Nowadays, not everybody finds tattoos acceptable Some people thing that getting one is silly because tattoos are more or less permanent There is also some (37) about catching a blood disease from unsterilized needles Even for those who do want a tattoo, the process of getting one is not painless, but the final result, in their eyes, is worth the pain

Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun It is well placed for observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it Jupiter’s less than 10-hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system in so far as the principal planets are concerned There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over 3°-less than that for any other planet
The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red spot It has shown variations in both intensity
and color, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years At its greatest
extent it may be 40,000 kilometers long and 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200° The latitude is generally very close to -22° It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter’s outer gas However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have
Trang 5refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology Its
longevity may well due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size,
and it may not be permanent Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted

A Earth B Jupiter C Venus D Mars
Question 39 The word "it" in paragraph 2 refers to

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products, they give him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had
Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation
Trang 11Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for
it to persuade the villager to see this The villager wants wood to cook his food
with, and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees So unless the government has a good system
of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees The results are even more serious For
where there are trees their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the
soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well, when all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert
Question 38 In the writer's opinion, _, or the forests slowly disappear
A people shouldn't draw benefit from the tree
B measures must be taken
C government must realize the serious results
D unless trees never be cut down
Question 39 The word “bind ” in the passage probably means _
A to make wet B to wash away C to make stay together D to improve
Question 40 In the last two paragraphs the writer wanted to make it clear that
A where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor
B where there are no trees, the land might become desert slowly
C where there are many trees, there are fewer floods
D floods will make the land become desert
Question 41 It’s a great pity that in many places
A man is not eager to make profits from trees
B man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees
C man hasn’t realised the importance of trees to him
D man is only interested in building empire
Question 42 Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can
A keep him from the hot sunshine B make him draw quick profit from them
C enable him to build warships D protecthim from drought and floods

PERCEPTIONS OF ANIMALS ACROSS CULTURES
When living and working in another country, there are numerous things to consider apart from the more obvious ones of climate, language, religion, currency, etc Some important considerations are less obvious For example, do you have a pet or do you enjoy a hobby such
as horse riding? Your animal or hobby may be perceived in a completely different light in another
Trang 12culture so it’s important to consider the significance given to specific animals in different parts of the world and general perceptions towards them
One example which is often mentioned in popular press is the case of dogs In some cultures,
like the US or UK, dogs are loved and considered a great pet to have at home and with the family
In other cultures, such as those where Islam is the majority religion, dogs may be perceived as dirty or dangerous Muslims treatment of dogs is still a matter of debate amongst Islamic scholars, while these animals are widely considered by many Western cultures to be “mans best friend”,
the Koran describes them as “unhygienic” Muslims will therefore avoid touching a dog unless
he can wash his hands immediately afterwards, and they will almost never keep a dog in their home
In Iran, for instance, a cleric once denounced “the moral depravity” of dog owners and even demanded their arrest If you are an international assignee living and working in Saudi Arabia or
another Arabic country, you should remember this when inviting Arab counterparts to your house
in case you have a dog as a pet This is just one example of how Islam and other cultural beliefs can impact on aspects of everyday life that someone else may not even question A Middle Eastern man might be very surprised when going to Japan, for instance, and seeing dogs being
dressed and pampered like humans and carried around in baby prams!
Dogs are not the only animals which are perceived quite differently from one culture to another
In India, for example, cows are sacred and are treated with the utmost respect Conversely in Argentina, beef is a symbol of national pride because of its tradition and the high quality of its cuts An Indian working in Argentina who has not done his research or participated in a cross cultural training programme such as Doing Business in Argentina may be surprised at his first welcome dinner with his Argentinean counterparts where a main dish of beef would be served
It is therefore crucial to be aware of the specific values assigned to objects or animals in different cultures to avoid faux-pas or cultural misunderstandings, particularly when living and working in another culture Learning how people value animals and other symbols around the world is one
of the numerous cultural examples discussed in Communicaid’s intercultural training courses Understanding how your international colleagues may perceive certain animals can help you ensure you aren’t insensitive and it may even provide you with a good topic for conversation
(Source: https //www.communicaid.com)
Question 43 What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A Talking about different perceptions with others will help you overcome insensitivity
B To avoid cultural shocks, people should not live or work in another culture
C It’s important to value the objects or animals in different countries before going there
D Understanding different perceptions of animals will help you avoid faux-pas in another nation Question 44 According to paragraph 2, which sentence is INCORRECT?
A The dog is a typical example of different views in the world about animals
B Dogs are well-treated and loved in the US and UK
C Muslims are those considering dogs as their best pets at home
D People whose religion is Islam don’t like having dogs in their home
Question 45 The word “unhygienic” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to
A unhealthy B undependable C unreliable D unacceptable
Question 46 What does the word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
Trang 13A you are an international assignee
B you are having a dog as pet
C a cleric once denounced the moral depravity of dog owners and even demanded their arrest
D you are living and working in Saudi Arabia or another Arabic country
Question 47 The author mentioned cows in paragraph 4 as an example of
A the animals that are differently perceived in numerous cultures
B sacred animals in Argentina
C a symbol of a nation for its high quality of nutrients
D which may cause surprise for Argentinian people at dinner
Question 48 which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A Perceptions of animals across cultures
B What should be learnt before going to another country
C Dogs and different beliefs in the world
D Muslims and their opinions about animals
Question 49 The word “pampered” in the third paragraph could be best replaced by
A indulged B taken care of C made up D respected
Question 50 It can be inferred from the passage that
A people will change their perceptions of animals when living in another culture
B you should not be surprised if other counterparts consider your sacred animals as food
C there are many things to research before going to live and work in another country
D respecting other cultures is a good way to have a successful life abroad
