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 11 to 17. 
 There is a common expression in the English language referring to a blue moon. When people say that 
something happens "only once in a blue moon", they mean that it happens only very rarely, once in a 
great while. This expression has been around for at least a century and a half; there are line references to 
this expression that date from the second half of the nineteenth century. 
 The expression "a blue moon" has come to refer to the second full moon occurring in any given 
calendar month. A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it is particularly blue or is any 
different in hue from the first full moon of the month. Instead, it is called a blue moon because it is so 
rare. The moon needs a little more than 29 days, to complete the cycle from full moon to full moon 
every month will have at least moon. Because every month except February has more than 29 days, every 
month will have at least one full moon (except February, which will have a full moon unless there is a full 
moon at the end of January and another full moon at the very beginning of March). It is on the occasion 
when a given calendar month has a second full moon that a blue moon occurs. This does not happen very 
often, only three or four times in a decade. 
 The blue moons of today are called blue moons because of their rarity and not because of their 
color, however, the expression "blue moon" may have come into existence in reference to unusual 
circumstances in which the moon actually appeared blue. Certain natural phenomena of gigantic 
proportions can actually change the appearance of the moon from Earth. The eruption of the Krakatau 
volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the atmosphere, which clouded the sun and gave the moon a bluish 
tint. This particular occurrence of the blue moon may have given rise to the expression that we use today. 
Another example occured more than a century later. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philipines in 
1991, the moon again took on a blue tint. 
Câu 11: According to paragraph 2, the second full moon is called “the blue moon” because ______. 
 A. it is infrequent B. it appears on unhappy days 
 C. it is bluer than the first full moon D. it has a bluish hue 
Câu 12: If one full moon is on the second of May, another one will probably on ______. 
 A. June 1st B. May 30th C. May 31st D. June 2nd

 A. the blue moon is bigger but darker than the first full moon 
 B. the occasion of the blue moon happens every four years 
 C. the expression “once in blue moon” is used only when blue moon appears 
 D. natural activities on Earth can alter the look of the moon

 A. been created B. comprised C. been overlooked D. associated

 Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our 
climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For 
example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods. These climatic changes, however, were 
different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The 
changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity. 
Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid. 
 The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this 
warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. 
The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such 
ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts. These in 
turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture. 
 It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse 
gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial 
processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a 
greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet. 
 Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the 
subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries. Of these 
summits, the most important took place in Kyotoin Japanin 1997. There it was agreed that the most 
industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given 
targets for this reduction of emissions. 
 It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb 
greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic 
deforestation. Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate 
changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering.
