Thunderstorms, with their jagged bursts of lightning and roaring thunder, are actually one of nature’s primary mechanisms for transferring heat from the surface of the earth into the atmosphere A thunderstorm starts when low-lying pockets of warm air from the surface of the earth begin to rise The pockets of warm air float upward through the air above that is both cooler and heavier The rising pockets cool as their pressure decreases, and their latent heat is released above the condensation line through the formation of cumulus clouds What will happen with these clouds depends on the temperature of the atmosphere In winter, the air temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes is not extremely great, and the temperature of the rising air mass drops more slowly During these colder months, the atmosphere, therefore, tends to remain rather stable In summer, however, when there is a high accumulation of heat near the earth’s surface, in direct contrast to the considerably colder air higher up, the temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes is much more pronounced As warm air rises in this type of environment, the temperature drops much more rapidly than it does in winter; when the temperature drops more than degrees Fahrenheit per thousand feet of altitude, cumulus clouds aggregate into a single massive cumulonimbus cloud, or thunderhead In isolation, a single thunderstorm is an impressive but fairly benign way for Mother Earth to defuse trapped heat from her surface; thunderstorms, however, can appear in concert, and the resulting show, while extremely impressive, can also prove extraordinarily destructive When there is a large-scale collision between cold air and warm air masses during the summer months, a squall line, or series of thunderheads, may develop It is common for a squall line to begin when an advancing cold front meets up with and forces itself under a layer of warm and moist air, creating a line of thunderstorms that races forward at speeds of approximately forty miles per hour A squall line, which can be hundreds of miles long and can contain fifty distinct thunderheads, is a magnificent force of nature with incredible potential for destruction Within the squall line, often near its southern end, can be found supercells, long-lived rotating storms of exceptional strength that serve as the source of tornadoes Question 57 : The topic of the passage is A the development of thunderstorms and squall lines B the devastating effects of tornadoes C cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds D the power of tornadoes Trang 5/8 - Mã đề thi 101 Question 58: The word “mechanisms” in paragraph is most likely A machines B motions C methods D materials Question 59: It can be inferred from the passage that, in summer, A there is not a great temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes B the greater temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes makes thunderstorms more likely to occur C there is not much cold air higher up in the atmosphere D the temperature of rising air drops more slowly than it does in winter Question 60: The word “benign” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A harmless B beneficial C ferocious D spectacular Question 61: The expression “in concert” in paragraph could best be replaced by A as a chorus B with other musicians C as a cluster D in a performance Question 62: The word “itself” in paragraph refers to A a large-scale collision B a squall line C an advancing cold front D a layer of warm and moist air Question 63: All of the following are mentioned in the passage about supercells EXCEPT that they A are of short duration B have circling winds C have extraordinary power D can give birth to tornadoes Question 64: This reading would most probably be assigned in which of the following courses? A Geography B Meteorology C Marine Biology D Chemistry Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions (6 pts.) The Forbidden City is the former imperial palace in the center of Beijing, China Construction began in 1406, and the emperor's court officially moved in by 1420 The Forbidden City got its name because most people were barred from entering the 72-hectare site, surrounded by walls Even government officials and the imperial family were permitted only limited access Only the emperor could enter any section at will The architecture of the Forbidden City conforms rigidly to traditional Chinese principles All buildings within the walls follow a north-south line and the most important ones face south to honor the sun The designers arranged the other buildings, and the ceremonial spaces between them, to impress all visitors with the great power of the Emperor, while reinforcing the insignificance of the individual This architectural concept was carried out to the smallest detail For example, the importance of a building was determined not only by its height or width but also by the style of its roof and the quantity of statuettes placed on the roof’s ridges In recognition of the importance of its unparalleled architecture, UNESCO added the palace to its World Heritage List in 1987 Today, visitors from all over the world not wait for an imperial invitation to walk about this palace, now a museum of imperial art One of the most impressive landmarks of the Forbidden City is the Meridian Gate, the formal entrance to the southern side of the Forbidden City The gate, with its auxiliary wings on either side of the entryway, is 38 meters high at its roof ridge When you stand in front of this majestic structure, you understand how awed people felt when they stood there listening to imperial proclamations As you walk through the gate, you come into a large courtyard, 140 meters long and 210 meters wide Running through the courtyard is the Golden River, which is crossed by five parallel white marble bridges These bridges lead to the Gate of Supreme Harmony, which, in turn, leads to the heart of the Forbidden City At the northernmost end of the Forbidden City is the Imperial Garden, which is totally different from the rest of the compound Instead of rigid formality, you see a seemingly spontaneous arrangement of trees, fishponds, flowerbeds, and sculpture Here is the place of relaxation for the emperor Question 65: According to the passage, what the bridges over the Golden River lead to? A The Meridian gate B The Gate of Supreme Harmony C The Imperial Gardens D The center of Beijing Trang 6/8 - Mã đề thi 101 Question 66: Which phrase is closest in meaning to the word 'unparalleled' as used in paragraph 3? A high quality found nowhere else B at an angle from the main line C careless of small details in design D partially designed in a foreign country Question 67: From the passage, it is implied that the main entrance area to the Forbidden City is A not very impressive B surrounded by three tall walls C decorated with statuettes D painted gold and green Question 68: Which word(s) does the word 'its' refer to in paragraph 3? A Architecture B World Heritage List C Palace D UNESCO Question 69: Which word or phrase is closest in meaning to the word "spontaneous"? A Without thinking B Unique C Without planning D Strange Question 70: From the passage, it can be inferred that A Chinese architects borrowed ideas from many different countries B the garden of the Forbidden City was laid out in a strict, rectangular pattern C the design of the Forbidden City is dull and colorless D the architecture of the Forbidden City exemplifies traditional Chinese values B PHẦN TỰ LUẬN I Complete the second sentence so that it has similar meaning to the first one, using the words given Do not change the word given You must use between and words, including the word given It was wrong of you to borrow my book without asking (HAVE) => You _ before you borrowed my book My sister finds commuting every day annoying (PUT) => It’s difficult for my sister _ every day My father persuaded me to learn another foreign language (TALKED) => My father _ another foreign language Christ would only eat a pizza if he could have a mushroom topping (ON) => Christ _ mushroom topping when he ate a pizza I choose very carefully who I discuss my private life with (PARTICULAR) => I am _ I discuss my private life with The two theories appear to be completely different (COMMON) => The two theories _ As far as I know he is still working in HoChiMinh city (KNOWLEDGE) => To _ he is still working in Hochiminh city Suddenly Allan saw a kingbird in a maple tree (OF) => Allan _ in a maple tree The police arrived as the thieves were committing the crime (RED-HANDED) => The police _ 10 The Mediterranean is warm, whereas the North Sea is much colder (NOTHING) => The North Sea is _ the Mediterranean II Writing (15 pts.)
