You can go swimming all year round in the warm water.<br /> You can go sport fishing from the shore or from a boat. If you like boats, you can go sailing, canoeing, or<br /> windsurfing. Or, you can also try some other water sports that are especially popular in Hawaii: surfing, snorkeling<br /> and scuba diving.<br /> Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago. The Hawaiians called it "he'e nalu", which means<br /> "to slide on a wave". If you want to try surfing, you need, first of all, to be a good swimmer. You also have to have<br /> an excellent sense of balance. You must swim out from the beach with your surfboard under your arm. When you<br /> get to where the waves begin to break, you wait for a calm moment. Then you try to stand up on the board. The<br /> wave will begin to rise under you. You must try to steer the board with your feet so you stay on top of the wave.<br /> The important thing is to keep your balance and not fall down. If you can manage this, you will have an exciting<br /> ride all the way in to the shore.<br /> Scuba diving and snorkeling are two ways to get a close look at the beauty lying below the surface of the<br /> ocean. The waters off the Hawaiian Islands are clean, clear and warm. They contain hundreds of kinds of colorful<br /> fish. The undersea world is made even more colorful by the coral reefs of red, gold, white and light purple. Among<br /> these reefs there may be larger fish or sea turtles.<br /> Scuba diving allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights. "Scuba" means "Self-contained<br /> Underwater Breathing Apparatus", that is, equipment for breathing and swimming around far under water. In<br /> Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how to scuba dive. After the courses, you can get a certificate that<br /> will allow you to dive alone. Since it can be dangerous, proper instruction and great care are always necessary<br /> when you are scuba diving.<br /> If you are adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving. Less equipment is needed, just a<br /> face mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet. It only takes a few minutes to learn how to snorkel.<br /> Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim with your face below the surface. Breathing through<br /> the tube, you float on the surface, and keep yourself moving with your flippers. Even from the surface like this,<br /> there will be plenty of color and beauty to see.<br /> Question 13. The passage is mainly about ______.<br /> A. water sports around the world<br /> B. water sports in Hawaii<br /> C. tourist activities in Hawaii<br /> D. an adventure under water<br /> Question 14. Which of the following is NOT true about surfing?<br /> A. It requires expensive equipment.<br /> B. It was invented by the native Hawaiians.<br /> C. Anyone who wants to try surfing need to be a good swimmer.<br /> D. It requires swimmers to have an excellent sense of balance.<br /> Question 15. The water around the Hawaiian Islands is ______.<br /> A. full of colorful things to see<br /> B. full of dangerous fish<br /> C. usually very dark<br /> D. often quite cold<br /> Question 16. The word "this" in the second paragraph refers to ______.<br /> A. the wave beginning to rise<br /> B. staying on top of the wave<br /> C. keeping balanced and not falling down<br /> D. standing on the board<br /> Question 17.

Snorkeling requires much more equipment and training than scuba diving.<br /> C. Snorkeling is a sport started in ancient times.<br /> D. When you are snorkeling you can go deep under water.<br /> Question 18.

According to the passage, scuba diving ______.<br /> A. is an ancient Hawaiian water sport<br /> B. is the only way to see the fish underwater<br /> C. requires special equipment and training<br /> D. requires good balance skills<br /> <br /> Trang 2/4 - Mã đề: 001<br /> <br /> Question 20.

And since man's<br /> inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that<br /> many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.<br /> Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its<br /> desiccating effects. No moist- skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. The<br /> giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it<br /> holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal,<br /> silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated.<br /> Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word. The<br /> secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like mad dogs<br /> and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass<br /> the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The<br /> surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60<br /> degrees.<br /> Question 21.
