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 45 to 54
 In the 1969s, the World Health Organization (WHO) began a campaign to eradicate /i'rỉdikeit/ (trừ tiệt/ loại bỏ)) the mosquitoes that transmit the disease malaria truyền bệnh tiêu chảy. It was a noble goal (mục tiêu cao thượng), since malaria kills an estimate 3 million people each year in the world’s tropical regions, predominantly (phần lớn, chủ yếu là) southern Africa. WHO led an effort to spray the mosquitoes’ habitat with a chemical pesticide - a poison used to kill insets-called DDT. Early results were promising, and the mosquito was eliminated from the edge of its native range (nơi chúng sinh ra). The effort soon faltered/'fɔ:ltəd/ (dao động), however, and the eradication plan was dropped (đứt đoạn). How could a tiny mosquito thwart (cản trở) the best efforts of a large group of well-funded scientists?
 Situations like this one have occurred dozens of times in the last several decades. In a common scenario (Ở tình huống thơng thường), whenever a new type of pesticide is used to control agriculture pets, the early results are encouraging. A relatively small amount of the poison dusted rắc, rải onto a crop may kill 99% of the insects. However, the relatively few survivors of the first pesticide wave are insects with genes that somehow enable them to resist (kháng lại) the chemical attack. The poison kills most members of the insect population, leaving only the resistant individuals to reproduce (tái sinh sản). And when they do, their offsprings hậu duệ inherit the genes for pesticide resistance. In each generation, the proportion (tỉ lệ) of pesticide-resistant individuals (những cá thể kháng thuốc trừ sâu) in the insect population increases, making subsequent sprayings (những lần phun xịt sau đĩ) less and less effective.
 Since the widespread use of chemical pesticides began in the 1940s, scientists have documented(ghi chép, ghi nhận) pesticide resistance in more than 500 species of insects. The problems such insects posing (đặt ra) through their impact on agriculture and medicine - are just some of the many ways that evolution has a direct connection to our daily lives. Everywhere, all the time, populations of organisms are fine tuning adaptations (sự thích nghi cĩ điều chỉnh tốt) to local environments through the evolutionary process of natural selection (quá trình chọn lọc tự nhiên theo qui luật tiến hĩa). Given the dynamics of Earth and its life, it is not surprising that even the kinds of organisms sinh vật on the planet- the species - have changed over time.

A. pass on: chết	B. kill off	C. find out: phát hiện ra	D. increase

Question 48: The increase of pesticide –resistant insects_____.
	A. makes later sprayings more expensive	B. makes it more convenient for future sprayings
	C. makes later sprayings less expensive	 D. makes subsequent sprayings impossible

	A. make them vulnerable	
B. enable them to attract the pesticide
	C. prevent them from resisting the chemical attack
