Most people think that lions only come from Africa. This is understandable because in fact most lions do come from there but this has not always been the case. If we went back ten thousand years, we would find that there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe. However now, unfortunately only a very small section of the lion's former habitat remains. Asiatic lions are sub-species of African lions. It is almost a hundred thousand years since the Asiatic lions split off and developed as a sub-species. At one time the Asiatic lion was living as far west as Greece and they were found from there, but in a band that spreads east through various countries of the Middle East, all the way to India. In museums now, you can see Greek coins that have clear images of the Asiatic lion on them. Most of them are dated at around 500 B.C. However, Europe saw its last Asiatic lions roaming free two thousand years ago. Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic lions in the other areas declined steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they disappeared from everywhere but in India. The Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in India was established especially to protect the Asiatic lion. There are now around three hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are in this sanctuary. However, despite living in a VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters, they still face a number of problems that threaten their survival. One of these is the ever-present danger of disease. This is what killed more than a third of Africa’s Serengeti lions in 1994, and people are fearful that something similar could happen in the Gir Sanctuary and kill off many of the Asiatic lions there. India's lions are particular vulnerable because they have a limited gene pool. The reason for this is interesting - it is because all of them are descended from a few dozen lions that were saved by a prince who took a particular interest in them. He was very healthy, and he managed to protect them; otherwise they would probably have died out completely. When you see the Asiatic lion in India, what you sense is enormous vitality. They are very impressive animals and you would never guess that they have this vulnerability when you look at them.

Federal Express is a company that specializes in rapid overnight delivery of high-priority packages. The first company of its type, Federal Express was founded by the youthful Fred Smith in 1971, when he was only 28 years old. Smith had actually developed the idea for the rapid delivery service in a term paper for an economics class when he was a student at Yale University. The term paper reputedly received a less-than-stellar grade because of the infeasibility of the project that Smith had outlined. The model that Smith proposed had never been tried; it was a model that was efficient to operate but at the same time was very difficult to institute. Smith achieved efficiency in his model by designing a system that was separate from the passenger system and could, therefore, focus on how to deliver packages most efficiently. His strategy was to own his own planes so that he could create his own schedules and to ship all packages through the hub city of Memphis, a set-up which resembles the spokes on the wheel of a bicycle. With this combination of his own planes and hub set-up, he could get packages anywhere in the United States overnight. VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí What made Smith’s idea difficult to institute was the fact that the entire system had to be created before the company could begin operations. He needed a fleet of aircraft to collect packages from airports every night and deliver them to Memphis, where they were immediately sorted and flown out to their new destinations; he needed a fleet of trucks to deliver packages to and from the various airports; he needed facilities and trained staff all in place to handle the operation. Smith had a $4 million inheritance from his father, and he managed to raise an additional $91 million dollars from venture capitalists to get the company operating. When Federal Express began service in 1973 in 25 cities, the company was not an immediate success, but success did come within a relatively short period of time. The company lost $29 million in the first 26 months of operations. However, the tide was to turn relatively quickly. By late 1976, Federal Express was carrying an average of 19,000 packages per night and had made a profit of $3.6 million. Question 42: The most appropriate title for this passage is _____. A. The Capitalization of Federal Express B. The Importance of Business Studies C. The Implementation of a Successful Business D. The Problems and Frustrations of a Business Student Question 43: The word "developed" in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by _____. A. come up with B. come into C. come across D. come about Question 44: What is stated in the passage about Smiths' term paper? A. It was written by a student of Smith’s. B. Smith submitted it through a deliver service. C. The professor thought it had great potential. D. Its grade was mediocre. Question 45: What was a key idea of Smiths? A. That he should focus on passenger service B. That packages could be delivered on other companies’ planes C. That package delivery should be separate from passenger service D. That passenger service had to be efficient Question 46: A "hub city" in paragraph 2 is _____. A. a centralized city with destinations emanating from it B. a city that is the final destination for many routes C. a large city with small cities as destinations D. a city where many bicycle routes begin Question 47: It can be inferred from the passage that Smith selected Memphis as his hub city because it _____. A. already had a large package delivery service B. had a large number of passenger aircraft VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí C. was near the middle of the country D. was a favorite passenger airport Question 48: The pronoun "they" in paragraph 3 refers to _____. A. destinations B. aircraft C. packages D. airports Question 49: It is NOT mentioned in the passage that, in order to set up his company, Smith needed _____. A. faculty B. trucks C. personnel D. airplanes Question 50: How long did it take Federal Express to become profitable? A. One year B. Six years C. Two months D. Three years Question 51: Which paragraph explains what made Smith’s model effective? A. The second paragraphB. The third paragraphC. The last paragraph D.

A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker. The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may believe them. Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and or gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication. Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed. 35. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The function of the voice in performance B. Communication styles C. The connection between voice and personality D. The production of speech 36. What does the author mean by stating that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí above the words chosen"? A. Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are. B. The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words. C. A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication. D.

As examples of public performance B. As examples of basic styles of communication C. To contrast them to singing D. To introduce the idea of self-image 40.

Anger Read the following passage and indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his own use. This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today. As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organize their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí ailments of that organ. Thus, an extract made from a heart-shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems. Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our present knowledge of drugs and their uses. 45. What does this passage mainly discuss? A. Cures from plants B. The beginning of natural history C. Prehistoric man D. Early plants and animals 46. Domestication of plants and animals probably occurred because of __________________________________.

A. providing food for man B. man's domestication of plants and animals C. man's ability to live on a small plot of land D. the earliest condition of prehistoric man 48.

American and British people both speak English, of course, but sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say all the letters in each word, especially consonants like “t” and “d”. For example, Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”, or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What do you say?” However, the British usually pronounce their consonants carefully. VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, Americans say the “a” in “class” like “a” in “cat”, but the British say the “a” in “class” like the “a” in “half”. The “r” is sometimes said differently, too. When an American says “farmer”, you can usually hear the “r”. But you can’t hear the “r” in British English. The British say “fahmah”. Sound is not the only difference between British English and American English. The two languages have different words for some things. For example, the words for clothing are different. Americans use the word “sweater”, but the English say “jumper”. Americans wear “vests” over their shirts, but in England they wear “vests” under their shirts. An American man wears a “tuxedo” to a very fancy party, but an Englishman wears a “dinner jacket”. Americans talk about “pants” or “slacks”, but the British talk about “trousers”. Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone friends, you “ring them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. The British use the word “lovely” to describe something they like. Americans use the word “nice” or “great”. There are also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans almost always use the helping verb “do” with the verb “have”. They might say, “Do you have an extra pen?” The British often ask the question a different way. They might say, “Have you got an extra pen?” The differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But there is a reason for the differences. Languages change over time. When the same language is used in different places, it changes differently in each place. This is what happened to English. It also happened to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French, but their French is different from the French spoken in France. 45. This article is about …………………………… A.
