It is now thought that galaxies contain great amounts of “ dark matter”, which can not be directly observed but which generates gravitation pull The matter includes gas, dust, burnt –out stars, and even black holes Trang 3/5 - Mã đề thi 422 Câu 33: Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?

Atlantis was first (39) _ by Plato in around 360 BC He tells how Atlantis was settled by Poseidon The people were coming from a city on a hill 15 miles wide and, at first , they lived simple, virtuous lives But slowly they became more and more greedy and Zeus decided to teach them a lesson It is possible that Plato (40) his story on the ancient civilization of Minoans Crete, but other sites have also been told It is true that the Minoans were an advanced society and it is possibly that sports on the north coast of Crete were destroyed by a vocanosome time around 3420 BC When Plato died he left the story incomplete and his student, Aristotle, claimed at Plato had (41) the whole thing up Whatever the reality, there are yet thousands of people out there (42) _ believe Atlantis will still be found Câu 38: A Due to B Because C Despite D Although Câu 39: A published B written C described D composed Câu 40: A imagined B thought C based D inspired Câu 41: A pulled B made C taken D put Câu 42: A whose B which C that D who 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 from 43 to 50 Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best way to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem Next, the pertinent considerations that all possible solutions to the problem Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined Each consideration is assigned a Trang 4/5 - Mã đề thi 422 numerical value to reflect its relative importance A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships A realistic example for many college students is the question "What will I after graduation?" A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones Focusing on longrange goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to "What will I after graduation that will lead to a successful career?"
