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. 

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products, they give him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods. 

Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. 

Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation. 

Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with, and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear. 

This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert

The word “bind” in the passage probably means _______. 

A. to make wet

B. to wash away

C. to make stay together

D. to improve

Giải thích:

bind = stick together: liên kết lại, dán chặt lại

to make wet: làm ẩm ướt                                                                   to wash away: rửa trôi

to make stay stronger: làm cho mạnh mẽ, cứng cáp hơn                     to improve: cải thiện

=> bind = to make stay stronger

Thông tin: For where there are trees their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor.

Tạm dịch: Đối với những nơi có cây cối, rễ của chúng xới đất, cho phép nước mưa chìm xuống và liên kết đất, do đó ngăn chặn việc nó bị cuốn trôi một cách dễ dàng, nhưng nơi không có cây, đất trở nên khô cứng và bạc màu.

Chọn C

Dịch bài đọc: 

Cây xanh rất hữu ích cho con người theo ba cách rất quan trọng: chúng cung cấp cho một người gỗ và các sản phẩm khác, chúng cho người đó bóng mát, và giúp ngăn chặn hạn hán và lũ lụt. 

Thật không may, ở nhiều nơi trên thế giới, con người đã không nhận ra rằng lợi ích thứ ba trong số đó là quan trọng nhất. Trong sự háo hức của mình để thu được lợi nhuận nhanh chóng từ cây xanh, người ta đã chặt phá chúng với số lượng lớn, chỉ để thấy rằng không có chúng, người ta đã mất đi những người bạn thân nhất mà mình có. 

Hai ngàn năm trước, một quốc gia giàu có và hùng mạnh đã chặt hạ cây cối của mình để chế tạo tàu chiến, để tự mình trở thành một đế chế. Nó đã giành được đế chế, nhưng không có cây cối, đất đai của nó trở nên khô cứng và bạc màu. Khi đế chế sụp đổ, đất nước này phải đối mặt với lũ lụt và nạn đói. 

Mặc dù chính phủ nhận ra tầm quan trọng của nguồn cung cấp cây xanh dồi dào, thật khó để thuyết phục người dân nhìn thấy điều này. Dân làng cần gỗ để nấu thức ăn của mình và người đó có thể kiếm tiền bằng cách đốt than hoặc bán gỗ cho người dân thị trấn. Anh ấy thường quá lười biếng hoặc quá bất cẩn để 

trồng và chăm sóc cây. Vì vậy, trừ khi chính phủ có một hệ thống kiểm soát tốt, hoặc có thể giáo dục người dân, các khu rừng sẽ dần biến mất. 

Điều này không chỉ có nghĩa là sẽ có ít cây cối hơn. Kết quả thậm chí còn nghiêm trọng hơn. Đối với những nơi có cây cối, rễ của chúng xới đất, cho phép nước mưa chìm xuống và liên kết đất, do đó ngăn chặn việc nó bị cuốn trôi một cách dễ dàng, nhưng nơi không có cây, đất trở nên khô cứng và bạc màu. Mưa rơi trên mặt đất cứng và chảy trên bề mặt, gây ra lũ lụt và mang theo lớp đất mặt màu mỡ, nơi mà cây trồng phát triển rất tốt. Khi tất cả lớp đất mặt đã biến mất, không còn gì ngoài một sa mạc vô giá trị

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.

    (1) Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect.

    (2) Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that, they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible. This can make moving very painful. 

    (3) All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and even gets smaller in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in remembering recent events.

    (4) One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart. They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body. This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart attack.

    (5) Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. There are great differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age. The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out.

    (6) Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging - believe this wearing out of the body is controlled by a built-in biological time-clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process. This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.

The word “brittle” as used in the second paragraph means _____.

A. soft and easily bent

B. hard and endurable

C. hard but easily broken

D. rigid and inflexible
