Trang 5Activity 3: Read the passage and choose the best answer for the questions following (2.0 points) The first six planets have been known to mankind for all of our recorded history (A) But the final three planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, are not visible in the night sky without the help of a telescope (B)
Their discovery had to wait until the invention of telescopes Uranus, the seventh planet, was the first to
be discovered in 1781 by William Herschel (C) This proved to be an important breakthrough,
because by studying unexpected changes in the planet’s orbit, scientists could infer that it was being affected by the gravity of another, unknown planet That unknown planet proved to be Neptune It was
found in 1846 with the help of calculation based on the abnormalities in Uranus’ orbit, which told scientists where in the sky to look for Neptune The discovery of these two planets proved to be relatively
easy because both Uranus and Neptune are gas giants, huge planets many times the size of the Earth
This made them relatively easy to find, even with the telescopes of the 18th and 19th centuries (D)
Finding the ninth planet, Pluto, proved to be a much harder task because it is not even as large as our moon, and it is over a thousand times more distant Again, the first clues to the planet’s existence came from the orbits of other planets After studying Neptune, it did not seem that it could explain all the changes in the orbit of Uranus Scientists guessed there was another planet out there but they could not find it They labeled the missing planet “Planet X.” The first serious attempt to find Planet X came in
1915, when astronomer Percival Lowell made it his mission to find the planet Lowell spent over a year studying the night sky He discovered many other objects, including over 700 new stars But he did not find the missing planet and died a disappointed man
Success came in 1930, when Clyde Tombaugh used a new method to search for the planet He took thousands of pictures of the night sky Then he searched for any unknown objects that were moving against the background of the stars, which remain in the same place in the night sky Using this method he found a small point of light, which turned out to be Pluto
1 The word “This” in the passage refers to _
A The invention of the telescope B The discovery of Uranus
C The visibility of the final three planets D The discovery of gravity
2 According to paragraph 1, why was the discovery of Uranus important?
A It made scientists want to look for other planets
B It indirectly led to the discovery of Neptune and Pluto
C It helped scientists understand how orbits are affected by gravity
D It led to improvements in the quality of telescopes
3 The word breakthrough in the passage is closest in meaning to _
A advance B accident C experiment D task
4 The word abnormalities in the passage is closest in meaning to
A typical characteristics B unusual qualities
5 Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways of leave out essential
information
A The discovery of Neptune and Uranus was only possible because they are such huge planets
B The fact that Uranus and Neptune are such enormous planets made finding them a relatively simple task
C Huge gas giants like Uranus and Neptune are much easier to find than planets as small as the Earth
D It is easier to prove the existence of gas giants like Neptune and Uranus because they are so much larger than the Earth
6 According to the passage, what can be inferred about the telescopes?
A The first telescopes were invented by William Herschel
B They are required to view most of the planets in the night sky
C The telescopes of the 18th and 19th centuries were not very powerful
D They are less useful than gravity in finding new planets
Trang 67 Why does the author discuss the Earth’s moon in paragraph 2?
A To better explain the orbit of Pluto
B To give an example of an object that is easily visible
C To suggest there are many similarities between the moon and Pluto
D To better illustrate why Pluto was so hard to find
8 According to the passage, all of the following are true of Pluto EXCEPT _
A it was discovered accidentally
B it was the last planet to be discovered
C it was discovered by tracking its motion
D it was discovered using new methods of searching for planets
9 Look at the four squares [] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage
While early civilizations may not have understood that these objects were planets, they were clearly visible in the sky
Where would the sentence best fit?
10 According to the passage, all of the following are true of Uranus EXCEPT
C First discovered in 1781 D Most distant planet
Activity 4: You are going to read a magazine article about a mountain in Africa Five sentences have
been removed from the article Choose from the sentences A-F the one which fits each gap There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use (1.0 point)
A Those who do so will be rewarded by what they see
B As a result of this, trekkers will go through several different climates in the course
of only five or six days
C Even so, surprisingly few people make it all the way there
D This is the most difficult path to follow
E If you’d like to join them, it’s essential to select the route that is most appropriate for you
F At such times, that kind of beauty appears almost supernatural
On a clear day Mount Kilimanjaro is visible from Nairobi However, when the sun is low and
the clouds light, the enormous, snow-capped peak appears to be floating in space 1
Kilimanjaro is 5895m above sea level and is on the equator 2 They’ll start in
Tropical temperatures, go through milder weather to high alpine desert and then permanently snow-capped summits
Despite its tremendous altitude, it is possible to get to the top without any technical climbing ability With its accessible slopes, abundance of porters and relatively mild climate, the trek to
the summit is considered a moderately easy climb in mountaineering circles 3
The ascent is recognised as one of the great walks of the world by the climbers who complete
it 4 They will take home memories of colourful scenery, stunning natural
beauty, warm and friendly locals and a unique sense of isolation This last impression is reinforced when they realized that until more than 100 years ago, nobody had ever climbed this vast volcano
Ever since Hans Meyer’s first ascent in 1889, more and more people have tacked the mountain
5 Be aware of the scenic variety, remoteness and popularity of each option, but
most importantly, be aware of the degree of difficulty The ascent is a gruelling but wonderful trek with magnificent views, unmatched in Africa Whichever route you opt for, to make the most of it walk slowly with your eyes open Then you’ll come home with something far more valuable and important than a summit certificate
