A GREAT COMPOSER
The classical composer Ernst Hoffsberger, who passed away earlier this week, truly (51)
revolutionised the world of contemporary classical music and was a source of inspiration to a
whole generation of (52) budding young artists in various fields. In many ways his three
symphonies completely (53) overshadowed the achievements of all other composers of the late
twentieth century and by (54) fusing the classical genre with jazz, rock and latterly hip-hop, his
work at times bore little (55) resemblance to what is commonly considered to be a classical
sound. Born in California just after the Second World War, Hoffsberger had a strict religious (56)
upbringing during which he was taught classical piano by his father. He first found work as a(n)
(57) freelance, journalist, playing and composing music in his free time. During the late sixties,
he worked together in (58) collaboration with a number of other amateur musicians before finally
(59) turning professional with the first public performance of his inspirational.
Tenor Sax Concerto in 1971. From then on, throughout the seventies and eighties, each
new work seemed to surpass the limits of the orchestral medium and also helped to bring classical
music to a wider audience. What many people consider Hoffsberger's defining quality that kept
his music fresh and original was that he never lost the human (60) touch which gave him the ability
to sit down and jam with musicians and artists from all walks of life.

Revolutionize (v): to completely change something so that it is much better
Refurbished (v): made to look new again by work such as painting, repairing, and cleaning

VI. READING PASSAGE 1 (5PTS)

Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question.
Many species of fish, particularly smaller fish, travel in schools, moving in tight formations
often with the precision of the most highly disciplined military unit on parade. Some move in
synchronized hordes, while others move in starkly geometric forms. These may take the shape, for
example, of wedges, triangles, spheres, or ovals. In addition to the varieties of shapes of schools
of fish, there are countless varieties of schooling behaviors. Some fish coalesce into schools and
then spread out in random patterns, while others move into close formations at specific times, such
as feeding times, but are more spread out at other times. Some move in schools composed of
members of all age groups, while others move in schools predominantly when they are young but
take up a more solitary existence as they mature. Though this behavior is quite a regular, familiar
phenomenon, there is much that is not completely known about it, particularly the exact function
that it serves and what mechanisms fish use to make it happen. Numerous hypotheses have been
proposed and tested concerning the purpose of schooling behavior in fish. Schooling certainly
promotes the survival of the species, but questions arise as to the way the schooling enables fish
to have a better chance of surviving. Certainly, the fact that fish congregate together in schools
helps to ensure their survival in that schooling provides numerous types of protection for the
members of the school.. One form of protection derives from the sheer numbers in the school.
When a predator attacks a school containing a huge number of fish, the predator will be able to
consume only a small percentage of the school. Whereas some of the members of the school will
be lost to the predator, the majority of the school will be able to survive. Another form of
protection comes from the special coloration and markings of different types of fish. Certain
types of coloration or markings such as stripes or patterns in vibrant and shiny colors createa visual
effect when huge numbers of the fish are clustered together, making it more difficult for a
potential predator to focus on specific members of the school. A final form of protection comes
from a special sense that fish possess, a sense that is enhanced when fish swim in schools. This
special sense is related to a set of lateral line organs that consist of rows of pores leading to fluid-
filled canals. These organs are sensitive to minute vibrations in the water. The thousands of sets
of those special organs in a school of fish together can prove very effective in warning the school
about an approaching threat.
The purpose of schooling behaviour is not the only aspect of schooling that is not fully
understood. It is also unclear exactly how fish manage to maintain their tight formations. Sight
seems to play a role in the ability of fish to move in schools, and some scientists believe that, at
least in some species, sight may play the principal role. However, many experiments indicate that
more than sight is involved. Some fish school quite well in the dark or in murky water where
visibility is extremely limited. This indicates that senses other than eyesight must be involved in
enabling the schooling behavior. The lateral line system most likely plays a significant role in the
ability of fish to school. Because these lateral line organs are sensitive to the most minute
vibrations and currents, this organ system may be used by fish to detect movements among
members of their school even when eyesight is limited or unavailable.

đàn chủ yếu khi chúng còn nhỏ
64. The word it in paragraph I refers to………
A. existence B. behavior C. fish D. function
Thông tin: Though this behavior is quite a regular, familiar phenomenon, there is much that is
not completely known about it, particularly the exact function that it serves and what mechanisms

66. It is stated in paragraph 2 that………
A. fish in schools rarely have distinct markings
B. schooling fish tend to have mutedcoloration

C. the effect of coloration is multiplied when fish are massed together

đích của tập tính tạo thành đàn không phải là khía cạnh duy nhất của việc tập tính tạo thành đàn
chưa được hiểu đầy đủ.Người ta cũng không rõ chính xác làm thế nào cá kiểm soát để duy trì sự
hình thành chặt chẽ của chúng. Thị giác dường như đóng một vai trò trong khả năng cá di chuyển
trong đàn và một số nhà khoa học tin rằng, ít nhất là ở một số loài, thị giác có thể đóng vai trò
chính

70. It is NOT stated in the passage that the lateral line system
A. contains lines of pores
B. can detect movement in the water
C. quite possibly helps fish to remain schools
D. in fish is similar to sense organs in other animals
Clue: The lateral line system most likely plays a significant role in the ability of fish to school.
Because these lateral line organs are sensitive to the most minute vibrations and currents, this organ
system may be used by fish to detect movements among members of their school even when
eyesight is limited or unavailable.
= Hệ thống đường ống bên rất có thể đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong khả năng của cá đối với
bầy đàn. Do các cơ quan đường ống bên này nhạy cảm với các rungđộng và dòng chảy nhỏ nhất,
hệ thống cơ quan này có thể được cá sử dụng để phát hiện chuyển động giữa các thành viên trong
đàn ngay cả khi thị lực bị hạn chế hoặc không có.

Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question.
The word "biodiversity" is a term heard with increasing frequency in the ongoing debate
over how best to protect the world's environment, and more specifically, how to preserve its rapidly
dwindling numbers of plant and animal species. In very general terms, "biodiversity" refers to the
numbers plant and animal species that can be found in a particular habitat or ecosystem. This is
apparently a very simple concept, but the simplicity of it belies its significance. A better popular
understanding of the real meaning of biodiversity and of its importance to the circumstances in
which we presently find ourselves is critical to the success of efforts to protect the environment,
and therefore essential to our own survival.
Global biodiversity, which is the total number of plant and animal species existing on the
planet at any one time, can only be estimated; and only very roughly estimated at that.
Undoubtedly, many species remain to be discovered. Some of these, such as insects and
microscopic life, are small enough to have escaped our notice, while others dwell in areas we have
only begun to explore; the species inhabiting the deepest ocean depths, for example. It must also
be remembered that we are in the midst of a mass extinction event. Species are now disappearing
at a rate estimated to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times faster than the average for the history of
life on earth. Taken together, these two uncertain elements prevent the global biodiversity estimate
from becoming much more than an educated guess. The current best estimate is somewhere in the
neighborhood of 100 to 200 million species.
This number, while it may be of some interest to nonscientists, isn't of much real value to
researchers. They are generally more concerned with local biodiversity. Despite the apparent
enormity of the number of species that inhabit the earth as a whole, local biodiversity - the number
of species found in any one habitat - fluctuates greatly as we cross the boundaries separating the
ecosystems that make up the Earth's biosphere. It reaches its highest levels on the coral reefs and
in the tropical rain forests where there may be thousands of species per acre.
Of course, it is this value the measure of local biodiversity - that is most useful for anyone
concerned with assessing the health of an ecosystem or protecting it from destruction. In measuring
the biodiversity of a particular ecosystem, biologists are usually quite impartial when weighing the
relative significance of each species. Most are assigned a value of one, the total number of species
then representing the target value. However, there are two conditions under which one species may
be weighted more heavily than others. This would certainly be the case for any species that by
virtue of its genetic uniqueness would constitute a special loss to the global gene pool in the event
of its extinction. The tuatara is a good example of just such a species. As the only surviving
member of a family of reptiles that, except for it, died out 60 million years ago, the tuatara qualifies
on grounds of genetic uniqueness to be weighted more heavily in calculating the biodiversity of
its habitat.
A species may be accorded bonus points in the biodiversity equation for another reason as
well; it may be deemed more significant by virtue of the role it plays in the ecosystem. An example
of this would be the California sea otter. [1] The preferred food of this species of marine mammal
is the sea urchin; a marine invertebrate, which feeds on a certain type of sea grass known as kelp.
[2] Were it not for the otter's contribution in controlling the sea urchin population, the undersea
kelp forest would surely be decimated by a dramatic increase in the population of sea urchins. [3]
This would remove a key supporting element - the kelp from the habitat of many fish and
invertebrate species that depend on it. [4] This, in turn, would fundamentally alter an entire
undersea habitat and undoubtedly put a risk a number of different species that have adapted to its
peculiar characteristics. Therefore, the behavior of the otter in actively maintaining the local
diversity of species dictates that it should be assigned a higher biodiversity value.
71. What was the author's main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To explain why biodiversity is essential to our survival.
B. To explain the concept of biodiversity.
C. To show why local biodiversity is more important than global biodiversity.
D. To clarify the dangers that result from declining biodiversity.
Giải thích: Đoạn văn chủ yếu tập trung vào việc nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng của đa dạng sinh học,
cả về cách hiểu khái niệm và nhận ra tầm quan trọng của nó đối với việc bảo tồn môi trường và sự
tồn tại của chính chúng ta. Tác giả thảo luận về định nghĩa đa dạng sinh học, ước tính đa dạng sinh
học toàn cầu, sự kiện tuyệt chủng hàng loạt đang diễn ra và vai trò của các loài trong việc duy trì
sự cân bằng của hệ sinh thái. Xuyên suốt đoạn văn, mục đích chính của tác giả là truyền đạt bản
chất quan trọng của đa dạng sinh học để bảo vệ môi trường và đảm bảo hạnh phúc của chính chúng
ta.
72. The word "dwindling" in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. extinct B. diverse C. proliferating D. diminishing
Thông tin: The word "biodiversity" is a term heard with increasing frequency in the
ongoing debate over how best to protect the world's environment, and more specifically, how to
preserve its rapidly dwindling numbers of plant and animal species: Từ "đa dạng sinh học" là
một thuật ngữ được nghe với tần suất ngày càng nhiều trong các cuộc tranh luận đang diễn ra
về cách tốt nhất để bảo vệ môi trường thế giới, và cụ thể hơn là làm thế nào để bảo tồn số lượng
các loài động thực vật đang ngày càng suy giảm nhanh chóng.
73. It is implied in the passage that we don't have an accurate measure of global
biodiversity because
A. the number of species is constantly changing.
B. populations of animals move from place to place.
C. we don't know the ecological role played by all species.
D. the definition of biodiversity is not clear enough.
Thông tin: Global biodiversity, which is the total number of plant and animal species existing on
the planet at any one time, can only be estimated; and only very roughly estimated at that.
Undoubtedly, many species remain to be discovered: Đa dạng sinh học toàn cầu, là tổng số loài
thực vật và động vật tồn tại trên hành tinh tại bất kỳ thời điểm nào, chỉ có thể được ước tính; và
chỉ ước tính rất đại khái ở mức đó. Không còn nghi ngờ gì nữa, nhiều loài vẫn chưa được khám
phá.
74. The word "enormity" in the passage is closest in the meaning to

A. important B. quality C. vastness D. accuracy
Thông tin: Despite the apparent enormity of the number of species that inhabit the earth as a whole,
local biodiversity - the number of species found in any one habitat - fluctuates greatly as we cross
the boundaries separating the ecosystems that make up the Earth's biosphere: Bất chấp sự khổng
lồ rõ ràng về số lượng loài sinh sống trên toàn bộ trái đất, đa dạng sinh học địa phương - số lượng
loài được tìm thấy trong bất kỳ môi trường sống nào - dao động rất nhiều khi chúng ta vượt qua
ranh giới ngăn cách các hệ sinh thái tạo nên sinh quyển của Trái đất.
75. According to the passage, the largest number of species would be found
A. on the coral reefs.
B. in the boundary areas between local systems.
C. in the undersea kelp forests.
D. in fresh water lakes and streams.
Thông tin: It reaches its highest levels on the coral reefs and in the tropical rain forests where there
may be thousands of species per acre: Nó đạt đến mức cao nhất trên các rạn san hô và trong các
khu rừng mưa nhiệt đới, nơi có thể có hàng nghìn loài trên một mẫu Anh.
76. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT important in
assessing biodiversity?
A. The special function a particular species plays in an ecosystem.
B. The number of species present in an ecosystem.
C. The genetic uniqueness of the species within an ecosystem.
D. The size of the area an ecosystem covers.
Thông tin:
+ Câu A: A species may be accorded bonus points in the biodiversity equation for another reason
as well; it may be deemed more significant by virtue of the role it plays in the ecosystem: Một loài
cũng có thể được thưởng điểm trong phương trình đa dạng sinh học vì một lý do khác; nó có thể
được coi là quan trọng hơn nhờ vai trò của nó trong hệ sinh thái.
+ Câu B: Most are assigned a value of one, the total number of species then representing the target
value: Hầu hết được gán một giá trị là một, tổng số loài sau đó đại diện cho giá trị mục tiêu.
+ Câu C: This would certainly be the case for any species that by virtue of its genetic uniqueness
would constitute a special loss to the global gene pool in the event of its extinction: Điều này chắc
chắn sẽ xảy ra đối với bất kỳ loài nào do tính độc đáo về di truyền của nó sẽ tạo ra một tổn thất
đặc biệt đối với nguồn gen toàn cầu trong trường hợp nó bị tuyệt chủng.
77. The author mentioned the sea urchin in the last paragraph in order to
A. illustrate the richness of life in California waters.
B. illustrate the special importance of a particular species.
C. increase the reader's awareness of the sea urchin's endangered status.
D. advocate the protection for the kelp forest environment.
Thông tin: Trong đoạn cuối, đoạn văn đề cập đến nhím biển như một ví dụ để làm nổi bật tầm quan
trọng đặc biệt của một loài cụ thể, rái cá biển California, và vai trò của nó trong việc kiểm soát
quần thể nhím biển. Đoạn văn giải thích rằng nếu không có sự đóng góp của rái cá trong việc kiểm
soát quần thể nhím biển, rừng tảo bẹ dưới đáy biển sẽ có nguy cơ bị tàn phá. Ví dụ này nhấn mạnh
tầm quan trọng của một số loài nhất định và vai trò của chúng trong việc duy trì sự cân bằng và đa
dạng của một hệ sinh thái: Trong đoạn cuối, đoạn văn đề cập đến nhím biển như một ví dụ để làm

trì sự cân bằng và đa dạng của một hệ sinh thái.
78. The word "impartial" in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. neutral B. subjective C. theoretical D. uncertain
Thông tin: In measuring the biodiversity of a particular ecosystem, biologists are usually quite
impartial when weighing the relative significance of each species: Khi đo lường tính đa dạng sinh
học của một hệ sinh thái cụ thể, các nhà sinh vật học thường khá vô tư khi cân nhắc tầm quan trọng
tương đối của từng loài.
79. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A. Local biodiversity may change, but global biodiversity does not.
B. All species have the same significance when considering biodiversity.
C. The concept of biodiversity is of little value to ecologists.

faster than the average for the history of life on earth: Các loài hiện đang biến mất với tốc độ ước
tính nhanh hơn từ 1.000 đến 10.000 lần so với mức trung bình trong lịch sử sự sống trên trái đất.
80. Look at numbers [1], [2], [3], [4] in paragraph 5 of the passage. Where
would the following sentence best fit?
The effect of this would be a dramatic loss of local biodiversity.
A. [1] B. [2] C. [3] D. [4]

Thông tin: [4] This, in turn, would fundamentally alter an entire undersea habitat and
undoubtedly put a risk a number of different species that have adapted to its peculiar
characteristics. The effect of this would be a dramatic loss of local biodiversity: ngược lại, về cơ
bản sẽ làm thay đổi toàn bộ môi trường sống dưới đáy biển và chắc chắn gây nguy hiểm cho một
số loài khác nhau đã thích nghi với các đặc điểm đặc biệt của nó. Hậu quả của việc này sẽ là sự
mất mát nghiêm trọng về đa dạng sinh học của địa phương.

for each space.
OPEN CLOZE 1 (10PTS.)
BLUE WHALES
Blue whales, the world's largest animals, have been (1) sighted again in British waters for
the first time in at least twenty years. Indications that a population of blue whales was inhabiting
the waters west of Scotland (2) came for the first time from the United States Navy, whose
surveillance system picked (3) up the songs of a lot of different whales. American zoologists
subsequently (4) identified the blue whale song among them. Now marine biologist, Carol Booker,
has actually seen a blue whale there herself. She has no (5) doubt about what she saw, because
they have (6) distinctive fins which are very small for their size. She says, 'Worldwide they were
almost extinct and it seemed they had completely vanished from the North Atlantic, so you
can (7) imagine how I felt actually seeing one! However, it is certainly too soon to say if it is an (8)
indication of a population recovery.' She goes on to say, 'What it does show (9) is the importance
of this area of the ocean for whales, and (10) how essential it is to control pollution of the seas.'
Bigger than any dinosaur known to man, blue whales are the largest animals ever to have lived on
earth. A blue whale is more than six metres long at birth and, when fully grown, its heart is the
same height as a tall man and weighs as much as a horse.

The paintings of Leonardo da Vinci have always attracted controversy. Only 14 works have
ever been (11) attributed to him and experts have questioned the (12) authenticity of several.
Not even the Mona Lisa is (13) above suspicion. The painting is neither signed nor dated and no
record of payment to Leonardo has ever been found. Believed to be the portrait of the wife of
Florentine merchant Francesco del Gioconda dating from 1502, it has been on public (14)
exhibition in the Louvre since 1804. Now housed in a bullet-proof glass case, it has
always been surrounded by (15) tight security.
Even so, on 24th August 1911, it was stolen. Initial leads came to (16) safe and no clues
to the thief's motives or the (17) nothing of the picture materialized for 15 months. In
November 1913, Florentine art dealer Alfredo Geri received a letter from someone claiming they
had the Mona Lisa and were prepared to sell it back to Italy for 500,000 lire. Geri contacted the
director of the Uffizi museum who arranged a meeting with the (18) whereabouts vendor.
He turned out to be an Italian carpenter Vincenzo Peruggia, who made the painting's
protective wooden box for the Louvre and was able to steal it because he knew the museum's
routine so well. The Mona Lisa he produced was (19) proclaimed genuine by the Uffizi and sent
back to Paris. But a British conman, Jack Dean, later insisted that he had helped Peruggia steal the
painting but substituted a copy before Peruggia took it to Italy. Could it be that the painting seen
by thousands of visitors every day in the Louvre museum is a total (20) counterfeit?

III. ERROR CORRECTION: (10PTS.)
The following passage contains 10 errors. Identify and correct them.
CHILD LABOUR
Child workers, some as young as 10, have been found to work in a textile factory in
conditions described as close to slavery to produce clothes that appear destined for one the major
high street retailers.
Speaking to a British newspaper, the children described long hours of unwaged works and
threats and beatings. The company said it was unaware that clothing intended for its stores had
been improper subcontracted to a sweatshop that used child labour. It farther announced it had
withdrawn the garments involved until it had investigated the alleged breaches of the ethic code it
imposed on manufacturers three years ago.
The discovery of these children working in appalled conditions in the Shahpur Jat area of
Delhi has renewed concerns about the outsource by some large retail chains of their garment
production to India, recognised by the United Nations as one of the world's hotspots for child
labour. According to one estimate, over 20 per cent of India's economy are dependent on children,
which comes to a total of 55 million youngsters under 14 working.
Consumers in the West should not only be demanding answers from retailers about how
their goods are produced but also should be looking into their consciences at how they spend their
money and what cheap prices in the West are worth the suffering caused by so many children.
