Giving children household chores at an early age helps to build (28) ___ lasting sense of mastery, responsibility and self-reliance, according to a research by Marty Rossmann, professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota. In 2002, Dr. Rossmann analyzed data from a longitudinal study (29) ___ followed 84 children across four periods in their lives - in preschool, around ages 10 and 15, and in their mid-20s.

Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is well placed for observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter’s less than 10 hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system in so far as the principal planets are concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over 3° less than that for any other planet. The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It has shown variations in both intensity and colour, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. At its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometres long and 14,000 kilometres wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude. Trang 2/4 – Mã đề 619
3. Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200°. The latitude is generally very close to -22°. It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter’s outer gas. However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its longevity may well due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent. Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted. Question 31: According to the passage, which planet typically shines the most brightly? A. Earth B. Venus C. Jupiter D. Mars Question 32: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Jupiter is bigger than all the other planets in the solar system. B. A day in Jupiter is nearly 10 hours long. C. The Red Great Spot moves more vertically than horizontally. D. Scientists have proof showing that smaller red spots are increasing their size to be other Great Red Spots. Question 33: The word “It” in paragraph 2 refers to ___. A. Great Red Spot B. Jupiter C. intensity D. colour Question 34: According to the passage, Great Red Spot ___. A. is as big as the Earth B. has different colours C. is a solid structure floating in the air D. has increased its size over the years Question 35: The word “exceptional” in paragraph 3 mostly means ___. A. sustainable B. extreme C. temporary D. infrequent 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 36 to 42. Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability. On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation. Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that bum fossil fuels. Question 36: The best title for this passage could be ___. A. Types of Power Plants B. Electricity: Harmful Effects on Our Life C. How to Produce Electricity D. Why Electricity Is So Remarkable Question 37: It can be inferred that the author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in paragraph 1 to ___. A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy B. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy C. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity D. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity Trang 3/4 – Mã đề 619
