 When the first white men came to America, they found vast amounts of natural resources of tremendous value. 
Forests covered a large part of the nation; later gas, oil and minerals were found in unbelievable amounts. There was a 
great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and rivers abounded with wildlife. So vast were these 
resources that it seemed that they could never be used up. So forests were destroyed to make way for farmland. Grass lands 
and prairies were plowed and harrowed. Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to supply a young industrial nation. 
Almost every river became the scene of factories, mills and power companies. Mammals and birds were slaughtered for 
food and sports. 
 Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused millions of dollars worth of damage yearly. The very 
fertile soil was washed away or blown up in great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and minerals showed signs of 
depletion. Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from factories. Many of the rivers were made unfit for 
fish. Several species of birds disappeared, and some mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future timber shortages were 
predicted. In short, Americans soon became to realize that some sort of conservation program must be set up, if future as 
well as present Americans were to share in the resources that are the heritage of every American. 
Question 38: The title that best expresses the main idea of this selection is ________. 
 A. The story of America's natural resources B. What the first white men found in America

 C. the natural resources were inexhaustible 
 D. forests should not be cut 
Question 40: The use of America's natural resources by the early settlers was ________. 
 A. scientific B. predicted C. unbelievable D. careless 
Question 41: Much of the fertile soil of America has ________. 
 A. been eroded by wind and water 
 B. been covered by lakes 
 C. become the scene of factories 
 D. sunk deep into the earth 
Question 42:One reason why many of our rivers are no longer suitable living places for fish is that ________. 
 A. factories have dumped wastes into the rivers 
 B. too many fish have been caught 
 Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 120 C. floods have caused much damage

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 
 Lighthouses are towers with strong lights that help mariners plot their position, inform them that land is near, and 
warn them of dangerous rocks and reefs. They are placed at prominent points on the coast and on islands, reefs, and 
sandbars. 
 Every lighthouse has a distinctive pattern of light known as its characteristic. There are five basic characteristics: 
fixed, flashing, occulting, group flashing, and group occulting. A fixed signal is a steady beam. A flashing signal has 
periods of darkness longer than periods of light, while an occulting signal’s periods of light are longer. A group- flashing 
light gives off two or more flashes at regular intervals, and a group – occulting signal consists of a fixed light with two or 
more periods of darkness at regular intervals. Some lighthouses use lights of different colors as well, and today, most 
lighthouses are also equipped with radio beacons. The three types of apparatus used to produce the signals are the catoptric, 
in which metal is used to reflect the light; the dioptric, in which glass is used; and the catadioptric, in which both glass and 
metal are used. 
 In the daytime, lighthouses can usually be identified by their structure alone. The most typical structure is a tower 
tapering at the top, but some, such as the Bastion Lighthouse on the Saint Lawrence River, are shaped like pyramids, and 
others, such as the Race Rock light, look like wooden houses sitting on high platforms. Still others, such as The American 
Shoal lighthouse off the Florida Coast, are skeletal towers of steel. Where lighthouses might be confused in daylight, they 
can be distinguished by day- marker patterns – designed of checks and stripes painted in vivid colors on lighthouse walls. 
 In the past, the job of lighthouse keeper was lonely and difficult if somewhat romantic. Lighthouse keepers put in 
hours of tedious work maintaining the lights. Today, lighthouses are almost entirely automated with humans supplying 
only occasional maintenance. Because of improvements in navigational technology, the importance of lighthouses has 
diminished. There are only about 340 functioning lighthouses in existence in the United States today, compared to about 
1,500 in 1900, and there are only about 1,400 functioning lighthouses outside the United States. Some decommissioned 
lighthouses have been preserved as historical monument. 
Question 43: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the functions of lighthouses? 
 A. To help sailors determine their location 
 B. To warn of danger from rocks and reefs 
 C. To notify sailors that bad weather is approaching 
 D. To indicate that land is near 
Question 44: The word “prominent” is closest in meaning to_______. 
 A. dangerous B. conspicuous C. picturesque D. famous 
Question 45: In the context of this passage, the author uses the term “characteristic” to refer to a _______. 
 A. period of darkness B. person who operates a lighthouse 
 C. pattern painted on a lighthouse D. distinctive light signal 
Question 46: According to the passage, what kind of signal has long periods of light that are regularly broken by two or 
more periods of darkness? 
 A. Flashing B. Group occulting C. Occulting D. Group flashing 
Question 47: For which of the following does the author NOT provide a scientific example in the third paragraph? 
 A. A lighthouse with day-marker patterns B. A lighthouse made of steel 
 C. A lighthouse shaped like a pyramid D. A lighthouse that resembles a house on a platform 
Question 48: According to the passage, a catoptric apparatus is one that uses _______. 
 A. lights of various colors B. metal 
 C. glass D. a radio beacon 
Question 49: It can be concluded from the passage that lighthouses with day- marker patterns would most likely be found 
in areas where_______. 
 A. the weather is frequently bad 
 B. the structure themselves cannot be easily seen by passing mariners 
 C. there are not many lighthouses 
 D. there are a number of lighthouses with similar structures 
Question 50: The author implies that, compared to those of the past, contemporary lighthouses ______.
