Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop. Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not aliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moistskinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word. The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees. Question 46: The title for this passage could be _________. A. “Desert Plants” B. “Life Underground” C. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” D. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment” Question 47: The word “tissues” in the passage mostly means _________. A. “the smallest units of living matter that can exist on their own” B. “collections of cells that form the different parts of humans, animals and plants” C. “very smal living things that cause infectious disease in people, animals and plants” D. “the simplest forms of life that exist in air, water, living and dead creatures and plants” Question 48: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as _________. A. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert B. water is an essential part of his existence C. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things D. very few lagre animals are found in the desert Question 49: The pharse “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _________.

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes. It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment. One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better. This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence. Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining. People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice: * Marry an intelligent person. * Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents. * Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard. * Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician. Question 56: The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires __________. A. an expensive education B. good musical instruments C. parental support and encouragement D. wealthy and loving parents Question 57: The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to "__________". A. other people B. other scientists C. other children D. other geniuses Question 58: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that __________. A. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement B. intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability C. ability depends both on intelligence and on environment D. different twins generally have different levels of ability. Question 59: Scientists chose twins for their study because __________. A. each twin has the same environment as his/her twin B. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing C. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities D. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence Question 60: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? A. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nutured. B. They practice playing their instruments for many years. C. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas. D. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic. Question 61: The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow __________. A. their own interests B. their parent’s interests C. only their interests in musical instruments D. only their interests in computer games Question 62: When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid __________.

A. “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful” B. “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people” C. “of high quality or an acceptable standard” D. “under the control or in the power of somebody else” Question 65: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT __________. A. educational development depends completely on economic well-being B. a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents C. to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development D. studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure Prepared by Nguyen Sy Chien Friday, July 15, 2011 4 Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction.

It is one-third that is very rich and two- thirds that are very poor. People in the rich third don't realize the enormous difference between them and the other two- thirds. A very simple example is that a dog or a cat in North America eats better than a child in the poorer countries. A fisherman in South America may be catching fish which is processed into pet food and yet his own children are not getting enough protein for their bodies to develop their properly. Although a lot of the world natural resources like oil come from these poorer countries, we in the richer countries are probably using sixty times as much of these resources as a person in Asia or Africa. The richer countries are in a position to dictate to suppliers what kind of prices they are prepared to pay for these natural resources. In some cases the prices have gone down. In others they have remained steady. But the prices the richer countries get for their own exports have continued to rise. So they are getting richer and richer and the poorer countries are getting poorer.

B. a lot of natural resources in the world come from poorer countries. C. they are very strong and fat. D. they eat much and get much protein.
