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 following questions.
Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic miles ofwater From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation andreturned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the
continents This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and
fauna are depepbent Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence
The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any othe liquid One anomaly isthat water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling For this reason, ice floats onwater bodies instead of sinking to the bottom If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thinlayer of surface melt water during the summer season Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warmand cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent
Another outstanding characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids
except ammonia This characteristic enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing
climatic extremes In addition, water dissolves more substance than any other liquid It is this characteristic that helps makeoceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents In several areas of the world these

Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring
for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small Now, however, businessesowned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout
the 1990s As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade
of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur." What are some ofthe factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world,
they are finding obstacles Women are still excluded from most executive suites Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant,
had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board
Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own."
In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's fields": cosmetics and clothing, for example But this ischanging Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business It was founded in 1973 bySandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in maths and engineering When Kurtzig founded the business, herfirst product was a software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers - and her office was a bedroom
at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company's cash After she succeeded with the newspaper software
system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs When these were marketed andsold, ASK began to grow It now has 200 employees and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock
Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do They still face hurdles in the businessworld, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes diehard Most businesses owned by women are still quite small But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many moreSandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead
Question 43: According to the passage, Charlotte Taylor believes that women in the 1970s
A were still more interested in education than business opportunities
B had fewer obstacles in business than they do today
C were unable to work hard enough to succeed in business
D were unrealistic about their opportunities in business management
Question 44: It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that businesses operated by women are small
because
A women are not able to borrow money easily B women prefer a small intimate setting
C women can't deal with money D many women fail at large businesses
Question 45: What is the main idea of this passage?
A Women are better at small businesses than men are
B Women today are opening more businesses of their own.
C Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the business world.
D The computer is especially lucrative for women today
Question 46: The word "that" in the first paragraph refers to
A a woman becomes chairman of the board B women achieving advanced degrees
Trang 4C women believing that business is a place for them D women working hard
Question 47: The author's attitude about the future of women in business is
Question 48: All of the following were mentioned in the passage as detriments to women in the business world
EXCEPT
A women were not trained in business B women lacked ability to work in business
C women were required to stay at home with their families D women faced discrimination in business
Question 49: The author mentions the "shoebox under the bed" in the second paragraph in order to
A point out that initially the financial resources of Sandra Kurtzig's business were limited
B suggest that the company needed to expand
C show the resourcefulness of Sandra Kurtzig
D show the frugality of women in business
Question 50: The word "excluded" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to
A decorators of B often invited to C charged admission to D not permitted in

fauna are depepbent Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence
The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any othe liquid One anomaly isthat water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling For this reason, ice floats onwater bodies instead of sinking to the bottom If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thinlayer of surface melt water during the summer season Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warmand cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent
Another outstanding characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids
except ammonia This characteristic enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing
climatic extremes In addition, water dissolves more substance than any other liquid It is this characteristic that helps makeoceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents In several areas of the world these
minerals are being commercially exploited Solar evaporation of salt is widely practised, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast.
Question 19: The phrase "this vast amount" in the first paragraph refers to

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 following questions.
Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring
for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small Now, however, businessesowned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout
the 1990s As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade
of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur." What are some ofthe factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world,
they are finding obstacles Women are still excluded from most executive suites Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant,
had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board
Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own."
In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's fields": cosmetics and clothing, for example But this ischanging Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business It was founded in 1973 bySandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in maths and engineering When Kurtzig founded the business, herfirst product was a software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers - and her office was a bedroom
at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company's cash After she succeeded with the newspaper software
system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs When these were marketed andsold, ASK began to grow It now has 200 employees and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock
Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do They still face hurdles in the businessworld, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes diehard Most businesses owned by women are still quite small But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many moreSandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead
Question 43: All of the following were mentioned in the passage as detriments to women in the business world
EXCEPT
A women were required to stay at home with their families B women lacked ability to work in business
C women were not trained in business D women faced discrimination in business
Question 44: According to the passage, Charlotte Taylor believes that women in the 1970s
A were unrealistic about their opportunities in business management
B were still more interested in education than business opportunities
C were unable to work hard enough to succeed in business
D had fewer obstacles in business than they do today
Question 45: The author mentions the "shoebox under the bed" in the second paragraph in order to
A suggest that the company needed to expand
B show the frugality of women in business
C point out that initially the financial resources of Sandra Kurtzig's business were limited
D show the resourcefulness of Sandra Kurtzig
Question 46: What is the main idea of this passage?
Trang 12A Women are better at small businesses than men are
B Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the business world.
C Women today are opening more businesses of their own.
D The computer is especially lucrative for women today
Question 47: It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that businesses operated by women are small
because
A many women fail at large businesses B women prefer a small intimate setting
C women are not able to borrow money easily D women can't deal with money
Question 48: The word "that" in the first paragraph refers to
A a woman becomes chairman of the board B women working hard
C women achieving advanced degrees D women believing that business is a place for them
Question 49: The word "excluded" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to
A charged admission to B decorators of C often invited to D not permitted in
Question 50: The author's attitude about the future of women in business is

Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic miles ofwater From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation andreturned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the
continents This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and
fauna are depepbent Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence
The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any othe liquid One anomaly isthat water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling For this reason, ice floats onwater bodies instead of sinking to the bottom If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thinlayer of surface melt water during the summer season Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warmand cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent
