A How people express interest in what others are saying B What food to eat in a courthouse C What topics to avoid in conversation D How late is considered impolite Question 46: The word “those” in paragraph refers to A invisible cultural assumptions B people from a different culture C topics that should be avoided in conversation D people who speak a different language Trang | Vững vàng tảng, Khai sáng tương lai Question 47: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A We are often aware that we are learning about culture B Visible aspects of cultures receive much attention in discussion of cultural diversity C People misinterpret other people's behavior because they know they are experiencing cultural differences D Invisible cultural differences are often witnessed at formal organizations and institutions Question 48: It can be inferred from paragraph that conflict results when _ A one culture is more invisible than another culture B people compete with those from other cultures C some people recognize more cultural differences than others D people think cultural differences are personal Question 49: The author implies that institutions such as schools and workplaces A are aware of cultural differences B reinforce invisible cultural differences C share a common culture D teach their employees about cultural differences Question 50: Which of the following would most likely result in misunderstanding?

indicator of an individual’s status regarding aging because _ A elderly people are often athletic B there is individual variation in the rate of biological aging C strenuous activities are not good

instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra The Sea shepherd Trang | 12 Vững vàng tảng, Khai sáng tương lai found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally The captain and crew of the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling Instead, they killed as many whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it Later, they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that he could He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal whaling ship, and he sank the Sierra He acted because he believes that the whales must be protected Still, he acted without the approval of the government; therefore, his actions were controversial Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist Other men and women are also fighting to protect the Earth Like Watson, they not always have the approval of their governments, and like Watson, they have become impatient Yet, because of their concern for the environment, they will act to protect it (Adapted from “Eco fighters” by Eric Schwartz, OMNI) Question 38 According to the reading, an environmental activist is someone who _ A runs into whaling ship B does something to protect the Earth C talks about protecting endangered species D is a hero, like Paul Watson Question 39 when something is “controversial”, _ A everyone agrees with it B everyone disagrees with it C people have different ideas about it D people protect it Question 40 The Sea Shepherd was hunting _ A the Atlantic Ocean B whales C the Sierra D Portugal Question 41 The author implies that Paul Watson lives in _ A Portugal B a ship on the Atlantic C the Sierra D Canada Question 42 In paragraph 3, the phrase “and froze it” refers to _ A whale meat B the Sierra C whales D the Sierra crew Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C orD to indicate the correct answer for each of the blanks The ocean bottom - a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of Earth - is a vast frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharted Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earths surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the National Science Foundations Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP’s drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean’s surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from the ocean floor The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983 During this time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed sediments and rocks at 624 drilling sites around the world The Glomar challenger’s core samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it will probably look like millions of years in the future Today, largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger’s voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that shape the Earth Trang | 13 Vững vàng tảng, Khai sáng tương lai The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critical to understanding the world’s past climates Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of past climates This record has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic change - information that may be used to predict future climates Question 43 The author refers to the ocean bottom as a “frontier” because it _ A is not a popular area for scientific research B contains a wide variety of life forms C attracts courageous explorers D is an unknown territory Question 44 The word “inaccessible” is closest in meaning to _ A unrecognizable B unreachable C unusable D unsafe Question 45 The author mentions “outer space” because _ A the Earth’s climate millions of years ago was similar to conditions in outer space B it is similar to the ocean floor in being alien to the human environment C rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor D techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration Question 46 which of the following is true of the Glomar Challenger?

Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their children's answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of months over the children in the control group Question 38 Parents can give great help to their children's language development by them A responding to B reading to C adopting D experimenting Question 39 what does the word "they" in the second paragraph refer to?

A Why hydrogen is abundant B How stars produce energy C When most of the helium in the universe was formed D The difference between helium and hydrogen Question 44 According to the passage, helium is A difficult to detect B the oldest element in the universe C the second-most abundant element in the universe D the most prevalent element in quasars Question 45 The word “constituents” is closest in meaning to A causes B relatives C components D targets Question 46 Why does the author mention “cosmic rays”?
