correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 37 
Galaxies are not evenly distributed through the universe. A few are found alone, but almost all are 
grouped in formations termed galactic clusters. These formations should not be confused with stellar 
clusters, globularclusters of stars that exist within galaxy. The size of galactic clusters varies 
enormously, with some cluster containing only a dozen or so member and others containing as many as 
10,000. Moreover, galactic clusters themselves are part of larger clusters of clusters, termed super 
clusters. It is surmised that even clusters of super clusters are possible. 
 Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a galactic cluster called the Local Group, which has twenty 
members and is typical in terms of the types of galaxies it contains. There are three large spiral 
galaxies: Andromeda, the largest galaxy in the group; the Milky Way, the second- largest galaxy; and 
the Triangulum Spiral, the third largest. There are also four medium-sized spiral galaxies, including the 
Large Cloud of Magallan and the Small Cloud of Magellan. There are four regular elliptical galaxies; 
the remainder are dwaftellipticals. Other than our own galaxy, only Andromeda and the Clouds of 
Magellan can be seen with the naked eye, and the Clouds are visiable only from the Southern 
Hemisphere. 
 In the vicinity of the Local Group are several clusters, each containing around twelve members.The 
nearest rich in members is the Virgo Cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies of all types. Like 
most large clusters, it emits X-rays. The Local Group, the small neighboring clusters, and the Virgo 
Cluster form part of a much larger cluster of clusters – the Local Super cluster. 
 The existence of galactic clusters presented a riddle to scientists for many years – the “ missing 
mass” problem. Clusters are presumally held together by the gravity generated by their members. 
However, measurements showed that the galaxies did not have enough mass to explain their apparent 
 Trang 3/5 - Mã đề thi 408 stability. Why didn’t these clusters disintegrate? It is now thought that galaxies contain great amounts 
of “ dark matter”, which can not be directly observed but which generates gravitation pull. The matter 
includes gas, dust, burnt –out stars, and even black holes. 
Câu 33: Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?

common? 
 A. Both emit X-ray B. Both are small clusters.

If there is an eighth Wonder of the World, it is probably the lost city of Atlantis, if we just could find it. 
(38)_____________ the large amounts of money that have been spent trying to find the site of this 
ancient city, the most important question remains unanswered. Did it ever really exist? Atlantis was

The people were coming from a city on a hill 15 miles wide and, at first , they lived simple, virtuous 
lives. But slowly they became more and more greedy and Zeus decided to teach them a lesson. It is 
possible that Plato (40)__________ his story on the ancient civilization of Minoans Crete, but other 
sites have also been told. It is true that the Minoans were an advanced society and it is possibly that 
sports on the north coast of Crete were destroyed by a vocanosome time around 3420 BC. When Plato

Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best way to make an important 
decision, such as choosing a university to attend or business to invest in, involves the utilization of a 
decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by 
people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Proponents of the worksheet procedure 
believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although there are several variations on the 
exact format that worksheets can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects. 
 Trang 4/5 - Mã đề thi 408 Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible 
solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that all possible solutions to the problem. 
Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative 
importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a 
numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding 
these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision. 
 Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each 
with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making 
procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally 
comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. 
A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with 
complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question "What will I do 
after graduation?" A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced 
degree, or travel abroad for a year. 
 A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to 
narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals 
because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long-
range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to "What will I do after graduation 
that will lead to a successful career?" 
Câu 43: What does the passage mainly discuss? 
 A. Reseach on how people make decisions 
 B. A comparison of actual decisions and ideal ones. 
 C. Differences between long-range and short-range decision making 
 D. tool to assist in making complex decisions. 
Câu 44: The word “ utilization” in parargraph 1 is closest in meaning to_______. 
 A. application B. employment C. realization D. performance 
Câu 45: Of the following steps, which occurs before the others in making a decision on worksheet. 
 A. Caculating a numerical summary of each solution 
 B. Listing the consequences of each solution. 
 C. Deciding which consequences are most important 
 D. Writing down all possible solutions 
Câu 46: According to a decision- worksheet theory, an optimal decision is defined as one 
that__________. 
 A. has the most points assigned to it B. Has the fewest variables to consider 
 C. uses the most decision worksheets D. is agreed by the greatest number of people 
Câu 47: The author organizes the paragraph 3 by__________. 
 A. classifying types of worksheets B. providing historical background 
 C. explaining a theory D. Describing a process
