READING COMPREHENSION (10 pts)
Read the passages and choose the best answer for each question. Reading 1
There are two main hypotheses when it comes to explaining the emergence of modern
humans. The ‘Out of Africa’ theory holds that homo sapiens burst onto the scene as a new
species around 150,000 to 200,000 years ago in Africa and subsequently replaced archaic
humans such as the Neandertals. The other model, known as multi-regional evolution or
regional continuity, posits far more ancient and diverse roots for our kind. Proponents of this
view believe that homo sapiens arose in Africa some 2 million years ago and evolved as a
single species spread across the Old World, with populations in different regions linked
through genetic and cultural exchange.
Of these two models, Out of Africa, which was originally developed based on fossil
evidence, and supported by much genetic research, has been favored by the majority of
evolution scholars. The vast majority of these genetic studies have focused on DNA from
living populations, and although some small progress has been made in recovering DNA from
Neandertal that appears to support multi-regionalism, the chance of recovering nuclear DNA
from early human fossils is quite slim at present. Fossils thus remain very much a part of the human origins debate.
Another means of gathering theoretical evidence is through bones. Examinations of
early modern human skulls from Central Europe and Australia dated to between 20,000 and
30,000 years old have suggested that both groups apparently exhibit traits seen in their
Middle Eastern and African predecessors. But the early modern specimens from Central
Europe also display Neandertal traits, and the early modern Australians showed affinities to
archaic Homo from Indonesia. Meanwhile, the debate among paleoanthropologists continues,
as supporters of the two hypotheses challenge the evidence and conclusions of each other.
61: The passage primarily discusses which of the following?
A. Evidence that supports the “Out of Africa” theory
B. Two hypotheses and some evidence on the human origins debate
C. The difficulties in obtaining agreement among theorists on the human origins debate
D. That fossils remain very much a part of the human origins debate
62: The word “emergence” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______ A. complexity B. development C. appearance D. decline
63: The word “proponents” in paragraph 1 is closet in meaning to______ A. experts B. advocates C. inspectors D. historians
64: All of the following are true EXCEPT ______
A. three methods of gathering evidence are mentioned in the passage
B. the multi-regional model goes back further in history.
C. the Out of Africa model has had more support from scholars
D. DNA studies offer one of the best ways in future to provide clear evidence.
65: The word “slim” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______ A. small B. narrow C. thin D. difficult
66: Which of the following is NOT true?
A. the vast majority of genetic studies have focused on living populations
B. early modern human skulls all support the same conclusions
C. both hypotheses focus on Africa as a location for the new species.
D. early modern Australian skulls have similarities to those from Indonesia.
67: The word “their ” in paragraph 3 refers to which of the following?
A. Middle Easterners and Africans B. skulls
C. central Europeans and Australians D. traits
68: Which of the following is NOT true about the two hypotheses?
A. Both hypotheses regard Neandertals to be the predecessors of modern humans
B. Genetic studies have supported both hypotheses
C. Both hypotheses cite Africa as an originating location.
D. One hypothesis dates the emergence of homo sapiens much earlier than the other.
69: It can be inferred from the passage that ______
A. there is likely to be an end to the debate in the near future
B. the debate will interest historians to take part in
C. the debate is likely to be less important in future
D. there is little likelihood that the debate will die down
70: According to the passage, the multi-regional evolution model posits far more diverse
roots for our kind because ______
A. Evidence from examinations of early modern human skulls has come from a number of different parts of the world.
B. DNA from Neandertal appears to support multi-regionalism
C. Populations in different regions were linked through genetic and cultural exchange
D. This has been supported by fossil evidence. Ðáp án câu 61: B Ðáp án câu 62: C Ðáp án câu 63: B Ðáp án câu 64: D Ðáp án câu 65: A Ðáp án câu 66: B Ðáp án câu 67: C Ðáp án câu 68: A Ðáp án câu 69: D Ðáp án câu 70: C Reading 2
"THE EVOLUTION OF THE BANANA, STAR OF THE WESTERN FRUIT BOWL" By Rosie Mestel
Did you hear? The genome of the banana has been sequenced, an important development in
scientist's efforts to produce better bananas.
A look at that genome has revealed curious things, said Pat Heslop-Harrison, a plant
geneticist at the University of Leicester in England who was a coauthor of the report
published this week in the journal Nature.
For example, there are regions of the banana genome that don't seem to be involved in making
proteins but are shared by many different species of plants, far beyond bananas. What, he wonders, are they doing?
There are remnants of bits of banana streak virus spliced into the banana genome (too
broken-up to cause disease, however).
There are whole sets of DNA repeats that plants normally have but bananas do not. And,
intriguingly, three times since this genus of giant herbs took an evolutionary turn away from
its relatives - the grasses - it has duplicated its entire set of chromosomes.
Two of the doublings took place at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary 65 million years ago,
back when the dinosaurs and lots of other species went extinct, Heslop-Harrison noted.
Duplications like this are known to have happened in other plant groups at this same time but
haven't occurred since, Heslop-Harrison said. Scientists don't know why, but they believe
having extra copies of genes may have imparted some stability to plants during a time of rapid
climate change after an asteroid hit Earth.
Having more than one gene of each type means that if one gene of a set loses function, the
plant still has another one that works. And there's more room for adaptability to new
circumstances, because one gene could be altered and co-opted for new purposes and there
would still be the other one left to perform the original job.
"Perhaps it's the reason [bananas have] done so well in the subsequent millions of years,"
Heslop-Harrison said. "One can ask, will changes occurring in the world's climate now mean
there's going to be a whole set of new genome duplications that will enable plants to survive?
We don't know that, but it's interesting to consider."
The banana genome sequenced by the French scientists was from the Pahang, a wild
Malaysian banana of the species Musa acuminata. It's a key species in the complicated
evolution of the bananas and plantains people eat around the world, including the Cavendish
banana that we buy at the supermarket.
The sterile Cavendish is a so-called triploid: It has three sets of chromosomes instead of the
normal two. One of those genomes came from Pahang. The others came from other subspecies of Musa acuminata.
The changes occurred stepwise, and went something like this:
● Thousands of years ago, two wild banana species from different parts of the islands of
Southeast Asia were brought into the same range by people. They formed hybrids. A
bit like mules, the hybrids were vigorous but fairly sterile.
● The hybrids were kept going without sex through propagation of their shoots.
● At some point, the hybrids developed the ability to set fruit without being fertilized.
● Then (for most bananas, including the Cavendish) came another chance event that
caused the hybrids to end up with three sets of chromosomes. Every now and again,
the few viable eggs and pollen that they made would mistakenly contain two sets of
chromosomes instead of just one.
When a double-chromosome pollen combined with a single-chromosome egg (or vice versa),
the result was a hopelessly sterile plant with even more vigorous fruit.
Events like this happened more than once and sometimes included other types of ancestral banana species.
Some scientists, in fact, have made a whole study of banana domestication and movement
around the world. They've pieced the story together using quite different strands of
information, including the genomes of wild and cultivated bananas, the microscopic relics of
banana leaf material found at archaeological sites, and even the word for "banana" in different languages.
71: In paragraph 2, the word "curious" is closest in meaning to ______ A. inquisitive B. peculiar C. nosy D. intricate
72: What does paragraph 5 suggest about bananas?
A. The banana genus may not yet be classifiable into a traditional category
B. Bananas are actually a species of grass
C. Bananas may now be categorized as "herbs" in supermarkets
D. Because banana chromosomes duplicate themselves, they have better potential for successful cloning
73: Why does the author use "intriguingly" to describe the phenomenon in paragraph 5?
A. To imply that bananas are far more interesting than other fruits
B. To make readers doubt the claims scientists are making about bananas
C. To suggest that duplication of chromosomes is a rare and interesting occurrence in the plant world
D. To encourage questions about whether bananas are grasses or herbs
74: Why is the observation in paragraph 6 important?
A. It suggests that the banana mutated its genetic structure for survival
B. It shows that bananas can be traced as far back as dinosaurs
C. It suggests that bananas were fatal to dinosaurs and other species
D. It proves that bananas are immune to atmospheric changes
75: The word "co-opted" in paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to ______ A. decided upon together B. argued against C. removed from the study D. adopted
76: The quote in paragraph 9 most closely suggests ______
A. Bananas may be an example of ways that species might alter their genetics to survive
changes in the earth's climate and atmosphere
B. That the genetic mutations of bananas have no implications for other species
C. That genetic structure is the only factor that should be considered when predicting survival
D. Though bananas have made it this far, there is no proof that they will survive the next wave
of significant atmospheric changes.
77: According to the article, all are steps in the evolution of the banana EXCEPT ______
A. Some banana hybrids began to develop three sets of chromosomes
B. The merging of two different banana species
C. Bananas reproduced widely and easily through fertilization
D. Bananas developed the ability to develop fruit without fertilization
78: The word "chance" in paragraph 16 is closest in meaning to ______ A. random B. gamble C. risky D. opportune
79: All are variations of banana mentioned in the article EXCEPT ______ A. the Cavendish B. Dolus mundi C. Musa acuminata D. plantains
