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 42.
As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers
have become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart
attacks. High-fat diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high
incidence of heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be
significantly longer and quite surprising.
Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher
percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on
Monday than on any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart

attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning
phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have since discovered a number of possible causes. An earlymorning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus
a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks
between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.
In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors.
Statistics reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the
few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more at
risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in
some way to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of
further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered.
Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. risk factors in heart attacks
B. cardiology in the 1980s
C. seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks
D. diet and stress as factors in heart attacks
Question 37: The word "potential" could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. harmful
B. possible
C. unknown
D. primary
Question 38: The phrase "susceptible to" could best be replaced by _______.
A. prone to
B. aware of
C. accustomed
D. affected by
Question 39: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a possible cause of many
heart attacks?
A. decreased blood flow to the heart
B. increase in hormones
C. lower heart rate
D. increased blood pressure
Question 40: The word "phenomenon" refers to which of the following?
A. habit
B. activity
C. illness
D. occurrence
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT cited as a possible risk factor?
A. getting married B. having a birthday C. eating fatty foods D. being under stress
Question 42: Which of the following does the passage infer?
A. We do not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks.
B. We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks.
C. We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks.
D. We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks.

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.
The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal. Other solid
materials such as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures.
Also, some substances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when
dissolved in water. The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond
together. In order to bond together, the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost
electrons. This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions. The
lost electrons are free to move in what are known as a sea of electrons. Since the electrons are
negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure together.
An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are
free to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such
as a battery is connected to the metal. Hence we have an electric current flowing through the
wire, and this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity. The only other common
solid conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a
pencil is made from). Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a
way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current. Likewise, if
we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a
current but only when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or
dissolved in water. In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its
charged ions cannot flow.
Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because
they contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow easily.
Water itself is a poor conductor of electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully
charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is
neutral). However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will
be more conductive than pure water. Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical
devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through
perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive.
Question 43: Electrical conductivity is__________.
A. one of the most important properties of metals
B. one of the key properties of most solid materials
C. impossible for any substance when it is dissolved in water
D. completely impossible for silicon
Question 44: According to the passage, a metal can conduct electricity due to________.
A. the absence of free electrons
B. its atoms with a positive charge

Trang 6/7 – Mã đề 002

C. the loss of one electron in the core of its atoms
D. the way its atoms bond together
Question 45: The word “outermost” in the first paragraph mostly means_________.
A. the lightest
B. nearest to the inside
C. furthest from the inside
D. the heaviest
Question 46: The atoms of a metal can bond together because_________.
A. negatively charged electrons attract positive ions
B. the lost electrons cannot move freely in the sea of electrons
C. electrons can flow in a single direction
D. positive ions are always fixed.
Question 47: Salt in its solid state is not able to conduct electricity because________.
A. it has free electrons
B. its charged ions can flow easily
C. it cannot create any charge ions
D. its charged ions are not free to move
Question 48: The word “they” in the third paragraph refers to__________.
A. charged ions
B. electrical insulators
C. charged particles
D. electric currents
Question 49: Water is a poor conductor because it contains __________.
A. only a small amount of fully charged particles
B. no positive or negative electric charge
C. only a positive electric charge
D. only a negative electric charge
Question 50: We can have problems when touching electrical devices with wet hands
because______.
A. the eater itself is a good conductor of electricity
B. the water contains too many neutral molecules
C. the water containing no charged particles makes it more conductive
D. the water dissolves the salt on our skin and becomes more conductive
