Because difference tree species adapting to different climates and soil types have

evolved over millennia, many kind of forests occupy the earth today The primitive forests of several hundred million years ago consisted of less kinds of trees In fact, the earliest ‘trees’, which grew nearly 500 million years ago, were like giant club

mosses They lacked true roots and consisted of a confused mass of specialized

branches that climbed over rock ground Fifty million years later came the dense

forests of tree ferns that prevailed in tropical climates of that era The forerunners of modern conifers-trees that bear cones – were on the scene 300 million years ago,

when plant life abundant colonized marshy land, building the tremendous coal and oil reserves so important today By the time the dinosaurs roamed the earth some 180 million years before, seed bearing trees that shed their leaves in winter had evolved; from these have sprung our present deciduous forests

to people He only growled and stared at them Finally the doctor won the boy's

The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house There are many museums devoted to

the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection displayed in a great country house Passing through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private estate for more than a century Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a family residence This fact is of

importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor: the rooms look as if they were vacated only a short while ago whether by

the original owners of the furniture or the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of personal interpretation Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of furniture and

architectural elements has been assembled Like an English country house, it is an organic

structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of displaying it to the visitor, has changed

over the years The changes have coincided with developing concepts of the American arts,

increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the

achievement of a historical effect in period-room displays The rooms at Winterthur have followed this current, yet still retained the character of a private house

The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years

in an effort to present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more meaning for the viewer Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history

museum, the period room represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture

Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION

Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below

The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal Other solid materialsuch as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures Also, somesubstances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water Theability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond together In order to bond

together the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost electrons This leaves the metal atoms

with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions The lost electrons are free to move in what are

Trang 21

known as a sea of electrons Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this

is what keeps the structure together

An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free

to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as abattery is connected to the metal Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, andthis is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity The only other common solidconducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a pencil

is made from) Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a way thatthere is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current Likewise, if we have anionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a current but onlywhen those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water In itssolid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow

Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they

contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow easily Water

itself is a poor conductor or electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully chargedparticles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral).However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be moreconductive than pure water Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices withwet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and itdissolves in the water to make it more conductive

81. Electrical conductivity is

A. one of the most important properties of metals

B. one of the key properties of most solid materials

C. impossible for any substance when it is dissolved in water

D. completely impossible for silicon

82. According to the passage, a metal can conduct electricity due to

A. the absence of free electrons B. its atoms with a positive charge

C. the way its atoms bond together D. the loss of one electron in the core of its atoms

83 The word “outermost” in paragraph 1 mostly means

A. the lightest B. nearest to the inside

C. furthest from the inside D. the heaviest

84. The atoms of a metal can bond together because

A. the lost electrons cannot move freely in the sea of electrons

B. electrons can flow in a single direction

C. they lose all of electrons

D. negatively charged electrons attract positive ions

85 Salt in its solid state is not able to conduct electricity because

A. it has free electrons B. its charged ions can flow easily

C. it cannot create any charge ions D. it charged ions are not free to move

86 The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to

A. charged ions B. electric currents C. charged particles D. electrical insulators

87 Water is a poor conductor because it contains

A. no positive or negative electric charge B. only a small amount of fully charged particles

C. only a positive electric charge D. only a negative electric charge

88. We can have problems when touching electrical devices with wet hands because

Trang 22

A. the eater itself is a good conductor of electricity

B. the water dissolves the salt on our skin and becomes more conductive

C. the water contains too many neutral molecules

D. the water containing no charged particles makes it more conductive

89. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Pure water is much more conductive than most water we encounter every day

B. Graphite is a common solid substance that can conduct electricity

C. Salt can conduct electricity when it is molten or dissolved

D. Some materials are more conductive than others

90. Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage?

On March 25, 1911, one of the five hundred employees of the Triangle Shirtwaist factory inNew York noticed that a rag bin near her eighth- floor work station was on fire Workers

immediately tried to extinguish the flames Their efforts prove futile, as piles of fabric ignited all

over the eighth floor The manager of the factory ordered his employees to unroll the fireextinguisher hose, but they found it rotted and useless

The shirt factory occupied the top three floors of the ten- story Asch Building The seventyemployees who worked on thetenth floor escaped the fire by way of the staircases or climbed ontothe roof, where students from New York University, located across the street, stretched ladders over

to the Asch Building

The 260 workers on the ninth floor had the worst luck of all Although the eighth- floorworkers tried to warn them by telephone, the call did not reach them, and by the time they learnedabout the fire, their routes of escape were mostly blocked Some managed to climb down the cables

of the freight elevator Others crammed into the narrow stairway Still others climbed onto the

single, inadequately constructed fire escape But that spindly structure could not support the weight

of hundreds of people, and it separated from the wall,fallingto the ground and carrying many peoplewith it

To combat the disaster, the New York Fire Department sent thirty five pieces of equipment,including a hook and ladder The young women trapped on the ninth- floor windowledge watchedinhorror as the ladder, fully raised, stopped far below them, reaching only as far as the sixth floor

Within minutes, the factory- a fire trap typical of the period’s working conditions- wasconsumed by flame, killing 146 workers, mostly immigrant women City officials set up atemporary morgue on 26th Street, and over the next few days streams of survivors filed through thebuilding toidentifythe dead

The Triangle Shirtwaist fire brought a public outcry for laws to regulate the safety ofworking conditions The New York Factory Investigating Commission was formed to examine theworking conditions infactories throughout the state Their reportintroduced many new regulations

The fire had occurred during an era of progressive reform that was beginning to sweep the nation,

as people decided that government had a responsibility to ensure that private industry protected thewelfare of working people

A balanced diet contains proteins, which are composed of complex amino acids There are 20

types of amino acids, comprising about 16 percent of the body weight in a lean individual A body

needs all 20 to be healthy Amino acids can be divided into two groups: essential and nonessential.There are 9 essential amino acids These are the proteins that the body cannot produce by itself, so a

healthy individual must ingest them The 11 nonessential amino acids, on the other hand, are

produced by the body, so it is not necessary to ingest them Proteins are described as being eitherhigh-quality or low-quality, depending on how many of the 9 essential amino acids the foodcontains High-quality proteins, typically found in animal meats, are proteins that have ampleamounts of the essential amino acids Low-quality proteins are mainly plant proteins and usuallylack one or more of the essential amino acids Since people who follow a strict vegetarian diet areingesting only low-quality proteins, they must make sure that their diets contain a variety ofproteins, in order to ensure that what is lacking in one food is available in another This process ofselecting a variety of the essential proteins is called protein complementation Since an insufficient

amount of protein in the diet can be crippling, and prolonged absence of proteins can cause death,

it is imperative that a vegetarian diet contains an ample amount of the essential proteins.
