ĐỀ THI SỐ 3 Question 1:Read the reading passage then choose the best answer a,b,c or d. All birds have feathers,and all animals with feathers are birds. No other major group of animals is so easy to categorize.All birds have wings,too.but wings are not peculiar to birds. Many adaptations are found in both feathers and wings.Feathers form the soft down of geese and ducks,the long decorative plumes of ostriches,and strong flight feathers of eagles and hawks.Wings vary from the short,broad ones of chickens,which seldom fly,to the long,slim ones of albatrosses,which spend almost all their lives soaring on air currents. In penguins,wings have been modified into flippers and feathers into a waterproof covering.In kiwis,the wings are almost impossible to detect. Yet diversity among birds is not so striking as it is among mammals.The difference between a hummingbird and a penguin is immense,but hardly as startling as that between a bat and a whale.It is variations in details rather than in fundamental patterns that has been important in the adaptation of birds to many kinds of ecosystems. 1,The word “categorize” in line 2 is closest in meaning to a-appreciate b-comprehend c-classify d-visualize 2,Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase “peculiar to” in line 3 ? a-unusual for b-common to c-necessary for d-unique to 3,The word “slim” in line7 is closest in meaning to a-slender b-powerful c-graceful d-soft 4,The word “detect” in line 9 is closest in meaning to a-utilize b-extend c-observe d-describe 5,Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “diversity” in line 10 ? a-function b-heredity c-specialty d-variety 6,The word “hardly” in line 11 is closest in meaning to a-definitely b-not nearly c-possibly d-not always 7,The word “startling” in line 11 is closest in meaning to a-initial b-exciting c-tremendous d-surprising 8,The word “fundamental”in line 12 is closest in meaning to a-basic b-shifting c-predictable d-complicated Question 2:Fill in each numbered space a suitable word to finish the passage below.
