The simplest way to settle this question was to determine the total water content in the animals to see if it decreases as they are kept for long periods on a dry diet If they slowly use up their water, the body should become increasingly dehydrated, and if they begin with a store of water, this should be evident from an initial high water content Results of such experiments with kangaroo rats on dry diets for more than weeks showed that the rats maintained their body weight There was no trend toward a decrease in water content during the long period of water deprivation When the kangaroo rats were given free access to water, they did not drink water They did nibble on small pieces of watermelon, but this did not change appreciably the water content in their bodies, which remained at 66.3% to 67.2% during this period This is very close to the water content of dry-fed animals (66.5%), and the availability of free water, therefore, did not lead to any “storage” that could be meaningful as a water reserve This makes it reasonable to conclude that physiological storage of water is not a factor in the kangaroo rat’s ability to live on dry food Question 35 What is the topic of this passage? A Kangaroo rats C Desert life B Water in the desert D Physiological experiments Question 36 The word “expire” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A become ill B die C shrink D dehydrate Question 37 Which of the following is NOT a source of water for the desert animals? A desert plants B metabolic conversion of carbohydrates in the body Trang C the blood of other animals D streams Question 38 The author states that the kangaroo rat is known for all of the following EXCEPT A the economy with which it uses available water C breathing slowly and infrequently B living without drinking water D manufacturing water internally Question 39 The word “parsimony” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A intelligence B desire C frugality D skill Question 40 It is implied by the author that desert animals can exist with little or no water because of A less need for water than other animals C their ability to eat plants B many opportunities for them to find water D their ability to adjust to the desert environment Question 41 The word “deprivation” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A preservation B renewal C examination D loss Question 42 According to the passage, the results of the experiments with kangaroo rats showed that A kangaroo rats store water for use during dry periods B kangaroo rats took advantage of free access to water C there was no significant change in body weight due to lack of water or accessibility to water D a dry diet seems detrimental to the kangaroo rat’s health Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the underlined part that needs Trang correction in each of the following questions Question 43 Those people say (A) that it is (B) such polluted air that they (C) can’t breath, (D) don’t they?

however, she did not know what to C So embarrassing the situation was that she did not know what to D She did not know what to do, though it was not an embarrassing situation Question 48 Impressed as we were by the new cinema, we found it rather expensive A We weren’t as much impressed by the new cinema’s look as its cost Trang B The new cinema was more expensive than we expected C We were very impressed by the new cinema, but found it rather expensive D We were not impressed by the new cinema at all because it looked rather expensive Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences in the following questions Question 49 You cannot completely avoid stress in your life You need to find ways to cope with it A After you can completely avoid stress in your life, you need to find ways to cope with it B As long as you can completely avoid stress in your lives, you need to find ways to cope with it C As you cannot completely avoid stress in your life, you need to find ways to cope with it D Because stress can completely be avoided in your life, you need to find ways to cope with it Question 50 The student next to me kept chewing gum That bothered me a lot A The student next to me kept chewing gum, which bothered me a lot B The student next to me kept chewing gum, that bothered me a lot C The student next to me kept chewing gum bothering me a lot D The student next to me kept chewing gum bothered me a lot Đáp án 1-B 2-B 3-A 4-B 5-B 6-B 7-C 8-B 9-A 10-A 11-B 12-A 13-C 14-C 15-D 16-B 17-B 18-A 19-C 20-C 21-C 22-B 23-D 24-B 25-B 26-A 27-B 28-D 29-C 30-B 31-D 32-C 33-A 34-B 35-A 36-B 37-D 38-C 39-C 40-D Trang 10 Đây dạng rút gọn mệnh đề trạng ngữ Dịch: Bị người cười nhạo, anh thất vọng Question 10: Đáp án A Cấu trúc:S + recommend + that + S + V (bare-inf) (thể giả định) - finish + V-ing: hồn thành làm Dịch: Giáo viên khun Linda hồn thành luận sớm Question 11: Đáp án B - No matter what = Whatever: dù có - Whether or: - Because: - Although +: Dịch: Tôi không thay đổi định dù bạn nói Question 12: Đáp án A - far-reaching (adj): có ảnh hưởng sâu rộng, tác động lớn - far-gone (adj): ốm nặng, say mềm - far-off (adj): xa xôi, xa xưa - far-flung (adj): xa, trải rộng bao la Dịch: Tổ chức trải qua cải cách lớn Question 13: Đáp án C Cấu trúc: take to doing sth ~ begin/ start to sth as a habit: bắt đầu làm thói quen Trang 13 - get to sth ~ have the opportunity to sth: có hội làm Dịch: Tơi khơng có hội gặp dì tơi tơi Paris Question 14: Đáp án C - Decrease/Increase by + %: giảm/tăng % Dịch: Xuất gạo Việt Nam năm giảm khoảng 10%, so với kỳ năm ngoái Question 15: Đáp án D - in order that/ so that + a clause: (diễn tả mục đích) A Sai ngữ pháp B Sai ngữ pháp (enable somebody to something) C Cô xây tường cao xung quanh vườn để hoa cô bị ăn trộm (Sai mặt logic nghĩa) D để ngăn cản việc hoa bị ăn trộm (prevent somebody from doing something: ngăn cản làm việc gì) Question 16: Đáp án B - be due to V: mong đợi xảy (nói kiện/ việc mong đợi xảy thời điểm cụ thể tương lai (có kèm thời gian)) - due to+ V-ing/ N ~ because of: - be bound to + V ~ certain or extremely likely to happen: chắn xảy - be about to + V ~ to be going to something very soon: sửa làm - be on the point of + V-ing ~ to be going to something very soon : sửa làm Dịch: Cuộc thi hoa hậu chắn bắt đầu lúc 30 sáng thứ tuần sau theo Trang 14 NOTE 23: * Một số cụm từ diễn tả nghĩa tương tự to be about to infinitive: - be about to + bare Verb: làm - be on the verge of/ on the brink of/ on the point of + Ving/ N : diễn tả điều hành động xảy (Tuy nhiên, cụm từ on the point of mang phong văn trang trọng cả) E.g: She is on the point of bursting into tears (Cơ ta bật khóc.) - be due to + infinitive: nói kiện/ việc mong đợi xảy thời điểm cụ thể tương lai (có kèm thời gian) E.g: The train is due to leave at 5a.m + due to + N (do, vì): dùng để đưa lý cho điều E.g: Due to illness, Mary is unable to perform tonight (Vì bị ốm nên Mary khơng thể biểu diễn tối được.) - be set to + infinitive: nói thứ xảy theo dự kiến E.g: Prices are set to rise once more - be bound/ sure/ certain to + infinitive: khẳng định điều chắn xảy tương lai E.g: The president is certain to resign (Chủ tịch chắn từ chức.)
