and two ears allow us to hear in stereo If recent research findings are (51) , two nostrils function in (52) the same way In the olfactory system, each nostril conveys to the brain a slightly different olfactory (53) upon smelling an odor What is perceived in combination is (54) used by the brain to get a precise (55) of what the odor is The slight difference (56) the olfactory images seems to occur (57) the air flows at a different rate through each nostril, one of (58) has a low flow-rate and the other a high one Odors that dissolve slowly have their maximum effect in the (59) that has a slow movement of air Conversely, those that dissolve quickly have their (60) effect when the air stream is moving rapidly Thus, air drawn into the nose will give different responses in each nostril Not yet well understood is how the brain processes the disparate olfactory images as a single recognizable aroma Future studies will be needed to completely explain this phenomenon 51 A incorrect B reported C accurate D similar 52 A so B as C much D such 53 A process B image C where D once 54 A which B earlier C strongly D then 55 A meaning B measurement C location D sense 56 A in B about C to D when 57 A before B then C however D because 58 A those B which C each D such 59 A nostril B chemical C flow D other 60 A personal B strongest C negative D slowest V READING COMPREHENSION (10 PTS): Read the texts below and choose the best answer to each question Passage A Recently, researchers conducted a survey to investigate what motivates young adults to exercise The study might shed light on why so few college students exercise and why many stop their exercise workouts after they graduate Researchers analyzed responses from 937 randomly selected college students at a leading U.S university What the research team found was that 39% of the male students and 26% of the female students exercised at least three days a week for 20 minutes at a time These exercise patterns were fairly similar to those in surveys at other universities The survey also revealed some critical factors which motivate college students to exercise Men who exercised regularly reported that their friends provided considerable support for them to so Those who exercised only occasionally had moderate support from their friends, while those who did not exercise at all had little or no support from friends For women, however, the crucial motivating factor seemed to come from family members rather than from friends Women who exercised regularly had a great deal of positive support to so from their families However, women who exercised only occasionally received moderate levels of encouragement from their families, while those who did not work out at all received little or no support from their families Since college students often live far from home, women students are likely to have a weaker support system than their male counterparts A medical professor, upon seeing the results of the study, remarked that generally there is not so much emphasis on body performance among girls and young women “It’s a macho thing to be able to run faster or lift weights,” he said “However,” he continued, “for the younger generation, this gender gap appears to be getting smaller.” 61 What is the main purpose of the study presented in this passage? A to investigate college students’ attitudes towards good health and exercise B to find out why young women don’t like to exercise Tham khảo đáp án tại: https://tailieudieuky.com/ebook/De_thi_OLYMPIC_30_thang_04_mon_Tieng_Anh_qua_cac_nam 62 63 64 65 C to learn what makes college students exercise D to find the best type of exercise workout for college students What research method was used in this study? A College students reported on their friends’ exercise workouts B College students reported on their families’ exercise patterns C College professors answered questions about their students D College students answered questions about themselves What similarity between men and women did the study find? A The more friends they have, the more they exercise B The more support they have to exercise, the more they exercise C The closer they live to their families, the more they exercise D The more health-conscious they are, the more they exercise In comparison to the general college population, students at this university exercise A less often than average B about the same amount as average C more often than average D for longer at a time than average Why does the passage mention that some college students live far from home? A to emphasize that they not see their families every day B to criticize their life styles C to show how independent they are D to explain why they depend on their friends so much Passage B It has long been known that underweight, premature babies develop into children who perform worse at school than children who had normal birth weight and were full-term A recent study examining the effects of birth weight on intelligence suggests that even among full-term babies the heavier ones have an advantage The study has been following 3,900 British men and women since their birth in 1946 Birth weight was correlated with scores on tests of reading and arithmetic skills, non-verbal reasoning, memory, speed, and concentration These tests were conducted when the participants were 8, 11, 15, 26, and 43 years old Generally speaking, the heavier children performed better on the tests The relationship was strongest at age and then weakened over time By age 43, the relationship was negligible The results were not affected by birth order, gender, father’s social class, or mother’s education and age These findings must be interpreted with caution First, the results were based on averages Second, birth weight is only one of numerous factors influencing cognitive function Parental interest in education - such as volunteering at school or helping with homework - may offset the effect of birth weight Furthermore, poor environmental conditions, such as living in an overcrowded home, breathing polluted air, or being caught in a bitter divorce can diminish the early advantages enjoyed by heavier babies Although no one knows exactly what makes a newborn baby heavy, it is known that healthy, well-nourished mothers tend to have heavier babies, while those who eat poorly, smoke, and are heavy drinkers tend to produce smaller ones There are probably several other variables that affect birth weight, but if and how those are connected to intelligence is not known 66 In this study, the researchers examined the relationship between _ A maternal nutrition and birth weight B home environment and intelligence C age and intelligence D intelligence and birth weight 67 What did the researchers find out about the relationship they were studying? A It increased up to age 26, then decreased B It remained steady until age 26, then decreased C It decreased as the subjects grew older D It remained steady throughout the study 68 Which children have an advantage at school? A Those who were full-term, lighter weight babies B Those who were premature but normal weight babies C Those who were full-term, heavier babies D Those who were premature babies who gained weight quickly 69 According to the passage, what is one possible reason to question the conclusions of the study? A The study did not consider some environmental factors B The study was done too long ago C The study was done on premature babies, not full term ones Tham khảo đáp án tại: https://tailieudieuky.com/ebook/De_thi_OLYMPIC_30_thang_04_mon_Tieng_Anh_qua_cac_nam D The study tested different children at different ages 70 What is the main idea of the passage? A Premature babies are disadvantaged throughout their lives B Parents’ educational level affects intelligence C No one knows the exact relationship between test scores and intelligence D Bigger babies may be more intelligent than smaller ones Passage C Diving deep into the ocean is difficult for humans, although whales it easily The deepest a human has dived into the ocean without scuba gear is to 450 feet below the surface, which required him to hold his breath for about two minutes Humans are unable to go much deeper because at a certain point the external pressure becomes so great it crushes the ribcage and lungs Furthermore, lack of oxygen also prevents humans from staying under water for long periods It is amazing, then, that whales can dive to depths of up to 10,000 feet and remain there for as long as two hours Several adaptations enable the whale to this, among them the construction of its ribcage Unlike humans, whales have fewer “true” ribs, ribs joined directly to the breastbone, and more “floating” ribs, which are attached only to the preceding rib by cartilage This flexible design allows the whale’s ribcage to fold under pressure instead of breaking, and for its lungs to collapse without rupturing capillaries Also, during a dive, the whale’s heart slows to as low as to beats a minute Arteries constrict, reducing blood flow to many of the whale’s less vital organs, thus conserving oxygen and maintaining blood pressure in the brain and heart Humans emerging too suddenly from dives can suffer from “the bends,” when small bubbles of nitrogen gas form in body fluids and obstruct blood flow, leading to death Because whales collapse their lungs, air is pushed from the lungs into the windpipe, which is lined with thick membranes, making it difficult for nitrogen bubbles to pass into the bloodstream or other tissues Together, these and other adaptations enable whales to dive to such depths 71 What are “floating” ribs? A Ribs that are not attached to other ribs B Ribs that are not attached to the breastbone C Ribs that are made of cartilage D Ribs that are not able to fold under pressure 72 What is the main purpose of this passage? A to explain why whales can something that humans cannot B to explain how humans and whales adapted C to explain what happens at great depths D to explain how the human respiratory system works 73 When a whale dives, what contributes to the conservation of oxygen? A Blood pressure increases B Blood flow decreases C The lungs collapse D The ribcage folds 74 Compared to whales, humans have A weaker capillaries B thicker membranes in the windpipe C fewer floating ribs D slower heartbeats 75 How does the whale’s ribcage differ from that of a human? A The whale’s ribcage contains fewer vital organs B The whale’s ribcage can bend without breaking C Whales have fewer ribs than humans D The whale’s ribs are not attached to the breastbone Passage D Scientists have not been able to determine the exact age of the Earth directly from its rocks Geologists have yet to find any of Earth’s original rocks that have not been recycled and destroyed through the process of plate tectonics However, scientists have been able to determine the probable age of our solar system and to calculate an age for the Earth by looking elsewhere - to outer space In doing so, they had to assume that the Earth and the rest of the solid bodies in our solar system formed at the same time and are the same age Asteroids in outer space have not been subjected to the crushing forces of plate tectonics Meteorites, which are fragments of asteroids that fall to Earth, contain clues about planetary formation Being primordial rocks still in their original state, they can be dated fairly accurately by measuring the radioactive elements remaining in them since the formation of the solar system One group of scientists from Germany and Tham khảo đáp án tại: https://tailieudieuky.com/ebook/De_thi_OLYMPIC_30_thang_04_mon_Tieng_Anh_qua_cac_nam another from France analyzed meteorites and reached the same conclusion: The final phase of Earth’s formation, the separation of its metallic core from its silicate-based mantle, occurred about 30 million years earlier than previously thought The ages of more than seventy meteorites have been measured using radiometric dating techniques The results show that meteorites, and therefore presumably Earth, formed about 4.5 billion years ago These findings also push back the origin of Earth’s moon because most scientists believe that the Moon formed from material ejected when a Mars-sized planet collided with Earth The fact that these conclusions about the age of the Earth were reached by two independent groups of scientists increases the weight of the findings 76 What strengthens the claim made in this passage about Earth’s age? A Earth and meteorites are the same age B Two separate research studies had the same results C Geologists have found Earth’s original rocks D The moon is older than previously thought 77 What conclusion did the French and German scientists reach? A Meteorites have radioactive elements B Plate tectonics does not occur on asteroids C The Earth is older than was believed in the past D The Moon is older than the Earth 78 According to the passage, what is involved in “radiometric dating techniques”? A using radioactivity to restore an object to its original state B measuring the radioactive elements in an object C calculating how many times Earth’s rocks were recycled D subjecting an object to crushing forces 79 How did scientists date the Earth? A directly, by analyzing plate tectonics B directly, by measuring Earth’s metallic core C indirectly, by dating the Earth’s Moon D indirectly, by dating meteorites 80 What indicated the last stage in the Earth’s formation? A a reduction in the crushing force of plate tectonics B the separation of Earth’s core from its mantle C a shower of seventy meteorites falling to Earth D the collision of a Mars-sized planet with Earth B WRITTEN TEST I CLOZE TEST (20 PTS): Read the texts below and complete each space with ONE suitable word Passage A Fallingwater is recognized as one of the most unique and innovative (1) of American architecture of the 20th century Designed in 1935 by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this beautiful house in western Pennsylvania is actually built over a waterfall Wright placed the house above the waterfall by anchoring it to the (2) next to the falls with concrete “trays,” (3) mimic the natural shape of rock ledges As a(n) (4) , the house appears to be suspended above the waterfall, which cascades underneath it Wright took much care in (5) Fallingwater as harmonious with nature as possible by linking the house to its natural surroundings He placed large windows on opposite sides of the main rooms so that the breeze and (6) of the water could flow through the house (7) hindrance Wright also proposed covering the building in gold leaf in (8) to imitate the color of dying plants, and thereby connect the house to the (9) of seasons and the passage of time Furthermore, he added a (10) of outdoor terraces where people could enjoy the cool air of the wooded valley Today, Fallingwater is open to the public with its original setting, furnishings, and artwork intact Passage B Global warming may be threatening one of the world’s most important crops: rice Increased nighttime temperatures are associated with significant declines in crop (11) , according to a study conducted by researchers at the International Rice Institute The researchers analyzed twelve years of rice production along with twenty-five years of temperature data This study, a direct measurement of yields produced under normal field conditions, using (12) that good farmers normally employ, has confirmed previous simulations and suggests that (13) increases due to global warming will make it increasingly difficult to feed the Earth’s growing population Average (14) temperatures, which increased 0.35 degrees Celsius over the (15) of the study, have little effect on rice production However, a strong correlation exists between warmer nighttime temperatures, which have risen an average Tham khảo đáp án tại: https://tailieudieuky.com/ebook/De_thi_OLYMPIC_30_thang_04_mon_Tieng_Anh_qua_cac_nam of 1.1 degrees, (16) decreasing rice yields Although the underlying (17) of this relationship is unknown, researchers speculate that plants work harder to maintain themselves in (18) to the warmer nights and consequently divert energy from growth Thus, an average (19) of just one degree Celsius can (20) in a ten percent reduction in yields Similar findings have been reported for corn and soybean yields in the United States II WORD FORMATION: (20PTS) PART 1: Complete each sentence, using the correct form of the word in parentheses They were in search of archaeological remains (DATE) He always gets aggressive when he’s drunk (RESTRAIN) The drop in share prices in March was a of the financial crash that followed in June (RUN) She sang the first three verses with a piano and the last verse (COMPANY) I really didn't mean to offend her -

Vitamins are good for our health, aren't they? Perhaps not New research suggests that rather than ward off disease, high doses of certain vitamins may make more harm than good and could even put you in an early grave Some recent studies suggest that far from improving health, these vitamins, when taken at very high doses, may actually increase the risks of cancer and a range of debilitating diseases, a discovery that has sent the medicinal world into a spin Scientists are unsure as to when vitamins, so essential to health, can be toxic in high doses The most likely explanation is that the body is only equipped to deal with the levels found naturally in the environment If the intake is too far for the normal range, then the body's internal chemistry must be shunted out of alignment What this means is that the 10 commercially sold vitamins and those provided by nature is not always compatible The commercial forms may interfere with the body's internal chemistry by “crowding out” the most natural and beneficial forms of the nutrients The vitamins obtained in food are also allied with a host of other substances which may moderate or augment its activity in the body The latest advice is to eat a balance diet to ensure you get all the nutrients you need, 15 and if you must take supplements make sure you take the lowest recommended dose and follow the instructions on the bottle IV SENTENCE TRANSFORMATION: (20 PTS) Rewrite the following sentences using the words given People know more about my novels than the plays I write (BETTER) I'm _ The staff hated his new policies intensely and so went on strike (HATRED) So intense Tham khảo đáp án tại: https://tailieudieuky.com/ebook/De_thi_OLYMPIC_30_thang_04_mon_Tieng_Anh_qua_cac_nam Your attitude to life would be greatly improved by regular exercise (WONDERS) Regular exercise would There is someone in the office twenty-four hours a day (STAFFED) The office Do you think her grandmother was offended by what I said?
