The relationship between teachers and students is less formal in the US (26)____ in many other countries, especially 
at college level . American college students do not stand up (27) ____ their teachers enter or leave the classroom. man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews because he thought other news sources were 
giving people an unbalanced view of the world. Reese said about HappyNews, “The news media gives you a 
distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad news, misery, and despair. We’re trying to balance out the scale.” 
Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a responsibility to 
provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems in today’s society. Then they 
are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their daily lives. Reese said that HappyNews is 
not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems. HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced 
picture of today’s world. 
By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60 percent of those 
readers were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of the other news or information 
websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites, HappyNews gets fan mail from its readers on a daily 
basis.

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. 
No sooner had the first intrepid male aviators safely returned to Earth than it seemed that women, too, had been 
smitten by an urge to fly. From mere spectators, they became willing passengers and finally pilots in their own right, 
plotting their skills and daring line against the hazards of the air and the skepticism of their male counterparts. In 
doing so they enlarged the traditional bounds of a women's world, won for their sex a new sense of competence and 
achievement, and contributed handsomely to the progress of aviation. 
But recognition of their abilities did not come easily. "Men do not believe us capable." The famed aviator Amelia 
Earhart once remarked to a friend. "Because we are women, seldom are we trusted to do an efficient job." Indeed 
old attitudes died hard: when Charles Lindbergh visited the Soviet Union in 1938 with his wife, Anne–herself a 
pilot and gifted proponent of aviation – he was astonished to discover both men and women flying in the Soviet Air 
Force. 
Such conventional wisdom made it difficult for women to raise money for the up – to – date equipment they needed 
to compete on an equal basis with men. Yet they did compete, and often they triumphed finally despite the odds. 
Ruth Law, whose 590 – mile flight from Chicago to Hornell, New York, set a new nonstop distance record in 1916, 
exemplified the resourcefulness and grit demanded of any woman who wanted to fly. And when she addressed the 
Aero Club of America after completing her historic journey, her plainspoken wordstestified to a universal human 
motivation that was unaffected by gender: "My flight was done with no expectation of reward," she declared, "just 
purely for the love of accomplishment." 
50: Which of the following is the best title for this passage? 
 A. A Long Flight B. Women in Aviation History 
 C. Dangers Faced by Pilots D. Women Spectators 
51: According to the passage, women pilots were successful in all of the following EXCEPT___. ĐỀ KIỂM TRA THAM KHẢO (UNIT 9-11)

Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth’s history called the Mesozoic Era, which is known as the Age of 
Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land 
with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge.
The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning “terrible lizard”. Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their appearance 
could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the 
size of most modern—day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 
to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however, some were actually no larger than a chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaur to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth’s climate. It is 
believed that temperature dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not 
having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species 
having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.
