The<br /> Hubble was sent into orbit with a satellite by the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990 amid huge hype and<br /> expectation. Yet after it was in position, it simply did not work, because the primary mirror was<br /> misshapen. It was not until 1993 that the crew of the Shuttle Endeavor arrived like roadside mechanics,<br /> opened the hatch that was installed for the purpose, and replaced the defective mirror with a good one.<br /> Suddenly, all that had originally been expected came true. The Hubble telescope was indeed the<br /> “window on the universe,” as it had originally been dubbed. When you look deep into space, you are<br /> actually looking back through time, because even though light travels at 186,000 miles a second, it<br /> requires time to get from one place to another. In fact, it is said that in some cases, the Hubble telescope is<br /> looking back eleven billion years to see galaxies already forming. The distant galaxies are speeding away<br /> from Earth, some traveling at the speed of light.<br /> Hubble has viewed exploding stars such as the Eta Carinae, which clearly displayed clouds of gas<br /> and dust billowing outward from its poles at 1.5 million miles an hour. Prior to Hubble, it was visible<br /> from traditional telescopes on earth, but its details were not ascertainable. But now, the evidence of the<br /> explosion is obvious. The star still burns five million times brighter than the sun and illuminates clouds<br /> from the inside.<br /> Hubble has also provided a close look at black holes, which are described as cosmic drains. Gas<br /> and dust swirl around the drain and are slowly sucked in by the incredible gravity. It has also looked into<br /> an area that looked empty to the naked eye and, within a region the size of a grain of sand, located layer<br /> upon layer of galaxies, with each galaxy consisting of billions of stars.<br /> <br /> Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 450<br /> <br /> The Hubble telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, a 1920s astronomer who developed a<br /> formula that expresses the proportional relationship of distances between clusters of galaxies and the<br /> speeds at which they travel. Astronomers use stars known as Cepheid variables to measure distances in<br /> space. These stars dim and brighten from time to time, and they are photographed over time and charted.<br /> All the discoveries made by Hubble have allowed astronomers to learn more about the formation of early<br /> galaxies.<br /> Câu 31: The author states that the Hubble was not always popular because__________ .<br /> A. people were afraid of what might be found.<br /> B. many people believed space exploration was a waste of time.<br /> C. it was defective for its first three years in space.<br /> D. it was more expensive than most space shuttles.<br /> Câu 32: The word burnt in the first sentence is closest in meaning to __________ .<br /> A. subject<br /> B. unhappiness<br /> C. expense<br /> D. contentment<br /> Câu 33: The author implies that at the time the Hubble was initially deployed from the Earth _______ .<br /> A. all attention was focused on the space shuttle, not the Hubble.<br /> B. there was little attention paid to it.<br /> C. it was already known that the mirror was defective.<br /> D. there was considerable excitement about potential uses.<br /> Câu 34: The author implies that the satellite that carries the Hubble was specifically designed so<br /> that________ .<br /> A. maintenance could be done by traveling astronauts. B. the mirror could contract and expand.<br /> C. the Hubble could move easily.<br /> D. the known defective mirror could be replaced in<br /> space rather than on Earth.<br /> Câu 35: The author compares the astronauts of the Endeavor to __________ .<br /> A. politicians.<br /> B. mechanics.<br /> C. scientists.<br /> D. astronomers.<br /> Câu 36: The author states that Edward Hubble ___________ .<br /> A. developed the Hubble telescope.<br /> B. was the first person to use the Hubble telescope.<br /> C. developed a mathematical formula to measure speed and distances between galaxies.<br /> D. was a politician who sponsored funding in Congress.<br /> Câu 37: According to the passage, a Cepheid variable is __________ .<br /> A. a mirror<br /> B. the dimming and brightening of a star<br /> C. a Hubble calculations<br /> D. a star<br /> Câu 38: The word billowing in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to __________ .<br /> A. exploding<br /> B. pouring<br /> C. sitting<br /> D. stopping<br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C , or D to indicate the correct answer to each<br /> of the questions.<br /> These days it is easy for most of us to get a hold of the latest books or magazines. We can go to<br /> bookstores, order them through the Internet, or borrow them from the local libraries. Now imagine having<br /> to walk miles and miles through a hot sandy desert just to borrow a book. This is the reality for people<br /> living in the villages of the Carissa region of Kenya in East Africa.<br /> In 1996, librarian Wycliffe Oluoch used to spend each day waiting for people to come to borrow<br /> some of the 24,000 books in his library in Carissa. The library had no shortage of books, but people<br /> weren’t coming to read them. It was too much effort to walk through the desert just to borrow books.<br /> Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 450<br /> <br /> Oluoch racked his brain for ways to entice people into the library. After a lot of thought, he hit upon a<br /> great idea. If people wouldn’t come to the library, then he would have to take the library to them. Oluoch<br /> strapped boxes of books onto the backs of camels, and created the Mobile Camel Library.<br /> Starting with three camels in 1996, but more recently expanding the service to six camels, the<br /> Mobile Camel Library serves over one million people. Twice a month, the camel library can be seen<br /> carrying books all around the Carissa region. These hard-working animals need little water and can carry<br /> up to 500 pounds of books across the sands. A librarian, a library assistant, a herdsman, and a lookout all<br /> travel with the camels. The lookout helps protect the books from thieves.<br /> The children of Carissa love the camel library and appreciate Oluoch’s effort. Eleven-year-old<br /> Mohamud Mohamed reads his library books carefully and always returns them on time. He knows the<br /> Carissa library punishes people for losing books, just like any other library. However, the punishment is<br /> very stiff compared to that of other libraries. If a village loses a book, the camel library stops visiting.<br /> (From Reading Challenge 2)<br /> Câu 39: What is the main idea of this reading?<br /> A. Camels can carry up to 500 pounds.<br /> C. Lookouts are necessary because of thieves.<br /> <br /> B. A mobile camel library was invented.<br /> D.

Other libraries will punish that reader.<br /> B. There will be no punishment.<br /> C. He will be charged a small fee.<br /> D. The library will not drop by the village.<br /> Câu 43: The word “stiff” is closest in meaning to _____ .<br /> A. serious<br /> B. enormous<br /> C. easy<br /> <br /> D. rough<br /> <br /> Câu 44: The phrase “racked his brain” probably means ________ .<br /> A. had a headache<br /> B. thought very hard<br /> C. was disappointed<br /> <br /> D. was thoughtful<br /> <br /> Câu 45: Which of the following is TRUE?<br /> A. In 1996, there were three camels to help run the library<br /> B. 24,000 books are not enough for people in Carissa to read.<br /> C. Oluoch earns a lot of money with his service.<br /> D. In 1996, the library could serve only about one million people.<br /> Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in<br /> meaning to each of the following questions.<br /> Câu 46: If we had missed the flight, we wouldn’t be on the beach now.<br /> A. We missed the flight and now we are not on the beach.<br /> B. We missed the flight but we are now on the beach.<br /> C. We didn’t miss the flight and we are on the beach now.<br /> D.
