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
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent language" of
every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is
important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States,
people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the
handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm
or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two
and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get
uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans
touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me." Americans like to look the
other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding
something, or are not interested. But when you are stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans,
thumbs-up means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise

one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if
you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index
finger. Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head
when they admire them. Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing. If you don't know
what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.
Câu 36: From the passage we can learn that_______.
A. It's confusing to understand a culture's body language
B. gestures can help us to express ourselves
C. American people often use body language in communication
D. gestures don't mean anything while talking

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
The peregrine falcon, a predatory bird indigenous to North America, was once in danger of extinction. In
the 1960s, scientists discovered byproducts of the pesticide DDT in the birds’ eggs, which caused them
to be too soft to survive. The use of the pesticide had been banned in the United States, but the falcons
were eating migratory birds from other places where DDT was still used. In order to increase the survival
rate, scientists were raising the birds in laboratories and then releasing them into mountainous areas. This
practice achieved only moderate success, however, because many of the birds raised in captivity could not
survive in the wild.
There is now, however, a new alternative to releases in the wild. A falcon that has been given the
name Scarlett chose to make her home on a ledge of the 33 rd floor of a Baltimore, Maryland, office
building rather than in the wild, and, to the surprise of the scientists, she has managed to live quite well in
the city. Following this example, programs have been initiated that release birds like Scarlett into cities
rather than into their natural wild habitat. These urban releases are becoming a common way to strengthen
the species. Urban homes have several benefits for the birds that wild spots do not. First, there is an
abundance of pigeons and small birds as food sources. The peregrine in the city is also protected from its

main predator, the great horned owl. Urban release programs have been very successful in reestablishing
the peregrine falcons along the East Coast. Although they are still an endangered species, their numbers
increased from about 60 nesting pairs in 1975 to about 700 pairs in 1992. In another decade the species
may flourish again, this time without human help.
Câu 43: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. endangered species
B. survival of peregrine falcons
C. harmful effects of pesticides
D. releases into the wild
Câu 44: The word “byproducts” in line 2 could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. proceeds
B. chemicals
C. elements
D. derivatives
Câu 45: In the passage, the word “banned” could be best replaced by________
A. developed
B. authorized
C. prohibited
D. disseminated
Câu 46: Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the word “rate” as used in the passage?
A. speed
B. continuation
C. percentage
D. behavior
Câu 47: Why were the peregrine falcons in danger?
Trang 4/5 - Mã đề thi 111


A. because of pesticides used by American farmers
B. because they ate birds from other countries where DDT was still used

C. because they were prized by hunters and hunted to near extinction
D. because they migrated to countries where their eggs could not survive
Câu 48: The word “releases” as used in the passage most probably means __________
A. distribution
B. regression
C. possessions
D. internment
Câu 49: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason why a falcon might choose to
live in a city?
A. There is a lack of predators.
B. There is abundant food.
C. There are other falcons nearby.
D. There are high places to nest.
