III: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.Perhaps better known than the Cullinan Diamond is the Hope Diamond, a valuable and blue gem with a background of more than 300 years as a world traveler.The 112-carat blue stone later became the Hope Diamond was mined in India sometime before the middle of the seventeenth century and was first known to be owned by Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal in memory of his beloved wife. From India, the celebrated blue stone has changed hands often, moving from location to location in distant corners of the world.In the middle of the seventeenth century, a trader from France named Jean Baptiste Tavernier acquired the large blue diamond, which was rumored to have been illegally removed from a temple Tavemier returned to France with the big blue gem, where the stone was purchased by the Sun King Louis XIV. Louis XIV had it cut down from 112 to 67 carats to make its shape symmetrical and to maximize its sparkle. The newly cut diamond, still huge by any standards, was passed down through the royal family of France, until it arrived in the hands of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. During the French Revolution, Louis XVI and his wife met their fate on the guillotine in 1793, and the big blue diamond disappeared from public sight.The diamond somehow managed to get from France to England, where banker Henry Hope purchased it from a gem dealer early in the nineteenth century. The huge blue stone was cut into a 45.5-carat oval, and at this point it took on the name by which it is known today. The diamond stayed in the Hope family for around a century, when deep indebtedness brought on by a serious gambling habit on the part of one of Henry Hope's heirs forced the sale of the diamond.                         From England, the Hope Diamond may have made its way into the hands of the Sultan of  Turkey; whatever route it took to get there, it eventually went on to the United States when American Evelyn Walsh McLean purchased it in 1911. Mrs. McLean certainly enjoyed showing the diamond off guests in her home were sometimes astounded to notice the huge stone embellishing the neck of Mrs. McLean’s Great Dane as the huge pet trotted around the grounds of her Washington, D.c. home. The Hope Diamond later became the property of jeweler Harry Winston, who presented the stunning 45.5- carat piece to the Smithsonian in 1958. The Hope Diamond is now taking a well-earned rest following its rigorous travel itinerary and is on display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., where it has been since 1958.

VII: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 .ACADEMICS AREN’T THE PROBLEMStudies about how students use their time might shed light on whether they face increased academic and financial pressures compared with earlier eras.Based on data about how students are spending time, academic or financial pressures don’t seem to be greater now than a generation ago.The data show that full-time students in all types of colleges study much less now than they did a generation ago - a full 10 hours a week less. Students are also receiving significantly higher grades. So it appears that academic pressures are, in fact, considerably lower than they used to be.The time-use data don’t suggest that students feel greater financial pressures, either. When the time savings and lower opportunity costs are factored in, college appears less expensive for most students than it was in the 1960s. And though there are now full-time students working to pay while in college, they study less even when paid work choices are held constantly.In other words, full-time students do not appear to be studying less in order to work more. They appear to be studying less and spending the extra time on leisure activities or fun. It seems hard to imagine that students feeling increased financial pressures would respond by taking more leisure.Based on how students are spending their time then, it doesn’t look as though academic or financial pressures are greater now than a generation ago. The time-use data don’t speak directly to social pressures, and it may well be that these have become more intense lately.In one recent set of data, students reported spending more than 23 hours per week either socializing with friends or playing on the computer for fun. Social activities, in person or on computer, would seem to have become the major focus of campus life. It is hard to tell what kinds of pressures would be associated with this change.

Câu 2: Research studies have shown that pressures put on students nowadays are __________.


A. not greater than the past      


B. getting ever greater


C. much greater than the past       


D. more diversified
Câu 3: Students get higher grades as__________.


A. students study much harder             


B. academic workload appears more attractive


C. academic workload appears less demanding 


D.  college’s facilities are much better
Câu 4: According to the author, the fact that students have more time for leisure is a proof that_____.


A.  financial pressure on students is not a problem


B. academic work disinterests them


C.  they are active with extra-curricular activities

Câu 5: All factors considered, college now seems___________ .


A. more costly

C. is not an indication of pressures


D. shows that students are financially pressured
Câu 7: Students nowadays seem to be studying less and__________.


A. spending more time on leisure   


B. spending more time doing odd jobs


C. giving more time to sports 


D.  taking more extracurricular activities
Câu 8: The word “focus” in the last paragraph can be replaced with__________.


A. central activity    


B. primary theme      


C. headline  


D. biggest importance
Câu 9: The author finds it hard to point out___________.


A. how students’ campus life becomes subject to academic pressure


B. what is associated with the change in students’ campus life


C.  the cause to students’ financial pressure


D. how the background of students’ campus life is built

VII:Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to  each question. Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects - an estimated 90 percent of the world's species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for  examining  patterns  of  terrestrial  biotic  diversity  and distribution.  Butterflies  also  have  a favorable  image with  the  general  public. Hence,  they  are  an  excellent  group  for  communicating  information on science and conservation issues such as diversity.  Perhaps  the aspect of butterfly diversity  that has  received  the most attention over  the past  century is the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.  For example,  in 1875 one biologist pointed out  the diversity of butterflies  in  the Amazon  when  he mentioned  that  about  700  species were  found within  an  hour's walk, whereas  the  total number  found on  the British  islands did not  exceed 66,  and  the whole of Europe  supported only  321. This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.A  general  theory  of  diversity  would  have  to  predict  not  only  this  difference  between temperate  and  tropical  zones,  but  also  patterns within  each  region,  and  how  these  patterns  vary among  different  animal  and  plant  groups. However,  for  butterflies,  variation  of  species richness within  temperate  or  tropical  regions,  rather  man  between  them,  is poorly  understood.  Indeed, comparisons  of  numbers  of  species  among  the Amazon  basin,  tropical Asia,  and Africa  are  still mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase.In  documenting geographical  variation  in  butterfly  diversity,  some  arbitrary,  practical decisions are made. Diversity,  number  of  species,  and  species  richness  are  used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New Worldbutterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.
