Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D
Text 1:
Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our culture Culture
is the framework in which families are structured It shapes our expectations and ideals Culture plays a part
in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children and parents
Trang 3Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important Culture affects the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and number of children a couple have, the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way parents raise children
Understanding how relationships and marriages vary across cultural contexts, and how they are similar, we will be able to identify the unique ways that marriages and family life affect people of various cultures As a result, we will be able to help families and sustain happy marriages
A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting The cultural
background, visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it, the different habits and ways of doing and saying things that people from other cultures have, are all very exciting
indeed What of the disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship with someone from
another country or cultural background? No matter how much you love your husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross cultural awareness, cross cultural communication and respect for differences
Misunderstanding seems to be unavoidable
Question 33: The passage is about…

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled –
a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened
In the future, even water vapour might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by
various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air
purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature’s output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such a region, human
output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air
The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for
a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur
Trang 4dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm
Question 38: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.The economic impact of air pollution
B.What constitutes an air pollutant
C.How much harm air pollutants can cause D.The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere
Question 39: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that…
A.water vapour is an air pollutant in localized areas
B.most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled
C.the definition of air pollution will continue to change
D.a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities
Question 40: The word “These” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to …
A.the various chemical reactions
B.the pollutants from the developing Earth
C.the compounds moved to the water or soil D.the components in biogeochemical cycles
Question 41: For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling
air pollution?
A.They function as part of a purification process
B.They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants
C.They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants
D.They have existed since the Earth developed
Question 42: According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions…
A.can be dwarfed by nature’s output of pollutants
B.can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants
C.will damage areas outside of the localized regions
D.will react harmfully with natural pollutants
Question 43: The word “localized” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to
A specified B circled C surrounded D encircled
Question 44: According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only
A.the other substances in the area are known
B.it is in a localized area
C.the natural level is also known D.it can be calculated quickly
