A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago, when small changes in the earth’s orbit and axis of rotation caused great sheets of ice to spread from the poles These glaciers covered much of North America and Europe to depths of up to two (15) miles, and then, as the climate warmed, they retreated During this retreat, they left behind newly Trang 3/7 uncovered land for living things to colonize, and as those living things moved in they laid down a record we can read now As the ice retreated and plants started to grow near a lake, they would release pollen Some would fall into the lake, sink to the bottom, and be incorporated into the sediment By drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to read the record of successive plant life (20) around the lake The fossil record seems clear; there is little or no evidence that entire groups of plants moved north together Things that lived together in the past don’t live together now, and things that live together now didn’t live together in the past Each individual organism moved at its own pace The fossil record seems to be telling us that we should be thinking about preserving (25) species by giving them room to maneuver – to respond to environmental changes 51 What is the passage mainly about? A The effects of the ice age on plants B Plant migration after the ice age C The need to develop a new approach to environmental issues D Communities of plants live at different altitudes 52 The word “radically” in line is closest in meaning to A variably B demonstrably C quickly D dramatically 53 The author mentions “cacti” in line and a ”treeless alpine tundra” in line to illustrate A changes in climate B the effects of the ice age C communities of plants D plant migration 54 The word “which” in line refers to A the responses of plants to climate changes B the current theories of ecosystems C the developments of ecosystems D plant life changes 55 The word “axis” in line 12 is closest in meaning to A center B method C change D slowdown 56 The word “successive” in line 18 is closest in meaning to A extinct B consecutive C accumulative D following 57 The passage states that by drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to find successive fossils of A sediment B ice C plant life D pollen 58 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage A that the migratory patterns of plants are dependent upon changes in climate B that modern conservation methods should consider the migratory patterns of plants C that current associations of plants are similar to those in the past D that another ice age is likely to occur at some time 59 According to the passage, the movement of individual species of plants A occurs in groups B often depends upon the formation of lakes C does not occur in groups D depends upon climate and soil conditions 60 All of the following are true except A The ice age occurred when small changes affected the movement of the earth B Fossil records seem to indicate that plants will be preserved if they have sufficient room to move C Fossil records clearly show that entire groups of plants are unlikely to have moved together D In the ice age glaciers covered the world to depths of up to two miles VIII Each of the following sentences has one mistake Identify the mistake by choosing A, B,C or D 61 Many theories on conserving the purity of water has been proposed, but not one has been A B C as widely accepted as this one D Trang 4/7 62 The manager had finished working on the report last night, and now she will begin to write the other A B C D proposal 63 Our Spanish professor would like us spending more in the laboratory practising our pronunciation A B C D 64 The teachers and administrators are having such difficult time agreeing on a contract for the A B forthcoming year that the teachers may go on strike C D 65 They played so good game of tennis last night that they surprised their audience IX Read the passage and the quetions or unfinished sentences Then choose the answer A, B, C, or D that you think fits best Charles Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1902 but was raised on a farm in Minnesota, where his father was elected to the U.S Congress in 1907 From then on, he spent his boyhood alternately in Washington, D.C, and Little Falls, Minnesota Because Lindbergh exhibited exceptional mechanical talent, in 1921 he was admitted to the university of Wisconsin to study engineering However the young man was seeking more challenging endeavors, and two years later he became a stunt pilot who performed feats at county fairs and public assemblies This unusual and undertaking paid off handsomely in the sense that it allowed him to gain a diverse and well- rounded experience in aeronautics He particularly delighted in what he called "wingwalking" and parachute jumping After a year of trainging as a millitary cadet, Lindbergh completed his program at the Brooks and Kelly airfields at the top of his class and earned the rank of captain Roberton Aircraft Corporation of St Louis, Missouri, offered him employment as a mail pilot to run the routes between St Louis and Chicago, and Lindbergh retained his position with the company until 1927 During this period, he set out to win the Raymond B Orteig prize of $ 25,000 to be awarded to the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to Paris This ambition would irreversibly change his life and accord him a prominent place in the history of aviation Embarking on the greatest adventure of his time, Lindbergh left Roosevelt Field at 7:52 A.M on May, 20, 1927, and landed at Bourget Field at 5:24 P.M the next day Fearing that he would be unknown when he arrived, Lindbergh carried letters of introduction to dignitaries in Paris, but when his plane came to a stop, he was overwhelmed by tremendous welcoming crowds He was decorated in France, Great Britain, and Belgium, and President Coolidge sent a specially designated cruiser, the Memphis, to bring him back His accomplishments in aeronautics brought him more medals and awards than had ever been received by any other person in private life 66 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
