    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 44.

    Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the

    earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia,

    a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the

    dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs

    were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as

    loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived

    in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone.

    The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely

    related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus

    Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog.

    The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped

    noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were

    slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely.

    Question 35: The author states that the newly discovered dinosaur remains are evidence that it was the

    largest __________.

    A. carnivorous dinosaur B. dinosaur ever

    C. South American dinosaur D. herbivorous dinosaur

    Question 36: The word Besides in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. in spite of B. mostly C. in addition to D. although.

    Question 37: The word horrifying in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. frightening B. fast C. large D. interesting

    Question 38: The word astounding in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. pleasing B. displeasing C. surprising D. terrifying

    Question 39: The author implies that the most interesting fact about the find is that this dinosaur _____.

    A. was found in the Andes B. had a powerful jaw and sharp teeth

    C. was larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex D. lived and hunted with others

  • Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 134

    Question 40: The passage indicates that prior to this discovery scientists believed that ___________.

    A. there were no meat-eating dinosaurs in the Andes

    B. meat-eating dinosaurs lived alone

    C. Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the Andes

    D. meat-eating dinosaurs were small in stature

    Question 41: The word it in the second paragraph refers to ___________.

    A. Relationship B. dog

    C. newly discovered meat-eater D. Giganotosaurus

    Question 42: The author states that the newly discovered meat-eating dinosaur is ___________.

    A. closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex. B. not closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex.

    C. not closely related to Giganotosaurus D. closely related to the large cat family

    Question 43: The word dissect in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ____________.

    A. dismember B. chew C. escape D. swallow

    Question 44: The word prey in the last sentence of the passage is closest in meaning to _________.

    A. enemy B. victim C. dinosaurs D. attacker

    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.

    Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our gardens is one

    of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted. They clog waterways,

    destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming. Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for

    one-third of all crop loss. They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants.

    The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides

    are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic

    compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and

    drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them.

    In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically

    sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems. Hence, scientists are exploring

    the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms.

    The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans. They can be

    chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast,

    some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only

    those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number

    of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed.

    Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season.

    Question 45: With what topic does this passage primarily deal?

    A. The importance of the chemical industry.

    B. The dangers of toxic chemicals.

    C. A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides.

    D. Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones.

    Question 46: The word “marring” in bold is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. spoiling B. planting C. dividing D. replacing

    Question 47: The word “clog” in bold is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. grow along B. drain C. float on D. obstruct

    Question 48: Which of the following terms does the author define in the first paragraph?

    A. weeds B. nutrients C. wildlife habitats D. grazing area

  • Trang 5/6 - Mã đề thi 134

    Question 49: Which of the following statements about the use of chemical agents as herbicides would

    the author most likely agree?

    A. It is occasionally required. B. It is safe but inefficient.

    C. It should be increased. D. It has become more dangerous recently.

    Question 50: Which of the following is NOT given as an advantage of using biological agents over

    chemical herbicides?

    A. They are safer for workers. B. They are less likely to destroy desirable plants.

    C. They are more easily available. D. They do not have to be used as often.

    Question 51: The word “innate” in bold is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. effective B. organic C. natural D. active

    Question 52: According to the passage, biological agents mainly consist of ____________.

    A. herbicides B. useful plants

    C. insects and microorganisms D. weeds

    Question 53: The word „'applications” in bold could best be replaced by which of the following?

    A. requests B. special purposes C. qualifications D. treatments

    Question 54: Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

    A. A general idea is introduced and several specific examples are given.

    B. Two possible causes of a phenomenon are compared.

    C. A problem is described and possible solutions are discussed.

    D. A recommendation is analyzed and rejected.

    correct word or phrase for each of the blanks

    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 44.

    Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the

    earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia,

    a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the

    dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs

    were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as

    loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived

    in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone.

    The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely

    related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus

    Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog.

    The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped

    noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were

    slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely.

    Question 35: The author states that the newly discovered dinosaur remains are evidence that it was the

    largest ___________.

    A. dinosaur ever B. carnivorous dinosaur

    C. herbivorous dinosaur D. South American dinosaur

    Question 36: The word Besides in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.

    A. in addition to B. in spite of C. although. D. mostly

    Question 37: The word horrifying in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.

    A. fast B. large C. interesting D. frightening

    Question 38: The word astounding in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.

    A. surprising B. pleasing C. displeasing D. terrifying

    Question 39: The author implies that the most interesting fact about the find is that this dinosaur

    ___________.

    A. had a powerful jaw and sharp teeth B. was larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex

  • Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 210

    C. lived and hunted with others D. was found in the Andes

    Question 40: The passage indicates that prior to this discovery scientists believed that ____________.

    A. there were no meat-eating dinosaurs in the Andes

    B. meat-eating dinosaurs lived alone

    C. meat-eating dinosaurs were small in stature

    D. Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the Andes

    Question 41: The word it in the second paragraph refers to ____________.

    A. newly discovered meat-eater B. Relationship

    C. dog D. Giganotosaurus

    Question 42: The author states that the newly discovered meat-eating dinosaur is ____________.

    A. not closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex. B. closely related to the large cat family

    C. not closely related to Giganotosaurus D. closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex.

    Question 43: The word dissect in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ____________.

    A. escape B. chew C. swallow D. dismember

    Question 44: The word prey in the last sentence of the passage is closest in meaning to ____________.

    A. victim B. attacker C. enemy D. dinosaurs

    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.

    Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our gardens is one

    of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted. They clog waterways,

    destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming. Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for

    one-third of all crop loss. They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants.

    The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides

    are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic

    compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and

    drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them.

    In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically

    sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems. Hence, scientists are exploring

    the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms.

    The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans. They can be

    chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast,

    some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only

    those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number

    of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed.

    Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season.

    Question 45: With what topic does this passage primarily deal?

    A. The importance of the chemical industry.

    B. The dangers of toxic chemicals.

    C. Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones.

    D. A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides.

    Question 46: The word “marring” in bold is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. replacing B. dividing C. spoiling D. planting

    Question 47: The word “clog” in bold is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. grow along B. drain C. float on D. obstruct

    Question 48: Which of the following terms does the author define in the first paragraph?

  • Trang 5/6 - Mã đề thi 210

    the author most likely agree?

    A. It is occasionally required. B. It is safe but inefficient.

    C. It has become more dangerous recently. D. It should be increased.

    Question 50: Which of the following is NOT given as an advantage of using biological agents over

    chemical herbicides?

    A. They are more easily available. B. They are less likely to destroy desirable plants.

    C. They do not have to be used as often. D. They are safer for workers.

    Question 51: The word “innate” in bold is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. active B. natural C. organic D. effective

    Question 52: According to the passage, biological agents mainly consist of ____________.

    A. herbicides B. weeds

    C. insects and microorganisms D. useful plants

    Question 53: The word „'applications” in bold could best be replaced by which of the following?

    A. requests B. qualifications C. special purposes D. treatments

    Question 54: Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

    A. A problem is described and possible solutions are discussed.

    B. A recommendation is analyzed and rejected.

    C. Two possible causes of a phenomenon are compared.

    D. A general idea is introduced and several specific examples are given.

    correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 44.

    Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the

    earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia,

    a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the

    dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs

    were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as

    loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived

    in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone.

    The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely

    related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus

    Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog.

    The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped

    noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were

    slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely.

    Question 35: The author states that the newly discovered dinosaur remains are evidence that it was the

    largest __________.

    A. dinosaur ever B. herbivorous dinosaur

    C. carnivorous dinosaur D. South American dinosaur

    Question 36: The word Besides in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. in spite of B. mostly C. although. D. in addition to

    Question 37: The word horrifying in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. interesting B. frightening C. large D. fast

    Question 38: The word astounding in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. pleasing B. displeasing C. terrifying D. surprising

    Question 39: The author implies that the most interesting fact about the find is that this dinosaur

    _____________.

    A. was found in the Andes B. had a powerful jaw and sharp teeth

    C. was larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex D. lived and hunted with others

    Question 40: The passage indicates that prior to this discovery scientists believed that ___________.

    A. meat-eating dinosaurs were small in stature

  • Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 483

    B. there were no meat-eating dinosaurs in the Andes

    C. Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the Andes

    D. meat-eating dinosaurs lived alone

    Question 41: The word it in the second paragraph refers to ___________.

    A. Giganotosaurus B. dog

    C. newly discovered meat-eater D. Relationship

    Question 42: The author states that the newly discovered meat-eating dinosaur is ___________.

    A. not closely related to Giganotosaurus B. not closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex.

    C. closely related to the large cat family D. closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex.

    Question 43: The word dissect in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ____________.

    A. escape B. swallow C. dismember D. chew

    Question 44: The word prey in the last sentence of the passage is closest in meaning to ____________.

    A. attacker B. dinosaurs C. enemy D. victim

    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.

    Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our gardens is one

    of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted. They clog waterways,

    destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming. Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for

    one-third of all crop loss. They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants.

    The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides

    are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic

    compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and

    drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them.

    In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically

    sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems. Hence, scientists are exploring

    the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms.

    The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans. They can be

    chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast,

    some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only

    those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number

    of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed.

    Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season.

    Question 45: With what topic does this passage primarily deal?

    A. Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones.

    B. A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides.

    C. The importance of the chemical industry.

    D. The dangers of toxic chemicals.

    Question 46: The word “marring” in bold is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. dividing B. spoiling C. planting D. replacing

    Question 47: The word “clog” in bold is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. obstruct B. grow along C. drain D. float on

    Question 48: Which of the following terms does the author define in the first paragraph?

    A. weeds B. wildlife habitats C. grazing area D. nutrients

    Question 49: Which of the following statements about the use of chemical agents as herbicides would the

    author most likely agree?

  • Trang 5/6 - Mã đề thi 483

    A. It should be increased. B. It is occasionally required.

    C. It has become more dangerous recently. D. It is safe but inefficient.

    Question 50: Which of the following is NOT given as an advantage of using biological agents over

    chemical herbicides?

    A. They are more easily available.

    B. They are safer for workers.

    C. They do not have to be used as often.

    D. They are less likely to destroy desirable plants.

    Question 51: The word “innate” in bold is closest in meaning to __________.

    A. active B. effective C. natural D. organic

    Question 52: According to the passage, biological agents mainly consist of ___________.

    A. insects and microorganisms B. weeds

    C. herbicides D. useful plants

    Question 53: The word “applications” in bold could best be replaced by which of the following?

    A. requests B. treatments C. qualifications D. special purposes

    Question 54: Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

    A. A recommendation is analyzed and rejected.

    B. Two possible causes of a phenomenon are compared.

    C. A problem is described and possible solutions are discussed.

    D. A general idea is introduced and several specific examples are given.

    Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

    correct word or phrase for each of the blanks.

    One of the hottest topics on the international development agenda is how to harness the power of
