There are two very different types<br /> of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways. The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks have become<br /> flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great “wings”. They<br /> look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical and “the right way up”. Conversely fish<br /> such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way. There are bony fish which have a marked<br /> tendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much “taller” than they are wide. They use their whole<br /> vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through the water as they move. Therefore when<br /> their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their bellies. However, this raises the<br /> problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was effectively useless - In evolution this<br /> problem was solved by the lower eye “moving” around the other side. We see this process of moving around<br /> enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish. It starts life swimming near the surface, and is<br /> symmetrical and vertically flattened, but then the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted fashion, so<br /> that one eye for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards, an old Picasso - like vision.<br /> Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on the left, and others on either side.<br /> Question 35: The passage is mainly concerned with ______.<br /> A. symmetrical flatfish<br /> B. bony flatfish<br /> C. different types of flatfish<br /> D. evolution of flatfish<br /> Question 36: The word “this” refers to ______.<br /> A. the migration of the ancestors<br /> B. the difficulty of the only one eye being useful<br /> C. the problem of the one eye looking downwards<br /> D. the practice of lying on one side<br /> Question 37: According to the passage, the ability of a bony flatfish to move its eyes around is ______.<br /> A. excellent<br /> B. variable<br /> C. weak<br /> D. average<br /> Question 38: The word “conversely” is closest in meaning to ______.<br /> A. inversely<br /> B. contrarily<br /> C. similarly<br /> D. alternatively<br /> Question 39: The author mentions skates and rays as examples of fish that ______.<br /> A. have spread horizontally<br /> B. resemble sharks<br /> C. appear to fly<br /> D. become asymmetrical<br /> <br /> Trang 3/4 - Mã đề: 010<br /> <br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct<br /> answer to each of the questions from 40 to 47 .<br /> Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of payments.<br /> Even now, in Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the groceries, take place<br /> every day with customers passing their handsets across a small flat-screen device. And predictions in the<br /> world of finance reckon that payments using mobile phones will have risen to more than $50 billion in the very<br /> near future.<br /> What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash, but more so. It<br /> takes just one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change is required, errors in counting<br /> are eliminated. Fraud and theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it reduces the cost of handling money.<br /> Sony's vision of having a chip embedded in computers, TVs and games consoles means that films, music and<br /> games can be paid for easily without having to input credit card details.<br /> And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and credit-card firms want to be<br /> in a position to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and contactless-payment systems. But the new<br /> system could prove to be a "disruptive technology" as far as the banks are concerned. If payments for a few<br /> coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are made every day by a commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on<br /> their monthly credit card statements but on their mobile phone statements. And having spent fortunes on<br /> branding, credit-card companies and banks do not want to see other payment systems gaining popularity. It's too<br /> early to say whether banks will miss out and if so, by how much. However, quite a few American bankers are<br /> optimistic. They feel there is reason to be suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing of<br /> the past. They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street branches as was<br /> predicted. On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches. So, whether we'll become a<br /> totally cash-free society remains open to contention.<br /> Question 40: How does the writer seem to feel about the future of banks?<br /> A. uncertain<br /> B. optimistic<br /> C. neutral<br /> D. pessimistic<br /> Question 41: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?<br /> A. Japan's advanced forms of payment.<br /> B. The increasing popularity of new payment methods.<br /> C. The absence of traditional payment methods.<br /> D.
