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 36 to 43.

Around the year 1500, hunting people occupied the entire northern third of North America. They lived well from the animals with which they shared these lands. Hunters of sea mammals had colonized the Arctic coasts of Canada and Greenland between four and five thousand years before. Land-hunting people had lived throughout much of the northern interior for at least 12,000 years.

Northern North America is part of a larger circumpolar ecological domain that continues across the narrow Bering Strait into Siberia and northern Europe. The overall circumpolar environment in the 1500's was not very different from the environment of the present. This vast landmass had a continental climate and was dominated by cold arctic air throughout a long winter and spring season. Summer temperature ranged from near freezing to the mid-20's Celsius, while winter temperature were often as low as 40 degrees below zero Celsius.

Geographers divide the overall circumpolar domain into two zones, the Arctic and, below it, the Subarctic. They refer to the landforms of these areas as tundra and taiga, respectively.

Temperatures in the northern lands were below freezing for eight or nine months of the year. Subsurface soil in the Arctic's tundra remained permanently frozen. Even when summer temperatures were above freezing and the top inches of earth became saturated with water, the soil below remained frozen into a permafrost, as hard as rock. When water flowed upon the surface of permanently frozen tundra, it made overland travel extremely difficult. Summer travel in the boggy lands, or muskeg country, of the Sub Arctic’s taiga was also slow and arduous. Tracking animals was more difficult than it was during the winter when the swampy ground was frozen solid and covered with snow. In both tundra and taiga, hordes of mosquitoes and biting flies bred in the standing pools of water. Clothing lost its thermal efficiency when it became damp. Northern people looked forward to the turn of the season to bring the easier traveling conditions associated with cold weather. In the Arctic, they could haul food and supplies by dogsled while in the Subarctic; people could travel quickly and efficiently by snowshoes and toboggan.

For how many months of the year were temperatures below freezing in the circumpolar region?

A. 4-5 months

B. 6 months

C. 8-9 months

D. 12 months

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 36 to 43.

The hard, rigid plates that form the outermost portion of the Earth are about 100 kilometers thick. These plates include both the Earth's crust and the upper mantle. The rocks of the crust are composed mostly of minerals with light elements, like aluminum and sodium, while the mantle contains some heavier elements, like iron and magnesium. Together, the crust and upper mantle that form the surface plates are called the lithosphere. This rigid layer floats on the denser material of the lower mantle the way a wooden raft floats on a pond. The plates are supported by a weak, plastic layer of the lower mantle called the asthenosphere. Also like a raft on a pond, the lithospheric plates are carried along by slow currents in this more fluid layer beneath them.

With an understanding of plate tectonics, geologists have put together a new history for the Earth's surface. About 200 million years ago, the plates at the Earth's surface formed a “supercontinent” called Pangaea. When this supercontinent started to tear apart because of plate movement, Pangaea first broke into two large continental masses with a newly formed sea that grew between the land areas as the depression filled with water. The southern one — which included the modern continents of South America, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica — is called Gondwanaland. The northern one — with North America, Europe, and Asia — is called Laurasia. North America tore away from Europe about 180 million years ago, forming the northern Atlantic Ocean. Some of the lithospheric plates carry ocean floor and others carry land masses or a combination of the two types. The movement of the lithospheric plates is responsible for earthquakes, volcanoes, and the Earth's largest mountain ranges. Current understanding of the interaction between different plates explains why these occur where they do. For example, the edge of the Pacific Ocean has been called the “Ring of Fire” because so many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes happen there. Before the 1960's, geologists could not explain why active volcanoes and strong earthquakes were concentrated in that region. The theory of plate tectonics gave them an answer.

According to the passage, the northern Atlantic Ocean was formed when

A. Pangaea was created

B. plate movement ceased

C. Gondwanaland collided with Pangaea

D. parts of Laurasia separated from each other

Read the following passage and mart the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

The time when human crossed the Arctic land bridge from Siberia to Alaska seems remote to us today, but actually represents a late stage in the prehistory of humans, an era when polished stone implements and bows and arrows were already being used and dogs had already been domesticated.

When these early migrants arrived in North America, they found the woods and plains dominated by three types of American mammoths. These elephants were distinguished from today’s elephants mainly by their thick, shaggy coats and their huge, upward–curving tusks. They had arrived on the continent hundreds of thousands of years before their followers. The woolly mammoth in the North, the Columbian mammoth in middle North America, and the imperial mammoth of the South, together with their distant cousins the mastodons, dominated the land. Here, as in the Old World, there is evidence that humans hunted these elephants, as shown by numerous spear points found with mammoth remains.

Then, at the end of the Ice Age, when the last glaciers had retreated, there was a relatively sudden and widespread extinction of elephants. In the New World, both mammoths and mastodons disappeared. In the Old World, only Indian and African elephants survived.

Why did the huge, seemingly successful mammoths disappear? Were humans connected with their extinction? Perhaps, but at that time, although they were cunning hunters, humans were still widely settled and not very numerous. It is difficult to see how they could have prevailed over the mammoth to such an extent. 

Which of the following is NOT true about prehistoric humans at the time of mammoths extinction? 

A. They were concentrated in a small area

B. They were skilled hunters

C. They were relatively few in number

D. They knew how to use bows and arrows

Thông tin: When these early migrants arrived in North America, they found the woods and plains dominated by three types of American mammoths. These elephants were distinguished from today’s elephants mainly by their thick, shaggy coats and their huge, upward–curving tusks.

Tạm dịch: Khi những người di cư sớm này đến Bắc Mỹ, họ đã tìm thấy những khu rừng và đồng bằng bị thống trị bởi ba loại voi ma mút Mỹ. Những con voi này được phân biệt với voi ngày nay chủ yếu bởi bộ lông dày, xù xì và những chiếc ngà to, cong của chúng.

Dịch bài đọc:

Thời đại khi con người đi qua cây cầu trên đất Bắc Cực từ Siberia đến Alaska có vẻ xa vời đối với chúng ta ngày nay, nhưng nó thực sự là giai đoạn cuối của thời tiền sử của con người, thời đại mà những công cụ mài bằng đá và cung tên được sử dụng và chó đã được thuần hóa.

Khi những người di cư sớm này đến Bắc Mỹ, họ đã tìm thấy những khu rừng và đồng bằng bị thống trị bởi ba loại voi ma mút Mỹ. Những con voi này được phân biệt với voi ngày nay chủ yếu bởi bộ lông dày, xù xì và những chiếc ngà to, cong của chúng. Chúng đã đến lục địa này hàng trăm ngàn năm trước những người đến sau chúng. Loài voi ma mút lông dài ở miền Bắc, voi ma mút Columbia ở miền trung Bắc Mỹ và voi ma mút hoàng gia ở miền Nam, cùng với anh em họ xa của chúng là những con voi răng mấu, thống trị vùng đất. Ở đây, như ở Thế giới cũ, có bằng chứng cho thấy con người đã săn bắt những con voi này, như thể hiện qua nhiều dấu vết của giáo được tìm thấy cùng với hóa thạch của voi ma mút.

Sau đó, vào cuối kỷ băng hà, khi những dòng sông băng cuối cùng đã tan chảy, loài voi đã trải qua một sự tuyệt chủng tương đối bất ngờ và lan rộng. Ở Thế giới mới, cả voi ma mút và voi răng mấu đều biến mất. Ở Thế giới cũ, chỉ có voi Ấn Độ và châu Phi sống sót.

Tại sao những con voi ma mút khổng lồ, dường như thành công biến mất? Có phải con người liên quan đến sự tuyệt chủng của chúng? Có thể, nhưng vào thời điểm đó, mặc dù là những thợ săn xảo quyệt, con người vẫn định cư rải rác và không đông lắm. Thật khó để thấy làm thế nào họ có thể chiếm ưu thế hơn voi ma mút đến mức như vậy.
