Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 44. 
Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the 
earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia, 
a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the 
dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs 
were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as 
loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived 
in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone. 
The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely 
related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus 
Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog. 
The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped 
noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were 
slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely. 
Question 35: The author states that the newly discovered dinosaur remains are evidence that it was the 
largest __________. 
A. carnivorous dinosaur B. dinosaur ever 
C. South American dinosaur D. herbivorous dinosaur 
Question 36: The word Besides in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________. 
A. in spite of B. mostly C. in addition to D. although. 
Question 37: The word horrifying in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________. 
A. frightening B. fast C. large D. interesting 
Question 38: The word astounding in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________. 
A. pleasing B. displeasing C. surprising D. terrifying 
Question 39: The author implies that the most interesting fact about the find is that this dinosaur _____. 
A. was found in the Andes B. had a powerful jaw and sharp teeth 
C. was larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex D. lived and hunted with others 
 Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 134 
Question 40: The passage indicates that prior to this discovery scientists believed that ___________. 
A. there were no meat-eating dinosaurs in the Andes 
B. meat-eating dinosaurs lived alone 
C. Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the Andes 
D. meat-eating dinosaurs were small in stature 
Question 41: The word it in the second paragraph refers to ___________. 
A. Relationship B. dog 
C. newly discovered meat-eater D. Giganotosaurus 
Question 42: The author states that the newly discovered meat-eating dinosaur is ___________. 
A. closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex. B. not closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex. 
C. not closely related to Giganotosaurus D. closely related to the large cat family 
Question 43: The word dissect in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ____________. 
A. dismember B. chew C. escape D. swallow 
Question 44: The word prey in the last sentence of the passage is closest in meaning to _________. 
A. enemy B. victim C. dinosaurs D. attacker 
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions. 
Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our gardens is one 
of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted. They clog waterways, 
destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming. Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for 
one-third of all crop loss. They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants. 
The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides 
are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic 
compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and 
drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them. 
In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically 
sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems. Hence, scientists are exploring 
the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms. 
The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans. They can be 
chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast, 
some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only 
those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number 
of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed. 
Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season. 
Question 45: With what topic does this passage primarily deal? 
A. The importance of the chemical industry. 
B. The dangers of toxic chemicals. 
C. A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides. 
D. Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones. 
Question 46: The word “marring” in bold is closest in meaning to __________. 
A. spoiling B. planting C. dividing D. replacing 
Question 47: The word “clog” in bold is closest in meaning to __________. 
A. grow along B. drain C. float on D. obstruct 
Question 48: Which of the following terms does the author define in the first paragraph? 
A. weeds B. nutrients C. wildlife habitats D. grazing area

Question 50: Which of the following is NOT given as an advantage of using biological agents over 
chemical herbicides? 
A. They are safer for workers. B. They are less likely to destroy desirable plants. 
C. They are more easily available. D. They do not have to be used as often. 
Question 51: The word “innate” in bold is closest in meaning to __________. 
A. effective B. organic C. natural D. active 
Question 52: According to the passage, biological agents mainly consist of ____________. 
A. herbicides B. useful plants 
C. insects and microorganisms D. weeds 
Question 53: The word „'applications” in bold could best be replaced by which of the following? 
A. requests B. special purposes C. qualifications D. treatments 
Question 54: Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage? 
A. A general idea is introduced and several specific examples are given. 
B. Two possible causes of a phenomenon are compared. 
C. A problem is described and possible solutions are discussed.
