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 31 to 35.
The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions, and
telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure,
people grope about in flickering candlelight. Cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to
guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators.
Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature
has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering more and more
that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.
All living cells sent out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of recorded
electricity; they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is
working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an
electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small-of-ten so
small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells have
become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large
numbers of these cells are linked together, the effects can be astonishing.
The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of
electricity through the water in which it lives. An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As
many as four fifths of all the cells in the electric eel’s body are specialized for generating electricity, and the
strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body.
(Adapted from A collection of TOEFL Reading comprehension 4)
Question 31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Electric eels are potentially dangerous
(Lươn điện có thể rất nguy hiểm)
B. Biology and electricity appear to be closely related

 (Con người sẽ chẳng làm được gì khi không có điện)
D. Scientists still have much to discover about electricity
(Các nhà khoa học vãn còn nhiều điều để khám phá về điện)
Question 32. It can be inferred from the passage that the longer an eel is the________.
(Có thể suy ra từ đoạn văn rằng con lươn càng dài thì...)
A. more beneficial it will be to science (càng có ích cho khoa học)
B. more powerful will be its electrical charge (có nguồn điện càng lớn)
C. easier it will be to find (càng dễ bị tìm thấy)
D. tougher it will be to eat (càng khó nhai)

Throughout history, various people have demonstrated a high degree of confidence in the ability of certain
animals to predict the weather. It may seem surprising today in view of the complex equipment now involved
in weather forecasting to understand that in certain cases, the behavior of animals does indeed provide an
indication of inclement weather. Sensitivity of certain animals to falling air pressure or to low-frequency
sound waves that humans cannot hear, which are indicators of approaching storms, causes behaviors in
animals that certain societies have come to recognize as predictors of storms.
A number of animals are remarkably sensitive to variations in air pressure, and some of these animals
show consistent, noticeable, and predictable behaviors as air pressure drops before a storm hits. Where the air
pressure drops before a storm, some animals move closer to the ground to equalize the pressure in their ears:
some birds such as swallows tend to stay on the ground or roost in trees instead of soaring in the skies when a
storm is imminent because of the decreasing air pressure. Other animals make more noise than usual as air
pressure drops: an unusual amount of quacking by ducks and a high volume of croaking by frogs are both
indicators that are believed to occur because of the high degree of sensitivity of ducks and frogs to the change
in pressure. Finally, still other animals become more active before storms as a reaction to the falling air
pressure: dolphins and porpoises seem to be taking part in a frenzied sort of play, and bees and ants become
more active prior to storms, most likely because of their sensitivity to lower pressure.
There is good reason to believe that the fact that these animal behaviors seem to occur regularly prior to
storms may have a scientific basis and that the animals demonstrating these behaviors may actually be good
short-range weather forecasters. However, their ability to predict long-range weather patterns is rather
suspect. Certain proverbs, for example, are based on what is most likely the idea that squirrels are good
indicators of long-range weather patterns. One proverb indicates that, if a squirrel seems busier than usual in
gathering nuts, then a long and cold winter is on its way; however, this behavior in squirrels is more likely
due to a large supply of nuts available for gathering, which occurs because of earlier good weather, and is not
an indicator of cold weather to come. Another proverb about squirrels indicates that if a squirrel grows a long
and bushy tail in the fall, then a particularly harsh winter is on its way; in this case too, the squirrel develops a
long and bushy tail because of earlier good weather and not as a warning of bad weather to come.
