each of the questions from 36 to 43.<br />
Tornadoes form when strong winds spin. Wind is invisible, but we can see tornadoes because the spinning<br />
wind picks up water, dust, and debris. The spinning wind forms a funnel that connects thunderstorm clouds with the<br />
ground.<br />
When a tornado is close, watch out. They can spin over 200 miles per hour and cause a lot of damage. As they<br />
move across the land, they can easily pick up cars, trucks, and even houses, and then throw them very far. It is<br />
important to find a safe place to take shelter if a tornado gets close.<br />
A safe place could be a basement or the lowest floor, depending on where you are. If you are in a home<br />
without a basement, try to find a first-floor closet or bathroom without windows in the middle of your house. You<br />
should curl up into a ball and cover your head and neck with your hands. Stay in a safe place until the tornado passes.<br />
But<br />
there<br />
are<br />
some people who actually want to get close to tornadoes. They are scientists who want<br />
to learn more about tornadoes. One of the best ways to do this is to get as close as possible to these twisters. They use<br />
special equipment and instruments to measure what is happening in and around a tornado.<br />
One special instrument these scientists use is called a tornado probe. It is about six inches<br />
tall and looks like a short, orange construction cone. Inside the tornado probe, there are sensors to measure wind<br />
speed, temperature, pressure, and direction. Some probes even have cameras, so the scientists can see and understand<br />
what it’s like to be in a tornado.<br />
To be able to get these measurements, the scientists have to get a tornado probe near or into a tornado.<br />
Scientists will try to guess where a tornado will go next. Then they drive to that location and put down the probe. If<br />
they do not guess correctly, they pick up their probe and try another spot. If they are right, the tornado will go near or<br />
even right over the probe. Then they take all of the measurements from the probe and use them to predict where future<br />
tornadoes may form and travel.<br />
<br />
Câu 36: What is a tornado?<br />
A. A sensor that measures wind speed, temperature, pressure, and direction<br />
B. A person who studies winds and shares his or her findings with others<br />
C. Spinning wind that forms a funnel and can cause a lot of damage<br />
D. A first-floor room without windows in the middle of a house<br />
Câu 37: What sequence of events is described in the passage?<br />
A. The steps people should take if their house is destroyed by a tornado<br />
B. The steps that people take to build tornado probes<br />
C. The steps involved in the formation of a tornado<br />
D. The steps scientists take to get measurements from tornado probes<br />
Câu 38: Tornadoes are dangerous. What evidence from the passage supports this statement?<br />
A. As tornadoes move across the land, they can easily pick up cars, trucks and even houses, and then throw them very far.<br />
B. If scientists do not guess correctly where a tornado will go, then they pick up their instruments and try another spot.<br />
C. Tornado probes are about six inches tall and look like short, orange construction cones.<br />
D. Some scientists use special equipment and instruments to measure what is happening in and around a tornado.<br />
Câu 39: The word “that” in paragraph 1 refers to ______.<br />
A. ground<br />
B. wind<br />
C. thunderstorm<br />
D. funnel<br />
Câu 40: What can information about one tornado tell scientists?<br />
A. Information about one tornado can tell scientists how old a tornado probe is.<br />
B. Information about one tornado can tell scientists where another tornado may happen.<br />
C. It can tell scientists whether closets or bathrooms are better for taking shelter in.<br />
D. It can tell scientists how many people took shelter from it in their basement.<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to<br />
each of the questions from 44 to 50.<br />
Do you find the American education system to be confusing and different from the education system in your<br />
own country? Do you want to attend a university or a school in the USA? The American education system offers<br />
international students the most diverse set of options in the world. In fact, an international student who elects to take<br />
advantage of the American education system can pursue anything from nuclear science to film and dance. The<br />
possibilities are almost endless!<br />
The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary education prior<br />
to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public (or government-operated) schools, or at<br />
private schools. These 12 years of schooling (or their equivalent) may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving<br />
foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality<br />
American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is the large number of presidents, prime ministers and<br />
leaders from other countries who have experienced the American education system. In many fields and industries, the<br />
American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools. That is<br />
why graduating from an accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of the American education<br />
system is an investment in your future.<br />
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top college, or at an ESL, vocational or high school, a<br />
thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp of the<br />
system, an international student will find it difficult to make the right academic choices. The information provided in<br />
the Overview of the American education system section will help you develop that understanding. You can also search<br />
our list of Universities, colleges, community colleges, graduate schools, and boys and girls boarding schools. It is no<br />
surprise that the United States hosts more international students than any other country in the world!<br />

Câu 49: What is the writer’s advice in the passage?<br />
A. International students should have a thorough understanding of how the American education system works<br />
before going there to study.<br />
B. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student can make the right academic<br />
choice.<br />
C. International students should not invest their future education in the US.<br />
D. International students should not study at a top American university, college, vocational or high school.<br />
<br />
Câu 50: What is probably the best title for the passage?<br />
A. Studying in the USA<br />
B. Study Tips for American Students<br />
C. The American Education System<br />
