the corresponding numbered boxes (15pts) The United States government is currently taking a serious look at the moon and Mars as potential places for future human settlement for a number of reasons First, they could be a future source of natural resources desperately needed on the Earth Second, the moon could serve as a training ground or a kind of stepping stone for later journeys to Mars Therefore, the moon is already on NASA’s docket for further exploration within the next couple of decades, which, at least to some experts, is completely unnecessary mainly due to the needless risks involved Mars looming as the eventual long-term goal, serious questions exist as to whether the dangers and difficulties of a lunar settlement are too extreme and unnecessary The moon’s relatively harsh environment and the greater potential of natural resources on Mars are major reasons that make lunar settlements too great a liability and why the moon should be bypassed One major reason a lunar settlement is too hazardous is the contrast between the environment of the moon and the red planet Numerous scientists believe the moon is too difficult for human settlement as compared to Mars The fact that the moon has no atmosphere poses the greatest threat to human beings Atmosphere is crucial because it protects humans and all other life from continuous bombardment cosmic radiation caused by sources such as the sun This radiation is especially dangerous to humans because it increases the risk of cancer and can negatively alter and mutate DNA On the other hand, while Mars’s atmosphere is significantly thinner than the Earth’s, at least it has one and would create some sort of protective barrier for humans Another important characteristic necessary for sustainable human settlement is water, of which the moon is believed to have none If lunar settlements are to be successful, water will be a key component and must be brought with the colonists and continually supplied by further expeditions from the Earth, which means they will have a limited capacity of it Conversely, Mars contains vast quantities of water ice, dry ice, and also snow There is also ample evidence that water once existed at the surface of Mars and might return in the future if the planet warms With increased technological advances in conversion capabilities, the potential for settlers to remain on Mars indefinitely by being increasingly self – sufficient makes Mars a much more attractive goal as a space colony than the moon Future colonists will not only benefit from potential water sources on Mars; the planet is also rich in other basic elements vital to sustained life These resources include nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen Mars also contains many minerals that contain iron, silicon, and magnesium, which can be used in productive ways For example, silicon can be used to make solar cells to store energy and create electricity Hydrogen can be extracted from water sources and used as fuel Moreover, it can be combined with nitrogen to form fertilizing materials necessary to a sustainable colony Due to these factors, Mars would be a more successful candidate for exploration and settlement because it contains the basic resources necessary for humans to survive more independently of aid from the Earth than they would on the moon Clearly, any future settlements on Mars or the moon will be monumental efforts for the space agencies and astronauts involved The expenses incurred will be extreme and are a further reason why plans and implementation should focus on the project, which has the greater potential of long-term success While the moon may serve as a temporary training ground for Mars, it could end up becoming a major diversion from Mars and place humans in too great a risk with too little benefit Because the environment of Mars is more similar to that of Earth and it contains important resources necessary to sustain life, it should be the one and only option for any kind of long-term human settlement Furthermore, the moon has been eclipsed by mankind, and it is only natural that Mars be the next step for space exploration Finally, the habitation of Mars would not only be a milestone in space but also an excellent opportunity for mankind to redeem itself from past exploits on the Earth and preserve and make the best use of the natural resources Mars has to offer 1: According to paragraph 1, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT _ A Space settlement could supplement natural resources for the Earth B The moon could be used as a practice arena for Mars exploration C The exploration of the moon might pose threats to humankind D NASA ignores the exploration for the moon due to the risks involved 2: The word “looming” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A expanding B Competing C waiting D emerging 3: The author discusses “environment” in paragraph in order to _ A express the notion that Mars poses less life-threatening hazards than the moon B indicate that lunar settlements are futile because the moon has no atmosphere C propose that cosmic radiation would have little effect on the lunar colonists D justify why the moon is a more practical place than Mars for human settlement 4: The word “it” in paragraph refers to _ A life B radiation C atmosphere D bombardment 5: According to paragraph 3, the atmosphere on Mars would A cause humans to be more openly exposed to potentially fatal illnesses B change the genetic makeup of humans and cause their DNA to change and mutate C give human colonists a safety shield against dangerous cosmic effects D protect humans completely from harmful cosmic radiation coming from space 6: The word “sustainable” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A verifiable B unexceptional C insatiable D endurable 7: What can be inferred about water sources on Mars? A They are not present at the moment though they probably once were B They will be easily converted into liquid forms necessary for life C They exist in liquid form below the surface and ice at the immediate surface D They are not known to be present in a fluid state above or below the surface 8: According to paragraph 6, what is TRUE about the mineral content of Mars? A Their levels not reach the magnitude of those found on the moon B Some will help future colonists create their own sources of energy C Most are in their rawest forms and cannot be utilized completely D The planet lacks the fundamental elements of carbon and nitrogen 9: What is the main idea of the passage? A Scientists’ strenuous efforts to renovate other planets for human life B Scientists’ plans to exploit resources on other planets to support the Earth C The possibility of settlement on Mars is greater than that on the moon D Further exploration of the moon is unnecessary in the next two decades 10: The word “fertilizing” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A saturating B nourishing C suffocating D Exhausting Your answer: 10 Part 4: Read the passage and complete the tasks below (15pts) The effects of light on plant and animal species Light is important to organisms for two different reasons Firstly it is used as a cue for the timing of daily and seasonal rhythms in both plants and animals, and secondly it is used to assist growth in plants Breeding in most organisms occurs during a part of the year only, and so a reliable cue is needed to trigger breeding behaviour Day length is an excellent cue, because it provides a perfectly predictable pattern of change within the year In the temperate zone in spring, temperatures fluctuate greatly from day to day, but day length increases steadily by a predictable amount The seasonal impact of day length on physiological responses is called photoperiodism, and the amount of experimental evidence for this phenomenon is considerable For example, some species of birds' breeding can be induced even in midwinter simply by increasing day length artificially (Wolfson 1964) Other examples of photoperiodism occur in plants A shortday plant flowers when the day is less than a certain critical length A long-day plant flowers after a certain critical day length is exceeded In both cases the critical day length differs from species to species Plant which flower after a period of vegetative growth, regardless of photoperiod, are known as day-neutral plants Breeding seasons in animals such as birds have evolved to occupy the part of the year in which offspring have the greatest chances of survival Before the breeding season begins, food reserves must be built up to support the energy cost of reproduction, and to provide for young birds both when they are in the nest and after fledging Thus many temperate-zone birds use the increasing day lengths in spring as a cue to begin the nesting cycle, because this is a point when adequate food resources will be assured The adaptive significance of photoperiodism in plants is also clear Short-day plants that flower in spring in the temperate zone are adapted to maximising seedling growth during the growing season Long-day plants are adapted for situations that require fertilization by insects, or a long period of seed ripening Short-day plants that flower in the autumn in the temperate zone are able to build up food reserves over the growing season and over winter as seeds Dayneutral plants have an evolutionary advantage when the connection between the favourable period for reproduction and day length is much less certain For example, desert annuals germinate, flower and seed whenever suitable rainfall occurs, regardless of the day length The breeding season of some plants can be delayed to extraordinary lengths Bamboos are perennial grasses that remain in a vegetative state for many years and then suddenly flower, fruit and die (Evans 1976) Every bamboo of the species Chusquea abietifolio on the island of Jamaica flowered, set seed and died during 1884 The next generation of bamboo flowered and died between 1916 and 1918, which suggests a vegetative cycle of about 31 years The climatic trigger for this flowering cycle is not yet known, but the adaptive significance is clear The simultaneous production of masses of bamboo seeds (in some cases lying 12 to 15 centimetres deep on the ground) is more than all the seed-eating animals can cope with at the time, so that some seeds escape being eaten and grow up to form the next generation (Evans 1976) The second reason light is important to organisms is that it is essential for photosynthesis This is the process by which plants use energy from the sun to convert carbon from soil or water into organic material for growth The rate of photosynthesis in a plant can be measured by calculating the rate of its uptake of carbon There is a wide range of photosynthetic responses of plants to variations in light intensity Some plants reach maximal photosynthesis at one- quarter full sunlight, and others, like sugarcane, never reach a maximum, but continue to increase photosynthesis rate as light intensity rises Plants in general can be divided into two groups: shade-tolerant species and shadeintolerant species This classification is commonly used in forestry and horticulture Shadetolerant plants have lower photosynthetic rates and hence have lower growth rates than those of shade- intolerant species Plant species become adapted to living in a certain kind of habitat, and in the process evolve a series of characteristics that prevent them from occupying other habitats Grime (1966) suggests that light may be one of the major components directing these adaptations For example, eastern hemlock seedlings are shade-tolerant They can survive in the forest understorey under very low light levels because they have a low photosynthetic rate Questions - Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 3? TRUE if the statement agrees with the information FALSE if the statement contradicts the information NOT GIVEN if there is no information on this There is plenty of scientific evidence to support photoperiodism Some types of bird can be encouraged to breed out of season Desert annuals are examples of long-day plants Bamboos flower several times during their life cycle Eastern hemlock is a fast-growing plant Questions - 10 Complete the sentences Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage for each answer Day length is a useful cue for breeding in areas where are unpredictable Plants which not respond to light levels are referred to as Plants that flower when days are long often depend on to help them reproduce Desert annuals respond to as a signal for reproduction 10 Tolerance to shade is one criterion for the Horticulture of plants in forestry and Your answer: 10 PART D WRITING (50 pts) Part I (20pts) The bar chart below shows the popularity of well-known Instagram accounts in 2011 and 2021 Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant (20pts) Part II (30pts) Write an essay of about 200 - 250 words on the following topic: “If you had the opportunity to eradicate either crime or environmental pollution, what would you choose and why?” Người đề: Đinh Thị Loan Nguyễn Thị Thu Thương Sđt: 0916071888 0969091661 ... process blue colors are the result of (7) and slightly (8) (9) and (10) brings about Your answer: 10 PART B LEXICO-GRAMMAR (40 points) Part I Choose the correct answer to complete... answer: 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 10 20 Part II Read the sentences below Use the word given in capitals in brackets to form a word that fits in the gap (10pts) Most common in the Northern Hemisphere,... behavior could be taken as SUPERCILIOUS 10 A mother has to be a nurse, house keeper, shopper, cook, teacher, etc She plays a role LATERAL Your answer: 10 Part III Complete each of the following
