III. 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 folktalesB. Middle Earth was a fictional worldC. The good and evil kingdom fought for the powerD. People dominated Middle Earth

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 foodC. 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 consumptionC. 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 emotionsC. 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 abilitiesB. lack abilities that other primates haveC. have difficulty selecting when given choicesD. 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 animalsB. To show that animals are very good at using objects in their habitatC. To provide an example of the use of weapons among animalsD. To provide that certain species demonstrate greater ability in tool use than other species

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: 182would 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. original B. technical C. basic D. superior Question 54. The word "yet" is closest in meaning to _______ .

A. however B. since C. so far D. generally Question 55. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments.B. 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 availableC. 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. The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected.D. The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food.

Question 58. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?A. Communicating emotions B. Anticipating events to comeC. Remembering past experiences D. Selecting among choices

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



Trang 1/6 - Mã đề: 182Explanations 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.
