Wondering how to stop going grey, or white, or silver? Well, help may be at hand. Scientists have discovered the drug the body uses to give our hair its natural colour. They hope they can recreate this drug and use it to prevent people’s hair from turning white. The goal is to make a shampoo that contains the drug 5 so that our hair will stay its natural colour throughout our life. This would keep us all looking ten years younger. Söu taàm: Leâ Maäu Thaønh Trang 3/9 Ñeà thi tuyeån sinh sau ñaïi hoïc Ñôït 1/2009 – Ñaïi hoïc KHXH & NV TP.HCM The researchers are from Germany and England. They were researching the causes of hair turning white because of illness or stress. The scientists conducted test on the hair of six women aged between 46 and 65. They were able to reverse the process that caused 10 the hair to lose its colour. Lead researcher Dr Ralf Paus said the technique could be used as an “anti-greying agent” in the future. However, he warned it was still too early in the testing process to give more details. He was not able to say whether he thought his discovery would make white hair a thing of the past. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. White hair is unavoidable B. Stress may change our hair colour C. White hair may be a thing of the past D.

When the winter weather is bad, bison have hard time finding grazing land. They leave Yellowstone in search of food. Bison wander into the forests of southern Montana. The state of Montana does not want bison to leave the park. Stray bison can infect 5 nearby cattle and make them sick. Brucellosis is the sickness, and it causes pregnant cattle to lose their babies. In the past thirty years, Montana has spent thirty-four million trying to get rid of brucellosis. Using snowmobiles and helicopters, Montana officials chase the bison back into the park. If the bison won’t go, then they are shot and killed. In 1996, thousands of bison 10 couldn’t find food and left the park to find some. More than a thousand bison were Caâu 41 Söu taàm: Leâ Maäu Thaønh Trang 4/9 Ñeà thi tuyeån sinh sau ñaïi hoïc Ñôït 1/2009 – Ñaïi hoïc KHXH & NV TP.HCM killed. Since 1997, more than 4,000 bison have been hazed back to Yellowstone and only 317 bison have been shot. Volunteers ski into snowy areas to find wandering bison. The volunteers use two-way radios to stay in touch with each other. They want to get the bison back into Yellowstone 15 so they won’t be hazed or killed. Volunteers race to find the bison. Finding stray bison is costly to taxpayers. Huge herds of bison are in Yellowstone now, and there are at least one thousand too many. If more of the wild bison get loose, they will be killed. Montana cattle are a billion-dollar industry. Cattlemen and state officials will protect the cattle even if the bison are endangered. Volunteers are trying to keep bison in Yellowstone National Park because_______ A. the winters in Montana have been severe B. bison leave the park in search of food and get lost C. bison could get brucellosis from nearby cattle D. bison could infect cattle in the area Caâu 47 “hazed” in line 15 is closest in meaning to _________ A. chased B. harmed C. hurt D. destroyed Caâu 48 If the bison wouldn’t go back to the park they would be _________ A. shot B. infected with brucellosis C. hunted by poachers D. threatened to be extinct Caâu 49 Cattlemen protect their cattle by __________ A. killing stray bison B. chasing bison back to the park C. acting as volunteers to find bison D. paying for bison’s food Caâu 50 Brucellosis _____________. A. is an infectious disease B. killed more than a thousand bison in 1997 C. killed pregnant cattle D. has been recently discovered C.

The panel, made up of representatives from over 120 countries, believes we can limit the harm greenhouse gases do to the atmosphere. The panel indicated that we can keep our Earth safe by changing the way use energy around the world. Most 5 important is to introduce more fuel-efficient vehicles and household goods. For this to happen, individuals need to change their lifestyles and spending patterns. Report co-author Pete Smith said: “We can go a long way to addressing this problem at relatively low costs with a range of options.” He calculated that it would cost less than three percent of world economic output by 2030. He added: “We’ve got a big problem 10 on our hands but this report provides governments with a way out.” The “big problem” is Caâu 46 Söu taàm: Leâ Maäu Thaønh Trang 5/9 Ñeà thi tuyeån sinh sau ñaïi hoïc Ñôït 1/2009 – Ñaïi hoïc KHXH & NV TP.HCM the damage rising temperatures are doing to the Earth.

The industry associated with the national delicacy is facing increasing pressure to reduce environmental pollution caused by its discarded packaging. An estimated 3.6 billion containers for take-away British chips and their continental cousins, French fries and pomfrites, and thrown away each year. Apart from 5 conventional paper wrapping, it is estimated that almost one billion plastic and cardboard plates are dumped each year in Britain alone after fish and chip lovers have had their fill. Later this month, a new product will be launched which, its manufacturers claim, will 10 help reduce the 22,000 tons of European paper associated with the food. The new product, an edible chip cone, is biodegradable and, say its makers, even tastes like a chip. Fast food shops will now be able to serve portions in the new cone, which can be Söu taàm: Leâ Maäu Thaønh Trang 6/9 Ñeà thi tuyeån sinh sau ñaïi hoïc Ñôït 1/2009 – Ñaïi hoïc KHXH & NV TP.HCM eaten itself, after its contents have been consumed, therefore leaving no litter. The Dutch manufacturers, Viko, point out that if people prefer not to eat the product, they can throw it in a litter bin where it will decompose naturally within a few days. The new cone – approximately 10 inches high, the right size for a medium portion of chips – is made from powdered potato, wheat flour, vegetable oil and salt. The packaging, however, is more expensive than the conventional wrapping and the customer may have to foot the bill for extra cost. Caâu 56: The passage is mainly concerned with __________. A. a new kind of food B. the British people’s eating habit C. a new product that is environmentally friendly D. the yearly large amount of discarded packaging in Britain. Caâu 57: Fish and chips cause environmental problems because __________.

Caâu 58: How will the new product solve the problem? A. It can be used again. B. It is in a different shape. C. People can eat it. D. It lasts longer than paper. Caâu 59: All of the following are the ingredients of the new cone EXCEPT __________. A. powdered potato B. wheat flour C. salt D. vegetable Caâu 60: Chips served in the new cone ___________. A. will be larger than those served in paper wrapping B. will taste better than those served in plastic C. will cost more than those served in paper D. will be easier to eat than other chips V.
