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 51 to 60.
Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments.
Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new
life. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries , several European nations instituted public-welfare programs.
Trang 3/5 M thi 01 - Khi D

But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization
and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work
could find a job.
Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of
the programs - Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the
paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly
income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who
need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65, when
the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not
have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly
Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the
anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance
programs.These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase
food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes.
Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of
private charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States,
especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do
volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity.
Question 51: New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from ____________.

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 71 to 80.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun and hides at least
some part of the Sun from the earth. In a partial eclipse, the Moon covers part of the
Sun; in an annular eclipse, the Moon covers the center of the Sun, leaving a bright
ring of light around the Moon; in a total eclipse, the Sun is completely covered by the
Moon.
It seems rather improbable that a celestial body the size of the Moon could
completely block out the tremendously immense Sun, as happens during a total
eclipse, but this is exactly what happens. Although the Moon is considerably smaller in
size than the Sun, the Moon is able to cover the Sun because of their relative distances
from Earth. A total eclipse can last up to 7 minutes, during which time the Moon's shadow
moves across Earth at a rate of about 6 kilometers per second.
Question 71: This passage mainly___
A. describes how long an eclipse will last
B. gives facts about the Moon
C. explains how the Sun is able to obscure the Moon
D. informs the reader about
solar eclipses

A. A partial eclipse
B. An annular eclipse
C. A total eclipse D. A celestial
eclipse

Question 74: A "celestial body" in line 5 is most probably one that is found
A. somewhere in the sky
B. within the Moon's shadow
C. on the surface of the Sun
D. inside Earth's atmosphere
Question 75: What is the meaning of "block out" in line 5?
A. square
B. cover
C. evaporate
D. shrink
Question 76: According to the passage, how can the Moon hide the Sun during a total
eclipse?
A. The fact that the Moon is closer to Earth than the Sun makes up for the Moon's
smaller size.
B. The Moon can only obscure the Sun because of the Moon's great distance from
the earth.
C. Because the Sun is relatively close to Earth, the Sun can be eclipsed by the
Moon.
D. The Moon hides the Sun because of the Moon's considerable size.
Question 77: The word "relative" in line 7 could best be replaced by___.
A. familial
B. infinite
C. comparative
D. paternal
