Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54.
Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities
proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home
after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and
depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as

the context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other
ants in either direction.
Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret
from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds
as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail
pheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice
to lead a column of ants three times around Earth.


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects
this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest
concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant
moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one
and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in
the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new
course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back
and forth down the trail.
Câu 45: What is possibly the main topic of the passage?
A. The information contained in pheromones
B. The mass migration of ants
C. How ants mark and follow a chemical trail
D. Different species of ants around the world
Câu 46: The word "forage" in line 1 is closest in meaning to________.

B. rapidly
C. periodically
D. roughly
Câu 48: The phrase "the one" refers to a single________.
A. dead ant
B. message
C. species
D. food trail
Câu 49: According to the passage, why do ants use different compounds as trail pheromones?
A. To protect their trail from other species.
B. To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals.
C. To attract different types of ants.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.
After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the
United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial
increase in enrollments in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their
enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA)
degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to
continue.


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that
many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on
Wall Street or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management
jobs are for students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as
those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, “Is an MBA degree really what I need to
be best prepared for getting a good job?” The second major factor has been the cutting of American
payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA
schools are struggling to meet the new demands.

Câu 58: Which of the following business schools has NOT shown a decrease in enrollment?
A. Princeton
B. Stanford and Princeton
C. Stanford
D. Harvard
Câu 59: The phrase “trend of ” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. reluctance of
B. movement toward
C. extraction from
D. drawback to
Câu 60: As used in the second paragraph, the word “seeking” could best be replaced by which of the
following?

C. Fewer MBA schools and fewer entry-level jobs
D. Lack of necessity for an MBA and an economic recession
Câu 63: The first paragraph is mainly concerned with which of the following?
A. A current trend affecting the nation’s business schools
B. Two decades of hard times for business schools
C. factors contributing to the decline in MBA students

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.
After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the
United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial

increase in enrollments in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their
enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA)
degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to
continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that
many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on
Wall Street or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management
jobs are for students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, “Is an MBA degree really what I need to
be best prepared for getting a good job?” The second major factor has been the cutting of American
payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA
schools are struggling to meet the new demands.

A. How schools are changing to reflect the economy
B. Jobs on Wall Street
C. Types of graduate degrees
D. Changes in enrollment for MBA schools
Câu 56: The phrase “two decades” in the first paragraph refers to a period of_________.
A. 10 years
B. 100 years
C. 50 years
D. 20 years
Câu 57: The word “prosperity” in the first paragraph could best be replaced by_________.

Câu 59: The phrase “trend of ” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to which of the following?

Câu 60: As used in the second paragraph, the word “seeking” could best be replaced by which of the

B. Fewer MBA schools and fewer entry-level jobs
C. Declining population and economic prosperity
D. Low salary and foreign competition
Câu 63: The first paragraph is mainly concerned with which of the following?
A. Two decades of hard times for business schools
B. A current trend affecting the nation’s business schools

C. factors contributing to the decline in MBA students
D. The difference between Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54.
Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these
activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant
returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on
the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse
messages as the context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed
by other ants in either direction.
Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret
from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds
as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail
pheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice
to lead a column of ants three times around Earth.
The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects
this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest
concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant
moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in
the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new
course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back
and forth down the trail.

Câu 45: What is possibly the main topic of the passage?
A. Different species of ants around the world
B. The mass migration of ants
C. How ants mark and follow a chemical trail
D. The information contained in pheromones
Câu 46: The word "forage" in line 1 is closest in meaning to________.
A. walk toward
B. look up
C. revolve around
D. search for food

A. periodically
B. incorrectly
C. roughly
D. rapidly
Câu 48: The phrase "the one" refers to a single________.
A. message
B. food trail
C. species
D. dead ant
Câu 49: According to the passage, why do ants use different compounds as trail pheromones?

B. To attract different types of ants.
C. To protect their trail from other species.

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the
United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54.
Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities

proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home
after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and
depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as
the context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other
ants in either direction.
Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret
from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds
as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail
pheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice
to lead a column of ants three times around Earth.
The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects
this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest
concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant
moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one

and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in
the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new
course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back
and forth down the trail.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.
After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity , business schools in the
United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial
increase in enrollments in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their
enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA)
degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to
continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that
many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on
Wall Street or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management
jobs are for students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as

those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, “ Is an MBA degree really what I need to
be best prepared for getting a good job?” The second major factor has been the cutting of American

payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA
schools are struggling to meet the new demands.
