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 below.
WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE?
Everyone is different - but for many years, students have been asking questions about their learning
styles. If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses a
new word, you want to see it written immediately, then you are very likely to be a more visual learner.
You prefer to see the written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual learners often think in
pictures. If you find a particular task or text difficult, look for sources that will suit your learning style,
for example sources with illustrations, charts, tables, or videos.
If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you memorize something by
repeating it aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a more auditory learner. You
prefer to learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often learn best from lectures, discussions,
by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material.
However, it is probably that you, like most people, learn through a mixture of styles. Sometimes you
may prefer to learn by reading, at other time by listening. Ask yourself which is the best style for the
particular task you are doing.
Question 39. Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Different learning styles
B. Auditory learners prefer to learn by listening and speaking
C. Visual learners often think in pictures.
D. The best style for the particular task
Question 40. What does the word "it" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. the written word B. the note C. the new word D. the lecture

A. Most people are auditory learners.
B. Auditory learners prefer listening to speaking.
C. When learning something by heart, an auditory learner prefers reading it out loud.

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 below.
GLOBAL WARMING
The temperature of the Earth is rising at nearly twice the rate it was 50 years ago. This rapid rate and
pattern of warming, scientists have concluded, cannot be explained by natural cycles alone. The only
way to explain the pattern is to include the effect of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by humans.
To come to a conclusion on climate change, the United Nations formed a group of scientists called
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. The IPCC meets every few years to review
the latest scientific findings and write a report summarizing all that is known about global warming. Each
report represents a consensus, or agreement, among hundreds of leading scientists.
One of the first things the IPCC learned is that there are several greenhouse gases responsible for
warming, and humans emit them in a variety of ways. Most come from the combustion of fossil fuels in
cars, factories and electricity production. The gas responsible for the most warming is carbon dioxide,
also called CO2. Other contributors include methane released from landfills and agriculture, especially
from the digestive systems of grazing animals, nitrous oxide from fertilizers, gases used for refrigeration
Page 5 of 5 – Mã đề 601
and industrial processes, and the loss of forests that would otherwise store CO2.
Different greenhouse gases have very different heat-trapping abilities. Some of them can even trap
more heat than CO2. A molecule of methane produces more than 20 times the warming of a molecule of
CO2. Nitrous oxide is 300 times more powerful than CO2.
Other gases, such as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, which have been banned in much of the world
because they also degrade the ozone layer, have heat-trapping potential thousands of times greater than
CO2. But because their concentrations are much lower than CO2, none of these gases adds as much
warmth to the atmosphere as CO2 does.
In order to understand the effects of all the gases together, scientists tend to talk about all
greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO2. Since 1990, yearly emissions have gone up
by about 6 billion metric tons of "carbon dioxide equivalent" worldwide, more than a 20 percent increase
