29/08/2024 2,154Read 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.
Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know. Although the whale is very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water. Whales have tails that end like flippers. With just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any friction that can slow the whale down. A whale’s breathing hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe without having to completely push its head out of the water. Whales are protected from the cold seawater by body fat that is called blubber.
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviours, they are more similar to humans than fish.
They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle them.
When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One such case occurred in 1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had begun to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great danger to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe through. Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures. They cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These holes would also serve as guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.
Which of the following best describes the main idea of this passage?
A. Some remarkable similarities of whales to humans.
B. Whales as the only animals to live in warm water.
C. Whales as the largest, gentlest but vulnerable creatures.
D. Successful attempts to rescue whales all over the world.

Dịch nghĩa: “Cá voi là loài động vật lớn nhất trên thế giới và là những sinh vật hiền lành nhất mà chúng ta biết. Mặc dù cá voi rất to lớn, nhưng kích thước của nó không hề cản trở gì khi chúng ở dưới nước. Cá voi có đuôi kết thúc như những chiếc vây. Chỉ với một cái đẩy nhẹ, nó có thể tự đẩy mình về phía trước. Da của cá voi mịn đến mức không tạo ra bất kỳ sự ma sát nào có thể làm chậm tốc độ của nó. Lỗ thở của cá voi nằm trên đỉnh đầu, vì vậy nó có thể thở mà không cần phải hoàn toàn nhô đầu ra khỏi nước. Cá voi được bảo vệ khỏi nước biển lạnh bởi lớp mỡ cơ thể được gọi là mỡ cá voi.
Cá voi sống trong đại dương nhưng, về hành vi, chúng giống con người hơn là cá. Chúng sống theo nhóm gia đình và thậm chí còn di chuyển theo nhóm khi phải di cư từ vùng nước lạnh sang vùng nước ấm hơn. Cá con ở lại với bố mẹ trong suốt mười lăm năm. Cá voi nổi tiếng là không bỏ rơi các thành viên bị bệnh hoặc bị thương; thay vào đó, chúng chăm sóc họ.
Khi cá voi gặp nguy hiểm, có những người sẵn sàng làm mọi cách để giúp đỡ chúng. Một trường hợp như vậy đã xảy ra vào năm 1988, khi ba con cá voi trẻ bị mắc kẹt trong biển. Đó là gần mùa đông và biển đã bắt đầu đóng băng. Cá voi là loài động vật có vú cần oxy từ không khí, vì vậy băng đá là một mối nguy lớn đối với chúng. Tất cả những gì chúng có lúc đó là một lỗ nhỏ trên băng để thở. Tình nguyện viên từ khắp nơi nhanh chóng đến giúp những sinh vật này. Họ cắt những lỗ băng để tạo thêm lỗ thở cho cá voi. Những lỗ này cũng sẽ đóng vai trò là hướng dẫn cho cá voi để chúng có thể bơi đến vùng nước ấm hơn.”
