For a long time, amphibians were confused with reptiles. Like reptiles, they have three-chambered hearts and are cold-blooded. Some amphibians, such as salamanders, are even shaped like lizards. However, unlike reptiles, amphibians never have claws on their toes or scales on their bodies. Furthermore, the eggs of amphibians lack shells, so they must be laid in water or in moist places.
Amphibians were the first creatures to spend sizable amounts of their lives on land. The larvae of most amphibians, such as frog tadpoles, are born with gills and live in water. However, their gills disappear as they develop lungs. Most retain the ability to breathe through the moist surface of their skin. This comes in handy when they hibernate in the bottom mud of lakes and ponds during the coldest months. They take in the small amount of oxygen they need through their skin. Some amphibians undergo what is known as a "double metamorphosis", changing not only from gill breathers to lung breathers but also from vegetarians to insectivores.
Although the amphibian class is rather small in number of species, it shows great diversity. There are three major types. The caecilians of the tropics are long, legless, burrowing creatures. Caudate amphibians, such as newts and salamanders, mostly have long tails and stubby legs. Salientians, which include both frogs and toads, are tailless as adults and have powerful hind legs. Toads differ from frogs primarily in that they have dry, warty skin.

A. contrast different types of amphibians	B. define and describe amphibians
C. trace the development of amphibians from larvae to adults	
D. explain how amphibians differ from other creatures

Câu 34: According to the passage, the term "double metamorphosis" refers to the fact that amphibians _____. A. change both the shape of their bodies and the way in which they lay eggs
B. change both their methods of breathing and their feeding habits
C. first breathe through their gills, then through their lungs, then through their skin

Galaxies are not evenly distributed throughout the universe. A few are found alone, but almost all are grouped in formations termed galactic clusters. These formations should not be confused with stellar clusters, globular clusters of stars that exist within a galaxy. The size of galactic clusters varies enormously, with some clusters containing only a dozen or so members and others containing as many as 10,000. Moreover, galactic clusters themselves are part of larger clusters of clusters, termed superclusters. It is surmised that even clusters of superclusters are possible.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a galactic cluster called the Local Group, which has twenty members and is typical in terms of the types of galaxies it contains. There are three large spiral galaxies: Andromeda, the largest galaxy in the group; the Milky Way, the second-largest galaxy; and the Trianglum Spiral, the third largest. There are also four medium-sized spiral galaxies, including the Large Cloud of Magellan and the Small Cloud of Magellan. There are four regular elliptical galaxies; the remainders are dwarf ellipticals. Other than our own galaxy, only Andromeda and the Clouds of Magellan can be seen with the naked eye, and the Clouds are visible only from the Southern Hemisphere.
In the vicinity of the Local Group are several clusters, each containing around twelve members. The nearest cluster rich in members is the Virgo Cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies of all types. Like most large clusters, it emits X-rays. The Local Group, the small neighboring clusters, and the Virgo Cluster form part of a much larger cluster of clusters – the Local Supercluster.
The existence of galactic clusters presented a riddle to scientists for many years – the “missing mass” problem. Clusters are presumably held together by the gravity generated by their members. However, measurements showed that the galaxies did not have enough mass to explain their apparent stability. Why didn’t these clusters disintegrate? It is now thought that galaxies contain great amounts of “dark matter”, which cannot be directly observed but which generates gravitational pull.
This matter includes gas, dust, burnt-out stars, and even black holes.
Câu 53: Which of the followings does the passage mainly discuss?

B. They are not actually galaxies but parts of galaxies.
C. They have never been observed.	D. They are larger than other galaxies.
Câu 56: The word "globular" is closest in meaning to _____.
A. immense	B. spherical	C. dense	D. brilliant
Câu 57: The author would probably characterize the existence of clusters of superclusters as _____.
A. certain	B. surprising	C. theoretical	D. impossible
Câu 58: According to the passage, in what way is the Local Group typical of galactic clusters?
A. In its size.	B. In its shape.
C. In the number of galaxies it contains.	D. In the types of galaxies that make it up.

II. TOPIC: Write to describe your life in the 20 years’ time.
It is obvious that no one knows for sure what his tomorrow will be like, but he can make guesses. For me, it is likely that my 20 years’ time life will be very different from what it is now.
Take work first for example, I think I will get a good job which I very much want to do. There is a tendency that I will start up my own business then. I may invest in stock market and make a great fortune. I will at that time be satisfied with what I earn, and never worry about financial matters.
Studying will change, too. In 20 years’ time, it is likely that I will take various professional courses, and I tend to have several MA or PhD degrees in some different fields such as economy, education, and culture. I will probably enroll in different courses to get higher and higher diplomas.
For lifestyle, I hope I will have balanced diets, live healthily and actively. I may get married to the one I love and we plan to have one or two kids. I will spend as much time for my family as possible. We will travel to different countries in the world on our yearly holiday of course. We will also afford weekly or monthly trips to beauty spots throughout the country.
In the future, I will live in a big house with modernly-equipped living rooms, bedrooms, kitchen, toilets and an open air space garden in front of a four-car garage. As I love animals very much, I will raise some pets in my house including some different kinds of dogs, cats, parrots, doves, and others.
Transportation means are also my concern. I will then own some most fashionable hybrid luxurious cars to use in different occasions. I will travel by air whenever travelling in distances.
In my dream, I am likely to keep in touch with all high school and university friends. There will always be available most up-to-date means of communications for me to have good relationships with relatives, friends, colleagues, partners, or even acquaintances.
Naturally, the future is not ours to see, but we have rights lo lead our own life, to shape our thinking, to build up our future. As I am an optimistic and dynamic man, I will try my best to realize my dreams to make our wishes become true someday.
