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.
Dolphins are one of the most intelligent species on the planet, which makes them a very interesting animal
to scientists. In their natural habitats, dolphins use various vocalization techniques. They whistle and squeak to
Trang 2/4 – Mã đề thi 001
recognize members of their pod, identify and protect their young, and call out warnings of danger. They also
make clicking sounds used for echolocation to find food and obstacles in dark and murky waters.
Amazingly, the whistling sound that the bottlenose dolphin makes has been found to have a similar
pattern to human language. They always make conversational sounds when they greet each other. If you listen
to dolphins' squeaks and squeals, it will sound like they are having a conversation.
Dolphins usually use both sound and body language to communicate with each other. It is through
gesture and body language, however, that most of their communication with humans comes. Dolphins can be
trained to perform complicated tricks. This suggests they have a high level of intelligence and communication
capacity. If they work for a long time with a trainer, they are able to recognize and understand human
commands.
A lot of dolphin communication has been studied using dolphins in captive environments. These studies
have been criticized because some marine biologists believe that dolphins living in aquariums or research
centers cannot be considered "normal." Even so, most believe that studying dolphin communication in captivity
is useful for beginning to understand the complexity of dolphin communication. After all, dolphins are one of
the most intelligent animals. Their ability to communicate is impressive and worthy of study.
Question 31: What would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Communications in dolphins B. Intelligent mammals in captivity
C. Dolphins' social tendencies with humans D. Complex patterns in dolphin life
Question 32: In line 2, the word vocalization is closest in meaning to____________.
A. making gestures B. creating words C. producing sounds D. closing eyes
Question 33: According to paragraph 4, what do some marine biologists think about captive dolphins?
A. Their relationships are too personal with marine biologists.
B. They can't be considered accurate subjects for biological studies.
C. They can communicate exactly the same as humans do.
D. They easily demonstrate how dolphins act in the wild.
Question 34: All of the following are true about dolphin communication EXCEPT____________
A. dolphins' squeals and squeaks sound conversational to the human ear
B. dolphins' clicking sounds are sometimes used to greet humans
C. communication using sounds and gestures occurs between dolphins
D. body language and gestures are used for communication with humans
Question 35: In line 17, the word “most” refers to ____________
A. the majority of marine biologists B. a few bottlenose dolphins
C. a lot of bottlenose dolphins D. the minority of marine biologists
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 36 to 42.
Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better when there
is a greater variety of species within them. This biodiversity is being lost destroying natural mechanisms that
could repair the damage caused by man.
Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but actually
endangering our very existence. We cut down rich rainforests and replace them with one species plantations,
such as pine and eucalyptus. We plough up meadows rich in different grasses and herbs and replace them with
one grass, for instance rye or wheat.
When a natural ecosystem is simplified the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered and even
damaged. Without their biodiversity, they are not able to serve as the natural cleaners of our planet. No longer
are they able to absorb the carbon dioxide that is being produced in excess. The result is global warming,
caused by the increase in the 'greenhouse effect', and ultimately, or even sooner, there will be a change in the
world's climate.
Question 36: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. How Ecosystems Work Better B. The Loss of Biodiversity
