Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct option to each of the questions that follow.
Glass fibers have a long history. By 1600 B.C., the Egyptians were producing coarse fibers, and as
early as 1375 B.C., fibers were used as ornaments on Egyptian pottery. Glassmakers in Venice employed
glass fibers to adorn the exterior of simple glass vessels throughout the Renaissance, which took place in the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries A.D. But glassmakers were so secretive about their trade that no one wrote
about the creation of glass fiber until the early seventeenth century.
During the seventeenth century, "spun glass" fibers were created. French physicist Rene-Antoine de
Reaumur attempted to create glass feather substitutes. By spinning a wheel into a puddle of molten glass and
plucking glass threads where the hot, viscous liquid adhered to the wheel, he created fibers. Despite the short
and delicate nature of his fibers, he anticipated that spun glass threads as thin as spider silk would be flexible
enough to be woven into textiles. Glassmakers discovered at the beginning of the nineteenth century that
using a hot glass tube to extract fibers from molten glass produced longer, stronger fibers. The creators
wrapped a yarn reel with the cooling end of the thread and quickly spun it to extract additional fiber from the
molten glass. At fairs, it was the custom of itinerant craftsmen to spin glass fibers into decorations and
ornaments for collectors. However, this material proved to be unsuitable for most purposes, as the tattered,
brittle threads could only extend up to ten feet, which was the circle of the largest reels.
But by the middle of the 1870s, the finest glass fibers were finer than silk, and they could be combined
to create faux ostrich feathers that could be used to adorn hats or woven into garments. Spun glass cloth in
white had a silvery appearance, whereas fibers extracted from yellow-orange glass had a golden hue.
Before their thermal and electrical insulating qualities were recognised and techniques for creating continuous
filaments were discovered, glass fibers were essentially a novelty in the 1930s. Glass is supplied directly from
a glass-melting furnace into a bushing, a container punctured with hundreds of tiny nozzles, where it emerges
in fine streams, as part of the modern manufacturing process. The streams of glass are collected into a single
strand and wrapped onto a reel as they solidify.
Question 29. Which of the following aspects of glass fiber does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The major development in its production

Trang 4
B. Its relationship with pottery making
C. Important inventors in its long history
D. Modern applications of glass fibers
Question 30. The word coarse is closest in meaning to ______.
A. decorative B. natural C. crude D. weak
Question 31. Why was there nothing written about the making of Renaissance glass fiber until the
seventeenth century?
A. Glassmakers were unhappy with the quality of the fibers they could make.
B. Glassmakers did not want to reveal the methods they used.
C. Few people were interested in the Renaissance style of glass fibers.
D. Production methods had been well known for a long time.
Question 32. According to the passage, using a hot glass tube rather than a wheel to pull fibers from molten
glass made the fibers ______.
A. quicker to cool B. harder to bend
C. shorter and more easily broken D. longer and more durable
Question 33. The phrase this material refers to ______.

correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
Real, or original, pizza is an art: the pizzaiolo - the specialist pizza chef - is baker, fire stoker and cook.
A wood-burning oven is an essential part of the proceedings. However, before the pizzas get to the fire, they
have to be properly shaped and it was this procedure that was causing me all the grief.
Francesco Sarritzu, the pizzaiolo at The Park restaurant in Queen's Park, London, where I went to be
trainee for the evening, made it look easy. He showed me what to do and I tried to take it in. The chilled
dough balls, pre-weighed at 170g, were all ready in a special fridge below the work counter. The dough was
sticky and Francesco worked fast. First, it was dropped into a large pile of flour and then it was mixed with a
small handful of polenta.
From here it was all hands. He pressed out the dough with his fingers, all the time working in flour and
pressing the edges out until a small round circle had emerged. He then threw it into his hands, twirling it to
shake off the excess flour. He did not toss it in the air. "Tossing is for show,' he said disdainfully. "It is not
necessary.' Once the flour was shaken off, he put the dough onto the steel work surface with one half of it
hanging over the edge. One hand pressed and stretched and the other pulled in the opposite direction. Before
you could say 'pizza Margherita', there was a perfect circle ready to be topped.
I moved nervously into position to have a go at achieving the same result myself. I scooped up a piece
of dough from its snug tray. It immediately stuck to my fingers and when I threw it at the flour, it just
remained stuck. I had to pull it off. The first bit is easy, or so it seems, but unless you follow the right
procedure you sow the seeds of later failure.
The object is to press out the edges, not the centre, using the flour to dry out the stickiness. However,
the temptation to press everything in sight to make it stretch into a circular shape is too strong; before I knew

Trang 5
it, I had thick edges and a thin centre. Then, a hole appeared in the centre. I was defeated. My second pizza
went where the first one had gone: on the fire. We all watched it go up in flames.
Later Francesco showed me that there was a point in the deep oven away from the fire, where the
pizzas go when they are first put into the oven. That is putting the long handle deep into the oven, feeling the
heat on the arms, and bringing it back sharply.
Question 34. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The ingredients of pizza making
B. The difficulties of pizza making
C. The devices for pizza making
D. The techniques of pizza making
Question 35. The word “temptation” in paragraph 5 is opposite in meaning to ______.

Question 36. All of the following is true about how Francesco made pizza EXCEPT ______.
A. stretching the dough
B. pressing out the dough
C. shaking off the flour
D. tossing it into the air

A. ingredient B. device C. utensil D. appliance
Question 38. The word "It" in paragraph 4 refers to
A. position B. tray C. dough D. result
Question 39. The passage indicates that the second pizza the author made______.
A. got burnt B. was successful
C.looked mouth-washing D. tasted delicious
Question 40. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Not all the positions in the oven to first put pizzas in are of equal importance.
B. Every pizza chef is aware of where pizzas should be first put.
C. Temperature felt on the arms does not affect the quality of pizzas.

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 34 to 40.
In a statistical report released by WHO, around 13 million deaths happen each year due to
environmental issues. To make it worse, multiple diseases are a result of surviving in a low-quality
environment. Lung diseases, asthma, stroke, issues in the heart are some of the examples. Green living such as
making environment-friendly and sustainable food choices, energy conservation can help reduce pollution to
some extent.
Firstly, the consumption of healthier foods can contribute to reducing pollution. People can start by
consuming eco-friendly foods by buying from local farmers, buying organic and seasonal foods, etc. They are
made of fewer pesticides that go into human bodies. Too much exposure to pesticides harms the natural
hormones present in the human body and as a result, people face many health issues like lack of immunity,
hormonal changes and also cancer.
Secondly, through energy conservation, people are saving both natural resources as well as money.
The light bulbs and other electrical appliances that are available in the market produce 2.3 billion tons of
carbon dioxide, which pollutes the air severely. Today there are LED bulbs available in the market that are
eco-friendly and also save energy. Using such energy-efficient appliances reduces up to 30% of the annual
electricity bill.
