Read the following passage and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each for the question
Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the Earth’s waters that are caused by the Moon’s
and Sun’s forces of gravity acting on the Earth It is important to distinguish natural tidal
phenomena from huge tsunamis , with the latter being caused by earthquakes and
undersea volcanic eruptions
The Moon is a main factor controlling ordinary tides At the location on the Earth
closest to the Moon, it exerts a powerful gravitational pull on the water The resulting
rise in the water produces higher tides The water on the side of the Earth farthest away from the Moon also gets pulled by this lunar gravity, but not as strongly The Earth itself has its own gravitational force that is constantly pulling waters downward, which is why the oceans do not simply bulge out toward the Moon Ordinary tides usually feature high and low waters alternating in relation to the Earth’s rotation Most shores around the world have high waters and two low waters for each day, which last about 24 hours and 50 minutes The difference in height between the high water and
low water is called the range of tide, and it can be quite dramatic in narrower bays
.Canada’s bays of Fundy , for example , commonly experiences the world’s most
extreme tidal ranges , with daily differences of the 16 meters
Two other types of tides are influenced by the Sun, which is much farther away from
the Earth and exerts less than half of the Moon’s gravitational force When the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are directly in line, the solar and lunar gravitational forces add up
to produce higher spring tides The range of spring tides is intensified, with higher water marks and lower low water marks However, when the Moon is in the first or third quarter, it is at a 90–degree angle with the Sun in relation to the Earth The
opposing solar and lunar forces partially cancel each other out, and the result is a lower tide This is called a neap tide, which comes twice a month and has lower high water marks and higher low water marks The range of neap tides is minimum
Some tides do not occur over water at all The solid body of the Earth has slight elasticity, so lunar and solar gravity cause it to stretch very subtly These changes in the
Trang 5Earth’s shape, although imperceptible to humans, are known as Earth tides Another
tidal phenomenon, atmospheric tides, is caused by the Sun’s heating of the Earth’s atmosphere Like ordinary tides, they usually occur over 12–hour periods
Question36: Why does the author mention tsunamis in the
passage? A To explain that not all tides are caused by
gravity
B To give an example of an extreme tidal phenomenon
C To show that they are not related to natural tides
D To suggest that more categories for tides area needed
Question37: The word exerts in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A mixes with B bring into use C infers from D connects with
Question38: What can be inferred about Canada’s Bay of Fundy ?
A It may experience tsunamis because of its extreme tides
B It may have a longer tide cycle because of its wide variations
C It may be very narrow because it has wide tidal variations
D It may be influenced more by gravity than other places
Question39: The word imperceptible in the last paragraph could best be replace by
A not noticeable B difficult to explain C not generally D not able to be
said
Question40: What is true about the Moon’s gravitational
force? A It pulls water on the far side of the Earth
more strongly
B It is more than twice as powerful as that of the Sun
C It has reduced gravity when it is lined up with the Sun and the Earth
D Its force is strongest when it is located at 90 degrees to the Earth
Question41: Besides ordinary tides, how many other types of tide are mentioned in
the passage ?
Question42: Which of the following does not relate to Ordinary Tides ?
A Receiving greatest influence from the Moon
B Influenced by the Sun’s position relative to the Moon
C Taking turns the higher and lower water relating to the Earth’s rotation
D Having the striking range of tide in narrower bays

Charles Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1902 but was raised on a farm in Minnesota, where his father was elected to the U.S Congress in 1907 From then on, he spent his boyhood alternately in Washington, D.C Detroit, and Little Falls, Minnesota Because Lindbergh exhibited exceptional mechanical talent, in 1921 he was admitted to the University of Wisconsing to study engineering However, the young man was seeking more challenging endeavors, and two years later he became a
stunt pilot who performed feats at county fairs and public assemblies This unusual and dangerous undertaking paid off handsomely in the sense that it allowed him to

New York to Paris This ambition would irreversibly change his life and accord him a
prominent place in the history of aviation
Embarking on the greatest adventure of his time, Lindbergh left Roosevelt Field
at 7:52 A.M on May 20, 1927, and landed at Le Bourget Field at 5:24 P.M the next day Fearing that he would be unknown when he arrived, Lindbergh carried letters of
introduction to dignitaries in Paris, but when his plane came to a stop, he was
overwhelmed by tremendous welcoming crowds He was decorated in France, Great Britain, and Belgium, and President Coolidge sent a specially designated cruiser, the Memphis, to bring him back, His accomplishments in aeronautics brought him more medals and awards than had ever been received by any other person in private life

he
A opted for the life of an exhibition pilot B pursued training in the military
C was seeking a sedentary life–style D set out to win recognition
Question45: The word “handsomely” is closest in meaning to
A honorably B handily C well D in time
Question46: The word “undertaking ” refers to…
A studying at the university B exhibiting mechanical talents
C seeking challenging endeavors D performing feats
Question47: The author of the passage implies that Lindbergh’s job with Robertson
Aircraft Corporation
A required regular intercity flights B was not intended as long–term employment C required him to perform dangerous flights D necessitated his
running long distances
Question48: According to the passage, how old was Lindbergh when he carried out his
challenging flight?
A Twenty–one B Twenty–three C Twenty–four D Twenty–five
Question49: The author of the passage implies that Lindbergh did not anticipate
becoming a

Question50: A paragraph following the passage would most probably discuss
A the development of commercial and military aviation
Trang 7B the reaction of the government to Lindbergh’s flight
C the effect of instant celebrity on Lindbergh
D Lindbergh’s aircraft and engine modifications
