Most of us spend the<br /> majority of our time indoors, typing away at computers and fiddling with digital devices. All the while, we are<br /> destroying the planet’s natural beauty by cutting down forests and building cities in their place. In an effort to<br /> preserve nature for future generations, national parks were created.<br /> The primary function of national parks is conservation. In many cases, it is a matter of national pride for<br /> countries to protect their indigenous species. Although several nations considered opening national parks, the US<br /> was the first country to officially do so when Yellowstone Park opened in 1872. This designation made the federal<br /> government responsible for taking care of the territory. Soon after, national parks started to open in Australia,<br /> New Zealand, Europe, and eventually across the globe. Today, almost 100 countries have established their own<br /> national parks. In total, there are over 6,500 worldwide.<br /> There are several incredible national parks that have a lot to offer. Kruger National Park in South Africa at<br /> 19,633 square kilometers is one of the largest game reserves. Tourists can go on safari and witness elephants,<br /> rhinoceroses, lions, and several other large mammals in their natural environments. At 75,000 square miles, the<br /> Northeast Greenland National Park is the world’s largest. In fact, it is larger than all but 30 countries in the world.<br /> Trang 2/4 - Mã đề thi 210<br /> <br /> Despite differences in names, location, and rules, most natural parks have certain traits in common. For one,<br /> they are usually open to visitors throughout the year. Those who come to the park can take part in a wide scope of<br /> outdoor activities including hiking, camping, cycling, bird watching, and fishing. Other options may include<br /> horseback riding, rafting, or scuba diving if the territory is suitable. In most places, visitors are encouraged not to<br /> feed the animals. The purpose for this law is twofold: to protect the animals as well as those who might feed them.<br /> Animals also have strict dietary needs, so feeding them exotic foods could make them sick. Feeding wild animals<br /> could also cause them to aggressively pester humans they encounter in the future for food. However, as long as<br /> you follow the rules, you are assured of having a great time at whichever national park you visit.<br /> Câu 31: What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?<br /> A.

The score is determined by how well you read lines of letters of different sizes from 20 feet away. But<br /> being able to read the bottom line on the eye chart does not approximate perfection as far as other species are<br /> concerned. Most birds would consider us very visually handicapped. The hawk, for instance, has such sharp eyes<br /> that it can spot a dime on the sidewalk while perched on top of the Empire State Building. It can make fine visual<br /> distinctions because it is blessed with one million cones per square millimeter in its retina. And in water, humans<br /> are farsighted, while the kingfisher, swooping down to spear fish, can see well in both the air and water because it<br /> is endowed with two foveae – areas of the eye, consisting mostly of cones, that provide visual distinctions. One<br /> foveae permits the bird, while in the air, to scan the water below with one eye at a time. This is called monocular<br /> vision. Once it hits the water, the other fovea joins in, allowing the kingfisher to focus both eyes, like binoculars,<br /> on its prey at the same time. A frog’s vision is distinguished by its ability to perceive things as a constant motion<br /> picture. Known as “bug detectors”, a highly developed set of cells in a frog’s eyes responds mainly to moving<br /> objects. So, it is said that a frog sitting in a field of dead bugs wouldn’t see them as food and would starve.<br /> The bee has a “compound” eye, which is used for navigation. It has 15,000 facets that divide what it sees into a<br /> pattern of dots, or mosaic. With this kind of vision, the bee sees the sun only as a single dot, a constant point of<br /> reference. Thus, the eye is a superb navigational instrument that constantly measures the angle of its line of flight<br /> in relation to the sun. A bee’s eye also gauges flight speed. And if that is not enough to leave our 20/20 “perfect<br /> vision” paling into insignificance, the bee is capable of seeing something we can’t – ultraviolet light. Thus, what<br /> humans consider to be “perfect vision” is in fact rather limited when we look at other species. However, there is<br /> still much to be said for the human eye. Of all the mammals, only humans and some primates can enjoy the<br /> pleasures of color vision.<br /> Câu 44: What does the passage mainly discuss?<br /> A. Limits of the human eye<br /> B. Perfect vision<br /> C. Different eyes for different uses<br /> D. Eye variation among different species<br /> Câu 45: The phrase “without a hitch” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.<br /> A. easily<br /> B. unaided<br /> C. with little hesitation D. without glasses<br /> Câu 46: According to the passage, why might birds and animals consider humans very visually handicapped?<br /> A. Human eyes are not as well suited to our needs.<br /> B. The main outstanding feature of human eyes is color vision.<br /> C. Human eyes can’t do what their eyes can do.<br /> D. Humans can’t see very well in either air or water.<br /> Câu 47: The word “that” in paragraph 1 refers to ______.<br /> A. air and water<br /> B. cones<br /> C. foveae<br /> D. visual distinctions<br /> Câu 48: According to the passage, “bug detectors” are useful for ______.<br /> A. avoiding starvation<br /> B. navigation<br /> C. avoiding bugs when getting food<br /> D. seeing moving objects<br /> Câu 49: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?<br /> A. Bees see patterns of dots.<br /> B. Kingfishers have monocular vision.<br /> C. Hawks eyes consist mostly of cones that can allow it to scan with one eye at a time.<br /> D. Humans are farsighted in water.<br /> Câu 50: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?<br /> A. Humans should not envy what they don’t need.<br /> B. Eyes have developed differently in each species.<br /> C. Perfect vision is not perfect.<br /> D. Bees have the most complex eye.<br /> ----------- HẾT ---------Thí sinh không được sử dụng tài liệu.
