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.
The Effects of Stress
There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!". This expression refers
to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and
become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health
problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse
rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory
system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important
carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food.
These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They
may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often
overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell
at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of
sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other
addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating

disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress
is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it

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.

In addition to the great ridges and volcanic chains, the oceans conceal another form of undersea
mountains: the strange guyot, or flat-topped seamount. No marine geologist even suspected the existence
of these isolated mountains until they were discovered by geologist Harry H. Hess in 1946. He was
serving at the time as naval officer on a ship equipped with a fathometer. Hess named these truncated
peaks for the nineteenth-century Swiss-born geologist Arnold Guyot, who had served on the faculty of
Princeton University for thirty years. Since then, hundreds of guyots have been discovered in every ocean
but the Arctic. Like offshore canyons, guyots present a challenge to oceanographic theory. They are
5

TRƯỜNG THPT TÂN ĐÔNG


believed to be extinct volcanoes. Their flat tops indicate that they once stood above or just below the
surface, where the action of waves leveled off their peaks. Yet today, by definition, their summits are at
least 600 feet below the surface, and some are as deep as 8,200 feet. Most lie between 3,200 feet and
6,500 feet. Their tops are not really flat but slope upward to a low pinnacle at the center. Dredging from
the tops of guyots has recovered basalt and coral rubble, and that would be expected from the eroded
tops of what were once islands. Some of this material is over 80 million years old. Geologists think the
drowning of the guyots involved two processes: The great weight of the volcanic mountains depressed
the sea floor beneath them, and the level of the sea rose a number of times, especially when the last Ice
Age ended, some 8,000 to 11.000 years ago.
Question 55. What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To trace the career of Arnold Guyot.
B. To describe feature of the undersea world.
C. To present the results of recent geologic research.
D. To discuss underwater ridges and volcano chains
Question 56. The word “conceal” in the passage is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. Contain

B. Erode

C. Hide

D. Create

Question 57. The passage implies that guyots were first detected by means of_____
A. a fathometer

B. computer analysis

C. a deep-sea diving expedition

D. research submarines

Question 58. The author indicates that Arnold Guyot
A. was Harry Hess's instructor

B. invented the fathometer

C. named the guyot after himself

D. taught at Princeton University

Question 59. What does the passage say about the Arctic Ocean?
A. The first guyot was discovered there.
B. No guyots have ever been found there.
C. There are more guyots there than in any other ocean.
D. It is impossible that guyots were ever formed there.
Question 60. The author states that offshore canyons and guyots have which of the following

A. Both are found on the ocean floor near continental shelves.
B. Both present oceanographers with a mystery.
