Question 17-20: Read and choose the correct answer

THE STORY OF SADAKO SASAKI AND THE THOUSAND PAPER CRANES
Sadako Sasaki was two years old when the atomic bomb devastated Hiroshima on August 6th 1945. The blast threw
her out of the window and although she survived, she and her mother were caught in the nuclear fallout. Her
grandmother went back to the house to get something and was never seen again.
Years went by and Sadako led to a normal childhood up until November 1954, when aged 11, she was diagnosed
with leukemia and told that she only had a year to live. Leukemia was highly prevalent at that time along with
several other cancers, and it became evident that this was largely due to the effects of the bombing nine years before
In the hospital, Sadako’s roommate told her of an old Japanese legend, which says that of you fold 1000 paper
cranes, you will be granted one wish from the gods.
Some versions of the story say that Sadako made 644 origami cranes before dying peacefully in her sleep, and her
friends made the remaining 356 in her honor. However, an exhibit at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum said
she had achieved her goal in August 1955 and continued to fold more cranes right up until her death.
Either way, Sadako Sasaki’s condition sadly continued to deteriorate and she died on October 25th 1995 at the age of
12. She was buried with all 1000 paper cranes.
Following Sadako’s death, her friends and schoolmates raised funds to build a memorial to her and all the other
children who had died as a result of the atomic bomb. Statues of Sadako holding cranes can be found in both
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Seattle Peace Park, the former of which bears the following words: “This is our
cry. This is our prayer. Peace in the world”.
The story of Sadako Sasaki and the thousand paper cranes has become known internationally as a reminder of the
effects of war on the innocent. It is told in many schools on the anniversary of the effects of war on the innocent. It is
told in many schools on the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing and people all over Japan celebrate August 6th as
an annual peace day.
Everyday, children bring origami cranes to Sadako’s statue in memory of her and all the other innocent children who
have died as a result of war. The crane has long been a symbol of hope and longevity, but in Sadako’s memory, it
has also become as a symbol of peace.
17. How old was Sadako Sasaki when the atomic bomb devastated Hiroshima?

B. Read through the text and choose one answer for each question Thomas A. Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home. When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train that ran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage care of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. Thomas was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car. Thomas then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, for $40,000. A stock-ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on a tape. He was then able to build his first shop in Newark, New Jersey. Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He called himself a "two-shift man" because he worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat. Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18, 1931, at his estate in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world. 1. When did he move to Michigan? 2 điểm For two months In 1847 At the age of seven Seven years ago. 2.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Any list of the greatest thinkers in history contains the name of the brilliant physicist Albert Einstein. His theories of relativity led to entirely new ways of thinking about time, space, matter, energy, and gravity. Einstein's work led to such scientific advances as the control of atomic energy, even television as a practical application of Einstein's work. In 1902 Einstein became an examiner in the Swiss patent office at Bern. In 1905, at age 26, he published the first of five major research papers.

The first one provided a theory explaining Brownian movement, the zig-zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension. The second paper laid the foundation for the photon, or quantum, theory of light. In it he proposed that light is composed of separate packets of energy, called quanta or photons, that have some of the properties of particles and some of the properties of waves. A third paper contained the "special theory of relativity" which showed that time and motion are relative to the observer, if the speed of light is constant and the natural laws are the same everywhere in the universe.

The fourth paper was a mathematical addition to the special theory of relativity. Here Einstein presented his famous formula, E = mc², known as the energy mass equivalence. In 1916, Einstein published his general theory of relativity. In it he proposed that gravity is not a force, but a curve in the space-time continuum, created by the presence of mass. Einstein spoke out frequently against nationalism, the exalting of one nation above all others. He opposed war and violence and supported Zionism, the movement to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, they denounced his ideas.

He then moved to the United States. In 1939 Einstein learned that two German chemists had split the uranium atom. Einstein wrote to President Franklin D.Roosevelt warning him that this scientific knowledge could lead to Germany developing an atomic bomb. He suggested the United States begin its own atomic bomb research.

Einstein's primary work was in the area of_________.

A. chemistry

B. biology

C. physics

D. engineering

Climb every mountain Stephen Venables’ love of mountains began at nine years old on a skiing trip to the Alps. ‘I was thrilled,’ he remembers. ‘It was actually far more impressive and exciting than seeing the Himalayas for the first time, because when you’re nine it’s all new and you don’t know what to expect.’

From that moment, Stephen knew that he wanted to climb mountains, but he didn’t realise then that one day he would be the first British man to climb Everest without oxygen. However, his record-breaking expedition in 1988 was not an easy one. 1 ___ After years of climbing, he was prepared for this and he knew that the best thing he could do was wait for the weather to change.

‘At first I tried sitting on a rock because rock is warmer than snow, but it wasn’t completely flat. I really wanted to lie down so I decided to cut a ledge in the snow. I did sleep a bit,’ he says. ‘They always say you should stay awake but I was totally exhausted.’ Fortunately, the storm passed, and Stephen managed to climb back down to his camp and enter the record books.

The Everest expedition wasn’t Stephen’s only difficult climb. 2 ___ ‘It was very unlucky that it happened, but I was lucky that there were five of us.’ The group included Chris Bonnington and Stephen’s good friend Harish Kapadia. It took them twelve hours to make camp in a safe place. Then two of the team went for help.

‘I think that was one of the most wonderful moments of my life – finally being in the tent and realising that I could just lie back in my sleeping bag.’ 3 ___ By that time, there was almost no food left. ‘On the last day we had a boiled sweet and we used the last tea bag so many times that it wasn’t actually changing the colour of the water.’ But luckily, the team managed to keep going until help arrived.

1 What happened to Stephen Venables when he was nine years old?

a He was able to compare two different mountain ranges.

b He realised where he would like to live in the future.

c He decided what he wanted to do in his life.

2 What is the writer’s purpose in this article?

a To describe the best way to climb a mountain.

b To tell the story of a mountain climber.

c To explain why mountain climbing is dangerous.

9 Read the text again. Match sentences A–E with gaps 1–3. There are two extra sentences.

A But Stephen didn’t know then that the rescue would take four days.

B While he was climbing Everest, he met the climber Chris Bonnington for the first time.

C In 1992, while climbing another Himalayan mountain, he fell 100 m, breaking both his legs.

D It was the second time that he needed medical attention because of his injuries.

E He was coming down from the top of the mountain when he was caught in a snowstorm.
