The traditional view of the first terrestrial organisms is based on megafossils - relatively large specimens of essential whole plants and animals Vascular plants, related to modern seed plants and ferns, left the first comprehensive megafossil record Because of this, it has been commonly assumed that the sequence of terrestrialization reflected the evolution of 10 modern terrestrial ecosystems In this view, primitive vascular plants first colonized the margins of continental waters, followed by animals that fed on the plants, and lastly by the animals that preyed on the plant-eaters Moreover, the megafossils suggest that terrestrial life appeared and diversified explosively near the boundary between the Silurian and the Devonian periods, a little more than 400 million years ago Recently, however, paleontologists have been taking a closer look at sediments below this Silurian- Devonian geological boundary It turns out that some fossils can be extracted from these sediments by putting the rock in an acid bath The technique has uncovered new evidence from sediments that were deposited near the shores of the ancient oceans - plant microfossils and microscopic pieces of small animals In many instances, the specimens are less than one-tenth of a millimeter in diameter Although they were entombed in the rocks for hundreds of millions of years, many of the fossils consist of the organic remains of the organism These discovered fossils have not only revealed the existence of previously unknown organisms, but have also pushed back these dates for the invasion of land by multicellular organisms Our view about the nature of the early plants and animal communities are now being revised And with those revisions come new speculations about the first terrestrial life-forms Question 35: The word “drastic” is closest in meaning to A widespread B: radical C: progressive D: risky Moon.vn - Học để khẳng định Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 F Facebook: /covumaiphuong GV: VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG Question 36: According to the theory that the author calls “the traditional view”, what was the first form of life to appear on land? A Bacteria B: Meat-eating animals C: Plant-eating animals D: Vascular plants Question 37: According to the passage, what happened about 400 million years ago? A Many terrestrial life-forms died out B:New life-forms on land developed at a rapid rate C:The megafossils were destroyed by floods D: Life began to develop in the ancient seas Question 38: The word “extracted” is closest in meaning to _ _ A located B: preserved C: removed D: studied Question 39: What can be inferred from the passage about the fossils mentioned in the lines 17-20? A They have not been helpful in understanding the evolution of terrestrial life B: They were found-in approximately the same number as vascular plant fossils C: They are older than megafossils D: They consist of modern life forms Question 40: The word “instances” is closest in meaning to A methods B: processes C: cases D: reasons Question 41: The word “they” refers to _ A rocks B: shores C: oceans D: specimens Question 42: The word “entombed” is closest meaning to _ A crushed B: trapped C: produced D: excavated Question 43: Which of the following resulted from the discovery of microscopic fossils? A The time estimate for the first appearance of the terrestrial life forms was revised B: Old techniques for analyzing fossils were found to have new uses C: The origins of primitive sea life were explained D: Assumptions about the locations of ancient seas were changed Question 44: With which of the following conclusions would the author probably agree? A The evolution of terrestrial life was as complicated as the origin of life itself B: The discovery of microfossils supports the traditional view of how terrestrial life evolved C: New species have appeared at the same rate over the cause of the last 400 million years D: The technology used by paleontologists is too primitive to make accurate determinations about ages of fossils 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 45 to 54 Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese expression for “high water in a harbor.” These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to with tides Scientists often referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they result from undersea seismic activity Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to Moon.vn - Học để khẳng định Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 F Facebook: /covumaiphuong GV: VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG 700 kilometers per hour In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than one or two meters It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis are Japan and Hawaii Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often come with little warning and can, therefore, prove disastrous Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel Question 45:The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses A tides B: storm surges C: tidal waves D: underwater earthquakes Question 46:: According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT that A they are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides B: this terminology is not used by the scientific community C: they are the same as tsunamis D: they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves Question 47: The word “displaced” in line is closest in meaning to A not pleased B: located C: moved D: filtered Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis A are often identified by ships on the ocean B: generally reach heights greater than 40 meters C: are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean D: cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean Question 49:In line 10, water that is “shallow” is NOT A deep B: coastal C: tidal D: clear Question 50:A main difference between tsunamis in Japan and in Hawaii is that tsunamis in Japan are more likely to A come from greater distances B: originate in Alaska C: arrive without warning D: be less of a problem Question 51:The possessive “their” in line 18 refers to A the Hawaiian Islands B: these tsunamis C: thousands of miles D: the inhabitants of Hawaii Question 52:A “calamitous” tsunami, in line 20, is one that is A disastrous B: expected C: extremely calm D: at fault Question 53:: From the expression “on record” in line 22, it can be inferred that the tsunami that accompanied the Krakatoa volcano A was filmed as it was happening B: occurred before efficient records were kept C: was not as strong as the tsunami in Lisbon D: might not be the greatest tsunami ever Question 54:The passage suggests that the tsunami resulting from the Krakatoa volcano A was unobserved outside of the Indonesian islands B resulted in little damage c was far more destructive close to the source than far away D: caused volcanic explosions in the English Channel Moon.vn - Học để khẳng định Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 F Facebook: /covumaiphuong GV: VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG Mark the letter A, B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word or phrase that best fits each of the blank from 55 to 64 Every year a festival is (31) to commemorate the founding of our town over 150 years ago The festival (32) for a week and during that time many local people dress up in oldfashioned clothes, sometimes even wearing them at work On the first day of the celebrations an opening (33) is performed by a visiting celebrity at the band-stand in the town centre From there a colourful procession makes its (34) through the streets of the town We spend weeks beforehand preparing the floats, many of (35) are (36) by local firms and organizations In addition to these floats, there are bands and street entertainers, such as fire eaters, jugglers and clowns walking on stilts The procession ends up in the park, where a large marquee has been (37) around the marquee there are various stalls where you can buy local produce or play traditional games Throughout the week many events are organized to recreate life 150 years ago You can have your photograph (38) wearing 19th century clothes or learn traditional crafts such as basket-weaving For the children there are puppet shows and talent contests The festival attracts thousands of visitors, and (39) used to be just a small local event has now grown into a (40) tourist attraction Question 55 A held Question 56 A lengthens Question 57 A meeting Question 58 A road Question 59 A them Question 60 A supported Question 61 A rejected Question 62 A taken Question 63 A this Question 64 A splendid B decided B prolongs B ceremony B way B that B assisted B erected B developed B what B wonderful C opened C expands C show C direction C which C helped C given up C made C it C major D introduced D lasts D ritual D path D these D sponsored D built D performed D who D main II PHẦN TỰ LUẬN (2 ĐIỂM) A Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same meaning as the each sentence before it As a boy, he was a regular churchgoer (USED) _ The telephone rang right after he had left the room (HARDLY) _ Everyone’s saying the government is about to resign (RUMOURED) _ What really depresses me is this continual wet weather (GETS) _ We missed the bus because we had overslept (CONSEQUENCE) _ B In 140 words, write a paragraph about the benefits of good friendship Moon.vn - Học để khẳng định Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 F ...
