Many people consider that the pyramids were made or at least influenced by the nonearthly beings.
Another thing is that the pyramids' relationship to Pi and the triangular shape seem to
prove it that their builders were been helped in terms of guidance by extra-terrestrial
beings.
Still, at a closer by look we notice that the Egyptians used to a wheel as a measuring
device, so it wasn't not necessary for them to know about Pi, all they needed to know
was how to use a wheel to measure.
It is important to mention the fact that the ancient Egyptians were not familiar at all
with the notion of Pi.

Read the following extract from a magazine article and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on the separate
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
APPLES
Apples are grown in every state of the United States of America except Alaska and Hawaii,
but 85 percent are grown on the east coast. They develop their best qualities during autumn
because the combination of warm days and cold nights traps their sugars and makes their
flesh firm and crisp.
Each year, 2500 varieties are harvested, but only 100 are produced commercially; the others
are considered commercially 'unacceptable' because they are rough-skinned or irregular in
appearance. To taste one of these unique flavors, you must visit a harvest festival, a farmer's
market, a specialty grocer or an orchard.
The apple originated in the eastern Mediterranean, and spread quickly across Asia
and Europe. By the first century A.D. the Romans were planting apple trees in Britain. The
British colonists, in turn, brought apples to North America in the 1620's. Thousands of
varieties evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries, when colonial farmers planted apple
seeds instead of shoots, and discovered that the seed of an apple does not produce a tree of
the original variety. During this period the legendary Johnny Appleseed, born John Chapman in
1774, planted apple seeds in the new territories out West.
To keep apples at their peak for up to four weeks, you should refrigerate them in perforated
plastic bags in the vegetable drawer, where they'll continue to ripen. Apples will ripen ten
times faster at room temperature, quickly withering and turning mushy.

Read the following extract from a scientific article and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on the separate
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
RELATIONSHIPS IN NATURE

- Trang 4/5 -

Millions of species inhabit the Earth's ecosystems often sharing the same space and resources
requiring them to interact in a variety of ways. This interaction between two different living
organisms is called symbiosis and often plays a vital role in the ecosystem. The type of
symbiosis depends on the benefits derived from the relationship.
One classic example of a symbiotic relationship is between the clownfish and sea anemone.
The clownfish protects itself from predators by making its home among the poisonous tentacles
of the sea anemone. The brightly-colored clownfish attracts other fish looking for a meal. The
sea anemone catches these predators as they near the clownfish with its poisonous tentacles
and eats them. Both species benefit from their interaction resulting in a symbiotic relationship
called mutualism.
A more sophisticated form of mutualism can be found in the relationship between the Hazda,
an Indigenous tribe of Africa, and a bird called the Honeyguide. [I] These two species join
forces to harvest honey. [II] As its name suggests, the Honeyguide leads the tribesmen to the
location of beehives high in the tree tops by letting off a special call. [III] Once the beehive is
located, the Hazda use fire to smoke out the hive and calm the bees in order to collect the
honeycomb. [IV] Scraps of honeycomb fall from the tree and are eaten by the Honeyguide
birds. The result is a successful harvest for both man and bird. It's an interaction of each
species' specialized skills resulting in an interdependent partnership that most likely developed
over centuries.
Not all symbiosis is mutually beneficial and can be one-sided, advancing the survival of just
one of the participants while the other species neither benefits nor is harmed by the
interaction. Known as commensalism, it can be seen in the behavior of crustaceans, called
barnacles, which attach themselves to the skin of whales. They are then transported by the
whales to plankton-rich waters, where both species feast upon the rich supply of
microorganisms there.
A variety of symbiosis is necessary to keep ecosystems functioning and in balance.
A good case in point is nitrogen-fixing bacteria and plants. The bacteria use plants for a home
but at the same time convert nitrogen to a form that the plants need for survival. Plants are
fundamental for the ecosystem and its inhabitants, so this simple symbiosis is absolutely
needed.

B. The Hazda and the Honeyguide collaborate so as to reach a common goal.
C. More beneficial symbiotic relationships have been introduced to the ecosystem.
D. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria demonstrate how bacteria behave in an ecosystem.
Which of the following best summarises the extract?
A. Symbiosis primarily involves mutualism between species, as shown by the Hazda and the Honeyguide,
and commensalism is a rare and insignificant exception in the Earth's ecosystems.
B. Symbiosis includes relationships where both species benefit, like nitrogen-fixing bacteria and plants, or
where one gains nothing, but never where one species is harmed.
C. Symbiosis entails mutualism like the clownfish and the sea anemone, commensalism like the barnacles
and the whale, and is vital for maintaining balanced ecosystems worldwide.
D. Symbiosis encompasses two mutualism and one commensalism, and the relationships between species
are merely optional contributors to the functioning of ecosystems.
