Greek philosopher Plato wrote of a scale called the ‘golden proportion’, according to which the width of the face should be two-thirds of its length, preferably accompanied by a nose no longer than the distance between the eyes Symmetry has been proved to be attractive to the human (32) , so a face may seem beautiful because of the similarity between its two sides Babies spend more time looking at symmetrical faces than asymmetrical ones and symmetry is also (33) as more attractive by adults looking at photos So although there seems to be no (34) universal agreement or even national consensus on what (35) beauty, there is at least some agreement that facial symmetry is an important factor In the meantime, if you look at your partner and (36) them as beautiful, you can

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42 Tequila is created from one of the hundred species of agave, which was discovered as a source of alcohol by the ancient Aztecs In the 1500s, it was used to create an alcoholic beverage called octli, which was sour and not tasty But later, the Spanish used the distillation process to create mezcal Finally, doubledistilling was used with a special type of agave known as agave azul, or blue agave in English (scientifically known as agave tequilana weber), and tequila was born Creating tequila is a long, involved process The plant is to 12 years old before it can be used The plant itself resembles a huge green aloe plant To maintain the potency of the agave, the leaves are periodically cut back Finally, when the plant has reached the proper age and weight, the leaves are cut and workers known as Jimadors use a special hoe-type tool called a coa to remove the huge heart from the ground The heart is large, brown, hard, and heavy, weighing 80 or more pounds It is filled with a sweet sapreferred to as agua miel, or honey water, which is actually the source of the tequila The heavy roots are then carried to trucks on the backs of burrows At the processing plant, the roots are chopped into quarters with machetes and carried on conveyor belts to huge ovens where they are baked for four days at 120 degrees Celsius Next, they are placed in a dark room for a day or so, and finally, they are thrown onto a conveyor belt, which runs them through a shredding machine, where they are ground to a pulp As they are ground, the liquid is released and falls into collectors below The pulp continues to be run through additional shredders where it is further crushed and manipulated so that all the juice is released The liquid is sent by a hose to an aluminum vat where yeast is added, and it is kept at a cool temperature for two days Next, the liquid is transported via another hose to an open vat, where the yeast assists in the natural fermentation process Then, approximately 10 percent of the liquid continues in the process, and the balance is discarded The liquid is then sent by hoses to other vats to be distilled twice in order to achieve the desired purity It is measured and tested at every step Finally, when it has reached the proper temperature, it is transported by another hose or a tanker truck to the bottling plant If it will be a select brand, it is placed in oak vats to be aged, which allows the distillate to mellow and affects the color slightly In the bottling area, a machine fills the bottles, which are measured by an attendant The bottles then travel on a conveyor belt to several different workers, one who affixes the large label, another the neck label, another the top, another the tape over the top, and so on Then workers meticulously clean and polish the bottles and peer through the glass for impurities Finally, the bottles are boxed and transported for wholesale or retail sale Question 36 According to the passage, blue agave is A: one of over 100 species of agave B: used to make mezcal C: very rare D: used to make octli A Prepared by Lê Luận 01647 057 038 Om Mani Padme

Kĩ cần kiểm tra: Đọc tóm tắt ý 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 from 43 to 50 NUCLEAR WEAPONS It is generally well known that in a number of particularly dangerous parts of the world, for example the Middle East and the India/ Pakistan border region, there are countries which either possess or have the technology to produce nuclear weapons It is also worth remembering, however, that the country which possesses more nuclear weapons than any other, the United States, is the only power ever to have used nuclear weapons against people Nuclear weapons were first developed in the United States during the Second World War, to be used against Germany However, by the time the first bombs were ready for use, the war with Germany had ended and, as a result, the decision was made to use the weapons against Japan instead Hiroshima and Nagasaki have suffered the consequences of this decision to the present day 10 Prepared by Lê Luận 01647 057 038 Om Mani Padme Hum The real reasons why bombs were dropped on two heavily-populated cities are not altogether clear A number of people in 1944 and early 1945 argued that the use of nuclear weapons would be unnecessary, since American Intelligence was aware that some of the most powerful and influential people in Japan had already realized that the war was lost, and wanted to negotiate a Japanese surrender It was also argued that, since Japan has few natural resources , a blockade by the American navy would force it to surrender within a few weeks, and the use of nuclear weapons would thus prove unnecessary If a demonstration of force was required to end the war, a bomb could be dropped over an unpopulated area like a desert, in front of Japanese observers, or over an area of low population inside Japan, such as a forest Opting for this course of action might minimize the loss of further lives on all sides, while the power of nuclear weapons would still be adequately demonstrated All of these arguments were rejected, however, and the general consensus was that the quickest way to end the fighting would be to use nuclear weapons against centres of population inside Japan In fact, two of the more likely reasons why this decision was reached seem quite shocking to us now Since the beginning of the Second World War, both Germany and Japan had adopted a policy of genocide (i.e killing as many people as possible, including civilians) Later on, even the US and Britain had used the strategy of fire bombing cities (Dresden and Tokyo, for example) in order to kill, injure and intimidate as many civilians as possible Certainly, the general public in the West had become used to hearing about the deaths of large numbers of people, so the deaths of another few thousand Japanese, who were the enemy in any case, would not seem particular unacceptable- a bit of “justifiable” revenge for the Allies’own losses, perhaps The second reason is not much easier to comprehend Some of the leading scientists in the world had collaborated to develop nuclear weapons, and this development had resulted in a number of major advances in technology and scientific knowledge As a result, a lot of normal, intelligent people wanted to see nuclear weapons used; they wanted to see just how destructive this new invention could be It no doubt turned out to be even more “effective” than they had imagined Question 43 In paragraph 1, the writer is suggesting that _ A: The United States could potentially use nuclear weapons again B: The United States is more likely than other countries to use nuclear weapons C: The United States should, if necessary, use nuclear weapons again D: The United States is one of several countries to have used nuclear weapons A Dựa vào câu cuối đoạn đầu: It is also worth remembering, however, that the country which possesses more nuclear weapons than any other, the United States, is the only power ever to have used nuclear weapons against people (Tuy nhiên, cần phải nhớ nước sở hữu vũ khí hạt nhân nhiều quốc gia Mỹ Mỹ cường quốc sử dụng vũ khí hạt nhân để chống lại người) ta chọn đáp án "The United States could potentially use nuclear weapons again" với ngụ ý Mỹ làm việc lần Kĩ cần kiểm tra: Đọc lấy ý đoạn Question 44 How many reasons against using the weapons are given in paragraph 3? A: two B: five C: three D: four C 11 Prepared by Lê Luận 01647 057 038 Om Mani Padme Hum Đoạn đề cập đến lý chống lại định ném bom là: Lúc quan American Intelligence biết Nhật thua định yêu cầu Nhật đầu hàng; Nhật có tài nguyên hải quân Mỹ bao vây Nhật đầu hàng vài tuần; Nếu thật cần đến sức mạnh để chấm dứt chiến tranh bom thả nơi có người sinh sống trược mũi Nhật sa mạc hay rừng để giảm thiểu tổn thất cho phía mà sức mạnh bom nguyên tử thể rõ ràng Kĩ cần kiểm tra: Đọc tóm tắt ý Question 45 What does “this” refer to in paragraph 3?

(Lý thật cho định chưa đưa rõ ràng) Kĩ cần kiểm tra: Đọc đoán ý tác giả Question4 According to paragraph 5, which of the following is true? A: scientists thought only a few thousand people would die if the bombs were used B: people in the West would accept that some people had to die to end the war C: people in the West had got used to hearing the sounds of people dying D: it would be probably not be wise to inform people in the West of the deaths B Ở đoạn 5, tác giả nói nước Đức, Nhật chí Anh Mỹ thực sách tàn sát người nên người dân phương Tây quen nghe việc số lượng lớn người bị chết Chính chết vài nghìn người Nhật (lúc kẻ thù họ) điều bình 12 Prepared by Lê Luận 01647 057 038 Om Mani Padme Hum thường chí coi trả thù công cho mát Liên quân Hay nói cách khác, người dân phương Tây coi việc người Nhật chết điều đương nhiên để kết thúc chiến tranh Kĩ cần kiểm tra: Đọc đoán ý tác giả Question 49 The first sentence of paragraph suggests the writer believes that A: his presentation of the argument in paragraph is difficult to understand B: the decisions were complex and made by highly intelligent people C: The decisions were made by intelligent people and were difficult to follow D: the reasons given for the decision are hard for us to accept nowadays D Câu đầu đoạn hiểu là: Lý thứ không dễ dàng chấp nhận cuối đoạn tác giả nói lý thật làm thấy sốc Kĩ cần kiểm tra: Đọc đoán ý tác giả Question 50 In the last sentence of paragraph 6, the writer implies that _ A: he agrees with the decision to use nuclear weapons against Japan B: the weapons proved to be effective because Japan surrendered soon after C: he thinks the decision to drop nuclear bombs on Japanese cities was wrong D: nuclear weapons worked much better than the scientists probably expected C Đọc câu cuối đoạn trích thấy tác giả không ủng hộ việc ném bom (Rõ ràng chí tàn phá họ tưởng tượng) Ở tác giả sử dụng từ ‘effective’ ngoặc để nhấn mạnh ý nghĩa khác thường từ Kĩ cần kiểm tra: Đọc đoán ý tác giả 13 Prepared by Lê Luận 01647 057 038
