When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish The exact causes of a species’ death vary from situation to situation Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt Food Resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time – a mass extinction One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago When approximately 95 percent of all species died, mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not living in the oceans Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have tended to be more intense every 26 million years This periodic extinction might be due to intersection of the Earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative Some researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason A species’ survival may have nothing to with its ability or inability to adapt If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events Question 21 The word “it” in line refers to A environment B species C extinction D 99 percent Question 22 The word “ultimately” in line is closest in meaning to A exceptionally B dramatically C eventually D unfortunately Question 23 What does the author say in paragraph regarding most species in Earth’s history? A They have remained basically unchanged from their original forms B They have been able to adapt to ecological changes C They have caused rapid change in the environment D They are no longer in existence Question 24 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph as resulting from rapid ecological change? A Temperature changes B Availability of food resources C Introduction of new species D Competition among species Question 25 The word “demise” in line 10 is closest in meaning to A change B recovery C help D death Question 26 Why is “plankton” mentioned in line 14? A To demonstrate the interdependence of different species B To emphasize the importance of food resources in preventing mass extinction C To illustrate a comparison between organisms that live on the land and those that live in the ocean D To point out that certain species could never become extinct Question 27 According to paragraph 2, evidence from fossils suggests that A extinction of species has occurred from time to time throughout Earth’s history B extinctions on Earth have generally been massive C there has been only one mass extinction in Earth’s history D dinosaurs became extinct much earlier than scientists originally believed Question 28 The word “finding” in line 16 is closest in meaning to A published information B research method C ongoing experiment D scientific discovery Question 29 Which of the following can be inferred from the theory of periodic extinction mentioned in paragraph 3? MOBILE: 0983621978 – PAGE: WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/ENCI.NGUYETCA A Many scientists could be expected to disagree with it B Evidence to support the theory has recently been found C The theory is no longer seriously considered D Most scientists believe the theory to be accurate Question 30 In paragraph 3, the author makes which of the following statements about a species’ survival? A It reflects the interrelationship of many species B It may depend on chance events C It does not vary greatly from species to species D It is associated with astronomical conditions VI Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to 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 developed 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 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 identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement 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 normal upbringing, and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting out with 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 link between intelligence and socioeconomic level of a child’s family In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect the intelligence Gifted people cannot 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 than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining 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 a child who wants to become an outstanding musician Question 31 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 32 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 33 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 MOBILE: 0983621978 – PAGE: WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/ENCI.NGUYETCA Question 34 The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow A only their interests in computer games B their own interests C only their interests in musical instruments D their parents’ interests Question 35 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 36 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 37 The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means 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 38 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 39 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 40 The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to A other people B other scientists C other geniuses D other children THE END MOBILE: 0983621978 – PAGE: WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/ENCI.NGUYETCA
