Read the following passage, and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each question
Certainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber All living creature, especially human beings, have their peculiarities, but everything about the little sea
cucumber seems unusual What else can be said about a bizarre animal that, among other
eccentricities, eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous but is considered supremely edible by gourmets?
Trang 5For some fifty million years, despite all its eccentricities, the sea cucumber has subsisted
on its diet of mud It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet, under rocks in shallow water, or on the surface of mud flats Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has the ability to suck up mud or sand and digest whatever nutrients are present Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish – brown to sand – color and nearly white One form even has vivid purple tentacles Usually the creatures are cucumber – shaped – hence their name – and because they are typically rock inhabitants, this shape, combined with flexibility, enables them to squeeze into crevices where they are safe from predators and ocean currents
Although they have voracious appetites, eating day and night, sea cucumbers have the capacity to become quiescent and live at a low metabolic rate-feeding sparingly or not at all for long periods so that the marine organisms that provide their food have a chance to multiply If it
were not for this faculty, they would devour all the food available in a short time and would
probably starve themselves out of existence
But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself It major enemies are fish and crabs, when attacked; it squirts all its internal organs into the water It also
casts off attached structures such as tentacles The sea cucumber will eviscerate and regenerate
itself if it is attacked or even touched; it will do the same if surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted
Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A The reason for the sea cucumber’s name B What makes the sea cucumber unusual
C How to identify the sea cucumber D Places where the sea cucumber can be
found

Question 38: According to the passage, why is the shape of sea cucumbers important?
A It helps them to digest their food
B It helps them to protect themselves from danger
C It makes it easier for them to move through the mud
D It makes them attractive to fish
Question 39: The words “this faculty” refers to the sea cucumber’s ability to…
A squeeze into crevices B devour all available food in a short time
C suck up mud or sand D live at a low metabolic rate
Question 40: The fourth paragraph of the passage primarily discusses
Trang 6A the reproduction of sea cucumbers B the food sources of sea cucumbers
C the eating habits of sea cucumbers D threats to sea cucumbers’ existence Question 41: The phrase “casts off” is closest in meaning to…
A grows again B grabs C gets rid of D uses as a weapon Question 42: Which of the following would NOT cause a sea cucumber to release its internal
organs into the water?

Read the following passage, and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each question
Human memory, formerly believed to be rather inefficient, is really more sophisticated
than that of a computer Researchers approaching the problem from a variety of points of view
have all concluded that there is a great deal more stored in our minds than has been generally supposed Dr Wilder Penfield, a Canadian neurosurgeon, proved that by stimulating their brains
electrically, he could elicit the total recall of specific events in his subjects’ lives Even dreams
and other minor events supposedly forgotten for many years suddenly emerged in detail
The memory trace is the term for whatever is the internal representation of the specific information about the event stored in the memory Assumed to have been made by structural changes in the brain, the memory trace is not subject to direct observation but is rather a theoretical construct that we use to speculate about how information presented at a particular time can cause performance at a later time Most theories include the strength of the memory trace as a variable in the degree of learning, retention, and retrieval possible for a memory One theory is that the fantastic capacity for storage in the brain is the result of an almost unlimited combination of interconnections between brain cells, stimulated by patterns of activity Repeated references to the same information support recall Or, to say that another way, improved
performance is the result of strengthening the chemical bonds in the memory
Question 43: Compared with a computer, human memory is
A more complex B more limited C less dependable D less durable
Question 44: The word “that” refers to
A the computer B the efficiency C the sophistication D the memory
Question 45: According the passage, researchers have concluded that

C different points of view are valuable
D human memory is inefficient

A can be understood by the examining the physiology
B is stimulated by patterns of activity
C has a limited combination of relationship
D is not influenced by repetition
Question 49: The word “bonds” means…
A promises B agreements C connections D responsibilities Question 50: All of the following are true of a memory trace EXCEPT that
A it is probably made by structural changes in the brain
B it is able to be observed

D it is related to the degree of recall
