Bees, classified into over 10,000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world except the northernmost and southernmost regions. One commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that produces honey and wax. Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other products, and they use the honey as a substance that people eat to maintain life and growth. While gathering the nectar and 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. 36.

The Hubble was sent into orbit with a satellite by the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990 amid huge hype and Khóa hc LTH KIT-2: Môn Ting Anh (Cô Nguyn Ngc Anh) thi s 01 Hocmai.vn – Ngôi trng chung ca hc trò Vit Tng đài t vn: 1900 58-58-12 - Trang | 6 - expectation. 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.

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 Khóa hc LTH KIT-2: Môn Ting Anh (Cô Nguyn Ngc Anh) thi s 01 Hocmai.vn – Ngôi trng chung ca hc trò Vit Tng đài t vn: 1900 58-58-12 - Trang | 7 - 70.
