been perplexed by the increasing prevalence of allergies in children While many (51) appear to contribute to the (52) of allergies, sensitization to common allergens has been shown to reduce the risk of allergies persisting from childhood into adulthood For example, one recent study shows that exposure early in life to cats and dogs may protect children against allergies (53) pets, dust mites, ragweed, and grass, among other things Some allergists had (54) thought that repeated exposure to pets in infancy would (55) the likelihood of developing pet allergies (56) , it is now believed that endotoxins, substances (57) in the mouths of cats and dogs, may (58) help to prevent allergies When a pet licks a child during play, endotoxins are transferred from the animal’s tongue to the child Endotoxins are (59) to help the human immune system (60) resistance towards some allergens in the environment The bottom line is that living too clean a life may contribute to the increasing number of

adequate sleep is important in the formation of memories Two recent studies indicate that performance of motor skills tasks was greatly enhanced if subjects were allowed to sleep immediately following training In one study students were taught a series of finger-tapping sequences and then tested for their memory of the tasks Performances were 34% faster for the first group of students, who slept for eight hours immediately after learning the sequences, as compared to the second group, who were kept awake during that time Furthermore, error rates were 30% lower for the group that slept after learning Performance on the tasks was shown to be unaffected by sleep deprivation prior to the training Differences in performance persisted two days later, after the second group of students had also had a full night’s sleep This indicates that a window of opportunity exists for sleep to be effective in aiding the memory of motor skills Tham khảo đáp án tại: https://tailieudieuky.com/ebook/De_thi_OLYMPIC_30_thang_04_mon_Tieng_Anh_qua_cac_nam In the other study, a group of people who were taught keyboarding sequences in the morning, and then tested 12 hours later without a period of sleep, improved their typing ability by 2% Another group, who were taught the sequences in the evening, and then tested 12 hours later after a night’s sleep, improved their typing ability by 20% This study found that performance improvement is linked to Stage sleep, or non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, typically experienced late at night or in the early morning hours According to this study, those who get up earlier than usual, thus interrupting their Stage sleep, may have difficulty remembering motor skills tasks they had learned the day before 61 According to the studies, what improves motor skills performance? A Waiting two days before continuing instruction B Learning tasks in the correct sequence C Learning a skill and then sleeping D Getting a good night’s sleep before learning a skill 62 The findings of the first study indicate that A sleep deprivation before learning a task has a negative effect on performance B sleeping immediately after learning a task has a positive effect on performance C sleep deprivation immediately after learning a task has no effect on performance D sleeping immediately before learning a task has a positive effect on performance 63 The results of the second study A are unrelated to the first study B contradict the results of the first study C confirm the results of the first study D explain the results of the first study 64 According to the passage, what is the importance of NREM sleep? A A decrease in NREM improves the formation of memories B Too much NREM slows down the formation of memories C There is no relationship between NREM and the formation of memories D Lack of NREM inhibits the formation of memories 65 According to the studies, which strategy would be best for learning to play the piano? A Learning in the evening, and then getting a good night’s sleep B Learning immediately after getting up very early C Learning in the morning, and then doing something else D Learning late in the evening and then taking a short nap Passage B Scientists at a Texas university have successfully cloned a cat for the first time DNA obtained from a female donor cat named Rainbow was transplanted into an egg cell whose nucleus and chromosomes had been previously removed The egg cell was then implanted into a surrogate mother, Allie Sixty-six days later, a kitten, later named Copy Cat, was born The breakthrough in cloning a household pet was greeted with excitement by pet lovers, many of whom have already “banked” their pets’ DNA and even made financial contributions to the university in the hope of one day obtaining a clone The news was also welcomed by scientists interested in the preservation of endangered species Although scientists now have the technology to clone animals, Copy Cat’s birth came only after several unsuccessful attempts at cloning a cat Researchers first tried using skin cells from a donor cat to create a clone, but only one pregnancy resulted out of 188 embryos, and this ended in a miscarriage Scientists then tried using cells from cats’ ovarian tissue Out of 87 such embryos, only Copy Cat survived Although comparable to the success rate in sheep, cows, goats and pigs, these odds must be reduced to make pet cloning feasible Animal rights activists claim that pet cloning is dangerous for the animals involved, and that it could needlessly increase the pet population of the country Also, activists say that believing cloning will bring the same animal back is a fallacy Although Copy Cat’s coat color is similar to Rainbow’s and a genetic match confirms that she is indeed a clone, her behavior and personality are very different Rainbow is reserved, while Copy Cat is playful and curious In reality, social environment and upbringing are more likely to determine the personality of an animal than genetic material and blood type 66 The main purpose of this passage is to A advocate further research into pet cloning B encourage pet lovers to bank their pets’ DNA C generate funds for the university’s pet cloning project D present the pros and cons associated with cloning pets Tham khảo đáp án tại: https://tailieudieuky.com/ebook/De_thi_OLYMPIC_30_thang_04_mon_Tieng_Anh_qua_cac_nam 67 What is Allie’s relationship to Copy Cat? A She gave birth to Copy Cat B She was cloned from Copy Cat’s DNA C She has the same personality as Copy Cat D She provided the donor cells used to create Copy Cat 68 According to the passage, what important fact should pet lovers keep in mind before cloning their pet? A Banking a pet’s DNA is expensive B Cloning will bring back the same animal C The clone could be different from the original animal D Cloning sheep, cows and pigs is easier than cloning a cat 69 What beneficial effect might cloning have in the future? A It could be used to prevent miscarriages B It could be used to prevent the extinction of rare animals C It could reduce the number of unwanted pets in the country D It could reduce the impact of upbringing on a pet’s behavior 70 According to the passage, which factor is most important in determining a pet’s behavior? A Its DNA B Its donor tissue C Its environment D Its surrogate mother Passage C Brood parasitism, an unusual practice among birds, involves one species laying its eggs in another species’ nest, leaving the host to raise the intruder’s young For instance, female European Cuckoos lay their eggs only in the nests of other birds A cuckoo egg usually closely mimics the eggs of the host, one of whose eggs is often removed by the cuckoo The host may recognize the intruder’s egg and abandon the nest, or she may stay and raise the young Soon after the cuckoo hatches, if there are any host bird’s young in the nest, the cuckoo will toss them out, using a scooplike depression in its back The host parents are then left to raise the young cuckoo Brown-headed cowbirds are another brood parasitic species They have been known to parasitize over 200 other species of birds Their eggs not closely mimic host eggs, and they not oust host eggs and young from their nests Instead, cowbirds tend to hatch earlier than hosts and grow faster, thus crowding out and reducing the food intake of the host’s young Some host species have learned, however, to reject invader eggs Scientists not fully understand how these rejector species have developed, or why some species still accept invader eggs even when the eggs look different Some scientists believe that acceptors are birds that not want to risk damaging or accidentally removing one of their own eggs when trying to eject an invader Others believe that beak size influences rejection, allowing birds with large beaks to eject invader eggs more easily Still other scientists claim that chance plays a big role in deciding which birds will be acceptors and which will be rejectors 71 What European Cuckoos and brown-headed cowbirds have in common? A They are both rejector species B Their eggs not closely mimic host eggs C They lay their eggs in the nests of other birds D They have been known to parasitize over 200 other species 72 What is the “scooplike depression” mentioned at the end of paragraph one used for? A to remove host birds’ young B to remove host birds’ eggs C to remove a parasite’s young D to remove a parasite’s egg 73 What is one difference between European Cuckoos and brown-headed cowbirds? A Cuckoos raise their own young B The baby cuckoo eats the host birds’ eggs C The baby cuckoo crowds out host bird babies D The baby cuckoo ejects host birds’ young from nests 74 What advantage young cowbirds have in another bird’s nest? A They toss out the host birds’ young B They develop faster than the host birds’ young C They are very similar to the host birds’ young D The mother cowbird removes one of the host birds’ eggs Tham khảo đáp án tại: https://tailieudieuky.com/ebook/De_thi_OLYMPIC_30_thang_04_mon_Tieng_Anh_qua_cac_nam 75 According to the passage, birds with large beaks A tend to accept invader eggs B are able to remove invader eggs C tend to damage their own eggs D are rejected by birds with small beaks Passage D There are more than 500 carnivorous plant species growing naturally in the world, ranging in size from a fraction of an inch to vines that are over 60 feet tall While often biologically quite different from each other, these plants all share a common trait, carnivorousness This is the ability to capture animals and digest them Why have some plant species developed this extraordinary property? Most carnivorous plants grow in acid soils or water that is poor in mineral salts In order to survive, these plants have devised ingenious traps over several thousands of years of evolution Some use pools of water to drown unlucky visitors, others have sticky surfaces that work like flypaper, and some have “snap traps” that clamp down on insects in a matter of milliseconds The prey captured by these traps supply the vitamins and minerals that other plants would normally absorb through their roots Even though these plants may have diverse appearances and grow in different environments, they are often closely related to each other In the 19th Century, Charles Darwin believed that landbased Venus flytraps, found in North and South Carolina, and aquatic waterwheels, which grow in Europe, Asia and Australia, were closely related because they both depend on snap traps to catch their prey A century later, British researchers looking more closely at the form and structure of the waterwheel, decided that its closest kin was not the Venus flytrap but the terrestrial sundew The sundew consumes insects caught with its flypaper trap However, it has recently been proved that Darwin’s hunch was right after all Scientists at the New York Botanical Garden studied the DNA of about a dozen carnivorous plants They concluded that the world’s only two snap-trapping plants really are sibling species, whereas the sundew is no closer than a cousin, sharing a more distant common ancestor 76 How does a snap trap work? A It drowns an insect B It encloses an insect C It traps an insect on its sticky surface D It digests an insect through its roots 77 Why did Darwin think the Venus flytrap and the waterwheel were related? A They live in similar environments B They have similar DNA C Both are siblings of the sundew D Both have snap traps 78 British researchers decided that the two species most closely related to each other are A waterwheels and sundews B flytraps and snap traps C Venus flytraps and sundews D Venus flytraps and waterwheels 79 How are non-carnivorous plants different from carnivorous plants? A Non-carnivorous plants get nutrients through their roots B Non-carnivorous plants can live in acid soils C Non-carnivorous plants are less biologically diverse than carnivorous plants D Non-carnivorous plants evolved more slowly than carnivorous plants 80 What are the two snap-trapping plants mentioned in the last sentence? A The aquatic waterwheel and the terrestrial sundew B The Venus flytraps from North and South Carolina C Venus flytraps and the aquatic waterwheel D Venus flytraps and the terrestrial sundew B WRITTEN TEST I CLOZE TEST (20 PTS): Read the texts below and complete each space with ONE suitable word Tham khảo đáp án tại: https://tailieudieuky.com/ebook/De_thi_OLYMPIC_30_thang_04_mon_Tieng_Anh_qua_cac_nam Passage A It is common knowledge that rainfall in the mountains directly influences nearby river levels Yet recent research has revealed that some efforts are not seen (1) fifty years after the rain has fallen A study by a civil engineering professor investigated the (2) it takes for precipitation to travel from mountains to valleys (3) underground aquifers, or water passages Using a computer model, this scientist (4) on the water levels of a major river in the Rio Grande Valley in New Mexico His model showed that a drought that occurred fifty years ago could be partly to (5) for current low water levels The model assumed a fifty-year wet climate cycle followed by an abrupt change in which precipitation was cut in half For decades, there was no change in the base flow of the Rio Grande, (6) after fifty years that dry cycle (7) up in the river Previously, (8) such as how much water to store and (9) from reservoirs have been based on a conservative view, because it has been hard to predict streamflows years (10) However, if additional research supports this study, the much-delayed impact of droughts on underground water levels would have significant implications for water management Passage B Over one hundred brightly colored and diverse frog species have recently been identified on the tropical island of Sri Lanka The new species were identified by noticeable (11) in physical features, habitat, development, and genetic make-up Some are tiny and dwell on the ground, whereas (12) are large and inhabit trees Five of the new (13) lay eggs in homespun baskets suspended above water, so that when the eggs (14) the tadpoles have no difficulty taking their first (15) The remaining new frog species give birth to their young by producing eggs on the forest floor These frogs (16) the tadpole stage and emerge as miniature (17) of their parents Frogs and other amphibians are important indicators of ecological balance; therefore a decline in their numbers would be considered a warning that (18) of the natural environment for a particular area is needed (19) that Sri Lanka has already lost 95% of its forests, measures to protect the remaining forest fragments are crucial Since many frogs produce chemicals that could have practical applications in health care and medical treatment, they are a potential source of new drugs Thus, ensuring that frogs are protected by preserving and restoring their (20) is very important II WORD FORMATION: (20PTS) PART 1: Complete each sentence, using the correct form of the word in parentheses Another nuclear accident in the same place is virtually (CONCEIVE) Though she had spent hours fixing the computer, he her efforts (LITTLE) Smoking has caused damage to his lungs (REVERSE) –“Was it a good read?" –“Oh, totally !
