Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the following questions
In the world today, particular in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is the big news
People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time The motto of the recycling movement is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”.
The first step is to reduce garbage In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and a bag All that packaging is wasted resources People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products When low-quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers To reduce garbage, the throw-away must stop
The second step is to reuse It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the stores The manufacturers of the drinks collect bottles, wash them, and then fill them again The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a
common practice In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throw-away bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again Aluminum cans are expensive to make It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world’s precious resources
Câu 45:Which area is considered one of the most industrialized?
Câu 46 :What does the word “sensitive” means?

C customers always change their idea D they are very cheap.
Câu 49:What is the topic of the passage?
A How to live sensitively to the environment B How to reduce garbage disposal.
C What is involved in the recycling movement D What people understand the term “recycle”
Câu 50:People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT _
A buy high-quality products B buy simply-wrapped things
Câu 51:What best describe the process of reuse?
A The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed.
B The bottles are collected, washed, returned and filled again.
C The bottles are washed, returned filled again and collected.
D The bottles are collected, returned, filled again and washed.
Câu 52:The word “practice” is closest in meaning to _.
Câu 53:Garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because _
A people are ordered to return bottles B returned bottles are few
C each returned bottle is paid D few bottles are made of glass or plastic
Trang 4Câu 54:What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?

C Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings D Aluminum cans and spent motor oil.
Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the following questions
Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme heat One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun’s rays Desert mammals also depart from the
normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constant body temperature Instead of trying to keep down the body
temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant’s gazelles The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel This is an advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day
Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be fatal for
non-adapted animals The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water
to rehydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do
not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures Desert-adapted
mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst
Câu 55 :What is the main topic of the passage?
A Weather variations in the desert B Adaptations of desert animals.
C Diseased of desert animals D Human use of desert animals.
Câu 56 :According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals?
A It helps them hide from predators B It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors
C It helps them see their young at night D It keeps them cool at night.
Câu 57 :The word “maintaining” is closest in meaning to _.
Câu 58 :The author uses of Grant’s gazelle as an example of
A an animal with a low average temperature
B an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel
C a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures
D a desert animal with a constant body temperature
Câu 59 :When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower?
Câu 60 :The word “tolerate” is closest in meaning to _.
Câu 61 :What causes water intoxication?
A Drinking too much water very quickly B Drinking polluted water
Câu 62 :Why does the author mention humans in the second paragraph?
A To show how they use camels B To contrast them to desert mammals
C To give instructions about desert survival D To show how they have adapted to desert life.
Câu 63 :The word “obtain” is closest in meaning to _.
Câu 64 : Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an adaptation of large desert animals?
A Variation in body temperatures B Eating while dehydrated
C Drinking water quickly D Being active at night
