and they were endowed with gills for breathing underwater Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to life on land As amphibians, they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills But they never became completely free of the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the water to lay their eggs Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers appeared; these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals They were more completely converted for land dwelling, with bodies and biological activities far different from those of fish With these special adaptations, mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high mountains, often far removed from the sea 46 Of the animals with backbones, the first to appear were A mammals B fish C amphibians Hocmai.vn – Ngôi trường chung học trò Việt Tổng ñài tư vấn: 1900 58-58-12 D birds - Trang | - Khóa học Luyện ñề thi ðH-Cð môn Tiếng Anh – Thầy ðặng Văn Mạnh ðề số 09 47 Fish are suited to underwater life because of their……… A scales B gills C streamlines shape D All of the above are correct 48 In converting to land life, animals acquired… A eyes B lungs C tails D warm blood 49 The word “descendants” in line is closest in meaning to… A descenders B offspring C grandchildren D ancestors 50 The passage suggests that the first amphibians used their limbs to…… A swim B crawl C jump D run 51 An example of an amphibian’s incomplete adaptation to land life is its…… A return to water to lay eggs B scales-covered skin C need to keep its skin wet D inability to breath air 52 Animals found desert living possible only……… A when they became amphibious B if they migrated to the sea periodically C after they could walk on two feet D when they were fully adapted to land 53 The seashore was a barrier for descendants of fish type creatures in that……… A the land once rose much higher above the sea B crossing it required bodily changes C every attempt to cross it ended in death D once they crossed there was no return 54 The word “They” in line 11 refers to……… A animals B amphibians C land dwellers D reptiles and mammals 55 The adaptation process described in the article was accomplished……… A over millions of years B through biological changes C by the receding of the seas D Both A and B are correct VI From the four underlined words or phrases A, B, C or D identify the one that is not correct 56 After we moved to another town to live, we lost touch of our relatives A B C D 57 Although she has been cooking for many years, Ann still doesn't know to prepare English foods in the A B C traditional manner D 58 After she had lunch and took a nap, Mary hurried off to the lecture hall again A B C D 59 If drivers not observe the traffic regulations, they will stopped and fined A B C D 60 The mother tongue has a great influence in learners' pronunciation of English A B C D VII Read the passage and choose the best answer Our demand for water is constantly increasing Every year there are more and more people in the world Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water We live in a world of water But almost all of it – about 97% - is in the oceans This water is too salty to be used for drinking, Hocmai.vn – Ngôi trường chung học trò Việt Tổng ñài tư vấn: 1900 58-58-12 - Trang | - Khóa học Luyện ñề thi ðH-Cð môn Tiếng Anh – Thầy ðặng Văn Mạnh ðề số 09 farming, and manufacturing Only about 3% of the world's water is fresh Most of this water is not easily available to man because it is locked in glaciers and icecaps There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be Most of the water we use finds its way to the oceans There, it is evaporated by the sun It then falls back to the earth as rain Water is used and reused over again It is never used up Although the world as a whole has plenty of fresh water, some regions have a water shortage Rain does not fall evenly over the earth Some regions are always too dry, and others too wet A region that usually gets enough rain may suddenly have a serious dry spell and another region may be flooded with too much rain 61 All of the following statements can be inferred from the text EXCEPT: A We need more and more water B The population of the world is increasing every year C Most of the world's water is locked in glaciers and icecaps D Factories also need more water 62 Which of the following is NOT true about the world's water?
