A risk factors in heart attacks B cardiology in the 1980s C seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks D diet and stress as factors in heart attacks Question 37: The word "potential" could best be replaced by which of the following? A harmful B possible C unknown D primary Question 38: The phrase "susceptible to" could best be replaced by _ A prone to B aware of C accustomed D affected by Question 39: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a possible cause of many heart attacks? A decreased blood flow to the heart B increase in hormones C lower heart rate D increased blood pressure Question 40: The word "phenomenon" refers to which of the following? A habit B activity C illness D occurrence Question 41: Which of the following is NOT cited as a possible risk factor? A getting married B having a birthday C eating fatty foods D being under stress Question 42: Which of the following does the passage infer? A We not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks B We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks C We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks D We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks Trang 5/7 – Mã đề002 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 43 to 50 The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal Other solid materials such as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures Also, some substances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond together In order to bond together, the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost electrons This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions The lost electrons are free to move in what are known as a sea of electrons Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure together An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a battery is connected to the metal Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity The only other common solid conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a pencil is made from) Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current Likewise, if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a current but only when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain not flow easily Water itself is a poor conductor of electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral) However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive Question 43: Electrical conductivity is A one of the most important properties of metals B one of the key properties of most solid materials C impossible for any substance when it is dissolved in water D completely impossible for silicon Question 44: According to the passage, a metal can conduct electricity due to A the absence of free electrons B its atoms with a positive charge Trang 6/7 – Mã đề002 C the loss of one electron in the core of its atoms D the way its atoms bond together Question 45: The word “outermost” in the first paragraph mostly means _ A the lightest B nearest to the inside C furthest from the inside D the heaviest Question 46: The atoms of a metal can bond together because _ A negatively charged electrons attract positive ions B the lost electrons cannot move freely in the sea of electrons C electrons can flow in a single direction D positive ions are always fixed Question 47: Salt in its solid state is not able to conduct electricity because A it has free electrons B its charged ions can flow easily C it cannot create any charge ions D its charged ions are not free to move Question 48: The word “they” in the third paragraph refers to A charged ions B electrical insulators C charged particles D electric currents Question 49: Water is a poor conductor because it contains A only a small amount of fully charged particles B no positive or negative electric charge C only a positive electric charge D only a negative electric charge Question 50: We can have problems when touching electrical devices with wet hands because A the eater itself is a good conductor of electricity B the water contains too many neutral molecules C the water containing no charged particles makes it more conductive D the water dissolves the salt on our skin and becomes more conductive _THE END _ Trang 7/7 – Mã đề002 ...
