Passage 1: Questions 1&2

Badminton is a racket sport in which two or four players hit an object called a shuttlecock backwards and forwards across a high net. Some people consider it as the oldest racket sport in the world, although the earliest forms of the sport probably didn't use a racket, and the net is a relatively recent addition.

A shuttlecock is a small, light ball made of bark – an outer covering of a tree - with feathers attached to it to help it fly. It is thought that shuttlecocks were first used about 2,500 years ago in China. But at this time, they were kicked rather than being hit with a racket in those days. A racket sport using shuttlecocks was certainly known in ancient Greece around 2,000 years ago, as well as in China and Japan. And a version of the game has been played by children across Asia for ever since. The aim was to keep hitting the shuttlecock backwards and forwards for as long as possible. The modern game which we call "badminton" was developed in England, however, and not until the 19th century.

British soldiers learnt to play a game using shuttlecocks while serving in India from the middle of the 18th century onwards. When they came home, they brought the game with them. At this point, it was called Poona which was named after a place in India. From about 1860, it became much more popular in England where a net was first introduced in 1867. Meanwhile, a modern system of scoring for the game also began to develop there. Then the game was brought to other countries in Asia and Europe. However, there were lots of disagreements about the rules among the players, and no official organisations to administer the sport.

All this changed in 1887. The name "badminton" was introduced after a famous party at a country house of that name in that year. At the party, a game was played and it was very similar to the one we call badminton today. A set of modern rules was prepared and published in 1893, and the Badminton Association of England (BAE) was formed in 1895 to manage the new sport and organise championships. The first of these were held in 1899 for men and in 1900 for women. Badminton can be played by both men and women, although slightly different rules and scoring systems apply.

The new sport soon became very popular in England. By 1920, there were 300 badminton clubs in the country, and that figure had risen to 500 by 1930. At the same time, the sport was becoming more popular in other countries too, and in 1934 an International Badminton Federation (IBF) was set up. The IBF decided to run international championships in 1939.  But due to the Second World War, the first one didn't take place until 1948, and then only for men. The first international women's championships were held in 1957.

 Passage2:

What does it take to be a successful banker? Do you need to study finance? Do you need experience working in a bank? Not anymore. Now all you need is $25 and an Internet connection, thanks to an organization called Kiva. Kiva Microfunds, known simply as Kiva, is an organization that connects people, using the Internet, for the purpose of eliminating poverty around the world. This organization believes that lending people money is better than just giving people money. It also believes that connecting lenders and borrowers directly helps to build a global community of people. People seem to be happier lending money when they know exactly who is using it, and what the loans are being used for. This is the world of microfinance. Microfinance allows people to lend small amounts of money to people in developing parts of the world—people who may not easily be able to get loans from a real bank. Most of the people who borrow money from Kiva and its partners are self-employed, or have very small businesses.

Kiva is based in San Francisco, California, and works with many different "field partners." Field partners are people and organizations around the world who help find local people who want to borrow money to start or grow a business. The field partners post information about these borrowers on the Kiva website, www.kiva.org, and lenders browse the site and choose the people they want to lend money to. The loans are made by credit card, or by PayPal, an online payment service based in the U.S. PayPal usually receives a fee for taking care of these payments, but it has agreed not to take any fees for handling Kiva payments. This helps Kiva put more of the money lent by its members directly into their loans.

A lot of the marketing done by Kiva is through its own lenders, using social media. Kiva lenders can connect with each other through the Kiva website. Inside the website, lenders can join or create their own "lending teams," plan Kiva events to raise money for loans, send out e-mail invitations to their friends, and share their Kiva activities on their favorite social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter. And when lenders' loans have been paid back by their borrowers, most of them put that money into new loans for new borrowers.

11. According to the passage, which of the following describes Kiva’s key to success? A. Its organization includes many successful bankers around the world. B. The Internet is believed to end poverty around the world successfully. C. Connecting lenders and borrowers directly builds a good lending community. D. More people tend to lend money to Kiva than they do to other banks. 12. The word “eliminating” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to __________. A. getting on with B. getting out of C. getting rid of D. getting ahead of

13. According to the passage, who borrows money from Kiva?

A. Kiva members

C. Local people

D. Its partners

A. PayPal is losing a lot of money by not charging Kiva lenders any fee.

Passage 3:

 The Beatles became the most popular group in rock music history. This group of four talented musicians created a number of pieces that won gold records. They set a trend that went beyond countries. While all of them sang, John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote most of their songs, which were recognized as masterpieces at that time. Originally, Lennon and five others formed a group called the Quarrymen in 1956. McCartney joined them later that year. George Harrison, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney, together with bass guitarist Stuart Sutcliffe and drummer Pete Best, performed together in several bands for a few years. Finally, they settled on the Silver Beatles. In 1960, American rock musicians, such as Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley, influenced Lennon's and McCartney's music. His first hits consisted of simple tunes and lyrics about young love, "Love Me Do" and "Please, Please Me". The Beatles' U.S. tour shot them to stardom and led to two movies "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help", filmed in 1964 and 1965. The so called British invasion of the United States was in full swing when they took the top five spots on the singles charts, followed by the release of their first film.  

  During the 1960s, their music matured and acquired a sense of melody. The lyrics of their great songs became deeper and gained in both imagination and meaning. Their popularity continued to grow as the Beatles turned their attention to social problems and political issues in "Nowhere Man" and "Eleanor Rigby." Loneliness and nostalgia come through in their popular ballads "Michelle" and "Yesterday". They fully displayed the group's professional development. Lennon's sarcastic music with lyrics written in the first person, and McCartney's songs that created scenarios with slightly weird people, added to the character of the music produced by the group. In addition to their music, the Beatles set a social trend that promoted long hair, Indian music, and mod dress. 

For many reasons, the musicians began to drift apart, and their last concert was organized in San Francisco in 1966. The newspapers and tabloids publicized their arguments and lawsuits, and the idol group finally disbanded in 1970. However, their albums had been sold more than any other band in history. After their break-up in 1970, they each enjoyed their own successful musical careers, but none could achieve the recognition and success that they had been able to win together.  McCartney and Starr, the surviving members, remain musically active. Lennon was shot and killed in December 1980, and Harrison died of lung cancer in November 2001.

Passage 4:

Throughout the ups and downs of Vietnamese history, Hue has maintained its image as an ancient capital. It has always been considered a "masterpiece of urban architecture" with hundreds of valuable historical and cultural monuments that blend harmoniously into the landscape. This is also the setting for Viet Nam's largest cultural festival.

[A] Hue's architecture is abundant and diverse, combining elements of philosophy, spirituality, and aesthetics. [B] The largest and best of the buildings are located in the monument complex constructed by the Nguyen Dynasty. [C] In fact, in 1993 the complex was recognized by UNESCO as an artifact of world cultural heritage. [D]

But in addition to its tangible cultural heritage, Hue is also a center for intangible cultural expressions. For example, in 2003, nha nhac — the music of the Hue royal court — was recognized as a masterpiece of intangible human heritage by UNESCO. 

The distinctive culture celebrated by the Hue Festival came from a mix of two eminent cultures. The first one was Dong Son culture with the arrival of northern immigrants before the 2nd century. The other was brought by Sa Huynh immigrants after the 13th century. These together became the Viet-Champa culture, which itself assimilated influences from the civilizations of Southeast Asia, China, India, and western countries. 

Hue is also unique in its integration of royal and folk cultures. Because Hue was the home of the monarchs, the culture of the royal court heavily influenced that of the ordinary citizens. However, it has been suggested that, in fact, royal culture was originally derived from Hue traditional folklore. Later on, it was simply formalized and "polished" by the feudal government.

These characteristics, unique to Hue culture, are reflected in all its art forms: literature, music, theater, aesthetics, festivals, social etiquette, style of living and more. The Hue Festival, established in order to preserve this precious culture, has become an event of national scale and international importance. It has spread images of Viet Nam far and wide, as more and more foreign artists and tourists come to watch and participate.

Hue celebrates a festival once every two years. This festival is a true cultural exchange, full of political, diplomatic, and economic meaning. The first Hue Festival was successfully organized by the province of Thua Thien-Hue in 2000 with support from the government, the central ministries, and the French embassy. It enjoyed the participation of more than 1,000 professional and amateur performers from Viet Nam and France. This also attracted over 410,000 participants, including 6,000 foreign visitors.

Hue Festival 2014 was built on the theme "Cultural Heritage with Integration and Development". That explained why this prominent event showcased stunning art performances representing different sub-cultures and the ancient capital cities of Viet Nam, especially Hue royal court music and Hue folk songs. In addition, exceptional traditional and contemporary art performances were staged every night at venues inside the Citadel and An Dinh Palace of Hue, and outdoor stages in the vicinity of this ancient city.

31. Which of the following best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in paragraph 1?

A. Hue is an impressive example of urban architecture, with many monuments of great historical and cultural value in absolute harmony with its landscape.  

B. Many valuable historical and cultural monuments in Hue have been renovated to successfully combine with its natural scenery and modern urban architecture.

C. Hue has been extremely successful in its preservation of numerous monuments of immense historical and cultural value as well as its natural landscape.

D. Hue’s landscape and plenty of its valuable historical and cultural monuments have been well preserved as part of an architecture and urban conservation project.

D. Đoạn DREADING - 60 minutes
