answer to each of the questions from 15 to 22.
Fossils are the remains and traces (such as footprints or other marks) of ancient plant and animal life that are

more than 10,000 years old. They range in size from microscopic structures to dinosaur skeletons and complete
bodies of enormous animals. Skeletons of extinct species of human are also considered fossils.
An environment favorable to the growth and later preservation of organisms is required for the occurrence of
fossils. Two conditions are almost always present: (1) The possession of hard parts, either internal or external, such
as bones, teeth, scales, shells, and wood; these parts remain after the rest of the organism has decayed. Organisms
that lack hard parts, such as worms and jelly fish, have left a meager geologic record. (2) Quick burial of the dead
organism, so that protection is afforded against weathering, bacterial action, and scavengers.
Nature provides many situations in which the remains of animals and plants are protected against destruction.
Of these, marine sediment is by far the most important environment for the preservation of fossils, owing to the
incredible richness of marine life. The beds of former lakes are also prolific sources of fossils. The rapidly
accumulating sediments in the channels, floodplains, and deltas of streams bury fresh-water organisms, along with
land plants and animals that fall into the water. The beautifully preserved fossil fish from the Green River soil shale
of Wyoming in the western United States lived in a vast shallow lake.

The frigid ground in the far north acts as a remarkable preservative for animal fossils. Woolly mammoths, a
long-haired rhinoceros, and other mammals have been periodically exposed in the icy land of Siberia, the hair and
red flesh still frozen in cold storage.
Volcanoes often provide environments favorable to fossil preservation. Extensive falls of volcanic ash and
coarser particles overwhelm and bury all forms of life, from flying insects to great trees.
Caves have preserved the bones of many animals that died in them and were subsequently buried under a
blanket of clay or a cover of dripstone. Predatory animals and early humans alike sought shelter in caves and
brought food to them to eat, leaving bones that paleontologists have discovered.
Câu 15: The passage primarily discusses which of the following?
A. What is learned from studying fossils
B. Conditions favorable to the preservation of fossils
C. How fossils are discovered
D. Types of fossils found in different climates

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 34 to 40.
As computers have become powerful tools for the rapid and economic production of pictures, computer graphics
has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing fields in computer science. It is used routinely in such diverse
areas as business, industry, art, government, education, research, training, and medicine.
One of the initial uses of computer graphics, and ultimately its greatest use, has been as an aid to design,
generally referred to as computer-aided design (CAD). One of its greatest advantages is that designers can see how
an object will look after construction and make changes freely and much more quickly than with hand drafting. For

three-dimensional rendering of machine parts, engineers now rely heavily on CAD. Automobile, spacecraft,
aerospace, and ship designers use CAD techniques to design vehicles and test their performance. Building designs
are also created with computer graphics systems. Architects can design a building layout, create a threedimensional model, and even go for a simulated "walk" through the rooms or around the outside of the building.
Business graphics is another rapidly growing area of computer graphics, where it is used to create graphs,
charts, and cost models to summarize financial, statistical, mathematical, scientific, and economic data. As an
educational aid, computer graphics can be used to create weather maps and cartographic materials. Computer art
also has creative and commercial art applications, where it is used in advertising, publishing, and film productions,
particularly for computer animation, which is achieved by a sequential process.
Câu 34: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Routine use of computers
B. The rapidly growing field of computer science
C. Computers as the architects of the future
D. Computer graphics applications
Câu 35: The word “It” in bold refers to
A. computers
B. fields
C. computer science
D. computer graphics
Câu 36: According to the passage, architects use CAD to
A. inspect buildings
B. create three-dimensional models
C. create graphs
D. make cartographic materials
Câu 37: According to the passage, engineers use CAD for
A. a simulated “walk” through model rooms.
B. rendering machine parts
C. making cost models
D. advertising
Câu 38: The word “applications” in bold means
A. creativity

B. layers
C. uses
D. jobs
Câu 39: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a use of computer graphics in business?
A. Charts
