Question 3: Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions Write your answer (A, B, C or D) in the space provided
AQUATIC SCHOOL
Many species of fish, particularly smaller fish, travel in schools, moving in tight formations often
with the precision of the most highly disciplined military unit on parade Some move in synchronized
hordes, while others move in starkly geometric forms In addition to the varieties of shapes of schools of fish, there are countless varieties of schooling behaviors Some fish coalesce into schools and then spread out in random patterns, while others move into close formations at specific times, such as feeding times, but are more spread out at other times Some move in schools composed of members of all age groups, while others move in schools predominantly when they are young but take up a more solitary existence as they mature Though this behavior is quite a regular, familiar phenomenon, there is much that is not completely
Trang 7known about it, particularly the exact function that it serves and what mechanisms fish use to make it happen
Numerous hypotheses have been proposed and tested concerning the purpose of schooling behavior
in fish Schooling certainly promotes the survival of the species, but questions arise as to the way the
schooling enables fish to have a better chance of surviving Certainly, the fact that fish congregate
together in schools helps to ensure their survival in that schooling provides numerous types of protection for the members of the school One form of protection derives from the sheer numbers in the
school When a predator attacks a school containing a huge number of fish, the predator will be able to consume only a small percentage of the school Whereas some of the members of the school will be lost to the predator, the majority of the school will be able to survive Another form of protection comes from the special coloration and markings of different types of fish Certain types of coloration or markings such as stripes or patterns in vibrant and shiny colors create a visual effect when huge numbers of the fish are clustered together, making it more difficult for a potential predator to focus on specific members of the school A final form of protection comes from a special sense that fish possess, a sense that is enhanced when fish swim in schools This special sense is related to a set of lateral line organs that consist of rows of pores leading to fluid-filled canals These organs are sensitive to minute vibrations in the water The thousands of sets of those special organs in a school of fish together can prove very effective in warning the school about an approaching threat
[9A] It is also unclear exactly how fish manage to maintain their tight formation [9B] Sight seems to
play a role in the ability of fish to move in schools, and some scientists believe that, at least in some species,
sight may play the principal role [9C] However, many experiments indicate that more than sight is involved Some fish school quite well in the dark or in murky water where visibility is extremely limited [9D] This
indicates that senses other than eyesight must be involved in enabling the schooling behavior The lateral line system most likely plays a significant role in the ability of fish to school Because these lateral line organs are sensitive to the most minute vibrations and currents, this organ system may be used by fish to detect movements among members of their school even when their eyesight is limited or unavailable
order to _.
A describe the aggressive nature of a school of fish
B provide an example of a way that military units travel
C create a mental image of the movement of a school of fish
D contrast the movement of a military unit with that of a school of fish
A it is quite common B it can involve large numbers of fish
C it can involve a number of different fish behaviors D it is fully understood
A A large, older fish B A smaller, colorful fish
C A young, hungry fish D A tiny, shiny fish
sentence in paragraph 2?
A After an attack, the fish that survive tend to move into schools
B The survival of fish depends upon their ability to bring new members into the school
C Many facts about the way that fish congregate in schools have been studied
D Fish travel in schools to protect themselves in various ways
A solitude B interlude C multitude D similitude
A it cannot possibly consume all members of a school if the school is large enough
B it rarely manages to catch any fish that are part of a school
Trang 8C it is usually successful in wiping out the entire school
D it attacks only schools that lack sense organs
A fish in schools rarely have distinct markings
B the effect of coloration is multiplied when fish are massed together
C schooling fish tend to have muted coloration
D the bright coloration makes it easier for predators to spot fish
A contradictory information is about to be presented
B it is necessary to clarify a previously made point
C a second issue is about to be presented
D it is unclear how a problem can be resolved
A fish cannot see well
B not all fish use sight to remain in schools
C sight is the only sense used by fish to remain in schools
D fish can see quite well in the dark
A contains lines or pores
B can detect movement in the water
C quite possibly helps fish to remain in schools
D in fish is similar to sense organs in other animals

JARGON
0
_F_
Jargon is a loaded word One dictionary defines it, neatly and neutrally, as ‘the technical
vocabulary or idiom of a special activity or group’, but this sense is almost completely
overshadowed by another: ‘obscure and often pretentious language marked by a roundabout
way of expression and use of long words’ For most people, it is this second sense which is
at the front of their minds when they think about jargon Jargon is said to be a bad use of
language, something to be avoided at all costs No one ever describes it in positive terms
(‘that was a delightful piece of rousing jargon’) Nor does one usually admit to using it
oneself: the myth is that jargon is something only other people employ.
156
_
The reality, however is that everyone uses jargon It is an essential part of the network of
occupations and pursuits that make up society All jobs present an element of jargon, which
workers learn as they develop their expertise All hobbies require mastery of a jargon Each
society grouping has its jargon The phenomenon turns out to be universal – and valuable It
is the jargon element which, in a job, can promote economy and precision of expression, and
thus help make life easier for the workers It is also the chief linguistic element which shows
professional awareness (‘know-how’) and social togetherness (‘shop-talk’)
Trang 9_
When we have learned to command it, jargon is something we readily take pleasure in,
whether the subject area is motorcycles, knitting, cricket, baseball or computers It can add
pace, variety and humour to speech – as when, with an important event approaching, we
might slip into NASA-speak, and talk about countdown, all systems go, and lift-off We
enjoy the mutual showing-off which stems from a fluent use of terminology, and we enjoy
the in-jokes which shared linguistic experience permits Moreover, we are jealous of this
knowledge We are quick to demean anyone who tries to be part of our group without being
prepared to take on its jargon
158
_
If jargon is so essential a part of our lives, why then has it had such a bad press? The most
important reason stems from the way jargon can exclude as well as include We may not be
too concerned if we find ourselves faced with an impenetrable wall of jargon when the
subject matter has little perceived relevance to our everyday lives, as in the case of
hydrology, say, or linguistics But when the subject matter is one where we feel implicated,
and think we have a right to know, and the speaker uses words which make it hard for us to
understand, then we start to complain; and if we suspect that the obfuscation is deliberate
policy, we unreservedly condemn, labeling it gobbledegook and calling down public derision
upon it
159
_
No area is exempt, but the fields of advertising, politics and defence have been especially
criticized in recent years by the various campaigns for Plain English In these domains, the
extent to which people are prepared to use jargon to hide realities is a ready source of
amusement, disbelief and horror A lie is a lie, which can be only temporarily hidden by
calling it an ‘inoperative statement’ or ‘an instance of plausible deniability’ Nor can a
nuclear plant explosion be suppressed for long behind such phrases as ‘energetic
disassembly’, ‘abnormal evolution’ or ‘plant transient’
160
_
While condemning unnecessary or obscuring jargon in others, we should not forget to look
out for it in ourselves It is so easy to ‘slip into’ jargon, without realizing that our own
listeners/readers do not understand It is also temptingly easy to slip some jargon into our
expression, to ensure that others do not understand And it is just as easy to begin using
jargon which we ourselves do not understand The motivation to do such apparently perverse
things is not difficult to grasp People like to be ‘in’, to be part of an intellectual or technical
elite; and the use of jargon, whether understood or not, is a badge of membership Jargon,
also, can provide a lazy way into a group or an easy way of hiding uncertainties and
inadequacies: when terminology slips plausibly from the tongue, it is not essential for the
brain to keep up Indeed some people have developed this skill to professional levels And
certainly, faced with a telling or awkward question, and the need to say something
acceptable in public, slipping into jargon becomes a simple way out, and can soon become a
bad habit

they need to develop a good (0) F - of the relevant jargon During discussion of these of other areas of
