Suddenly, there are a lot of changes going on up there.” 5 | P a g e
6. Nguyễn Đình Luyện – GV: Trường THCS Bù Nho – Phú Riềng – Bình Phước Tel: 0933.15.80.85 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimates of the death toll from urban smog have been steadily rising, so the new cleaner trend could have significant consequences for life expectancy in cities as well as for the planet itself. The sudden and unexpected reversal of several decades of worsening pollution extends from the air in city streets to the remotest mid-Pacific Ocean and Antarctica. Among the pollutants which have begun to disappear from the atmosphere are carbon monoxide, from car exhausts and burning rain forests, and methane from the guts of cattle, paddy fields, and gas fields. Even carbon dioxide, the main gas behind global warming, has fallen slightly. There are two theories about why pollution is disappearing. First, that there is less pollution to start with due to laws to cut down urban smog and acid rain starting to have a global impact. Second, that the planet may be becoming more efficient at cleaning up. The main planetary clean- up agent is a chemical called hydroxyl. It is present throughout the atmosphere in tiny quantities and removes most pollutants from the air by oxidizing them. The amount of hydroxyl in the air had fallen by a quarter in the 1980s. Now, it may be reviving for two reasons: ironically, because the zone hole has expanded, letting in more ultraviolet radiation into the lower atmosphere, where it manufactures hydroxyl. Then the stricter controls on vehicle exhausts in America and Europe may have cut global carbon monoxide emissions, thereby allowing more hydroxyl to clean up other pollutants. 96. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The changing pollutants in the atmosphere B. The decreasing pollution of the atmosphere C. Hydroxyl’s influence on the atmosphere D. The oxygenation of the atmosphere. 97. The word “purging” is closest in meaning to__________________. A. destroyingB. riddingC. refiningD. filtering 98. According to the passage, life expectancy partly depends on people having______ A. access to details about atmospheric pollution B. changes in their lifestyle C. recommendations from university research D. improvement in atmospheric conditions 99. The word “toll” could best be replaced by_____________ A. countB. lossC. costsD. damage 100. What does the author suggest is the main cause of pollution reduction? A. Less impact from burning forestsB. A smaller number of cars C. A curtailment of chemicalsD. Fewer cattle and gas fields 101. The word “it” refers to__________ A. a clean-up agentB. urban smogC. acid rainD. the ozone hole 102. It can be inferred from the passage that the new cleaner trend is_____________ A. inexplicableB. predictableC. confusingD. surprising 103. Based on information in the passage, all of the following information referring to hydroxyl is true EXCEPT A. the reduction in the ozone layer is beneficial to hydroxyl. B. oxidization of pollutants is carried out by hydroxyl. C. there is difficulty in destroying carbon dioxide by hydroxyl. D. ultraviolet radiation increases production of hydroxyl. 104. The word “reviving” is closest in meaning to 6 | P a g e

The passage supports which of the following conclusions? A. The reduction in carbon dioxide has produced a cleaner atmosphere. B. The decrease of methane has enabled ultraviolet radiation to enter the atmosphere. C. The beneficial effect to hydroxyl has aided the cleaning process. D. An expansion in hydroxyl has enlarged the zone hole Part 3: Questions from 106 to 115. (2.0 points - 0.2/ each) Look at the sentences below about two old ships in the UK. Decide if each statement is true or false. Ships of History If you’re interested in history or ships or both, there are two ships you must try to see in the UK - the Mary Rose and the Golden Hinde. In 1543, Henry VIII went to war with France (not for the first time), and the next year he took control of the town of Boulogne. In response, in 1545, a large number of French ships set sail for England. The French had over 200 ships in their fleet, and the English about 80, waiting near the town of Portsmouth on the South Coast. The leading ship was the Rose, the biggest and best ship in England at that time. Henry VIII, although getting old and ill, came down to take charge of the battle himself. The French ships couldn’t get into Portsmouth, because it was defended by towers and a castle, but they started firing at the English fleet. The English ships moved towards the French, but, as the Mary Rose turned, it sank. There are several different ideas about why this happened, and one day we may know for sure. Although Henry tried to have the Mary Rose brought up from the seabed, she remained underwater until 1982, when she was lifted by the Mary Rose Trust. Careful work to repair and protect the ship began. After some years, this work was completed. Now visitors can view the special collection of thousands of personal, domestic and military objects in the Mary Rose Museum. With so much to see, you’re sure to have an interesting time! You could also come to London and see the Golden Hinde. This ship was famous as the flagship of Sir Francis Drake during his three-year voyage around the world, with the Golden Hinde being the only ship to return home safely, having left in 1577. Drake captured many Spanish ships during the voyage, and took their gold and money. When Drake came back to England, he became both rich and famous. Queen Elizabeth took a share of the prizes captured, and visited the Golden Hinde with great ceremony. She decided that the ship should be kept so that the general public could come and look at it, making it England’s first museum ship. The ship you can visit nowadays is a fully working model of the sixteenth-century ship, and has also sailed around the world. If history and sailing interest you, then attend a special workshop on the Golden Hinde. For the afternoon, you can become an officer on board and find out how to navigate the Golden Hinde in the way the original sailors did before modern electronic equipment was invented. Yes, you can travel through the past! 106. French ships came to England in 1545 because of the English occupation of a part of France. 107. Henry VIII decided to control the battle at Portsmouth himself. 108. Nowadays, everybody knows the reason the Mary Rose sank. 109. Henry VIII wanted to rescue the Mary Rose after it sank. 110.
