Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination Possible Solutions to the problem are formulated These possible Solutions are called hypotheses In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown It extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories Question 36: Which of the following is the main subject of the passage? A The importance of models in scientific theories B The sorts of facts that scientists find most interesting C The ways that scientists perform different types of experiments D The place of theory and hypothesis in scientific investigation Question 37: According to the second paragraph, a useful theory is one that helps scientists to A observe events B publicize new findings C make predictions D find errors in past experiments Question 38: The word "supported" in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A upheld B finished C adjusted D investigated Question 39: "Bricks" are mentioned in paragraph to indicate how A Science is more than a collection of facts B scientific experiments have led to improved technology C mathematicians approach Science D building a house is like performing experiments Question 40: In the fourth paragraph, the author implies that imagination is most important to scientists when they _ A formulate possible Solutions to a problem B evaluate previous work on a problem C close an investigation D gather known facts Question 41: in the last paragraph, what does the author imply is a major function of hypotheses?

A Theories are simply imaginary models of past events B A scientist's most difficult task is testing hypotheses C A good scientist needs to be Creative D It is better to revise a hypothesis than to reject it Mark the letters A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions Question 43: To remove stains from permanent press clothing, carefully soaking in cold water before (A) (B) (C) washing with a regular detergent (D) Question 44: There was a very interesting news on the radio this morning about the earthquake in Mexico (A) (B) (C) (D) Question 45: Crime invention is as crucial in the work place like it is in the home or neighborhood (A) (B) (C) (D) Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions Question 46: She gets up early to prepare breakfast so that her children can come to school on time A Despite her getting up early to prepare breakfast, her children cannot come to school on time B Because she wants her children to come to school on time, she gets up early to prepare breakfast C If she does not get up early to prepare breakfast, her children will not come to school on time D Unless she gets up early to prepare breakfast, her children will not come to school on Question 47: The last time I went to the museum was a year ago A I have not been to the museum for a year B A year ago, I often went to the museum C My going to the museum lasted a year D At last I went to the museum after a year Question 48: I think you should stop smoking A If I am you, I will stop smoking B If I had been you, I would stop smoking C If I were you, I would stop smoking D If I were you, I will stop smoking 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: John was not here yesterday Perhaps he was ill A John needn't be here yesterday because he was ill B Because of his illness, John should have been here yesterday C John might have been ill yesterday, so he was not here D John must have been ill yesterday, so he was not here Question 50: It doesn’t make any difference if it rain They will still go A The difference is their going in the rain B Whether it rains or not, they will still go C But for the rain, they would have gone D But for the rain, we would not have gone ĐÁP ÁN ĐỀ THAM KHẢO Câu Đáp án Câu Đáp án A 26 B C 27 C C 28 D B 29 C B 30 B C 31 C D 32 B D 33 A B 34 B 10 A 35 A 11 D 36 D 12 D 37 C 13 B 38 A 14 B 39 A 15 B 40 A 16 B 41 C 17 D 42 C 18 A 43 B 19 D 44 B 20 B 45 C 21 A 46 B 22 A 47 A 23 B 48 C 24 B 49 C 25 C 50 B ... án 1-B 2-B 3-B 4-C 5-C 6-C 7-B 8-C 9-C 10-A 11-B 12-D 13-A 14-C 15-C 16-C 17-A 18-A 19-B 20-B 21-A 22-A 23-B 24-A 25-A 26-A 27-C 28-B 29-D 30-D 31-D 32-A 33-C 34-C 35-C 36-D 37-A 38-D 39-B 40-A... 26-A 27-C 28-B 29-D 30-D 31-D 32-A 33-C 34-C 35-C 36-D 37-A 38-D 39-B 40-A 41-B 42-C 43-C 44-D 45-B 46-D 47-B 48-A 49-C 50-D LỜI GIẢI CHI TIẾT Câu 1: Đáp án B Kiến thức: Phát âm [u] Giải thích:... /kənˈtrɒvəsi/ (n): tranh luận, tranh cãi B argument /ˈɑːrɡjumənt/ (n): thảo luận, tranh luận C contention /kənˈtenʃən/ (n): bất đồng, ganh đua, tranh cãi D debate /dɪˈbeɪt/ (n): tranh luận, thảo luận
