BÀI TẬP ĐỌC HIỂU Exercise 1:Read the following pasage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite surprising. Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have since discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart stimulatin hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M. In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered . Question 01. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Risk factors in heart attacks B. Seasonal and temporal pattern of heart attacks C. Cardiology in the 1980s D. Diet and stress as factors in heart attacks Question 02. The word “trigger” as used in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to which of the following? A. involve B. affect C. cause D. encounter Question 3. What do the second and the third paragraphs of the passage mainly discuss? The link between heart attacks and marriage Unusual risk factors in heart attacks Age and gender factors in heart attacks Myths about lifestyles and heart attacks Question 4. The phrase “susceptible to” in the second paragraph could best be replaced by . A. aware of B. affected by C. accustomed to D. prone to Question 5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a possible cause of any heart attacks? A. Decreased blood flow to the heart B. Increased blood pressure C. Lower heart rate D. Increase in hormones Question 6. Which of the following is NOT cited as a possible risk factor? Having a birthday B. Getting married C. Eating fatty foods D. Being under stress Question 7. Which of the following does the passage infer? We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks. We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks. We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks. We do not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks. (ĐỀ THI THỬ TRƯỜNG THPT LIỄN SƠN – VĨNH PHÚC Lần 1) Exercise 2: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. Continents and ocean basins represent the largest identifiable bodies on Earth. On the solid portions of the planet, the second most prominent features are flat plains, elevated plateaus, and large mountain ranges. In geography, the term "continent" refers to the surface of continuous landmasses that together comprise about 29.2% of the planet's surface. On the other hand, another definition is prevalent in the general use of the term that deals with extensive main lands, such as Europe or Asia, that actually represent one very large landmass. Although all continents are bounded by the water bodies or high mountain ranges, isolated main lands, such as Greenland and India-Pakistan areas are called subcontinents. In some circles, the distinction between continents and large islands lies almost exclusively in the size of a particular landmass. The analysis of compression and tension in the earth's crust has determined that continental structures are composed of layers that underlie continental shelves. A great deal of disagreement among geologists surrounds the issue of exactly how many layers underlie each landmass because of their distinctive mineral and chemical composition. It's also quite possible that the ocean floor rests on top of unknown continents that have not yet been explored. The continental crust is believed to have been formed by means of a chemical reaction when lighter materials separated from heavier ones, thus settling at various levels within the crust. Assisted by the measurements of the specifics within crust formations by means of monitoring earthquakes, geologists can speculate that a chemical split occurred to form the atmosphere, sea water and the crust before it solidified many centuries ago. Although each continent has its special features, all consist of various combinations of components that include shields, mountain belts, intra - cratonic basins, margins, volcanic plateaus, and block-vaulted belts. The basic differences among continents lie in the proportion and the composition of these features relative to the continent size. Climatic zones have a crucial effect on the weathering and formation of the surface features, soil erosion, soil deposition, land formation, vegetation, and human activities. Mountain belts are elongated narrow zones that have a characteristic folded sedimentary organization of layers. They are typically produced during substantial crustal movements, which generate faulting and mountain building. When continental margins collide, the rise of a marginal edge leads to the formation of large mountain ranges, as explained by the plate tectonic theory. This process also accounts for the occurrence of mountain belts in ocean basins and produces evidence for the ongoing continental plate evolution. Question 8. What does this passage mainly discuss? Continental structure and crust. Continental drift and division. Scientific analyses of continental crusts. Various definitions of the term "continent". Question 9. According to the passage, how do scientists define continents? A. As masses of land without divisions. B. As extensive bodies of land. C. As surficial compositions and ranges. D. As the largest identifiable features. Question 10. The word "bounded" is closest in meaning to . A. covered B. convened C. dominated D. delimited Question 11. The author in the passage implies that the disagreement among scientists is based on the fact that . Continents undergo compression and experience tension. Continents have various underlying layers of crust. Each continent has several planes and shelves. Continents have different chemical makeup. Question 12. According to the passage, what are the differences in the structure of continents? The distinctive features of their elements. Ratios of major components and their comparative size. Climatic zones and their effect on the surface features. The proportional size of continents to one another. Question 13. The phrase "This process'' refers to . A. The rise of margins B. Mountain ranges C. Plate tectonic theory D. Continental collision Question 14. The word "evidence" in the last line is closest in meaning to . A. confirmation B. eventuality C. challenge D. exemplification (ĐỀ THI THỬ TRƯỜNG THPT LIỄN SƠN – VĨNH PHÚC Lần 1) Exercise 3: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 Overpopulation, the situation of having large numbers of people with too few resources and too little space, is closely associated with poverty. It can result from high population density, or from low amounts of resources, or from both. Excessively high population densities put stress on available resources. Only a certain number of people can be supported on a given area of land, and that number depends on how much food and other resources the land can provide. In countries where people live primarily by means of simple farming, gardening, herding, hunting, and gathering, even large areas of land can support only small numbers of people because these labor - intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts of food. In developed countries such as the United States, Japan and the countries of Western Europe, overpopulation generally is not considered a major cause of poverty. These countries produce large quantities of food through mechanized farming, which depends on commercial fertilizers, large - scale irrigation, and agricultural machinery. This form of production provides enough food to support the high densities of people in metropolitan areas. A country's level of poverty can depend greatly on its mix of population density and agricultural productivity. Bangladesh, for example, has one of the world's highest population densities, with 1,147 persons per sq km. A large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in low - productivity manual farming, which contributes to the country's extremely high level of poverty. Some of the smaller countries in Western Europe, such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have high population densities as well. These countries practice mechanized farming and are involved in high - tech indutries, therefore, they have high standards of living. At the other end of the spectrum, many countries in sub - Saharan Africa have population densities of less than 30 persons per sq km. Many people in these countries practice manual subsistence farming, these countries also have infertile land, and lack the economic resources and technology to boost productivity. As a consequence, these nations are very poor. The United States has both relatively low population density and high agricultural productivity; it is one of the world's weathiest nations. High birth rates contribute to overpopulation in many developing countries. Children are asset to many poor families because they provide labor, usually for farming. Cultural norms in traditionally rural societies commonly sanction the value of large families. Also, the goverments of developing countries often provide little or no support, financial or political, for farming planning; even people who wish to keep their families small have difficulty doing so. For all those reasons, developing countries tend to have high rates of population growth. Question 15: Which of the following is given a definition in paragraph 1? A. Poverty B. Overpopulation C. Population density D. Simple farming. Question 16: What will suffer when there are excessively high population densities? A. Available resources B. Skilled labor C. Land area D. Farming methods Question 17: The phrase “that number” in paragraph 1 refers to the number of . A. resources B. countries C. densities D. people Question 18: In certain countries, large areas of land can only yield small amounts of food because A. there are small numbers of laborers B. there is lack of mechanization C. there is no shortage of skilled labor D. there is an abundance of resources Question19: Bangladesh is a country where the level of poverty depends greatly on . its population density only its high agricultural productivity both population density and agricultural productivity population density in metropolitan areas Question 20: Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage? In sub-Saharan African countries, productivity is boosted by technology. All small countries in Western Europe have high population densities. There is no connection between a country’s culture and overpopulation. In certain developed countries, mechanized farming is applied. Question 21: Which of the following is a contributor to overpopulation in many developing countries? A. Economic resources B. High birth rates C. Sufficient financial support D. High-tech facilities Question 22: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? High Birth Rate and its Consequences Poverty in Developing Countries Overpopulation: A Cause of Poverty Overpopulation: A Worldwide Problem (ĐỀ THI THỬ TRƯỜNG THPT LÝ THÁI TỔ- BẮC NINH) Exercise 4: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 Today, there are 600 million cars in the world. They may seem like a lot. However, there are over 7 million people on our planet. Most of the world’s population uses public transportation to get around. The number of people using public transportation continues to rise. Subway systems worldwide carry 155 million passengers each day. That’s more than 30 times the number carried by all the world’s airplanes. Every day in Tokyo passengers take more than 40 million rides on public transportation. Yet many people see public transportation as ‘a depressing experience’, says author Taras Gresco. They say it is slow, crowded, or too expensive. In fact, Gresco says, it is actually ‘faster, more comfortable and cheaper’ than driving a car.Like millions of people, Taras Gresco is a ‘straphanger’ - a person who rides public transportation. In his book straphanger: Saving Our Cities and Ourselves from the Automobile, Gresco describe the benefits of public transportation. Firstly, it is better for the environment. When people use public transportation, they use less fuel. Twenty people on one bus use much less fuel than 20 people in 20 cars. Fewer cars mean less pollution and cleaner air. Using public transportation can be good for your health in other ways. It can even help you lose weight. In one study, a group of people took public transportation every day for six months. Each day they walked to a bus stop or train station. In six months, each person lost an average of six pounds - almost three kilograms. Taking public transportation has another benefit, says Gresco. It helps people become part of their community. When you are alone in your car, you don’t talk to anyone. One Tokyo straphanger told Gresco, “To use public transport is to know how to cooperate with other people,’ It teaches you ‘how to behave in a public space’. So, public transportation is more than a way to get to work or school. It can help lead to cleaner cities. It may also lead to a healthier and more cooperative world population. Question 23: According to the passage, the number of people travelling by planes each day is about A. 185 million B. 125 million C. 5 million D. 20 million Question 24: The word ‘it” in the passage refers to ................ A. driving a car B. public transportation C. author Taras Gresco. D. depressing experiece Question 25: What is not true about Taras Gresco according to the reading passage? Taras Gresco finds public transportation beneficial for both the cities and the users. Taras Gresco often travels by public transportation, especially the bus. Taras Gresco wrote a book about the benefits of public transportation. Taras Gresco launched a campaing to encourage people to use the public transportation. Question 26: Which of the following is mentioned as a benefit for a public transportation rider? He or she will be able to learn how to ride a means of public transportation. He or she will have a good chance to enjoy the natural landscape. He or she will have a good chance to make more friends with the different people. He or she will know how to behave in public places and cooperate with others. Question 27: Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as the one that benefits from the public transportation? A. the bus rider B. the environment C. the car driver D. the city Question 28: How does the environment benefit from people’s use of the public transportation ? Subways use renewable energy sources instead of the fossil fuels, making the environment cleaner. The smaller numbe of cars sold helps the automobile industry save the environment substantially. Buses and trains not only conserve energy but also save public transportation Fewer people using private transportation means less fuel used, hence cleaner environment. Question 29: Which of the following can be the best title of the reading passage? Public Transportation _ We all Benefit Public transportation - to Save the Environment Public Transportation - a way to Loose Weight. public transportation - Cleaner - Cities (ĐỀ THI THỬ TRƯỜNG THPT LÝ THÁI TỔ- BẮC NINH) Exercise 5: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 Jean spent her first few years in Hooper and her family moved to Otsego early in her life.

For a time, the Hubble telescope was the brunt of jokes and subject to the wrath of those who believed the U.S. government had spent too much money on space projects that served no valid purpose. The Hubble was sent into orbit with a satellite by the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990 amid huge hype and expectation. Yet after it was in position, it simply did not work, because the primary mirror was misshapen. It was not until 1993 that the crew of the Shuttle Endeavor arrived like roadside mechanics, opened the hatch that was installed for the purpose, and replaced the defective mirror with a good one. Suddenly, all that had originally been expected came true. The Hubble telescope was indeed the “window on the universe,” as it had originally been dubbed. When you look deep into space, you are actually looking back through time, because even though light travels at 186,000 miles a second, it requires time to get from one place to another. In fact, it is said that in some cases, the Hubble telescope is looking back eleven billion years to see galaxies already forming. The distant galaxies are speeding away from Earth, some traveling at the speed of light. Hubble has viewed exploding stars such as the Eta Carinae, which clearly displayed clouds of gas and dust billowing outward from its poles at 1.5 million miles an hour. Prior to Hubble, it was visible from traditional telescopes on earth, but its details were not ascertainable. But now, the evidence of the explosion is obvious. The star still burns five million times brighter than the sun and illuminates clouds from the inside. Hubble has also pro
