Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to the following questions

Sound moves form its source to the ear by wavelike fluctuations in air pressure, something like the crests and troughs of ocean waves Once way to keep from hearing sound is to use ear plugs Another way is to cancel out the sound with anti-sound Using a noisemarker controlled by

a microprocessor, engineers have produced sound waves that are half a wavelength out of phase with those of the noise to be quieted-each crest is matched to a trough, and vice versa Once the researchers have recorded the offending sound, a microprocessor calculates the amplitude and wavelength of sound that will cancel out the crests and troughs of noise It then produces an electric current that is amplified and fed to a loudspeaker, which produces anti-sound and wipes out the noise If the anti-sound goes out of synchronization, a microphone picks up the leftover sound and sends it back to the microprocessor, which changes the phase of the anti- sound just enough to cause complete silence

The research team has concentrated on eliminating low-frequency noise from ship engines, which causes fatigue that can impair the efficiency and alertness of the crew, and may mask the warning sounds of alarm and fog signals

A diverting people's attention from it B masking it with a louder noise

C influence ocean waves D damage loudspeakers and sound equipment Question 6 According to the passage, what group of people will probably first from the use of the microprocessor?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Whether one is awake or asleep, the brain emits electrical waves These waves occur in predictable sleep cycles that can be measured with an electroencephalograph, known more commonly as an EEG During wakefulness, the waves are recorded at about ten small waves per second, but with the onset of sleep, the waves become larger and slower The largest, slowest waves occur during the first three hours of sleep when mental activity slows down but does not

stop In fact, if awakened from slow-wave sleep, a person can often remember vague thoughts

that occurred during that period of sleep, but the sleeper does not generally dream Referred to as NREM or non-REM sleep, it is characterized by large, slow waves

During sleep, intervals of small, fast waves also occur in patterns similar to those experienced while awake The eyes move rapidly, and it appears to the observer that the sleeper

is watching some event Sleepers who are awakened during this rapid-eye-movement sleep will often recall the details of dreams they have been having Sleep of this kind is called dreaming sleep or rapid-eye-movement sleep, also known as REM sleep REM sleep is emotionally charged The heart beats irregularly, and blood pressure may be elevated In contrast, the body is so still that the dreamer may appear to be paralyzed

In a period of eight hours, most sleepers experience from three to five instances of REM sleep Each instance lasts from five to thirty minutes with an interval of at least ninety minutes between each one Later instances of REM sleep are usually of longer duration than are instances earlier in the eight-hour period

Since people who suffer sleep deprivation experience fatigue, irritability, and loss of

concentration, we must conclude that sleep is essential because in some way it regenerates the

brain and the nervous system NREM sleep increases after physical exertion, whereas REM sleep tends to increase after a stressful day Studies suggest that non-REM sleep may be especially helpful in restoring muscle control, whereas REM sleep may be more important in revitalizing

Trang 4

mental activity It appears that both kinds of sleep are necessary, and the recuperation of sleep of one kind will not compensate for a lack of the other kind of sleep

Question 34: What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?

A To describe REM sleep

B To explain sleep deprivation

C To discuss the two types of sleep

D To recommend an increase in the number of hours of sleep

Question 35: The word “vague” in line 4 could best be replaced by

A familiar B indefinite C unpleasant D detailed

Question 36: How many times per night do most sleepers experience REM sleep?

A Eight B Three to five C Five to thirty D Ninety

Question 37: The word “essential” is closest in meaning to

A planned B natural C interesting D necessary

Question 38: Which response is NOT typical of REM sleep?

A Irregular heartbeat B Dreams and visions

C Movements in arms and legs D Higher blood pressure

Question 39: The word “it” refers to

A deprivation B the brain C sleep D concentration

Question 40: What does sleeplessness result in?

A tiredness, irritability, and loss of concentration B fatigue, worry and loss of attention

C tiredness, irritability and concentration D fatigue, irritability and concentration Question 41: It can be inferred from the passage that students who are writing term papers

A require slow-wave sleep to increase mental activity

B can stay up all night working and recover the sleep they need by sleeping for a few hours the next afternoon

C need REM sleep to restore mental functioning

D do not need as much sleep because of the heightened brain waves involved in creative activity
