ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS Paul Watson is an environmental activist. He is a man who believes that he must do something, not just talk about doing something. Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and he protects them in controversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much. Other people think that he is a criminal. On July 16th, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea Shepherd. Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal. However, they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra. The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea. The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada. Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful. The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crew of the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten. Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra. However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal whaling ship, and he sank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales must be protected. Still, he acted without the approval of the government; therefore, his actions were controversial. Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fighting to protect the Earth.

PASSAGE B A book is a collection of leaves of paper, parchment or other material, bound together along one edge within covers. A book produced in electronic format is known as e- book. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph to distinguish it from serial publications such as magazines, journals or newspapers. A book may be studied by students in the form of a book report. It may also covered by a professional writer as a book review to introduce a new book. When writing systems were invented in ancient civilizations, clay tablets or parchment scrolls were used as books, for example, in the library of Alexandria. Before the invention and adoption of the printing press, almost all books were copied by hand, which made books comparatively expensive and rare. During the early Middle Ages, when only churches, universities, and rich noblemen could typically afford books, there were often chained to a bookshelf or a desk to prevent theft. 61. A book ………..

  19. ĐỀ THI CUỐI KỲ I NĂM 2011 – ĐỀ 5 A/ Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. Adesert is a hostile, potentially deadly environment for unprepared humans. In hot deserts, high temperatures cause rapid loss of water due to sweating, and the absence of water sources with which to replenish it can result in dehydration and death within a few days. In addition, unprotected humans are also at risk from heatstroke. Humans may also have to adapt to sandstorms in some deserts, not just in their adverse effects on respiratory systems and eyes, but also in their potentially harmful effects on equipment such as filters, vehicles and communication equipment. Sandstorms can last for hours, sometimes even days. Despite this, some cultures have made hot deserts 'their home for thousands of years, including the Bedouin, Tuareg tribe, and Pueblo people. Modern technology, including advanced irrigation systems, desalinization and air conditioning, has made deserts much more hospitable, In the United States and Israel for example, desert farming has found extensive use. In cold deserts, hypothermia and frostbite are the chief hazards, as well as dehydration in the absence of a source of heat to melt ice for drinking. Falling through pack-ice or surface ice layers into freezing water is a particular danger requiring emergency action to prevent rapid hypothermia. Starvation is also a hazard; in low temperatures the body requires much more food energy to maintain body heat and to move. As with hot deserts, some people such as the Inuit have adapted to the harsh conditions of cold deserts. 1. The text is about ________. a. troubles that human beings have to face in a desert b. desert storms and desert inhabitants c. hot deserts and cold deserts in the United States d. desert hospitality and environment 2. Which is not a problem for an unprepared man in a hot desert? a. sandstorm b. loss of water c. irrigation d. heatstroke 3. Sandstorms ________. a. do no harm to machinery b. have effects only on the eyes c. never lasts more than one hour d. have bad effects on both human beings and machinery 4. Which sentence is true? a. No one can survive in both hot and cold deserts. b. Modern technology makes deserts more hospitable. c. In the United States, all deserts are quite uninhabited. d. There are no deserts in Israel. 5. Which is not a problem in cold deserts? a. Starvation b. Hypothermia c. Frostbite d. Body heat B/ Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. A pproximately one-third of the Earth's land surface is desert, arid land with meager rainfall that supports only sparse vegetation and a limited population of people and animals. Deserts have been portrayed as fascinating environments of adventure and exploration. These arid regions are called deserts because they are dry. They may be hot. They may be cold. They may be regions of sand or vast areas of rocks with occasional plants. Deserts are natural laboratories in which to study the interactions of wind and sometimes water on the arid surfaces of planets. They contain valuable mineral deposits that were formed in the arid Page 1
  20. ĐỀ THI CUỐI KỲ I NĂM 2011 – ĐỀ 5 environment or that were exposed by erosion. Because deserts are dry, they are ideal places for human artifacts and fossils to be preserved. Deserts are also fragile environments. The misuse of these lands is a serious and growing problem in parts of our world. There are many animals in the desert. Some are very large, like the kangaroo or the gazelle. Both are big and have to travel long distances for water at a spring, or an oasis. Another fairly large animal is the addax. The addax is a desert antelope. They live in the Sahara Desert. All addaxes are herbivores. There are less than 200 of them left because of hunting and tourists. Some animals crawl along. Examples of these are snakes and lizards. Snakes rarely drink water; they get their moisture from other prey that they eat. So do others, like the kangaroo rat. Lizards are commonly found in the desert. They stay out of the sun and move as little as possible. There are also other animals in the desert. The fennec lives in northern Africa in the Sahara Desert. They are a relative of the fox. They eat mice, small birds, lizards, and insects. When necessary, they will eat fruit. One more desert animal is the jerboa. The jerboa is a small, long distance jumper that lives in the desert. They are free drinking animals and they eat plants, seeds, and bugs. 1. Deserts ________. a. are rare in the world b. are more arid more populous c. are all hot all the time d. may be both hot and cold 2. The word They refers to ________. a. deserts b. natural laboratories c. planets d. mineral deposits 3. Which is not true about deserts? a. arid b. hot c. humid d. dry 4. According to the second paragraph, ________. a. we should use desert land properly to avoid serious problems b. we can exploit as much fossil as possible in deserts c. there are no erosion in deserts d. deserts are ideal places for growing land 5. The last paragraph expresses that ________. a. none of animals can survive in deserts b. hunting and tourists cause the decreasing of addaxes in the Sahara Desert. c. snakes in deserts need more water than any other species d. addaxes are the most populous species in deserts UNIT 10: ENDANGERED SPECIES A/ Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. S pecies that belong to an area are said to be native species. Typically, they have been part of a given biological landscape for a long period, and they are well adapted to the local environment and to the presence of other native species in the same general habitat. Exotic species are interlopers, foreign elements introduced intentionally or accidentally into new settings through human activities. In one context an introduced species may cause no obvious problems and may, over time, be regarded as being just as "natural" as any native species in the same habitat. In another context, exotics may seriously disrupt delicate ecological balances and create a cascade of unintended consequences. The worst of these unintended consequences arise when introduced species put native species in destruction by preying on them, altering their habitats, or out-competing them in the struggle for food resources. Although biological introductions have affected environments the world over, the most destructive, effects have occurred on islands, where Page 2
