The passage discusses animal behavior and consciousness. Some scientists argue that certain animals can remember events, anticipate the future, make plans and coordinate group activities, though these scientists are cautious about claiming animals have true consciousness. The passage gives the example of honeybees communicating the location of food sources through an intricate dance, though most researchers assume this ability is innate rather than showing special intelligence. However, one study found that when the location of the food source was changed, the bees were able to modify their dances, questioning the assumption that the behavior is entirely instinctual.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 6. What can we assume is NOT true about Middle Earth? A. Middle Earth was based on European folktales B. Middle Earth was a fictional world C. The good and evil kingdom fought for the power D.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 66. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To increase the speed of travel to food sources B. To communicate the location of food C. To determine the quality of food at a site D. To identify the type of nectar that is available Question 67. The phrase "the one" refers to the _______ . A. study B. chimpanzee C. ability D. pair Question 68. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ . A. vary among individuals within a species B. be related to food consumption C. be an indicator of cognitive ability D. correspond to levels of activity Question 69. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have? A. Anticipating events to come B. Communicating emotions C. Selecting among choices D. Remembering past experiences Question 70. What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2? A. The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected. B. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity. C. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. D. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food. Question 71. Scientists concluded from the experiment with chimpanzees and chocolate chips that chimpanzees _______ . A. exhibit behavior that indicates certain mathematical abilities B. lack abilities that other primates have C. have difficulty selecting when given choices D. prefer to work in pairs or groups Question 72. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To provide an example of tool use among animals B. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat C. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals D. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien.
Trang 1/6 - Mã đề: 182 The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 51. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat B. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species C. To provide an example of tool use among animals D. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals
Trang 1/6 - Mã đề: 182 Question 52. The word "yet" is closest in meaning to _______ . A. since B. generally C. however D. so far Question 53. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments. B. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. C. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior. D. The role of instinct in animal behavior. Question 54. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have? A. Selecting among choices B. Remembering past experiences C. Anticipating events to come D. Communicating emotions Question 55. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To identify the type of nectar that is available B. To determine the quality of food at a site C. To communicate the location of food D. To increase the speed of travel to food sources Question 56. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ . A. correspond to levels of activity B. be related to food consumption C. be an indicator of cognitive ability D. vary among individuals within a species Question 57. The phrase "the one" refers to the _______ . A. ability B. chimpanzee C. pair D. study Question 58.

By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 71. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals B. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species C. To provide an example of tool use among animals D. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat Question 72. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ . A. be an indicator of cognitive ability B. vary among individuals within a species C. be related to food consumption D. correspond to levels of activity Question 73. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To identify the type of nectar that is available B. To increase the speed of travel to food sources

Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. C. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food. D.

I. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 1. What does the word "trilogy" in the first paragraph mean? A. A group of three literary books B. An unrelated group of books C. A long novel D. A specific type of fantasy novel Question 2. According to the passage, when did "the Lord of the Rings" trilogy become popular with young people? A. In 1892 B. In the late 1960s C. After World War II D. Between 1936 and 1946 Question 3. What can we assume is true about Tolkien? A. He spent most of his life in the military B. He enjoyed studying mythology and folklore C. He lived in Greece D. He wrote the trilogy about his real life experience Question 4. What is the setting of Tolkien's trilogy? A. Modern - day Greece B. Middle Earth C. Oxford University D. England in the 1800's Question 5. The word "fascinating" in the second paragraph could be replaced by_________ A. thrilling B. boring C. terrifying D. extremely interesting Question 6.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 11. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ . A. vary among individuals within a species B. correspond to levels of activity C. be related to food consumption D. be an indicator of cognitive ability Question 12. The phrase "the one" refers to the _______ . A. ability B. pair C. chimpanzee D. study Question 13.

A. lack abilities that other primates have B. exhibit behavior that indicates certain mathematical abilities C. have difficulty selecting when given choices D. prefer to work in pairs or groups Question 14. The word "yet" is closest in meaning to _______ . A. since B. so far C. however D. generally Question 15. The word "rudimentary" is closest in meaning to _______ .

The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food. B. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. C.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they
Trang 1/6 - Mã đề: 182 would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 53. The word "rudimentary" is closest in meaning to _______ .

What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To increase the speed of travel to food sources B. To identify the type of nectar that is available C. To communicate the location of food D.

Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity. B. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. C.

To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species C. To provide an example of tool use among animals D. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World
Trang 1/6 - Mã đề: 182 War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 63.

Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 71.

Trang 1/6 - Mã đề: 182 Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 16. What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2? A. The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected. B. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food. C. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. D. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity. Question 17. The word "rudimentary" is closest in meaning to _______ . A. original B. superior C. technical D. basic Question 18. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The role of instinct in animal behavior. B. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. C. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments. D. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior. Question 19. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To identify the type of nectar that is available B. To determine the quality of food at a site C. To increase the speed of travel to food sources D. To communicate the location of food Question 20. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To provide an example of tool use among animals B. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals C. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species D. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat Question 21. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ . A. correspond to levels of activity B. be related to food consumption C. vary among individuals within a species D. be an indicator of cognitive ability Question 22.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 49. The word "rudimentary" is closest in meaning to _______ . A. original B. superior C. technical D. basic Question 50. The word "yet" is closest in meaning to _______ . A. however B. since C. generally D. so far Question 51. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ . A. be an indicator of cognitive ability B. be related to food consumption C. correspond to levels of activity D. vary among individuals within a species Question 52. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To increase the speed of travel to food sources B. To communicate the location of food C. To identify the type of nectar that is available D. To determine the quality of food at a site Question 53. What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2? A. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity. B. The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected. C. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. D. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food. Question 54.

Remembering past experiences Question 55. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals B.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University.

This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World
Trang 1/6 - Mã đề: 182 War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 43. The word "scrutinized" in the fourth paragraph could be replaced by_______ . A. denied B. criticized C. enjoyed D. examined Question 44. What does this paragraph mainly discuss? A. J.R.R Tolkien's work as a professor B. All of J.R.R Tolkien's fantasy books C. J.R.R Tolkien and his trilogy D. The popularity of J.R.R Tolkien Question 45. When did Tolkien begin to create this trilogy? A. When he was a professor B. When he was a student C. During World War I D. During World War II Question 46. What can we assume is NOT true about Middle Earth? A. Middle Earth was based on European folktales B. People dominated Middle Earth C. The good and evil kingdom fought for the power D. Middle Earth was a fictional world

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 53. The word "rudimentary" is closest in meaning to _______ . A. basic B. technical C. superior D. original Question 54. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To communicate the location of food B. To determine the quality of food at a site C. To identify the type of nectar that is available D. To increase the speed of travel to food sources Question 55. Scientists concluded from the experiment with chimpanzees and chocolate chips that chimpanzees _______ . A. prefer to work in pairs or groups B. lack abilities that other primates have C. have difficulty selecting when given choices D. exhibit behavior that indicates certain mathematical abilities
Trang 1/6 - Mã đề: 182 Question 56. What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2? A. The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected. B. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity. C. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. D. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food. Question 57. The phrase "the one" refers to the _______ . A. pair B. chimpanzee C. study D. ability Question 58. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have? A. Selecting among choices B. Communicating emotions C. Anticipating events to come D. Remembering past experiences Question 59. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat B. To provide an example of tool use among animals C. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals D. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species Question 60. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. B.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 6. What can we assume is NOT true about Middle Earth? A. Middle Earth was based on European folktales B. Middle Earth was a fictional world C. The good and evil kingdom fought for the power D. People dominated Middle Earth Mã đề thi 148 (Đề thi có 06 trang)

You're responsible for what happened. IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 66. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To increase the speed of travel to food sources B. To communicate the location of food C. To determine the quality of food at a site D. To identify the type of nectar that is available Question 67. The phrase "the one" refers to the _______ . A. study B. chimpanzee C. ability D. pair Question 68. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ . A. vary among individuals within a species B. be related to food consumption C. be an indicator of cognitive ability D. correspond to levels of activity Question 69. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have? A. Anticipating events to come B. Communicating emotions C. Selecting among choices D. Remembering past experiences Question 70. What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2? A. The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected. B. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity. C. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. D. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food. Question 71. Scientists concluded from the experiment with chimpanzees and chocolate chips that chimpanzees _______ . A. exhibit behavior that indicates certain mathematical abilities B. lack abilities that other primates have C. have difficulty selecting when given choices D. prefer to work in pairs or groups Question 72. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To provide an example of tool use among animals B. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat C. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals D.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien.

    Trang 1/6 -Mã đề: 182 The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 41.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 51. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat B. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species C. To provide an example of tool use among animals D. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 71. According to the passage, when did "the Lord of the Rings" trilogy become popular with young people? A. Between 1936 and 1946 B. In the late 1960s C. After World War II D. In 1892 Question 72. What is the setting of Tolkien's trilogy? A. Middle Earth B. Modern - day Greece C. Oxford University D. England in the 1800's

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 71. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals B. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species C. To provide an example of tool use among animals D. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat Question 72. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ . A. be an indicator of cognitive ability B. vary among individuals within a species C. be related to food consumption D. correspond to levels of activity Question 73. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To identify the type of nectar that is available B. To increase the speed of travel to food sources

    Trang 1/6 -Mã đề: 182 then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 38.

All of J.R.R Tolkien's fantasy books Question 39. What is one of the reasons it took Tolkien thirteen years to complete the trilogy? A. His family responsibilities B. His duties at the university C.

In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 11. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ .

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they

    Trang 1/6 -Mã đề: 182 would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 53. The word "rudimentary" is closest in meaning to _______ .

Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior. C. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. D. The role of instinct in animal behavior. Question 56. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To increase the speed of travel to food sources B. To identify the type of nectar that is available C. To communicate the location of food D. To determine the quality of food at a site Question 57. What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2? A. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity. B. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. C.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World

    Trang 1/6 -Mã đề: 182 War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 63. According to the passage, when did "the Lord of the Rings" trilogy become popular with young people? A. In 1892 B. After World War II C. Between 1936 and 1946 D. In the late 1960s Question 64. The word "fascinating" in the second paragraph could be replaced by_________ A. boring B. extremely interesting C. terrifying D. thrilling Question 65.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 26. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have? A. Selecting among choices B. Remembering past experiences C. Anticipating events to come D. Communicating emotions Question 27. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ . A. correspond to levels of activity B. be an indicator of cognitive ability C. vary among individuals within a species D. be related to food consumption Question 28. The phrase "the one" refers to the _______ . A. pair B. ability C. chimpanzee D. study Question 29. The word "yet" is closest in meaning to _______ .

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 71. What can we assume is true about Tolkien? A. He enjoyed studying mythology and folklore B. He wrote the trilogy about his real life experience C. He spent most of his life in the military D. He lived in Greece

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University. Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 71. When did Tolkien begin to create this trilogy? A. When he was a professor B. When he was a student C. During World War II D. During World War I Question 72. What does the word "trilogy" in the first paragraph mean? A. A specific type of fantasy novel B. A group of three literary books C. An unrelated group of books D. A long novel

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 49. The word "rudimentary" is closest in meaning to _______ . A. original B. superior C. technical D. basic Question 50. The word "yet" is closest in meaning to _______ . A. however B. since C. generally D. so far Question 51. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ . A. be an indicator of cognitive ability B. be related to food consumption C. correspond to levels of activity D. vary among individuals within a species Question 52. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To increase the speed of travel to food sources B. To communicate the location of food C. To identify the type of nectar that is available D. To determine the quality of food at a site Question 53. What did researchers discover in the study of honeybees discussed in paragraph 2? A. Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity. B. The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected. C. Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought. D. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food. Question 54. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have? A. Selecting among choices B. Anticipating events to come C. Communicating emotions D. Remembering past experiences Question 55. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals B. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat C. To provide an example of tool use among animals D. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species Question 56. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The role of instinct in animal behavior. B.

    Trang 1/6 -Mã đề: 182 IV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 18. Scientists concluded from the experiment with chimpanzees and chocolate chips that chimpanzees _______ . A. prefer to work in pairs or groups B. exhibit behavior that indicates certain mathematical abilities C. lack abilities that other primates have D. have difficulty selecting when given choices Question 19. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have? A. Communicating emotions B. Selecting among choices C. Remembering past experiences D. Anticipating events to come Question 20. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To determine the quality of food at a site B. To increase the speed of travel to food sources C. To communicate the location of food D. To identify the type of nectar that is available Question 21. The word "yet" is closest in meaning to _______ . A. generally B. so far C. since D. however Question 22. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The use of food in studies of animal behavior. B. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior. C. The role of instinct in animal behavior. D. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments. Question 23. The phrase "the one" refers to the _______ . A. chimpanzee B. ability C. study D. pair Question 24. The word "rudimentary" is closest in meaning to _______ . A. basic B. original C. technical D. superior Question 25. It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to _______ . A. correspond to levels of activity B. vary among individuals within a species C. be related to food consumption D. be an indicator of cognitive ability Question 26. Why are otters and mussel shells included in the discussion in paragraph 3? A. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animals B. To provide an example of tool use among animals C. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species D. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitat

    Trang 1/6 -Mã đề: 182 War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien. The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 41.

The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe. Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language. Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today. Question 43.

According to the passage, when did "the Lord of the Rings" trilogy become popular with young people? A. Between 1936 and 1946 B. In 1892 C. In the late 1960s D. After World War II VII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer: Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums. Question 53. The word "rudimentary" is closest in meaning to _______ . A. basic B. technical C. superior D. original Question 54. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site? A. To communicate the location of food B. To determine the quality of food at a site C. To identify the type of nectar that is available D. To increase the speed of travel to food sources Question 55. Scientists concluded from the experiment with chimpanzees and chocolate chips that chimpanzees _______ . A. prefer to work in pairs or groups B. lack abilities that other primates have C. have difficulty selecting when given choices D. exhibit behavior that indicates certain mathematical abilities
