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.
Under certain circumstances, the human body must cope with gases at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure Forexample, gas pressures increase rapidly during a dive made with scuba gear because the breathing equipment allowsdivers to stay underwater longer and dive deeper The pressure exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere forevery 10 metres of depth in seawater, so that at 30 metres in seawater a diver is exposed to a pressure of about 4atmospheres The pressure of the gases being breathed must equal the external pressure applied to the body; otherwisebreathing is very difficult Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a scuba diver at 40 metre are present at fivetimes their usual pressure Nitrogen, which composes 80 percent of the air we breathe, usually causes a balmy feeling ofwell-being at this pressure At a depth of 5 atmospheres, nitrogen causes symptoms resembling alcohol intoxication,known as nitrogen narcosis Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from a direct effect on the brain of the large amounts ofnitrogen dissolved in the blood Deep dives are less dangerous if helium is substituted for nitrogen, because under these
pressures helium does not exert a similar narcotic effect.
As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen in the lungs increases Nitrogen then diffuses from the lungs to theblood, and from the blood to body tissues The reverse occurs when the diver surfaces; the nitrogen pressure in the lungsfalls and the nitrogen diffuses from the tissues into the blood, and from the blood into the lungs If the return to thesurface is too rapid, nitrogen in the tissues and blood cannot diffuse out rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed
They can cause severe pains, particularly around the joints.
Another complication may result if the breath is held during ascent During ascent from a depth of 10 metres, thevolume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at the surface is only half of what it was at 10 metres This
change in volume may cause the lungs to distend and even rupture This condition is called air embolism To avoid this
event, a diver must ascend slowly, never at a rate exceeding the rise of the exhaled air bubbles, and must exhale duringascent
Question 24: It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following presents the greatest danger to a diver?
A Nitrogen diffusion B Pressurized helium C An air embolism D Nitrogen bubbles Question 25: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A How to prepare for a deep dive B The equipment divers use
C The symptoms of nitrogen bubbles in the bloodstream D The effects of pressure on gases in the human body Question 26: What happens to nitrogen in body tissues if a diver ascends too quickly?
A It forms bubbles B It has a narcotic effect.
C It is reabsorbed by the lungs D It goes directly to the brain.
Question 27: The word "They" in bold in paragraph 2 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 questions.
Trang 3There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe Two that are frequently linked to one another
are earthquakes and tsunamis Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they hit However, tsunamis
are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them
The Earth has three main parts They are the crust, the mantle, and the core The crust is the outer layer of the Earth It
is not a single piece of land Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates There are a few enormous plates and manysmaller ones These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid As a result, the plates are in constant - yetslow - motion The plates may move away from or towards other plates In some cases, they collide violently with the
plates adjoining them The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock Over a long time, this tension may build
up When it is released, an earthquake happens
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year The vast majority are so small that only scientific instruments can
perceive them Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little harm or damage More
powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse They may additionallyinjure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change it appearance
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's oceans Underwaterearthquakes cause the seafloor to move This results in the displacement of water in the ocean When this occurs, a
tsunami may form This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the earthquake happened A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousnads of kilometres As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea This causes the tsunamis to increase in height Minutes later, the tsunami arrives A large tsunami - one more than ten metres in height - can travel far inland As it does that, it can flood the land,
destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers of people
Question 31: What is the passage mainly about?
A What kind of damage natural disasters can cause.
B How earthquakes and tsunamis occur.
C When earthquakes are the most likely to happen.
D Why tsunamis are deadlier than earthquakes.
Question 32: The word "adjoining" in bold in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
Question 33: Which of the following is true regarding the crust?
A It is the smallest of the Earth's three layers.
B There many separate pieces that make it up.
C The mantle beneath it keeps it from moving too much.
D It is thicker on land than it is under the water.
Question 34: Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?
A The most severe type of natural disaster is an earthquake.
B Earthquakes frequently take place after tsunamis do.
C A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake.
D Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis.
Question 35: The word "it" in bold in paragraph 2 refers to
Question 36: The word "perceive" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
Question 37: Based on the passage, what is probably true about tsunamis?
A They kill more people each year than earthquakes.
B They can be deadly to people standing near shore.
C They cannot damage ships sailing on the ocean.
D They are able to move as fast as the speed of sound.
Question 38: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 3 about earthquakes?
A How often powerful ones take place B How many people they typically kill
C What kind of damage they can cause D How severe the majority of them are

to each of the questions.
There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe Two that are frequently linked to one another
are earthquakes and tsunamis Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they hit However, tsunamis
are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them
The Earth has three main parts They are the crust, the mantle, and the core The crust is the outer layer of the Earth It
is not a single piece of land Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates There are a few enormous plates and manysmaller ones These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid As a result, the plates are in constant - yetslow - motion The plates may move away from or towards other plates In some cases, they collide violently with the
plates adjoining them The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock Over a long time, this tension may build
up When it is released, an earthquake happens
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year The vast majority are so small that only scientific instruments can
perceive them Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little harm or damage More
Trang 11powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse They may additionallyinjure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change it appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's oceans Underwaterearthquakes cause the seafloor to move This results in the displacement of water in the ocean When this occurs, a
tsunami may form This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the earthquake happened A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousnads of kilometres As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea This causes the tsunamis to increase in height Minutes later, the tsunami arrives A large tsunami - one more than ten metres in height - can travel far inland As it does that, it can flood the land,
destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers of people
Question 32: Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?
A The most severe type of natural disaster is an earthquake.
B A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake.
C Earthquakes frequently take place after tsunamis do.
D Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis.

B There many separate pieces that make it up.
C The mantle beneath it keeps it from moving too much.
D It is thicker on land than it is under the water.
Question 36: Based on the passage, what is probably true about tsunamis?
A They cannot damage ships sailing on the ocean.
B They can be deadly to people standing near shore.
C They are able to move as fast as the speed of sound.
D They kill more people each year than earthquakes.

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.
Under certain circumstances, the human body must cope with gases at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure Forexample, gas pressures increase rapidly during a dive made with scuba gear because the breathing equipment allowsdivers to stay underwater longer and dive deeper The pressure exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere forevery 10 metres of depth in seawater, so that at 30 metres in seawater a diver is exposed to a pressure of about 4atmospheres The pressure of the gases being breathed must equal the external pressure applied to the body; otherwisebreathing is very difficult Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a scuba diver at 40 metre are present at fivetimes their usual pressure Nitrogen, which composes 80 percent of the air we breathe, usually causes a balmy feeling ofwell-being at this pressure At a depth of 5 atmospheres, nitrogen causes symptoms resembling alcohol intoxication,known as nitrogen narcosis Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from a direct effect on the brain of the large amounts ofnitrogen dissolved in the blood Deep dives are less dangerous if helium is substituted for nitrogen, because under these
pressures helium does not exert a similar narcotic effect.
As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen in the lungs increases Nitrogen then diffuses from the lungs to theblood, and from the blood to body tissues The reverse occurs when the diver surfaces; the nitrogen pressure in the lungsfalls and the nitrogen diffuses from the tissues into the blood, and from the blood into the lungs If the return to thesurface is too rapid, nitrogen in the tissues and blood cannot diffuse out rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed
They can cause severe pains, particularly around the joints.
Another complication may result if the breath is held during ascent During ascent from a depth of 10 metres, thevolume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at the surface is only half of what it was at 10 metres This
change in volume may cause the lungs to distend and even rupture This condition is called air embolism To avoid this
event, a diver must ascend slowly, never at a rate exceeding the rise of the exhaled air bubbles, and must exhale duringascent
Trang 12Question 40: The word "rupture" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
Question 41: It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following presents the greatest danger to a diver?
A Nitrogen bubbles B An air embolism C Nitrogen diffusion D Pressurized helium Question 42: What should a diver do when ascending?
A Relax completely B Breathe faster C Breathe helium D Rise slowly
Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A The effects of pressure on gases in the human body B How to prepare for a deep dive
C The equipment divers use D The symptoms of nitrogen bubbles in the bloodstream Question 44: The word "exert" in bold in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
Question 45: The word "They" in bold in paragraph 2 refers to
Question 46: What happens to nitrogen in body tissues if a diver ascends too quickly?
C It has a narcotic effect D It goes directly to the brain.
