 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 livelihood of each species in the vast and intricate assemblage of living things depends on the existences of
other organisms. This interdependence is sometimes subtle, sometimes obvious. Perhaps the most straight forward
dependence of one species on another occurs with parasites, organisms that live on or in other living things and derive
Mã đề 005 / trang 2
nutrients directly from them. The parasitic way of life is widespread. A multitude of microorganisms ( including viruses
and bacteria) and an army of invertebrates - or creatures lacking a spinal column (including crustaceans, insects, and many
different types of worms ) -make their livings directly at the expense of other creatures. In the face of this onslaught, living
things have evolved a variety of defense mechanisms for protecting their bodies from invasion by other organisms.
Certain fungi and even some kinds of bacteria secrete substances known as antibiotics into their external
environment. These substances are capable of killing or inhibiting the growth of various kinds of bacteria that also occupy
the area, there by eliminating or reducing the competition for nutrients. The same principle is used in defense against
invaders in other groups of organisms. For example, when attacked by disease-causing fungi or bacteria, many kinds of
plants produce chemicals that help to ward off the invaders.
Members of the animal kingdom have developed a variety of defense mechanisms for dealing with
parasites. Although these mechanisms vary considerably, all major groups of animals are capable of detecting and reacting
to the presence of "foreign" cells. In fact, throughout the animal kingdom, from sponges to certain types of worms,
shellfish, and all vertebrates (creatures possessing a spinal column), there is evidence that transplants of cells or fragments
of tissues into an animal are accepted only if they come from genetically compatible or closely related individuals.
The ability to distinguish between "self" and "nonself", while present in all animals, is most efficient
among vertebrates, which have developed an immune system as their defense mechanism. The immune system recognizes
and takes action against foreign invaders and transplanted tissues that are treated as foreign cells.
Question 24. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. how parasites reproduce B.how organisms react to invaders
C.how antibiotics work to cure disease D. how the immune systems of vertebrates developed

 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each

I’ve always loved scary movies. I remember the first one I watched very clearly. My dad’s favourite films were his
DVD collection of old black and white thrillers. One day while my parents were out, I decided to watch one of these DVDs
on my laptop.
The quality wasn’t great because the screen was very small and I wasn’t used to watching black and white films. I
felt guilty because I hadn’t asked my parents’ permission to watch the film, but excited at the same time. I was also anxious
in case it would be too frightening. Luckily it wasn’t. The movie was only a little scary and I thought it was brilliant.
After that, from the age of 14-18, I watched all kinds of scry movies with my friends. Films about sharks, monsters,
vampires and ghosts; we loved them all. Sometimes I was so scared I couldn’t even look at the screen and spent most of the
time with a cushion over my face. I became too nervous to swim in the sea and imagined all kins of cretures hiding in the
dark outside my bedroom window.
Since that time, I’ve watched all these film again and again. I still think they’re terrific and they still make me jump.
But I’ve never been able to explain this trange attraction to fear. How can being frightened be a form of entertainment for so
many people ? is it a way of learning to deal with fear or is it just a way to escape from boring reality? I have no idea. But
what I do know is that I can’t live without the excitement of scary movies.
