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

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. 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.

The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT

Đáp án C

Kiến thức: Đọc hiểu

Giải thích:

Tiêu đề cho đoạn này có thể là

A. "Cuộc sống của con người trong môi trường sa mạc"

B. “Thực vật ở sa mạc”

C. "Cuộc sống của động vật trong môi trường sa mạc"

D. "Cuộc sống dưới lòng đất"

Dịch bài đọc:

Nước là khởi nguồn của sự sống, nó cấu tạo nên phần lớn các tế bào của sinh vật, vấn đề quan trọng của các sinh vật ở sa mạc là tồn tại trong môi trường khan hiếm nước. Và bởi vì nhu cầu cấp thiết và không thay đổi của con người là hấp thụ lượng lớn nước trong những khoảng thời gian thường xuyên, họ hiếm khi hiểu được rằng có rất nhiều sinh vật ở sa mạc không mất giọt nước nào trong suốt quá trình sống.

Một điều chắc chắn là sa mạc không diệt đi sự sống mà chỉ những thể sống không thể chịu được ảnh hưởng của sự khô hạn. Không có bộ da ẩm, động vật ưa nước có thể sống ở đây. Chỉ có thể thấy vài động vật to lớn: sa mạc Bắc Mĩ có hươu, chó sói đồng cỏ và linh miêu. Vì sa mạc là lãnh địa rộng lớn, nhiều loài thú chân nhanh, chạy nhảy nhiều tồn tại đông hơn so với các loài ở rừng rậm. Dân số sống về đêm, im lặng, tràn ngập sự trầm lặng, và cai trị bằng sự im ắng. Tuy nhiên, chúng không gầy yếu.

Đã thích nghi với môi trường khắc nghiệt, chúng khỏe mạnh giống như động vật ở bất cứ nơi nào khác trên thế giới. Bí mật của sự điều chỉnh của chúng nằm ở sự kết hợp của hành vi và sinh lý học. Không ai có thể sống sót nếu, giống như những con chó điên và những người Anh, chúng đi ra ngoài vào buổi giữa trưa; nhiều trong số chúng sẽ chết chỉ trong vài phút. Vì vậy, hầu hết chúng vượt qua những giờ nóng thiêu cháy trong những hang ổ mát mẻ, ẩm ướt bên dưới mặt đất, chỉ săn vào ban đêm. Bề mặt của sa mạc bị nắng hun đốt trung bình khoảng

150 độ, nhưng 18 inch ở phía dưới nhiệt độ chỉ là 60 độ.

Dịch bài đọc:

Xăm là một nghệ thuật cổ xưa. Ở Hy Lạp cổ đại, những người có hình xăm được coi là thành viên của tầng lớp trên. Mặt khác, hình xăm bị cấm ở Châu Âu bởi các Kitô, người nghĩ rằng đó là một việc làm tội lỗi. Mãi cho đến cuối thế kỷ 18, khi thuyền trưởng Cook nhìn thấy người đảo Nam Hải trang trí cơ thể của họ bằng hình xăm, thái độ bắt đầu thay đổi. Những thủy thủ trở lại từ những hòn đảo này với hình ảnh của Chúa Kitô trên lưng của họ và từ đó về sau, hình xăm đã trở nên phổ biến. Cuộc điều tra của quân đội Pháp năm 1881 cho thấy trong 387 người được hỏi có 1.333 mẫu thiết kế.

Ngày nay, không phải ai cũng có thể chấp nhận hình xăm. Một số người nghĩ xăm một cái trên người là điều ngớ ngẩn vì những hình xăm ít nhiều là vĩnh viễn. Cũng có một số mối quan tâm về việc mắc một bệnh về máu từ kim tiêm không được tiệt trùng. Ngay cả đối với những người muốn có một hình xăm, quá trình xăm không phải không đau, nhưng kết quả cuối cùng, trong mắt họ, là đáng để chịu đau.


Câu 42:

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

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives.

Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences.

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.

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

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives.

Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences.

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.
