Part 3 Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions (1.6 points)
It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct
What causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it
may die The exact causes of a species' death vary from situation to situation Rapidecological change may render an environment hostile to a species For example,temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt Food resources may beaffected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring
Trang 6Trang 5/8
these resources Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in
competition and, eventually, in the death of a species.
The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth.Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct
at the same time - a mass extinction One of the best-known examples of mass extinction
occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life.
Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago, whenapproximately 95 percent of all species died, mass extinctions can be caused by a relativelyrapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many
species If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the
oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affecting even organisms not living inthe oceans Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction
1 The word "it" in line 2 refers to
A environment B species C extinction D 99 percent
2 The word "eventually" in line 7 is closest in meaning to
A luckily B firstly C finally D accidently
3 What does the author say in paragraph 1 regarding most species in Earth's history?
A They have remained basically unchanged from their original forms.
B They have been able to adapt to ecological changes.
C They have caused rapid change in the environment.
D They are no longer in existence.
4 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as resulting from rapid ecological
change?
A Temperature changes B Availability of food resources
C Introduction of new species D Competition among species
5 The word "demise" in line 4 of paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A change B recovery C help D death
6 Why is "plankton" mentioned in line 8 of paragraph 2?
A To demonstrate the interdependence of different species
B To emphasize the importance of mass extinction.
C To illustrate a comparison among organisms that live in the ocean
D To point out that certain species could never become extinct.
7 According to paragraph 2, evidence from fossils suggests that
A extinction of species has occurred from time to time throughout Earth's history.
B extinctions on Earth have generally been massive.
C there has been only one mass extinction in Earth's history.
D dinosaurs became extinct much earlier than scientists originally believed.
8 According to the passage, it is believed that the largest extinction of a species occurred
_
A 26 million years ago B 65 million years ago
C 225 million years ago D 250 million years

SLEEPY STUDENTS PERFORM WORSE
By Lauran Neergaard, AP Medical Writer
A Sleep experts have long warned that Americans of all ages don't get enough shuteye.
Sleep is important for health, bringing a range of benefits that, as Shakespeare put it, “knits
up the raveled sleave of care.” Not getting enough is linked to a host of problems, from carcrashes as drivers doze off to crippled memory and inhibited creativity Exactly how muchsleep correlates with school performance is hard to prove So, Brown researchers set out totest whether teachers could detect problems with attention and learning when childrenstayed up late even if the teachers had no idea how much sleep their students usually got
B They recruited seventy four 6-to 12-year-olds from Rhode Island and southern
Massachusetts for the three-week study For one week, the youngsters went to bed andwoke up at their usual times They already were fairly good sleepers, getting nine to 9.5
Trang 7hours of sleep a night Another week they were assigned to spend no fewer than 10 hours in bed a night And another week, they were kept up later than usual: Firstand second -graders were in bed no more than eight hours and the older children no more than 6.5 hours
In addition to parents' reports, the youngsters wore motion-detecting wrist monitors to ensure compliance
C Teachers weren't told how much the children slept or which week they stayed up late,
but rated the students on a variety of performance measures each week The teachers reported significantly more academic problems during the week of sleep deprivation, the study, which will be published in the journal Sleep in December, concluded Students who got 8 hours of sleep or less a night were more forgetful, had the most trouble learning new lessons, and have the most problems paying attention, reported Fallone, now at the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology
D Sleep has long been a concern of educators Potter-Burns Elementary School sends
notes to parents reminding them to make sure students get enough sleep prior to the school's yearly achievement testing., Another school considers it important enough to include the school's monthly newsletters Definitely, there is an impact on students' performance if they come to school tired However, the findings will change physician practice, said Dr Regina Benjamin, a family physician in Bayou La Batre, who reviewed the data at the Thursday's AMA meeting “I don't ask about sleep” when evaluating academically struggling students, she noted “I'm going to start.”
E So how much sleep do kids need? Recommended amounts range from about ten to eleven hours a night for young elementary students to 8.5 hours for teens Lallone insists that his own second grader get ten hours a night, even when it meant dropping soccer -season that practice did not start until 7:30- too late for her to fit in dinner and time to wind down before she needed to be snoozing "It's tough," he acknowledged "But parents must believe in the importance of sleep."

THE END
Trang 10Thời gian làm bài: 150 phút (Đề thi gồm: 02 trang)
Phần I (4,0 điểm)
Đọc đoạn văn bản sau và trả lời các câu hỏi:
Hãy luôn tâm niệm rằng, cuộc sống, thực chất là một cuộc trải nghiệm lớn, mà trong
đó bạn phải đi tìm những mảnh ghép là những trải nghiệm nhỏ để từ đó ghép nên cuộc đời mình Khi tâm niệm cuộc đời chỉ là một cuộc trải nghiệm, bạn sẽ không quá áp lực trước mọi sự lựa chọn của mình trong cuộc đời Đó là cuộc chơi, không ai thắng và cũng không ai thua cả, vì suy cho cùng, ai cũng phải đến lúc giã từ cuộc sống, nhưng người may mắn hơn,
là người sống được nhiều hơn những người khác Sống được nhiều hơn không có nghĩa là sống lâu hơn mà là sống được nhiều khoảnh khắc hơn trong đời, như Jean Jacques Rousseau nói: “Người sống nhiều nhất không phải là người sống lâu năm nhất mà là người
có nhiều trải nghiệm phong phú nhất”.
Mục tiêu của thế hệ trẻ, có lẽ nên thay đổi ngay việc sống sung sướng hơn, sống tốt hơn, sống lâu hơn, thành “sống nhiều hơn”, thế là đủ.
Nhưng làm thế nào để sống nhiều hơn? Cách duy nhất là hãy biến từng phút giây có thể đều trở nên ý nghĩa và giải pháp là hãy không ngừng đặt bản thân vào tâm thế sẵn sàng trải nghiệm mọi thứ xung quanh mình, đừng ngại ngùng, đừng lười biếng, đừng sợ hãi.
Còn làm thế nào để trải nghiệm cuộc sống ư? Hãy thay suy nghĩ b ằng hành động, thay lời nói bằng hành động, hành động ngay đi thôi Hãy ngưng nói mà làm, ngưng suy tính quá kĩ càng, ngưng nghi ngờ và sợ hãi Như Steve Job nói câu nổi tiếng nhất: “Hãy cứ khát khao, hãy cứ dại khờ” Henry David Thoreau nói: “Những người trẻ tuổi học sống thế nào nếu không phải là ngay lập tức thử trải nghiệm cuộc sống?”.
