(ID: 92232)Read the following passage and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each for the question from 46 to 55

The Globe Theater, where most of Shakeseare’s plays were staged and performed, was located in London Cuthbert and Richard Burbage built the theater in 1599 with materials left over from the construction of London’s first playhouse, the Theate They constructed the Globe

on the south side of the Thames River in the little town of Southwark and counted on making the

theater a draw for the locals Little is known about the architectural design of the theater except

what can be deduced from maps and the layout of the plays presented there It appears that the Globe was either round or polygonal on the outside but most likely round on the inside In

keeping with the contemporary imitations of Roman government building, its roof was most

probably shaped as a crude dome It can be further deduced that the structure was decorated with

Trang 4

pediments, arches, columns, and ornate staircases with carvings of shells, feathers, and cupids

The size of its audience is projected at as many as 3,000 spectators both in the amphitheater and

in the balcony The Globe burned down in 1613; it was rebuilt on the same foundation a year later, but its external walls were curved at an angle different from that of the original The theater was built hastily, and evidently safety was not a top priority for either the engineer or the company After several nearly fatal accidents, the Globe was torn down for good in 1644

(ID : 93549) Read the following passage and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each for the question from 46 to 55

Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the Earth’s waters that are caused the Moon’s and Sun’s forces of gravity acting on the Earth It is important to distinguish natural tidal phenomena from huge tsunamis , with the latter being caused by earthquakes and undersea volcanic eruptions

The Moon is a main factor controlling ordinary tides At the location on the Earth closest to the Moon ,

it exerts a powerful gravitational pull on the water The resulting rise in the water produces higher tides The water on the side of the Earth farthest away from the Moon also gets pulled by this lunar gravity , but not as strongly The Earth itself has its own gravitational force that is constantly pulling waters downward , which is why the oceans do not simply bulge out toward the Moon Ordinary tides usually feature high and low waters alternating in relation to the Earth’s rotation Most shores around the world have high waters and two low waters for each day, which last about 24 hours and 50 minutes The difference in height between the high water and low water is called the range of tide, and it can be quite dramatic in narrower bays Canada’s bays of Fundy , for example , commonly experiences the world’s most extreme tidal ranges , with daily differences of the 16 metres

Two other types of tides are influenced by the Sun , which is much farther away from the Earth and exerts less than half of the Moon’s gravitational force When the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are directly in line , the solar and lunar gravitational forces add up to produce higher spring tides The range

of spring tides is intensified , with higher water marks and lower low water marks However , when the Moon is in the first or third quarter , it is at a 90-degree angle with the Sun in relation to the Earth The opposing solar and lunar forces partially cancel each other out , and the result is a lower tide This is called a neap tide , which comes twice a month and has lower high water marks and higher low water marks The range of neap tides is minimum

Some tides do not occur over water at all The solid body of the Earth has slight elasticity, so lunar and solar gravity cause it to stretch very subtly These changes in the Earth’s shape, although imperceptible to humans, are known as Earth tides Another tidal phenomenon, atmospheric tides, is caused by the Sun’s heating of the Earth’s atmosphere Like ordinary tides, they usually occur over 12-hour periods

31 What is the main idea of the passage ?

A Tides are influenced more by Moon than by the Sun

B Tides are a natural phenomenon but are not natural disaster

C Tides always occur over water and are usually predictable

D Tidies are a phenomenon mainly caused by forces of gravity

32 Why does the author mention tsunamis in the passage ?

A To explain that not all tides are caused by gravity

B To give an example of an extreme tidal phenomenon

Trang 10

C To show that they are not related to natural tides

D To suggest that more categories for tides area needed

33 The word exerts in paragraph 2 is closet in meaning to

A mixes with B bring into use C infers from D connects with

34 The word it in paragraph 2 refers to

A height B the high water C the low water D the range of tide

35 What can be inferred about Canada’s Bay of Fundy ?

A It may experience tsunamis because of its extreme tides

B It may have a longer tide cycle because of its wide variations

C It may be very narrow because it has wide tidal variations

D It may be influenced more by gravity than other places

36 The word imperceptible in the last paragraph could best be replace by

A not noticeable B difficult to explain

C not generally D not able to be said

37 According to paragraph 3 , it is true that

A Neap tides are characterised by lower water during the low tide period

B Spring tides occur when the Moon is in first and the third quarter

C The Sun has more gravitational force than the Moon because of it larger size

D The range of tide is greater in spring tides than in ordinary tides

38 What is true about the Moon’s gravitational force ?

A It pulls water on the far side of the Earth more strongly

B It is more than twice as powerful as that of the Sun

C It has reduced gravity when it is lined up with the Sun and the Earth

D Its force is strongest when it is located at 90 degrees to the Earth

39 Besides ordinary tides , how many other types of tide are mentioned in the passage ?

A two B three C four D five

40 Which of the following does not relate to Ordinary Tides ?

A Receiving greatest influence from the Moon

B Influenced by the Sun’s position relative to the Moon

C Taking turns the higher and lower water relating to the Earth’s rotation

D Having the striking range of tide in narrower bays

After a year of training as a military cadet, Lindbergh completed his program at the Brooks and Kelly airfieds at the top of his class and earned the rank of captain Robertson Aircraft Corporation of St Louis, Missouri, offered him employment as a mail pilot to run the routes between St Louis and Chicago, and Lindbergh retained his positon with the company until 1927 During this period, he set out to win the Raymond B Orteig prize of $25,000 to be awarded to the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to Paris This ambition would irreversibly change his life and accord him a prominent place in the history of aviation

Embarking on the greatest adventure of his time, Lindbergh left Roosevelt Field at 7:52 A.M on May 20, 1927, and landed at Le Bourget Field at 5:24 P.M the next day Fearing that he would be unknown when he arrived, Lindbergh carried letters of introduction to dignitaries in Paris, but when his plane came to a stop, he was overwhelmed by tremendous welcoming crowds He was decorated in France, Great Britain, and Belgium, and President Coolidge sent a specially designated cruiser, the Memphis, to bring him back, His accomplishments in aeronautics brought him more medals and awards than had ever been received by any other person in private life

(ID : 74628) Read the following passage, and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate

the correct answer to each question

Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and habitats has been a growing appreciation of the importance of biological diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and human well-being Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated with tropical rain-forest habitats Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of richness of life.(41)

An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet's dominant, most-distinctive feature

― the ocean Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes gets in the way of truly examining global issues Seen from far away, it is easy to realize that landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth's surface Given that two- thirds of the Earth's surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species

The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world's rain forests does not seem uprising, considering the huge numbers of insects that comprise the bulk of the species.- (45) One scientist found many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest While every species is different from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably the sea Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some representation there.(47)

To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small Every spoonful

of ocean water contains life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacterial cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more (48)

Câu 41: What is the main point of the passage?

A Humans are destroying thousands of species B There are thousands of insect species

C The sea is even richer in life than the rain forests D Coral reefs are similar to rain forests

the correct answer to each question

What geologists call the Basin and Range Province in the United States roughly coincides in its northern portions with the geographic province known as the Great Basin (51)The Great Basin is hemmed in

on the west by the Sierra Nevada and on the east Line by the Rocky Mountains; it has no outlet to the sea.(52) The prevailing winds in the Great Basin are from the west Warm, moist air from the Pacific Ocean is forced upward as it crosses the Sierra Nevada At the higher altitudes it cools and the moisture it carries is precipitated

as rain or snow on the western slopes of the mountains That which reaches the Basin is air wrung dry of moisture(54) What little water falls there as rain or snow, mostly in the winter months, evaporates on the broad, flat desert floors It is, therefore, an environment in which organisms battle for survival Along the rare watercourses, cottonwoods and willows eke out a sparse existence In the upland ranges, pinion pines and junipers struggle to hold their own (56)

But the Great Basin has not always been so arid Many of its dry, closed depressions were once filled with water Owens Valley, Panamint Valley, and Death Valley were once a string of interconnected lakes.(57) The two largest of the ancient lakes of the Great Basin were Lake Lahontan and Lake Bonneville The Great Salt Lake is all that remains of the latter, and Pyramid Lake is one of the last briny remnants of the former There seem to have been several periods within the last tens of thousands of years when water accumulated in these basins The rise and fall of the lakes were undoubtedly linked to the advances and retreats of the great ice sheets that covered much of the northern part of the North American continent during those times Climatic changes during the Ice Ages sometimes brought cooler, wetter weather to mid latitude deserts worldwide, including those of the Great Basin(60) The broken valleys of the Great Basin provided ready receptacles for this moisture

Câu 51: What is the geographical relationship between the Basin and Range Province and the Great Basin?

A The Great Basin is west of the Basin and Range Province

B The Great Basin is larger than the Basin and Range Province

Trang 18

C The Great Basin is in the northern part of the Basin and Range Province

D The Great Basin is mountainous; the Basin and Range Province is flat desert

Câu 52: According to the passage, what does the Great Basin lack?

A Snow B Dry air C Winds from the west D Access to the ocean

Câu 53: The word "prevailing" is closest in meaning to

A most frequent B occasional C gentle D most dangerous

Câu 54: It can be inferred that the climate in the Great Basin is dry because

A the weather patterns are so turbulent

B the altitude prevents precipitation

C the winds are not strong enough to carry moisture

D precipitation falls in the nearby mountains

Câu 55: The word "it" refers to

Câu 56: Why does the author mention cottonwoods and willows?

A To demonstrate that certain trees require a little of water

B To give examples of trees that are able to survive in a difficult environment

C To show the beauty of the landscape of the Great Basin

D To assert that there are more living organisms in the Great Basin than there used to be

Câu 57: Why does the author mention Owens Valley, Panamint Valley, and Death Valley in the second

paragraph?

A To explain their geographical formation

B To give examples of depressions that once contained water

C To compare the characteristics of the valleys with the characteristics of the lakes

D To explain what the Great Basin is like today

Câu 58: The words "the former" refer to

A Lake Bonneville B Lake Lahontan C the Great Salt Lake D Pyramid Lake

Câu 59: The word "accumulated" is closest in meaning to

Câu 60: According to the passage, the Ice Ages often brought about

A desert formation B warmer climates C broken valleys D wetter weather
