Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 50. Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit. by being flat and hugging the contours. There are two very different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways. The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks, have become flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great "wings". They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical and " the right way up". Conversely, fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become fiat in a different way. There are bony fish which have a marked tendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much " taller" than they are wide. They use their whole, vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through the water as they move. Therefore, when their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their bellies. However, this raises the problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was effectively useless – In evolution this problem was solved by the lower eye " moving" around the other side. We see this process of moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish. It starts life swimming near the surface, and is symmetrical and vertically flattened, but then the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted fashion, so that one eye, for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards, an old Picasso-like vision. Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on the left, and others on either side. Question 1: The word "this" refers to A. the problem of the one eye looking downwards B. the migration of the ancestors C. the difficulty of the only one eye being useful D. the practice of lying on one side Question 2: According to the passage, the ability of a bony flatfish to move its eyes around is A. average B. weak C. excellent D. variable Question 3: The word "conversely" is closest in meaning to A. contrarily B. inversely C. similarly D. alternatively Question 4: The word "undulate" is closest in meaning to which of the following? A. sway B. leap C. flutter D. flap Question 5: According to the passage, fish such as plaice A. have distorted heads B. live near the surface C. have difficulties in swimming D. have poor eyesight Question 6: The phrase "hugging the contours" in line 1 means A. hiding in the sand at the bottom of the seA. B. lying still on the sea bottom. C. swimming close to the seabed D. floating just below the surface. Question 7: The passage is mainly concerned with A. symmetrical flatfish B. evolution of flatfish C. different types of flatfish D. bony flatfish Question 8: It can be inferred from the passage that horizontal symmetrical fish: A. have one eye each side of the head B. have eyes that move around the head C. have one eye underneath the head D. have two eyes on top of the head Question 9: In lines 2→ 6, the author mentions skates and rays as examples of fish that Trang2/6 – M· ®Ò 628 A. have spread horizontally B. resemble sharks C. become asymmetrical D. appear to fly Question 10: It can be inferred from the passage that the early life of a flatfish is A. often confusing B. pretty normal C. very difficult D. full of danger. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 11 to 20. History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures – called 'synchronized sound' – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as sound‘ system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could be come unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence. In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization. nor feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us 'talking pictures'.
