Carbon dating can be used to estimate the age of any organic natural material; it has been used

successfully in archeology to determine the age of ancient artifacts or fossils as well as in a variety of other

fields The principle underlying the use of carbon dating is that carbon is a part of all living things on Earth.

Since a radioactive substance such as carbon-14 has a known half-life, the amount of carbon-14 remaining in an object can be used to date that object.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,570 years, which means that after that number of years, half of the carbon-14 atoms have decayed into nitrogen-14 It is the ratio of carbon-14 in that substance that indicates the age of the substance If, for example, in a particular sample the amount of carbon-14 is roughly equivalent to the amount of nitrogen-14, this indicates that around half of the carbon-14 has decayed into nitrogen-14, and the sample is approximately 5,570 years old.

Carbon dating cannot be used effectively in dating objects that are older than 80,000 years When objects are that old, much of the carbon-14 has already decayed into nitrogen-14, and the miniscule amount that is left doesn’t provide a reliable measurement of age In the case of older objects, other age-dating methods are available, methods which use radioactive atoms with longer half-lives than carbon has.

Question 36: This passage is mainly about .

A the differences between carbon-14 and nitrogen-14

B one method of dating old objects

C archeology and the study of ancient artifacts

D various uses for carbon

Question 39: The word “underlying” could best be replaced by .

Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours There are

two very different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways The skates andrays, relatives of the sharks, have become flat in what might be called the obvious way Theirbodies have grown out sideways to form great “wings” They look as though they have beenflattened but have remained symmetrical and “the right way up” Conversely, fish such as plaice,sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way There are bony fish which have a markedtendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much “taller” than they are wide Theyuse their whole, vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through thewater as they move Therefore, when their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side

than on their bellies However, this raises the problem that one eye was always looking down

into the sand and was effectively useless In evolution this problem was solved by the lowereye “moving” around the other side We see this process of moving around enacted in thedevelopment of every young bony flatfish It starts life swimming near the surface, and issymmetrical and vertically flattened, but then the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetricaltwisted fashion, so that one eye, for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards,

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 questions from 36 to 42

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in

material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to

the problem of extinction Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem International laws protecting these animals must be enacted

to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries,

in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves They

then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also

depend on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols

to protect the animals Another solution that is an attempt to stem the tide of animal extinction is an

international boycott of products made from endangered species This has had some effect, but it will not, by itself, prevent animals from being hunted and killed

Question 36: What is the main topic of the passage?

A Endangered species B Problems with industrialization

Question 37: The word “callousness” could be best replaced by which of the following?

Question 38: The passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast _

A a comparison and a contrast B a problem and a solution

C a statement and an illustration D specific and general information

Question 39: What does the word “this” in the first paragraph refer to in the passage?

C Killing animals for personal satisfaction D The decrease in the Bengal tiger population

Question 40: The word “defray” is closest in meaning to which of the following?

Question 41: The author uses the phrase “stem the tide” in the second paragraph to mean _

RACES AND THEIR GENETIC DIFFERENCES

Genetics is the study of hereditary characteristics that are passed down from one generation of living organisms to another Although farmers have used selective breeding to improve the resilience

of crops and animals, it wasn't until the mid-1800s that Gregor Mendel started the science of genetics

as we know it today Following Mendel's methods, scientists have discovered "chromosomes" and

"DNA" With the ability to study DNA, scientists were able to study the genetic differences between races

Modern genetics discovered that all humans are descendants of "Mitochondrial Eve," a woman who lived over 150,000 years ago in Africa Since the first humans were born, over 75,000 generations have passed, and many subtle differences are now evident Humans share at least 99% of their genetic makeup A 1% difference may not seem like much, but when you consider that a chimpanzee shares 98% of human genes, you realize how much a 1% difference makes!

Africans are more closely related to Europeans than any other two groups, despite the fact that they differ so much in appearance The biggest genetic differences are found between Africans and the native populations of North America (22%) However, it is essential to note that the genetic differences between people of the same race are much greater than the differences between people of different races This means that the argument which claims that genetic differences make one race

superior to another is nothing but a tall story

The differences in various populations may also be the result of circumstances rather than genetic makeup Factors such as climate, diet, health care, education, and employment as well as other

socioeconomic factors are all influential However, there are some traits which are genetic; for example, there is a much higher incidence of sickle- cell anemia among black populations than any other population group Adult African-Americans and Latinos have twice as many cases of diabetes than Caucasians In the U.S., Latinos suffer more deaths from liver disease than other races Europeans suffer more from heart disease and cancer

Genes not only affect our susceptibility to disease, they also affect our physical attributes The Dinka people from the Sudan are considered to be the tallest people with men having an average height

of 6ft 3in., while women hit the big time with an impressive 5ft 3in This contrasts sharply with the Pygmy tribes who get the short end of the stick at only about 4ft 11in tall

Genetic differences may help us to tailor health services to people of different races or to detect life threatening diseases early However, they are not significant enough to support the claim that one race is superior to another In fact, our modern scientific understanding of human genetic diversity flies in the face of almost all our social stereotypes

Question 43: What is genetics?

A The study of old people B The study of muscles in your body

C The study of inherited characteristics D The study of human’s characteristics

Question 44: Why do farmers practice selective farming?

A To make animals and crops more resilient

B They only want to grow one crop

C They want to increase the number of farmers

D To make crops tastier

Question 45: What were scientists able to discover using Mendel's methods?

C Genetic differences D (A) and (B) are correct

Question 46: What does the phrase “a tall story” mean?

Question 47: Where do the greatest genetic differences occur?

A Between people of different races

B Between Europeans and Africans

C Between people of the same race

D Between Asians and Africans

Question 48: What two factors contribute to the differences between races?

A Genetics and socioeconomic factors

B Genetics and access to health care

C Access to health care and socioeconomic factors

D Genetic makeup and circumstances

Question 49: Which diseases are African-Americans more likely to get?

A Diabetes and liver disease

B Sickle-cell anemia and diabetes

C Cancer and sickle-cell anemia

D Cancer and heart disease

Question 50: What is the author saying in the last paragraph?

BÀI DỊCH Question 31-35

Cây là một trong những vật thể sống lớn nhất và lâu đời nhất trên trái đất, một vài loài cây còn có lâu hơn cả những tòa nhà cổ nhất Nhưng ngoài việc là những thứ rất dễ chịu khi nhìn vào, cây cũng đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc cải thiện chất lượng cuộc sống của chúng ta

Trên phạm vi toàn cầu, rừng giúp làm chậm lại hiệu ứng của hiện tượng nóng lên toàn cầu bằng cách dùng khí thải được biết tới là carbon dioxide và nhả ra khí ô-xi mà chúng ta cần để thở Ở mức độ địa phương, cây cũng mang lại những ích lợi môi trường quan trọng Chúng cho bóng râm và là nơi che chở, giúp làm giảm năng lượng cần thiết để làm ấm hay làm mát các tòa nhà gần đó; đồng thời, chúng cũng loại bỏ những chất bẩn trong không khí mà chúng ta hít thở

Cây xanh đô thị đặc biệt quan trọng vì đối với nhiều người chúng là mối liên hệ hàng ngày duy nhất với thế giới tự nhiên Hơn nữa, cây xanh đô thị là chỗ trú ẩn cho him, động vật nhỏ và bướm Thiếu cây xanh chúng ta có thể mất thi niềm vui thích khi thấy những sinh vật bé nhỏ trong thành phố của mình Mặc dù vậy nhưng đáng tiếc là cây xanh trong thành phố giờ đây đang

bị đe dọa Chúng chỉ chịu đựng được sự ô nhiễm đến một giới hạn nhất định, và, dưới lòng đất, rễ của chúng đang bị “làm phiền” một cách nghiêm trọng bởi việc đào bới để làm đường dây điện thoại, ti-vi và các loại cáp khác

*give out: tỏa ra, phát ra, làm bay ra, bốc lên, xông lên (hơi nóng, mùi …)

 … giving out the oxygen we need to breathe: [cây] thải ra khí ô-xi mà chúng ta cần để thở

BÀI DỊCH Question 36-42

Kể từ khi thế giới công nghiệp hoá, một lượng các loài động vật thiểu số đã trở nên tuyệt chủng hoặc sắp tuyệt chủng Ví dụ như loài hổ Bengal mà đã từng gầm vang nơi rừng rậm với số lượng cá thể đông đảo, bây giờ chỉ còn 2300 con Đến năm 2025, số lượng được ước tính chỉ xuống 0 Điều đáng báo động về trường hợp của hổ Bengal là sự tuyệt chủng này được gây ra hầu hết bởi những kẻ săn trộm, những kẻ mà, theo một vài nguồn tin, không có hứng thú gì về lợi ích vật chất mà chỉ vì ham thú cá nhân Đây là ví dụ của sự nhẫn tâm mà là một phần của cái thứ gây ra nạn tuyệt chủng Những loài động vật như hổ Bengal hay các loài khác là một phần quý giá của hệ sinh thái Luật pháp quốc tế bảo vệ những loài vật này phải được thực thi để đảm bảo

sự sinh tồn của chúng, và sự sống còn của hành tinh của chúng ta

Các quốc gia trên toàn thế giới đã bắt đầu đối phó với vấn đề này theo nhiều cách Một vài quốc gia, để hạn chế vấn đề, đã phân bổ một diện tích lớn đất đai cho khu bảo tồn động vật Sau đó họ tính phí vào cửa để giúp chi trả chi phí bảo trì công viên, và họ cũng thường phải phụ thuộc vào những tổ chức quốc để để nhận sự hỗ trợ Với số tiền nhận được, họ có thể đầu tư trang thiết bị và đội tuần tra để bảo vệ động vật Một giải pháp khác mà là một cố gắng để dừng việc động vật bị tuyệt chủng sự tẩy chay quốc tế với những sản phẩm được làm từ các loài động vật sắp tuyệt chủng Việc làm này có vẻ khá hiệu quả, nhưng một mình nó thì không thể ngăn động vật khỏi sự săn bắt và giết hại

36 A Endangered species

Đâu là chủ đề chính của bài?

A Các loài động vật có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng

B Những vấn đề với công nghiệp hóa

C Loài hổ Bengal

D Tẩy chay quốc tế

38 B a problem and a solution

Văn bản được chia ra làm hai phần để đối chiếu _

A so sánh và tương phản

B vấn đề và giải pháp

C một lời tuyên bố và minh họa

D thông tin chi tiết và chung chung

*Đoạn 1 tác giả nêu ra vấn đề mà các loài động vật thiểu số đang gặp phải là chúng đã hoặc đang tuyệt chủng (xem câu 1 đoạn 1) Đoạn 2 tác giả nêu ra một số giải pháp đang được áp dụng để giải quyết vấn đề này (xem câu 1 đoạn 2)

39 C killing animals for personal satisfaction

A hổ Bengal

B sự hứng thú với của cải vật chất

C sự giết hại động vật vì thú vui cá nhân

D sự suy giảm số lượng cá thể hổ Bengal

*Xem câu 3 và 4 của đoạn 1: …những kẻ săn trộm … không phải lúc nào cũng hứng thú với của

cải vật chất mà chính là thú vui cá nhân Điều này [giết hại động vật vì thú vui cá nhân] là minh

chứng cho sự nhẫn tâm mà đóng góp thêm vào vấn đề tuyệt chủng

40 A make a payment on

Từ “defray” gần nghĩa nhất với từ nào sau đây?
