Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction. Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth.
  4. VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail. Câu 45: What is possibly the main topic of the passage? A. The information contained in pheromones B. The mass migration of ants C. How ants mark and follow a chemical trail D. Different species of ants around the world Câu 46: The word "forage" in line 1 is closest in meaning to________.

To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals. C. To attract different types of ants. D. To indicate how far away the food is. Câu 50: The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant in the second paragraph to point out________. A. how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail B. the different types of pheromones ants can produce C. that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone D. a type of ant that is common in many parts of the world Câu 51: According to the passage, how are ants guided by trail pheromones? A. They sense the vapor through their antennae. B. They avoid the vapor spaces by moving in a straight line. C. They follow an ant who is familiar with the trail. D. They concentrate on the smell of food. Câu 52: The word "furnish" is closest in meaning to________. A. include B. cover C. select D. provide Câu 53: The word "oscillating" is closest in meaning to________. A. falling B. starting C. swinging D. depositing Câu 54: According to the passage, the highest amount of pheromone vapor is found________.

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollments in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue.
  5. VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are for students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, “Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?” The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered.

Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction. Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth. The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one
  16. VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail. Câu 45: What is possibly the main topic of the passage? A. Different species of ants around the world B.

To attract different types of ants. C. To protect their trail from other species. D. To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals.

A. the different types of pheromones ants can produce B. a type of ant that is common in many parts of the world C. that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone D. how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail Câu 51: According to the passage, how are ants guided by trail pheromones?

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollments in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue. There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are for students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, “Is an MBA degree really what I need to
  17. VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí be best prepared for getting a good job?” The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered.
