Trang 11When the first white men came to America, they found natural resources of tremendous value Forests cover a large part of the nation, later gas, oil and minerals were found in unbelievable amounts There was
a great abundance of very fertile soil Forests, prairies, streams and rivers abounded with wildlife So vast
were these resources that it seemed that they could never be used up So forests were destroyed to make way for farmland Grassland and prairies were plowed and harrowed Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to supply a young industrial nation Almost every river became the scene of factories, mills and power companies Mammals and birds were slaughtered for food and sport
Within a short time, the results were obvious Floods caused millions of dollars worth of damage yearly The very fertile soil washed away or blew up in great clouds The seemingly inexhaustible oil and
minerals showed signs of depletion Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from
factories Many of the rivers were made unfit for fish Several species of birds disappeared, and some mammals seemed on the verge of going Future timber shortages were predicted In short, Americans soon came to realize that some sorts of conservation program must be set up, if future as well as present Americans were to share the resources that are the heritage of every American
46.The title that best expresses the main theme or subject of this selection is _
What the first white men found in America
The loss of top soil.
The cause of timber shortage.
The story of America’s natural resources
Câu 47 (1 i m)để
47.It seemed to the early American settlers that
fertile soil was scarce
the natural resources were inexhaustible
forests should not be cut
there was a shortage of minerals.
Câu 48 (1 i m)để
48.The use of America’s natural resources by the early settlers was _
careless
scientific
unbelievable
predicted
Câu 49 (1 i m)để
49.Much of the fertile soil of America has
sunk deep into the earth
been covered by lakes

Trang 12been eroded by wind and water
become the scene of factories.
Câu 50 (1 i m)để
One reason why many of the rivers were no longer suitable living places for fish is that
too many fish have been caught
a conservation program has been set up
floods have caused much damage
factories have dumped waste into rivers
Câu 51 (1 i m)để
51.According to the passage, all of the following are true, EXCEPT
The early Americans settlers used a lot of minerals and oil.
They killed animals for food and sport
They grew different kinds of plants in prairies.
They plowed and harrowed grasslands and prairies.
Câu 52 (1 i m)để
52.The word “abounded with” in line 3 could best be replaced by
were profitable in
were abundant in
were covered with
were filled with
Câu 53 (1 i m)để
53.A The word “silt” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
dust
soil
mud
land
Câu 54 (1 i m)để
Some species of birds and mammals seemed
to be killed
to die
to become extinct

Trang 13to be slaughtered
Câu 55 (1 i m)để
55.Americans soon realized that _
they should stop killing animals for food
they must give up exploiting minerals
they shouldn’t reclaim the land
they must establish a conservation program
Câu 56 (1 i m)để
56.What does the passage mainly discuss?
Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior.
The use of food in studies of animal behavior.
The role of instinct in animal behavior.
Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments.
Câu 57 (1 i m)để
Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered One example of such unexplained behavior:
Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun’s position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting
for their food No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce,
could have inferred the location of the new site
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment
as rudimentary tools One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young
how to use tools to open hard nuts In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells
containing chocolate chips One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips
and three chips Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability Other chimpanzees have learned to use
numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums
57.Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?
Communicating emotions
Remembering past experiences

Trang 14Selecting among choices

Câu 58 (1 i m)để
58.What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site?
To determine the quality of food at a site
To increase the speed of travel to food sources
To identify the type of nectar that is available
To communicate the location of food
