C earthquakes and volcanoes
D however, you will discover that
E regard geology as an academic subject

To many people, the word “geology” conjures up a rather dull image of lumps of rock in glass cases People tend to (51) that you don’t need to know about unless you have to study it at
Trang 6school If you visit the Earth Galleries at London’s Natural history Museum, (52) this image couldn’t be further from the truth
The aim of the exhibition is not to procedure future geologists, but rather to inspire interest in a subject (53) The Earth Galleries turn the traditional idea of geological museum upside down literally because you begin at the top The central space in the museum is a glass-topped atrium As you enter, you ride up to the top of this by escalator On the way, the escalator passes through a massive revolving globe, measuring eleven meters in diameter This represents a planet, (54) Once at the top, you work your way down through the six different exhibitions that make up the museum

III Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question (10 points):
Madison Square Garden, a world-famous sporting venue in New York City, has actually been a
series of buildings in varied locations rather than a single building in one spot In 1873, P.T Barnum built Barnum’s Monster Classical and Geological Hippodrome at the corner of Madison Avenue and
26th Street, across from Madison Square Park Two years later, bandleader Patrick Gilmore bought the property, added statues and fountains, and renamed it Gilmore’s Gardens When Cornelius Vanderbilt bought the property in 1879, it was renamed Madison Square Garden
A second very lavish Madison Square Garden was built at the same location in 1890, with a
ballroom, a restaurant, a theater, a rooftop garden, and a main arena with seating for 15,000 However, this elaborate Madison Square Garden lasted until 1924 when it was torn down to make way for a forty-storey skyscraper
When the second Madison Square Garden had been replaced in its location across from Madison Square Park, boxing promoter Tex Rickard raised six million dollars to build a new Madison Square garden This new Madison Square Garden was constructed in a different location, on 8th
Avenue and 50th Street and quite some distance from Madison Square Park and Madison Avenue Rickard’s Madison Square Garden served primarily as an arena for boxing prizefights and circus events until it outgrew its usefulness by the late 1950s
A new location was found for a fourth for Madison Square Garden, atop Pennsylvania Railroad
Station, and plans were announced for its construction in 1960 This current edifice, which includes a
huge sports arena, a bowling center, a 5,000-seat amphitheater, and a twenty-nine-storey office building, does retain the traditional name Madison Square Garden However, the name is actually quite
a misnomer The building is not located near Madison Square, nor does it have the flowery gardens that contributed to the original name
66 The main point of this passage is that Madison Square Garden
A has had a varied history in various locations
B was P.T Barnum’s major accomplishment
C is home to many different sporting events
D was named after and adjacent park
Trang 867 Which paragraph discusses the third incarnation of Madison Square Garden?
