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 following questions.

Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours. There are two very different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways. The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks, have become flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great “wings”. They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical and “the right way up”. Conversely, fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way. There are bony fish which have a marked tendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much “taller” then they are wide. They use their whole, vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through the water as they move. Therefore, when their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their bellies. However, this raises the problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was effectively useless – In evolution this problem was solved by the lower eye “moving” around the other side. We see this process of moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish. It starts life swimming near the surface, and is symmetrical and vertically flattened, but then the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted fashion, so that one eye, for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards, and old Picasso – like vision. Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on the left, and others on either side.

The word “conversely” is closest in meaning to _______.

A. similarly

B. alternatively

C. inversely

D. contrafily

Đáp án D.

Key words: conversely.

Clue: “They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical and “the right way up”. Conversely, fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way”: Trông chúng như thể đã bị dẹt nhưng vẫn đối xứng và giữ được thăng bằng. Ngược lại, những loài cá như cá chim, cá bơn, và cá chim lớn bị dẹt theo một phương thức khác”.

Vì thông tin hai câu là trái ngược nhau và được nối bằng “conversely” nên “conversely” là ngược lại hoặc trái lại. Đáp án D. contrarily là đáp án đúng. Các đáp án còn lại không phù hợp:

A. similarly: tương tự

B. alternatively: hoặc

C. inversely: đối ngược về vị trí hoặc số lượng (không dùng để nối hai câu)

Ex: Bond yields move inversely to market price: Lợi tức trái phiếu đi ngược lại với giá thị trường.

Đáp án C.

Key words: plaice.

Phân tích:

A. have difficulties in swimming: gặp khó khăn trong bơi lội – Sai vì ngay ở câu đầu tiên ta đã biết đây là một loài được hưởng lợi nhờ việc thân nó trở nên dẹt (benefit by being flat) → nó bơi rất giỏi nhờ được hưởng lợi thế tiến hóa.

B. live near the surface: sống ở gần mặt nước – Sai vì ngay ở câu đầu tiên ta đã biết đây là một loài sống ở đáy biển (live on the sea bottom).

C. have distorted heads: có đầu méo mó – Đúng vì bài có đề cập đến việc hộp sọ của chúng bắt đầu phát triển theo một kiểu thời trang xoắn bất đối xứng. (the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted fashion)

D. have poor eyesight: có mắt kém – Sai vì trong bài chỉ nói nó hay nằm nghiêng, một con mắt lúc nào cũng nhìn xuống cát và bởi vậy cái mắt đó là vô dụng (one eye was always looking down into the sand and was effectively useless) → không phải là do mắt kém.

Vậy đáp án là C. have distorted heads.

Đáp án C.

Key words: skates and rays, examples.

Clue: The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks, have become flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great “wings”. They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical: Những chiếc giày trượt và cá voi, những người họ hàng của cá mập, đã trở nên dẹt (có thể được gọi một cách rõ ràng. Cơ thể của chúng đã phát triển sang hai bên để tạo thành những bộ “cánh” tuyệt vời. Chúng trông như thể chúng đã được làm phẳng nhưng vẫn giữ được đối xứng

Phân tích:

A. become asymmetrical: trở nên xoắn đối – Sai vì loài cá này đối xứng kép.

B. appear to fly: có thể bay – Sai vì những chiếc cánh ở đây để trong ngoặc kép, không phải giống cánh thật.

C. have spread horizontally: trải rộng sang ngang – Đúng. “Spread” là trải rộng dài, bài khóa đề cập đến những chiếc cánh lớn.

D. resemble sharks: trông giống cá mập – Sai vì loài cá đuối này chỉ có họ hàng với cá mập, ngoại hình của chúng không giống cá mập.

Vậy câu trả lời đúng là C. have spread horizontally.

Đáp án C.

Keywords: bony flatfish, move eyes around.

Clue: “In evolution this problem was solved by the lower eye “moving” around the other side. We see this process of moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish”: Khi tiến hóa, vấn đề này được giải quyết bằng cách mắt dưới di chuyển xung quanh. Chúng ta nhìn thấy quá trình di chuyển này xuất hiện trong sự phát triển của mỗi cá con dẹt có xương.

Do vậy, cá dẹt có xương khi phát triển đã có khả năng đảo một bên mắt xung quanh. Vì thế “the ability of a bony flatfish to move its eyes around excellent.” → Đáp án đúng là C. excellent.

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 28 to 35.

Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not too far off. A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology intersects with teen friendships — and the results show that 57 percent of teens have made at least one new friend online. Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever meet in person.

While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a daily basis (outside of school hallways). These new forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships day-to-day — 27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main form of communication — almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their closest friend.

While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and maintaining friendships) in the gaming world-89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play with online-only friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online garners say that playing makes them feel "more connected" to friends they know, or garners they've never met.

When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity-62 percent of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend (although 80 percent still consider their phone number the best method of contact). Despite the negative consequences-21 percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of posts they see on social media — teens also have found support and connection through various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of teens received support during a challenging time in their lives via social media platforms.

Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with current friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are more likely to block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing "drama among their friends on social media."

The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A. friends 

B. online garners

C. their teammates

D. online-only friends

Đáp án B

Từ “they” trong đoạn 3 đề cập đến _____.

A. những người bạn                                      B. những game thủ trực tuyến

C. thành viên cùng đội của họ                       D. chỉ những người bạn trực tuyến

Từ “they” thay thế cho cụm từ “những game thủ trực tuyến” trong câu phía trước.

Whether they’re close with their teammates or not, online gamers say that playing makes them feel “more connected” to friends they know, or gamers they’ve never met. (Cho dù họ có gần gũi với đồng đội hay không, thì các game thủ trực tuyến cũng nói rằng việc chơi game khiến họ cảm thấy “kết nối nhiều hơn” với bạn bè họ biết hay những game thủ mà họ chưa từng gặp.)
