In Africa, people celebrate with joy the birth of a new baby. The Pygmies would sing a birth-song to the child. In Kenya, the mother takes the baby strapped to her back into the thorn enclosure where the cattle are kept. There, her husband and the village elders wait to give the child his or her name. In West Africa, after the baby is eight days old, the mother takes the baby for its first walk in the big, wide world, and friends and family are invited to meet the new baby. In various African nations, they hold initiation ceremonies for groups of children instead of birthdays. When children reach a certain designated age, they learn the laws, beliefs, customs, songs and dances of their tribes. Some African tribes consider that children from nine to twelve are ready to be initiated into the grown up world. They may have to carry out several tests. Maasai boys around thirteen years old to seventeen undergo a two-stage initiation. The first stage lasts about three months. The boys leave their parents' homes, paint their bodies white, and are taught how to become young warriors. At the end of this stage, they have their heads shaved and they are also circumcised. At the second stage, the young warriors grow their hair long and live in a camp called a “manyatta” where they practice hunting the wild animals that might attack the Maasai herds. This stage may last a few years. When they are ready, they will marry and become owners of large cattle herds like their fathers. The girls are initiated when they are fourteen or fifteen. They are taught by the older women about the duties of marriage and how to care for babies. Soon after that they are married and lead a life similar to that of their mothers. Question 31: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Celebrations in Africa. B. Birthday ceremonies for children in Africa. C. Traditions of Maasai people when having a new baby. D. Activities in a birth celebration. Question 32: Where do people in Kenya give the name to the child? Trang 2/5

Children are initiated for a mature life in the presence of their friends and family. D. Children have to overcome a few trials to enter the grown-up world. Question 34: The word "undergo" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___. A. commence B. experience C. participate in D. explore Question 35: What does the word "they" in paragraph 3 refer to? A. the Maasai herds B. the wild animals C. the young warriors D. the cattle owners 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 42. What unusual or unique biological traits led to the remarkable diversification and unchallenged success of the ants for ever 50 million years? The answer appears to be that they were the first group of predatory eusocial insects that both lived and foraged primarily in the soil and in rotting vegetation on the ground. Eusocial refers to a form of insect society characterized by specialization of tasks and cooperative care of the young; it is rare among insects. Richly organized colonies of the land made possibly by eusociality enjoy several key advantages over solitary individuals. Under most circumstances groups of workers are better able to forage for food and defend the net, because they can switch from individual to group response and back again swiftly and according to need. When a food object or nest intruder is too large for one individual to handle, nestmates can be quickly assembled by alarm or recruitment signals. Equally important is the fact that the execution of multiple-step tasks is accomplished in a series-parallel sequence. That is, individual ants can specialize in particular steps, moving from one object (such as a larva to be fed) to another (a second larva to be fed). They do not need to carry each task to completion from start to finish – for example, to check the lavar first, then collect the food, then feed the larva. Hence, if each link in the chain has many workers in attendance, a sense directed at any particular object is less likely to fail. Moreover, ants specializing in particular labor categories typically constitute a caste specialized by age or body form or both. There has been some documentation of the superiority in performance and net energetic yield of various castes for their modal tasks, although careful experimental studies are still relatively few. What makes ants unusual in the company of eusocial insects is the fact that they are the only eusocial predators (predators are animals that capture and feed on other animals) occupying the soil and ground litter. The eusocial termites live in the same places as ants and also have wingless workers, but they feed almost exclusively on dead vegetation. (Adapted from TOEFL Reading) Question 36: Which of the following questions does the passage primarily answer? A. How do individual ants adapt to specialize tasks? B. What are the differences between social and solitary insects? C. Why are ants predators? D. Why have ants been able to thrive for such a long time? Question 37: The word “unique” in paragraph 1 is closest meaning to ___. A. Inherited B. habitual C. singular D. natural Question 38: The word “rotting” in paragraph 1 is closet in meaning to ___. A. Decaying B. collected C. expanding D. cultivated Question 39: According to the passage, one thing eusocial insects can do is rapidly switch from ___. A. One type of food consumption to another B. One environment to another C. A solitary task to a group task D. A defensive to an offensive stance Question 40: The task of feeding larvae is mentioned in the passage to demonstrate ___. A.
