George Washington Carver showed that plant life was more than just food for animals and
humans Carver‘s first step was to analyze plant parts to find out what they were made of He
then combined these simpler isolated substances with other substances to create new products The branch of chemistry that studies and finds ways to use raw materials from farm products to make industrial products is called chemurgy Carver was one of the first and greatest chemurgists of all time Today the science of chemurgy is better known as the science of synthetics Each day people depend on and use synthetic materials made from raw materials All his life Carver battled against the disposal of waste materials and warned of the growing need to develop substitutes for the natural substances being used up by humans
Carver never cared about getting credit for the new products he created He never tried to
patent his discoveries or get wealthy from them He turned down many offers to leave Tuskegee

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
Atomic were once thought to be fundamental pieces of matter, but they are in turn made of smaller subatomic particles There are three major subatomic particles neutrons, protons, and electronic Protons and neutrons can be broken into even smaller units, but these smaller units do not occur naturally in nature and are thought to only be produced in manmade particle accelerators and perhaps in extreme stellar events like supernovas The structure of an atom can best be described as a small solar system, with the neutrons at the center and the electrons circling them in various orbits, just as the planets circle the sun In reality, the structure of an atom is far more complex, because the laws of physics are fundamentally different at the atomic level than of the level of the observable word The true nature of atomic structure can only be expressed accurately through complex mathematical formulas This explanation, however, is of little use to most average people
Protons and neutrons have nearly equal mass and size, but protons carry a positive electrical charge, while neutrons carry no charge at all Protons and neutrons are bound together
by the strong nuclear force, one of the four basic forces in the universe Protons and neutrons give atoms some of their most basic properties Elements are defined by two numbers; their atomic number , which is equal to the number of protons they have, and their atomic weight , which is equal to total number of their neutrons and protons In most lighter atoms , the number
of neutrons and protons is equal , and the element is stable In heavier atoms, however, there are more neutrons than protons , and the element is unstable, eventually losing neutrons through radioactive decay until a neutral state is reached
Electrons are negatively charged particles They are bound to their atoms through
electromagnetic attraction Opposite electrical charges attract one another, so the positive
charge of the proton helps keep the negatively charged electron in orbit around the nucleus of the atom Electrons are different from neutrons in that they cannot be broken down into smaller particles They are also far smaller and lighter than neutrons and protons An electron is about one thousandth of the diameter of a proton and an even smaller fraction of its mass Electrons circle the protons and neutrons at the center of the atom in orbit These orbits are often called electron shells The closer the orbit is to the center of the atom, the lower its energy is There are seven electron shells, and each higher level can hold more electron than the previous shell
Trang 7Electrons naturally seek to occupy the lowest shell possible So if there is space in a lower shell,
an electron will drop down to occupy that space At temperatures higher than a few hundred degrees, electrons will gain energy and move to a higher shell, but only momentarily When the electrons drop back down to their natural shell, they emit light This is why fires and other very hot objects seem to glow
Electrons are also primarily responsible for many of the chemical properties of atoms Since electrons seek to occupy the lowest electron shell possible, they will move from one atom
to another if there is a space available in a lower electron shell For example, if there is an atom with an open space in its third shell, and it comes into contact with an atom with electrons in its fourth shell, the first atom will take one of these electrons to complete its third shell When this happens, the two atoms will be chemically bonded to form a molecule Furthermore, atoms sometimes lose electrons in collisions with other atoms When it happens, the radio of protons and electrons in the atom changes, and therefore, the overall electrical charge of the atom changes as well These atoms are called isotopes, and they have significantly different chemical properties from their parent atoms
Question 43: In paragraph 1, why does the author compare the structure of an atom to a solar
system?
A To provide an explanation of atomic structure that will be easily understood
B To show that the complex mathematical formulas used to explain atomic structure are
inaccurate
C To show the influence of atomic structure on the world at the observable level
D To contrast the size of atoms with the size of objects at the observable level
Question 44: According to paragraph 2, an atom‘s atomic number is determined by
A The sum of its protons and electrons
B The different in the mass of its neutrons and protons
C The strength of the bond between its protons and neutrons
D The total number of protons it has
Question 45: The word stable in paragraph 2 is closet in meaning to
Question 46: According to the information in paragraph 2, what will happen if an atom has more
neutrons than protons?
A It will not have enough of a positive electrical charge to keep its electrons in orbit
Trang 8B Its nucleus will explode in a supernova
C It will slowly give off neutrons until the atom becomes stable
D Its extra neutrons will be converted into light energy
Question 47: The phrase one another in paragraph 3 refers to
A Particles B Electrical charges C Electrons D Atoms
Question 48: According to paragraph 3, when does an atom produce light?
A When it has more electrons than its electron shells can hold
B When an electron drops back to its original electron shell
C When an electron is transferred from one atom to another
D When energy is added to the outermost electron shell
Question 49: According to the passage, all of the following are true of electrons EXCEPT
A Their energy levels are fixed and unchanging
B They are kept in orbit by electromagnetic attraction
C They are elementary particles and cannot be broken down
D They are considerably smaller than neutrons or protons
Question 50: According to paragraph 4, which property of electrons is responsible for chemical
bonding?
A Their ability to break free of their atom during a collision
B Their electromagnetic attraction to protons
C The fact that they cannot be broken into smaller particles
D Their tendency to occupy the lowest possible electron shell
Trang 9Phương pháp: Cách sử dụng afraid to và afraid of (ving) trong tiếng Anh
Cấu trúc I am afraid to do something = Tôi ngại (sợ) làm điều gì đó Tôi không muốn làm điều đó bởi vì điều đó nguy hiểm hoặc kết quả có thể không tốt
Trang 10Chúng ta sử dụng afraid to do với những việc chúng ta có chủ tâm
Ví dụ:
- A lot of people are afraid to go out at night
(= they don't want to go out because it is dangerous — so they don't go out)
trúc I am afraid of something happening = Có khả năng một việc gì xấu sẽ xảy ra (ví dụ tai nạn)
Chúng ta không sử dụng afraid of + Ving cho những việc mà chúng ta có chủ tâm
Ví dụ:
- The path was icy, so we walked very carefully We were afraid of falling
(= it was possible we would fall ― KHÔNG nói 'we were afraid to fall')
Tóm lại, bạn ngại phải làm điều gì đó (afraid to do) vì bạn sợ xảy ra một điều gì đó (afraid of something happening) như là một hậu quả tất yếu
Ví dụ:
- I was afraid to go near the dog because I was afraid of being bitten
Tôi sợ đi gần con chó vì tôi sợ bị cắn
