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 38: The passage is mainly concerned with ______.<br /> A. symmetrical flatfish<br /> B. bony flatfish<br /> C. evolution of flatfish<br /> D. different types of flatfish<br /> Question 39: The author mentions skates and rays as examples of fish that ______.<br /> A. become asymmetrical<br /> B. appear to fly<br /> C. have spread horizontally<br /> D. resemble sharks<br /> Question 40: The word “conversely” is closest in meaning to ______.<br /> A. similarly<br /> B. alternatively<br /> C. inversely<br /> D. contrarily<br /> Question 41: The word “this” refers to ______.<br /> A. the migration of the ancestors<br /> B. the practice of lying on one side<br /> C. the problem of the one eye looking downwards<br /> D. the difficulty of the only one eye being useful<br /> Question 42: According to the passage, the ability of a bony flatfish to move its eyes around is ______.<br /> A. average<br /> B. excellent<br /> C. weak<br /> D. variable<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 43 to 50.<br /> <br /> Trang 3/4 - Mã đề:023<br /> <br /> If you enjoy water sports, Hawaii is the place for you. 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 “to<br /> 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 an<br /> excellent sense of balance. You must swim out from the beach with your surfboard under your arm. When you get<br /> to where the waves begin to break, you wait for a calm moment. Then you try to stand up on the board. The wave<br /> will begin to rise under you. You must try to steer the board with your feet so you stay on top of the wave. The<br /> important thing is to keep your balance and not fall down. If you can manage this, you will have an exciting ride all<br /> 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 face<br /> mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet. It only takes a few minutes to learn how to<br /> snorkel. Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim with your face below the surface. Breathing<br /> through the tube, you float on the surface, and keep yourself moving with your flippers. Even from the surface like<br /> this, there will be plenty of color and beauty to see.<br /> Question 43: The passage is mainly about ______.<br /> A. water sports around the world<br /> B. an adventure under water<br /> C. tourist activities in Hawaii<br /> D. water sports in Hawaii<br /> Question 44: Which of the following is NOT true about surfing?<br /> A. It requires swimmers to have an excellent sense of balance.<br /> B. It was invented by the native Hawaiians<br /> C. It requires expensive equipment<br /> D. Anyone who wants to try surfing need to be a good swimmer.<br /> Question 45: The word “this” in the second paragraph refers to ______.<br /> A. standing on the board<br /> B. keeping balanced and not falling down<br /> C. The wave beginning to rise<br /> D. staying on top of the wave<br /> Question 46: The water around the Hawaiian Islands is ______.<br /> A. often quite cold<br /> B. full of colorful things to see<br /> C. usually very dark<br /> D. full of dangerous fish<br /> Question 47: According to the passage, scuba diving ______.<br /> A. is an ancient Hawaiian water sport<br /> B. requires special equipment and training<br /> C. is the only way to see the fish underwater<br /> D. requires good balance skills<br /> Question 48: The word “proper” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.<br /> A. enthusiastic<br /> B. informative<br /> C. appropriate<br /> D. short and clear<br /> Question 49: Which statement is supported by the information in the passage?<br /> A. Snorkeling involves breathing through the tube, floating on the surface and moving with flippers.<br /> B. Snorkeling requires much more equipment and training than scuba diving.<br /> C. When you are snorkeling you can go deep under water.<br /> D. Snorkeling is a sport started in ancient times.<br /> Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that ______.<br /> A. water sports are all expensive<br /> B. you need to take serious courses for all water sports.<br /> C. everyone can find a way to enjoy sports in the water<br /> D. swimming in Hawaii can be dangerous<br /> ----------- The End ----------<br /> <br /> Trang 4/4 - Mã đề:023<br /> <br />
