Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination Possible solutions to the problem are formulated These possible solutions are called hypotheses In a way, any Giáo Viên Chuyên Luyện Thi Thầy Bùi Văn Vinh – 0977.267.662 hypothesis is a leap into the unknown It extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories Question 43 Which of the following is the main subject of the passage?

Or they copy one another, perhaps out of envy or perhaps because they have shared information about the products? Research in Finland recently found overwhelming evidence that neighbours have a big influence on buying decisions When one of a person’s ten nearest neighbours bought a car, the chances that that person would buy a car of the same brand during the next week and a half (34) by 86 per cent The researchers argued that it was not just a matter of envy Used cars seemed to attract neighbours even more than new cars This suggested that people were not trying to (35) _ up with their neighbours, they were keen to learn from them Since used cars are less reliable, a recommendation of one can

of the questions from 36 to 42 Scientists have developed a new bionic computer chip that can be mated with human cells to combat disease The tiny device, smaller and thinner than a strand of hair, combines a healthy human cell with an electronic circuitry chip Doctors can control the activity of the cell by controlling the chip with a computer It has long been established that cell members become permeable when exposed to electrical impulses Researchers have conducted genetic research for years with a trial-anderror process of bombarding cells with electricity in an attempt to introduce foreign substances such as new drug treatments or genetic material They were unable to apply a particular level of voltage for a particular purpose With the new invention, the computer sends electrical impulses to the chip, which triggers the physicians to open a cell’s pores with control Researchers hope that eventually they will be able to develop more advanced chips whereby they can choose a particular voltage to activate particular tissues, whether they be muscle, bone, brain, or others They believe that they will be able to implant multiple chips into a person to deal with one problem or more than one problem Question 36 The word “strand” in the second sentence is closest in meaning to A chip B type C color D thread Question 37 The author implies that scientists are excited about the new technology because A it is possible to kill cancer with a single jolt B It allows them to be able to shock cells for the first time C It is less expensive than current techniques D It is more precise than previous techniques Question 38 The author implies that up to now, the point of applying electric impulse to cells was to Giáo Viên Chuyên Luyện Thi Thầy Bùi Văn Vinh – 0977.267.662 A open their walls to introduce medication B kill them C combine cells D stop growth Question 39 The word “bombarding” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A influencing B receiving C barraging D testing Question 40 The author states that scientists previously were aware that A electric impulses could affect cells B electric charges could harm a person C cells interact with each other through electrical charges D they could control cells with a separate computer Question 41 The author indicates that it is expected doctors will be able to A place more than one chip in a single person B place one large chip in a person to control multiple problems C place a chip directly inside a cell D place a chip inside a strand of hair Question 42 The word “triggers” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A assists B causes C shoots D damages 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 43 to 50 Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to outstandingly well Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is born with Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability to well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they Giáo Viên Chuyên Luyện Thi Thầy Bùi Văn Vinh – 0977.267.662 were capable of attaining People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice: - Marry an intelligent person - Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents - Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard - Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician Question 43 When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that A ability depends both on intelligence and on environment B ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement C intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability D different twins generally have different levels of ability Question 44 Scientists chose twins for their study because _ A each twin has the same environment as his/her twin B they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing C they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities D they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence Question 45 How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? A Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nutured B They practiced playing their instruments for many years C They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas D They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic Question 46 The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow _ A their parent’s interests B their own interests C only their interests in musical instruments D only their interests in computer games Question 47 When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid _ A pushing their children too hard B letting them play their own way C permitting them to follow their own interests D starting their education at an early age Question 48 The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage means that in order to become a genius _ A you need to have good health and good nourishment B you need intelligence and you need to develop it C you should try to move quickly and efficiently D you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard Question 49 The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means _ A “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people” B “of high quality or an acceptable standard” Giáo Viên Chuyên Luyện Thi Thầy Bùi Văn Vinh – 0977.267.662 C “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful” D “under the control or in the power of somebody else” Question 50 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _ A studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure B a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents C to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development D educational development depends completely on economic well-being THE END [...]... following generalizations are supported by the passage?
