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 15 to 22.

It weighed about 10,000 tons, entered the atmosphere at a speed of 64,000 km/h and exploded over a city with a blast of 500 kilotons. But on 15 February 2013, we were lucky. The meteorite that showered pieces of rock over Chelyabinsk, Russia, was relatively small, at only about 17 meters wide. Although many people were injured by falling glass, the damage was nothing compared to what had happened in Siberia nearly one hundred years ago. Another relatively small object (approximately 50 meters in diameter) exploded in mid–air over a forest region, flattening about 80 million trees. If it had exploded over a city such as Moscow or London, millions of people would have been killed.

By a strange coincidence, the same day that the meteorite terrified the people of Chelyabinsk, another 50m–wide asteroid passed relatively close to Earth. Scientists were expecting that visit and know that the asteroid will return to fly close by us in 2046, but the Russian meteorite earlier in the day had been too small for anyone to spot.

Most scientists agree that comets and asteroids pose the biggest natural threat to human existence. It was probably a large asteroid or comet colliding with Earth which wiped out the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. An enormous object, 10 to 16 km in diameter, struck the Yucatan region of Mexico with the force of 100 megatons. That is the equivalent of one Hiroshima bomb for every person alive on Earth today.

Many scientists, including the late Stephen Hawking, say that any comet or asteroid greater than 20 km in diameter that hits Earth will result in the complete destruction of complex life, including all animals and most plants. As we have seen, even a much smaller asteroid can cause great damage.

The Earth has been kept fairly safe for the last 65 million years by good fortune and the massive gravitational field of the planet Jupiter. Our cosmic guardian, with its stable circular orbit far from the sun, sweeps up and scatters away most of the dangerous comets and asteroids which might cross Earth’s orbit. After the Chelyabinsk meteorite, scientists are now monitoring potential hazards even more carefully but, as far as they know, there is no danger in the foreseeable future.

Từ “it” (nó) trong đoạn 1 đề cập đến _____.

A. Đá                           B. Thiên thạch           C. Thành phố             D. Vật thể

Thông tin: It weighed about 10,000 tons, entered the atmosphere at a speed of 64,000 km/h and exploded over a city with a blast of 500 kilotons. But on 15 February 2013, we were lucky. The meteorite that showered pieces of rock over Chelyabinsk, Russia, was relatively small, at only about 17 metres wide.

Tạm dịch: Nó nặng khoảng 10.000 tấn, bay vào bầu khí quyển với tốc độ 64.000 km/h và phát nổ trên một thành phố với vụ nổ 500 kiloton. Nhưng vào ngày 15 tháng 2 năm 2013, chúng tôi đã may mắn. Thiên thạch ấy đã rải những mảnh đá khắp Chelyabinsk, Nga, tương đối nhỏ, chỉ lớn khoảng 17 mét.

Dịch bài đọc:

Nó nặng khoảng 10.000 tấn, bay vào bầu khí quyển với tốc độ 64.000 km/h và phát nổ trên một thành phố với vụ nổ 500 kiloton. Nhưng vào ngày 15 tháng 2 năm 2013, chúng tôi đã may mắn. Thiên thạch ấy đã rải những mảnh đá khắp Chelyabinsk, Nga, tương đối nhỏ, chỉ lớn khoảng 17 mét. Mặc dù nhiều người bị thương do kính rơi vỡ, nhưng thiệt hại không là gì so với những gì đã xảy ra ở Siberia gần một trăm năm trước. Một vật thể tương đối nhỏ khác (đường kính khoảng 50 mét) phát nổ giữa không trung trên một khu

vực rừng, san phẳng khoảng 80 triệu cây xanh. Nếu nó phát nổ trên một thành phố như Moscow hay London, hàng triệu người đã bị giết chết rồi.

Bởi một sự trùng hợp kỳ lạ, vào cùng ngày mà thiên thạch khiến người dân ở thành phố Chelyabinsk khiếp sợ, một tiểu hành tinh rộng 50m khác đã đi qua tương đối gần Trái đất. Các nhà khoa học đã mong đợi chuyến thăm đó và biết rằng tiểu hành tinh sẽ quay trở lại gần chúng ta vào năm 2046, nhưng thiên thạch Nga trước đó trong ngày quá nhỏ để mọi người có thể phát hiện ra.

Hầu hết các nhà khoa học đồng ý rằng sao chổi và tiểu hành tinh là mối đe dọa tự nhiên lớn nhất đối với sự tồn tại của con người. Nó có lẽ là một tiểu hành tinh hoặc sao chổi lớn va chạm với Trái đất đã quét sạch loài khủng long khoảng 65 triệu năm trước. Một vật thể khổng lồ, đường kính từ 10 đến 16 km, đã rơi xuống vùng Yucatan ở Mexico với một lực đến 100 megatons. Đó là tương đương với một quả bom ở Hiroshima cho mỗi người còn sống trên Trái đất ngày nay.

Nhiều nhà khoa học, bao gồm cả Stephen Hawking quá cố, nói rằng bất kỳ sao chổi hoặc tiểu hành tinh nào có đường kính lớn hơn 20 km đâm vào Trái đất sẽ dẫn đến sự hủy diệt hoàn toàn các dạng sống phức tạp, bao gồm tất cả động vật và hầu hết thực vật. Như chúng ta đã thấy, ngay cả một tiểu hành tinh nhỏ hơn nhiều cũng có thể gây ra thiệt hại lớn.

Trái đất đã được gìn giữ khá an toàn trong 65 triệu năm qua bởi vận may và trường hấp dẫn khổng lồ của Sao Mộc. Người bảo vệ vũ trụ của chúng ta, với quỹ đạo tròn ổn định ở xa mặt trời, quét đi và quét sạch hầu hết các sao chổi và tiểu hành tinh nguy hiểm có thể đi qua quỹ đạo Trái đất. Sau thiên thạch Chelyabinsk, các nhà khoa học hiện đang theo dõi các mối nguy tiềm ẩn thậm chí cẩn thận hơn, nhưng theo như họ biết, không có bất kì mối nguy hiểm nào trong tương lai gần.

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   22  to  26

A.   Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.

The ruined temples of Angkor are perhaps one of the mast impressive Seven Wonders of the World. Located in modern day Cambodia near Lake TonIe Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Asia, Angkor was the seat of power for the Khmer Empire from the ninth to the fifteenth century. The ruins of Angkor are documented as same .of the mast impressive ones in the world, rivaling the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Why this mighty civilization died out is a question that archeologists are now only beginning to ponder. The answer, it turns out, may be linked with the availability of fresh water.

One possible explanation far the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the inhabitants' irrigation system. The temple and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a series of artificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River. Once filled, they were used to irrigate the surrounding rice patties and farmland during the course of the year. Farmers were completely dependent upon the water for their crucial rice crop. Without consistent irrigation, the farmers would have been unable to maintain functional crop production.

Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs and canals broke down. The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor. In addition, as the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and around Angkor. In order to feed so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food quicker and more efficiently. After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was pushed beyond its capacity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and the loss of water led to decrease in the food supply. With less food available, the people of Angkor slowly began to migrate to other parts of Cambodia thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be swallowed by the jungle. Therefore, it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructure.

22. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Modern day agricultural procedures in Cambodia.

B. A possible explanation for the, decline of a civilization.

C. The essential role water plays in farming.

D. Religious temples of the ancient Khmer Empire.

23. The passage preceding the passage most likely discusses ______.

A. architecture of ancient Asian civilization

B. religious practices of the people of Angkor

C. the form of government practiced by the Khmer Empire

D. the other six wonders of the world

24. According to the passage, Lake Tonle Sap in Cambodia ______.

A. is an enormous fresh body of water in Asia

B. was unable to supply enough fish for the people of Angkor

C. became polluted due to a population explosion

D. is one of the Seven Wonders of the World

25. Why does the author mention the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs?

A. They supplied irrigation from the Indian Ocean.

B. They became non-functional due to overuse.

C. They were destroyed by nearby warrior tribes.

D. They helped transport the sandstones for constructing temples.

26. It can be inferred from the passage that the inhabitants of the Khmer Empire ______.

A. were intentionally starved by the farmers

B. lost their food source due to excess rainfall

C. supplemented their diets with 'meat hunted in the nearby jungles

D. depended upon rice as their main source of food

27. All the following are mentioned as events that can affect food supply EXCEPT.

A. erosion of soil                                       B. contamination of soil

C. reduction of nutrients                            D. loss of water supply
