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.
	After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. 
	Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. 
	Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. 
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
Câu 45. The word "legacy" in the second paragraph means most nearly the same as _______.
	A. bequest	B. prize	C. debt	D. legend
Câu 46. In how many fields are prizes bestowed?
	A. 6	B. 5	C. 2	D. 10	
Câu 47.  All of the following statements are true EXCEPT
	A ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel's invention	
	B Politics plays an important role in selecting the winners	
	C A few individuals have won two awards	
	D Awards vary in monetary value
 Câu 48.  How much money did Nobel leaves for the prizes?
	A $9,000,000	B $155,000	C $125,000	D $30,000	
Câu 49. The Nobel prize was established in order to _________.
	A recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity	B spend money	
	C resolve political differences	D honor the inventor of dynamite
Câu 50. In the first paragraph, "worthwhile" is closest in meaning to _________ .

	C Alfred Nobel became very rich when he invented dynamite	
	D Alfred Nobel made a lasting contribution to humanity
Câu 54. In which area have Americans received the least awards?

	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.
	An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
	Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.
	However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such a region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.
Câu 55. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _________.
	A water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas	
	B the definition of air pollution will continue to change	
	C most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled	
	D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities
Câu 56. Which of the following is best supported by the passage?
	A One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws.	
	B Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants.	
	C Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution.	
	D To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws.
Câu 57. The word "detectable" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _________ .
	A measurable	B beneficial	C special	D separable	
Câu 58. The word "These" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
	A the pollutants from the developing Earth	B the components in biogeochemical cycles	C the compounds moved to the water or soil	D the various chemical reactions	
Câu 59. According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if _______.
	A it is in a localized area B. the other substances in the area are known
	C it can be calculated quickly D. the natural level is also known	
Câu 60: The word "localized" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
	A specified	B surrounded	C encircled	D circled.	
Câu 61. According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions _______.
	A will damage areas outside of the localized regions B. will react harmfully with natural pollutants	
	C can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants D. can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants
Câu 62. What does the passage mainly discuss?
	A The economic impact of air pollution. B. he effects of compounds added to the atmosphere.
	C How much harm air pollutants can cause. D. What constitutes an air pollutant.
Câu 63. For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling air pollution?
	A.They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants. B They function as part of a purification process.	C.They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants. D.They have existed since the Earth developed.
Câu 64. The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _________ 
	A negatively	B admittedly	C considerably	D quickly
