V. READING COMPREHENSION PASSAGE 1
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.
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The
motto of the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs,
boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of
packaging: usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should
try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce
waste is to buy high-quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw
them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a
customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an
important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that
customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers, empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect
the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is
saved. In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those
places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned
and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make
one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
41. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. what is involved in the recycling movement
B. how to live sensitively to the environment.
C. what people often understand about the term 'recycle'
D. how to reduce garbage disposal Đáp án câu 41:A

44. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because they produce less energy.
B. Because they have to be repaired many times.
C. Because people will soon throw them away.
D. Because customers change their ideas all the time. Đáp án câu 44:C
45. The word 'motto' is closest in meaning to _______. A. reference B. meaning C. value D. belief Đáp án câu 45:D

50. The energy used to make a can is _______ the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours. A. more than B. less than C. not worth being compared to D. as much as Đáp án câu 50:D PASSAGE 2:
A. Besides the earth’s oceans, glacier ice is the largest source of water on earth. A glacier is a
massive stream or sheet of ice that moves underneath itself under the influence of gravity. Some
glaciers travel down mountains or valleys, while others spread across a large expanse of land.
Heavily glaciated regions such as Greenland and Antarctica are called continental glaciers. These
two ice sheets encompass more than 95% of the earth’s glacial ice. The Greenland ice sheet
is almost 10,000 feet thick in some areas, and the weight of this glacier is so heavy that much of
the region has been depressed below sea level. Smaller glaciers that occur at higher elevations
are called alpine or valley glaciers. Another way of classifying glaciers is in terms of their internal
temperature. In temperate glaciers, the ice within the glacier is near its melting point. Polar
glaciers, in contrast, always maintain temperatures far below melting.
B. The majority of the earth’s glaciers are located near the poles, though glaciers exist on all
continents, including Africa and Oceania. The reason glaciers are generally formed in high alpine
regions is that they require cold temperature throughout the year, in these areas where there
is little opportunity for summer ablation (loss of mass), snow changes to compacted firm and then
crystallized ice. During periods in which melting and evaporation exceed the amount of snowfall,
glaciers will retreat rather than progress. While glaciers rely heavily on snowfall, other climatic
conditions including freezing rain, avalanches and wind, contribute to their growth. One year of
below average precipitation can stunt the growth of a glacier tremendously. With the rare 7
exception of surging glaciers, a common glacier flows about 10 inches per day in the summer and 5
inches per day in the winter. The fastest glacial surge on record occurred in 1953, when the Kutiah
Glacier in Pakistan grew more than 12 kilometers in three months.
C. The weight and pressure of ice accumulation causes glacier movement. Glaciers move out from
under themselves, via plastic deformation and basal slippage. First, the internal flow of ice crystals
begins to spread outward and downward from the thickened snow pack also known as the zone of
accumulation. Next, the ice along the ground surface begins to slip in the same direction. Seasonal
thawing at the base of the glacier helps to facilitate this slippage. The middle of a glacier moves
faster than the sides and bottom because there is no rock to cause friction. The upper part of a
glacier rides on the ice below. As a glacier moves it carves out a U-shaped valley to a riverbed, but
with much steeper walls and flatter bottom.
D. Besides the extraordinary rivers of ice, glacial erosion creates other unique physical features in
the landscape such as horns, fjords, hanging valleys, and cirques. Most of these landforms
do not become visible until after glaciers have receded. Many are created by moraines, which
occur at the sides and front of a glacier. Moraines are formed when material is picked up along the
way and deposited in a new location. When many alpine glaciers occur on the same mountain, these
moraines can create a horn. The matter horn, in the Swiss Alps is one of the most famous horns.
Fjords, which are very common in Norway, are coastal valleys that fill with ocean water during a
glacial retreat. Hanging valleys occur when two or more glacial valleys intersect at varying
elevations. It is common for waterfalls to connect the higher and lower hanging valleys,
such as in Yosemite National Park. A cirque is a large bowl-shaped valley that forms at the
front of a glacier. Cirques often have a lip on their down slope that is deep enough to hold small lakes when the ice melts away.
E.Glacier movement and shape shifting typically occur over hundreds of years. While presently
about 10% of the earth land is covered with glaciers, it is believed that during the last Ice Age
glaciers covered approximately 32% of the earth’s surface. In the past century, most glaciers
have been retreating rather flowing forward. It is unknown whether this glacial activity is due to
human impact or natural causes, but by studying glacier movement, and comparing climate and agricultural profiles over hundreds of years,
glaciologists can begin to understand
environmental issues such as global warming.
