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

Computers are now an important part of human life. Without them, the modern world will stop: nobody will be able to travel, work, shop, watch TV, get money, or send messages.

However, together with computers come viruses - a kind of computer program. They move from one computer to another and damage the memory or other parts of the computer. Some viruses are difficult to stop; they can damage millions of computers in a very short time. The first virus called Brain appeared in 1986. In 1987, a more dangerous virus called Jerusalem appeared. It stayed in the computer and did nothing until the date was Friday 13th when it started to damage the computer's memory.

By the late 1990s, most computers were part of the e-mail and Internet systems. This meant virus programs could do a lot of destruction very quickly. The Melissa virus, for example, could move from one computer to another by e-mail - it automatically sent itself to every other email address in the address book.

In an effort to fight against viruses, programmers wrote antivirus software. Virus programmers are getting better all the time, but so is the antivirus software. However, a virus is always spread before a remedy takes action. People believe that one day a computer virus will bring the whole world to a stop for a few hours, which may paralyze many nations' government systems and cost the lives of many people who are traveling in a plane or undergoing an important operation.

42. The first virus appeared _________.

A.In 1986 B. In 1987 C. In 1990 D. On Friday 13th

43. Computer viruses became extremely dangerous _________.

A.on Friday 13th

B. when the first virus called Brain was created

C. when computers were connected to e-mail and Internet systems

D. in 1987

44. Which statement is TRUE about computer viruses?

A.The Melissa virus is part of the Internet system.

B. The virus Jerusalem is harmless because it did nothing.

C. A computer virus can kill people.

D. computer virus is a program.

Health Benefits of Yoga

Yoga is a healthy lifestyle. One of the benefits of yoga is that you can choose a yoga style that is suitable for your lifestyle, such as hot yoga, power yoga, relaxation yoga, etc.   If you are a yoga beginner, Hatha Yoga, which focuses on basic postures at a comfortable pace, would be great for you. If you want to increase strength through using more of your own body’s resistance, Power Yoga may be right for you. Whether you prefer you're at home, in a private session, watching a DVD or at a studio or gym, there are a huge variety of optionsavailable to suit your goals and needs. Improved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga.  During your first class, you probably won’t be able to touch your toes. But if you stick with it, you’ll notice a gradual loosening, and eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become possible. Each of the yoga poses is built to reinforce the muscles around the spine, the very center of your body, which is the core from which everything else operates. When the core is working properly, posture is improved, thus alleviating back, shoulder, and neck pain. Strong muscles do more than look good.  They also protect us from conditions like arthritis and back pain, and help prevent falls in elderly people. And when you build strength through yoga, you balance it with flexibility. If you just went to the gym and lifted weights, you might build strength at the expense of flexibility. Yoga gets your blood flowing. More specifically, the relaxation exercises you learn in yoga can help your circulation, especially in your hands and feet. Yoga also gets more oxygen to your cells, which function better as a result. Twisting poses are thought to wring out venous blood from internal organs and allow oxygenated blood to flow in once the twist is released. Many studies found that a consistent yoga practice improved depression and led to greater levels of happiness and better immune function.

Question : According to yoga’s principles, the spine is of great importance because _____ .

A. when the spine is working properly, postures will become possible

B. seemingly impossible poses will become possible

C. it is the center of your body, from which other muscles operate

D. we can avoid back, shoulder, and neck pain

B. những tư thế dường như không thể sẽ trở thành có thể

C. nó là trung tâm của cơ thể của bạn, từ đó các cơ khác hoạt động

D. chúng ta có thể tránh đau lưng, vai và cổ

Thông tin: Each of the yoga poses is built to reinforce the muscles around the spine, the very center of your body, which is the core from which everything else operates.

Tạm dịch: Mỗi tư thế yoga được xây dựng để củng cố các cơ xung quanh xương sống, chính giữa cơ thể của bạn, là cốt lõi mà mọi thứ khác hoạt động.

=> According to yoga’s principles, the spine is of great importance because it is the center of your body, from which other muscles operate.

Choose from A, B, C, or D the one that best answers each of the questions. A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”. “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms. 51. What is the main topic of this passage? A. The nature of radar. B. History of radar. C. Alternatives to radar. D. Types of ranging. 52. According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects? A. Shape B. Size C. Speed D. Weight 53. The word “exemplified” in the passage can be replaced by_________. A. “specified” B. “resembled” C. “illustrated” D. “justified” 54. The word “shouts” in the passage most closely means_________. A. “exclaims” B. “yells” C. “shoots” D. “whispers” 55. Which of the following words best describes the tone of this passage? A. argumentative B. explanatory C. humorous D. imaginative 56. According to the passage, the distance between a radar set and an object can be determined by_________. A. the time it takes for a burst of radio waves to produce echoes when the waves bounce off the object B. the term “ranging” used for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set C. the time it takes for the radio waves to produce echoes and bounce off the object D. the time it takes for the echoes produced by the radio waves to return to the radar set 57. Which type of waves does radar use? A. tidal B. sound C. heat D. radio 58. The word “tracking” in the passage most closely means_________. A. sending B. searching for C. ranging D. repairing 59. Which of the following would most likely be the topic of the next paragraph? A. A history of flying. B. Other uses of radar. C. The technology used by pilots. D. Uses of some technology. 60.
