III READING COMPREHENSION
Exercise 1 Read the passage then choose the best answer to each question that follows Identify your answer by writing the corresponding letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
THE ATMOSPHERE OF VENUS
Venus, also called the Morning Star and Evening Star, is the second-closest planet to the sun and the brightest object in the night sky The planet orbits the sun every two hundred and twenty four Earth-days and is sometimes referred to as Earth’s sister planet because the two share both a similar size and bulk What is not similar, however, is Venus’s atmosphere in comparison to Earth’s atmosphere
The atmosphere on Venus is much heavier and has a higher density than that of Earth
Venus’s atmosphere also expands significantly higher than Earth’s atmosphere although a thick cloud cover makes the surface of Venus nearly impossible to see unless observed through radar mapping
While the pressure and temperature of Venus’s upper atmosphere are comparable to those of Earth, the heat and pressure of the lower atmosphere are not unlike a furnace Venus’s atmosphere is very thick due to a composition consisting mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small
amount of nitrogen If man could survive the extreme heat of Venus’s surface (400 degrees
Celsius), then he would have to contend with a surface pressure that is more than 90 times that of Earth Venus’s extremely high temperature is thanks to the greenhouse effect
caused by such a large amount of carbon dioxide The greenhouse effect is a process by which the sun’s infrared radiation is more readily absorbed by the atmosphere Just like in a real greenhouse used to grow plants years round, the proliferation of carbon dioxide traps radiation and warms Venus’s atmosphere Due to this phenomenon, Venus boasts a higher atmospheric temperature than Mercury, even though Venus is twice the distance from the sun
Trang 7
However, scientists postulate that Venus’s atmosphere was not always so hot [A]
Studies show that large bodies of water were once on Venus’s surface but that eventually evaporation of all the water caused the runaway greenhouse effect which regulates the planet
today [B] Thus Venus has become a critical study for today’s scientists, as human beings are only beginning to struggle with the early stages of the greenhouse effect [C] Our problems do not stem from evaporated water supplies but from a propagation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases due to industrial and automobile emissions [D]
Another interesting characteristic to note regarding Venus’s atmosphere is that its daytime temperatures and nighttime temperatures are not that far removed from each other This is due to the thermal inertia, the ability of a substance to store heat despite changing temperatures and the transfer of heat by Venus’s strong winds Although winds on the surface
of Venus move slowly in comparison with Earth’s winds, Venus’s air is so dense that a moving there can move large obstructions and even skip stones along the planet’s surface
slow-In 1966, humankind made its first attempt at sending a recording instrument into Venus’s atmosphere The Venera 3 probe did collide with Venus surface; however, the abrupt impact caused its communication system to fail, and it was unable to send and feedback In
1967, Venera 4 successfully enter Venus’s atmosphere and was able to take many readings, one
of which recorded that Venus’s atmosphere was between ninety and ninety-five percent carbon dioxide Subsequent Venera probes were sent into Venus’s atmosphere, but most of them succumbed to the crushing air pressure
Questions 1-7: Choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the passage
1 According to paragraph 1, Venus is named the Morning Star and Evening Star because
A it is very bright
B it is close to the sun
C it can be seen from evening till morning
D it is used to find the direction by sailors
2 The word that in paragraph 2 refers to _
3 Which of the following best expresses the essential information in the bold sentence in paragraph 3? Incorrect answer choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information
A Earth experiences greater surface pressure than Venus
B If a man could survive its surface pressure
Trang 8
C The surface pressure and heat of Venus are much greater than those on Earth
D Venus’s surface temperature and pressure make it uninhabitable by humans
4 According to paragraph 3, the greenhouse effect on Venus is owed to _
A the small amounts of nitrogen
B the rapid increasing amounts of carbon dioxide
C growing plants
D the high atmospheric temperatures
5 In paragraph 4, the author of the passage implies that Earth _
A might suffer the same greenhouse effect as Venus
B once had an atmosphere similar to Venus’s
C has bodies of water similar to those on Venus today
D is experiencing a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions
6 Look at the four blanks […] in paragraph 4 that indicate where the following sentence could
be added to the passage
Although the causes are different, the ramifications are the same
Where would the sentence best fit?
7 The word propagation in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _
Questions 8 to 10: Complete the brief summary of the passage by selecting the THREE answer choices that express important ideas in the passage The introductory sentence for the summary is provided bellowed
Scientists look at Venus to predict Earth’s future
Trang 9E The first space probe of Venus was made in 1966
F Scientists are concerned that conditions on Earth that propagate significant quantities of carbon dioxide will produce greenhouse effects similar to Venus’s

May 7, 1840, was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the
nineteenth century: Peter Illich Tchaikovsky The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky
studied music as a child and later studied composition at the St Petersburg Conservatory His greatest period of productivity occurred between 1876 and 1890, during which time he
enjoyed the patronage of Madame von Meck, a woman he never met, who gave him
a living stipend of about $1,000 a year Madame von Meck later terminated her friendship
with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living allowance, when she herself was facing financial
difficulties It was during the time of Madame von Meck's patronage, however, that
Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous, including the music for the
ballets of “Swan Lake” and “The Sleeping Beauty” Tchaikovsky's music, well known
for its rich melody and sometimes melancholy passages, was one of the first that brought
serious dramatic music to dance Before this, little attention had been given to the music behind the dance Tchaikovsky died on November 6, 1893, ostensibly of cholera, although
there are now some scholars who argue that he committed suicide
