pollen with which they make honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which
they land Many fruits and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom
Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with storage space for the honey The different types of bees each perform a unique function The worker bee carries nectar to hive in a special stomach called a honey stomach Other workers make beeswax and shape it into a
honeycomb, which is a waterproof mass of six-sided compartments, or cells The queen lays eggs in completed cells As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more eggs
All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen The male honeybees are called drones; they do no work and cannot sting They are developed from unfertilized eggs, and their only job is to impregnate a queen The queen must be fertilized in order to lay more worker eggs During the season when less honey is available and the drone is of no further use, the workers block the drones from eating the honey so that they will starve to death

For a time, the Hubble telescope was the brunt of jokes and subject to the wrath of those who believed the
U.S government had spent too much money on space projects that served no valid purpose The Hubble was sent into orbit with a satellite by the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990 amid huge hype and
Trang 6expectation Yet after it was in position, it simply did not work Because the primary mirror was
misshapen It was not until 1993 that the crew of the Shuttle Endeavor arrived like roadside mechanics, opened the hatch that was installed for the purpose, and replaced the defective mirror with a good one Suddenly, all that had originally been expected came true The Hubble telescope was indeed the “window
on the universe”, as it had originally been dubbed When you look deep into space, you are actually
looking back through time, because even though light travels at 186,000 miles a second, it requires time to get from one place to another In fact, it is said that in some cases, the Hubble telescope is looking back eleven billion years to see galaxies already forming The distant galaxies are speeding away from Earth, some travelling at the speech of light
Hubble has viewed exploding stars such as the Eta Carinae, which clearly displayed clouds of gas and dust
billowing outward from its poles at 1.5 million miles an hour Prior to Hubble, it was visible from
traditional telescopes on Earth, but its details were not ascertainable But now, the evidence of the
explosion is obvious The star still burns five million times brighter than the Sun and illuminates clouds from the inside
Hubble has also provided a close look at black holes, which are described as comic drains Gas and dust swirl around the drain and are slowly sucked in by the incredible gravity It has also looked into an area that looked empty to the naked eye and, within a region the size of a grain of sand, located layer upon layer of galaxies, with each galaxy consisting of billions of stars
The Hubble telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, a 1920s astronomer who developed a formula that expresses the proportional relationship of distances between clusters of galaxies and the speeds at which they travel Astronomers use star known as Cepheid variables to measure distances in space These stars dim and brighten from time to time, and they are photographed over time and charted All the discoveries made by Hubble have allowed astronomers to learn more about the formation of early galaxies
66 The author states that the Hubble was not always popular because
A people were afraid of what might be found
B many people believed space exploration was a waste of time
C it was defective for its first three years in space
D it was more expensive than most space shuttles
67 The word “brunt” in the first sentence is closest in meaning to
A subject
B expense
C contentment
D unhappiness
68 The author implies that at the time the Hubble was initially deployed from Earth
A there was little attention paid to it
B all attention was focused on the space shuttle, not the Hubble
C there was considerable excitement about the potential uses
D it was already known that the mirror was defective
69 The author implies that the satellite that carries the Hubble was specifically designed so that
A the known defective mirror could be replaced in space rather than on Earth
B maintenance could be done by travelling astronauts
C the Hubble could move easily
D the mirror could contract and expand
Trang 770 The author compares the astronauts of the Endeavor to
A astronomers
B scientists
C mechanics
D politicians
71 The author states that Edward Hubble
A developed the Hubble telescope
B was the first person to use the Hubble telescope
C developed a mathematical formula to measure speed and distances between galaxies
D was a politician who sponsored funding in Congress
72 The author states that
A when viewing a distant galaxy through the Hubble telescope, you are actually looking back in time
B the new mirror distorts the image
C the view from Hubble is not accurate, but it is interesting
D you cannot discern distance or time with any kind of accuracy
73 According to the passage, a Cepheid variable is

How a man uses money – makes it, saves it, and spends it – is perhaps one of the best test of practical wisdom Although money ought by no means to be regarded as the chief end of man's life, neither is it a trifling matter, to be held in philosophic contempt, representing as it does to so large an extent, the means
of physical comfort and social well-being Indeed, some of the finest qualities of human nature are
intimately related to the right use of money, such as generosity, honesty, justice, and self-sacrifice; as well
as the practical virtues of economy and providence On the other hand, there are their counterparts of
avarice, fraud, injustice, and selfishness, as displayed by inordinate lovers of gain; and the vices of
thriftlessness, extravagance, and improvidence, on the part of those who misuse and abuse the means
entrusted to them "So that," as is wisely observed by Henry Taylor in his thoughtful "Notes from Life," "a right measure and manner in getting, saving, spending, giving, taking, lending, borrowing, and
bequeathing, would almost argue a perfect man."
Comfort in worldly circumstances is a condition which every man is justified in striving to attain by all
worthy means It secures that physical satisfaction which is necessary for the cultivation of the better
part of his nature; and enables him to provide for those of his own household Nor ought the duty to be
any the less indifferent to us, that the respect which our fellow-men entertain for us in no slight degree depends upon the manner in which we exercise the opportunities which present themselves for our
honorable advancement in life The very effort required to be made to succeed in life with this object,
is of itself an education; stimulating a man's sense of self-respect, bringing out his practical qualities, and
disciplining him in the exercise of patience, perseverance, and such like virtues The provident and
careful man must necessarily be a thoughtful man, for he lives not merely for the present, but with
provident forecast makes arrangements for the future He must also be a temperate man, and exercise the
virtue of self-denial, than which nothing is so much calculated to give strength to the character John
Sterling says truly, that "the worst education which teaches self-denial, is better than the best which
teaches everything else, and not that." The Romans rightly employed the same word (virtus) to designate courage, which is in a physical sense what the other is in a moral; the highest virtue of all being victory over ourselves

Before the 1500’s the Western plains of North America were dominated by farmers One group, the Mandans, lived in the upper Missouri River country, primarily in present-day North Dakota They had
large villages of houses built close together The tight arrangement enabled the Mandans to protect
themselves more easily from the attacks of others who might seek to obtain some of the food these highly capable farmers stored from one year to the next
The women had primary responsibility for the fields They had to exercise considerable skill to
produce the desired results, for their northern location meant fleeting growing seasons Winter often lingered; autumn could be ushered in by severe frost For good measure, during the spring and summer, drought, heat, hail, grasshoppers, and other frustrations might await the wary grower
Under such conditions, Mandan women had to grow maize capable of weathering adversity They began as early as it appeared feasible to do so in the spring, clearing the land, using fire to clear stubble from the fields and then planting From this point until the first green corn could be harvested, the crop required labor and vigilance Harvesting proceeded in two stages In August the Mandans picked a smaller amount of the crop before it had matured fully This green corn was boiled, dried, and shelled,
with some of the maize slated for immediate consumption and the rest stored in animal-skin bags Later
in the fall, the people picked the rest of the corn They saved the best of the harvest for seeds or for trade, with the remainder eaten right away or stored for later use in underground reserves With appropriate
banking of the extra food, the Mandans protected themselves against the disaster of crop failure and
accompanying hunger
The women planted another staple, squash, about the first of June, and harvested it near the time of the green corn harvest After they picked it, they sliced it, dried it, and strung the slices before they stored them Once again, they saved the seed from the best of the year`s crop The Mandans also grew sunflowers and tobacco ; the latter was the particular task of the older men

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
A folk culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self sufficient group that is homogeneous
in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals Order is
maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are strong Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though
duties may differ between the sexes Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails
Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada Perhaps the nearest modern
Trang 22equivalent in Anglo-America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the
products and labor saving devices of the industrial age In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies still serve as
a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles The Amish's central religious concept of Demut, "humility", clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity Rarely do the
Amish marry outside their sect The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal
mechanism for maintaining order
By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and
constantly changing Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists,
leading to the establishment of many specialized professions Secular institutions, of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails Because of these contrasts, "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk" The
popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk-made
objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner
66 What does the passage mainly discuss?
A Two decades in modern society
B The characteristics of "folk" and "popular" societies
C The influence of industrial technology

D Each person develops one specialized skill
69 What does the author imply about the United States and Canada?
A They value folk cultures
B They have no social classes
C They have popular cultures
D They do not value individualism
70 The phrase “largely renounces" in lines 9-10 is closest in meaning to
A loudly declares B greatly modifies C generally rejects D often criticizes
71 What is the main source of order in Amish society?
A The religion B The economy C The clan structure D The government
72 Which of the following statements about Amish beliefs does the passage support?
A A variety of religious practices is tolerated
B Individualism and competition are important
C Premodern technology is preferred
D People are defined according to their class
73 Which of the following would probably NOT be found in a folk culture?
A A carpenter B A farmer C A banker D A weaver
74 The word "prevails" in line 20 is closest in meaning to
Trang 23A develops B provides C dominates D invests

B The light of Istanbul were visible for two hours before we reached the city
