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.

The reason women appear to be at greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than men might be due to a number of genetic, anatomical and  even  social  influences,  researchers  have  suggested.  Recent figures show about 65% of those  with living with dementia in the  UK are women,  with a  similar statistic seen in the US for Alzheimer’s disease, while dementia is the leading cause of death for women in England. Alzheimer’s disease is only one of the types of dementia, but the most common form. While one explanation is that dementia risk increases with age, and women have longer life expectancies than men, new research suggests there might be more to the matter, including that protein tangles found within neurons and linked to Alzheimer’s disease might spread differently in women’s brains than men’s. The study, presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Los Angeles by researchers from Vanderbilt University and which has not yet been peer-reviewed, used scans from a method called positron emission tomography. That allowed them to look at the way clumps of a protein called tau were spread in the brains of 123 men and 178 women without cognitive problems, as well as 101 men and 60 women with mild cognitive problems – although not yet diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Cognitively normal older people often have small amounts of tau in certain areas of their brain. From the data the team could build maps showing which areas of the  brain  show  similar  signals relating to tau in the scans, suggesting they are somehow connected. “Based on that we kind of try to reconstruct the pattern of spread,” Dr Sepideh Shokouhi, who is presenting the research, told the Guardian. “It is kind of like reconstructing a crime scene.” The team says the results suggest these maps look different in women and men, suggesting tau might be able to spread more rapidly across the female brain.

Other research presented at the conference – and also not yet peer reviewed – added weight to the idea that there might be differences between men and women that affect dementia risk. Research by scientists at the University of Miami has revealed a handful of genes and genetic variants appear to be linked to Alzheimer’s disease in just one biological sex or the other. While the actual importance of these factors has yet to be unpicked, and the study only looked at white participants, the team says it underscores that there could be a genetic reason for differences in the risk of dementia in men and women, and the way it develops.

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.The data from the maps may help researchers find out the treatment for dementia.

B.The men’s life expectancies are longer than women’s, so they are less suffered from Alzheimer’s.

C.All the research at the conference has been peer-reviewed before presented.

D.Female brains are likely more convenient for tau to develop than male ones.

Đáp án A

Theo đoạn văn, câu nào sau đây là đúng?

A.Dữ liệu từ bản đồ có thể giúp các nhà nghiên cứu tìm ra cách chữa trị cho bệnh mất trí nhớ.

B.Tuổi thọ của nam giới lớn hơn của nữ giới, vì vậy họ ít bị bệnh Alzheimer hơn.

C.Tất cả nghiên cứu tại hội nghị đã được kiểm duyệt trước khi trình bày.

D.Não bộ của nữ giới thì thuận tiện cho protein T phát triển hơn là não bộ nam giới. Căn cứ các thông tin sau:

While one explanation is that dementia risk increases with age, and women have longer life expectancies than men, new research suggests there might be more to the matter, including that protein tangles found within neurons and linked to Alzheimer’s disease might spread differently in women’s brains than men’s. (Đoạn 2) (Trong khi một giải thích khác cho rằng nguy cơ mất trí nhớ tăng lên theo tuổi tác, và phụ nữ thường có tuổi thọ lớn hơn nam giới, thì một nghiên cứu mới đã cho biết vấn đề có thể nghiêm trọng hơn, bao gồm tình trạng lộn xộn protein được tìm thấy trong nơ-ron và được cho là liên quan tới bệnh Alzheimer có thể phát triển 1 cách khác nhau trong não của phụ nữ và đàn ông).

The study, presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Los Angeles by researchers from Vanderbilt University and which has not yet been peer-reviewed, used scans from a method called positron emission tomography. (Đoạn 3) (Một nghiên cứu, được trình bày tại Hội nghị quốc tế Hiệp hội Alzheimer ở Los Angeles bởi các nhà nghiên cứu của đại học Vanderbilt và vẫn chưa được kiểm duyệt, đã sử dụng các hình ảnh cắt lớp từ một phương pháp gọi là chụp ảnh cắt lớp nhờ phóng xạ.)

Other research presented at the conference – and also not yet peer reviewed – added weight to the idea that there might be differences between men and women that affect dementia risk. (Đoạn 7) (Một nghiên cứu khác được trình bày tại hội nghị - và cũng chưa được kiểm duyệt – nhấn mạnh vào ý kiến rằng sự khác biệt giữa nam và nữ có thể tác động đến nguy cơ mất trí nhớ).

From the data the team could build maps showing which areas of the brain show similar signals relating to tau in the scans, suggesting they are somehow connected. (Đoạn 6) ((Từ dữ liệu đó, các nhà nghiên cứu có thể xây dựng các bản đồ chỉ ra khu vực nào của bộ não có các tín hiệu có liên quan tới protein T trong hình ảnh cắt lớp và chỉ ra chúng liên kết như thế nào).

The team says the results suggest these maps look different in women and men, suggesting tau might be able to spread more rapidly across the female brain.

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.

American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of America’s strongest exports as franchises for Mc Donald’s and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China. Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American cultural patterns.

By the late 20th century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating more poultry, fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many world cuisines in forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables available with ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative cooking style that was lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied than typical American cuisine. Along with the state’s wines, California cuisine took its place among the acknowledged forms of fine dining.

A. are popular because of their nutritious values 

B. are traditional meals of the US people

C. became more popular than meals cooked at home in China.

D. became popular with other European and Asian countries

Question 29. Which of the following is similar in meaning to the word ‘cuisine’?

A. cooking B. cooker C. cookery D. cook

Question 30. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? 

A.America’s cuisine used to have an influence on many countries. 

B. Fast foods became one of America’s strongest exports.

C. Mc Donald’s and Burger King are American food suppliers successful in Europe.

Question 31. Which of the following statements is true? 

A. By the late 20th century, fast foods had lost their popularity in the US. 

B. Americans used to eat more poultry, fish, fruits and vegetables than they do now.

C. Cooking styles of other countries began to affect Americans by the late 20th century.
