It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going for theday Then cola drinks hit the market With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon became the pick-me-
up of choice for many adults and teenagers Now drink companies are putting out so-called "energy drinks."These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more energy
Trang 5One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull The company that puts out this beverage has stated in
interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement drink for athletes.
Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer's body and mind In order to do this, the makers ofRed Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain chemicals to their beverages The addedchemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces for energy The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, andsugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure bet to give a person energy
Health professionals are not so sure, though For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show that all ofthe vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person's energy level Another problem is that there are somany things in the beverages Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy drinks work together
Dr Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all the
claims energy drinks make He says, —It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will get a good
result ―However, Dr Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact on the body - Wejust don't know at this point,‖ he says

222429 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 from 43 to 50.
Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming Scientistshave already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier andbirds hatching earlier in the spring Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migrationpatterns due to warmer temperatures
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate towards the poles and up mountainsides towards higherelevations Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grew too warm Inmany places, however, human development will prevent these shifts Species that find cities or farmland
blocking their way north or south may become extinct Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those
found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible.For example, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea ice buthave nowhere farther north to go
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult Some scientists have estimatedthat 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of furtherwarming The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals Somespecies and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enoughand may disappear
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming Warmer
ocean temperatures can cause coral to ―bleach", a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral.Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching anddeath of coral reefs around the world Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean andincreases the acidity of ocean waters This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems
From “Global Warming" by Michael Mastrandrea and Stephen H Schneider
Câu 43: Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flowers to
A bloom earlier B lose color C die instantly D become lighter

Câu 46: According to the passage, if some species are not able to adjust quickly to warmer
temperatures,
A they move to tropical forests B they will certainly need water
C they can begin to develop, D they may be endangered
Câu 47: The word "fragile‖ in paragraph 4 most probably means
