Trang 4READING
1 Read the passage and choose the best answer to the questions that
follow.
If you were to stop people in the street and ask them to name a ship that had been sunk, it is likely that nearly all of them would say the Titanic For the sinking of the Titanic was, if not the most tragic, certainly the most famous sea disaster in the history of ocean travel
The Titanic was built as a luxury liner, intended to be the fastest in the world, and a great deal of publicity had surrounded it The last point probably explains why so many important people from all walks of life were on the boat when it went down
The Titanic was on its maiden voyage to America in 1912 when it struck an iceberg and sank Of its 2,300 passengers, more than two-thirds were drowned
Because the Titanic was thought to be virtually unsinkable, no one was prepared for the tragedy There was total panic as very few of the passengers had bothered to learn the necessary drill in the event of trouble There was severe shortage of life boats and those that were launched still half-empty The one point of calm was to be found in the ballroom where the band carried
on playing right to the very end
What makes the sinking of the Titanic even more tragic is the fact that warnings of icebergs had been sent, yet the liner was still continuing at full speed In addition, one ship was only ten miles away but did not receive the distress signal
One good thing did, however, result from the disaster The whole question
of safety at sea was looked into, resulting in much better safety measures, including stricter lifeboat regulations and establishment of an iceberg patrol
1 The sinking of the Titanic was _
a the most tragic sea disaster b the most historic sea disaster
c the most famous sea disaster d the most great sea disaster
2 Why were so many important people on board?
a The Titanic had received a lot of publicity
b The Titanic was a luxury liner
c It was the fastest liner in the world
d They wanted to go to America
3 The lifeboats were _
4 The chances of disaster were increased because _
a no warning had been sent b the dance band was playing too
Trang 5c the Titanic was travelling too fast d there were no distress calls
5 The positive result of the disaster was that _
a a full inquiry was made
b a programme of iceberg destruction was started
c lifeboats were made larger
d sea travel was safer
2 Read the passage and the questions or unfinished sentences Then
choose the answer (A, B, C, or D) that you think fits best (10 pts)
PAPER Paper is everywhere We use it for homework, money, checks, books, letters, wallpaper, and greeting cards We have paper towels, napkins plates, cups, and tissues We print the news every day on newspaper Our history and knowledge is written on paper Without paper, our lives would be completely different
From the very beginning of time, people have tried to record their thoughts and lives The earliest humans drew pictures on cave walls Later, people used large pieces of clay to write on Almost 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians
wrote on pieces of plants called papyrus Papyrus was used throughout the
ancient world of the Mediterranean for thousands of years Eventually it was replaced by parchment Parchment was made from animal skins It was stronger and lasted longer than any other material
The Chinese made the first real paper in the year A.D 105 They mixed tree bark and small pieces of old cloth with water They used a screen to remove the thin, wet piece of paper Then they let the paper dry in the sun The Chinese kept papermaking a secret until after 751, in that year there was
a war between the Chinese and the Muslims Many Chinese papermakers were taken away from China to live in Muslim countries The art of papermaking soon spread throughout the Muslim world Finally, by the end
of the twelfth century, papermaking reached Europe The first paper made in Europe was in Spain in 1151
The first important improvement on the Chinese method of papermaking was in France in 1798 A man named Nicholas Louis Robert invented a machine for making paper His machine could make paper much faster than one person could by hand However, his machine was not very successful About ten years later an Englishman improved on Robert’s machine and began producing paper
The most important improvement in papermaking also happened in France
A scientist observed a wasp making its nest The wasp chewed up pieces of wood, mixed it with the chemicals in its mouth, and made a paper nest The scientist realized that people could make paper from wood, too Finally, a
Trang 6machine was invented for grinding wood into pulp to use for making paper Today, the principal ingredient in paper is wood pulp It is made by machine There are also other kinds of paper made from rice, wheat, cotton, corn, and other plants Paper from wood pulp is the most common Canada and the United States are the world leaders in paper production, due in part to the quantity, of wood that is available in the forests of these two countries
Because paper is made of wood, many people are becoming concerned that too many trees are being chopped down every year in order to produce paper Trees are an important part of the environment As a result, many companies that produce paper are using old paper instead of new wood pulp to make paper This method of using old products again instead of simply throwing them away is called recycling Recycling paper helps reduce the number of trees that are used every year Many people also try to use less paper in their daily lives They use both sides of a sheet of paper instead of just one They use cloth handkerchiefs instead of paper tissues There are also special containers in many schools and public places where people can put used paper instead of throwing it into the garbage can Then this paper is collected
to be recycled
Whether we use a little or a lot, paper has an important place in our lives The books we read and write are made of paper Our history and scientific inventions have all been recorded on paper This, however, is changing Other methods of storing information are becoming common Computers can store an enormous amount of information in a much smaller space Computer faxes, electronic mail, and the Internet are only three examples of technology that have replaced paper, Who knows, perhaps one day people will not use paper to write at all!
