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 43 to 50.

(1) Iron production was revolutionized in the early eighteenth century when coke was first used instead of charcoal for refining iron ore. Previously the poor quality of the iron had restricted its use in architecture to items such as chains and tie bars for supporting arches, vaults, and walls. With the improvement in refining ore, it was now possible to make cast-iron beams, columns, and girders. During the nineteenth century further advances were made, notably Bessemer’s process for converting iron into steel, which made the material more commercially viable.

(2) Iron was rapidly adopted for the construction of bridges, because its strength was far greater than that of stone or timber, but its use in the architecture of buildings developed more slowly. By 1800 a complete internal iron skeleton for buildings had been developed in industrial architecture replacing traditional timber beams, but it generally remained concealed. Apart from its low cost, the appeal of iron as a building material lay in its strength, its resistance to fire, and its potential to span vast areas. As a result, iron became increasingly popular as a structural material for more traditional styles of architecture during the nineteenth century, but it was invariably concealed.

(3) Significantly, the use of exposed iron occurred mainly in the new building types spawned by the Industrial Revolution: in factories, warehouses, commercial offices, exhibition hall, and railroad stations, where its practical advantages far outweighed its lack of status. Designers of the railroad stations of the new age explored the potential of iron, covering huge areas with spans that surpassed the great vaults of medieval churches and cathedrals. Paxton’s Crystal Palace, designed to house the Great Exhibition of 1851, covered an area of 1.848 feet by 408 feet in prefabricated units of glass set in iron frames. The Paris Exhibition of 1889 included both the widest span and the greatest height achieved so far with the Halle Des Machines, spanning 362 feet, and the Eiffel Tower 1,000 feet high. However, these achievements were mocked by the artistic elite of Paris as expensive and ugly follies. Iron, despite its structural advantages, had little aesthetic status. The use of an exposed iron structure in the more traditional styles of architecture was slower to develop.

It can be inferred that the delayed use of exposed iron structures in traditional styles of architecture is best explained by the _____.

A. impracticality of using iron for small, noncommercial buildings

B. association of iron architecture with the problems of the Industrial Revolution

C. general belief that iron offered less resistance to fire and harsh weather than traditional materials

D. general perception that iron structures were not aesthetically pleasing

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 30 to 34.

A tropical cyclone is a violent low pressure storm that usually occurs over warm oceans of over 80°F or 27°C. It winds counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere as it is described for the term, cyclone itself. This powerful storm is fueled by the heat energy that is released when water vapor condenses at high altitudes, the heat ultimately derived from the Sun.

The center of a tropical cyclone, called the eye, is relatively calm and warm. This eye, which is roughly 20 to 30 miles wide, is clear, mainly because of subsiding air within it. The ring of clouds around the eye is the eyewall, where clouds reach highest and precipitation is heaviest. The strong wind, gusting up to 360 kilometers per hour, occurs when a tropical cyclone’s eyewall passes over land.

There are various names for a tropical cyclone depending on its location and strength. In Asia, a tropical cyclone is named according to its strength. The strongest is a typhoon; its winds move at more than 117 kilometers per hour. In India, it is called a cyclone. Over the North Atlantic and in the South Pacific, they call it a hurricane.

On average, there are about 100 tropical cyclones worldwide each year. A tropical cyclone peaks in late summer when the difference between temperature in the air and sea surface is the greatest. However, it has its own seasonal patterns. May is the least active month, while September is the most active.

The destruction associated with a tropical cyclone results not only from the force of the wind, but also from the storm surge and the waves it generates. It is born and sustained over large bodies of warm water, and loses its strength over inland regions that are comparatively safe from receiving strong winds. Although the tract of a tropical cyclone is very erratic, the Weather Service can still issue timely warnings to the public if a tropical cyclone is approaching densely populated areas. If people ever experience a cyclone, they would know how strong it could be.

According to paragraph 2, which of the following is true about the eyewall?

A. The eyewall is formed in cold weather.

B. When the eyewall passes overhead, the wind weakens.

C. The temperature is highest around the eye.

D. The eyewall is a cloud band that surrounds the eye.

Dịch bài đọc:

Bão nhiệt đới là một cơn bão áp suất thấp dữ dội thường xảy ra trên các đại dương ấm hơn 80°F hoặc 27°C. Nó di chuyển ngược chiều kim đồng hồ ở Bắc bán cầu và theo chiều kim đồng hồ ở Nam bán cầu như được mô tả cho thuật ngữ, hình tròn. Cơn bão mạnh mẽ này được thúc đẩy bởi năng lượng nhiệt được giải phóng khi hơi nước ngưng tụ ở độ cao lớn, cuối cùng nhiệt lượng có nguồn gốc từ Mặt trời.

Trung tâm của một cơn bão nhiệt đới, được gọi là mắt, tương đối yên tĩnh và ấm áp. Mắt bão, rộng khoảng từ 20 đến 30 dặm, rõ ràng, chủ yếu là do sự giảm áp suất không khí bên trong nó. Vòng tròn của các đám mây xung quanh mắt là thành mắt bão, nơi các đám mây đạt đến mức cao nhất và lượng mưa lớn nhất. Cơn gió mạnh, vận tốc tới 360 km mỗi giờ, xảy ra khi một cơn bão nhiệt đới nhiệt đới băng qua đất liền.

Có nhiều tên gọi khác nhau của một cơn bão nhiệt đới tùy thuộc vào vị trí và sức mạnh của nó. Ở châu Á, một cơn bão nhiệt đới được đặt tên theo sức mạnh của nó. Mạnh nhất là bão; sức gió của nó di chuyển với vận tốc hơn 117 km mỗi giờ. Ở Ấn Độ, nó được gọi là lốc xoáy. Trên Bắc Đại Tây Dương và ở Nam Thái Bình Dương, chúng gọi đó là một cơn bão.

Trung bình, có khoảng 100 cơn bão nhiệt đới trên toàn thế giới mỗi năm. Một cơn bão nhiệt đới đạt cực đại vào cuối mùa hè khi chênh lệch giữa nhiệt độ trong không khí và mặt nước biển là lớn nhất. Tuy nhiên, nó có đặc điểm theo mùa riêng của nó. Tháng 5 là tháng ít hoạt động nhất, trong khi tháng 9 là tháng hoạt động nhiều nhất.

Sự tàn phá của một cơn bão nhiệt đới không chỉ bắt nguồn sức mạnh của gió mà còn từ cơn bão và sóng do nó tạo ra. Nó được sinh ra và duy trì trên những vùng nước ấm lớn và tan đi khi vào đất liền, nơi tương đối an toàn khi có gió mạnh. Mặc dù đường đi của một cơn bão nhiệt đới rất thất thường, Dịch vụ thời tiết vẫn có thể đưa ra cảnh báo kịp thời cho công chúng nếu một cơn bão nhiệt đới đang đến gần các khu vực đông dân cư. Nếu mọi người từng trải qua một cơn bão, họ sẽ biết nó có thể mạnh đến mức nào.
