Nguyen Thi Anh Vien, Vietnam’s swimming star at the 28th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, stunned people
on Tuesday when she cried not out of happiness over winning a gold medal, (45) for mistakes she had made
At 6:06 pm, Vien won the 200m women’s butterfly in a time of 2:11.12s, adding her 5th championship at this year’s multi-sport event (46) by the city state
She was seen bursting into tears upon finishing first in the race, leaving many people in (47) “I did not cry because I won the gold medal and broke a SEA Games record,” Vien said

After the 200m women’s butterfly, the swimmer from Can Tho went on to win her 6th gold medal in a record time
of 1:59.27s in the women’s 200m freestyle at 7:32 pm
“I bagged six gold medals and broke seven records but I will not stop fighting,” Vien said “If I’m satisfied with (49) I have achieved, I’m a loser now.”

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
The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee Natural selection has acted in a variety
of ways in different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviors, known as "flight behaviors" or escape behaviors
that are used by prey in fleeing predators Perhaps the most direct adaptation is enhanced light speed and agility Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy
Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way Many species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion
Trang 4Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey
In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the presence of predators
that are faster than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are slower One observation that supports this suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which are normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes in flight direction when they spot a peregrine
falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds)
A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behavior Here, the alarmed prey
flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash
of activity followed by immobility may confuse them "Flash" behavior is used in particular by frogs and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile In some species, "flash" behavior is
enhanced by the display of bright body markings Good examples of insects with colorful markings are the red and yellow underwing moths At rest, both species are a cryptic brown color When they fly, however, brightly colored hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly conspicuous Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly colored patches or frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly Some species even appear to possess "flash" sounds The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the movement
55 The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to _
56 The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is _
57 It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare _
A is faster than most of its predators B is preyed upon by gulls and falcons
C is more likely to escape using straight flight D is capable of two kinds of flight
58 The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of _
A European hares B gazelles C peregrine falcons D frogs
59 It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the
following reasons?
A The falcons are faster than the gulls B The falcons are unpredictable
C The gulls want to capture the falcons D The gulls depend on the falcons for protection
60 The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to _
61 All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behaviour EXCEPT _
A aggressive fighting B brief conspicuous C immobility D bright body markings
62 The phrase "in particular" is closest in meaning to _
A especially B with difficulty C expertly D frequently
63 The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar to _
A the hind wings of peregrine falcons B the zigzag flight of European hares
C the colored patches on frogs D the clicking of grasshoppers
64 Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in the last line?
A To compare the jumping behaviour of insects and reptiles
B To contrast animals that "flash" with animals that "freeze"
C As an example of an animal whose "flash" behaviour is a sound
D As an example of a predator that moths escape by using "flash" behavior
