SBD: .............................<br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br /> correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 7.<br /> There is a common expression in the English language referring to a blue moon. When people say that<br /> something happens "only once in a blue moon", they mean that it happens only very rarely, once in a<br /> great while. This expression has been around for at least a century and a half; there are line references to<br /> this expression that date from the second half of the nineteenth century.<br /> The expression "a blue moon" has come to refer to the second full moon occurring in any given<br /> calendar month. A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it is particularly blue or is any<br /> different in hue from the first full moon of the month. Instead, it is called a blue moon because it is so<br /> rare. The moon needs a little more than 29 days, to complete the cycle from full moon to full moon<br /> every month will have at least moon. Because every month except February has more than 29 days, every<br /> month will have at least one full moon (except February, which will have a full moon unless there is a full<br /> moon at the end of January and another full moon at the very beginning of March). It is on the occasion<br /> when a given calendar month has a second full moon that a blue moon occurs. This does not happen very<br /> often, only three or four times in a decade.<br /> The blue moons of today are called blue moons because of their rarity and not because of their<br /> color, however, the expression "blue moon" may have come into existence in reference to unusual<br /> circumstances in which the moon actually appeared blue. Certain natural phenomena of gigantic<br /> proportions can actually change the appearance of the moon from Earth. The eruption of the Krakatau<br /> volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the atmosphere, which clouded the sun and gave the moon a bluish<br /> tint. This particular occurrence of the blue moon may have given rise to the expression that we use today.<br /> Another example occured more than a century later. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philipines in<br /> 1991, the moon again took on a blue tint.<br /> Câu 1: According to paragraph 2, the second full moon is called “the blue moon” because ______.<br /> A. it is bluer than the first full moon<br /> B. it has a bluish hue<br /> C. it appears on unhappy days<br /> D. it is infrequent<br /> Câu 2: If one full moon is on the second of May, another one will probably on ______.<br /> A.

Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For<br /> example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods. These climatic changes, however, were<br /> different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The<br /> changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity.<br /> Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid.<br /> The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this<br /> warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years.<br /> The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such<br /> ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts. These in<br /> turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture.<br /> It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse<br /> gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial<br /> processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a<br /> greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet.<br /> Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the<br /> subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries. Of these<br /> summits, the most important took place in Kyotoin Japanin 1997. There it was agreed that the most<br /> industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given<br /> targets for this reduction of emissions.<br /> It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb<br /> greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic<br /> deforestation. Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate<br /> changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering.<br /> Câu 8: According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice ages differ from the<br /> modern ones<br /> A. They occurred naturally over a long period of time<br /> B. They were partly intended.<br /> C. They were fully monitored by humans.<br /> D. They were wholly the result of human activity.<br /> Câu 9: The word “alarmingly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.<br /> A. disappointingly<br /> B. worryingly<br /> C. surprisingly<br /> D. disapprovingly<br /> Câu 10: According to the passage, agriculture could ______.<br /> A. give rise to many ecological disasters<br /> B. be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises<br /> C. make the global warming more serious<br /> D. be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature<br /> Câu 11: Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they ______.<br /> A. are emitted by car engines<br /> B. are unusual gases<br /> C. do not add to atmosphere pollution<br /> D. trap heat from the sun<br /> Câu 12: According to the passage, 1997 witnessed ______.<br /> A. the most important summit on climate change taking place in Kyoto, Japan<br /> B. the largest number of summits on the subject of climate change<br /> C. the highest attendance by representatives from 180 industrialised countries<br /> D. widespread concern about climate change<br /> Câu 13: It can be inferred from the passage that the countries which are mainly responsible for global<br /> warming are ______.<br /> A. countries with the warmest climate<br /> B. the most industrialized countries<br /> Trang 2/2 - Mã đề thi 206<br /> <br /> C. developed countries<br /> D. developing countries<br /> Câu 14: The word “There” in paragraph 5 refers to ______.<br /> A. the 1997 summit in Kyoto, Japan<br /> B. regular summits on climate change<br /> C. the most industrialized countries<br /> D. the world’s industrialized countries<br /> Câu 15: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?<br /> A.

Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may cause the so-called greenhouse effect.<br /> D.
