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 35 to 42

It is hard to think of a world without gas or electricity. Both are commonly used for lighting and heating today. We now can instantly flick a lighter or strike a match to make a flame. But it was not long ago that there were no such things as matches or lighters. To make fire, it was necessary to strike a piece of iron on flint for sparks to ignite some tinder. If the tinder was damp, or the flint old, you had to borrow some fire from a neighbor.

We do not know exactly when or how people first used fire. Perhaps, many ages ago, they found that sticks would burn if they were dropped into some hole where melted lava from a volcano lay boiling. They brought the lighted sticks back to make their fire in a cave. Or, they may have seen trees catch fire through being struck by lightning, and used the trees to start their own fires.

Gradually people learned they could start a fire without traveling far to find flames. They rubbed two pieces ot wood together. This method was used for thousands of years.

When people became used to making fires with which to cook food and stay warm at night, they found that certain resins or gums from trees burnt longer and brighter. They melted resins and dipped branches in the liquid to make torches that lit their homes at night. Iron stands in which torches used to be fixed can still be seen in old buildings of Europe.

There was no lighting in city streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps were installed. Boys ran about London at night carrying torches of burning material. They were called torch boys, or link boys, and earned a living by guiding visitors to friends’ houses at night.

For centuries homes were lit by candles until oil was found. Even then, oil lamps were no more effective than a cluster of candles. We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and castles, but we forget that they must have been gloomy and murky places at night
The word “splendors” in the passage could be best replaced by which of the following?

A. expensive object

B. places of scenic beauty

C. achievements

D. the beautiful and impressive features

Đáp án D

“We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and castles, but we forget that they must have been gloomy and murky places at night.” (Chúng ta biết được v những vật lộng ly của cung điện và lâu đài, nhưng quên rằng đó chắc hẳn là những nơi tối tăm và ảm đạm vào ban đêm.)

Phía sau từ “but” có những từ như “gloomy, murky” (tối tăm, ảm đảm) nên phía trước phải có nghĩa trái ngược.

Vậy: splendors = the beautiful and impressive features: vật rực rỡ, lộng lẫy

Mountaineers have noted that as they climb, for example, up to the 12,633–foot Humphreys Peak in the San Francisco Peaks in Arizona, plant life changes radically. Starting among the cacti of the Sonoran Desert, one climbs into a pine forest at 7,000 feet and a treeless alpine tundra at the summit. It may seem that plants at a given altitude are associated in what can be called “communities” – groupings of interacting species. The idea is that over time, plants that require particular climate and soil conditions come to live in the same places, and hence are frequently to be found together. Scientists who study the history of plant life are known as paleobotanists, or paleobots for short. They build up a picture of how groups of plants have responded to climate changes and how ecosystems develop. But are these associations, which are real in the present, permanent?

A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago, when small changes in the earth’s orbit and axis of rotation caused great sheets of ice to spread from the poles. These glaciers covered much of North America and Europe to depths of up to two miles, and then, as the climate warmed, they retreated. During this retreat, they left behind newly uncovered land for living things to colonize, and as those living things moved in they laid down a record we can read now. As the ice retreated and plants started to grow near a lake, they would release pollen. Some would fall into the lake, sink to the bottom, and be incorporated into the sediment. By drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to read the record of successive plant life around the lake. The fossil record seems clear; there is little or no evidence that entire groups of plants moved north together. Things that lived together in the past don’t live together now, and things that live together now didn’t live together in the past. Each individual organism moved at its own pace. The fossil record seems to be telling us that we should be thinking about preserving species by giving them room to maneuver – to respond to environmental changes.

The word “which” in last sentence of paragraph 1 refers to _______. 

A. the developments of ecosystems 

B. plant life changes 

C. the current theories of ecosystem 

D. the responses of plants to climate changes

Dịch bài đọc:

Những người leo núi đã chú ý rằng khi họ leo núi, ví dụ, lên đến đỉnh Humphreys cao 12,633 feet ở Đỉnh San Francisco ở Arizona, đời sống thực vật thay đổi hoàn toàn. Bắt đầu giữa những cây xương rồng của sa mạc Sonoran, một người leo lên một khu rừng thông ở độ cao 7,000 feet và một lãnh nguyên núi cao vô tận ở đỉnh núi. Dường như các loài thực vật ở độ cao nhất định có liên quan đến những gì có thể được gọi là “quần xã” – nhóm các loài tương tác. Ý tưởng là theo thời gian, các loài thực vật đòi hỏi điều kiện khí hậu và đất đai đặc biệt đến sống ở cùng một nơi, và do đó thường được tìm thấy cùng nhau. Các nhà khoa học nghiên cứu về lịch sử của đời sống thực vật được gọi là các nhà cổ sinh vật học (paleobotanists), hay viết tắt là “paleobots”. Họ phác họa nên một bức tranh về cách các nhóm thực vật đã ứng phó với biến đổi khí hậu và cách các hệ sinh thái phát triển. Nhưng những mối quan hệ đang xảy ra trên thực tế này có kéo dài mãi mãi?

Một thí nghiệm tự nhiên tuyệt vời đã diễn ra trên hành tinh này từ giữa 25,000 đến 10,000 năm trước, khi những thay đổi nhỏ trong quỹ đạo và trục quay của Trái đất khiến những tảng băng lớn lan ra từ các cực. Những dòng sông băng bao phủ phần lớn Bắc Mỹ và châu Âu tới độ sâu lên đến hai dặm, và sau đó, khi khí hậu ấm lên, chúng tan ra. Trong suốt quá trình tan chảy, chúng đã bỏ lại vùng đất mới chưa được khám phá để sinh vật sống, và khi những sinh vật đó chuyển đến chúng đã lập một kỷ lục chúng ta có thể đọc ngay bây giờ. Khi băng tan và thực vật bắt đầu mọc gần hồ, chúng sẽ tỏa ra phấn hoa. Một số sẽ rơi xuống hồ, chìm xuống đáy và tạo thành trầm tích. Bằng cách khoan vào đáy hồ, người ta có thể đọc được sự phát triển của đời sống thực vật kế tiếp quanh hồ. Mẫu hóa thạch có vẻ rõ ràng; có rất ít hoặc không có bằng chứng cho thấy toàn bộ các nhóm thực vật di chuyển về phía bắc cùng nhau. Những thứ sống cùng nhau trong quá khứ hiện đang không sống cùng nhau và những thứ sống cùng nhau bây giờ đã không sống cùng nhau trong quá khứ. Mỗi sinh vật riêng lẻ di chuyển theo tốc độ riêng của nó. Mẫu hóa thạch dường như đang nói với chúng ta rằng chúng ta nên suy nghĩ về việc bảo tồn các loài bằng cách cho chúng cơ hội để vận động – để thích ứng với những thay đổi môi trường.
