The response of most animals when suddenly faced with predator is to flee Natural selection has
acted in a variety of ways in different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviors, known as “flight
behaviors” or escape behaviors that are used by prey in fleeing predators Perhaps the most direct
adaptation is enhanced flight speed and agility
Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way Many species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the presence of predators that are faster than they are and straight flight more effective against predators that are slower One observation that supports this
suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-headed show frequent changes in flight
direction when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds)
A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called “flash” behavior Here, the
alarmed prey flees for a short distance and then “freezes.” Some predators are unexcited by immobile
prey, and a startling flash of activity followed by immobility may confuse them “Flash” behavior is used
in particularby frogs and orthopteran insects which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile In some species, “flash” behavior is enhanced by the display of bright body markings Good examples of insects with the colorful markings are the red and yellow under-wing moths At rest, both species are a
Trang 4MÃ ĐỀ THI: 893514
cryptic brown color When they fly, however, brightly colored hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly conspicuous Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly colored patches or frills that may serve a “flash” function when they move quickly Some species even appear to possess “flash” sounds The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the movement
41. The word “enhance” is closest in meaning to _
A encourage B resist C increase D reveal
42. The description of the prey’s movement as “zigzag” suggests that the movement is _
A reliable B fast C constant D unpredictable
43. It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare _
A.is faster than most of its predators B is capable of two kinds of flight
C is more likely to escape using straight flight D is preyed upon by gulls and falcons
44. It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the following reasons?
A.The falcons are faster than the gulls B The gulls want to capture the falcons
C The falcons are unpredictable D The gulls depend on the falcons for
protection
45. The word “alarmed” is closest in meaning to
A moving B selected C frightened D exhausted
46. All of the following are mentioned as characteristics of “flash” behavior EXCEPT _
A brief conspicuous
activity
B immobility C bright body
markings
D aggressive fighting
47. The hind wings of red and yellow under-wing moths function in a way that is most similar to _
A.the hind wings of peregrine falcons B The zigzag flight of European hares
C The colored patches on frogs D The clicking of grasshoppers
48. Why does the author mention “grasshopper” in the last line?
A To contrast animals that “flash” with animals that “freeze”
B As an example of an animal whose “flash” behavior is a sound
C To compare the jumping behavior of insects and reptiles
D As an example of a predator that moths escape by using “flash” behavior

Until recently, hunting for treasure from shipwrecks was mostly fantasy; with recent technological advances, however, the search for sunken treasure has become more popular as a legitimate endeavor This has caused a debate between those wanting to salvage the wrecks and those wanting to preserve them
Treasure hunters are spurred on by the thought of finding caches of gold coins or other valuable
objects on a sunken ship One team of salvagers, for instance, searched the wreck of the RMS Republic,
which sank outside the Boston harbor in 1900 The search party, using side-scan sonar, a device that
projects sound waves across the ocean bottom and produces a profile of the sea floor, located the wreck in
just two and a half days Before the use of this new technology, such searches could take months or years The team of divers searched the wreck for two months, finding silver tea services, crystal dinnerware, and thousands of bottles of wine, but they did not find the five and a half tons of American Gold Eagle coins they were searching for

Preservationists focus on the historic value of a ship They say that even if a shipwreck's treasure does not have a high monetary value, it can be an invaluable source of historic artifacts that are preserved
in nearly mint condition But once a salvage team has scoured a site, much of the archaeological value is
lost Maritime archaeologists who are preservationists worry that the success of salvagers will attract more treasure-hunting expeditions and thus threaten remaining undiscovered wrecks Preservationists are
lobbying their state lawmakers to legally restrict underwater searches and unregulated salvages To
counter their efforts, treasure hunters argue that without the lure of gold and million-dollar treasures, the wrecks and their historical artifacts would never be recovered at all
49. What is the main idea of this passage?
A Searching for wrecks is much easier with new technologies like side-scan sonar
B Maritime archaeologists are concerned about the unregulated searching of wrecks
C The search of the RMS Republic failed to produce the hoped-for coins
D The popularity of treasure seeking has spurred a debate between preservationists and salvagers
50. The word "sunken" is closest in meaning to which of the following words?
A broken B underwater C ancient D hollow
51. Which of the following could best replace the phrase "a profile" as used in the passage?
A a projection B an execution C a highlight D an outline
52. Which of the following statements is best supported by the author?
A The value of a shipwreck depends on the quantity of its artifacts
B Preservationists are fighting the use of technological advances such as side-scan sonar
C The use of sound waves is crucial to locating shipwrecks
D Side-scan sonar has helped to legitimize salvaging
53. The author uses the phrase "mint condition" in to describe
A something perfect B something
significant
C something tolerant D something magical
54. All of the following were found on the RMS Republic EXCEPT
A American Gold Eagle
coins
B silver tea services
C wine bottles D crystal dinnerware
55. From the passage, you can infer that a preservationist would be most likely to
A.shun treasure-seeking salvagers B be a diver
C put treasures in a museum D do archaeological research
56. The word "scoured" is most similar to which of the following?
A scraped away B scratched over C scrambled around D searched through

RADICAL WAYS TO 'REFREEZE' THE ARCTIC
An iceberg would then form naturally inside, before being ejected a month later According to the team behind the project, the hexagonal shape may encourage the icebergs (or "ice babies" as Kotahatuhaha refers to them) to interlock with one another and form larger frozen masses
(77) The designers are yet to finalize how the vehicle would be powered, though they intend for
the vessel to be fully sustainable But could the submarines, in theory, work?
Andrew Shepherd, a professor of Earth observation at the UK's Leeds University, described the idea as an "interesting engineering solution," though he questioned the project's scalability He estimated that replacing polar ice at the same rate it has disappeared in the last four decades would require around
10 million submarines
"That's a lot of machines," Shepherd said in an email "For context, that's not far off the total number of Model-T Fords built in all time."
(78)
"The Arctic has lost ice from year to year in the last decade," he said on the phone from Jakarta
"So we tried to solve the problem through a different way of thinking
"Richer countries have millions to spend on (sea walls and) protection, but what about poor
countries with no budget for (defending against) rising sea levels? This is a problem the world now faces
together We have a different approach: (79) ”
A possible flaw in the proposal and others like it is that making ice does not significantly alter sea levels If the ice is still floating in the water it formed from, then sea's overall mass doesn't change (The icebergs would have to be "moved on to land" if they were to lower sea levels, Shepherd said)
(80) Snow and ice reflect significantly more sunlight than open water does, so bigger, frozen
surfaces mean more radiation is sent back to space
77 A But for Kotahatuhaha and his team, big problems require bold innovation
B It's an early concept design, and many questions remain
C Since 1990, British physicist John Lanham has explored a technique known as marine cloud brightening, in which particles such as the salt in seawater are injected into clouds to increase the amount of sunlight they reflect
D Detractors say that plans to refreeze the Arctic address the symptom, not the cause
78 A While he accepts that his iceberg-making submarines are a "utopian project," he wants experts
from different fields to help build radical visions into viable solutions
B Indeed, even if proposals did prove feasible, none would combat the carbon consumption
responsible for diminishing sea ice in the first place
Trang 10MÃ ĐỀ THI: 893514
C As Julienne Stroeve, a professor at University College London and senior scientist at the
National Snow and Ice Data Center, told CNN when the Arizona State University's team first proposed its wind-powered pump concept:
D But for Kotahatuhaha, the proposal is not only about feasibility it's about finding a different way to approach climate challenges
79 A Rather than defending against sea level rises, we think it's better (to carry out) some kind of
intervention to tackle the problem
B Brighter clouds could mean that less sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, thus reducing
summer melting and encouraging the replenishment of ice during the winter
C Researchers found that treated ice was thicker and more reflective than untreated ice
D Innovation is the first step to opening (our) way of thinking, then technology and research regarding feasibility must be deepened
80 A They need collaboration from civil engineers, electrical engineers, economists and others
B Elsewhere, the US non-profit group Ice911 has spent the last decade developing a highly
reflective sand-like material that can be scattered on ice to protect it from the sun's rays
C But reversing, or at least slowing, the alarming decline of polar sea ice is about more than rising oceans
D Thus, the excess heat at lower latitudes would still be transported towards the Arctic via
atmospheric and oceanic circulation and this would counter efforts to grow ice in the Arctic
