PASSAGE 1 – Questions 1-10 Eddy is warm, charming and friendly. (4) He laughs a lot. He seems at first like an average kindly grandfather. But 15 years ago, (5) a virus attacked his brain and destroyed the part where memories are made. He can remember his childhood and being a sailor in the Navy, but cannot remember anything since 1960. As far as he knows, petrol is cheap and the moon landing never happened. Since his illness, the only people he knows are the ones in the room with him. On a typical morning, he will get up and have breakfast, then go back to bed to listen to the radio. (6) Often he will forget that he has eaten, so will get up and have breakfast again and return to bed. Sometimes he’ll have breakfast a third time. Without a memory, he is trapped in the present, between a past he can’t remember and a future he can’t imagine. He lives a quiet life and doesn’t even know that he has a memory problem. (7) ‘He’s happy all the time,’ says his daughter Carol, who 1. The best title for this article would be … A. Memory Loss. B. Memory Wonders. C. Unexplained Memory Mysteries. D. The importance of memory 2. The aim of the text is to … A. arouse sympathy. B. describe an experiment C. interest and inform. D. describe some scientific progress. 3. Anna and Eddy are similar in that they … A. both work in the same area. B. are both extreme examples. C. come from the same state. D. all have a cheerful life. 4. Eddy appears to be … A. cheerful: vui vẻ B. anxious: lo lắng C. shy: ngại, xấu hổ D. strained: áp lực 5. Eddy’s condition was caused by … A. a childhood illness. B. an accident when he was in the Navy. C. an unhappy childhood D. an infection in later life.

Eddy's case shows us how essential memory is for us to function; but Anna's shows that if our memories are to function properly, we also need to be able to forget. C. simple to understand. D. helpful for her PASSAGE 2 – Questions 11-20 (11) The Earth is known as the Blue Planet because of its color when viewed from space by our astronauts. We enjoy sunny days when the sky is blue but it seems to be a “mystery” why the sky and atmosphere appear blue. But it’s really a matter of how the human eye works and how light interacts with air molecules in the atmosphere. Remember that humans can see visible light, those wavelengths between 400 nanometers and 700 nanometers. Visible light is divided into colors also by wavelength and this is called the color spectrum. (12) The blue range that includes violet has the shortest wavelengths of any visible light. When light interacts with any kind of molecules, its energy can be absorbed, reflected or scattered. Light is scattered when it hits gases in the atmosphere. The 11. When Earth is viewed from space, it appears A. red B. yellow C. blue D. green 12. What colors have the shortest wavelengths? A. Shades of blue and purple B. Shades of green C. Shades of red D. Shades of orange 13. Visible light … A. can be seen by the human eye B. is in the range 400 to 700 nanometers C. is the source of the color spectrum D. All of the above 14. The sky appears blue because light interacts with A. water droplets in the atmosphere B. molecules of gases in the atmosphere
amount of light that is scattered is related to the size of the particle compared to the wavelength of the light falling on the particle. Since blue and violet have the shortest wavelength they are scattered (12) the most by molecules of gases in the atmosphere. Because of this scattering there is more of the blue wavelength in the atmosphere than any other. The human eye has cones dedicated to receiving blue wavelength, so we see the sky as blue without noticing the traces of purple. Another “mystery” of nature is how rainbows are formed. Rainbows are seen only after it rains and the atmosphere contains water droplets. Sunlight enters the water droplets, is bent by the droplet and is reflected out of the droplet. The different colors are bent by an amount related to their wavelength so the result is a spectrum like that produced by a prism. (15) A rainbow always appears as the same kind of arc in the sky. The red part of the rainbow is always at 42° to the line of the horizon and the blue-violet part of C. the parts of outer space that humans see D. All of the above 15. A rainbow produces the color spectrum similar to a A. microscope B. telescope C. prism D. All of the above 16. When someone sees a rainbow, A. the arc is always the same for every rainbow B. the sun is behind them C. Both a. and b. above D. None of the above 17. The word “visible” is closest in meaning to … A. can see B. can imagine C. can guess D. can do 18. The word “scattered” is closest in meaning to … A. broke B. spilled C. spreaded D. thrown out 19. The word “bent” is closest in meaning to … A. curved
