“It’s an eight-hour drive, Alice We are only going for gran’s party, and then coming home again,” replied her brother, sick of her constant complaining “How about a game?” he suggested
“I hate game They’re no fun.” Alice snapped
It seemed to Dave that Alice had a smart answer for everything “How about the questions game? You loved playing that when you were little I ask you questions until you get one wrong, then it’s your turn to ask me.”
Alice was in no mood to play She sat slumped in her chair staring out of the window Then she had
an idea “Alright,” she said, a little too cheerily, “but I have two new rules If I can’t answer your question, I’ll give you one dollar from my holiday money If you can’t answer my question, you have to give me $10 Deal?”
Dave was confident in his ability to answer any of his nine-year-old sister’s questions, so he readily
agreed to such a biased contest, with one proviso “I get to go first!” Dave announced
Alice smiled, “Fire away.”
“How many kilometres is it from the earth to the moon?” he asked Alice took $1 from her purse and handed it straight to Dave
“My turn! She chirped, “what goes up a mountain with three legs and comes back down with four?” Dave sat for a long time thinking about the question Alice quietly looked out of the window smiling contentedly Finally Dave handed Alice a brand new $10 bill “So,” he asked, “what is the answer?”
Alice took another dollar out of her purse and handed it to her brother

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions
When one hears the expression “role models”, one’s mind naturally jumps to celebrities, especially
as far as young people are concerned Therefore, it would be more than natural to assume that teenagers,
heavily influenced by the media, are dazzled by well-known Hollywood stars, famous musicians and
internationally renowned athletes However, nothing could be further from the truth
In reality, according to a recent survey, over 75% of teens who filled out an online questionnaire claimed that the role model for whom they had the greatest respect was not a famous personality, but a family member It seems that the qualities that make a good role model are more complex than researchers first assumed For example, Nancy L, a teenage girl from Wisconsin, described her role model as a woman who had a clear sense of what was important to her, making the effort to create things that would make a real difference in the world The woman she was referring to was her favorite aunt, who was a painter and sculptor
Role models come into young people’s lives in various ways They are family members, educators, peers and ordinary people encountered in their daily lives Students emphasized that being a role model is
not confined to those with international fame or unbelievable wealth Instead, they said the greatest
attribute of a role model is the ability to inspire others Teachers were often mentioned as examples in this case, ones that are dedicated to encouraging students, helping them push their limits and strengthen their characters
Another quality high on the list was the ability to overcome obstacles In addition to parents, peers often made up a large percentage of such role models Young people are at a point in their lives when they are developing the skills of initiative and capability, so it is only natural that they admire people who show them that success in the face of difficulty is possible
A final and perhaps unexpected character trait that the youth of today admire is a clear set of values Children admire people whose actions are consistent with their beliefs; in other words, who practice what they preach Role models help them to understand the significance of honesty, motivation and the desire to do general good For example, local politicians who clearly struggle to improve living conditions in their cities are high on their lists of role models
Perhaps what should be understood from what young people consider important in a role model is that each and every person around them affects them to a certain extent, perhaps much more than most parents think This makes it crucial for adults to be aware of their influence on the young and set the best examples possible

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
Bees, classified into over 10.000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world except
the northernmost and southernmost regions One commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that produces honey and wax Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other
products, and they use the honey as a food While gathering the nectar and pollen with which they
make honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which they land Many fruits and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom
Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with storage
space for the honey The different types of bees each perform a unique function The worker bee carries nectar to the hive in a special stomach called a honey stomach Other workers make beeswax and shape it into a honeycomb, which is a waterproof mass of six-sided compartments, or cells The queen lays eggs in completed cells As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more eggs
All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen The male honeybees are called drones; they do no work and cannot sting They are developed from unfertilized eggs, and their only job is to impregnate a queen The queen must be fertilized in order to lay worker eggs During the season when less honey is available and the drone is of no further use, the workers block the drones from eating the honey so that they will starve to death

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 18 to 27
The atmosphere that originally surrounded Earth was probably much different from the air we breathe today Earth's first atmosphere (some 4.6 billion years ago) was most likely hydrogen and helium - the two most abundant gasses found in the universe - as well as hydrogen compounds such as methane and ammonia Most scientists feel that this early atmosphere escaped into space from the Earth's hot surface
A second, more dense atmosphere, however, gradually enveloped the Earth as gasses from molten
rocks within its hot interior escaped through volcanoes and steam vents We assume that volcanoes
spewed out the same gasses then as they do today: mostly water vapor (about 80 percent), carbon
dioxide (about ten percent), and up to a few percent nitrogen These same gasses probably created Earth's second atmosphere
As millions of years passed, the constant outpouring of gasses from the hot interior - known as
outgassing - provided a rich supply of water vapor, which formed into clouds Rain fell upon Earth for
many thousands of years, forming the rivers, lakes, and oceans of the world During this time, large amounts of carbon dioxide were dissolved in the oceans Through chemical and biological processes, much of the carbon dioxide became locked up in carbon sedimentary rocks, such as limestone With much of the water vapor already condensed into water and the concentration of carbon dioxide
dwindling, the atmosphere gradually became rich in nitrogen
It appears that oxygen, the second most abundant gas in today's atmosphere, probably began an extremely slow increase in concentration as energetic rays from the Sun split water vapor into hydrogen and oxygen during a process called photo dissociation The hydrogen, being lighter, probably rose and escaped into space, while the oxygen remained in the atmosphere
This slow increase in oxygen may have provided enough of this gas for primitive plants to evolve,
perhaps two to three billion years ago Or the plants may have evolved in an almost oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment At any rate, plant growth greatly enriched our atmosphere with oxygen The
reason for this enrichment is that plants, in the presence of sunlight, process carbon dioxide and water
to produce oxygen
Question 18: What is the main idea of the passage?
A Hot underground gasses created clouds, which formed the Earth's atmosphere
Trang 10Trang 3/5 - Mã đề thi 134
B Plant growth depended on oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere
C The atmosphere on Earth has changed over time

Question 21: According to the passage, outgassing eventually led to all of the following EXCEPT
A the formation of clouds
B decreases in the level of nitrogen
C increases in the carbon dioxide content of sedimentary rocks
D the formation of bodies of water
Question 22: The word "gradually" is closest in meaning to _
Question 23: The passage suggests that oxygen remained in the atmosphere because _
A it was heavier than hydrogen
B it was caused by outgassing
C rays from the sun created equal amounts of hydrogen and oxygen
D hydrogen became trapped in limestone
Question 24: The author uses the word "Or" to
A propose a similar idea B suggest an alternative
C criticize the previous suggestion D provide unrelated information

Question 26: The Earth's atmosphere is described in terms of the
A role of volcanoes in its formation
B order in which changes occurred
C time it took for the Earth's surface to cool and nitrogen to appear

Bees, classified into over 10.000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world except
the northernmost and southernmost regions One commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that produces honey and wax Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other
products, and they use the honey as a food While gathering the nectar and pollen with which they
make honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which they land Many fruits and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom

Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with storage
space for the honey The different types of bees each perform a unique function The worker bee carries nectar to the hive in a special stomach called a honey stomach Other workers make beeswax and shape it into a honeycomb, which is a waterproof mass of six-sided compartments, or cells The queen lays eggs in completed cells As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more eggs
All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen The male honeybees are called drones; they do no work and cannot sting They are developed from unfertilized eggs, and their only job is to impregnate a queen The queen must be fertilized in order to lay worker eggs During the season when less honey is available and the drone is of no further use, the workers block the drones from eating the honey so that they will starve to death

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
The atmosphere that originally surrounded Earth was probably much different from the air we breathe today Earth's first atmosphere (some 4.6 billion years ago) was most likely hydrogen and helium - the two most abundant gasses found in the universe - as well as hydrogen compounds such as methane and ammonia Most scientists feel that this early atmosphere escaped into space from the Earth's hot surface
A second, more dense atmosphere, however, gradually enveloped the Earth as gasses from molten
rocks within its hot interior escaped through volcanoes and steam vents We assume that volcanoes
spewed out the same gasses then as they do today: mostly water vapor (about 80 percent), carbon
dioxide (about ten percent), and up to a few percent nitrogen These same gasses probably created Earth's second atmosphere
Trang 21Trang 4/5 - Mã đề thi 356
As millions of years passed, the constant outpouring of gasses from the hot interior - known as
outgassing - provided a rich supply of water vapor, which formed into clouds Rain fell upon Earth for
many thousands of years, forming the rivers, lakes, and oceans of the world During this time, large amounts of carbon dioxide were dissolved in the oceans Through chemical and biological processes, much of the carbon dioxide became locked up in carbon sedimentary rocks, such as limestone With much of the water vapor already condensed into water and the concentration of carbon dioxide
dwindling, the atmosphere gradually became rich in nitrogen
It appears that oxygen, the second most abundant gas in today's atmosphere, probably began an extremely slow increase in concentration as energetic rays from the Sun split water vapor into hydrogen and oxygen during a process called photo dissociation The hydrogen, being lighter, probably rose and escaped into space, while the oxygen remained in the atmosphere
This slow increase in oxygen may have provided enough of this gas for primitive plants to evolve,
perhaps two to three billion years ago Or the plants may have evolved in an almost oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment At any rate, plant growth greatly enriched our atmosphere with oxygen The
reason for this enrichment is that plants, in the presence of sunlight, process carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen
Question 47: What is the main idea of the passage?
A The original atmosphere on Earth was unstable
B The atmosphere on Earth has changed over time
C Hot underground gasses created clouds, which formed the Earth's atmosphere
D Plant growth depended on oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere
Question 48: The word "enveloped" is closest in meaning to _
Question 49: The word "they” refers to
Question 50: According to the passage, outgassing eventually led to all of the following EXCEPT
A increases in the carbon dioxide content of sedimentary rocks
B the formation of bodies of water
C decreases in the level of nitrogen
D the formation of clouds
Question 51: The word "gradually" is closest in meaning to _
A accidentally B quickly C by degrees D in the end
Question 52: The passage suggests that oxygen remained in the atmosphere because _
A it was caused by outgassing
B it was heavier than hydrogen
C hydrogen became trapped in limestone
D rays from the sun created equal amounts of hydrogen and oxygen
Question 53: The author uses the word "Or" to
A criticize the previous suggestion B provide unrelated information
C propose a similar idea D suggest an alternative
Question 54: The phase "At any rate" is closest in meaning to
Question 55: The Earth's atmosphere is described in terms of the
A role of volcanoes in its formation
B order in which changes occurred
C time it took for the Earth's surface to cool and nitrogen to appear
D chemical and physical features of gasses

oxygen by photo dissociation and the production of oxygen by plants?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Although only a small percentage of the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by the Sun is ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the amount that is emitted would be enough to cause severe damage to most forms of life on Earth were it all to reach the surface of the earth Fortunately, all of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation does not reach the earth because of a layer of oxygen, called the ozone layer,
encircling the earth in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 15 miles above the earth The ozone layer
absorbs much of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation and prevents it from reaching the earth
Ozone is a form of oxygen in which each molecule consists of three atoms (O 3 ) instead of the two atoms (O 2 ) usually found in an oxygen molecule Ozone forms in the stratosphere in a process that is initiated by ultraviolet radiation from the Sun UV radiation from the Sun splits oxygen molecules with
two atoms into free oxygen atoms, and each of these unattached oxygen atoms then joins up with an
oxygen molecule to form ozone UV radiation is also capable of splitting up ozone molecules; thus, ozone is constantly forming, splitting, and reforming in the stratosphere When UV radiation is
absorbed during the process of ozone formation and reformation, it is unable to reach the Earth and
cause damage there
Recently, however, the ozone layer over parts of the earth has been diminishing Chief among the
culprits in the case of the disappearing ozone, those that are really responsible, are the
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) CFCs meander up from Earth into the stratosphere, where they break down and release chlorine The released chlorine reacts with ozone in the stratosphere to form chlorine monoxide (CIO) and oxygen (O 2 ) The chlorine then becomes free to go through the cycle over and over again One chlorine atom can, in fact, destroy hundreds of thousands of ozone molecules in this repetitious cycle
45 According to the passage, ultraviolet radiation from the Sun
A is causing severe damage to the earth's ozone layer
B is only a fraction of the Sun's electromagnetic radiation
C creates electromagnetic radiation
D always reaches the earth
46 The word “encircling” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
A rotating B attacking C raising D surrounding
47 According to the passage the ozone layer
A enables ultraviolet radiation to reach the earth
B reflects ultraviolet radiation
C shields the earth from a lot of ultraviolet radiation
D reaches down to the earth
48 Which one of the following drawings best describes ozone molecule?
49 The word “free” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by
A unattached B forming C reforming D splitting
50 Ultraviolet radiation causes oxygen molecules to
Trang 31A rise to the stratosphere
B burn up ozone molecules
C split up and reform as ozone
D reduce the number of chlorofluorocarbons
51 The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to
A the process of ozone formation B UV radiation
C the stratosphere D the process of ozone reformation
52 The word “culprits” in paragraph 3 refers to
A parts of the earth B chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
C chlorine monoxide (CIO) and oxygen (O2) D ozone molecules
53 Which one of the following drawings shows what happens after a chlorine molecule reacts with an ozone molecule
54 Which of the following sentences best explains how much damage chlorine can do?
A the ozone layer over parts of the earth has been diminishing
B CFCs are really responsible for the case of the disappearing ozone
C The chlorine becomes free to go through the cycle over and over again
D Hundreds of thousands of ozone molecules can be destroyed by only one chlorine atom
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Though Edmund Halley was most famous because of his achievements as an astronomer, he was a scientist of diverse interests and great skill In addition to studying the skies, Halley was also deeply interested in exploring the unknown depths of the oceans One of his lesser-known accomplishments that was quite remarkable was his design for a diving bell that facilitated exploration of the watery depths
The diving bell that Halley designed had a major advantage over the diving bells that were in use prior
to his Earlier diving bells could only make use of the air contained within the bell itself, so divers had
to surface when the air inside the bell ran low Halley's bell was an improvement in that its design
allowed for an additional supply of fresh air that enabled a crew of divers to remain underwater for several hours
The diving contraption that Halley designed was in the shape of a bell that measured three feet across the top and five feet across the bottom and could hold several divers comfortably; it was open at the
bottom so that divers could swim in and out at will The bell was built of wood, which was first heavily
tarred to make it water repellent and was then covered with a half-ton sheet of lead to make the bell heavy enough to sink in water The bell shape held air inside for the divers to breathe as the bell sank to the bottom
The air inside the bell was not the only source of air for the divers to breathe, and it was this improvement that made Halley's bell superior to its predecessors In addition to the air already in the bell, air was also supplied to the divers from a lead barrel that was lowered to the ocean floor close to the bell itself Air flowed through a leather pipe from the lead barrel on the ocean floor to the bell The diver could breath the air from a position inside the bell, or he could move around outside the bell wearing a diving suit that consisted of a lead bell-shaped helmet with a glass viewing window and a leather body suit, with a leather pipe carrying fresh air from the diving bell to the helmet
55 The subject of the preceding passage was most likely about Halley's
C many different interests D invention of the diving bell
56 Which of the following best expresses the subject of this passage?
A Halley's work as an astronomer
B Halley's many different interests
C Halley's invention of a contraption for diving
D Halley's experiences as a diver
Trang 3257 Halley's bell was better than its predecessors because it
58 The phrase “ran low” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
C sank to the bottom D was almost exhausted
59 How long could divers stay underwater in Halley's bell?
A Just a few seconds B Only a few minutes
C For hours at a time D For days on end
60 It is NOT stated in the passage that Halley's bell
A was wider at the top than at the bottom B was made of tarred wood
C was completely enclosed D could hold more than one diver
61 The phrase “at will” in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by
62 It can be inferred from the passage that, were Halley's bell not covered with lead, it would
C trap the divers D suffocate the divers
63 Where in the passage describes diving bells that preceded Halley's?
A Paragraph 1 B Paragraph 2 C Paragraph 3 D Paragraph 4
64 This passage would most likely be assigned reading in a course on
A astronomy B recreation C oceanography D physiology

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects - an estimated 90 percent of the world's species
have scientific names As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns
of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation
issues such as diversity
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is
the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found
