A The relationship between the ocean and the sun B The amount of sunlight reflected into space C A rise in global temperatures D The conditions that could lead to an ice age Question 57: Which of the following does the author NOT mention as a consequence of a large rise in global sea level? A The destruction of wetlands B The flooding of cities C A more diverse marine population D Severe storms Question 58: According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the Earth’s climate? A Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures cause the ice melt B The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too much carbon stored in the Earth’s crust C Rain causes carbon dioxide to be washed out of the atmosphere and into the ocean D An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in the warming of the climate Question 59 The word "beneficial" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to A calm B inviting C thoughtful D favorable Question 60 The word "massive" can be replaced to A wide B huge C dense D thick Question 61 It can be inferred from the passage that the development of agriculture A preceded the development of animal husbandry B withstood vast changes in the Earth’s climate C did not take place during an ice age D was unaffected by the greenhouse effect Question 62 The word “this” in the third paragraph refers to Page A man’s upsetting the equation B the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide C a volcanic eruption D the melting of the polar ice caps Question 63 The word “inhospitable” is closest in meaning to A imperfect B uninhabitable C unlikable D cruel Question 64 What is the main topic of the passage? A The possibility that the popular ice caps will melt B The coming of another ice age C Man’s effect on the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere D The climate of the Earth over the years SECTION B (2 points) I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it Write your answers on your answer sheet Question 1: The film star wore dark glasses so that no one would recognise him The film star avoided _ Question 2: She said” John, I’ll show you round my city when you’re here.” She promised _ Question 3: The demand was so great that they had to reprint the book immediately So great Question 4: I didn’t spend as much money as my friend did My friend _ Question 5: No one has used that door for 20 years That door _ II In about 140 words, write a paragraph about the measures of protecting endangered animals Write paragrph on your answer sheet Page KEY SECTION A Câu hỏi 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 Đáp án B A A D B B A C D B A B C D A A A B C C D C Câu hỏi 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 Đáp án D A C A A C C D D C A D C B B D A D C A B A Câu hỏi 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 Đáp án B C D A B A C B D B A D C D D B C A B A SECTION B Question 1: The film star avoided beeing recognised by wearing dark classes Question 2: She promised to show John round her city Question 3: So great was the demand that they had to reprint the book immediately Question 4: My friend spent more money than I did Question 5: That door hasn't been used for 20 years Page Page
