in ancient times People did not go to the theatre simply to see an interesting (21) for the plays formed part of religious festivals .(22) early Greek theatres consisted of no more than a flat space with an altar at the foot of a hillside .(23) that time, there were no (24) as there are in modern theatres, so the (25) stood or sat on the slopes of the hillside Gradually, special theatres were made by building large stone or wooden steps one (26) another up the hillside In later times, a hut was built at the far side of the acting area where it formed a background for the actors (27) the parts of the different characters Eventually, a (28) platform was built so that the actors could be seen more clearly This was the first appearance of anything .
(29) our modern stage As well as these permanent theatres, there were simple wooden
stages (30) around by actors wandering from one place to another There was also a hut with curtains that served both as background scenery and as a dressing room.
IV READING COMPREHENSION
All mammals feed their young Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their calves for
some twenty months, until they are about to give birth again and their young are able to
Trang 3find their own food The behavior of feeding of the young is built into the reproductive
system It is a nonelective part of parental care and the defining feature of a mammal, the
(5) most important thing that mammals whether marsupials, platypuses, spiny anteaters, or
placental mammals have in common.
But not all animal parents, even those that tend their offspring to the point of hatching or birth, feed their young Most egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple reason that their
young are so much smaller than the parents and eat food that is also much smaller than
(10) the food eaten by adults In reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her young after they
have hatched and takes them down to the water, where they will find food, but she does not actually feed them Few insects feed their young after hatching, but some make other arrangement, provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars and spiders that they have paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation so that their
(15) larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch.
For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care Animals
add it to their reproductive strategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest for
descendants The most vulnerable moment in any animal's life is when it first finds itself
completely on its own, when it must forage and fend for itself Feeding postpones that
(20) moment until a young animal has grown to such a size that it is better able to cope Young
that are fed by their parents become nutritionally independent at a much greater fraction
of their full adult size And in the meantime those young are shielded against the vagaries
of fluctuating of difficult-to-find supplies Once a species does take the step of feeding its young, the young become totally dependent on the extra effort If both parents are
(25) removed, the young generally do no survive.
31 What does the passage mainly discuss?
(A) The care that various animals give to their offspring.
(B) The difficulties young animals face in obtaining food.
(C) The methods that mammals use to nurse their young.
(D) The importance among young mammals of becoming independent.
32 The author lists various animals in line 5 to
(A) contrast the feeding habits of different types of mammals
(B) describe the process by which mammals came to be defined
(C) emphasize the point that every type of mammal feeds its own young
(D) explain why a particular feature of mammals is nonelective
33 The word "tend" in line 7 is closest in meaning to
34 What can be inferred from the passage about the practice of animal parents feeding their young?
(A) It is unknown among fish (B) It is unrelated to the size of the young (C) It is dangerous for the parents (D) It is most common among mammals.
35 The word "provisioning" in line 13 is closest in meaning to
(A) supplying (B) preparing (C) building (D) expanding
36 According to the passage, how do some insects make sure their young have food?
(A) By storing food near their young.
(B) By locating their nests or cells near spiders and caterpillars.
(C) By searching for food some distance from their nest.
(D) By gathering food from a nearby water source.
37 The word "edge" in line 17 is closest in meaning to
(A) opportunity (B) advantage (C) purpose (D) rest
38 The word "it" in line 20 refers to
Trang 4(A) feeding (B) moment (C) young animal (D) size
39 According to the passage, animal young are most defenseless when
(A) their parents are away searching for food
(B) their parents have many young to feed
(C) they are only a few days old
(D) they first become independent
40 The word "shielded" in line 22 is closest in meaning to

On turning sixteen I applied to be, and eventually began working as, a trainee heating engineer with a medium-sized company in East Belfast The first months were boring The work was not demanding but I found the environment of the factory annoying I remember my first week I left the factory to meet up with a friend and I realized that I had forgotten to collect my wages My friend thought I was an idiot After many months working in the factory, I was sent off to college to study for

knew at school was absent I put up with it for a short period It was too long a walk on cold winter’s
nights and it was hard to concentrate on Shakespeare with wet shoes and soaking trousers So I carried
on reading books and started writing poetry at home
By chance, I won some prizes and literary awards in national competitions A young woman from
a TV company came to the college one day She told me in the quiet of the corridor that I had won a national poetry award I stared at her in astonishment and disbelief She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said: ‘ No, I couldn’t do that.’ Not that I had any real excuse I was just frightened She eventually persuaded me that I should do it the following day
