Tattooing : an ancient tradition Tattooing is an old art. In ancient Greece, people who had tattoos were regarded as members of the (31) ……… classes. On the other hand, tattooing was banned in Europe by the early Christians, who thought that it was a sinful thing to do. It was not until the late 18th century, when Captain Cook saw South Sea Islanders decorating their bodies with tattoos, that attitudes began to change. Sailors came back from these islands with pictures of Christ on their backs and from then on, tattooing (32) ……… in popularity. A survey by the French army in 1881 showed that among the 378 men questioned there were 1,333 designs. Nowadays, not everybody finds tattoos acceptable. Some people think that getting one is silly because tattoos are more or less permanent. There is also some (33) ……… about (34) ……… a blood disease from unsterilized needles.

(1) The protozoans, minute, aquatic creatures each of which consists of a single cell of protoplasm, constitute a classification of the most primitive forms of animal life. They are fantastically diverse, but three major groups may be identified on the basis of their motility. The Mastigophora have one or more long tails, which they use to project themselves forward. The Ciliata, which use the same basic means for locomotion as the Mastigophora, have a larger number of short tails. The Sarcodina, which include amoebae, float or row themselves about on their crusted bodies. Moon.vn – Học để khẳng định mình 3 Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 Cô PHAN ĐIỆU – Moon.vn Facebook: phandieu89 (2) In addition to their form of movement, several other features discriminate among the three groups of protozoans. For example, at least two nuclei per cell have been identified in the Ciliata, usually a large nucleus that regulates growth but decomposes during reproduction, and a smaller one that contains the genetic code necessary to generate the large nucleus. (3) Protozoans are considered animals because, unlike pigmented plants to which some protozoans are otherwise almost identical, they do not live on simple organic compounds. Their cell demonstrates all of the major characteristics of the cells of higher animals. (4) Many species of protozoans collect into colonies, physically connected to each other and responding uniformly to outside stimulae. Current research into this phenomenon, along with investigations carried out with advanced microscopes may necessitate a redefinition of what constitutes protozoans, even calling into question the basic premise that they have only one cell. Nevertheless, with the current data available, almost 40,000 species of protozoans have been identified. No doubt, as the technology improves our methods of observation, better models of classification will be proposed. Question 36: With what topic is the passage primarily concerned? (A) Colonies of protozoans (B) Mastigophora (C) Motility in protozoans (D) Characteristics of protozoans Question 37: The word “minute” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by (A) Very common (B) Very fast (C) Very old (D) Very small Question 38: Where do protozoans probably live?

(A) A class of protozoan (B) The substance that forms the cell of a protozoan (C) A primitive animal similar to a protozoan (D) An animal that developed from a protozoan Question 40: The word “uniformly” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to (A) in the same way (B) once in a while (C) all of a sudden (D) in the long run Question 41: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to (A) protozoans (B) microscopes (C) investigations (D) colonies Moon.vn – Học để khẳng định mình 4 Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 Cô PHAN ĐIỆU – Moon.vn Facebook: phandieu89 Question 42: Which of the following statements are NOT true of protozoans?

Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did. Born in West Hartford, Connecticut, in 1758, his name has become synonymous with American dictionaries. Graduated from Yale in 1778, he was admitted to the bar in 1781 and thereafter began to practice law in Harford. Later, when he turned to teaching, he discovered how inadequate the available schoolbooks were for the children of a new and independent nation. In response to the need for truly American textbooks, Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language, a three-volume work that consisted of speller, a grammar, and a reader. The first volume, which was generally known as The American Spelling Book, was so popular that eventually it sold more than 80 million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of life. While teaching, Webster began work on the Compendious Dictionary of the English Language, which was published in 1806. In 1807, Noah Webster began his greatest work, An American Dictionary of the English Language. In preparing the manuscript, he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages, and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828, An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States. Webster’s purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings, pronounciations, and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing simplified spelling forms: develop instead of the British form develope; theater and center instead of theatre and centre; color and honor instead of colour and honour. In 1840 Webster brought out a second edition of his dictionary, which included 70.000 entries instead of the original 38.000. This edition has served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced under the Webster name. Question 43: Which of the following would the best title for the passage?

(1) Precipitation, commonly referred to as rainfall, is a measure of the quantity of water in the form of either rain, hail, or snow which reaches the ground. The average annual precipitation over the whole of the United States is thirty-six inches. It should be understood however, that a foot of snow if not equal to a foot of precipitation. A general formula for computing the precipitation of snowfall is that ten inches of snow is equal to one inch of precipitation. In New York State, for example, twenty inches of snow in one year would be recorded as only two inches of precipitation. Forty inches of rain would be recorded as forty inches of precipitation. The total annual precipitation would be recorded as forty-two inches. Moon.vn – Học để khẳng định mình 9 Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 Cô PHAN ĐIỆU – Moon.vn Facebook: phandieu89 (2) The amount of precipitation is a combined result of several factors, including location, altitude, proximity to the sea, and the direction of prevailing winds. Most of the precipitation in the United States is brought originally by prevailing winds from the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Great Lakes. Because these prevailing winds generally come from the West, the Pacific Coast receives more annual precipitation than the Atlantic Coast. Along the Pacific Coast itself, however, altitude causes some diversity in rainfall. The mountain ranges of the United States, especially the Rocky Mountain Range and the Appalachian Mountain Range, influence the amount of precipitation in their areas. East of the Rocky Mountains, the annual precipitation decreases substantially from that west of the Rocky Mountains. The precipitation north of the Appalachian Mountains is about 40 percent less than that south of the Appalachian Mountains. Question36: What does this passage mainly discuss? (A) Precipitation (B) Snowfall (C) New York State (D) A general formula Question 37: Which of the following is another word that is often used in place of precipitation? (A) Humidity (B) Wetness (C) Rainfall (D) Rain-snow Question 38: What is the average annual rainfall in inches in the United States?

(1) Interest is the sum charged for borrowing money for a fixed period of time. Principal is the term used for the money that is borrowed, and the rate of interest is the percent per year of the principal charged for its use. Most of the profits for a bank are derived from the interest that they charge for the use of their own or their depositor’s money. (2) All problems in interest may be solved by using one general equation that may be stated as follows: Interest = Principal X Rate X Time (3) Any one of the four quantities – that is, interest, principal, rate, or time – may be found when the other three are known. The time is expressed in years. The rate is expressed as a decimal fraction. Thus, 6 percent interest means six cents charged for the use of $1 of principal borrowed for one year. Although the time may be less than, equal to, or greater than one year, most applications for loans are for periods of less than one year. For purpose of computing interest for short periods, the commercial year or 360 days is commonly used, but when large sums of money are involved, exact interest is computed on the basis of 365 days.

(A) Profits (B) Rate (C) Interest (D) Principal Question 44: The word “sum” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by (A) amount (B) institution (C) customer (D) formula Question 45: The word “fixed” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to (A) definite (B) short (C) repeated (D) trial Question 46: At 4 percent interest for the use of $1 principal, how much would one pay?

(1) Alfred Bernhard Nobel, a Swedish inventor and philanthropist, bequeathed most of his vast fortune in trust as a fund from which annual prizes could be awarded to individuals and organizations who had achieved the greatest benefit to humanity in a particular year. Originally, there were six classifications for outstanding contributions designated in Nobel’s will including chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, literature, and international peace. (2) The prizes are administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. In 1969, a prize for economics endowed by the Central Bank of Sweden was added. Candidates for the prizes must be nominated in writing by a qualified Moon.vn – Học để khẳng định mình 15 Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 Cô PHAN ĐIỆU – Moon.vn Facebook: phandieu89 authority in the field of competition. Recipients in physics, chemistry, and economics are selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; in physiology or medicine by the Caroline Institute; in literature by the Swedish Academy; and in peace by the Norwegian Nobel Committee appointed by Norway’s parliament. The prizes are usually presented in Stockholm on December 10, with the King of Sweden officiating, an appropriate tribute to Alfred Nobel on the anniversary of his death.

(1)Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned undersea vehicles along with breakthroughs in satellite technology and computer equipment have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving equipment. Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish and their mental concentration was limited. Because of undersea pressure that affected their speech organs, communication among divers was difficult or impossible. But today, most oceanographers make direct observations by means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from samples taken from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites. Direct observations of the ocean floor are made not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines and aerial photography. Some of the submarines can dive to depths of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet. In addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in order to transmit information back to landbased laboratories, often via satellite. Particularly important are data about water temperature, currents and weather. Satellite photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean. Maps created from satellite pictures can represent the temperature and the color of the ocean’s surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean currents. Furthermore, computers help oceanographers to collect and analyze data from submarines and satellites. By creating a model of the ocean’s movement and characteristics, scientist can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the environment. (2) Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly and more efficiently. Some of mankind’s most serious problems, especially those concerning energy and food, may be solved with the help of observations made possible by this new technology.
