(10 pts)By Binh THPT Li n, Th ch, Vinh Phuc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 2Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause disease inanimals. In addition, man can catch the disease from animals. In fact, greater numbers of wildbirds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidences of illness. Some scientists concludethat large family of influenza virus may have evolved in the bird kingdom, group that has beenon earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the disease. There iseven convincing evidence to show that virus strain are transmitted from place to place and fromcontinent to continent by migrating birds.It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animalat the same time. The result of such recombination is great variety of strains containing differentH and spikes. This raises the possibility that human influenza virus can recombine with aninfluenza virus from lower animal to produce an entirely new spike. Research is underway todetermine if that is the way major new strains come into being. Another possibility is that twoanimal influenza strains may recombine in pig, for example, to produce new strain which istransmitted to man.1. According to the passage, scientists have discovered that influenza viruses ______.A. cause ill health in wild animals B. do not always cause symptoms in birdsC. are rarely present in wild birds D. change when transmitted from animals to man2. What is known about the influenza virus?A. It was first found in group of very old birds.B. All the different strains can be found in wild birds.C. It existed over 100 million years ago. D.

(10 pts)Several hundred million years ago, plants similar to modern ferns covered vast stretches ofthe land. Some were as large as trees, with giant fronds bunched at the top of trunks as straight aspillars. Others were the size of bushes and formed thickets of undergrowth. Still others lived inthe shade of giant club mosses and horsetails along the edges of swampy lagoons where giantamphibians swam.A great number of these plants were true ferns, reproducing themselves without fruits orseeds. Others had only the appearance of ferns. Their leaves had organs of sexual reproductionand produced seeds. Although their “flowers” did not have corollas, these false ferns (todaycompletely extinct) ushered in the era of flowering plants. Traces of these floras of the earliesttimes have been preserved in the form of fossils. Such traces are most commonly found in shaleand sandstone rocks wedged between coal beds.Today only tropical forests bear living proof of the ancient greatness of ferns. The speciesthat grow there are no longer those of the Carboniferous period, but their variety and vastnumbers, and the great size of some, remind us of the time when ferns ruled the plant kingdom.1.
