The walnut tree produces wood that is used for countless purposes, and is considered the finest wood in the world The wood is easy to work with, yet it is very hard and durable and when it is polished, it produces
a rich, dark luster It also shrinks and swells less than any other wood, which makes it especially desirable for fine furniture, flooring, and even gun stocks
In fact, just about every part of the walnut is unusually hard and strong The nut of the tree is encased inside
a very hard shell, which itself is enclosed in a leathery outer covering called a husk It requires real effort
to break through those layers to get at the tasty meat inside
Yet every part of the walnut is useful to people The outer husk produces a dark reddish stain that is hard
to remove from the hands of the person who opens the nut, and this pigment is widely used in dyes and
Trang 4wood stains The inner shell is used as an abrasive substance to clean jet engines And the meat of the nut
is extensively used in cooking, ice cream, flavorings-and just eaten raw
Walnut trees exude a chemical into the soil near their roots which can be poisonous to some trees and
shrubs Fruit trees, for example, will not survive if planted too close to a walnut Many other plants, such
as maple trees or ivy, are not affected by the walnut's presence, and are well-suited to grow in its vicinity

A The use of walnut wood in furniture B Walnut trees
C Where to plant walnuts D Trees of North America

B Maple trees grow well with walnuts

For a century and a half the piano has been one of the most popular solo instruments for Western music Unlike string and wind instruments, the piano is completely self- sufficient, as it is able to play both the melody and its accompanying harmony at the same time For this reason, it became the favorite household instrument of the nineteenth century
The ancestry of the piano can be traced to the early keyboard instruments of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries-the spinet, the dulcimer, and the virginal In the seventeenth century the organ, the clavichord, and the harpsichord became the chief instruments of the keyboard group, a supremacy they maintained
until the piano supplanted them at the end of the eighteenth century The clavichord's tone was never powerful, nevertheless, because of the variety of tone possible to it, many composers found the clavichord
a sympathetic instrument for intimate chamber music The harpsichord with its bright, vigorous tone was
Trang 5the favorite instrument for supporting the bass of the small orchestra of the period and for concert use but the character of the tone could not be varied save by mechanical or structural devices
The piano was perfected in the early eighteenth century by a harpsichord maker in Italy (though musicologists point out several previous instances of the instrument) This instrument was called a piano e forte (soft Mid loud), to indicate its dynamic versatility; its strings were struck by a recoiling hammer with
a felt-padded head The wires were much heavier in the earlier instruments A series of mechanical improvements continuing well into the nineteenth century, including the introduction of pedals to sustain tone or to soften it, the perfection of a metal frame, and steel wire of the finest quality, finally produced an instrument capable of myriad tonal effects from the most delicate harmonies to an almost orchestral fullness
of sound, from a liquid, singing tone to sharp, percussive brilliance

A The historical development of the piano
B The quality of tone produced by various keyboard instruments

A It was fragile B It lacked variety in tone
C It sounded metallic D It could not produce a strong sound
Question 41 According to the information in the last paragraph, which of the following improvements
made it possible to lengthen the tone produced by the piano?
A The introduction of pedals B The use of heavy wires
C The use of felt-padded hammerheads D The metal frame construction

One of the most difficult things young people have to face when they want to travel is the lack of funds During the summer holiday and possibly at weekends, they are able to take on part-time jobs, but the money make is just a drop in the bucket of what they need to travel far away For example, travelling to Australia from Vietnam can be quite expensive just for an airline ticket, and to a lot of students want to travel, it can seem out of reach
For students want to travel Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, they are in luck Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are well-known for offering them When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, he only pays for the round-trip airfare to get to either
Trang 10place and only needs to carry some extra cash for incidentals Once he is there, a job awaits where he can earn some money
Many of the jobs require little or no experience such as picking fruit or working in a busy pub out in the countryside Some of the jobs require more experience that most people or unlikely to have, such as being certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm That shouldn’t discourage you, though, there is always something to be found if you search hard enough
There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand If you have the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it might be just the ticket you were looking for
Question 31 Where can people find working holidays advertised?
A On the Internet B In magazines C On the radio D In travel guidebooks

Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely
to instinct leave many questions unanswered One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern The orientation
Trang 11of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun’s position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent farther from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food
No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have
inferred the location of the new site
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use Many animals, like the otter who uses
a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips Allowed
to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total,
showing some sort of summing ability Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities
of items and do simple sums
Question 36 What does the passage mainly discuss?
A The role of instinct in animal behavior
B Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior
C The use of food in studies of animal behavior
D Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory
experiments
Question 37 Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?
A Selecting among choices B Anticipating events to come
C Remembering past experiences D Communicating emotions
Question 38 What is the purpose of the honeybee dance?
A To determine the quantity of food at a site
B To communicate the location of food
C To increase the speed of travel to food sources
D To identify the type of nectar that is available
Question 39 The word “yet” in line 15 is closest in meaning to
A however B since C generally D so far
Question 40 It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _
A be an indicator of cognitive ability B vary among individuals within a species
C be related to food consumption D correspond to levels of activity

Trang 12A To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species
B To provide an example of tool use among animals
