Header Page 11 of 16.
When the first white men came to America, they found natural resources of tremendous value. Forests
cover a large part of the nation, later gas, oil and minerals were found in unbelievable amounts. There was
a great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and rivers abounded with wildlife. So vast
were these resources that it seemed that they could never be used up. So forests were destroyed to make
way for farmland. Grassland and prairies were plowed and harrowed. Minerals and oil were used in great
quantities to supply a young industrial nation. Almost every river became the scene of factories, mills and
power companies. Mammals and birds were slaughtered for food and sport.
Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused millions of dollars worth of damage
yearly. The very fertile soil washed away or blew up in great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and
minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from
factories. Many of the rivers were made unfit for fish. Several species of birds disappeared, and some
mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future timber shortages were predicted. In short, Americans
soon came to realize that some sorts of conservation program must be set up, if future as well as present
Americans were to share the resources that are the heritage of every American.

46. The title that best expresses the main theme or subject of this selection is _________
What the first white men found in America
The loss of top soil.

The cause of timber shortage.
The story of America’s natural resources

Câu 47 (1 điểm)
47. It seemed to the early American settlers that __________________
fertile soil was scarce
the natural resources were inexhaustible
forests should not be cut
there was a shortage of minerals.

Câu 48 (1 điểm)
48. The use of America’s natural resources by the early settlers was _________________
careless
scientific
unbelievable
predicted

Câu 49 (1 điểm)
49. Much of the fertile soil of America has ____________
. sunk deep into the earth
been covered by lakes

been eroded by wind and water
become the scene of factories.

Câu 50 (1 điểm)

One reason why many of the rivers were no longer suitable living places for fish is that
too many fish have been caught
a conservation program has been set up
floods have caused much damage
factories have dumped waste into rivers

Câu 51 (1 điểm)
51. According to the passage, all of the following are true, EXCEPT
The early Americans settlers used a lot of minerals and oil.
They killed animals for food and sport
They grew different kinds of plants in prairies.
They plowed and harrowed grasslands and prairies.

Câu 52 (1 điểm)
52. The word “abounded with” in line 3 could best be replaced by

Câu 53 (1 điểm)
53. A. The word “silt” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to

Câu 54 (1 điểm)
Some species of birds and mammals seemed ________________
to be killed

to be slaughtered

Câu 55 (1 điểm)
55. Americans soon realized that ___________________
they should stop killing animals for food
they must give up exploiting minerals
they shouldn’t reclaim the land
they must establish a conservation program

Câu 56 (1 điểm)
56. What does the passage mainly discuss?
Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior.
The use of food in studies of animal behavior.
The role of instinct in animal behavior.
Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments.

Câu 57 (1 điểm)
Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past events, anticipate future ones,
make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious
about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing.
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions
entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior:
Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern.

The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun’s position in the sky, and
the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the
ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study,
when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent
father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear
next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting
for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce,
could have inferred the location of the new site.
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who
uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment
as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young
how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells
containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips
and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the
one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use
numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums.

57. Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought to have?
Communicating emotions
Remembering past experiences

Footer Page 13 of 16.


Header Page 14 of 16.
Selecting among choices
Anticipating events to come

Câu 58 (1 điểm)
58. What is the purpose of the honeybee at a site?

To determine the quality of food at a site
To increase the speed of travel to food sources
To identify the type of nectar that is available
To communicate the location of food

Bees are able to travel at greater speeds than scientists thought.
The bees were able to determine in advance where scientists would place their food.
Changing the location of food caused bees to decrease their dance activity.
The bees could travel 25% farther than scientists expected.
