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.

Animals that produce large amounts of offspring depend upon the sheer size of the litter for the perpetuation of their

species The young mature very quickly and are not educated, as the parents are usually involved with obtaining their ownfood and with reproduction Should some of the offspring become endangered, the parent will not interfere, because it is not

expected that all the young survive, which is the reason for a large litter One animal that produces large litters is the hamster.

A female hamster is able to bear young when she is siweeks to two months old The gestation period is about 16 days

Although an average litter size is from five to ten, hamsters commonly have as few as three or as many as a dozen offspring

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.

For 150 years scientists have tried to determine the solar constant, the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth Yet,

even in the most cloud-free regions of the planet, the solar constant cannot be measured precisely Gas molecules and dust particles in the atmosphere absorb and scatter sunlight and prevent some wavelengths of the light from ever reaching the

ground

With the advent of satellites, however, scientists have finally been able to measure the Sun's output without being impeded

by the Earth's atmosphere Solar Max, a satellite from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has been

measuring the Sun's output since February 1980 Although a malfunction in the satellite's control system limited itsobservation for a few years, the satellite was repaired in orbit by astronauts from the space shuttle in 1984 Max'sobservations indicate that the solar constant is not really constant after all

The satellite's instruments have detected frequent, small variations in the Sun's energy output, generally amounting to nomore than 0.05 percent of the Sun's mean energy output and lasting from a few days to a few weeks Scientists believe thesefluctuations coincide with the appearance and disappearance of large groups of sunspots on the Sun's disk Sunspots arerelatively dark regions on the Sun's surface that have strong magnetic fields and a temperature about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheitcooler than the rest of the Sun's surface Particularly large fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with sightings oflarge sunspot groups In 1980, for example, Solar Max's instruments registered a 0.3 percent drop in the solar energy reachingthe Earth At that time a sunspot group covered about 0.6 percent of the solar disk, an area 20 times larger than the Earth'ssurface

Long-term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine Although Solar Max's data have indicated a slowand steady decline in the Sun's output, some scientists have thought that the satellite's aging detectors might have become lesssensitive over the years, thus falsely indicating a drop in the solar constant

This possibility was dismissed, however, by comparing Solar Max's observations with data from a similar instrument

operating on NASA's Nimbus 7 weather satellite since 1978

Question 22: The phrase "This possibility" in paragraph 4 refers to the likelihood that the

A Nimbus 7 satellite is older than Solar Max B solar constant has declined

C instruments are providing inaccurate data D solar constant cannot be measured

Question 23: What does this passage mainly discuss?

A The launching of a weather satellite B The measurement of variations in the solar constant

C The components of the Earth's atmosphere D The interaction of sunlight and air pollution

Question 24: Why did scientists think that Solar Mamight be giving unreliable information?

A Nimbus 7 interfered with Solar Max's detectors.

B Solar Max's instruments were getting old.

Trang 3

C Solar Madid not work for the first few years.

D The space shuttle could not fiSolar Max's instruments.

Question 25: The word "scatter" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

Question 26: Why does the author mention "gas" and "dust" in paragraph 1?

A They interfere with accurate measurement of the solar constant.

B They are found in varying concentrations.

C Scientific equipment is ruined by gas and dust.

D They magnify the solar constant.

Question 27: According to the passage, scientists believe variations in the solar constant are related to

C increased levels of dust D fluctuations in the Earth's temperature

Question 28: Why is it not possible to measure the solar constant accurately without a satellite?

A The Earth's atmosphere interferes with the sunlight.

B The Earth is too far from the Sun.

C Some areas on Earth receive more solar energy than others.

D There is not enough sunlight during the day.

Question 29: The attempt to describe the solar constant can best be described as

A an issue that has been resolved B a question that can never be answered

C an ongoing research effort D historically interesting, but irrelevant to contemporary concerns Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the rest in the position of the main stress in each of the following questions.

Question 30:A concept B cocoon C response D deny

Question 31:A athletic B decorate C industry D register

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.

Animals that produce large amounts of offspring depend upon the sheer size of the litter for the perpetuation of their

species The young mature very quickly and are not educated, as the parents are usually involved with obtaining their ownfood and with reproduction Should some of the offspring become endangered, the parent will not interfere, because it is not

expected that all the young survive, which is the reason for a large litter One animal that produces large litters is the hamster.

A female hamster is able to bear young when she is siweeks to two months old The gestation period is about 16 days

Although an average litter size is from five to ten, hamsters commonly have as few as three or as many as a dozen offspring

at a time Mothers will sometimes eat their own young, particularly when the number of offspring is large Females mayproduce litters up to an age of about 15 months at monthly intervals The blind, hairless young begin to grow fur in two to

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.

For 150 years scientists have tried to determine the solar constant, the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth Yet,

even in the most cloud-free regions of the planet, the solar constant cannot be measured precisely Gas molecules and dust particles in the atmosphere absorb and scatter sunlight and prevent some wavelengths of the light from ever reaching the

ground

With the advent of satellites, however, scientists have finally been able to measure the Sun's output without being impeded

by the Earth's atmosphere Solar Max, a satellite from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has been

measuring the Sun's output since February 1980 Although a malfunction in the satellite's control system limited itsobservation for a few years, the satellite was repaired in orbit by astronauts from the space shuttle in 1984 Max'sobservations indicate that the solar constant is not really constant after all

The satellite's instruments have detected frequent, small variations in the Sun's energy output, generally amounting to nomore than 0.05 percent of the Sun's mean energy output and lasting from a few days to a few weeks Scientists believe thesefluctuations coincide with the appearance and disappearance of large groups of sunspots on the Sun's disk Sunspots arerelatively dark regions on the Sun's surface that have strong magnetic fields and a temperature about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheitcooler than the rest of the Sun's surface Particularly large fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with sightings oflarge sunspot groups In 1980, for example, Solar Max's instruments registered a 0.3 percent drop in the solar energy reachingthe Earth At that time a sunspot group covered about 0.6 percent of the solar disk, an area 20 times larger than the Earth'ssurface

Long-term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine Although Solar Max's data have indicated a slowand steady decline in the Sun's output, some scientists have thought that the satellite's aging detectors might have become lesssensitive over the years, thus falsely indicating a drop in the solar constant

This possibility was dismissed, however, by comparing Solar Max's observations with data from a similar instrument

operating on NASA's Nimbus 7 weather satellite since 1978

Question 43: Why is it not possible to measure the solar constant accurately without a satellite?

A The Earth's atmosphere interferes with the sunlight.

B The Earth is too far from the Sun.

C Some areas on Earth receive more solar energy than others.

D There is not enough sunlight during the day.

Question 44: The attempt to describe the solar constant can best be described as

A historically interesting, but irrelevant to contemporary concerns B a question that can never be answered

C an ongoing research effort D an issue that has been resolved

Question 45: According to the passage, scientists believe variations in the solar constant are related to

A fluctuations in the Earth's temperature B sunspot activity

Question 46: Why did scientists think that Solar Mamight be giving unreliable information?

A Nimbus 7 interfered with Solar Max's detectors.

B Solar Madid not work for the first few years.

C Solar Max's instruments were getting old.

D The space shuttle could not fiSolar Max's instruments.

Question 47: Why does the author mention "gas" and "dust" in paragraph 1?

A They magnify the solar constant.

B Scientific equipment is ruined by gas and dust.

C They interfere with accurate measurement of the solar constant.

Trang 12

D They are found in varying concentrations.

Question 48: The word "scatter" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

Question 49: The phrase "This possibility" in paragraph 4 refers to the likelihood that the

A solar constant has declined B solar constant cannot be measured

C instruments are providing inaccurate data D Nimbus 7 satellite is older than Solar Max

Question 50: What does this passage mainly discuss?

A The interaction of sunlight and air pollution B The launching of a weather satellite

C The components of the Earth's atmosphere D The measurement of variations in the solar constant
