Part C – Reading
I/ Read the article about Angel Falls and answer the following questions.
ANGEL FALLS
Angel Falls is the highest waterfall in the world. It is located in the lonely jungles of Venezuela. The best way to get to the falls is by air. From the top to the bottom, the waterfall is 3,212 feet, over 1,000 feet higher than any other falls in the world. It looks like a silver thread hanging from the clouds. Visitors can see spectacular scenery at the falls. Water drops straight down the cliff and tumbles and foams over the lower canyon wall. The fine spray catches the light and sparkles in the sun. The falls were named after Jimmie Angel. He was a pilot and he discovered the falls in 1937. However, the local people already knew it and called it Churún Merú.
1. What is Angel Falls? 2. Where is it? 3. How high are the falls from the top to the bottom? 4. Why were the falls named Angel Falls? 5. When did Jimmie Angel discover the falls?
II/ Read about Da Nang City and answer the questions.
DA NANG
Da Nang has a population of nearly 800,000 people. The Han River flows through the city. The city part on the east bank is newer and more spacious. The city part on the west bank is more crowded. There are five bridges across the river. The Han River Bridge is the newest one now. The cost of living in Da Nang is the lowest in Central Viet Nam. Da Nang has many beaches. Among them, Non Nuoc Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. But walking in the streets on a summer afternoon is not a good idea in Da Nang. There are not many trees so there are not many shadows. It is often very hot at noon. ThuVienDeThi.com
