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.

You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions.This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them

Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others But

does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does inMadagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions

According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially thesame "facial language" Studies by Ekman's group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universalemotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species Smiles, forexample, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places asArgentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra, the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea,and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere canrecognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise.There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays -the so-called display rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotionalresponses - especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelingsmore openly Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people'sbehavior From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention to facialexpressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people's faces.This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of

human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressionsseem to appear across species boundaries Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotionalresponses carry different meanings in different cultures For example, what emotion do you suppose might

be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it cansignify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just

as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions

Question 11: The word " evolved" is closest in meaning to _.

Question 12: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether _.

A raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth

B different cultures have similar emotional expressions

C rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar

D eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar.

A change their behaviour B conceal their positive emotions

C display their emotions openly D control their emotions

Question 14: The biggest difference lies in .

A how intensive emotions are expressed B how often positive emotions are shown

C how emotional responses are controlled D how long negative emotions are displayed

A looking at their faces B observing their looks

C watching their actions D observing their emotional expressions

Question 16: Young children .

A spend a long time learning to read others' emotions

B are sensitive towards others' emotions

C make amazing progress in controlling their emotions

D take time to control their facial expressions

Successful students often do the followings while studying First, they have an overview beforereading Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumpingforward or backward to process information) They also relate important points to one another Also, they

activate and use their prior knowledge When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not

wait to change strategies Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up”mistakes in comprehension

Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills.They tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor theirstudying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they maynot be aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix understanding problems Students who struggle with learning new information seem to

be unaware that they must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it.Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying Their studying may bedisorganized Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well Theyoften have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work

on time Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner,

low-achieving students use a restricted range of study skills They cannot explain why good study strategies are

important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks,ignoring task content, structure or difficulty

Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding naturalresources We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of environmentaldamage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production practices We may thinkthat 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 anecosystem 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 healthyecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff The health of animals andhumans 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 orhumans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they would have if theyhad been directly exposed to the original contamination

Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from theground 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 soilcontaminants 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 byexposure to contaminants moved in the air

There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe Two that are frequently linked to oneanother are earthquakes and tsunamis Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they hit.However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them

The Earth has three main parts They are the crust, the mantle, and the core The crust is the outer layer of

the Earth It is not a single piece of land Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates There are a few

enormous plates and many smaller ones These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid As aresult, the plates are in constant

– yet slow – motion The plates may move away from or toward other plates In some cases, they collide

violently with the plates adjoining them The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock Over a long

time, this tension may build up When it is released, an earthquake happens.Tens of thousands of

earthquakes happen every year The vast majority are so small that only scientific instruments can perceive

them Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little harm or damage Morepowerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse They mayadditionally injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change it appearance.Since most of the Earth’s surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet’s oceans.Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move This results in the displacement of water in the ocean.When this occurs, a tsunami may form This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directionsfrom the place where the earthquake happened A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travelthousnads of kilometres As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea This causesthe tsunamis to increase in height Minutes later, the tsunami arrives A large tsunami – one more than tenmeters in height – can travel far inland As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements, andkill large numbers of people

Question 43: Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?

A A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake

B The most severe type of natural disaster is an earthquake

C Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis

D Earthquakes frequently take place after tsunamis do.

Question 44: The word “it” in the first paragraph refers to _

A The core B The crust C The Earth D The mantle Question 45: What is the passage mainly about?

A When earthquakes are the most likely to happen

B What kind of damage natural disasters can cause

C How earthquakes and tsunamis occur

D Why tsunamis are deadlier than earthquakes.

Question 46: The word “adjoining” in bold in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .

A residing B approaching C bordering D appearing

Question 47: The word “perceive” in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .

A detect B prevent C comprehend D locate

Question 48: Which of the following is true regarding the crust?

A It is the smallest of the Earth’s three layers

B It is thicker on land than it is under the water

C There many separate pieces that make it up

D The mantle beneath it keeps it from moving too

Question 49: Based on the passage, what is probably true about tsunamis?

A They kill more people each year than earthquakes

B They are able to move as fast as the speed of sound

C They cannot damage ships sailing on the ocean

D They can be deadly to people standing near shore.

actually much higher than just the increase in population would imply For example, it took the world 125years to use the first one trillion barrels of oil The next trillion barrels will be used in less than 30 years,which is almost 5 times as fast, not three

All of these activities: food production, energy usage, and the use of natural resources, contribute to climatechange in some way The greater amounts of oil and other fuels burned to create energy release chemicalswhich add to global warming In order to produce more food, farmers cut down trees to gain more land fortheir fields In addition, we cut down trees to build the houses needed for a larger population Those trees are

an essential part of controlling global warming; others are too numerous to mention

In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a higher standard of livingthan in the past, and a higher standard of living requires the use of even more natural resources A look atone country will provide a clear example of this fact China is the world’s most populous nation, with 1.3billion people Currently, the standard of living for most of those people is far below that of people in firstworld nations Therefore, the average Chinese citizen uses far fewer natural resources and less energy thanthe average citizen of the US or Japan But China is growing in power, and more of its citizens are beginning

to expect a first world lifestyle If every Chinese person attains a first world lifestyle, the amount of energyand natural resources needed in the world will double, even if the standard of living in every other nation onEarth remains the same as it is today

Bạn có thể thường xuyên biết khi nào bạn mình vui hay tức giận bằng cách nhìn vào khuôn mặt họ hay quahành động của họ Việc này rất hữu ích bởi vì việc đọc cảm xúc của người khác giúp bạn biết cách để đáp trảlại chúng Cảm xúc phát triển giúp chúng ta đáp trả lại những tình huống quan trọng và để truyền đạt mongmuốn đến người khác Nhưng liệu việc cau mày và há hốc miệng có ý nghĩa giống nhau ở Minneaplis nhưkhi ở Madagascar? Nhiều nghiên cứu về các cách thể hiện cảm xúc đã tập trung vào những câu hỏi như thếnày

Theo Paul Akman, nhà nghiên cứu hàng đầu trong lĩnh vực này, con người nói và hiểu đáng kể như “ ngônngữ khuôn mặt” Những nghiên cứu được thực hiện bởi nhóm của Ekman đã cho thấy rằng nhân loại cóchung một hệ thống những cách thể hiện cảm xúc chung cái mà kiểm chứng với di sản sinh học chung củanhân loại Chằng hạn như, nụ cười dấu hiệu của niềm vui và nhăn mặt thể hiện nỗi buồn trên khuôn mặt củacon người ở những nơi xa xôi như Ac-hen-ti-na, Nhật Bản, Tây Ban Nha, Hung – ga – ry, Ba Lan, Sumatra,

Mỹ, Việt Nam và rừng nhiệt đới New Guinea, và những là Eskimo phía bắc của vòng Bắc cực Ekman vànhững đồng nghiệp của ông đã tuyên bố rằng con người ở khắp mọi nơi có thể nhận ra ít nhất 7 cảm xúc cơbản: buồn, sợ hãi, tức giận, ghê tởm, khinh thường, hạnh phúc và ngạc nhiên Tuy nhiên, có sự khác nhaulớn giữa các nền văn hóa về cả nội dung và cường độ của cách thể hiện cảm xúc – được gọi là quy luật thểhiện Ví dụ, theo văn hóa những nước châu Á, trẻ con được dạy kiểm soát cách đáp trả lại cảm xúc – đặc biệt

là đáp trả tiêu cực – trong khi nhiều trẻ em Mỹ được khuyến khích thể hiện cảm xúc một cách cởi mở Tuynhiên, bất kể nền văn hóa nào thì cảm xúc thường tự nó bộc lộ ra, ở một mức độ nào đó, trong cách hành xửcủa con người Từ những ngày đầu của cuộc đời, trẻ con đã có biểu hiện cảm xúc trên khuôn mặt để truyềnđạt cảm xúc

Khả năng đọc thể hiện của khuôn mặt cũng sớm phát triển Những đứa bé rất nhỏ chú ý kỹ đến biểu cảm củakhuôn mặt, và khi lên 5 tuổi, chúng gần như ngang bằng với người lớn trong việc đọc biểu cảm trên khuônmặt của người khác Đây là bằng chứng cho thấy cơ sở sinh học về khả năng của chúng ta khi thể hiện vàhiểu những cảm xúc cơ bản của con người Hơn thế nữa, khi Charles Darwin chỉ ra rằng cách đây hơn 100năm, một số thể hiện cảm xúc có vẻ nhất đã xuất hiện ở khắp các vùng Các nhà tâm lý học về giao thoa vănhóa cho chúng ta biết rằng những đáp trả cảm xúc nhất định mang ý nghĩa khác nhau ở những nền văn hóakhác nhau Ví dụ, cảm xúc gì bạn nghĩ có thể bằng việc thè lưỡi? Đối với người Mỹ , nó có thể cho thấy sựghê tởm trong khi người Trung Quốc cho rằng đó là dấu hiện ngạc nhiên Tương tự, cười nhe răng trên khuônmặt người Mỹ có thể cho biết họ vui, trong khi trên khuôn mặt người Nhật đơn giảng có nghĩa là bối rối Rõràng, văn hóa ảnh
