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.
Most people think that lions only come from Africa. This is understandable because in fact most
lions do come from there but this has not always been the case. If we went back ten thousand years, we
would find that there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe. However now, unfortunately only a
very small section of the lion's former habitat remains.
Asiatic lions are sub-species of African lions. It is almost a hundred thousand years since the
Asiatic lions split off and developed as a sub-species. At one time the Asiatic lion was living as far west
Trang 3/6 - Mã đ thi 157ề

as Greece and they were found from there, but in a band that spreads east through various countries of the
Middle East, all the way to India. In museums now, you can see Greek coins that have clear images of the
Asiatic lion on them. Most of them are dated at around 500 B.C. However, Europe saw its last Asiatic
lions roaming free two thousand years ago. Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic
lions in the other areas declined steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they disappeared
from everywhere but in India.
The Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in India was established especially to protect the Asiatic lion. There are
now around three hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are in this sanctuary. However,
despite living in a sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters, they still face a number of problems
that threaten their survival. One of these is the ever-present danger of disease. This is what killed more
than a third of Africa’s Serengeti lions in 1994, and people are fearful that something similar could
happen in the Gir Sanctuary and kill off many of the Asiatic lions there.
India's lions are particular vulnerable because they have a limited gene pool. The reason for this is
interesting is because all of them are descended from a few dozen lions that were saved by a prince who
took a particular interest in them. He was very healthy, and he managed to protect them; otherwise they
would probably have died out completely.
When you see the Asiatic lion in India, what you sense is enormous vitality. They are very
impressive animals and you would never guess that they have this vulnerability when you look at them.

C. nowhere in the world D. in Africa and India

A. was looking for food mainly in the Middle East

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.
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual
not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the
phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and
connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals
worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the
use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone
companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that
mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people
who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern
scanning equipment. In one case, a travelling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious
memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son.
This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for
a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High- tech
machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies
agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less
often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you
really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future,
mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not
to use your mobile phone too often
Câu 44: According to the passage, cell phones are especially popular with young people because
A. they are indispensable in everyday communications.
B. they cannot be replaced by regular phones.
C. they make them look more stylish.
D. they keep the users alert all the time.
Câu 45: The word "means" in the passage most closely means
A. transmission B. method C. expression D. meanings
Câu 46: Doctors have tentatively concluded that cell phones may .
A. damage their users' emotions. B. change their users' social behaviours.
C. change their users' temperament D. cause some mental malfunction
Câu 47: "Negative publicity" in the passage most likely means .
A. poor ideas about the effects of cell phones.
B. widespread opinion about bad effects of cell phones.
C. the negative public use of cell phones.
