higher up are the harder stems Page of 13 ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC VÀ ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI HỌC SINH GIỎI CÁC TRƯỜNG THPT CHUYÊN KHU VỰC DUYÊN HẢI VÀ ĐỒNG BẰNG BẮC BỘ MÔN TIẾNG ANH KHỐI 10 ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC VÀ ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI HỌC SINH GIỎI CÁC TRƯỜNG THPT CHUYÊN KHU VỰC DUYÊN HẢI VÀ ĐỒNG BẰNG BẮC BỘ MÔN TIẾNG ANH KHỐI 10 There are also sparsely distributed, highly nutritious fruits, and Bell found that only the Thomson's gazelles eat much of these The other three species differ in the proportion of lower leaves and higher stems that they eat: zebras eat the most stem matter, wildebeests eat the most leaves, and topi are intermediate How are we to understand their different feeding preferences? The answer lies in two associated differences among the species, in their digestive systems and body sizes According to their digestive systems, these herbivores can be divided into two categories: the nonruminants (such as the zebra, which has a digestive system like a horse) and the ruminants (such as the wildebeest, topi, and gazelle, which are like the cow) Nonruminants cannot extract much energy from the hard parts of a plant; however, this is more than made up for by the fast speed at which food passes through their guts Thus, when there is only a short supply of poor-quality food, the wildebeest, topi, and gazelle enjoy an advantage They are ruminant and have a special structure (the rumen) in their stomachs, which contains microorganisms that can break down the hard parts of plants Food passes only slowly through the ruminant's gut because ruminating-digesting the hard parts-takes time The ruminant continually regurgitates food from its stomach back to its mouth to chew it up further (that is what a cow is doing when "chewing cud") Only when it had been chewed up and digested almost to a liquid can the food pass through the rumen and on through the gut Larger particles cannot pass through until they have been chewed down to size Therefore, when food is in short supply, a ruminant can last longer than a non-ruminant because it can derive more energy out of the same food The difference can partially explain the eating habits of the Serengeti herbivores The zebra chooses areas where there is more low-quality food It migrates first to unexploited areas and chomps the abundant low-quality stems before moving on It is a fast-in/fast-out feeder, relying on a high output of incompletely digested food By the time the wildebeests (and other ruminants) arrive, the grazing and trampling of the zebras will have worn the vegetation down As the ruminants then set to work, they eat down to the lower, leafier parts of the vegetation All of this fits in with the differences in stomach contents with which we began The other part of the explanation is body size Larger animals require more food than smaller animals, but smaller animals have a higher metabolic rate Smaller animals can therefore live where there is less food, provided that such food is of high energy content That is why the smallest of the herbivores, Thomson's gazelle, lives on fruit that is very nutritious but too thin on the ground to support a larger animal By contrast, the large zebra lives on the masses of low-quality stem material The differences in feeding preferences lead, in turn, to differences in migratory habits The wildebeests follow, in their migration, the pattern of local rainfall The other species likewise However, when a new area is fueled by rain, the mammals migrate Page of 13 ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC VÀ ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI HỌC SINH GIỎI CÁC TRƯỜNG THPT CHUYÊN KHU VỰC DUYÊN HẢI VÀ ĐỒNG BẰNG BẮC BỘ MƠN TIẾNG ANH KHỐI 10 ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC VÀ ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI HỌC SINH GIỎI CÁC TRƯỜNG THPT CHUYÊN KHU VỰC DUYÊN HẢI VÀ ĐỒNG BẰNG BẮC BỘ MÔN TIẾNG ANH KHỐI 10 toward it in a set order to exploit it The larger, less fastidious feeders, the zebras, move in first; the choosier, smaller wildebeests come later; and the smallest species of all, Thomson's gazelle, arrives last The later species all depend on the preparations of the earlier one, for the actions of the zebra alter the vegetation to suit the stomachs of the wildebeest, topi, and gazelle 86 The word “illusory” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A definite B illuminating C misleading D exceptional 87 Which of the following questions about Richard Bell's research is NOT answered in paragraph 1?

D Why were buffalo excluded from the research study? 88 The word "associated" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A obvious B significant C expected D connected 89 The author mentions the cow and the horse in paragraph in order to A distinguish the functioning of their digestive systems from those of East African mammals B emphasize that their relatively large body size leads them to have feeding practices similar to those of East African mammals C illustrate differences between ruminants and nonruminants through the use of animals likely to be familiar to most readers D emphasize similarities between the diets of cows and horses and the diets of East African mammals 90 According to paragraph 2, which of the following herbivores has to eat large quantities of plant stems because it gains relatively little energy from each given quantity of this food? A The gazelle B The wildebeest C The zebra D The topi 91 Paragraph suggests that which of the following is one of the most important factors in determining differences in feeding preferences of East African herbivores? A The availability of certain foods B The differences in stomach structure C The physical nature of vegetation in the environment D The ability to migrate when food supplies are low 92 According to paragraph 2, all of the following are true of East African gazelles EXCEPT A they digest their food very quickly B microorganisms help them digest their food C they are unable to digest large food particles unless these are chewed down considerably Page of 13 ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC VÀ ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI HỌC SINH GIỎI CÁC TRƯỜNG THPT CHUYÊN KHU VỰC DUYÊN HẢI VÀ ĐỒNG BẰNG BẮC BỘ MÔN TIẾNG ANH KHỐI 10 ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC VÀ ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI HỌC SINH GIỎI CÁC TRƯỜNG THPT CHUYÊN KHU VỰC DUYÊN HẢI VÀ ĐỒNG BẰNG BẮC BỘ MÔN TIẾNG ANH KHỐI 10 D they survive well even if food supplies are not abundant 93 The word "fastidious" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A rapid B determined C flexible D demanding 94 According to paragraph 4, which of the following mammals exhibits a feeding behavior that is beneficial to the other herbivores that share the same habitat? A Topi B Zebra C Wildebeest D Gazelle 95 According to the passage, which of the following is true of wildebeests? A They eat more stem matter than zebras B They are able to digest large food particles if the food is of a high quality C They tend to choose feeding areas in which the vegetation has been worn down D They are likely to choose low-quality food to eat in periods when the quantity of rainfall is low Part For questions 96-105, read the passage and the following tasks Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes on the answer sheet (15 points) WHY COMPANIES SHOULD WELCOME DISORDER A Organisation is big business Whether it is of our lives - all those inboxes and calendars or how companies are structured, a multi-billion-dollar industry helps to meet this need We have more strategies for time management, project management and self-organisation than at any other time in human history We are told that we ought to organise our company, our home life, our week, our day and even our sleep, all as a means to becoming more productive Every week, countless seminars and workshops take place around the world to tell a paying public that they ought to structure their lives in order to achieve this This rhetoric has also crept into the thinking of business leaders and entrepreneurs, much to the delight of self-proclaimed perfectionists with the need to get everything right The number of business schools and graduates has massively increased over the past 50 years, essentially teaching people how to organise well B Ironically, however, the number of businesses that fail has also steadily increased Workrelated stress has increased A large proportion of workers from all demographics claim to be dissatisfied with the way their work is structured and the way they are managed This begs the question: what has gone wrong?

A Neap tide features weaker water currents and less difference between high and low tide levels B Lower current speeds result in little change in water levels between high tide and low tide C As a result, neap tide is difficult to detect due to little tidal variation and slow-moving tidal currents D The effects of these tidal bulges are less water movement between tides ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC VÀ ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI HỌC SINH GIỎI CÁC TRƯỜNG THPT CHUYÊN KHU VỰC DUYÊN HẢI VÀ ĐỒNG BẰNG BẮC BỘ MÔN TIẾNG ANH KHỐI 10 ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC VÀ ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI HỌC SINH GIỎI CÁC TRƯỜNG THPT CHUYÊN KHU VỰC DUYÊN HẢI VÀ ĐỒNG BẰNG BẮC BỘ MÔN TIẾNG ANH KHỐI 10 In the passage, what does the author say about simplified conditions?

Who made it and why? Solla Price and the Greek nuclear physicist Charalambos Karakalos proceeded to make Xray and gamma-ray images of the 82 fragments and in 1974 their findings were published Solla Price believed that the mechanism was the world's first analogue calendar computer Now the world was interested The mechanism was not simply a rusting piece of bronze from the middle ages that had accidentally become mixed up with real ancient artefacts It was now recognised as the earliest known example of a clockwork mechanism Scientists, archaeologists and mathematicians the world over wanted to find out more about this astonishing find and the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project was born It took more than 40 years of study to reveal the secrets in the fragments using modern computer X-ray tomography to enhance the inscriptions that were hidden within it and that led to understanding what the mechanism is and how it worked The detailed imaging revealed a machine ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC VÀ ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI HỌC SINH GIỎI CÁC TRƯỜNG THPT CHUYÊN KHU VỰC DUYÊN HẢI VÀ ĐỒNG BẰNG BẮC BỘ MƠN TIẾNG ANH KHỐI 10 ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC VÀ ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI HỌC SINH GIỎI CÁC TRƯỜNG THPT CHUYÊN KHU VỰC DUYÊN HẢI VÀ ĐỒNG BẰNG BẮC BỘ MÔN TIẾNG ANH KHỐI 10 with 37 gear wheels that allowed it to follow the movement of the sun and moon through the zodiac and to predict eclipses The construction of the item was based on 2nd century BC Greek theories of astronomy and mathematics It is the first extant construction of a differential gear system in history It is remarkable for both the level of its miniaturisation and the complexity of its gear system It is widely regarded as the most important find in the history of technology But although it is, without doubt, unbelievably sophisticated technology for its era, preceding anything like it by hundreds and hundreds of years, it still didn't work very well First of all, its theoretical accuracy was hampered by the theories of the time, which were not entirely accurate and, although it is a brilliant feat of engineering, the hand-built gears not have the fine precision tooled features that would allow it to work in the way it was designed to This takes nothing from it as an achievement and the ongoing research project may find out even more about this wonder of the world if more pieces are unearthed from the seabed in coming years But even as it is, it remains the world's first real computing machine and it was created over 2000 years ago Questions 1-5 Do the following statements agree with what the writer says in the text?
