The human brain, remember, is programmed to slip into alarm mode when danger looms Danger looms for someone, somewhere at every moment Exposing ourselves to such input without respite and without perspective cannot be anything other than a source of chronic stress Question 31 According to the passage, which of the following has contributed to the intense nature of twenty- first century stress? A An overabundance of special news B The degree to which stress affects our life C Our inability to control ourselves D Our continual exposure to the media Question 32 In the past, we had less news of distant people and lands because A means of communication and transportation were not yet invented B the printing press changed the situation to slowly C printing, transportation, and telecommunications were not developed D most people lived in distant towns and villages Question 33 The word “traumatic” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A boring B fascinating C upsetting D exciting Question 34 According to the passage, when there is not enough actual breaking news, broadcasts A are full of dangerous diseases such as flu B send out live newscasts paired with text across the screen C send out frightening stories about potential dangers D are forced to publicise an alarming increase in crime Question 35 Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? A The news that is reported to us is not good news B Many people are under stress caused by the media C Many TV channels supply the public with breaking news D The only source of stress in our modern life is the media Question 36 The word “slip” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A release B bring C fail D fall Question 37 According to the passage, our continual exposure to bad news without perspective is obviously A the result of human brain’s switch to alarm mode B a source of chronic stress C the result of an overabundance of good news D a source of defects in human brain Question 38 What is probably the best title for this passage? A Effective Ways to Beat Stress B More Modern Life - More Stress C The Media - A Major Cause of Stress D Developments in Telecommunications 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 THE SAVANNAH The tourist looking at the African savannah on a summer afternoon might be excused for thinking that the wide yellow grass plain was completely deserted of life, almost a desert With only a few small thorn trees sticking out through the veldt, there seems to be almost no place for a © Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 3/5 living creature to hide However, under those trees you might find small steenbok, sleeping in the shade, and waiting for the night to fall There may even be a small group of lions somewhere, their bodies exactly the same shade as the tall grass around them In the holes in the ground a host of tiny creatures, from rabbits and badgers to rats and' snakes are waiting for the heat to finish The tall grass also hides the fact that there may be a small stream running across the middle of the plain One clue that there may be water here is the sight of a majestic Marshall eagle circling slowly over the grassland When he drops, he may come up with a small fish, or maybe a grass snake that has been waiting at the edge of a pool in the hope of catching a frog The best time to see the animals then, is in the evening, just as the sun is setting The best time of the year to come is in late September, or early August, just before the rains Then the animals must come to the waterholes, as there is no other place for them to drink And they like to come while it is still light; so they can see if any dangers are creeping up on them So it is at sunset, and after the night falls, that the creatures of the African veld rise and go about their business Question 39 The savannah appears to be empty because A The animals are sleeping B The animals have gone about their business C They have been frightened by an eagle D The temperature prevents much activity Question 40 By "go about their business" the writer means: A Tourism in Africa is big business B The animals go to the river to drink C The animals go on with their normal activity D The animals are observed by naturalists Question 41 What kind of book does the text seem to be from?
