(1) The protozoans, minute, aquatic creatures each of which consists of a single cell of protoplasm, constitute a classification of the most primitive forms of animal life. They are fantastically diverse, but three major groups may be identified on the basis of their motility. The Mastigophora have one or more long tails, which they use to project themselves forward. The Ciliata, which use the same basic means for locomotion as the Mastigophora, have a larger number of short tails. The Sarcodina, which include amoebae, float or row themselves about on their crusted bodies. (2) In addition to their form of movement, several other features discriminate among the three groups of protozoans. For example, at least two nuclei per cell have been identified in the Ciliata, usually a large nucleus that regulates growth but decomposes during reproduction, and a smaller one that contains the genetic code necessary to generate the large nucleus. (3) Protozoans are considered animals because, unlike pigmented plants to which some protozoans are otherwise almost identical, they do not live on simple organic compounds. Their cell demonstrates all of the major characteristics of the cells of higher animals. (4) Many species of protozoans collect into colonies, physically connected to each other and responding uniformly to outside stimulae. Current research into this phenomenon, along with investigations carried out with advanced microscopes may necessitate a redefinition of what constitutes protozoans, even calling into question the basic premise that they have only one cell. Nevertheless, with the current data HOC24.VN 5 available, almost 40,000 species of protozoans have been identified. No doubt, as the technology improves our methods of observation, better models of classification will be proposed. Câu 36: With what topic is the passage primarily concerned? A. Colonies of protozoans B. Mastigophora C. Motility in protozoans D. Characteristics of protozoans Câu 37: The word “minute” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by A. Very common B. Very fast C. Very old D. Very small Câu 38: Where do protozoans probably live? A. Water B. Sand C. Grass D. Wood Câu 39: What is protoplasm? A. A class of protozoan B. The substance that forms the cell of a protozoan C. A primitive animal similar to a protozoan D. An animal that developed from a protozoan Câu 40: The word “uniformly” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to A. in the same way B. once in a while C. all of a sudden D. in the long run Câu 41: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to A. protozoans B. microscopes C. investigations D. colonies Câu 42: Which of the following statements are NOT true of protozoans? A. There are approximately 40,000 species. B. They are the most primitive forms of animal life. C. They have a large cell and a smaller cell. D. They are difficult to observe. Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 8. (1) It was the first photograph that I had ever seen, and it fascinated me. I can remember holding it at every angle in order to catch the flickering light from the oil lamp on the dresser. The man in the photograph was unsmiling, but his eyes were kind. I had never met him, but I felt that I knew him. One evening when I was looking at the photograph, as I always did before I went to sleep, I noticed a shadow across the man’s thin face. I moved the photograph so that the shadow lay perfectly around his hollow cheecks. How different he looked! (2) That night I could not sleep, thinking about the letter that I would write. First, I would tell him that I was eleven years old, and that if he had a little girl my age, she could write to me instead of him. I knew that he was a very busy man. Then I would explain to him the real purpose of my letter. I would tell him how wonderful he looked with the shadow that I had seen across his photograph, and I would most carefully suggest that he grow whiskers. (3) Four months later when I met him at the train station near my home in Westfield, New York, he was wearing a full beard. He was so much taller than I had imagined from my tiny photograph. HOC24.VN 6 (4) “Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “I have no speech to make and no time to make it in.
