I. Read the passage carefully and make the answers to the questions below it. (1 pt.) 
 The scarcity [khan hiếm] of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are endangered because 
poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts [da thú] and elephant ivory. 
 At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for elephant ivory, which is used to make 
carvings [chạm trỗ], jewelry [nữ trang] and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere. 
 "Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the illegal ivory trade," 
Ginette Hemley, Fund's vice president for species conservation, told The Washington Post in September. “And so our 
message is, 'Don't buy it, and don't take that chance’." 
 A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between 1995 and 2002. Each week 
there are about 1,000 ivory auctions [đấu giá] - the report said. 
 As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever in traditional 
medicine. Even tiger's whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a good-luck charm [bùa may mắn]- 
like a rabbit's foot in the United States. "Part of our job is education," said Professor Dillon. "The other part is law enforce-
ment. So we have more than one strategy [chiến lược]."

TAPESCRIPT TEST 11 (02- 02-2010) 
 Scientists are looking for cheaper ways to use the solar energy to heat air and water. Many buildings are using 
solar energy to heat their water now. Solar units on the roof of the buildings collect the energy and use it to heat 
water. Although these units are still very expensive, more and more people are buying solar hot water heaters. 
Universities and colleges give solar energy course where students learn to build their own solar collectors. There 
are many books that explain the construction of solar collectors. In the future, there will be more and more solar 
collectors, especially in the sunny desert areas of the world.
