In most capital cities, which were built (56 long) before the heyday (thời hoàng kim) of the private car, there is
rarely enough (57 space) for moving traffic, and certainly not enough for parked (58 vehicles). Buses move slowly
because of the volume of (59 traffic) thus encouraging more commuters to abandon public (60 transport). Banning
traffic from some areas may help, but such a (61 solution) may not actually diminish (giảm) the number of cars
coming into the city. What has happened in effect is that the (62 needs) of the private car have become the number one
priority, and the older functions of the city center as meeting (63 place) and focus for social life have been lost. The
new city cannot (64 survive) without a series of ring roads. Giant car parks are its new palaces. During the working
hours of the day, there is the constant (65 din- om sòm) of traffic, but at night the center is almost empty, apart from a
few homeless in doorways. Most people have (66 commuted- giao hoán) back to the suburbs, and very few of those
who live in the center have cars, for often there is nowhere to park them. The old city, with its narrow streets, may still
retain (lưu giữ) a lively (67 air) but that may be because it exists as an island, where no cars are (68 permitted). Unless
the local authorities have not yet plucked up the courage to (69 ban) most traffic from the streets, in which case the
city center is (70 congested- đông nghịt) by day, and a gigantic car park by night.
56. A. far B. long C. much D. even
57. A. area B. roads C. space D. speed
58. A. vehicles B. pedestrians C. drivers D. areas
59. A. this B. noise C. congestion(đông, tắc) D. traffic

C. They wanted their buildings to be used as churches for thousands of years.
D. The arches of their buildings were very heavy.

Câu 76-80: Đọc kĩ đoạn văn rồi chọn từ/ cụm từ thích hợp nhất trong số các gợi ý A,B,C, hoặc D để hoàn tất mỗi
trong số các câu theo sau.
A person steps on what seems like solid ground but discovers with horror that the ground is giving way
underfoot. The person struggles desperately but is trapped. There is no escape. Slowly the person sinks deeper and at
last is gone, buried in the treacherous (phụ bạc) earth. The solid ground was solid only in appearance. It was actually
quicksand (cát lún, chảy), which is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water. How is quicksand formed? Water
pushes up from below the surface and is held by the sand. The grains of sand are forced apart by the water. They
cannot hold any weight. The subsurface water may have come from a spring, a river, or a stream. Sometimes pools of
water near beaches become filled with sand. When the soil under these pools does not allow for good drainage, the
sand can become stretches of quicksand. It is true that a person who steps into quicksand is doomed to die? No, for
people have fought their way from quicksand to firm land again. It is panic that creates the condition that can result in
death, for the more a person struggles, the worse matters become. Quick movements will make the sand yield (tăng
sản lượng) temporarily, but then it rushes back and settles solidly around the body. People trapped in quicksand should
either lie back with arms outstretched, or not move at all. When the weight of sand a person’s body has displaced
equals that person’s weight, the victim will stop sinking. With feet held still, and with slow movements of the arms, as
in the backstroke (bơi ngửa) in swimming, people have managed to roll to safety and reach firm ground.
76. Quick movements by a person trapped in quicksand will_____.
A. help the person reach firm ground. B. make the same sand yield temporarily.
C. help prevent panic. D. make the sand hold the person’s weight.
77. Quicksand is______. A. formed only along rivers. B. found below surface water.
C. buried in the treacherous earth. D. a mass of fine sand mixed with water.
