Without plants most water would run off as soon as it falls, taking away valuable soil. Rapid runoff


Tµi liÖu «n thi Tèt nghiÖp 12would cause frequent floods, and leave little water during dry seasons. Nature has many ways of conserving and controlling water. But man often upsets the water balance in his desire to grow more crops. He drains ponds, swamps, and wet lands. He plows under the natural sods, cuts timber, and dredges and straightens streams. These changes reduce natural storage of water and speed runoff. Water can be held on the land by planting vegetation. Forests and grass should be planted where are no natural growths. Dams built across rivers help hold back the water. Reservoirs behind the dams store water during wet seasons for use in dry seasons. Dams help prevent floods by controlling the flow of water. Many town and cities get their water from nearby lakes and rivers. Some communities dump sewage and garbage into the water, making it unfit to drink. Water pollution is one of our most serious problems. Progressive cities have sewage treatment plants. These plants return only safe water to the streams or lakes. Many states have laws that prohibit companies form dumping raw industrial wastes, such as liquids from a metal – planting factory, into streams. These wastes often endanger the supply of drinking water. They also kill fish. Most industrial wastes can be treated to make them harmless.46.

Once inside the lungs, the carbon atoms grab any passing hemoglobin ( the oxygen forming substance found in the blood ) and basically take a joy ride around the body. Someone who smokes 20 a day can have a carbon monoxide level which is 5 – 10 times than a smoker does. It deprives the body of oxygen, which makes the blood sticky and can cause problems with the growth, repair and exchange of healthy nutrients. In particular, any reduction in oxygen levels is a real hazard to unborn babies. Pregnant women who smoke run a serious risk of miscarrying or having babies with low birth rate.46.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the tooth. This happens after the germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill.How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. he can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day – once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.

46. Good teeth mainly help us to --------------.A. look nice B. chew our food C. look important D. have good eyesight.

47. When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth --------------.A. become hard B. make us feel quite ill C. begin to decay D. send poison into the blood

A. When I was a student, I had a summer job in an expensive restaurant in Glasgow. One day we were expecting forty members of a football team for lunch. I was given the job of peeling potatoes. I thought I was managing quite well with my small knife until the owner appeared to see how I was getting on. She was amazed that I was using a knife and asked why I wasn’t using the potato peeler. I had no idea what a potato was so she led me into a small room behind the main kitchen. There, on the table, was a small machine like the rubbish bins some people have in their bathrooms. She explains as if to a small child that I had to put the potatoes in, close the lid and press the button. When she came back ten minutes later, I told her I thought it was quicker to do it by hand. She asked what I mean. “Well, they are not ready yet,” I replied. You can imagine how I felt when she lifted the lid and took out the potatoes the size of peas. The potato peeler was not automatic.

Sharks are a common seafood in many places around the world, including Japan and Australia. In Australia shark is the most commonly used fish. Sharks are often killed for shark fin soup, in which many sharks are hunted for their fins, which are cut off with a hot metal blade before the live animal is tossed back into the water.

E . During the 19th century, it was common to hear people in Europe and America say that the resources of the sea are unlimited. For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid-19 th century commented that none of the great sea fisheries is to be exhausted. Today though, there is evidence that the resources of the sea are as seriously endangered as those of the land and the air, and that the endangered species include Herring and Carp as well as the African Elephant, Indian Tiger, and the American Eagle.

Furthermore, the threats to fish are more alarming in some ways than the threats to animals and birds.


Tµi liÖu «n thi Tèt nghiÖp 12This is because fishes are a much needed food resources and people throughout the world depend

on fish as an important part of their dish, and the decline in the fish supply could have extensive effects on hunger and population.

Sea resources are rapidly declining in many parts of the world, and the problem cannot be ignored.

We can predict that food supplies in the sea cannot last forever.Caâu 21: According to the author, what was the attitude in the 19th century toward resources of the sea?

C/ Different language learners learn words in different ways. Some learners make a list and put into it the meanings of new words in their mother tongue, and try to learn them by heart. However, others do not. Instead, they write one or two example sentences with each new word in order to remember how to use the word in the right way. In order to remember words better, some learners even write each word and its use on a small piece of paper and stick it somewhere in their house so as to learn it any time. Many learners do not try to learn all new words they come across. They usually underline or highlight only the words they want to learn. This helps them to remember important words. Learners do not only learn the meanings of new words but also learn how to spell and pronounce them so as to use them in both writing and speaking. There are also different ways of learning the same number of words. For example, if you try to learn ten words in two days, you can do so in two ways. You can learn the first five words the first day, and learn the other five the next day. However, because revision is necessary, you can learn all the ten words the first day and revise them the next day. This helps you practice the words more times. Language learners should try different ways of learning words so as to find out the best way for themselves. Ask yourself the question: How should I learn words ? 3

Travelling to the country where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well enough you will certainly have troubles.

E/ The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present day importance as an international language.

Most of the scientific inventions were carried out in the English- speaking countries. Computer programmes are designed in English. Most of books for research and reference are English-written. So English is taught in most of high school and universities. People should learn English which is considered as the useful tool in many fields.

Forest fires start easily during drought. The soil of a drought area becomes dry and crumbles. The rich top soil is often blown away by the hot, dry winds. Streams, ponds and wells often dry up during a drought, and animals suffer a drought may even die because of the lack of water.

However, these same advancements in science and technology have caused some dangerous problems. These problems will not go away easily because people do not want to give up the conveniences of a modern life-style. The most critical problems are pollution. Machinery, domestic devices and means of transport make human life more comfortable, but they have dangerous emissions. The problems created by pollution are growing daily. Because people do not want to change their life-styles, we must invent a way to neutralize the pollutants we are putting into our environment. People need to be educated to stop damaging the earth. Furthermore, governments, must take action to prevent individuals and companies from harming the environment.66. Science and technology have brought us ____________.a.

B/ There are many sources of pollution in our modern world. At present, the most serious sources are acid rain, car exhaust fumes and oil spills. Factory chimneys give out smoke that contains sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These gases combine with moisture in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid. When it rains, these acids dissolve in the rain and make it acidic. Acid rain is believed to be the worst pollution of all. It has harmed aquatic life by turning many lakes into lifeless bodies of water. Car exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and lead which are highly poisonous. In big cities, the exhaust fumes build up and pose a health hazard to human beings. Pollution of the sea by oil threatens marine life. Much of the oil comes from ships that clean their fuel tanks while at sea. Offshore oil wells also discharge vast amounts of oil into the sea. Pollution of the sea can also be caused by oil spills.71. What are the most serious sources of pollution ?a. oil, smoke from houses, and water b. acid rain, car exhaust fumes, and oil spills c. water spills, smog, and rubbish d. all are correct.72.

C/ Pollution caused by chemicals from car exhaust fumes and smoke from factories is a very serious problem because it leads to the loss of the ozone layer. All of us know that without the ozone layer, not only human beings but also all plants and animals life are exposed to dangerous rays from the sun. Even refrigeration and air-conditioning system which make our lives more convenient can also have dangerous emissions. They emit poisonous gases into the air that we breathe.

The chemicals we use for cleaning and the waste from factories go into our water system and pollute the water that we drink and the fish that we eat. They also kill much of the wildlife we depend on food. Some of the pesticides and fertilizers we have sprayed on our crops have been found to be dangerous. This kind of pollution stays in the ground for a very long time.76.

are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Changing waste products into gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of waste.

Experimental work is being done to make synthetic fuels from coal, or coal tars. But today, that process has proved expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested.

Some experts are trying to revive hydroelectric power which is derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only four per cent. The oceans are another source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to change the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves into electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

Question IV : Read the following passage carefully. Make questions from the suggested words and answer them.(2p)

Different language learners learn words in different ways. Some learners make a list and put into it the meanings of new words in their mother tongue, and try to learn them by heart. However, others do not. Instead, they write one or two example sentences with each new word in order to remember how to use the word in the right way.

In order to remember words better, some learners even write each word and its use on a small piece of paper and stick it somewhere in their house so as to learn it any time.

Many language learners do not try to learn all new words they come across. They usually underline or highlight only the words they want to learn. This helps them remember important words.

Learners do not only learn the meanings of new words but also how to spell and pronounce them so as to use them in both writing and speaking.

There are also different ways of learning the same number of words. For example, if you try to learn ten words in two days, you can do so in two ways. You can learn the first five words the first day, and then learn the other five the next day. However, because revision is necessary, you can learn all the ten words the first day and revise them the next day. This helps you practise the words more times.

Language learners should try different ways of learning words so as to find out the best way for themselves. Ask yourself the question : How should I learn words?

1. Why /some learners / write example sentences / new words ?-_________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. What / some learners / do / to remember words better ?-_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Question IV : Read the following passage carefully. Make questions from the suggested words and answer them.(2p)

Jack London (1876-1916)Jack London’s life and writing are thought by many to represent the American love of nature. He was

born in San Francisco, California, and quit school at fourteen to become a sailor. He travelled a great deal during his short lifetime in the United States, Europe and the Far East.

ack London took a high place in American literature at the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, the library shelves and bookshops of America were already full of books by famous writers. But Jack London’s stories were new ones; his heroes were not like the ones in the books of other writers, and the pictures he painted were not the same as their pictures.

The men in Jack London’s books live a difficult life, a life full of danger. In his stories, Jack London shows us that in the terrible world a man must fall and die in the snow if he makes even the smallest mistake. But his heroes are afraid of nothing, and nothing can stop them. People in books by Jack London never lose hope; they never stop fighting for life even when the end of life seems very near. That is the lesson for people to learn in everything we want and everything we do; if we do not lose hope, we must and will win.

The guests usually bring presents and when they give you the present they say, “I’m sorry this is such a small present”, but in fact they have chosen the present very carefully. When the meal is ready, the hostess says, “We have nothing special for you today but you are welcome to come this way.” You can see that in Japan you should try to be modest and you should not show off too much. If you don’t understand our culture, you will think this is very strange.

Read the text carefully and then choose the correct answers:It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to

look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill.

How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day – once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay. 41. Good teeth mainly help us to ____.

A. look nice B. chew our food C. look important D. have good eyesight 42. When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth _______.

A. become hard B. make us feel quite ill C. begin to decay D. send poison into the blood 43. A lot of people do not visit a dentist until ____.
