19. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the tides. No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep.
20. The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies.
21. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month.

Câu 36: The word "felt" in line 3 is closest in meaning to A. based B. dropped C. detected D. explored Câu 37: The words "In reality" in line 8 are closest in meaning to A. surprisingly B. actually C. characteristically D. similarly Câu 38: It can be inferred from the passage that the most important factor in determining how much gravitational effect one object in space has on the tides is A. size B. distance C. temperature D. density

A. the Sun counteracts the Moon's gravitational attraction B. the Moon is full C. the Moon is farthest from the Sun D. waves created by the wind combine with the Moon's gravitational attraction
24. Câu 42: According to the passage, all of the following statements about tides are true EXCEPT: A. The time of high tide is later each day. B. Tides have a greater effect on the sea than waves do. C. The strongest tides occur at the quarters of the Moon. D. Neap tides are more moderate than spring tides.
25. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a hindrance, and may even cause harm. These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants. Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three in particular stand out. The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect. If a person has one noticeable good trait , their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are. Thus, an individual who dresses smartly and shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well regardless of his or her real ability.
26. Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect. This error occurs when interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information. Hence, in an interview situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the impression given by the candidate in the first few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant. The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers. A suitable candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally intelligent. Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged as more suitable than he or she really is.
27. Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability. Of the various tests devised, the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests. Question 43. The word “they” in line 6 refers to ___. A. applicants B. judgments C. interviewers D. characteristics

A. can easily be altered B. is unrelated to the interviewer’s prejudices C. is the one that stays with the interviewer D. has been repeatedly demonstrated to the applicant
29. Question 47. The word “skews” in line 14 is closest in meaning to ___. A. improves B. opposes C. biases D. Distinguishes Question 48. The author mentions all of the following reasons why interviewing is not an accurate way to predict candidate suitability EXCEPT the ___. A. primacy effect B. halo effect C. contrast effect D. cognitive effect
30. Question 49. The word “confirm” in line 11 is closest in meaning to ___. A. verify B. misrepresent C. recollect D. conclude Question 50.
