Giải bởi Vietjack
Chọn đáp án C
Như đã đề cập ở đoạn 2, loài nào sau đây trở về nước ít hoàn toàn nhất?
A. Cá voi
B. lợn biển
C. rùa
D. cá nược
=> Theo thông tin trong đoạn 2:
“Turtles went back to the sea a very long time ago and, like all vertebrate returnees to the water, they breathe air. However, they are, in one respect, less fully given back to the water than whales or dugongs, for turtles still lay their eggs on beaches.”
(Rùa đã quay trở lại biển từ rất lâu trước đây và giống như tất cả các động vật có xương sống trở về nước, chúng hít thở không khí. Tuy nhiên, ở một khía cạnh nào đó, chúng trở về nước ít hoàn toàn hơn so với cá voi hoặc cá nược, vì rùa vẫn đẻ trứng trên các bãi biển.)
=> Như vậy, rùa là loài trở về nước ít hoàn toàn nhất.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 37.
Earthquakes are destructive events in nature. The damage depends on the size or magnitude of the quake. There have never been so many people living in cities in quake zones, and so the worse the damage can be from a big quake, bringing fires, tsunamis, and the loss of life, property, and maybe an entire city.
We understand how earthquakes happen but not exactly where or when they will occur. Until recently, quakes seemed to occur at random. In Japan, government research is now showing that quakes can be predicted. At the Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Koshun Yamaoka says earthquakes do follow a pattern—pressure builds in a zone and must be released. But a colleague, Naoyuki Kato, adds that laboratory experiments indicate that a fault slips a little before it breaks. If this is true, predictions can be made based on the detection of slips.
Research in the U.S. may support Kato’s theory. In Parkfield, California earthquakes occur about every 22 years on the San Andreas fault. In the 1980s, scientists drilled into the fault and set up equipment to record activity to look for warning signs. When an earthquake hit again, it was years off schedule. At first the event seemed random but scientists drilled deeper. By 2005 they reached the bottom of the fault, two miles down, and found something. Data from two quakes reported in 2008 show there were two “slips’—places where the plates widened—before the fault line broke and the quakes occurred.
We are learning more about these destructive events every day. In the future we may be able to track earthquakes and design an early-warning system. So if the next great earthquake does happen in Tokai, about 100 miles southwest of Tokyo, as some scientists think, the citizens of Tokai may have advance warning.
