Science as we know it today can be said to have started with the ancient Greeks, with the likes of Herodotus, Aristotle and Theophrastus, all of whom lived from 300 to 500 years before Christ. Their findings were still valid two millenniums later, when science was reborn with the Renaissance following the Dark Ages when after the fall of Rome, roughly 1000 years after the Greeks created their scientific theories, science and learning were forgotten during the ravages of war and disease which enveloped the whole of the civilized world. Geology, even mineralogy, can be traced back to the Greeks. They recognized that the position of the land and sea had changed and that a great length of time had been necessary for these changes. They believed the world was round, that the orbits of planets were also circular and they noticed that heavy objects fell faster than light ones. So, more sciences than one can be said to have begun with the Greeks. Of course, all their learning might have disappeared for good during the six or seven centuries of the Dark Ages. But the Arabs were also interested in science, and they were at the edge of the Dark Ages, so they were able to preserve the findings of the Greeks, translating some of their work and even building on it. When science finally took root again in the Middle Ages it was based very much on the ideas and work of the Greeks. Question 68. What's the main point the author is making in this passage? A. Much of Greek science was lost in the Dark Ages. B. The Arabs copied the Greek ideas. C. Much of modern science is based on the work of the ancient Greeks. D. The findings of the ancient Greeks were re-found a millenium later. Question 69. According to the passage what was the reason science had to make a recovery? A. The Renaissance. B. The Arabs. C. The Roman Empire. D. The Dark Ages. Question 70. According to the passage which of the following was NOT among the findings made by the Greeks? A. The changed position of the land and the sea. B. The relation of the moon to the earth. C. The shape of the earth. D. The way the planets went round the earth. Question 71. Why were the Arabs able to preserve the findings of the Greeks? A. They were not so badly affected by the Dark Ages. B. They were not a part of the Roman Empire. C. They made their own discoveries. Trang 5- Đề thi thử 10-05-2013 – By Nguyễn Hoàng Đô- GL high school. D. They liked copying other people's work. Question 72. What might the next part of the lecture be about? A. Science as we know it today. B. Arab scientists and science. C. The development of science in the Middle Ages. D. Other scientific findings. A major challenge to management in the late 1970s and early 1980s was the need to increase the productivity of American business. Before that, the productivity growth rate of US industry had begun to fall behind Japan and even Western Europe. If the country's economy was to go forward a radical change in productivity was called for. But to return to the high productivity growth rate of the years when the US was still the world leader required many changes and solutions to problems. Management, for a start, had to be revitalized, re- thought out. The energy problem, both the shortage and the high price, had to be solved. Business operations as a whole had to be improved. Above all, efficiency, basically the efficiency of the management since it directly affects the efficiency of the labor force, had to be improved. This meant better efficiency in employing all the necessary resources, whether they be natural, human or financial. Question 73. What is the main idea of the passage? A.
