A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of
the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice Now known as Lake
Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the
scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have
survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this
Question 23: What is true of Lake Vostok?
A It is completely frozen B It is a saltwater lake
C It is beneath a thick slab of ice D It is heated by the sun
Question 24: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it
C could not determine the lake's exact size D was controlled by a satellite
Trang 3A there were no lake underneath B the lake were not so big
C Antarctica were not so cold D radio waves were not used
Question 26: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the
following?
A Pieces of dust B Tiny bubbles C Tiny organisms D Rays of light
Question 27: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it
A can be studied using radio waves B may contain uncontaminated microbes
C may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D has already been contaminated
Question 28: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of
A further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica B problems with satellite-borne radar
equipment
C ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it D the harsh climate of Antarctica
Question 29: The purpose of the passage is to
A explain how Lake Vostok was discovered B provide satellite data concerning
Antarctica
C discuss future plans for Lake Vostok D present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica's geograph y
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 30 to 37
Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding natural resources We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source
of environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful
production practices We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the environment Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which
is abandoned and poorly stored It represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it
degrades and leaks into the earth without any control at all
Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an ecosystem It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability
of food up through the food chain It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff The health of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water In addition water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies When other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the ground by manmade or natural processes Depending on the study of rocks of the area,
groundwater may rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink deeper into the earth In many parts of fhe world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals
Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as
contaminants are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body Certain air contaminants can
also harm animals and humans when they contact the skin Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air

A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (38) between husband and wife Young couples will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work
opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the children Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish themselves and provide a secure environment for the family Husband and wife may also share household chores Some
fathers are just as capable as mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry
In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family (39) and the father becomes the
“househusband." These cases are still fairly rare One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to
be spending more time with their children In a recent survey, 41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers “This is one of our most significant cultural changes,” says Dr Leon Hoffman, who co-directs the
Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society In practice, for over 30 years, Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care-taking to general decision (40) around kids' lives.”
Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula The number of people who work from home nearly full-time rose 23% from the last decade The (41) _ of technology - computers, faxes, teleconferencing - has made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the (42) of children?

Most people will praise many technological gadgets that they use in their everyday lives Technology is developing at a very fast rate, and what most people did not even think could be real

technology for many of its achievements and advancements, what many don’t realize is that it has affected and continues to affect society and people in general in a negative way
Newspaper companies, as we all know, have been hit very hard by the advancements in
technology Big newspapers have been forced to either lay off a percentage of their work force or shut down altogether because news is readily available for free on the Internet Music does not have
to be purchased at music stores any more because MP3 files are readily available on the Internet as
well, thus causing them to shut their doors for good The movie industry has also been hit hard
because DVD sales have decreased since people can pay for and download their favorite movies online
Technology has its benefits, but when you take a look at how people communicate with one another, you will quickly see that it has a negative impact Modern technology has allowed people
to communicate with just about anyone they want to at any given time The fact remains that people
do not interact personally with one another as often as they used to This has created a barrier for
face-to-face communication among people because they no longer have to hold a meeting in an
office or they no longer have to call friends or family members together to wish them a happy
birthday or congratulate them on their recent success
As a result, people don’t feel the urgent need to step outside of their home to find
entertainment, such as participating in a dynamic game of basketball with friends, meeting a friend
at a coffee shop, etc

A is developing rapidly B comes true C benefits us a lot D has its disadvantages

Dirty drinking water exists especially in the countryside, where the population gets water from shallow wells This water has become more and more contaminated through farming, factories and house waste
While air pollution has caught the attention of the country’s politicians, the situation of the underground water has widely
been ignored China may be facing another big environmental problem
According to the report large cities are not affected by water pollution because they got their water from underground reservoirs that are often hundreds or thousands of feet deep In addition, cities operate purification plants that get rid of harmful substances before water drinking gets to the people
On the other hand the use of shallow underground water in rural areas has grown considerably in the past decade The report states that nitrates and ammonia are the major pollutants In some areas heavy metals were also found in the water
Trang 15Authorities found out that while none of the 2.000 investigated wells had a Class I water quality, over 70% were classified
in the worst two categories, those unfit for drinking
Question 30: What is the passage mainly about?
A Drinking water problems in the world B Polluted water drinking in the countryside
C Problems with water drinking in China D Underground water in China
Question 31: According to the passage, the population doesn’t get water from all of the following EXCEPT ?
Question 32: The word “It” in paragraph one refers to
A the country B shallow ground water C the study D ground water
Question 33: The residents in big cities are not affected by the contamination of water because
A their water is taken from the deep wells B they get water from the shallow reservoirs
C water is taken from the underground reservoirs and it is purified before use D they have purification machines

Species that belong to an area are said to be native species Typically, they have been part of a given biological landscape for a long period, and they are well adapted to the local environment and to the presence of other native species in the same general habitat Exotic species are interlopers, foreign elements introduced intentionally or accidentally into new settings through human activities In one context an introduced species may cause no obvious problems and may, over time, be regarded as being just as "natural" as any native species in the same habitat In another context, exotics may seriously disrupt delicate ecological balances and create a cascade
of unintended consequences The worst of these unintended consequences arise when introduced species put native species in destruction by preying on them, altering their habitats, or out-competing them in the struggle for food resources Although biological introductions have affected environments the world over, the most destructive, effects have occurred on islands, where introduced insects, cats, pigs, rats, mongooses, and other nonnative species have caused the grave endangerment or outright extinction of literally hundreds of species during the past 500 years
One of other reason to cause species extinction is overexploitation This word refers to the utilization of a species at a rate that is likely to cause its extreme endangerment or outright extinction Among many examples of severe overexploitation, the case of the great whales stands out in special relief By the middle of the 20th century, unrestricted whaling had brought many species of whales to incredibly low population sizes In response
to public pressure, in 1982 a number of nations, including the USA, agreed to an international moratorium on whaling As a direct result, some whale species which are thought to have been on extinction's doorstep 25 years ago have made amazing comebacks, such as grey whales in the western Pacific Others remain at great risk Many other species, however, continue to suffer high rates of exploitation because of the trade in animal parts Currently, the demand for animal parts is centered in several parts of Asia where there is a strong market for traditional medicines made from items like tiger bone and rhino horn
Question 36.Native species _
A are not used to the local environment
B never get along well with other native species in the same environment
C tend to do harm to exotic species
D have been part of a given biological landscape for a long period
Question 37.Exotic species _
A do no harm to native species and the local environment
B may kill native species for food
C always share the environment peacefully with native species
D help to make the local environment more ideal to survive
Trang 26Question 38.According to the first paragraph, _
A non-native species have caused badly damage to native ones
B introducing new exotic species to local environments is necessary
C exotic species have never been introduced on islands
D very few native species have been damaged by exotic species
Question 39.According to the second paragraph, by the middle of the 20 century _
A whale population was the most crowded in marine life B whale hunting was illegal
C whale population increased dramatically D whaling was not restricted
Question 40.Tiger bone and rhino horn _
A are not popular in Asian markets B are never in the trade of animal parts
C are used for making traditional medicines D cannot be found in Asian markets
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 40 to 50
The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the planet access to information Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than 2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject Unlike other encyclopedias, however,
Wikepedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people These writers are not paid and their names are not
published They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge
Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human knowledge
The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education” Real popularity for
encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the publication of encyclopedias written for ordinary readers With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount of information could be put on a few computer discs Then with the Internet, it became possible to create an online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta However, even Internet-based encyclopedias like
Encarta were written by paid experts At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in
Chicago, was not so different from these In 2001, he had the idea for an Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone Furthermore, that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time
But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the
articles, and so he began by hiring experts He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long time
to finish their work He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online To do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users to create or alter content on web page The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles If you find an article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it This process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes
Question 41: Wikipedia is a(n)
A book B journal C article D dictionary
Question 42: Wikipedia is written by
A paid written B millionaires C normal people D world experts
Question 43: The phrase “these writers” in the first paragraph refers to
A ordinary readers B ordinary people C encyclopedia experts D every subject
Question 44: The phrase “the word” in the second paragraph refers to
A knowledge B encyclopedia C writing D collection
Question 45: Microsoft’s Encarta is cited in the passage as an example of
Question 46: The word “brainchild” in the second paragraph of the passage can be best replaced by
Trang 275
Question 47: The word “approach” in the third paragraph of the passage means
Question 48: The user of Wikipedia can do all of the following EXCEPT
A have access to information B determinate the website
Question 49: We can say that Jimmy Wales
A became very famous after the formation of Wikipedia B is the father of Wikipedia
C made a great profit from Wikipedia D decides who can use Wikipedia
Question 50: Wiki software enables
A exchanging articles B a purchase of information C limited access D editing

Scientists have discovered that for the last 160,000 years, at least, there has been a consistent
relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and the average temperature of the planet The importance of carbon dioxide in regulating the Earth's temperature was confirmed by scientists working in eastern Antarctica Drilling down into a glacier, they extracted a mile-long cylinder of ice from the hole The glacier had formed as layer upon layer of snow accumulated year after year Thus drilling into the ice was tantamount to drilling back through time
The deepest sections of the core are composed of water that fell as snow 160,000 years ago Scientists
in Grenoble, France, fractured portions of the core and measured the composition of ancient air released from bubbles in the ice Instruments were used to measure the ratio of certain isotopes in the frozen water
to get an idea of the prevailing atmospheric temperature at the time when that particular bit of water became locked in the glacier
Trang 33Trang 5/5 - Mã đề thi 133
The result is a remarkable unbroken record of temperature and of atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide Almost every time the chill of an ice age descended on the planet, carbon dioxide levels dropped When the global temperature dropped 9°F (5°C), carbon dioxide levels dropped to 190 parts per million or so Generally, as each ice age ended and the Earth basked in a warm interglacial period, carbon dioxide levels were around 280 parts per million Through the 160,000 years of that ice record, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere fluctuated between 190 and 280 parts per million, but never rose much higher-until the Industrial Revolution beginning in the eighteenth century and continuing today
There is indirect evidence that the link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperature change goes back much further than the glacial record Carbon dioxide levels may have been much greater than the current concentration during the Carboniferous period, 360 to 285 million years ago The period was named for a profusion of plant life whose buried remains produced a large fraction of the coal deposits that are being brought to the surface and burned today
Question 43: Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?
A Chemical causes of ice ages
B Techniques for studying ancient layers of ice in glaciers
C Evidence of a relationship between levels of carbon dioxide and global temperature
D Effects of plant life on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere
Question 44: According to the passage, the drilling of the glacier in eastern Antarctica was important because it _
A allowed scientists to experiment with new drilling techniques
B permitted the study of surface temperatures in an ice-covered region of the Earth
C provided insight about climate conditions in earlier periods
D confirmed earlier findings about how glaciers are formed
Question 45: The phrase "tantamount to" in line 5 is closest in meaning to _
A complementary to
B practically the same as
C especially well suited to
D unlikely to be confused with
Question 46: According to the passage, scientists used isotopes from the water of the ice core to
determine which of following?
A The amount of air that had bubbled to the surface since the ice had formed
B The temperature of the atmosphere when the ice was formed
C The date at which water had become locked in the glacier
D The rate at which water had been frozen in the glacier
Question 47: The word "remarkable" in line 12 is closest in meaning to
C at the end of each ice age
D between 360 and 285 million years ago
Question 49: According to the passage, the Carboniferous period was characterized by
A a reduction in the number of coal deposits
B the burning of a large amount of coal
C an abundance of plants
D an accelerated rate of glacier formation
Question 50: The passage explains the origin of which of the following terms?

IN ONE CUBIC FOOT
In any environment- forest, mountain, or water- you always see the big animals first: birds, mammals, fish But under your feet, on land or in the water, there are many smaller
organisms: insects, tiny plants, miniature sea creatures They seem unimportant, but, in fact,
these sea creatures and ground dwellers are “ the heart of life on the Earth”, says naturalist E.O Wilson Without them, our world would change dramatically
Most organisms on the Earth live on the ground or just below it Here, they are not part of
an important cycle Plants and animals fall to the ground when they die Later, tiny insects and other organisms break down the dead plant and animal material This process eventually returns nutrients to the soil and gives plants energy Plants can then help to maintain a healthy environment for humans and other animals
Despite their importance, scientists know very little about most ground organisms To
learn more, photographer David Liittschwager went to different place around the world, including a forest, a river, a mountain, and a coral reef In each place, he put a green 12-inch cube on the ground or in the water Then he and his team counted and photographed the organisms that lived in or moved through the cube Often they discovered hundreds, some only a
millimeter in size “It was like finding little gems.” he says In the coral reef in French
Polynesia, he saw thousands of creatures in the cube and photographed 600 The team identified
as many as possible, but it was difficult Many of the animals they found were new species
Question 38 Another title of the passge could be _
A Dangers to Ground Creatures B The Importance of Tiny Organisms
C Saving Small Animals in Cubes D The Life of Nutrients

Question 42 Why was it difficult to identify the creatures at the coral reef?
A Many were new to science B.The water was cloudy
C They were too small D Many of them looked the same

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviours It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much
Trang 38Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human- service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviours Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters and consumers
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this
storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast,
psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, tough, or taste In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thumder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation-that is,
by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills
Question 43 According to the passage, which of the following is learning in broad view
comprised of?
A Acquisition of social and behavioural skills
B Knowledge acquisition and ability development
C Acquisition of academic knowledge
D Knowledge acquisition outside the classroom
Question 44 The word “retrieves” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
Question 45 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A Psychologists studying memory are concerned with how the stored knowledge is used
B Psychologists studying memory are concerned with the brain’s storage of knowledge
C Psychologists are all interested in memory as much as behaviours
D Psychologists studying are interested in human behaviours
Question 46 According to the passage, what are children NOT usually taught outside the
classroom?
A Literacy and calculation B Life skills
C Interpersonal communication D Right from wrong
Trang 396
Question 47 According to the passage, the study of learning is important in many fields due to
_
A.the great influence of the on-going learning process
B.the influence of various behaviours in the learning process
C the exploration of the best teaching methods
D the need for certain experiences in various areas
Question 48 It can be inferred from the passage that social workers, employers, and politicians
concern themselves with the study of learning because they need to
A.change the behaviours of the objects of their interest towards learning
B.make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning
C understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest
D thoroughly understand the behaviours of the objects of their interest
Question 49 Which of the following can be inferred about the learning process from the
passage?
A.It is more interesting and effective in school than that in life
B It becomes less challenging and complicated when people grow older
C It plays a crucial part in improving the learner’s motivation in school
D It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions
Question 50 The passage mainly discuss _
A.simple forms of learning
B practical examples of learning inside the classroom
C application of learning principles to formal education
D general principles of learning
