Question II: Read the text below and choose the best answer (A, B, C, or D) (1 pt)

The adage that “a woman’s place is in the home” no longer applies to the dauntless ladies in

space The first woman in space was a Soviet who orbited the earth with a male companion in

1963 and landed unscathed after a three-day sojourn aboard a spacecraft Seemingly, it was

inevitable that another Soviet woman would repeat her feat The second woman in space was

Svetlana Savitskaya, a parachutist and test pilot, who served as researcher aboard Soviet

Soyuz T-7, which had a rendezvous with Salyut 7, the space station in which the longest

manned orbital flight was completed

Ms Savitskaya’s aptitude for space travel was patent in her past experience in aviation Holder

of several women’s records in aviation, she had flown sundry types of aircraft and made over

500 parachute jumps Her father was a Soviet Air Force Marshal, and her husband a pilot

Without a qualm she boarded the spacecraft with her commander, Lieutenant Colonel Leonid

Popov, and another rookie astronaut who was the flight engineer

Soviet authorities announced that they were looking forward to gaining further information

about “weaker sex” , so-called in the Soviet newspaper Tass, under the stressful conditions of space travel Sex, however, is not considered n impediment but rather a benefit in space, for

the Soviet have lauded women for their precision and accuracy in carrying out experiments

Trang 12

As planned, the American put their first woman in space in mid-1983 Sally Ride was their

choice Ms Ride joined the NASA program with five other women and thirty men to train as

astronauts in the space shuttle program She faces an epoch when space travel will no longer

be a glamorous adventure but rather a commonplace day’s work

1 The word “rookie” is closest in meaning to

A well-known B novice C experienced D

practicing

2 You can infer that women have been included in the space program as a result of

A public outcry B their husbands

C their qualifications D their ability of working under stress

3 Soviet authorities apparently think that men and women are

A equal B different C weaker D inevitable

4 The Soviet Salyut 7 was

A joined by Solyut T-7 B manned by a woman

C an experiment D a training craft

5 Ms Savitskaya was chosen to travel into space because

A her father was in the Soviet Air Force and her husband was a pilot

B She was dauntless

C her ability to endure stress and her precision in doing experiments

D She was experienced in aviation

6 How did you know whether the statement “Ms Savitskaya showed no fear of space travel” is true or false?

A It was stated B It was implied

C No information was given D It was invented

7 From the use of the term “weaker sex”, you can infer that the Soviets

A think that Soviet women are not strong

B entertain a bias against women

C think that Soviet men are better than women

D question the women’s movement

8 The word “lauded” is closest in meaning to

A recruited B promoted C evaluated D praised

9 An American woman has traveled

A to the moon B to NASA C in the space shuttle D with the Soviets

10 Space travel will soon be

A glamorous B adventuresome

C an everyday experience D a lot of work

Question III Read the passage and choose the best answer from the four options marked

A, B, C or D in the following questions Identify your answer by writing the

corresponding letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet (1 pt)

Birds that feed in flocks commonly retire together into roosts The reasons for

roosting communally are not always obvious, but there are some likely benefits In winter

especially, it is important for birds to keep warm at night and conserve precious food

reserves One way to do this is to find a sheltered roost Solitary roosters shelter in dense

vegetation or enter a cavity – horned larks dig holes in the ground and ptarmigan burrow

into snow banks – but the effect of sheltering is magnified by several birds huddling

together in the roosts, as wrens, swifts, brown creepers, bluebirds, and anise do Body

contact reduces the surface area exposed to the cold air, so the birds keep each other

warm Two kinglets huddling together were found to reduce their heat losses by a quarter, and three together saved a third of their heat

The second possible benefit of communal roosts is that they act as "information

centers." During the day, parties of birds will have spread out to forage over a very large

area When they return in the evening some will have fed well, but others may have found

little to eat Some investigators have observed that when the birds set out again next

morning, those birds that did not feed well on the previous day appear to follow those that

did The behavior of common and lesser kestrels may illustrate different feeding behaviors

of similar birds with different roosting habits The common kestrel hunts vertebrate animals

in a small, familiar hunting ground, whereas the very similar lesser kestrel feeds on insects over a large area The common kestrel roosts and hunts alone, but the lesser kestrel roosts and hunts in flocks, possibly so one bird can learn from others where to find insect swarms Finally, there is safety in numbers at communal roosts since there will always be a

few birds awake at any given moment to give the alarm But this increased protection is

partially counteracted by the fact that mass roosts attract predators and are especially

vulnerable if they are on the ground Even those in trees can be attacked by birds of prey

The birds on the edge are at greatest risk since predators find it easier to catch small birds perching at the margins of the roost

1 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A How birds find and store food B How birds maintain body heat in the winter

C Why birds need to establish territory D Why some species of birds nest together

2 The word "conserve" in line 3 is closest in meaning to

A retain B watch C locate D share

3 Ptarmigan keep warm in the winter by

A huddling together on the ground with other birds B building nests in trees

C burrowing into dense patches of vegetation D digging tunnels into the snow

4 The word "magnified" in line 6 is closest in meaning to _

A caused B modified C intensified D combined

5 The author mentions kinglets in line 9 as an example of birds that

A protect themselves by nesting in holes B nest with other species of birds

C nest together for warmth D usually feed and nest in pairs

6 The word "forage" in line 12 is closest in meaning to _

A fly B assemble C feed D rest

Trang 14

7 Which of the following statements about lesser and common kestrels is true?

A The lesser kestrel and the common kestrel have similar diets

B The lesser kestrel feeds sociably but the common kestrel does not

C The common kestrel nests in larger flocks than does the lesser kestrel

D The common kestrel nests in trees; the lesser kestrel nests on the ground

8 The word "counteracted" in line 23 is closest in meaning to _

A suggested B negated C measured D shielded

9 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as an advantage derived by birds

that huddle together while sleeping?

A Some members of the flock warn others of impending dangers

B Staying together provides a greater amount of heat for the whole flock

C Some birds in the flock function as information centers for others who are looking for food

D Several members of the flock care for the young

10 Which of the following is a disadvantage of communal roosts that is mentioned in the

passage?

A Diseases easily spread among the birds

B Groups are more attractive to predators than individual birds are

C Food supplies are quickly depleted

D Some birds in the group will attack the others
