SECTION ONE: LISTENING Hướng dẫn phần thi nghe hiểu • Bài nghe gồm 4 phần; mỗi phần được nghe 2 lần, mỗi lần cách nhau 15 giây. • Mở đầu và kết thúc bài nghe có tín hiệu nhạc. Part 1. For question 1-5, listen to a recording about Egyptian culture and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). (5 pts) 1. Greek artists were paid by Egyptians to create portraits with beeswax on wood. T 2. The portrait of the deceased was incinerated prior to the mummification of the corpse to remind themselves of life before death. F 3. The painting uncovered intact by Basem depicts in details a woman living during the reign of Cleopatra. F 4. Ancient Egyptians’ techniques of painting the dead experienced over time. T 5. The Greeks were coerced into following Egyptian customs so Cleopatra could reign over her multicultural empire more easily. F TRANSCRIPT BASEM GEHAD: It’s a breathtaking moment for me. NARRATOR: In the sands of the necropolis, Basem has made an incredible discovery. BASEM GEHAD: So what we are looking here is one fragment of a mummy portrait that is painted with the wax, the encaustic technique. NARRATOR: Greek artists from Alexandria traveled South through Egypt along the Nile. People commissioned their portraits from the artists, who painted with hot beeswax onto wood (1). The lifelike portraits were unlike anything in Egyptian art. People hung their colorful portraits in their homes. When they died, the portrait was put on their face before they were mummified in the hope their spirit would remember what they looked like in the afterlife (2).
2 It’s really a masterpiece. NARRATOR: Despite the layers of dust, Basem can clearly make out the face of the woman it depicts. It’s a beautiful portrait of a Greek woman who lived and died here at Philadelphia around the time of Cleopatra some 2,000 years ago (3). Basem thinks tomb robbers must have broken the fragile painting when they tried to remove it from the grave. BASEM GEHAD: For us, it’s a treasure. I can’t see any kind of object that could be more beautiful than this face. NARRATOR: It’s a great discovery, everything Basem has hoped for. BASEM GEHAD: The aim of the mission we can say that it’s accomplished. This single piece makes our work here worth it. Because it’s in itself, it’s unique. NARRATOR: It’s possible that Cleopatra too would have been buried with a lifelike portrait of herself. We know very well that ancient Egyptians were very keen in keeping the picture of the deceased. It seems that the tradition continued during the Ptolemaic Period. They kept the same tradition, but they did it their own way using a new tradition of paintings (4). And then they put these wonderful, amazing, awesome portraits on the face and then they wrapped the whole mummy in an Egyptian style. NARRATOR: Basem’s discovery suggests that even outside Alexandria, the Greeks of her reign followed Cleopatra’s example and embraced Egyptian customs. And Cleopatra’s respect for the old ways won her favor with the Egyptians, allowing her to rule over a prosperous multicultural empire (5). Part 2. For questions 6-10, listen to a man talking about dolphins’ behavior and answer the questions with NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS. (5 pts) 6. What is the feature of the place where a temporary super-pod is formed? a high abundance of food 7. To which sex is knowledge handed down from mother dolphins? female (one/sex) 8. What is one reason for male dolphins engaging in acts of aggression? disputes between companions / competition for females 9. What breed of dolphins may engage in infanticide? male bottlenose dolphins 10. Which dolphins’ behavior may involve human beings? playful behavior TRANSCRIPT Ok, today's lecture is about the behaviour of dolphins. Dolphins are mammals closely related to whales and porpoises. There are almost 40 species of dolphin and they vary in size from 1.2 metres and 90 pounds, up to 9.5 metres and 10 tons. They are found worldwide, mostly in shallower seas of the continental shelves and their carnivores eating mostly fish and squid. Dolphins are highly social animals, often living in pods of up to a dozen individuals though pod sizes and structures vary greatly between species and locations. In places with a high abundance of food, pods can
3 merge temporarily, forming a super pod which groupings may exceed a thousand dolphins. Membership in pods is not rigid, with interchange being common. Dolphins can, however, establish strong social bonds. They will stay with injured or ill individuals, even helping them to breathe and bringing them to the surface if needed. This altruism does not appear to be limited to their own species. A male dolphin called MoCo in New Zealand was observed guiding a female pygmy sperm whale together with their calf out of shallow water where they had been stranded several times. Dolphins have also been seen protecting swimmers from sharks by swimming circles around the swimmers or charging the sharks to make them leave. Dolphins also display culture, something long believed to be unique to humans and possibly other primate species. In May 2005, a discovery in Australia found Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins teaching their young to use tools. They cover their snouts with sponges to protect them while foraging for food. This knowledge is mostly transferred by mothers to daughters, unlike primates, where knowledge is generally passed on to both sexes. Using sponges as mouth protection is a learned behavior. Another learned behavior was discovered among river dolphins in Brazil, where some male dolphins use weeds and sticks as part of a sexual display. Dolphins may also engage in acts of aggression towards each other. The older a male dolphin is, the more likely his body is to be covered with bite scars. Male dolphins engage in acts of aggression apparently for the same reasons as humans, that is, disputes between companions and competition for females. Dolphins of aggression can become so intense that targeted dolphins sometimes go into exile after losing a fight. Male bottlenose dolphins have also been known to engage in infanticide, which is the killing of their young. Dolphins have also been known to kill porpoises for reasons which are not fully understood, as porpoises generally do not share the same diet as dolphins and are therefore not competitors for food supplies. The main food of dolphins is fish and squid, and various methods of feeding exist among and within species, some apparently exclusive to a single population. One common feeding method is herding, where a pod squeezes a school of fish into a small volume known as a bait ball. Individual members then take turns plowing through the ball, feeding on the stunned fish. Corralling is a method where dolphins chase fish into shallow water to catch them more easily. Orca's and bottlenose dolphins have also been known to drive their prey onto a beach to feed on it, a behavior known as beach or strand feeding. Some species also whack fish with their flukes, stunning them and sometimes knocking them out of the water. When it comes to playful behavior, dolphins show various types, often including objects, self-made bubble rings, other dolphins or other animals. When playing with objects or small animals, common behavior includes carrying the object or animal along using various parts of the body, passing it along to other members of the group, or taking it from another member or throwing it out of the water. Dolphins have also been observed harassing animals in other ways, for example by dragging birds underwater without showing
4 any intent to eat them. Playful behavior that involves other animal species with active participation of the other animal can also be observed. Animal human interaction with dolphins being the most obvious example, however playful interactions have been observed in the wild with a number of other species as well as humpback whales and dogs.
