THE FASTEST DINOSAUR According to computer models that were used to estimate the running speed of dinosaurs, the Tyrannosaurus Rex would have been able to outrun a footballer. The study showed that the dinosaur could reach a top (31)_____ of 8 metres a second, which is fractionally faster than the average professional footballer. There has been a lot of controversy (32)_____ whether the Tyrannosaurus Rex was a predator or a scavenger; some believe that its highly developed sense of smell indicates that it was scavenger, while others say that its keen eyesight shows that it was a hunter. The (33)_____ group will appreciate the recent study, as a hunter is more likely to require such speed. The University of Manchester study used a powerful supercomputer to calculate the running speed of five-meat eating dinosaurs and used data taken directly from dinosaur fossils, rather than referring to previous work on modern animals. The Tyrannosaurus Rex, however, was not the fastest dinosaur. A small dinosaur called Compsognathus, which was about the size of a chicken, could run at 18 metres a second, (34)_____ is faster than ostrich, the fastest two-legged animal today.

Water scarcity is fast becoming one of the major limiting factors in world crop production. In many areas, poor agricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of formerly arable lands. Consequently, those plant species that are well adapted to survival in dry climates are being looked at for an answer in developing more efficient crops to grow on marginally arable lands. Plants use several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments. Some involve purely mechanical and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant's surface, smaller leaf size, and extensive root systems. Some of the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms. Many plants, such as cacti, have internal gums and mucilage which give them water-retaining properties. Another chemical mechanism is that of the epicuticular wax layer. This wax layer acts as an impervious cover to protect the plant. It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture. It also protects the plant from external aggression, which can come from inorganic agents such as gases, or organic agents which include bacteria and plant pests. Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes with similar protective abilities could be prepared based on knowledge of desert plants. If successfully developed, such a compound could be used to greatly increase a plant's ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as inadequate water supply, limited fertilizer availability, attack by pests, and poor storage after harvesting. Question 36: This passage deals mainly with _____. A. decreasing water supply B. desertification C. factors limiting crop production D. developing efficient plants st Question 37: The word “arable” in the 1 paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.

It guards against bacteria. C. It releases gases against plant pests. D. It helps the plant to avoid excessive moisture intake Question 39: The word “It” in the 2nd paragraph refers to _____. A. the epicuticular wax layer B. the loss of internal moisture C. an impervious plant like cover D. another chemical mechanism nd Question 40: The word “aggression” in the 2 paragraph is closest in meaning to _____. A. surroundings B. conditions C. attack D. agitation Question 41: It can be inferred that synthetic stimulate waxes _____. A. have been determined to be impervious to organic and inorganic agents B. have not succeeded C. have not been developed yet D. have the quality of causing bacteria Trang 4/6 – Mã đề thi 520 Luyện đề thi THPT QG 2017 môn tiếng Anh (Đề thi thử số 8) | mrnsapro@gmail.com (Biên soạn) Question 42: All of the following are examples of an adverse situation for crops EXCEPT _____.

Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as "silent", the film has never been, in the full sense of the word, silent. From the very beginning, music was regarded as an indispensable accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes. At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films; an accompaniment of any kind was sufficient. Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a solemn film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in matching their pieces to the mood of the film. As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist would be added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal qualification for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown (if, indeed, the conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the musical arrangement was normally improvised in the greatest hurry. To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing with their films such indications of mood as "pleasant', "sad", "lively". The suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next. Certain films had music especially composed for them. The most famous of these early special scores was that composed and arranged for D. W. Griffith's film Birth of a Nation, which was released in 1915. Question 43: The passage mainly discusses music that was _____. A. specifically composed for certain movie theaters B. performed before the showing of a film C. played during silent films D. recorded during film exhibitions Question 44: What can be inferred that the passage about the majority of films made after 1927? A. They were accompanied by symphonic orchestras. B. They were truly “silent”. C. They incorporated the sound of the actors' voices. D. They corresponded to specific musical compositions.

A. serious B. simple C. silent D. short Question 46: It can be inferred that orchestra conductors who worked in movie theaters needed to _____. A. have pleasant voices B. be familiar with a wide variety of music C. be able to compose original music D. be able to play many instruments Trang 5/6 – Mã đề thi 520 Luyện đề thi THPT QG 2017 môn tiếng Anh (Đề thi thử số 8) | mrnsapro@gmail.com (Biên soạn) Question 47: According to the passage, what kind of business was the Edison Company?
