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
Though harvesting ice is not a new concept, recently it has been considered in a way. Scientists have been
studying this idea of harvesting ice as a possible solution to the problem of the worlds dwindling fresh water
supply. Ninety percent of the earths fresh water is in the icecap of Antarctica. If only 10 percent of that ice could
be towed to civilization, it could provide water for 500 million people. But the problem, of course, is one of
melting. How can a giant iceberg be towed across the sea without melting?
The answer could lie in enclosing the floating ice iceberg in cylindrical container made of a high strength
synthetic fabric. If the iceberg were nudged into the fabric container, which is opened at both ends, then the
ends could be sealed and the sea water pumped out. After that it could be towed to civilization. The melting rate
would be slowed down and the synthetic cocoon would act a holding tank for the water.
Engineering this project, which might include a container up to one kilometer in length and 100 meters in
diameter, would be a feat, but engineers say it is possible. After all, fishermen in North Australia sometimes use
nets 8 kilometers long and 20 meters across.
Question 36. What is the main subject of this passage?
A. The dwindling water supply on earth.

GIO VIN: NGUY N LAN ANH

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 43 to 50
Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk on earth.
The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia, a desert on
the eastern slopes of the Andes in the South America. Besides the interesting fact that the dinosaur was huge
and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of the number of the dinosaurs were found together.
This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as loners and instead indicates that
they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the North America and were believed
to hunt and live alone.
The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely related to
as a fox would be to a dog. It is not actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, different
from it as a cat is from a dog.
The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago.
