I. 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
Look at your hand, and it might not seem very interesting at first, but it is an amazing tool. In fact, the
human hand is as complex and as useful as a high tech machine.
This might sound strange to you, but the development of the human hand changed the world. For example,
the thumb helped human beings become the smartest and most powerful animals on the Earth. Your thumb is
important because it faces your other fingers. This allows you to hold things, like tools. Being able to hold tools
allowed our ancient ancestors to build things and become more advanced. It is also possible that when we
developed thumbs and started to use tools, our brains developed faster as well.
And how about this? Your fingers are the only parts of your body that are moved by a "remote control". A
remote control is the small device that you use to change the channel on your television. Your fingers are
controlled by remote because they don't have any muscles. You control your fingers with the muscles in your
palms. The palms are connected to the fingers by tendons. The palms pull the tendons, and move them the
same way a string moves a puppet.
Every part of the human body is complicated, but the hand is especially complicated. It has a total of 29
bones. There are 34 different muscles that move the fingers and the thumb. Seventeen of those muscles are in
the palm, and 18 are in the forearm. The human hand also has 48 nerves and 30 arteries. An artery is like a
vein, but it carries blood away from the heart.
Human beings are not as strong or as fast as other animals. However, our ancient ancestors were able to rule the
world for two reasons. First, they were intelligent. Second, they had these amazing instruments called hands.
There is no other invention like them in the world.

IX. 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
One of the hottest topics related to the environment is rainforests. Despite always being mentioned in the
news, many people don't know very much about these areas or understand why they are so important. The
name "rainforest" actually does a pretty good job of describing what they are - tall forests that receive high
amounts of precipitation. In a year, rainforests get between 250 to 450 centimeters of precipitation. There are
two types of rainforests: tropical rainforests and temperate rainforests. Tropical rainforests are more plentiful
and are located in warmer climates, while temperate rainforests are found in places where the weather is a bit
milder. In terms of location, rainforests can be found on every continent with the exception of Antarctica.
Although they only cover 6 percent of the Earth, over 50 percent of the Earth's animal and plant species can be
found there. Many biologists estimate that there are possibly millions of additional species present there that
have yet to be discovered and classified.
Over the years, rainforests have gained the nickname "the world's pharmacy" because more than 25 percent
of natural medicines were found there. Many herbs that are used to make medicines can only be found in
rainforests. Rainforests are also home to several tribes that have lived off the land for thousands of years.
During this time, they have survived by hunting animals and gathering fruits and vegetables. They also possess
tremendous knowledge when it comes to crafting and applying medicines made from herbs and plants. Over
time, their unique way of life has declined as they have come in contact with modem civilization.
Despite their numerous benefits, rainforest have been disappearing at a rapid speed. As the Earth's
population continues to expand, developers have been cutting down their trees to create new lands for farming
or urban projects. This could have unfortunate long-term effects on our planet. If deforestation continues at this
Trang 4/4 - Mã đề: 196
rate, it is possible that a quarter of all species on the Earth may become extinct in the next 50 years. As it
stands, plenty of damage has already occurred. West Africa has had 90 percent of its rainforests destroyed,
while the island nation of Madagascar has eliminated 66 percent of its original rainforests as well. As a result,
many charities have sprung up with the goal of purchasing and protecting the remaining rainforests. With their
help, hopefully we can stop the destruction of one of the planet's most vital assets.
