IV Read the following passages and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from (46) to (65)
Galaxies are not evenly distributed throughout the universe A few are found alone, but almost all are grouped in
formations termed galactic clusters These formations should not be confused with stellar clusters, globular clusters of
stars that exist within a galaxy The size of galactic clusters varies enormously, with some clusters containing only a dozen or so members and others containing as many as 10,000 Moreover, galactic clusters themselves are part of larger
clusters of clusters, termed superclusters It is surmised that even clusters of superclusters are possible.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a galactic cluster called the Local Group, which has twenty members and is typical in terms of the types of galaxies it contains There are three largespiral galaxies: Andromeda, the largest galaxy
in the group; the Milky Way, the second-largest galaxy;and the Trianglum Spiral, the third largest There are also four medium-sized spiral galaxies, including the Large Cloud of Magellan and the Small Cloud of Magellan There are four regular elliptical galaxies; the remainder are dwarf ellipticals Other than our own galaxy, only Andromeda and the Clouds of Magellan can be seen with the naked eye, and the Clouds are visible only from the Southern Hemisphere
In the vicinity of the Local Group are several clusters, each containing around twelve members The nearest cluster rich in members is the Virgo Cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies of all types Like most large clusters,
it emits X rays The Local Group, the small neighboring clusters, and the Virgo Cluster form part of a much larger cluster of clusters – the Local Supercluster The existence of galactic clusters presented a riddle to scientists for many years – the “missingmass” problem Clusters are presumably held together by the gravity generated by their members
However, measurements showed that the galaxies did not have enough mass to explain their apparent stability Why didn’t these clusters disintegrate? It is now thought that galaxies contain great amounts of “dark matter”, which cannot
be directly observed but which generates gravitational pull
This matter includes gas, dust, burnt-out stars, and even black holes

Questions 58 to 65
For a long time, amphibians were confused with reptiles Like reptiles, they have three-chambered
hearts and are cold-blooded Some amphibians, such as salamanders, are even shaped like lizards
However, unlike reptiles, amphibians never have claws on their toes or scales on their bodies
Furthermore, the eggs of amphibians lack shells, so they must be laid in water or in moist places
Amphibians were the first creatures to spend sizable amounts of their lives on land The larvae
of most amphibians, such as frog tadpoles, are born with gills and live in water However, their gills
disappear as they develop lungs Most retain the ability to breathe through the moist surface of their
skin This comes in handy when they hibernate in the bottom mud of lakes and ponds during the
coldest months They take in the small amount of oxygen they need through their skin Some
amphibians undergo what is known as a “double metamorphosis”, changing not only from gill
Trang 5breathers to lung breathers but also from vegetarians to insectivores.
Although the amphibian class is rather small in number of species, it shows great diversity
There are three major types The caecilians of the tropics are long, legless, burrowing creatures
Caudate amphibians, such as newts and salamanders, mostly have long tails and stubby legs
Salientians, which include both frogs and toads, are tailless as adults and have powerful hind legs
Toads differ from frogs primarily in that they have dry, warty skin
58 The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to
(A) define and describe amphibians (B) contrast different types of amphibians
(C) trace the development of amphibians from larvae to adults (D) explain how amphibians differ from other creatures 59 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a characteristic of amphibians?
A They have three-chambered hearts B They lay eggs without shells
C.They have claws on their toes D They are cold-blooded
60 As used in line3, the term scales is closest to which of the following in meaning?
A Devices used to measure weight B.Plates covering the bodies of certain
C Sounds make by various animals D Proportions between different sets of dimensions
61 According to the passage, the term double Metamorphosis (line 10) refers to the fact that amphibians
(A) first breathe through their gills, then through their lungs, then through their skin (B) change both the shape of their bodies and the way in which they lay eggs (C) first live in the water, then on land, then in mud in the bottom of ponds and lakes (D) change both their methods of breathing and their feeding habits 62 It can be inferred from the passage that amphibians’ ability to breathe through their skin is especially useful during the
(A) summer (B) fall (C) winter (C) winter
63 All of the following are identified in the passage as amphibians EXCEPT
(A) newts (B) salamanders (C) caecilians (D) lizards
