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 35 to 44.
Bird migration is one of the most interesting yet least understood natural phenomena. Every fall birds
from northern latitudes fly in groups to the warmer southern latitudes and then return north in the spring.
Scientists agree on the main reasons for migration: to follow the food supply and to avoid harsh climate
conditions. For example, insects disappear during the cold months, prompting insect-dependent birds to fly south
to warm areas where insects breed. No similar consensus has emerged, however, about how birds are able to

navigate. Despite many recent experiments, bird experts still do not know how birds arrive at the same
destinations every year and then find their way back home in the spring.
Some have suggested that birds find their way by following landmarks, such as rivers and mountain
ranges. Experiments have confirmed that some species do follow such topographic features. But that method
cannot explain how some birds travel at night. Other studies show that some nocturnal birds navigate by the stars.
But that explanation cannot explain daytime migration or travel when the skies are cloudy.
The most popular explanation currently is that birds are guided by Earth’s magnetic poles. The mechanism
by which that works has not yet been proved. One theory points to the fact that some birds’ contain magnetite, a
naturally occurring magnetic compound consisting of iron oxide. Magnetite has been found in many animals,
including birds. With magnets embedded in their brains, birds would be able to sense the magnetic fields of the
North and South Poles.
A recent experiment with homing pigeons provided some evidence that magnetite does play a crucial role
in migration. Homing pigeons are known to have the ability to return to their homes after being taken hundreds
of miles away. Researchers found that they could train homing pigeons to recognize changes in a magnetic field.

When a surrounding magnetic field was normal, the birds would gather at one end of a cage. But when the field’s
polarity was altered, they hopped to the other end, suggesting that they were directing and responding to changes
in the magnetic field.
Another theory has been offered to explain this sensitivity to magnetic poles, a theory that draws upon
quantum mechanics, which is the study of how particles move inside an atom. It relies on the fact that electrons
come in pairs that orbits the nucleus of an atom. The two electrons spin in opposite directions, creating two
magnets that neutralize each other. But when molecules split and react with other molecules to form compounds,
the electrons pairs may no longer spin in opposite directions. Instead, they may repel each other, as when two
north ends of magnets are pressed together. The electrons struggle to change direction in order to achieve a stable
state in which the two electrons again neutralize each other, giving off no magnetic field.

Charles Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1902 but was raised on a farm in Minnesota, where his
father was elected to the U.S. Congress in 1907. From then on, he spent his boyhood alternately in Washington,
D.C, and Little Falls, Minnesota. Because Lindbergh exhibited exceptional mechanical talent, in 1921 he was
admitted to the university of Wisconsin to study engineering. However the young man was seeking more
challenging endeavors, and two years later he became a stunt pilot who performed feats at county fairs and public
assemblies. This unusual and dangerous undertaking paid off handsomely in the sense that it allowed him to

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

gain a diverse and well- rounded experience in aeronautics. He particularly delighted in what he called "wingwalking" and parachute jumping.
After a year of training as a military cadet, Lindbergh completed his program at the Brooks and Kelly
airfields at the top of his class and earned the rank of captain. Roberton Aircraft Corporation of St. Louis,
Missouri, offered him employment as a mail pilot to run the routes between St. Louis and Chicago, and Lindbergh
retained his position with the company until 1927. During this period, he set out to win the Raymond B. Orteig
prize of $ 25,000 to be awarded to the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to Paris. This ambition would
irreversibly change his life and accord him a prominent place in the history of aviation.
Embarking on the greatest adventure of his time, Lindbergh left Roosevelt Field at 7:52 A.M on May, 20,
1927, and landed at Bourget Field at 5:24 P.M the next day. Fearing that he would be unknown when he arrived,
Lindbergh carried letters of introduction to dignitaries in Paris, but when his plane came to a stop, he was
overwhelmed by tremendous welcoming crowds. He was decorated in France, Great Britain, and Belgium, and
President Coolidge sent a specially designated cruiser, the Memphis, to bring him back. His accomplishments in
aeronautics brought him more medals and awards than had ever been received by any other person in private life.
Question 55: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Benchmark Adventure in Aeronautics

B. The early life of Charles Lindbergh

C. Groundbreaking Events in Aviation

D. Charles Lindbergh' s Explorations

Question 56: According to the passage, Linbergh did not complete his degree because he.
A. opted for the life of an exhibition pilot.

B. pursued training in the military.

C was seeking for a sedentary life- style

D. set out to win recognition.

Question 57: The word “ assemblies” is closet in meaning to
A. hearings

B. houses

C. gatherings

D. shows

Question 58: The word “handsomely” is closest in meaning to
A. honorably

B. handily

C. well

D. in time

Question 59: The word “undertaking” refers to
A. studying at the university.

B. exhibiting mechanical talent.

C. seeking challenging endeavors.

D. performing feats.

Question 60: It can be inferred from the passage that as a military cadet, Lindbergh
A. was in top form.

PART I. MULTIPLE-CHOICE (8.0 POINTS)

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 1 to 10.
My family consists of four people. There’s my father whose name is Jan, my mother whose name
is Marie, my brother, Peter and of course, me. I have quite a large extended family as well but, only the
four of us live together in our apartment in a block of flats. My father is fifty-two years old. He works as
an accountant in an insurance company. He is tall and slim, has got short brown and gray hair and blue
eyes. My father likes gardening very much as well as listening to music and reading books about political
science. His special hobbies are bird watching and travelling.
Now I’ll describe my mother and my brother. My mother is forty-seven and she works as a nurse
in a hospital. She is small, and slim, has short brown hair and green eyes. She likes bird watching and
travelling too, so whenever my parents are able to they go some place interesting for nature watching.
Since we have a cottage with a garden they both spend a lot of time there. My brother is sixteen. He is
slim and has short brown hair and blue eyes. He also attends high school. He is interested in computers
and sports like football and hockey. He also spends a lot of time with his friends.
I have only one grandmother left still living. She is in pretty good health even at the age of
seventy-eight so she still lives in her own flat. I enjoy spending time with her when I can. Both my
grandfathers died from cancer because they were smokers, which was really a great tragedy because I
didn’t get chance to know them. My other grandmother died just a few years ago. I also have a lot of
aunts, uncles, and cousins. The cousin I’m closest to is my uncle’s daughter Pauline. We have a lot in
common because we are both eighteen and so we are good friends.
My parents have assigned me certain duties around the house. I don’t mind helping out because
everyone in a family should contribute in some way. I help with the washing up, the vacuuming and the
shopping. Of course I also have to help keep my room tidy as well. My brother is responsible for the


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

dusting and mopping. He also has to clean his own room. Even though my brother and I sometimes fight
about who has to do what job, we are still very close. I am also very close to my parents and I can rely on
them to help me. My patents work together to keep our home well maintained and it seem they always

have a project or another that they are working on. They respect each other’s opinions and even if they
disagree they can always come to a compromise. I hope in the future that I have a family like ours.

We are descendants of the ice age. Periods of glaciation have spanned the whole of human
existence for the past 2 million years. The rapid melting of the continental glaciers at the end of the last
ice age spurred one of the most dramatic climate changes in the history of the planet. During this interglacial time, people were caught up in a cataclysm of human accomplishment, including the development
of agriculture and animal husbandry. Over the past few thousand years, the Earth’s climate has been
extraordinarily beneficial, and humans have prospered exceedingly well under a benign atmosphere.

Ice ages have dramatically affected life on Earth almost from the very beginning. It is even
possible that life itself significantly changed the climate. All living organisms pull carbon dioxide out of
the atmosphere and eventually store it in sedimentary rocks within the Earth’s crust. If too much carbon
dioxide is lost, too much heat escapes out into the atmosphere. This can cause the Earth to cool enough
for glacial ice to spread across the land.
In general the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been equalized by the
input of carbon dioxide from such events as volcanic eruptions. Man, however, is upsetting the equation
by burning fossil fuels and destroying tropical rain forests, both of which release stored carbon dioxide.
This energizes the greenhouse effect and causes the Earth to warm. If the warming is significant enough,
the polar ice caps eventually melt.
The polar ice caps drive the atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems. Should the ice caps melt,
warm tropical waters could circle the globe and make this a very warm, inhospitable planet.
Over the past century, the global sea level has apparently risen upwards of 6 inches, mainly
because of the melting of glacial ice. If present warming trends continue, the seas could rise as much as 6
feet by the next century. This could flood coastal cities and fertile river deltas, where half the human
population lives. Delicate wetlands, where many marine species breed, also would be reclaimed by the
sea. In addition, more frequent and severe storms would batter coastal areas, adding to the disaster of the
higher seas.
The continued melting of the great ice sheets in polar regions could cause massive amounts of ice
to crash into the ocean. This would further raise the sea level and release more ice, which could more than

double the area of sea ice and increase correspondingly the amount of sunlight reflected back into space.
The cycle would then be complete as this could cause global temperatures to drop enough to initiate another
ice age.
Question 21. According to the passage, carbon dioxide is stored in each of the following EXCEPT
A. polar ice caps.

B. sedimentary rocks. C. rain forests. D. fossil fuel.

Question 22. What does the final paragraph of the passage mainly discuss?
A. The relationship between the ocean and the sun
B. The amount of sunlight reflected into space
C. A rise in global temperatures
D. The conditions that could lead to an ice age
Question 23. Which of the following does the author NOT mention as a consequence of a large rise in
global sea level?
A. The destruction of wetlands

B. The flooding of cities

C. A more diverse marine population

D. Severe storms

Question 24. According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the Earth’s
climate?
A. Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures cause the ice melt.

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 40 to 49).
My family consists of four people. There’s my father whose name is Jan, my mother whose
name is Marie, my brother, Peter and of course, me. I have quite a large extended family as well but,
only the four of us live together in our apartment in a block of flats. My father is fifty-two years old.
He works as an accountant in an insurance company. He is tall and slim, has got short brown and
gray hair and blue eyes. My father likes gardening very much as well as listening to music and
reading books about political science. His special hobbies are bird watching and travelling.

Now I’ll describe my mother and my brother. My mother is forty-seven and she works as a
nurse in a hospital. She is small, and slim, has short brown hair and green eyes. She likes bird
watching and travelling too, so whenever my parents are able to they go some place interesting for
nature watching. Since we have a cottage with a garden they both spend a lot of time there. My
brother is sixteen. He is slim and has short brown hair and blue eyes. He also attends high school.
He is interested in computers and sports like football and hockey. He also spends a lot of time with
his friends.
I have only one grandmother left still living. She is in pretty good health even at the age of
seventy-eight so she still lives in her own flat. I enjoy spending time with her when I can. Both my
grandfathers died from cancer because they were smokers, which was really a great tragedy
because I didn’t get chance to know them. My other grandmother died just a few years ago. I also
have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins. The cousin I’m closest to is my uncle’s daughter Pauline.
We have a lot in common because we are both eighteen and so we are good friends.
My parents have assigned me certain duties around the house. I don’t mind helping out because
everyone in a family should contribute in some way. I help with the washing up, the vacuuming and
the shopping. Of course I also have to help keep my room tidy as well. My brother is responsible
for the dusting and mopping. He also has to clean his own room. Even though my brother and I
sometimes fight about who has to do what job, we are still very close. I am also very close to my
