The Most Powerful Force in Space
A black hole is a spot in space that has incredibly powerful gravity. A black hole’s
gravity is so strong that it pulls everything nearby into it. It can pull stars, planets, and other
things.
Nothing can escape a black hole. In fact, they are so powerful that even light cannot escape
them.
Scientists first started talking about black holes in the year 1783. That year, one scientist
said that in the universe, there might be places with gravity strong enough to trap light.

Trang 4
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUỐC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 03

However, that scientist didn’t use the term “black hole”. The term “black hole” was
invented in 1967.
Black holes are formed when a star dies. When a star dies, it collapses. When that
happens, a huge amount of matter crowds into a very small space. The matter becomes very,
very dense. How much matter are we talking about? Imagine a star that is the size of ten
suns. Imagine fitting that amount of matter into New York City. That is what a black hole is
like. Its gravity is so powerful because it has so much matter.
However, not all black holes are huge. Scientists believe that some black holes are the
size of atoms. Although these black holes are tiny, they might have the same amount of
matter that a mountain has.
We can’t see black holes because they don’t have any light. They are completely
invisible. Scientists can guess where black holes are by studying nearby stars and planets. If
gravity seems to be pulling the stars and planets to one spot, then scientists believe that the
spot is a black hole.
Some people wonder if a black hole could ever destroy the Earth. We do not need to
worry about that. There is no black hole that is close enough to destroy the Earth. The
closest black hole is about 7,800 light years away. In addition, the sun is not big enough to
create a black hole.
36. When are black holes formed?
A. When a new star is formed B. When a planet collapses
C. When two suns crash into each other D. When a star dies
37. How do scientists study black holes?
A. They look at nearby stars. B. They look at the black holes
C. They look at the sun. 38. D. They visit the black holes.
Which statement is NOT true?
A. Black holes have very little matter.B. Black holes can be big or small.
C. We can’t see black holes. D. Nothing can escape a black
hole
39. Which of the following CAN’T be inferred from the passage? A. Scientists started
studying a black hole in 1967.
B. A black hole is invisible because it traps light.
C. The movement of stars and planets are affected by a nearby black hole
D. A black hole gets its name because it does not have any light.
40. The word “them” in paragraph 1 refers to________.
A. planets B. gravitation C. empty spaces D. black holes

Organic Farming: The New Vacation
In 1971, Sue Coppard worked as a secretary in London. While she enjoyed city life, Sue
also missed the countryside where she spent most of her time as a child. So she offered to
help out on a farm, or more specifically, an organic farming programme organized by a
nearby college. She got a few people to volunteer as well, and they spent the weekend doing
“housework,” which involved clearing bushes and cleaning drains. Afterwards, the farm
managers said they could come back anytime to help out.
Sue put a small ad in a magazine, offering people the chance to volunteer at the organic
farm. The volunteer programme grew quickly, and soon other organic farmers joined in,
asking for people to help out. With so many people and farms involved, someone needed to
organize the different groups. A few of the original volunteers started WWOOF (World
Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) to help volunteers and farmers find one another.
Today, at least 50 different countries have WWOOF organizations, and many other
countries have individual farms that participate in the movement.
While WWOOF is still a weekend activity for some, it now welcomes travellers and
people who visit to live and work on farms for longer periods of time. WWOOF volunteers
can stay on a farm for weeks or even months at a time in exchange for hands-on farming
and gardening experience. The work can be exhausting, but volunteers think it’s worth it.
By working on farms, the volunteers interact with farmers and develop a love for the
outdoors and organic farming. Many travellers now use WWOOFing as a way to visit new
countries and experience new cultures.
As travellers will discover, every WWOOF opportunity is a bit different. In Serbia, you
can find Misa and Olja, a couple whose farm is known for its hard cheeses and for its bread
made from homegrown grains. Finca Amiruca, a farm in Ecuador, teaches volunteers how to
grow peanuts, plantains, and yucca. When volunteering in Japan, you may get to learn about
growing rice.
WWOOF is only one of the many unique volunteer opportunities available.
Volunteering is something that anyone can do, and a wide variety of organizations accept or
even welcome volunteers. So the next time you get the itch to be active on the weekend or
on vacation, why not look for a good cause to spend your energy on?
43. Why did Sue first work on a farm?
A. She was a student at the university. B. She needed money.
C. She missed the countryside. D. She did not enjoy the job.
44. More people joined the programme when Sue________.

spread to many different countries.
B. It has many more people volunteering for it.

The World's Smallest Science
Have you ever noticed that our machines are getting smaller? Cell phones, cameras,
computers and everything else look smaller every year. One kind of new science involves
machines that are smaller than we can imagine. The name of this science is nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology means doing science, engineering, and technology at a very, very small
level. In other words, nanotechnology is the science of tiny things. But how tiny is the
science of nanotechnology? In nanotechnology, scientists work with things that are the size
of a nanometer. One meter has one billion nanometers. Here is another way to describe
nanotechnology: it is the science of observing and controlling individual atoms and
molecules.
Nanotechnology is a new word, but the idea of studying atoms and molecules has
existed for a long time. In 1959, an American scientist Richard Phillips Feynman gave a
speech in which he claimed that we can see and control molecules and atoms. About ten
years later, a Japanese professor came up with the term “nanotechnology”.
Because nanotechnology is so new, we are only starting to understand how we can use
it. Nanotechnology could be very useful in medicine. In the future, doctors may use
nanotechnology to help with organ transplants. An organ transplant is the act of putting an
organ into another person's body. Scientists think that with nanotechnology, they might be
able to make a person's body accept a foreign organ. Nanotechnology might also help
doctors fight infections, find diseases in patients, and deliver medicine to the right spot in
patients’ bodies.
Nanotechnology might also be useful in protecting the environment. It might be able to
help us save energy, reduce waste, and keep water clean. For example, nanotechnology

Trang 11
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUỐC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 03

might be able to make some materials such as steel stronger. If we have stronger steel, we
will be able to use it longer. That way, we can produce less steel and save our resources.
Nanotechnology might be useful in so many ways. This science of studying tiny things
could change the world.
36. Around what year did people start using the word “nanotechnology”?
A. 1959 B. 1969 C. 1979 D. 1089
37. The word “which” in paragraph 3 refers to________.
A. nanotechnology B. the speech C. atom study D. the article
38. What does the word “foreign” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fake B. From another country
C. From another person’s body D. Real
39. What does the first sentence of the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Nanotechnology is new, so we are still learning about its uses.
B. Nanotechnology is not new, so we already know its uses.
C. We have no idea how we are going to use nanotechnology.
D. We used to understand nanotechnology more than we do now.
40. According to the passage, what will nanotechnology NOT do?
A. Find diseases B. Fight infections C. Reduce wastes D. Build organs 41. All of the
following are the advantages of using nanotechnology in medicine EXCEPT that________.
A. it helps doctors make and deliver medicine more accurately
B. it makes our bodies accept the organ transplants
C. it helps doctors prevent infectious diseases
D. it is also useful in medical examinations
42. Which statement is true?

Billboards that Recognize You
Have you ever felt you were being watched? Some new technologies might make you
feel that way. Digital billboards are being created that have the ability to recognize certain
characteristics. These high-tech devices have cameras pointed at the people on the street,
and software that tries to recognize people by age and gender. A computer inside the
billboard then uses this information to display ads that are directed at the people who are
looking at the billboard. For example, if a man passes a billboard featuring an ad for

Trang 12
BỘ ĐỀ THI THPT QUỐC GIA MÔN TIẾNG ANH Đề 03

cosmetics, the computer can change the ad to something that is more likely to catch the
man’s attention, such as a restaurant, or sporting goods.
While advertisers see this as a great opportunity to reach their target customers, some
people feel that this kind of profiling is an invasion of their privacy. People are now much
more aware of how information is exposed, shared, bought, and sold on the Internet. Now
this debate will include technologies such as these “smart” billboards. But advertisers claim
that they are sensitive to people’s concern about privacy - companies that have tested the
billboards in Japan and the US assure consumers that the billboards can only guess your age
and gender, but they will not be able to recognize your face or obtain any personal
information about you.
Until recently, this kind of “personal” advertising has been mostly limited to the
Internet. Search engines like Google and Bing can follow what we search for because each
computer that connects to those sites has a unique identity. Companies then pay search
engines to use this information to display ads for products and services that you have
searched for. So if you search for travel information, you are likely to see ads for airlines
and hotels. This kind of advertising has proven to be much more effective and valuable than
traditional advertising.
In addition to taking steps to deliver more personalized messages, advertisers are using
billboards to offer more useful information. Digital billboards can connect to the Internet to
display information such as the time, weather, and news headlines. In the future, this
technology could be used to reflect activity on social media sites or to broadcast ads that
relate to local events.
In today’s world, people ignore thousands of ads every day. Advertisers are trying to
change that trend by personalizing the experience of seeing an ad. So pay attention the next
time you see a billboard - it could be talking to you. Note: ad (n) = advertisement
43. What is another possible title for the passage?
A. The Dangers of Technology B. Billboards: Past and Present C. How Information
Is Sold D. A New Level of Advertising
44. What does a digital billboard’s camera look for?
A. a person’s fashion style B. what a person is carrying C. a person’s age and
gender D. whether someone is alone
