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 35 to 42.

  Often the craft worker’s place of employment in ancient Greece was set in rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement, At Corinth and Athens, however, two of the best-known potters’ quarters were situated on the cities’ outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines were also established well within the city of Athens itself. The techniques of pottery manufacture had evolved well before the Greek period, but marked stylistic developments occurred in shape and in decoration, for example, in the interplay of black and other glazes with the red surface of the fired pot. Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.; its distinctive color and luster were the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s temperature during an extended three-stage period if firing the clayware. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized that they did not share in the concerns of the other.

  The broad utility of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to confine themselves to either decorated housewares like cooking pots and jars or building materials like roof tiles and drainpipes. Some sixth-and fifth-century B.C. Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Tliasos produced many types of pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create particular effects for some products, such as relief-decorated vessels and figurines; for other products such as roof tiles, which were needed in some quantity, they were used to facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means- as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify.

According to the passage, all of the following are true of ancient Greek potters and vase painters EXCEPT __________________.

A. Their functions were so specialized that they lacked common concerns.

Đáp án chính xác

B. They sometimes produced inferior ware.

C. They produced pieces that had unusual color and shine.

D. They decorated many of their works with human images

B. Đôi khi họ sản xuất đồ kém chất lượng

C. Họ đã làm ra các sản phẩm có độ sáng bóng và màu sắc tuyệt vời

D. Họ đã trang trí nhiều tác phẩm của mình bằng các hình ảnh con người

A. sai (the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized that they did not share in the concerns of the other: các nhiệm vụ sản xuất và trang trí thường được phân chia giữa họ, nhưng không có nhóm nào quá chuyên biệt đến mức không chia sẻ mối quan tâm với nhóm còn lại)

B. đúng (There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy: Cũng có một số lượng các nồi sơn và bức tượng nhỏ có chất lượng kém được sản xuất theo số lượng dễ dàng)

C. đúng (its distinctive color and luster were the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s temperature ...: màu sắc và độ bóng đặc biệt của nó là kết quả của sự điều chỉnh nhiệt độ lò nung khéo léo...)

D. đúng (Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.: cách trang trí hình người A-ten da đỏ và da đen nhấn mạnh hình ảnh con người hơn là các hình ảnh con vật được lựa chọn vào thời kì năm 630-530 trước công nguyên)

Câu 3:

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 28 to 34.

  Because the low latitudes of the Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than the latitudes near the poles, and because the nature of heat is to expand and move, heat is transported from the tropics to the middle and high latitudes. Some of this heat is moved by winds and some by ocean currents, and some gets stored in the atmosphere in the form of latent heat. The term “latent heat” refers to the energy that has to be used to convert liquid water to water vapor. We know that if we warm a pan of water on a stove, it will evaporate, or turn into vapor, faster than if it is allowed to sit at room temperature. We also know that if we hang wet clothes outside in the summertime, they will dry faster than in winter, when the temperature is lower. The energy used in both cases to change liquid water to water vapor is supplied by heat - supplied by the stove in the first case and by the Sun in the latter case. This energy is not lost. It is stored as vapor in the atmosphere as latent heat. Eventually, the water stored as vapor in the atmosphere will condense to liquid again, and the energy will be released to the atmosphere.

          In the atmosphere, a large portion of the Sun’s incoming energy is used to evaporate water, primarily in the tropical oceans. Scientists have tried to quantify this proportion of the Sun’s energy. By analyzing temperature, water vapor, and wind data around the globe, they have estimated the quantity to be about 90 watts per square meter, or nearly 30 percent of the Sun’s energy. Once this latent heat is stored within the atmosphere, it can be transported, primarily to higher latitudes, by prevailing, large - scale winds. Or it can be transported vertically to higher levels in the atmosphere, where it forms clouds and subsequent storms, which then release the energy back to the atmosphere.
