Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know Although
the whale is very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water Whales have tails
that end like flippers With just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward The skin of a whale is so
smooth that it does not create any friction that can slow the whale down A whale’s breathing
hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe without having to completely push its head
out of the water Whales are protected from the cold seawater by body fat that is called blubber
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviours, they are more similar to humans than fish.
They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from
cooler to warmer waters The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years Whales are
known not to desert the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle them When whales are in
danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them One such case occurred in 1988,
when three young whales were trapped in the sea It was close to winter and the sea had begun
to freeze over Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great
danger to them All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe
through Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures They cut holes in
the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales These holes would also serve as
guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.

Water scarcity is fast becoming one of the major limiting factors in world crop production In many areas, poor agricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of formerly arable lands Consequently, those plant species that are well adapted to survival in dry climates are being looked at for an answer in developing more efficient crops to grow on
marginally arable lands.
Plants use several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments Some involve purely mechanical and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant's surface, smaller leaf
size, and extensive root systems Some of the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms.
Many plants, such as cacti, have internal gums and mucilage which give them water-retaining properties Another chemical mechanism is that of the epicuticular wax layer This wax layer acts
as an impervious cover to protect the plant It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture It also protects the plant from external aggression, which can come from inorganic agents such as gases,
or organic agents which include bacteria and plant pests
Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes with similar protective abilities could be prepared based on knowledge of desert plants If successfully developed, such a compound could
be used to greatly increase a plant's ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as
Trang 8inadequate water supply, limited fertilizer availability, attack by pests, and poor storage after harvesting
Questions 36: This passage deals mainly with
A decreasing water supply B desertification
C factors limiting crop production D developing efficient plants
Questions 37: The word “arable” in the 1stparagraph is closest in meaning to
Questions 38: The word “extensive” in the 2ndparagraph is closest in meaning to _
A spongy B widespread C comprehensive D shallow
Questions 39: Which is one of the ways in which the epicuticular wax protects the plant?
A It helps the plant to attack aggressors.
B It guards against bacteria.
C It releases gases against plant pests.
D It helps the plant to avoid excessive moisture intake
Questions 40: The word “It” in the 2ndparagraph refers to
A the epicuticular wax layer B the loss of internal moisture
C an impervious plant like cover D another chemical mechanism
Questions 41: The word “aggression” in the 2ndparagraph is closest in meaning to _
A surroundings B conditions C attack D agitation
Questions 42: What is an example of an inorganic agent that may attack plants?
Questions 43: It can be inferred that synthetic stimulate waxes
A have been determined to be impervious to organic and inorganic agents
B have not succeeded
C have not been developed yet
D have the quality of causing bacteria

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health Although science has made enormous
steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat Some research has
shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related
to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon People of different cultures are more prone to contact certain
illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume
That food is related to illness is not a new discovery In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates
nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer Yet, these
carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients
on the packaging label of processed food are helpful or harmful
The additives that we eat are not all so direct Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue
A healthy diet is directly related to good health Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge
Question 44: What are nitrates used for?
C There are objects of research D They cause the animals become fatter
Question 45: FDA means .
A Federal Dairy Additives B Food and Drug Administration
Trang 9C Final Difficult Analysis D Food Direct Additives
Question 46: All of the following statements are TRUE except
A Drug are always given to animals for medical reasons
B Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world
C Researchers have known about the potential hazard of food additives for more than 45 years
D Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals
Question 47: What is best title for this passage?
A The food you eat can affect your health B Harmful and Harmless substances in food
C Avoiding injurious substances in food D Improving health through a Natural Diet
Question 48: The word “fit” could be best replaced by which of the following?
Question 49: The word “these” refers to _?
A researchers B nitrates and nitrites C meats D colors
Question 50: The word “additives” is closest meaning to .
A begin substance B natural substance C dangerous substance D added substance
