V. READING COMPREHENSION (20 points)
Reading the following passages and choose the best answer. Passage 1
The word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the stimulated Emission
of Radiation. Ordinary light, from the Sun or a light bulb, is emitted spontaneously, when atoms
or molecules get rid of the excess energy by themselves, without any outside intervention.
Stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule holding onto excess
energy has been stimulated to emit it as light.
Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper
published in 1917. However, for many years, physicists thought that atoms and molecules always
were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always
would be much weaker. It was not until after the Second World War that physicists began trying
to make stimulated emission dominate. They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could
stimulate many others to emit light, amplifying it to much higher powers.
The first to succeed was Charles H. Townes, then at Columbia University in New York.
Instead of working with light, however, he worked with microwaves, which have a much longer
wavelength, and built a device he called a “maser”, for Microwave Amplification by the
Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Although he thought of the key idea in 1951, the first maser
was not completed until a couple of years later. Before long, many other physicists were building
masers and trying to discover how to produce stimulated emission at even shorter wavelengths.
The key concepts emerged about 1957. Townes and Arthur Schawlow, then at Bell Telephone
Laboratories, wrote a long paper outlining the conditions needed to amplify stimulated emission
of visible light waves. At about the same time, similar ideas crystallized in the mind of Gordon
Gould, then a 37-year-old graduate student at Columbia, who wrote them down in a series of
notebooks. Townes and Schawlow published their ideas in a scientific journal, Physical Review
Letters, but Gould filed a patent application. Three decades later, people still argue about who
deserves the credit for the concept of the laser.

A. A device for stimulating atoms and molecules to emit light
B. An atom in a high-energy state

45. Why was Towne’s early work with stimulated emission done with microwaves?
A. He was not concerned with light amplification.
B. It was easier to work with longer wavelengths.
C. His partner Schawlow had already begun work on the laser.
D. The laser had already been developed. Đáp án câu 45: B

B. Several people were developing the idea at the same time.
C. No one claimed credit for the development until recently.
D. The work is still incomplete. Đáp án câu 50: C Passage 2
In the world of birds, bill design is a prime example of evolutionary fine-tuning. Shorebirds
such as oystercatchers use their bills to pry open the tightly sealed shells of their prey,
hummingbirds have stiletto-like bills to probe the deepest nectar-bearing flowers, and kiwis smell
out earthworms thanks to nostrils located at the tip of their beaks. But few birds are more
intimately tied to their source of sustenance than are crossbills. Two species of these finches,
named for the way the upper and lower parts of their bills cross, rather than meet in the middle,
reside in the evergreen forests of North America and feed on the seeds held within the cones of coniferous trees.
The efficiency of the bill is evident when a crossbill locates a cone. Using a lateral motion of
its lower mandible, the bird separates two overlapping scales on the cone and exposes the seed.
The crossed mandibles enable the bird to exert a powerful biting force at the bill tips, which is
critical for maneuvering them between the scales and spreading the scales apart. Next, the
crossbill snakes its long tongue into the gap and draws out the seed. Using the combined action
of the bill and tongue, the bird cracks open and discards the woody seed covering and swallows
the nutritious inner kernel. This whole process takes but a few seconds and is repeated hundreds
of times a day. The bills of different crossbill species and subspecies vary ― some are stout and
deep, others more slender and shallow. As a rule, large-billed crossbills are better at seeming
seeds from large cones, while small-billed crossbills are more deft at removing the seeds from
small, thin-scaled cones. Moreover, the degree to which cones are naturally slightly open or
tightly closed helps determine which bill design is the best.
One anomaly is the subspecies of red crossbill known as the Newfoundland crossbill. This
bird has a large, robust bill, yet most of Newfoundland's conifers have small cones, the same
kind of cones that the slender-billed white-wings rely on.
