the Milky Way, the second- largest galaxy; and the Triangulum Spiral, the third largest There are also four medium-sized spiral galaxies, including the Large Cloud of Magallan and the Small Cloud of Magellan There are four regular elliptical galaxies; the remainder are dwaftellipticals Other than our own galaxy, only Andromeda and the Clouds of Magellan can be seen with the naked eye, and the Clouds are visiable only from the Southern Hemisphere In the vicinity of the Local Group are several clusters, each containing around twelve members.The nearest rich in members is the Virgo Cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies of all types Like most large clusters, it emits X-rays The Local Group, the small neighboring clusters, and the Virgo Cluster form part of a much larger cluster of clusters – the Local Super cluster The existence of galactic clusters presented a riddle to scientists for many years – the “ missing mass” problem Clusters are presumally held together by the gravity generated by their members However, measurements showed that the galaxies did not have enough mass to explain their apparent stability Why didn’t these clusters disintegrate? 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 Câu 33: Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss? A The incredible distance between galaxies B An astronomical problem that has never been solved C Clusters and super cluster of galaxies Trang 3/5 - Mã đề thi 414 D recent development in astronomy Câu 34: The word “ galactic” in bold in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A tiny B microscopic C astronomic D big Câu 35: The word “it” in paragraph refers to A the Virgo Cluster B the large cluster C The small neighboring cluster D The Local Group Câu 36: All of the following are visible from somewhere on Earth with a telescope EXCEPT A the Triangulum Spiral B the Milky Way C The Clouds of Magellan D Andromeda Câu 37: According to the passage, the Local Group and Virgo have which of the following in common?

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 Because B Although C Due to D Despite Câu 39: A written B published C composed D described Câu 40: A based B thought C imagined D inspired Câu 41: A taken B put C pulled D made Câu 42: A whose B which C who D that 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 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 Trang 4/5 - Mã đề thi 414 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?"
