ĐỀ THI SỐ 2 Question 1: Read the reading passage and then choose the best answer a,b,c or d. It would be hard to cite a development that has had more impact on American industry than the Bessemer process of making steel.It made possible the production of low-cost steel and established the foundation of the modern steel industry.In many ways it was responsible for the rapid industrialization of the United States that took place in the formative period of the late 1800s. The first Bessemer plant in the United States was built in Wyandotte,Michigan,in 1864, near the end of the Civil War.It was capable of producing only 2 tons of steel ingots at a time.The ingots were rolled into rails-the first steel rails made in the United States. Acceptance of the process was initially slow.By 1870,the annual output of Bessemer steel was a mere 42 thousand tons.Production grew rapidly after about 1875,rising to 1.2 million tons in 1880,when it exceeded that of wrought iron for the first time. The rise of the U.S.steel industry in the last quarter of the nineteenth century was brought about largely by the demand for Bessemer steel rails for the nation’s burgeoning rail network.Steel rails were far more durable than those made of iron.Spurred by this demand,the U.S.steel industry became the largest in the world in 1886,when it surpassed that of Great Britain. The Bessemer process was the chief method of making steel until 1907,when it was overtaken by the open-hearth process.By the 1950s,the Bessemer process accounted for less than 3 percent of the total U.S.production. 1,With what topic is this passage mainly concerned? a-The history of metal working. b-A comparison of the U.S.and British steel industries in the nineteenth century. c-The technical details of the Bessemer process. d-The effects of one method of making steel. 2,According to the passage,the Bessemer process contributed to all the following EXCEPT a-the establishment of the modern steel industry in the United States. b-the manufacture of weapons during the Civil War. c-lowered costs for steel. d-industrial development in the United States during an important period. 3,What can be inferred from the passage about wrought iron ? a-At one time,more of it was produced than Bessemer steel. b-It is a by-product of the Bessemer process. c-It was once primarily imported from Great Britain. d-It later became a more important product than Bessemer steel. 4,The word “burgeoning” in line 13 is closest in meaning to a-overpowering b-planned c-expanding d-vital 5,According to the passage,why was Bessemer steel rails used in place of iron rails ? a-They lasted longer. b-They did not have to be imported.c- They could be installed faster. d-They provided a smoother ride for passengers. 6,The word “Spurred” in line 14 is closest in meaning to which of the following ? a-Driven b-Challenged c-Dominated d-Broken 7,According to the passage,in what year did the steel industry of the United States begin to produce more steel than that of Great Britain? a-in 1864 b-in 1875 c-in 1880 d-in 1886 8,What can be inferred about the steel industry in the United States during the 1950s? a-It had begun producing many new types of products. b-It was in a period of severe decline. c-It primarily involved methods of production other than the Bessemer product. d-It was becoming more and more important. 9,The paragraph following this one probably concerns a-innovations in the railroad industry. b-the open-hearth method of making steel. c-industrialization in the twentieth century. d-new methods of making wrought iron. 10,The author first begins to discuss the growth of the Bessemer process in a-lines 2-3 b-lines 5-6 c-lines10-11 d-lines 17-18 Question 2:Rewrite these sentences,beginning as shown. 1,I’m sure she’s not at home-I’ve just phoned and there’s no reply. / She 2,They took away his passport so that he wouldn’t leave the country. / They prevented 3,The storm blew a lot of trees down last night. / A lot of trees 4, “Where are you spending your holidays ?” Janet asked us. / Janet asked 5,We stayed in this hotel. / This is 6,I can’t find the letter anywhere.I’m sure someone has thrown it away.
