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

For a century before the Erie Canal was built, there was much discussion among the general population of the Northeast as to the need for connecting the waterways of the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. A project of such monumental proportions was not going to be undertaken and completed without a supreme amount of effort.

The man who was instrumental in accomplishing the feat that was the Erie Canal was Dewitt Clinton. As early as 1812, he was in the nation's capital petitioning the federal government for financial assistance on the project, emphasizing what a boon to the economy of the country the canal would be; his efforts with the federal government, however, were not successful.

In 1816, Clinton asked the New York State Legislature for the funding for the canal, and this time he did succeed. A canal commission was instituted, and Clinton himself was made head of it. One year later, Clinton was elected governor of the state, and soon after, construction of the canal was started.

The canal took eight years to complete, and Clinton was on the first barge to travel the length of the canal, the Seneca Chief, which departed from Buffalo on October 26, 1825, and arrived in New York City on November

4. Because of the success of the Erie Canal, numerous other canals were built in other parts of the country.

Dịch bài đọc:

Trong một thế kỷ trước khi kênh đào Erie được xây dựng, đã có nhiều cuộc thảo luận giữa các dân cư nói chung của vùng Đông Bắc về nhu cầu kết nối các tuyến đường thủy của Great Lakes với Đại Tây Dương. Một dự án đồ sộ như vậy sẽ không được thực hiện và hoàn thành mà không có một nỗ lực tối đa. Người đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc thực hiện thành công kênh đào Erie là Dewitt Clinton. Ngay từ năm 1812, ông đã có mặt ở thủ đô của quốc gia yêu cầu chính phủ liên bang hỗ trợ tài chính cho dự án, nhấn mạnh đến lợi ích của nền kinh tế nước này mà kênh đào có thể đem đến; tuy nhiên, những nỗ lực của ông với chính phủ liên bang, đã không thành công.

Năm 1816, Clinton yêu cầu Cơ quan Lập pháp Bang New York tài trợ cho kênh đào, và lần này ông đã thành công. Một ủy ban kênh đào đã được thành lập, và chính Clinton đã được làm chủ. Một năm sau, Clinton được bầu làm thống đốc của bang, và ngay sau đó, việc xây dựng kênh đào đã được bắt đầu.

Kênh đào này mất 8 năm để hoàn thành, và Clinton đã ở trên chiếc sà lan đầu tiên đi dọc theo chiều dài của con kênh, the Seneca Chief, khởi hành từ Buffalo vào ngày 26 tháng 10 năm 1825 và đến thành phố New York vào ngày  4 tháng 11. Vì thành công của kênh đào Erie, nhiều kênh khác được xây dựng  ở các vùng khác  của đất nước.

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

Unlike these fish, which are actually extinct, the coelacanth is a type of fish that was believed to be extinct. However, an unexpected twentieth- century rediscovery of living coelacanths has brought about a reassessment of the status of the prehistoric sea creature that was believed to have long since disappeared from the Earth. From fossil remains of the coelacanth, paleontologists have determined that the coelacanth was in existence around 350 million years ago, during the Paleozoic Era, more than 100 million years before the first dinosaurs arrived on the Earth. The most recent fossilized coelacanths date from around 70 million years ago, near the end of the age of dinosaurs. Because no fossilized remnants of coelacanth was believed to have died out around the same time as the dinosaurs.

The prehistoric coelacanth studied by paleontologists had distinctive characteristics that differentiated it from other fish. It was named for its hollow spine and was known to have been a powerful carnivore because of its many sharp teeth and a special joint in the skull that allowed the ferocious teeth to move in coordination with the lower jaw. It also had a pair of fins with unusual bony and muscular development that allowed the coelacanth to dart around the ocean floor. These fins also enable the coelacanth to search out prey trying to hide on the ocean bottom.

In 1938, a living specimen of the coelacanth was discovered in the catch of a fishing boat off the coast of South Africa, and since then numerous other examples of the coelacanth have been found in the waters of the Indian Ocean. This modern version of the coelacanth is not exactly the same as its prehistoric cousin. Today's coelacanth is larger than its prehistoric relative, measuring up to six feet in length and weighing up to 150 pounds. However, the modern version of the coelacanth still possesses the characteristic hollow spine and distinctive fins with their unusual bony and muscular structure.
