 Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 485 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 36 to 43.
 In the early 1800’s, over 80 percent of the United States labor force was engaged in 
agriculture. Sophisticated technology and machinery were virtually nonexistent. People who lived 
in the cities and were not directly involved in trade often participated in small cottage industries 
making handcrafted goods. Others cured meats, silversmiths, candle or otherwise produced 
needed goods and commodities. Blacksmiths, silversmiths, candle makers, and other artisans 
worked in their homes or barns, relying on help of family.
 Perhaps no single phenomenon brought more widespread and lasting change to the United 
States society than the rise of industrialization. Industrial growth hinged on several economic 
factors. First, industry requires an abundance of natural resources, especially coal, iron ore, water, 
petroleum, and timber-all readily available on the North American continent. Second, factories 
demand a large labor supply. Between the 1870’s and the First World War (1914-1918), 
approximately 23 million immigrants streamed to the United States, settled in cities, and went to 
work in factories and mines. They also helped build the vast network of canals and railroads that 
crisscrossed the continent and linked important trade centers essential to industrial growth.
 Factories also offered a reprieve from the backbreaking work and financial unpredictability 
associated with farming. Many adults, poor and disillusioned with farm life, were lured to the 
cities by promises of steady employment, regular paychecks, increased access to goods and 
services, and expanded social opportunities. Others were pushed there when new technologies 
made their labor cheap or expendable; inventions such as steel plows and mechanized harvesters 
allowed one farmhand to perform work that previously had required several, thus making farming 
capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive.
 The United States economy underwent a massive transition and the nature of work was 
permanently altered. Whereas cottage industries relied on a few highly skilled craft workers who 
slowly and carefully converted raw materials into finished products from start to finish, factories 
relied on specialization. While factory work was less creative and more monotonous, it was also 
more efficient and allowed mass production of goods at less expense.
Câu 36: What aspect of life in the United States does the passage mainly discuss?
 A. The transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy
 B. The problems associated with the earliest factories
 C. The difficulty of farm life in the nineteenth century
 D. The inventions that transformed life in the nineteenth century

 A. depended on B. started on C. contributed to D. recovered from
Câu 39: Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a reason for the industrial growth 
that occurred in the United States before 1914?
 A. The availability of natural resources found only in the United States
 B. The replacement of canals and railroads by other forms of transportation
 C. The decrease in number of farms resulting from technological advances
 D. The availability of a large immigrant work force
Câu 40: The word “Others” in paragraph 3 refers to other _______.

intensive rather than labor-intensive”?
 A. Workers had to be trained to operate the new machines.
 B. Mechanized farming required more capital and fewer laborers.
 C. The new inventions were not helpful for all farming activities.
 D. Human labor could still accomplish as much work as the first machines.

 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 44 to 50.
 Coral reefs are the most diverse of all marine ecosystems. They are full of life, with 
perhaps one quarter of all ocean species depending on reefs for food and shelter. This is a 
remarkable statistics when you consider that reefs cover just a tiny fraction of the earth's surface 
and less than two per cent of the ocean bottom. Because they are so diverse, coral reefs are often 
called the rainforests of the ocean. Coral reefs are very important to people. They even provide 
seventy per cent of the food demands for some marine species, protection of shorelines,jobs 
based on tourism (nine out of twelve activities for tourists in Nha Trang, for example, involve the 
coral reefs), and even medicines.
 Unfortunately, climate change is the greatest global threat to coral reef ecosystems. Scientific 
evidence now clearly indicates that the Earth's atmosphere and ocean are warming, and that these 
changes are primarily due to greenhouse gases derived from human activities.
 As temperatures rise, mass coral bleaching events and infectious disease outbreaks are 
becoming more frequent. Additionally, carbon dioxide absorbed into the ocean from the 
atmosphere has already begun to reduce calcification rates in reef-building and reef-associated 
organisms by altering seawater chemistry through decreases in pH. This process is called ocean 
acidification.
 Climate change will affect coral reef ecosystems, through sea level rise, changes to the 
frequency and intensity of tropical storms, and altered ocean circulation patterns. When 
combined, all of these impacts dramatically alter ecosy stem function, as well as the goods and 
services coral reef ecosystems provide to people around the globe.
 There are also many things you can do to ensure that you are environmentally conscious when 
you visit coral reefs or coastal areas."These include things such as hiring local guides to support 
the economy, removing all trash from an area, neves touching or harassing wildlife in reef areas, 
and avoiding dropping your boat anchor or chain nearby a coral reef.
 Finally, stay informed and spread the word! Educate yourself about why healthy coral reefs are 
valuable to the people; fish, plaints, and animals that depend on them. Your excitement will help 
others get involved.

 A. ocean species B. ecosystems of the ocean
 C. marine species D. rainforests of the ocean.
Câu 47: What is the worst threat to the coral reefs ?
 A. human B. climate change C. greenhouse gas D. tourism

Câu 49: Which of the following statement is NOT true?

 B. You can help the coral reefs by educating not only yourself but people around you.
 C. The effects of global warming are only on the ecosystems themselves.
