Animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis the difference between number of objects and smaller number. In his book The natural History of Selboure (1786 ,the naturalist Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg day from plover nest and ‟how the mother laid another egg each day to make up for the missing one He noted that other species of birds ignore the absence of single egg but abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed. It has also been noted by naturalists that certain type of wasp always provides five never four, never six caterpillars for each of their eggs so that their young have something to eat when the eggs hatch Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to distinguish between odd and even numbers of food pieces.These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than humans can actually count. They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the Trang 4correct number of barks, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the proper number of times.Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as species as in the case of the eggs or survival as individuals as in the case of food. There is no transfer to other situations or from concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers. Animals can “count” only when the objects are present and only when the numbers involved are small not more than seven or eight. In lab experiments, animals trained to “count” one kind of object were unable to count any other type. The objects, not the numbers, are what interest them. Animals admittedly remarkable achievements simply do not amount to evidence of counting, nor do they reveal more than innate instincts, refined by the genes of successive generations, or the results of clever, careful conditioning by trainers Câu 1: What is the main idea of this passage?A. Although animals may be aware of quantities, they cannot actually count.B. Of all animals, dogs and horses can count best.C. Careful training is required to teach animals to perform tricks involving numbersD. Animals cannot “count” more than one kind of object.Câu 2: Why does the author refer to Gilbert White book in line 2?‟A. To indicate that more research is needed in this fieldB. To show how attitudes have changed since1786.C. To provide evidence that some birds are aware of quantities.D. To contradict the idea that animals can count.Câu 3: The word surreptitiously is closest in meaning toA. quickly B. occasionally C. stubbornly D. secretlyCâu 4: The word odd refers to which of the following?A. numbers such as 1, 3, and so on B. lucky numbersC. numbers such as 2, 4, and so on D. unusual numbersCâu 5: The author mentions that all of the following are aware of quantities in some ways EXCEPTA. wasps B. Plovers C. caterpillars D. miceCâu 6: The word accounts is closest in meaning toA. reasons B. reports C. deceptions D. invoicesCâu 7: How would the author probably characterize the people who are mentioned in the first line of the second paragraphA. As foolish B. As demanding C. As clever D. As mistakenRead the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from to 8. Life originated in the early seas less than billion years after the Earth was formed. Yet another threebillion years were to pass before the first plants and animals appeared on the continents. Life’s transition Trang 5from the sea to the land was perhaps as much of an evolutionary challenge as was the genesis of life.What forms of life were able to make such drastic change in lifestyle? The traditional view of the first terrestrial organisms is based on mega fossils-relatively large specimens of essentially whole plants andanimals. Vascular plants, related to modern seed plants and ferns, left the first comprehensive mega fossil record. Because of this, it has been commonly assumed that the sequence of terrestrialization reflected the evolution of modern terrestrial ecosystems. In this view, primitive vascular plants first colonized the margins of continental waters, followed by animals that feed on the plants, and lastly by animals that preyedon the plant-eaters. Moreover, the mega fossils suggest that terrestrial life appeared and diversified explosively near the boundary between the Silurian and the Devonian periods, little more than 400 million years ago.Recently, however, paleontologists have been taking closer look at the sediments below this Silurian-Devonian geological boundary. It turns out that some fossils can be extracted from these sediments by putting the rocks in an acid bath. The technique has uncovered new evidence form sediments that were deposited near the shores of the ancient oceans- plant microfossils and microscopic pieces of small animals. In many instances the specimens are less than one-tenth of millimeter in diameter. Although they were entombed in the rocks for hundreds of millions of years, many of them fossils consist of the organic remains of the organism.These newly discovered fossils have not only revealed the existence of previously unknown organisms, but have also pushed back these dates for the invasion of land by multicellular organisms. Our views about the nature of the early plant and animal communities are now being revised. And with those revisions come new speculations about the first terrestrial life-formsCâu 1: In what order did the organisms first appear on earth?A. vascular plants, plant-eating animals, carnivoresB. carnivores, plant-eaters, megafossilsC. mega fossils, prey hunters, plant-eatersD. seed plants, ferns, megafossilsCâu 2: What can be inferred from the passage about the fossils mentioned in the third paragraph?A. They have not been helpful in understanding the evolution of terrestrial life.B. They were found in approximately the same numbers as vascular plant fossils.C. They are older than the mega fossils.D. They consist of modern life-forms.Câu 3: According to the theory that the author calls the traditional view what was the first form of life toappear on land?A. Bacteria B. Meat-eating animalsC. Plant-eating animals D. Vascular plantsCâu 4: What is the following paragraph likely to discuss?Trang 6A. the existence of previously unknown organismsB. the revision of human views on the nature of early plant and animal communitiesC. comparison and contrast between the first terrestrial life forms and newly discovered fossilsD. what the first terrestrial life forms might have beenCâu 5: The word entombed is closest in meaning to ______.A. crushed B. trapped C. produced D. excavatedCâu 6: Which of the following resulted from the discovery of microscopic fossils?A. Which of the following resulted from the discovery of microscopic fossils?B. Old techniques for analyzing fossils were found to have new usesC. The origins of primitive sea life were explained.D. Assumptions about the locations of ancient seas were changed.Câu 7: With which of the following conclusions would the author probably agree?A. The evolution of terrestrial life was as complicated as the origin of life itself.B. The discovery of microfossils supports the traditional view of how terrestrial life evolved.C. New species have appeared at the same rate over the course of the last 400 million years.D. The technology used by paleontologists is too primitive to make accurate determinations about ages of fossils.Câu 8: According to the passage, what happened about 400 million years ago?A. Many terrestrial life-forms died outB. New life-forms on land developed at rapid rateC. The mega fossils were destroyed by floods.D. Life began to develop in the ancient seas.L GI CHI TI TỜ ẾMark the letter A, B, C, or on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions.
