Read the passage and choose the best answer for each of the questions below.
There are three different types of rives associated with the Amazon rainforest. Of course, these
types exits elsewhere in the world, yet, in the Amazon, they are most distinct. They are classified as
whitewater , clearwater, and blackwater rivers, and each displays elements that make it ecologically
distinct from the others. Clearly, one of the main reasons they have been named as such is due to the
qualities of their appearance, but there are also fundamental differences in everything from their water
consistency to abundance or lack of organisms within each type of river. While whitewater and
blackwater rivers occupy areas on the floor of the forest at minimal elevations, clearwater rivers tend to
be present at higher elevations in mountainous regions. Still, each contributes in its own way to one of
the most diverse ecosystems on the planets, the Amazon.
The clearwater rivers of the Amazon region, also called bluewater rivers, are noted for their
crystal-clear water and are typically found flowing through the rocks of the highlands and at upper
elevations. One of the main reasons why the waters are so clear is that the rocks they flow through and
over are extremely old, making erosion by the river waters difficult. This lack of erosion lends to a lack
of sediment in the water and its more transparent nature. Clearwater rivers are also much swifter than
whitewater or blackwater rivers due to their abrupt changes in gradients. Overall, clearwater rivers have a
very high mineral content, which allows plant life as well as algae to proliferate. Because of the
abundance of aglae, many other types of species of fish are able to thrive as well.
A second major type of river found in the Amazon is the whitewater river. The formidable
Amazon River itself is in this class. Ironically, whitewater rivers are usually light-chocolate colored and
have extremely low visibility because they contain heavy loads of sediment. Two of the main causes of
their high sediment content are the natural erosion of the river basin itself as well as the deforestation of
the rainforest. As deforestation continues, soil is no longer anchored by the roots of vegetation and trees
and its instead washed into the river during heavy rains that frequent the rainforest. Still, whitewater
rivers are inherently rich in nutrients and therefore support numerous types of aquatic organisms. In
contrast to clearwater rivers, whitewater rivers such as the Amazon tend to flow much more slowly
because of the low gradients involved. For example, the Amazon itself experiences only a 107-meter
change in elevation for Peru to its mouth, a distance that covers over about 3.219 kilometers.
The final major type of river in the Amazon is known as a blackwater river, of which the Rio
Negro in Brazil is a prime example and also the largest in the world. Blackwater rivers are the most
common type in the Amazon. They exhibit a deep, dark brown color due to the decomposition of leaves
and vegetation in the waters. Most vegetation contains the chemica tannin, which is released into
blackwater rivers as it begins to decompose. Blackwater rivers have excellent clarity due to their highly
acidic nature, which also benefits the river in a couple of other ways. A high acid content is an excellent
trait for a river to have because it keeps the river clean and, in many ways, more saniatry than others. The
acid kills parasites and bacteria which can threaten fish populations, as well as insect larvae such as that
of mosquitoes, reducing the spread of dangerous diseases such as malaria.
While the Amazon is a highly diverse ecosystem, one of the reasons this is so is due to the
different types of river systems within it. The Amazon is the main vein, and most blackwater and
clearwater rivers are estuaries or branches of it until they finally link at certain points along the Amazon’s
main route. For example, the Amazon and the Rio Negro finally meet at Manaus, Brazil, and, once they
do, their distinct ecosystems are combined to form an even more complex river system of life and water
quality until it eventually empties into the ocean.

Read the passage and choose the best answer for each of the questions below.
There is a growing concern that mankind is heading toward self- destruction. What are some of
the causes of this fear- the following article describes a coal- mining technique that has proven dangerous to the environment.
The federal Surface Mining Art was passed in 1977 for the laudable purpose of protecting the
environment from the ravages of strip- mining of coal for many years environmentalists had fought to get
the bill passed. Strip- mining menaces the habitat of wildlife and causes incalculable damage to the
environment. The law is explicit on such matters as where strip- mining is prohibited, the disposal of
toxic waste, the placement of power lines, and the rights to the public to take part in the control of strip-
mining. However, the secretary of the Interior has recently incurred the wrath of environmentalists by
advocating numerous proposals that repudiate the existing law.
According to the law, strip- mining is prohibited in national forests, national wildlife refuges,
public parks, historic places, and within a specified number of feet from roads, cemeteries, parks, houses
and schools. The exception to this prohibition is stated in the words valid existing rights, referring to
those miners who had rights in protected lands before the law was passed. By redefining “valid existing
rights”, the Secretary now intends to infringe upon the law by opening over a million acres of national
forest and wildlife refuges to strip- mining. Naturally, the National Wildlife Federation is appalled. This
new proposal does not augur well for wildlife, which will be destroyed by such latent killers as power
lines and tainted ponds near strip- mines.
Why is the Secretary attempting to jettison the regulations to tempestuously gained only a few
years ago? He claims that mining companies are losing money and that the new proposals would make
mining more lucrative. Irate ecologists repudiate that theory on the basis of a study made by the
department of Energy that estimates that the savings to mining companies would be less than five cents per ton of coal.
It doesn’t require a sage to foresee the wrangle that is forthcoming between proponents of
conservation and the Interior Department. The consensus among environmentalists is that unless they
obstruct the Secretary’s new regulations, this land will be ravaged and our wildlife severely maimed by
strip-mining companies for sake of a few pennies’s profit.
Câu hỏi 51. From the context of the article, the meaning of strip-mining is
A. the mining of coal on public lands. B. surface mining C. shaft mining D. illegal mining

A. fight the environmentalists. B. break the law.

There are 10 errors in the paragraph. Find and correct them. Some lines have more than one mistake. BODY LANGUAGE
Body language imparts meaning with the use of words. It is the type of non-verbal
communication. There are certain recognized distinctions like types of body language:
voluntary/involuntary and universal/cultural. The first distinction is often fuzzy in instance, a
smile can be voluntary or involuntary. However, with the second distinction, smiles aren’t
universal. They are interpreting the same across all cultures. Nodding and head shaking, however,
are cultural. In Turkey, the former is replaced by raising the eyebrows. It was thought that body
language has its roots in animal communication. However, great apes raised in captivity are quite
proficient for reading human body language. L1: 121. with (the) → without 122. the (type) → a L2: 123. like (types) → between L3: 124. in (instance) → for L4: 125. with (the) → by
