A They function as part of a purification process B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants C They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants D They have existed since the Earth developed Question 66: According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions A can be dwarfed by nature’s output of pollutants B can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants C will damage areas outside of the localized regions D will react harmfully with natural pollutants Question 67: The word “localized” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to A specified B circled C surrounded D encircled Question 68: According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if A the other substances in the area are known B it is in a localized area C the natural level is also known D it can be calculated quickly Question 69: The word “detectable” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to A beneficial B special C measurable D separable Question 70: Which of the following is best supported by the passage?

a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth - is a vast frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharted Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth's surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the National Science Foundation's Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP).Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP's drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean's surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from the ocean floor 10 The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983 During this time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed sediments and rocks at 624 drilling sites around the world The Glomar Challenger's core samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundred of millions of years ago and to calculate what it will probably look like millions of years in the future Today, largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar 15 Challenger's voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift that 20 explain many of the geological processes that shape the Earth The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critical to understanding the world's past climates Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of past climates This record has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic change - information that may be used to predict future climates 25 Câu 36: The author refers to the ocean bottom as a "frontier" in line because it A.is not a popular area for scientific research B.contains a wide variety of life forms C.attracts courageous explorers D.is an unknown territory Câu 37: The word "inaccessible" in line is closest in meaning to A.unrecognizable B.unreachable C.unusable D.unsafe Câu 38: The author mentions outer space in line because A.the Earth's climate millions of years ago was similar to conditions in outer space B.it is similar to the ocean floor in being alien to the human environment C.rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor D.techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration Câu 39: Which of the following is true of the Glomar Challenger?

correct answer to each of the following questions from 56 to 60 Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant site and transmit the material to their employers A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular? Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager's responsibilities It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office Question 56: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters EXCEPT _ A the lack of interaction with a group B the different system of supervision C the fact that the work space is in the home D the opportunities for advancement Question 57: How many American workers are involved in telecommuting? A More than million B More than predicted in Business Week C Fewer than estimated in USA Today D Fewer than last year Question 58: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _ A the manager of a group of telecommuters B a reporter C a telecommuter D a statistician Question 59: The word "resistance" could best be replaced by _ A participation B consideration C opposition D alteration Question 60: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? 45 A A definition of telecommuting C An overview of telecommuting B The advantages of telecommuting D The failure of telecommuting PART VII: 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 following questions from 61 to 70 Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs One alternative is to eat substitute eggs These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked They have the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called 'designer' eggs These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly They cite scientific studies to back up their claim And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level Question 61: What is the main purpose of the passage? A To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level B To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol C To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten D To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes Question 62: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases? A minerals B cholesterol C canola oil D vitamins Question 63: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'? A in fact B a little C indefinitely D a lot Question 64: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs? A increasing price B decreased production C dietary changes in hens D concerns about cholesterol Question 65: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol? A 3/4 B 2/3 C 1/2 D 1/3 Question 66: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following? A studied B destroyed C tested D described Question 67: What is the meaning of 'back up'? A reverse B advance C block D support Question 68: What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'? A The results are blended B The results are a composite of things C The results are inconclusive D The results are mingled together Question 69: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of eggs EXCEPT? A boiled B poached C scrambled D fried Question 70: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol? A reducing egg intake but not fat intake B increasing egg intake and fat intake C decreasing egg intake and fat intake D increasing egg intake but not fat intake PART VIII: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks 71 to 80 The first question we might ask is: What can you learn in college that will help you in being an employee?

economic history of the United States", one scholar has written, "is the history of the rise and development of the capitalistic system" The colonists of the eighteenth century pushed forward what those of the seventeenth century have begun: the expansion and elaboration of an economy born in the great age of capitalist expansion Our excellent natural resources paved the way for the development of abundant capital to increase our growth Capital includes the tools – such as: machines, vehicles, and buildings – that makes the outputs of labor and resources more valuable But it also includes the funds necessary to buy those tools If a society had to consume everything it produced just to stay alive, nothing could be put aside to increase future productions But if a farmer can grow more corn than his family needs to eat, he can use the surplus as seed to increase the next crop, or to feed workers who build tractors This process of capital accumulation was aided in the American economy by our cultural heritage Saving played an important role in the European tradition It contributed to American’s motivation to put something aside today for the tools to buy tomorrow The great bulk of the accumulated wealth of America, as distinguished from what was consumed, was derived either directly or indirectly from trade Though some manufacturing existed, its role in the accumulation of capital was negligible A merchant class of opulent proportions was already visible in the seaboard cities, its wealth as the obvious consequence of shrewd and resourceful management of the carrying trade Even the rich planters of tidewater Virginia and the rice coast of South Carolina finally depended for their genteel way of life upon the ships and merchants who sold their tobacco and rice in the markets of Europe As colonial production rose and trade expanded, a business community emerged in the colonies, linking the provinces by lines of trade and identity of interest Question 51: With

A The result are blended B The result are a composite of things C The result are inconclusive D The result are mingled together Question 65: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol? A reducing egg intake but not fat intake B increasing egg intake and fat intake C decreasing egg intake and fat intake D increasing egg intake but not fat intake Question 66: Which of the following could best replace the word ‘somewhat’?

sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80 During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United 56 States Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States But little or no notice was taken of these contributions During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged National, regional, and local women’s organizations compiled accounts of their doings Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of History, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men.” To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss?
