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
Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture Marring our gardens is one
of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted They clog waterways,
destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for one-third of all crop loss They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants
The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry Its herbicides are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused Toxic compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and drinking water They also harm workers who apply them
In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically sound Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems Hence, scientists are exploring
the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms
The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only
those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance Furthermore, a number
of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed
Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season
Question 45: With what topic does this passage primarily deal?
A The importance of the chemical industry
B The dangers of toxic chemicals
C A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides
D Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones
Question 46: The word “marring” in bold is closest in meaning to

Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the
earth The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia,
a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America Besides the interesting fact that the
dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs
were found together This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as
loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived
in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone
The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely
related to it as a fox would be to a dog It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus
Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog

Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture Marring our gardens is one
of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted They clog waterways,
destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for one-third of all crop loss They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants
The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry Its herbicides are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused Toxic compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and drinking water They also harm workers who apply them
In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically sound Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems Hence, scientists are exploring
the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms
The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only
those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance Furthermore, a number
of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed
Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season
Question 45: With what topic does this passage primarily deal?
A Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones
B A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides
C The importance of the chemical industry
D The dangers of toxic chemicals

B They are safer for workers
C They do not have to be used as often
D They are less likely to destroy desirable plants

Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activitiesproceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow As a worker ant returns home
after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and
depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages asthe context changes These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by otherants in either direction
Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret
from members of other species It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds
as trail pheromones Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals Investigators working with the trailpheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice
to lead a column of ants three times around Earth
Trang 37The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects
this signal with receptors in its antennae A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest
concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space In following the trail, the ant
moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one
and then the other antenna into the vapor space As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives inthe vapor space The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this newcourse until its right antenna reaches the vapor space It then swings back to the right, and so weaves backand forth down the trail
Câu 45: What is possibly the main topic of the passage?
A The information contained in pheromones B The mass migration of ants
C How ants mark and follow a chemical trail D Different species of ants around the world

Câu 47: The word "intermittently" is closest in meaning to .

Câu 49: According to the passage, why do ants use different compounds as trail pheromones?
A To protect their trail from other species B To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals.
C To attract different types of ants D To indicate how far away the food is.
Câu 50: The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant in the second paragraph to point
out
A how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail
B the different types of pheromones ants can produce
C that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone
D a type of ant that is common in many parts of the world
