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 following questions.
 Lichens, probably the hardiest of all plants, live where virtually nothing else can – not just on rugged 
mountain peaks but also on sun baked desert rocks. They are usually the first life to appear on a 
mountainside that has been scraped bare by an avalanche. Unlike other members of the plant kingdom, 
lichens are actually a partnership between two plants. The framework of a lichen is usually a network of 
minute hair like fungus that anchors the plant. The other component is an alga (similar to the green film 
 De-Thi.com Bộ đề ôn thi Học sinh giỏi Lớp 11 môn Tiếng Anh (Có giải & file nghe) - De-Thi.com
of plant life that grows on stagnant pools) that is distributed throughout the fungus. Being green plants, 
algae are capable of photosynthesis--that is, using energy from the Sun to manufacture their own food. The 
fungi arc believed to supply water, minerals, and physical support to the partnership. 
 Lichens are famous for their ability to survive from water shortage. When water is scarce (as is often 
the case on a mountain), lichens may become dormant and remain in that condition for prolonged periods 
of time. Some lichens can even grow where there is no rain at all, surviving on only occasional dew--the 
moisture that condenses on the surface of the plants at night, And unlike most other plants, lichens are little 
affected by the strong ultraviolet rays in the mountains.
 Lichens use little energy, for they grow slowly. Some grow so slowly and are so old that they are 
called "time stains." You may find lichens that are centuries old; certain of these lichen colonies have been 
established for an estimated 2,000 years. 
 For decades, scientists wondered how the offspring of an alga and a fungus got together to form a 
new lichen, it seemed unlikely that they would just happen to encounter one another. It was finally 
discovered that in many cases the two partners have never been separated. Stalk-like "buds" that form on 
certain lichens are broken off by the wind or by animals; these roll or are blown to a new location.
Question 66. Which of the following questions does the passage answer? 
A. Where can the oldest lichens be found? 
B. How long does it take for lichens to establish themselves? 
C. How large can lichens be? 
D. Where do lichens usually occur?
Question 67: The word "encounter" in line 21 is closest in meaning to: 
A. lose B. support C. meet D. create 
Question 68. Which of the following terms is defined in the passage? 
A. "anchors" (line 6) C. "dew" (line 14.) B. "stagnant" (line 7) D. "ultraviolet" (line 16)
Question 69: The author mentions "the green film of plant life that grows on stagnant pools" (lines 6-7) 
in order to explain 
A. how the sun affects lichens C. where fungi become algae 
B. why plants depend on water D. what algae are 
Question 70: It can be inferred from the passage that lichens use less energy and grow more slowly when:
A. the environment is polluted C. they are very old 
B. they are exposed to ultraviolet rays D. the supply of water is inadequate 
Question 71: All of the following are mentioned in the discussion of lichens EXCEPT:
A. They are capable of producing their own food. B. They require large amount of minerals to prosper
C. They are a union of two separate plants D. They can live thousands of years
Question 72: What does the phrase "lichen colonies” (line 19) suggest?
A. Nothing but lichens live in some locations.
B. Many lichens live together in one area
C. Lichens displace the plants that surround them. 
D. Certain groups of lichens have never been separated.

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 following questions.
 Amid the hum and heat of Berlin’s Reuter thermal power station stands a shining contraption 
that looks out of place in the decades-old machine hall. Its silver pipes and vats contain a substance that the 
company Waterfall, the plant’s operator, says could become a key ingredient for a fossil fuel-free future. 
The energy company, together with a Swedish start-up, is testing the use of salt to store heat, which 
accounts for more than half the power consumed in Germany. If it works well, the system could help solve 
a problem posed by renewable energy sources like wind and solar: unreliability, meaning they sometimes 
generate too much, and sometimes too little power. “Germany currently has enough installed renewable 
energy capacity to produce twice as much as it needs, it’s just not constant,” says Hendrik Roeglin, who 
oversees the salt storage project for Waterfall. 
 At the Reuter power plant in Berlin, which supplies 600,000 households in the capital with 
heat, the solution involves the use of calcium oxide, also known as quicklime. Waterfall and Swedish start-
up SaltX have been taking advantage of a simple chemical reaction that occurs when quicklime becomes 
wet: the salt-like grains soak up the water, becoming calcium hydroxide and releasing large amounts of 
heat in the process. By removing the water again, the substance turns back into calcium oxide. The process 
essentially mirrors how batteries work, except that instead of electricity, the system stores heat. Roeglin 
says the process can absorb ten times more energy than water, which is currently used for power-to-heat 
facilities. And unlike tanks of hot water, which slowly cool down over time, the system can retain the 
chemically-trapped energy for far longer. Need heat? Just add water. 
 The pilot project in Berlin can currently store enough energy to heat about 100 large houses. 
But SaltX says the facility could easily be scaled up and provide heat to any of the homes or offices already 
connected to the capital’s district heating system. Such networks — consisting of pipes pumping hot water 
or steam from power plants to consumers — exist in many European countries, Canada, the United States, 
Japan and China. SaltX also notes that the calcium oxide currently mined in Finland could be safely 
recycled, giving it an edge over some battery technologies that use rare or toxic materials. 
 “If your ambition is to be fossil-free within a generation, you have to consider various 
alternatives to reach that,” a representative of SaltX, Simon Ahlin, said during a visit to the facility. “This 
is an effective solution that’s available in a short time frame.”

 Many young people dream about sailing on oceans (0) over the world, but few actually get the 
chance doing it. Last year, the call went out for young people interested in joining the crew of the Gypsy 
Moth IV (GMIV). The boat had originally been sailed by Sir Francis Chichester during his record-breaking 
1966 voyage round the world.
 Amie Mayers had heard about the GMIV project at school and was making work experience at the 
United Kingdom Sailing Academy when the call for crew went out. She had enjoyed her week of work 
experience and was excited about the prospect of doing something she’d ever done before, so she applied 
to join the crew and was accepted. Before setting sail, Amie had to make sure she was properly prepared 
for her time at the sea. Her training including sea survival, health and safety, and of course the ins or outs 
of sailing a yacht. Amie wasn’t scared throughout the journey. Luckily, she always had other crew member 
to keep her company and was under the watchful eye of the skipper.
