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 36 to 42.
	It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more energy. 
 	One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer's body and mind. In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure bet to give a person energy. 
 	Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person's energy level. Another problem is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy drinks work together. 
 	Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all the claims energy drinks make. He says, “It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will get a good result.” However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact on the body. “We just don't know at this point,” he says.
Câu 36: The beverages mentioned in the first paragraph aim to give consumers ______.
A. more choices	B. more energy	C. sugar	D. caffeine
Câu 37: The word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. Red Bull	B. the company	C. one example	D. thirst quencher
Câu 38: According to the passage, what makes it difficult for researchers to know if an energy drink gives people energy?
A. The average age of the consumer	B. The number of beverage makers
C. Natural chemicals in a person‘s body	D. The mixture of various ingredients
Câu 39: The word plausible in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.
A. typical	B. unlikely	C. reasonable	D. impossible
Câu 40: What has Dr. Bauer probably researched?
A. Countries where Red Bull is popular	B. Habits of healthy and unhealthy adults
C. Energy drinks for teenage athletes	D. Vitamins and chemicals in the body
Câu 41: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It has been scientifically proved that energy drinks work.
B. Colas have been on the market longer than energy drinks.
C. The makers of Red Bull say that it can revitalize a person.
D. Bauer does not seem to believe the claims of energy drink makers.
Câu 42: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Teenagers should not choose energy drinks.
B. Caffeine is bad for people to drink.
C. It is uncertain whether energy drinks are healthy.
D. Red Bull is the best energy drink.
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. 
ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS
Paul Watson is an environmental activist. He is a man who believes that he must do something, not just talk about doing something. Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and he protects them in controversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much. Other people think that he is a criminal.
On July 16th, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea Shepherd. Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal. However, they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra. The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea. The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada. Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful.
The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crew of the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten.
Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra. However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal whaling ship, and he sank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales must be protected. Still, he acted without the approval of the government; therefore, his actions were controversial.
Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fighting to protect the Earth. Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and like Watson, they have become impatient. Yet, because of their concern for the environment, they will act to protect it.
Câu 43: According to the reading, an environmental activist is someone who ____
A. talks about protecting endangered species	B. runs into whaling ship
C. is a hero, like Paul Watson	D. does something to protect the Earth
Câu 44: When something is controversial, ____
A. people have different ideas about it	B. everyone disagrees with it
C. everyone agrees with it	D. people protect it
Câu 45: The members of a ship’s crew are ____.
A. the people who own the ship
B. the men and women who work on the ship
C. the people who work on the airplanes
D. all of the people on a ship, including the passengers
Câu 46: The main idea of paragraph one is that ____.
A. Paul Watson is a controversial environmental activist
B. Paul Watson is a hero to some people
C. activists are people who do something
D. Paul Watson does not believe in talking
Câu 47: The author implies that Paul Watson lives in ____
A. a ship on the Atlantic	B. the Sierra
C. Canada	D. Portugal
Câu 48: In paragraph 3 the phrase “and froze it” refers to ____.
A. whale meat	B. the Sierra	C. the Sierra crew	D. whales
Câu 49: The main idea of paragraph 3 is that ____ .
A. the Sierra sold whale meat in some countries
B. whaling is illegal according to international law.
C. the people on the Sierra didn’t obey international laws.
D. the people on the Sierra killed as many whales as they could.
Câu 50: Watson ran into the Sierra because ____ .
A. he wanted to stop the ship’s crew from whaling
B. All of the above are correct.
C. he wanted to protect the whales from the whalers
D. he was impatient with the government’s actions
