Urban development is having a direct impact on the weather in (26) cities
worldwide It has been noticed that the difference in temperature is usually greater at night and
the phenomenon occurs in both winter and summer Experts agree that this is due to urban
development, when open green spaces are replaced with asphalt roads and tall brick or concrete
buildings These materials retain heat generated by the Sun and release it through the night In
Atlanta, in the US, this has even led to thunderstorms (27) occur in the morning rather
than, as is more common, in the afternoon
Large cities around the world are adopting strategies to combat this issue (28) it
is not uncommon to find plants growing on top of roofs or down the walls of large buildings In
Singapore, the government has (29) to transform it into a "city within a garden" and, in
2006, they held an international competition calling for entries to develop a master plan to help
bring this about One outcome was the creation of 18 "Super trees" – metal constructions
resembling very tall trees Each one is a vertical freestanding garden and is (30) to
exotic plants and ferns They also contain solar panels used to light the trees at night and also
containers to collect rainwater, making them truly self-sufficient

Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic miles of water From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned 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 dependent
Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and 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 substances than any other liquid It is this characteristic which helps make oceans 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 practiced, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast
Question 31: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to
A explain how water is used in commerce and industry
B describe the properties and uses of water in the oceans
C illustrate the importance of conserving water
D compare water with other liquids
Question 32: The phrase “This vast amount” in paragraph 1 refers to _
A 80,000 million cubic miles of water B 300 million cubic miles of water
C 80,000 cubic miles of water D 24,000 cubic miles of rain Question 33: The word “outstanding” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
Trang 5A special B exceptionally good C important D amusing Question 34: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because _
A they do not need oxygen B evaporation and condensation create a water cycle
C ice floats D there are currents
Question 35: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of water?
A Water expands when it is frozen B Water can absorb heat
C Water is a good solvent D Water contracts on cooling

Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source
is from the hive
Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent farther from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food No
one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could
have inferred the location of the new site
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural
environment as rudimentary tools One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees
occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts In one study, chimpanzees
Trang 6compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips One pair might contain, say, five
chips and three chips, the other our chips and three chips Allowed to choose which pair they
wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort
of summing ability Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items
and do simple sums

A The use of food in studies of animal behavior
B Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior
C The role of instinct in animal behavior
D Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory
experiments
