READING (20 points) Part 4: Read the following passage and choose the best answer among A, B, C or D to each question. Circle your choice. (4 points) THE TERROR OF THE SEA Some 16,000 icebergs are born in the Arctic Ocean each year. Most of them are galved by the age-old glaciers that cover the coast of Greenland Fortunately, in an average year only about 400 of them make it past the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Once past that point, they are in some of the world's busiest shipping lanes. There, they are as dangerous as torpedoes. In the year 1912, when the Titanic went down with 1,503 lives, about 1,000 icebergs made it past the Grand Banks. A newborn iceberg, unlike most newborn things, is bigger to begin with and slowly grows smaller. When it first breaks free from the mother glacier an Arctic baby may weigh Up to 3 million tons and as big as a block in New York City. But it takes two or three years of travel before it reaches the Banks. By that time most icebergs are less than 100 feet in height. Sometimes, however, a grant one, towering 400 feet above the sea is spotted. The sight of these "blocks" is frightening enough, but the real danger lies in the fact that 85 percent of the bulk lies hidden under the water, ready to cut the hull of any ship that comes too close. Icebergs usually die after they pass the Grand Banks and meet the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. Yet, a melted-down iceberg was seen about 200 miles south of BermudaIt was only 15 by 30 feet in size. But remember almost nine times that size was hiding under the water. It was still big enough to sink a ship. Time, sun and the Gulf Stream slowly change the icebergs to water; but, while they live, they are a hazard to the strongést ship and a terror to the bravest captain. 1. This article tells mostly about A. ships sunk by icebergs —_B. how icebergs are spotted C. dangerous icebergs D. ships built for destroying icebergs, 2. The third paragraph suggests that icebergs A. grow bigger with age B. travel very slowly C. move quite rapidly D. are not too dangerous 3. The writer of this passage feels icebergs are as dangerous as A. explosives B. hidden submarines C.a bomb D. a submarine weapon 4. As used in this passage, icebergs are caved by the age-old glaciers means A. they break away from the age-old glaciers B. they are attracted to the age-old glaciers C. they push off the age-old glaciers D. they are a part of the age-old glaciers Part 2: Read the following passage, choose and circle the best answer ( A, B, C or D) to fill each of the blanks.

Having mastered these skills, they could begin to practise agriculture. Before the development of agriculture, people got all their food by gathering wild plants, hunting, and fishing. They had to search for food continually, (7) left them little time for other activities. But as agriculture developed farm output increased, fewer people were (8) to produce food. The non-farmers could then develop the arts, crafts, trades, and other activities of civilized life. Agriculture, therefore, not only greatly affected food supply but also made civilization possible.

There may be numerous special sections at the back with (3) about famous people and places, lists of dates and scientific names, etc. There is usually a section at the front (4) how to use the dictionary, which includes the special abbreviations or signs.An encyclopedia comes as either a set of books or a single large (5) and is nearly always arranged alphabetically.

LUYEN THI ONLINE (zoc OTTO CHANNE Chuyén Anh & HSG cée ¢ The first-time | saw Wiwin, she looked like a wizened old woman with wrinkly skin, but she was in fact a baby elephant. She had been left behind when her family group was chased back into the forest after being caught raiding a rice field in Southern Sumatra, Indonesia, She had been rescued by the local people, who quickly realized that they lacked the means to care for her. So she was brought to the local office of the Wildlife Conservation Society. Wiwin was desperate for affection. (1) ___D. Because her growing teeth were sore, she had also taken to chewing on anything and everything Everyone at the Conservation office was impressed by her spirit; she was clearly a survivor, but having her there presented a number of problems, (2) So the staff desperately contacted anyone who could give advice and began constructing feeding equipment from a length of tubing attached to a plastic bottle. Once they discovered the formula of a blend of cows milk, coconut water and milk powder, Wiwin started to take in liquids. There could be no question of releasing her back into the wild. The only option was for her to go to an elephant training center (ETC), which cared for orphaned elephants. The nearest ETC was 1,500 km away, but transporting Wiwin over that distance would be extremely difficult, especially as she was so weak. (3) We set off in convoy. Wiwin was in a jeep on a cushion of coconut paims, with the wildlife center staff, followed with a photographer. The first twenty-four hours went well. Wiwin determined our schedule: if she was tired, we stopped, and if she was hungry, we opened a coconut and fed her. Mostly, we travelled in the cool of the night, driving through sleeping villages and setting up camp at daybreak, Putting up a tent to give Wiwin shade. We continued on our way in the late afternoon and drove straight into a torrential rainstorm. Trees were blown down, even blocking the road in places. (4) We stopped for breakfast at a roadside cafe, where one local peered in and touched her nervously as if expecting an electric shock. After three days we arrived at the Sebanga ETC, to be met by the resident vet, Joanne Hammett. She agreed that we should try to see if the elephant with the newborn calf might let Wiwin into their group to feed. (5) However, she did soon settle into life at Sebanga, interacting well with the other elephants. So, after a week we left Wiwin at the center. Regular updates from Joanne kept us informed of Wiwin's improving condition. It could be questioned whether we were justified in Putting all this effort into keeping just one animal alive - in order for it to live a limited life in captivity. (6) She was a symbol of hope for a group of weary conservationists who are very aware that it takes an enormous amount of time and stamina to make a difference. A_ Despite all this, Wiwin managed to sleep contentedly. B However, as we were told they had an elephant with a newborn calf, which might provide a suitable foster mother for Wiwin, it seemed too good an opportunity to miss. C But Wiwin was more than just an orphan elephant. D Even when she was sleepy, she would wrap her trunk around the’ nearest person, pleading’for company. After weighing her, our fears were confirmed. Introductions were made the next day, but Wiwin could not be separated from her bottle, so unfortunately we had to give up the fostering idea G The most immediate of these was her unwillingness to drink anything in the sweltering heat. am 6IV.

(5 points) RUINING THE RUINS Acid rain is now a familiar problem in the industrialized countries in Europe. Gases like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are produced by power stations and cars. (0)__ Acid rain is also capable of dissolving some rocks, and buildings made of soft rock, such as limestone, are particularly badly affected. The acid rain attacks the rocks, and so carvings and statues are eroded more quickly. (1) According to a report in the New Scientist, acid rain is being blamed for the rapid decay of ancient ruins in Mexico. The old limestone buildings in places like Chichen Itza and Palenque are wearing away very quickly indeed. These sites are the remains of the buildings built by the Mayas between 250 BC and AD 900, and the spectacular ruins of Mayan civilization are visited by thousands of tourists every year. But those ruins are in danger of being seriously damaged by pollution. At many sites the stone has been covered with a layer of black substance like tar. (2) Scientists estimate that about one millimeter of stone is worn away every twelve years. (3) The acid rain is said to be caused by pollution from oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Car exhaust gases are also a problem. Local volcanic eruptions make the problem even worse. Nevertheless, with enough money and effort, researchers say that many of the problems could be solved and the rate of erosion reduced. (4) Mexico's current lack of funds is also partly due to oil. The country has rich oil fields and a few years ago, when oil was expensive, Mexico was selling large quantities of oil to the USA and earning a lot of money. (5) However, the price of oil then dropped, and Mexico has been left owing enormous sums of money and with not enough income from oil sales to pay back the loans. So unless the price of oil rises, it is unlikely that Mexico will be able to afford to clean up the pollution and save its Mayan ruins from destruction A. Atothers the painted surfaces inside temples are lifting and flaking off and the stone is being eaten away. B. That is enough to have caused some of the ancient carvings to become seriously damaged already C. These measures would reduce the pollution, but would not stop it completely. D. The government was therefore able to borrow huge sums of money from banks around the world, thinking they would have no problem repaying their debts. E. They dissolve in rainwater and this makes acid rain, which damages trees, river and streams. F. The problem, however, is not just a European one. G. However, the Mexican government does not have enough money to do:the work, and needs to spend what money it has on the Mexican people. Trang 5/7LUYEN THI ONLINE (zoom) OTTO CHANNEL IV.

(5 points) Because the low latitudes of the Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than the latitudes near the poles, and because the nature of heat is to expand and move, heat is transported from the tropics to the middle and high latitudes. Some of this heat is moved by winds and some by ocean currents, and some gets stored in the atmosphere in the form of latent heat. The term “latent heat” refers to the energy that has to be used to convert liquid water to water vapor. We know that if we warm a pan of water on a stove, it will evaporate, or turn into vapor, faster than if it is allowed to sit at room temperature. We also know that if we hang wet clothes outside in the summertime they will dry faster than in winter, when temperatures are colder. The energy used in both cases to change liquid. water to water vapor is supplied by heat ~ supplied by the stove in the first case and by the Sun in the latter case. This energy is not lost. It is stored in water vapor in the atmosphere as latent heat. Eventually, the water stored as vapor in the atmosphere will condense to liquid again, and the energy will be released to the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, a large portion of the Sun’s incoming energy is used to evaporate water, primarily in the tropical oceans. Scientists have tried to quantify this proportion of the Sun’s energy. By analyzing temperature, water vapor, and wind data around the globe, they have estimated the quantity to be about 90 watts per square meter, or nearly 30 percent Page 4of the Sun’s energy. Once this latent heat is stored within the atmosphere, it can be transported, primarily to higher latitudes, by prevailing, large-scale winds. Or it can be transported vertically to higher levels in the atmosphere, where it forms clouds and subsequent storms, which then release the energy back to the atmosphere. 1. The passage mainly discusses how heat A. is transformed and transported in the Earth's atmosphere. B. is transported by ocean currents. C. can be measured and analyzed by scientists. D, moves about the Earth’s equator. 2. According to the passage, in which of the following ways do the tropics differ from the Earth's polar regions? A. The height of cloud formation in the atmosphere B. The amount of heat they receive from the Sun C. The strength of their large-scale winds D. The strength of their oceanic currents LUYEN THI ONLINE (Zoom)| OTTO CHANNEL Chuyén Anh & HSG cée cap 3. Why does the author mention “the stove” in paragraph 1? A. To describe the heat of the Sun B.

A. Simon When I was at school ~ more years ago than I care to remember — far too much emphasis was placed on what we could and couldn't do, and sometimes this got in the way of leaming. We had to ‘wear our jacket and tie at all times, no matter what the temperature, and I remember sitting there in the height of summer, sweating profusely as I battled with algebra or struggled with French verb forms, They didn’t let us drink water in the classroom either. That would cause an outrage now. My daughter goes to the same school as I did, and we're asked to provide her with a refillable bottle, which she can take into class with her. They've realized that water improves concentration, so pupils almost have to drink it now. B, Jenny At my son David's school, rule number one of their two-page Mobile Phone Policy states that “pupils are strongly advised not to bring mobile phones to school’; then there are sixteen more rules describing situations in which they can and cannot be used. It’s very confusing — it would be much simpler just to ban them altogether. That’s what my old school would have done if mobile phones had been around then. Everything was black and white in those days, just like our school tie. And that’s another thing ~ David doesn’t have to wear a tie if he doesn’t want to, even though part of the uniform. That's just silly. I almost wrote to the school about it, but my son advised me against it. It seems that school rules are decided on jointly by students and teachers, and as a parent, I don’t have any say in the matter. C. Lucy My sixteen-year-old daughter isn’t allowed to wear a nose stud to school on health and safety grounds. Can you believe it? According to the head teacher, in a busy school piercings present ‘a very real risk of accidents’. I can’t see why ~ they're no more dangerous than carrying a sharpened pencil in your pocket, and there’s no rule against that, as far as I know. | used to wear earrings to school and never had any problems. It seems I agreed to all this when I signed the school rules document at the beginning of last term, but I honestly wasn’t aware of any ban on tiny metal objects in the nose. We were given a couple of ‘warnings, but I was still furious when they made her take it out and sent her home for the day: they humiliated her in front of her classmates and there’s no excuse for that, s Section 2 (10 points) Read the following passage, and choose the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the word that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
