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.

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction makes it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre structure near the Nile river is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west-an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.

Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events - past, present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of ancient past.

Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any known today?

In the second passage, the word ‘prophesied’ is closest in meaning to ______.

A. foretold

B. terminated

C. precipitated

D. affiliated

Đáp án A

Trong đoạn văn 2, từ ”prophesied” gần nghĩa nhất với______?

A. foretell /fɔ:'tel/ (v): béo trước                             B. terminate /'tə:mineit/ (v): chấm dứt

C. precipitate /pri'sipi,teit/ (v): kết tủa                    D. affiliate /ə'filieit/ (v): liên kết

Căn cứ vào ngữ cảnh của câu: “Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation.” (Nhiều sự kiện đã được diễn giải và tìm thấy trùng khớp với những sự kiện đã biết của quá khứ. Những điều thì được tiên đoán cho các thế hệ tương lai và hiện đang được điều tra)

=> prophesy /'prɔfi,sai/ (v): tiên tri = foretell

Tạm dịch

Một trong bay kỳ quan của thế giới cổ đại, Kim Tự tháp Giza là tượng đài trí tuệ và tiên tri được xây dựng như một ngôi mộ cho Pharaoh Cheops vào năm 2720 trước Công nguyên. Mặc dù ở thời cổ đại, một số khía cạnh về xây dựng khiến nó một trong những kỳ quan thật sự của thế giới. Cấu trúc mười ba mẫu gần sông Nile là một khối đã phủ đầy đá vôi. Bên trong là nhiều lối đi ẩn và buồng chôn cất của Pharaoh. Đây là cấu trúc đơn lẻ lớn nhất trên thế giới. Bốn cạnh của kim tự tháp được sắp xếp gần như chính xác về phía bắc, nam, động và tây - một thành tựu kỹ thuật đáng kinh ngạc. Người Ai Cập cổ đại là những người tôn thờ mặt trời và là các nhà thiên văn học vĩ đại, vì vậy các tính toán cho Kim tự tháp

được dựa trên những quan sát thiên văn.

Những khám phá và kiểm tra chi tiết của cấu trúc cho thấy nhiều đường giao nhau. Nghiên cứu khoa học sau đó chỉ ra rằng đây là một dòng chảy của sự kiện - quá khứ, hiện tại và tương lai. Nhiều sự kiện đã được diễn giải và tìm thấy trùng khớp với những sự kiện đã biết của quá khứ. Những điều thì được tiên đoán cho các thế hệ tương lai và hiện đang được điều tra. Nhiều người tin rằng kim tự tháp có sức mạnh siêu nhiên và điều này cũng không ngoại lệ. Một số nhà nghiên cứu thậm chí còn liên kết nó với các sinh vật ngoài trái đất trong quá khứ cổ đại.

Liệu cấu trúc thượng tầng này do những con người bình thường tạo ra hay được tạo ra bởi một giống loài vượt trội so với bất kỳ loài nào ngày nay?

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.

            Of all modern instruments, the violin is apparently one of the simplest. It consist in essence of a hollow, varnished wooden sound box, or resonator, and a long neck covered with a fingerboard, along which four strings are stretched at high tension. The beauty of design, shape, and decoration is no accident, the proportions of the instrument are determined entirely by acoustical considerations. Its simplicity of appearance is deceptive. About 70 parts are involved in the construction of a violin. Its tone and its outstanding range of expressiveness make it an ideal solo instrument. No less important, however, is its role as an orchestral and chamber instrument In I combination with the larger and deeper-sounding members of the same family, the violins form the nucleusof the modem symphony orchestra.

The violin has been in existence since about 1550. Its importance as an instrument in its own right dates from the early 1600’s, when it first became standard in Italian opera orchestras. Its stature as an orchestral instrument was raised further when in 1626 Louis XIII of France established at his court the orchestra known as Les vinq-quatre violons du Roy (The King's 24 Violins), which was to become widely famous later in the century.

In its early history, the violin had a dull and rather quiet tone resulting from the fact that the strings were thick and were attached to the body of the instrument very loosely. During the eighteenth and nineteenth century exciting technical changes were inspired by such composer-violinists as Vivaldi and Tartini. Their instrumental compositions demanded a fuller, clearer, and more brilliant tone that was produced by using thinner strings and a far higher string tension. Small changes had to be made to the violin's internal structure and to the fingerboard so that they could withstand the extra strain. Accordingly, a higher standard of performance was achieved, in terms of both facility and interpretation. Left-hand technique was considerably elaborated, and new fingering patterns on the fingerboard were developed for very high notes.

The word “they” in the passage refers to___________.

A. internal structure and fingerboard

B. thinner strings and a higher string tension

C. small changes

D. Civaldi and Tartini
