Question 30: Hundred of scientists have been involved in the research.

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it theability to do outstandingly well Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is

simply something a person is born with Others, however, argue that the potential for great

achievement can be develop The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes

It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase

a child’s ability to do well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing

and opportunities As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.”

Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identicaltwins that were separated shortly birth and brought up by different parents They found thatachievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment

One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normalupbringing, and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportiveparents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting outwith the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better

This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more favorable the

environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no linkbetween intelligence and socioeconomic level of a child’s family In other words, it does not matterhow poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect the intelligence

Gifted people can not be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them.One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier thanordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians thenneeded at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable ofattaining

People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:

- Marry an intelligent person

- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents

- Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard

- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for achild who wants to become an outstanding musician

Question 55: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that .

A different twins generally have different levels of ability

B ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement

C intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability

D ability depends both on intelligence and environment

Question 56: Scientists chose twins for their study because .

A they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence

B they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing

C they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities

D each twin has the same environment as his/ her twin

Question 57: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?

A They practice playing their instruments for many years

B They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic

C They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas

D Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured

Question 58: The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow .

A only their interests in computer gamesB only their interests in musical instruments

C their own interests D their parents’ interests

Question 59: When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid .

A letting them play their own way B starting their education at an early age

C pushing their children too hard D permitting them to follow their own interests

Question 60: The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the

passage means that in order to become a genius,

A you need to have good health and good nourishment

B you need intelligence and you need to develop it

C you should try to move quickly and efficiently.

D you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard

Question 61: The word “favorable” in the passage mostly mean .

A “of high quality or an acceptable standard”

B “under the control or in the power of somebody else”

C “good for someone and making him/ her likely to be successful”

D “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to the other people”

Question 62: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT .

A a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents

B studying different twins is useful scientific procedure

C educational development depends completely on economic well-being

D to become successful, a child need both native intelligence and development

Question 63: The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires .

A parental support and encouragement B an expensive education

C wealthy and loving parents D good musical instruments

Question 64: The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to .

A other people B other scientists C other geniuses D other children

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classicaland medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant

reading aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.

One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because readingaloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development ofsilent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly becausethe tasks themselves changed in character.

The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers Asthe number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was somereduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so camethe flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages andoffices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers

Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should

be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such asnewspapers was in some way mentally weakening Indeed, this argument remains with us still ineducation However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced

by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other.

By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books

and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader The social,

cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied

Question 55: Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because .

A attracting attention B for everybody’s use C most preferable D widely used

Question 57: The development of silent reading during the last century indicated .

A an increase in the number of books B an increase in the average age of readers

C a change in the status of literate people D a change in the nature of reading

Question 58: Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of .

A the decreasing need to read aloud B the development of libraries

C the increase in literacy D the decreasing number of listeners

Question 59: It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an indication of .

A a decline of standards of literacy B a change in the readers’ interest

C an improvement of printing techniques D an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes

Question 60: The phrase “a specialised readership” in paragraph 4 mostly means “ ”.

A a status for readers specialised in mass media

B a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge

C a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge

D a reading volume for particular professionals

Question 61: The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means “a person who

”.

A takes part in an audition B is good at public speaking

C is interested in spoken language D practises reading to an audience

Question 62: All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy culture EXCEPT .

A the inappropriate reading skills B the printed mass media

C the diversity of reading materials D the specialised readership

Question 63: Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A Reading aloud was more common in the past than it is today.

B The decline of reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect.

C The change in reading habits was partly due to the social, cultural and technological changes.

A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference.Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents They foundevidence that parents talk very differently to their son than they do to their daughters Thestartling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls Specifically, whenparents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details There isalso far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons

The Planets of Jupiter

The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s,contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined It is thought to be agaseous and fluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter

might have attained internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reactions,

and it would have flamed as a star in its own right Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a

low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly

of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets.Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally,hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, whichexist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquidwith the properties of a metal Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might

be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth

Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours As a result, its clouds, which are composedlargely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright

bands that circle the planet at different speeds in different latitudes Jupiter’s puzzling Great

Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the Southern Hemisphere Scientists speculate it might be

a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lastsfor hundreds of years

Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun Perhaps this is primeval heat or beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet Another star

like characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of theSolar System, decrease in density with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icymoons farther away If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star,Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, mightcontain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System

reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated.

Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in

instead prepare themselves for their life’s work It was in the face of this public sentiment

that educational reformers set about their task Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated As

Superintendent (quản lí) of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system.

to help in a regular way

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classicaland medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading

aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace One should be wary,

however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction toothers Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that

it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed incharacter The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers Asthe number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was somereduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so camethe flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages andoffices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers Towards the end of the century,there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treatedrespectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentallyweakening Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, theold shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by

books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other By the end of the twentieth century,

students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were

inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader The social, cultural and technological changes in

the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied

Question 55: Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because .

A people relied on reading for entertainment

B silent reading had not been discovered

C there were few places available for private reading

D few people could read to themselves

Question 57: The development of silent reading during the last century indicated .

Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic miles of water From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean More than 24,000 cubic miles

of rain descend annually upon the continents This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams,

springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence

The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent

Another outstanding characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all

liquids and solids except ammonia This characteristic enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes In addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid It is this characteristic that helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially exploited Solar evaporation of salt is widely practiced, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast
