[ Although the “lie detectors” are being used by govern - Tự Học 365] 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. Although the “lie detectors” are being used by governments, police departments, and businesses that all want guaranteed ways of detecting the truth, the results are not always accurate. Lie detectors are properly called emotion detectors, for their aim is to measure bodily changes that contradict what a person says. The polygraph machine records changes in heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and the electrical activity of the skin (galvanic skin response, or GSR). In the first part of the polygraph test, you are electronically connected to the machine and asked a few neutral questions (“What is your name?”, “Where do you live?”). Your physical reactions serve as the standard (baseline) for evaluating what comes next. Then you are asked a few critical questions among the neutral ones (“When did you rob the bank?”). The assumption is that if you are guilty, your body will reveal the truth, even if you try to deny it. Your heart rate, respiration, and GSR will change abruptly as you respond to the incriminating questions. That is the theory; but psychologists have found that lie detectors are simply not reliable. Since most physical changes are the same across all emotions, machines cannot tell whether you are feeling guilty, angry, nervous, thrilled, or revved up form an exciting day. Innocent people may be tense and nervous about the whole procedure. They may react physiologically to a certain word (“bank”) not because they robbed it, but because they recently bounced a check. In either case the machine will record a “lie”. The reverse mistake is also common. Some practiced liars can lie without flinching, and others learn to beat the machine by tensing muscles or thinking about an exciting experience during neutral questions.

Câu 1: What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Lie detectors distinguish different emotions

B. Physical reaction reveal guilty

C. Lie detectors make innocent people nervous

D. How lie detectors are used and their reliability

Câu 2: According to the test, polygraph ________.

A. measure a person’s thoughts

B. always reveal the truth about a person

D. record a person’s physical reactions

Câu 3: According to the passage, what kind of questions is asked on the first part of the polygraph test?

A. incriminating

B. critical

C. emotional

D. unimportant

A. questions

B. reactions

D. evaluations

[ Pollution is a threat to many species on Earth b - Tự Học 365] 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. Pollution is a threat to many species on Earth, but sometimes it can cause species to thrive. Such is the case with Pfiesteria piscicida. A one-celled creature called a dinoflagellate, Pfiesteria inhabits warm coastal areas and river mouths, especially along the eastern United States. Although scientists have found evidence of Pfiesteria in 3,000-year-old sea floor sediments and dinoflagellates are thought to be one of the oldest life forms on earth, few people took notice of Pfiesteria.Lately, however, blooms – or huge, dense populations – of Pfiesteria are appearing in coastal waters, and in such large concentrations the dinoflagellates become ruthless killers. The blooms emit powerful toxins that weaken and entrap fish that swim into the area. The toxins eventually cause the fish to develop large bleeding sores through which the tiny creatures attack, feasting on blood and flesh. Often the damage is astounding. During a 1991 fish kill, which was blamed on Pfiesteria on North Carolina’s Neuse River, nearly one billion fish died and bulldozers had to be brought in to clear the remains from the river. Of course, such events can have a devastating effect on commercially important fish, but that is just one way that Pfiesteria causes problems. The toxins it emits affect human skin in much the same way as they affect fish skin. Additionally, fisherman and others who have spent time near Pfiesteria blooms report that the toxins seem to get into the air, where once inhaled they affect the nervous system, causing severe headaches, blurred vision, nausea, breathing difficulty, short-term memory loss and even cognitive impairment. For a while, it seemed that deadly Pfiesteria blooms were a threat only to North Carolina waters, but the problem seems to be spreading. More and more, conditions along the east coast seem to be favorable for Pfiesteria. Researchers suspect that pollutants such as animal waste from livestock operations, fertilizers washed from farmlands and waste water from mining operations have probably all combined to promote the growth of Pfiesteria in coastal waters.

Câu 1: What is true of Pfiesteria?

A. It seems to flourish in the presence of certain pollutants

B. It has been a menace to fish and humans for over 3000 years.

C. It is the oldest life form on earth

D. In large concentrations, it poses a threat to fish but not to humans.

Câu 2: What is the main function of the toxins emitted by the dinoflagellates?

A. They are quick-acting poisons that kill fish within minutes.

B. They weaken the fish just long enough for the tiny creatures to attack

C. They damage the nervous system of potential predators.

D. They cause fish to develop wounds on which creatures feed.

Câu 3: The word “astounding” in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.

A. continual

B. incredible

C. spectacular

D. apprehensive

Câu 4: What were bulldozers used for in the Neuse River?

A. cleaning up the sediment at the bottom of the river

B. excavating holes to bury the dead fish

C. scooping up the vast number of dead fish in the water

D. removing the huge amount of Pfiesteria from the river

Câu 5: According to the paragraph 2, what will NOT happen if one breathes the toxic air?

A. vomiting

B. visual impairments

C. circulatory difficulty

D. terrible headaches

Câu 6: What is especially worrying about Pfiesteria blooms?

A. Conditions are becoming increasingly favourable for their spread

B. They are fatal to humans who come in contact with them

C. They have devastated the fishing industry in U.S coastal waters

D. Researchers have no idea as to exactly what causes them

Câu 7: All of the following are true, according to the passage, EXCEPT _____

A. Pfiesteria caused the death of about one billion fish in the late 1990s

B. animal and chemical waste from farmlands, livestock and mining operations may contribute to the expansion of Pfiesteria

C. Pfiesteria was not commonly noticed despite scientific findings

D. the toxic subtances emitted by Pfiesteria have a similar effect on human and fish skins

Câu 8: In which environment would you NOT expect a Pfiesteria bloom to develop?

A. a marsh which absorbs waste water from a nearby pig farm

B. a river located near a rock quarry

C. a cool mountain lake teeming with fish

D. a river that flows through rich farmland

[ We find that bright children are rarely held b - Tự Học 365] Read the passage and mark A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with the personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes the work on individual tasks and assignments, they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

Câu 7: According to the passage, “streaming pupils” ______

A. is the act of putting pupils into class according to their academic abilities

[Improving girl’s educational levels has been demonstrated to - Tự Học 365] 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 question.Improving girl’s educational levels has been demonstrated to have clear impacts on the health and economic future of young women, which in turn improves the prospects of their entire community. The infant mortality rate of babies whose mothers have received primary education is half that of children whose mothers are illiterate. In the poorest countries of the world, 50% of girls do not attend secondary school. Yet, research shows that every extra year of school for girls increases their lifetime income by 15%. Improving female education, and thus the earning potential of women, improves the standard of living for their own children, as women invest more of their income in their families than men do. Yet, many barriers to education for girls remain. In some African countries, such as Burkina Faso, girls are unlikely to attend school for such basic reasons as a lack of private latrine facilities for girls.Higher attendance rates of high schools and university education among women, particularly in developing countries, have helped them make inroads to professional careers with better-paying salaries and wages. Education increases a woman's (and her partner and the family's) level of health and health awareness. Furthering women's levels of education and advanced training also tends to lead to later ages of initiation of sexual activity and first intercourse, later age at first marriage, and later age at first childbirth, as well as an increased likelihood to remain single, have no children, or have no formal marriage and alternatively, have increasing levels of long-term partnerships. It can lead to higher rates of barrier and chemical contraceptive use (and a lower level of sexually transmitted infections among women and their partners and children), and can increase the level of resources available to women who divorce or are in a situation of domestic violence. It has been shown, in addition, to increase women's communication with their partners and their employers, and to improve rates of civic participation such as voting or the holding of office.

Câu 1: It is stated in the first paragraph that ______.

A. women's education levels have influence on the prospect of their community

B. women who have little schooling often have no idea of raising their children

C. it is the children's schooling that helps their mothers increase their lifetime income

D. earning their own living, women take the responsibility of running the household

Câu 2: Which of the following statements is true according to the first paragraph?

A. Many children in Asia have died because of their mother's ignorance

B. Children whose mother are illiterate are unable to grow healthily

C. The higher their education level is, the more money women earn

D. It is their husbands who make women improve their education level

Câu 3: It is implied in the first paragraph that ______.

A. the husband in a family takes little responsibility in rearing the children

B. the mother in a family makes every effort to raise the children effectively

C. the children's standard of living largely depends on their mother's income

D. there are numerous reasons for women not to come to class worldwide

Câu 4: The word "barriers" in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.

A. challenges

B. problems

C. difficulties

D. limits

Câu 5: The phrase "make inroads into" in the passage can be best replaced with ______.

A. make progress in

B. celebrate achievement in

C. succeed in taking

D. take the chance in

Câu 6: According to the passage, furthering women's levels of education and advanced training does not result in ______.

A. an increased level of health awareness for the husbands

B. an increased likelihood to remain single among women

C. higher rates of barrier and chemical contraceptive use

D. improved rates of civic participation among women

Câu 7: The word "It" in the passage refers to ______.

A. furthering women's levels of education and advanced training

B. higher attendance rates of high schools and university education

C. increasing levels of long-term partnership

D. a woman's level of health and health awareness

Câu 8: What can be the best title of the reading passage?

A. Education and Women's Empowerment

B. Female Education and Social Benefits
