Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 29 to 36.

What is commonly called pepper in reality comes from two very different families of plants. Black and white pepper both come from the fruit of the Piper nigrum, a vine with fruits called peppercorns. The peppercorns turn from green to red as they ripen and finally blacken as they dry out. The dried-out peppercorns are ground to obtain black pepper. White pepper, which has a more subtle flavour than black pepper, comes from the same peppercorns as black pepper. To obtain white pepper, the outer hull of the peppercorn, the pericarp, is removed before the peppercorn is ground. Red and green pepper, on the other hand, come from a completely different family from black and white pepper. Red and green peppers are from the genus Capsicum. Plants of this type generally have tiny white flowers and fruit which can be any of a number of colours, shapes and sizes. These peppers range in flavour from very mild and sweet to the most incredibly burning taste imaginable. Bell peppers are the most mild, while habanros are the most burning.

Christopher Columbus is responsible for the present-day confusion over what pepper is. The Piper nigrum variety of pepper was highly valued for centuries, and high demand for pepper by Europeans was a major cause of the fifteen-century push to locate ocean routes to the spice-growing regions of Asia. When Columbus arrived in the New World in 1492, he was particularly interested in finding black pepper because of the high price it would command in Europe. Columbus came across plants from the Capsicum family in use among people of the New World, and he incorrectly identified them as relatives of black pepper. Columbus introduced the spicy Capsicum chili peppers to Europeans on his return from the 1492 voyage, and traders later spread them to Asia and Africa. These Capsicum peppers have continued to be called peppers in spite of the fact that they are not related to the black and white pepper of the Piper nigrum family

The purpose of this passage is to ______. 

A. provide the scientific classification of various types of peppers 

B. classify the variety of sizes, shapes and colours of peppers 

C. demonstrate that it was Columbus who brought peppers to Europe 

D. explain why there is confusion today over peppers

Tạm dịch: Columbus đã giới thiệu ớt chuông cay cho người châu Âu khi trở về từ chuyến đi năm 1492, và các thương nhân sau đó đã truyền bá chúng sang châu Á và châu Phi.

Dịch bài đọc:

Những gì thường được gọi là ‘pepper’ trong thực tế đến từ hai họ thực vật rất khác nhau. Hạt tiêu đen và trắng đều đến từ quả của hồ tiêu, một loại cây leo có trái gọi là hạt tiêu. Những hạt tiêu chuyển từ màu xanh sang màu đỏ khi chúng chín và cuối cùng là đen khi chúng khô. Những hạt tiêu khô được nghiền để lấy hạt tiêu đen. Hạt tiêu trắng, có hương vị tinh tế hơn hạt tiêu đen, có chung nguồn gốc từ một loại hạt tiêu khô là hạt tiêu đen. Để có được hạt tiêu trắng, vỏ ngoài của hạt tiêu, vỏ quả, được lấy ra trước khi hạt tiêu được nghiền. Mặt khác, ớt đỏ và xanh đến từ một họ hoàn toàn khác với hạt tiêu đen và trắng. Ớt đỏ và xanh là từ loài Capsicum. Loại cây này có bông hoa nhỏ màu trắng và quả có thể có nhiều màu, hình dạng và kích cỡ.

Những quả ớt này có hương vị từ rất nhẹ và ngọt đến hương vị cháy bỏng nhất có thể tưởng tượng. Ớt chuông là loại ít cay nhất, trong khi ớt habanero là loại cay nhất.

Christopher Columbus chịu trách nhiệm cho sự mơ hồ ngày nay về vấn đề ‘hạt tiêu’ là gì. Giống hồ tiêu được đánh giá cao trong nhiều thế kỷ và nhu cầu tiêu thụ cao của người châu Âu là nguyên nhân chính của việc thúc đẩy trong mười lăm thế kỷ để định vị các tuyến đường biển đến các vùng trồng gia vị ở châu Á. Khi Columbus đến ‘Thế Giới Mới’ vào năm 1492, ông đặc biệt thích việc tìm kiếm hạt tiêu đen vì nó có giá thành cao ở châu Âu. Columbus tình cờ biết loại thực vật thuộc họ cây ớt chuông được sử dụng giữa những người của Thế Giới Mới, và ông ấy đã nhận định sai lầm chúng có họ hàng với hạt tiêu đen. Columbus đã giới thiệu ớt chuông cay cho người châu Âu khi trở về từ chuyến đi năm 1492, và các thương nhân sau đó đã truyền bá chúng sang châu Á và châu Phi. Những quả ớt chuông này đã tiếp tục được gọi là ‘pepper’ mặc dù thực tế là chúng không liên quan đến hạt tiêu đen và trắng của họ hồ tiêu

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.

    The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth.

    By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About five billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist.

    Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.

          After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface.

It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun ___.

A. has been in existence for 10 billion years

B. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf

C. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years

D. is rapidly changing in size and brightness

By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About five billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist.

Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.

After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface.

It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun _______.

A. has been in existence for 10 billion years

B. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf

C. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years

D. is rapidly changing in size and brightness

Đáp án B

“The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star…The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years “

Mặt trời đã tồn tại được hơn 4 tỉ năm với đặc tính là một ngôi sao lùn màu vàng

Đoạn tiếp sau có “About five billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter” /Khoảng 5 tỉ năm sau, lõi mặt trời sẽ nhỏ lại và trở nên nóng hơn.
Như vậy dựa vào các thông tin trên, ta thấy mặt trờ đã trải qua gần 1 nửa thoài gian tồn tại là ngôi sao lùn màu vàng
