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 46 to 55

When the first white men came to America, they found natural resources of tremendous value Forests cover a large part of the nation, later gas, oil and minerals were found in unbelievable amounts There was

a great abundance of very fertile soil Forests, prairies, streams and rivers abounded with wildlife So vast

were these resources that it seemed that they could never be used up So forests were destroyed to make way for farmland Grassland and prairies were plowed and harrowed Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to supply a young industrial nation Almost every river became the scene of factories, mills and power companies Mammals and birds were slaughtered for food and sport

Within a short time, the results were obvious Floods caused millions of dollars worth of damage yearly The very fertile soil washed away or blew up in great clouds The seemingly inexhaustible oil and

minerals showed signs of depletion Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from

factories Many of the rivers were made unfit for fish Several species of birds disappeared, and some mammals seemed on the verge of going Future timber shortages were predicted In short, Americans soon came to realize that some sorts of conservation program must be set up, if future as well as present Americans were to share the resources that are the heritage of every American

46 The title that best expresses the main theme or subject of this selection is _

What the first white men found in America

The loss of top soil

The cause of timber shortage

The story of America’s natural resources

Câu 47 (1 điểm)

47 It seemed to the early American settlers that

fertile soil was scarce

the natural resources were inexhaustible

forests should not be cut

there was a shortage of minerals

Câu 48 (1 điểm)

48 The use of America’s natural resources by the early settlers was _

49 Much of the fertile soil of America has

sunk deep into the earth

been covered by lakes

been eroded by wind and water

become the scene of factories

Câu 50 (1 điểm)

One reason why many of the rivers were no longer suitable living places for fish is that

too many fish have been caught

a conservation program has been set up

floods have caused much damage

factories have dumped waste into rivers

Câu 51 (1 điểm)

51 According to the passage, all of the following are true, EXCEPT

The early Americans settlers used a lot of minerals and oil

They killed animals for food and sport

They grew different kinds of plants in prairies

They plowed and harrowed grasslands and prairies

Câu 52 (1 điểm)

52 The word “abounded with” in line 3 could best be replaced by

were profitable in

were abundant in

were covered with

were filled with

55 Americans soon realized that _

they should stop killing animals for food

they must give up exploiting minerals

they shouldn’t reclaim the land

they must establish a conservation program

Câu 56 (1 điểm)

56 What does the passage mainly discuss?

Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior

The use of food in studies of animal behavior

The role of instinct in animal behavior

Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments

Câu 57 (1 điểm)

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 of 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 father 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 One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips

and three 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

57 Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?

Communicating emotions

Remembering past experiences

Selecting among choices

Anticipating events to come

Câu 58 (1 điểm)

58 What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site?

To determine the quality of food at a site

To increase the speed of travel to food sources

To identify the type of nectar that is available

To communicate the location of food

60 What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2?

Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought

The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food

The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected
