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 following questions.              Birds have evolved many physical attributes that contribute to their flying ability. Wings are important, but adjustable tails, large hearts and light bones play critical roles.              To fly, birds, like airplanes, move air across their wings. Wings are designed so that air above the wings is forced to move faster than air below the wing. This creates higher pressure under the wings, called lift, which pushes the bird up. Different wing types evolved for different ways of flying. Prolonged flight requires long wings and an ability to soar. Other birds need superior maneuverability. Finches and sparrows have short, broad wings. Faster birds, like hawks, have built-in spoilers that reduce turbulence while flying. This allows a steeper angle of attack without stalling.              Tails have evolved for specialized use. The tail acts like a rudder helping birds steer. Birds brake by spreading out their tails as they land. This adaptation allows them to make sudden, controlled stops-an essential skill, since most birds need to land on individual branches or on prey.              Flight takes muscle strength. If body builders has wings, they still could not flap hard enough to leave the ground. Birds have large, specialized hearts that beat much faster than the human heart and provide the necessary oxygen to the muscles. The breast muscle accounts for 15 percent of the bird’s body weight. On pigeons, it accounts for a third of their total body weight.              Birds carry no excess baggage; they have hollow feathers and hollow bones with struts inside to maintain strength, like cross beams in a bridge. Birds fly to find prey, escape predators, and attract mates-in other words, to survive.
Câu 1: What does the author imply about the body builders having wings?


A. If they flapped their wings, they could fly a little.             


B. If they had wings, their muscles would be strong enough for flight.


C. If they had wings, their hearts would still not be large for flight.       


D. Their wings would total 15 percent of their body weight.
Câu 2: What is the main idea of the passage?
 


A. Wings are the most important physical attribute of birds.      


B. Different wing styles evolved for different types of flight.


C. Birds have many specialized features that aid in their survival.                                         


D. Birds fly for many reasons.
Câu 3: According to the passage, what causes birds to rise when they start flying?


A. Long wings with hollow feathers    


B. Higher air pressure below than above the wings


C. Spreading out their tails               


D. Superior muscle strength

A. wings

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 34 to 38.In today's competitive world, what responsible parent would not want to give their children the best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers. They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future.                 No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent. The truth may even be the opposite. Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development. Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects. Ten-month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons. A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen. So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs.                  It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an early age. Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse". Now is the time when they should be out there learning to ride a bike. There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards.
Câu 1: What would be an appropriate title for this passage?


A. Never too early to start            


B. More computers mean brighter future


C. Computers in schools      


D. Let kids be kids
Câu 2: Children who spend a lot of time on their computers _______.


A. do not necessarily make more progress than those don’t


B. tend to like music and art more than those who don’t


C.  tend to have more accidents than those who don’t


D. will suffer from brain damage
Câu 3: The pronoun “they” in paragraph 2 refer to _______.


A. heads                      


B. objects         


C. babies                  


D. mouths
Câu 4: What is TRUE according to the passage?


A. Computers seriously harm children’s eyesight.


B. Parents should not put off buying a computer for their children.


C. It is better for children to take computer lessons than art lessons.


D. There is no evidence that children who use computers are cleverer than those who do not.
