III. Read the passage and choose the correct answer (10 points):
The languages spoken by early Europeans are still shrouded in mystery. There is no linguistic continuity
between the languages of Old Europe (a term sometimes used for Europe between 7,000 and 3,000 B.C.) and the
languages of the modern world, and we cannot yet translate the Old European script. Scholars have deciphered other
ancient languages, such as Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian, which used the cuneiform script, because of the
fortuitous discovery of bilingual inscriptions. When cuneiform tablets were first discovered in the 18
th
century, scholars
could not decipher them. Then inscriptions found in Iran at the end of the 18
th
century provided a link: these inscriptions
were written in cuneiform and in two other ancient languages, Old Persian and New Elamite – languages that had
already been deciphered. It took several decades, but scholars eventually translated the ancient cuneiform script via the
more familiar Old Persian language.
Similarly, the hieroglyphic writing of the Egyptians remained a mystery until French troops unearthed the
famous Rosetta stone in the late 18
th
century. The stone carried the same message written in ancient Greek, Egyptian
hieroglyphs, and Egyptian hieratic, a simplified form of hieroglyphs. The Rosetta stone thwarted scholars’ efforts for
several decades until the early 19

th
century when several key hieroglyphic phrases were decoded using the Greek
inscriptions. Unfortunately, we have no Old European Rosetta stone to chart correspondences between Old European
script and the languages that replaced it.
The incursions of Indo-European tribes into Old Europe from the late 5
th
to the early 3
rd
millennia B.C. caused a
linguistic and cultural discontinuity. These incursions disrupted the Old European sedentary farming lifestyle that had
existed for 3,000 years. As the Indo-Europeans encroached on Old Europe from the east, the continent underwent
upheavals. These severely affected the Balkans, where the Old European cultures abundantly employed script. The Old
European way of life deteriorated rapidly, although pockets of Old European cultural remained for several millennia. The
new peoples spoke completely different languages belonging to the Indo-European linguistic family. The Old European
language or languages, and the script used to write them, declined and eventually vanished.
61. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Reason for the failure to understand the written records of Old European culture.
B. Influences on the development of Old European script.
C. Similarities between Old European script and other ancient writing systems.
D. Events leading to the discovery of Old European script.
62. According to the passage, New Elamite is _________.
A. a language that was used in Europe about 3,000 years ago
B. a modern language that came from Old Persian
C. one of the languages spoken by the Old Europeans
Prepared by Mr. Nguyen Tien Thanh – Pham Cong Binh High School – - 2 -
D. a language that was understood by the late 18
th
century
63. When does the passage suggest that ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic script was finally deciphered?
A. At around the same time as cuneiform script was deciphered.

B. Shortly before the Rosetta stone was unearthed.
C. As soon as additional bilingual inscriptions became available to scholars.
D. A few decades after the hieratic script was decoded.
64. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE of the Rosetta stone?
A. It was found by scholars trying to decode ancient languages.
B. It contains two versions of hieroglyphic script.
C. Several of its inscriptions were decoded within a few months of its discovery.
D. Most of its inscriptions have still not been decoded.
65. According to the passage, scholars were able to decipher cuneiform form with the help of _________.
A. the Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian languages B. Old Persian
C. tablets written in Old European D. languages spoken in 18
th

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions.
Prepared by Mr. Nguyen Tien Thanh – Pham Cong Binh High School – - 6 -
The brain is the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals. Some primitive
animals such as jellyfish and starfish have a decentralized nervous system without a brain, while sponges lack any
nervous system at all. In vertebrates the brain is located in the head, protected by the skull and close to the primary
sensory apparatus of vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell.
Brains can be extremely complex. The cerebral cortex of the human brain contains roughly 15–33 billion neurons,

perhaps more, depending on gender and age,

linked with up to 10,000 synaptic connections each. Each cubic
millimeter of cerebral cortex contains roughly one billion synapses. These neurons communicate with one another by
means of long protoplasmic fibers called axons, which carry trains of signal pulses called action potentials to distant
parts of the brain or body and target them to specific recipient cells.
The brain controls the other organ systems of the body, either by activating muscles or by causing secretion of
chemicals such as hormones and neurotransmitters. This centralized control allows rapid and coordinated responses to
changes in the environment. Some basic types of responsiveness are possible without a brain: even single-celled
organisms may be capable of extracting information from the environment and acting in response to it. Sponges, which
lack a central nervous system, are capable of coordinated body contractions and even locomotion. In vertebrates, the
spinal cord by itself contains neural circuitry capable of generating reflex responses as well as simple motor patterns
such as swimming or walking. However, sophisticated control of behavior on the basis of complex sensory input
requires the information-integrating capabilities of a centralized brain.
Despite rapid scientific progress, much about how brains work remains a mystery. The operations of individual
neurons and synapses are now understood in considerable detail, but the way they cooperate in ensembles of
thousands or millions has been very difficult to decipher. Methods of observation such as EEG recording and functional
brain imaging tell us that brain operations are highly organized, while single unit recording can resolve the activity of
single neurons, but how individual cells give rise to complex operations is unknown.
