Light from a living plant or animal is called bioluminescence, or cold light, to distinguish it from
incandescence or heat-generating light Life forms could not produce incandescent light without being burned Their light is produced in chemicals combining in such a way that little or no measurable heat is produced, and the life forms generating it are unharmed Although bioluminescence is a relatively
complicated process, it can be reduced to simple terms Living light occurs when luciferin and oxygen combine in the presence of luciferase In a few cases, fireflies the most common, an additional compound called ATP is required
The earliest recorded experiments with bioluminescence in the late 1800s are attributed to Raphael Dubois, who extracted a luminous fluid from a clam, observing that it continued to glow in the test tube for several minutes He named the substance luciferin, which means “the bearer of life” In further
research, Dubois discovered that several chemicals were required for bioluminescence to occur In his notes, it was recorded that a second important substance, which he called luciferase, was always present
In later study of small, luminous sea creatures, Newton Harley concluded that luciferin was composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which are the building blocks of all living cells He also proved that there are a variety of luciferin and luciferase, specific to the plants and animals that produce them
Much remains unknown, but many scientists who are studying bioluminescence now believe that the origin of the phenomenon may be traced to a time when there was no oxygen in the Earth’s
atmosphere When oxygen was gradually introduced to the atmosphere, it was actually poisonous to life forms, plants and animals produced light to use up the oxygen in a gradual but necessary adaptation It is speculated that millions of years ago, all life may have produced light to survive As the millennia passed, life forms on Earth became tolerant of, and finally dependent on oxygen, and the adaptation that produced
bioluminescence was no longer necessary, but some primitive plants and animals continued to use the
light for new functions such as mating or attracting prey
Question 36: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A Cold light B Luciferase
C Primitive plants and animals D Earth’s atmosphere
Question 37: According to the author, why has bioluminescence continued in modern plants and

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
Many of the most damaging and life-threating types of weather-torrential rains, severe
thunderstorms, and tornadoes-begin quickly, strike suddenly, and dissipate rapidly, devastating small regions while leaving neighboring areas untouched One such event, a tornado, struck the northeastern section of Edmonton, Alberta, in July 1987 Total damages from the tornado exceeded $250 million, the highest ever for any Canadian storm Conventional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short-live local storms like the Edmonton tornado, because the available weather data
are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to discern the subtle atmospheric changes that precede these storms In most nations, for example, weather balloon observations are taken just once
every twelve hours at locations typically separated by hundreds of miles With such limited data,
conventional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large
regions than they do forecasting specific local events.
Until recently, the observation-intensive approach needed for accurate, very short range forecasts,
or “Nowcasts”, was not feasible The cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional weather stations was prohibitively high, and the difficulties involved in rapidly collecting and processing the raw weather data from such a network were insurmountable Fortunately, scientific and technological advances have overcome most of these problems Radar systems, automated weather instruments, and satellites are all capable of making detailed, nearly continuous observation over large regions at a
relatively low cost Communications satellites can transmit data around the world cheaply and
instantaneously, and modern computers can quickly compile and analyzing this large volume of weather information Meteorologists and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment capable of transforming raw weather data into words, symbols, and vivid graphic
displays that forecasters can interpret easily and quickly As meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, Nowcasting is becoming a reality
Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A Computers and weather B Dangerous storms
C Weather forecasting D Satellites
Question 44: Why does the author mention the tornado in Edmonton, Canada?
A To indicate that tornadoes are common in the summer
Trang 6B To give an example of a damaging storm
C To explain different types of weather
D To show that tornadoes occur frequently in Canada
Question 45: The word “subtle” is closest in meaning to: .
A complex B regular C imagined D slight
Question 46: Why does the author state that observations are taken “just once every twelve hours”?
A To indicate that the observations are timely
B To show Why the observations are of limited value
C To compare data from balloons and computers
D To give an example of international cooperation
Question 47: The word “they” refers to: .
A models B conditions C regions D events
Question 48: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advance in short-range weather
forecasting?
A Weather balloons B Radar systems
C Automated instruments D Satellites
Question 49: With which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree?
A Communications satellites can predict severe weather.
B Meteorologists should standardize computer programs.
C The observation-intensive approach is no longer useful.
D Weather predictions are becoming more accurate.
Question 50: Which of the following would best illustrate Nowcasting?
A A five-day forecast
B A warning about a severe thunderstorm on the radio.
C The average rainfall for each month.
D A list of temperatures in major cities.
