The Planets of Jupiter The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth‘s, contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined. It is thought to be a gaseous and fluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reactions, and it would have flamed as a star in its own right. Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets. Much of Jupiter‘s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid with the properties of a metal. Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth. Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours. As a result, its clouds, which are composed largely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands that circle the planet at different speeds in different latitudes. Jupiter‘s puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the Southern Hemisphere. Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds of years. Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. Perhaps this is primeval heat or beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet. Another star like characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease in density with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away. If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System. Question 45: The word attained in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____. A. attempted B. changed C. lost D. reached Question 46: The word they in paragraph 1 refers to _____. A. nuclear reactions B. giant planets C. terrestrial D. substances Question 47: According to the passage, hydrogen can become a metallic-like liquid when it is _____. A. extremely hot B. combined with helium C. similar atmospheres D. metallic cores Question 48: According to the passage, some scientists believe Jupiter and Earth are similar in that they both have _____. A. solid surfaces B. similar masses C. similar atmospheres D. metallic cores Question 49: The clouds surrounding Jupiter are mostly composed of _____. A. ammonia B. helium C. hydrogen D. methane 3
  4. Gia sư Thành Được www.daythem.edu.vn Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that the appearance of alternating bands circling Jupiter is caused by _____. A. the Great Red Spot B. heat from the Sun C. the planet‘s fast rotation D. Storms from the planet‘s Southern Hemisphere Question 51: The author uses the word puzzling in paragraph 2 to suggest that the Great Red Spot is _____. A. the only spot of its kind B. not well understood C. among the largest of such spots D. a problem for the planet‘s continued existence Question 52: Paragraph 3 supports which of the following conclusions? A. Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as the Sun. B. Jupiter has a weaker gravitational force than the other planets. C. Scientists believe that Jupiter was once a star. D. Scientists might learn about the beginning of the Solar System by Studying Jupiter. Question 53: Why does the author mention primeval heat in paragraph 3? A. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the Sun B. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the other planets C. To suggest a possible explanation for the number of satellites that Jupiter has D. To suggest a possible source of the quantity of heat that Jupiter gives off Question 54: Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? A. If Jupiter had fewer satellites, it would be easier for scientists to study the planet itself. B. If Jupiter had had more mass, it would have developed internal nuclear reactions. C. If Jupiter had been smaller, it would have become a terrestrial planet. D. if Jupiter were larger, it would give off much less heat. 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 question s from 55 to 64 . Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as. For example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver‘s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages. Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech. Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few. Question 55: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Gestures B. Signs and signals C. Speech D. Communication Question 56: What does the author say about speech? A. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors. B. It is the most advanced form of communication. C. It is necessary for communication to occur. D. It is the only true form of communication. Question 57: According to the passage, what is a signal? A. A form of communication that interrupts the environment. B. The most difficult form of communication to describe C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances. D. The form of communication most related to cultural perception. 4

A. prohibit B. intrude C. vary D. improve Question 59: The word “it” in paragraph refers to _______________. A. way B. environment C. function D. signal Question 60: The word “ potential” in paragraph 1 could be replaced by ______________. A. advanced B. possibility C. organization D. signal Question 61: The word ―intricate‖ in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by ________ A. inefficient B. complicated C. historical D. uncertain Question 62: Applauding was cited as an example of ______________. A. a signal B. a sign C. a gesture D. a symbol Question 63: Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented? A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols. B. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances. C. Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete. D. Because people wanted new forms of communication. Question 64: It may be concluded from this passage that___________. A. only some cultures have signs, signals, and symbols B. signs, signals, symbols, and gestures are forms of communication C. symbols are very easy to define and interrupt D. waving and handshaking are not related to culture WRITING Part I.

Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the tides. No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep. The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month. Question 45: What is the main point of the first paragraph? A. The waves created by ocean currents are very large. B. Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water. C. Deep ocean water is seldom affected by forces that move water. D. The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean water. Question 46: The word "felt" is closest in meaning to A. based B. dropped C. detected D. explored Question 47: The words "In reality" are closest in meaning to A. surprisingly B. actually C. characteristically D. similarly Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that the most important factor in determining how much gravitational effect one object in space has on the tides is A. size B. distance C. temperature D. density Question 49: The word "correspondingly" is closest in meaning to A. unpredictably B. interestingly C. similarly D. unusually Question 50: What is the cause of spring tides? A. Seasonal changes in the weather B. The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon when nearly in line with the Earth C. The Earth's movement around the Sun D. The triangular arrangement of the Earth, Sun, and Moon Question 51: The word "configuration" is closest in meaning to A. unit B. center C. surface D. arrangement Question 52: Neap tides occur when_____. A. the Sun counteracts the Moon's gravitational attraction B. the Moon is full C. the Moon is farthest from the Sun 8
  9.

Lines 12-13 D. Lines 17-18 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 from 46 to 55. Watching for wildlife in the forest, we rarely see past the surface of things. Standing on the ground floor, we scan the leafy rafters, entirely overlooking the living world in the soil beneath out feet. The forest‗s basement is a secret world. As different from our own world as water is from air, the soil seems quiet, even dead. But life bustles down below: a cubic inch of topsoil may contain billions of creatures. Predators and prey roam beneath as well as above the forest floor. Furthermore, those upstairs and downstairs forest denizens live closely linked lives soil-dwelling bacteria and fungi break down deal organic matter into molecules that above ground plants use for food. Those plants, as well as animals, mature and die, leaving more organic matter to fuel the folks downstairs. Like a well -insulated house, the soil protected its tenants from extreme temperatures, and from rain and snow. It also provides a bulwark against predators that roam the surface world. But the dense, protecting soil also limits mobility. Soil creatures must be specially equipped in order to travel easily through their dark, constricting realm. Earthworms and ants are the champion earth-movers, creating channels that allow air and water to enter the soil. While ants travel relatively far from their nests, earthworms work small areas, reprocessing vast amount of soil into fertile ―waste‖. In a single year, as much as 36 tons of soil may pass through the alimentary tracts of all the earthworms living in an acre of soil. Question 55: The main topic of the passage is_______ . A. life in the forest soil B. the habitats of the forest animals C. the life cycle of ants and worms D. a description of a forest scene Question 56: The word ― bustles‖ in the passage is closest in meaning to ________ .

A. to build walls in the soil B. to help aerate the soil C. to kill mature plants D. to provide food for plant life Question 59: The word ―bulwark‖ in the passage is closest in meaning to_______ . A. tomb B. radar C. barrier D. gateway Question 60: According to the passage, the soil offers creatures who live underground protection from all of the following EXCEPT__________. A. bacteria and fungi B. bad weather C. extreme heat and cold D. enemies Question 61: The word "constricting‖ can be replaced with _______.

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since man‘s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop. Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word. 12
  13. Gia sư Thành Được www.daythem.edu.vn The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees. Question 45: The title for this passage could be _____ . A. ―Desert Plants‖ B. ―Life Underground‖ C. ―Animal Life in a Desert Environment‖ D. ―Man‘s Life in a Desert Environment‖ Question 46: The word ―inexorable‖ in the passage mostly means _____ .

A. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals B. live in an accommodating environment C. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest D. are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world Question 50: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT _____.

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C . Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction makes it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre structure near the Nile river is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west-an incredible engineering feat.
