perhaps we not realize just how useful this discovery has been Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity An electric current can be made with equal ease (thanh thản) to heat a huge mass of molten (nóng chảy) metal in a furnace(lò nung), or to boil a jug (bình, lọ) for a cup of coffee Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed (khai thác) to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently We use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels Question 41: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to A suggest that electricity should be

A Brain – human’s most complex part of the body B Brain’s main function C An overview of the most complex part of the body – Brain D The brain’s complex operation Question 37 It can be inferred from the passage that: A Jellyfish and starfish not have brain B The number of neurons in the cortex is about 15 – 33 billion, irrespective of age and gender C The sponge has brain but not nervous system D Neurons communicate with one another by targeting themselves to specific recipient cells Question 38 The word “linked” in the 2nd paragraph could be best replaced by: A chained B connected C bundled D interfered Question 39 Which the following is mentioned in the passage? A Sponges, which have no central nervous system, are capable of coordinated body contractions and locomotion B All animals have brain protected in skull C cm3 in cerebral cortex contains about 1,000,000,000 synapses D Neural circuitry in spinal cord can control even complex response to stimuli from external environment Question 40 The word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refers to: A the brain B the action of the brain C response D hormones and neurotransmitters Question 41 Which of the following is impossible without the brain? A extracting information from the environment and acting in response to it B generating reflex responses as well as simple motor patterns such as swimming or walking C control behavior on the basis of complex sensory input which requires the information-integrating capabilities D coordinated body contractions and even locomotion Question 42 The word “decipher” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to: A decode B devalued C observe D distract Question 43 Methods of observation such as EEG recording and functional brain imaging tell us: A how individual cells give rise to complex operations is unknown B the works of brain are highly organized C single unit recording can resolve the activity of single neurons D nothing Question 44 The word “complex” in the 2nd paragraph can be

answer to each of the following questions The Fukushima I nuclear accidents are a series of ongoing equipment failures and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, following the 9.0 magnitude Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011 The plant comprises six separate boiling water reactors maintained by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) This accident is the largest of the 2011 Japanese nuclear accidents arising from the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and experts consider it to be the second largest nuclear accident after the Chernobyl disaster, but more complex as all reactors are involved At the time of the quake, reactor had been de-fueled while and were in cold shutdown for planned maintenance The remaining reactors shut down automatically after the earthquake, with emergency generators starting up to run the control electronics and water pumps needed to cool reactors The plant was protected by a seawall designed to withstand a 5.7 metres (19 ft) tsunami but not the 14-metre (46 ft) maximum wave which arrived 41–60 minutes after the earthquake The entire plant was flooded, including low-lying generators and electrical switchgear in reactor basements and external pumps for supplying cooling seawater The connection to the electrical grid was broken All power for cooling was lost and reactors started to overheat, due to natural decay of the fission products created before shutdown The flooding and earthquake damage hindered external assistance Evidence soon arose of partial core meltdown in reactors 1, 2, and 3; hydrogen explosions destroyed the upper cladding of the buildings housing reactors 1, 3, and 4; an explosion damaged the containment inside reactor 2; multiple fires broke out at reactor Despite being initially shutdown, reactors and began to overheat Fuel rods stored in pools in each reactor building began to overheat as water levels in the pools dropped Fears of radiation leaks led to a 20-kilometre (12 mi) radius evacuation around the plant while workers suffered radiation exposure and were temporarily evacuated at various times One generator at unit was restarted on 17 March allowing some cooling at units and which were least damaged Grid power was restored to parts of the plant on 20 March, but machinery for reactors through 4, damaged by floods, fires and explosions, remained inoperable Flooding with radioactive water through the basements of units 1–4 continues to prevent access to carry out repairs Measurements taken by the Japanese science ministry and education ministry in areas of northern Japan 30– 50 km from the plant showed radioactive caesium levels high enough to cause concern Food grown in the area was banned from sale It was suggested that worldwide measurements of iodine-131 and caesium-137 indicate that the releases from Fukushima are of the same order of magnitude as the releases of those isotopes from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986; Tokyo officials temporarily recommended that tap water should not be used to prepare food for infants Plutonium contamination has been detected in the soil at two sites in the plant Two workers hospitalized as a precaution on 25 March had been exposed to between 2000 and 6000 mSv of radiation at their ankles when standing in water in unit 12 Question 71 What is the main topic of the passage? A Japanese natural disaster – the nuclear power accident B Fukushima I nuclear accident – the largest nuclear power of all time C The nuclear power accident – Japanese catastrophe D The Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant Question 72 It can be inferred from the passage that: A The Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant is the world’s largest nuclear accident B The accident happened in the early part of the year 2011 C Chernobyl is the world’s largest and most complex nuclear accident D Reactor doesn’t involve in the accident Question 73 The word “ongoing” in the passage is closest in meaning to: A old-fashioned B onslaught C continuous D disastrous Question 74 The word “withstand” in the second paragraph is could be best replaced by: A stand B stand together C wrestle D strike Question 75 All of the following are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT: A The cause of the accident is the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami B The earthquake causes a great damage to Japan and the neighboring country C The tsunami struck the country after the earthquake had occurred approximately an hour D The reactor was barred from external assistance because of the flooding and earthquake damage Question 76 According to the passage, which of the followings is NOT true? A The plant suffered a 14-metre seawall B The highest wave was 46 ft in height C The reactor and started overheating though they were in cold shutdown for maintenance D The flood with water containing radioactivity made it impossible for the machinery to be repaired Question 77 According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred? A The Chernobyl disaster happened in the late 19th century B Food was banned from sale for fear that the country would run out of food C The people in Tokyo were advised not to use tap water to cook for children D Two workers were sent to hospital as they were exposed to radiation when standing in water in unit Question 78 The word “inoperable” in the passage could be best replaced by: A incompatible B impracticable C irrepressible D mysterious Question 79 When the earthquake occurred, how many plants were inactive?
