correct answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.
European Union, almost 100 million citizens of all ages invest their time, talents and money to make
a positive contribution to their community by volunteering in civil society organizations, youth clubs,
hospitals, schools, in sport clubs, etc. For the Commission, volunteering is an active expression of civic
participation which strengthens common European values such as solidarity and social cohesion.
Volunteering also provides important learning opportunities, because involvement in voluntary
activities can provide people with new skills and competences that can even improve their employability.
This is especially important at this time of economic crisis. Volunteering plays an important role in sectors
as varied and diverse as education, youth, culture, sport, environment, health, social care, consumer
protection, humanitarian aid, development policy, research, equal opportunities and external relations.
Objectives of the Year:
1. To create an enabling and facilitating environment for volunteering in the EU;
2. To empower volunteer organizations and improve the quality of volunteering;
3. To reward and recognize volunteering activities; and
4. To raise awareness of the value and importance of volunteering.
The Commission expects that the European Year of Volunteering will lead to an Increase In volunteering
and to greater awareness of its added value, and that it will highlight the link between voluntary
engagement at local level and its significance in the wider European context.

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 34 to 40.
Nature has always provided a stimulus for inventive minds. Early flying machines clearly were an
attempt to emulate the freedom of birds. Architects and engineers have often consciously modeled
buildings on forms found in nature. A more recent example of the inspiration given by nature is the
invention of Velcro. The inventor of this now common fastening device noticed that small burrs attached to
his dog's coat grasped the hairs by means of tiny hooks. This led him to invent a synthetic fabric whose
surfaces mimic the clasping properties of this natural seedpod.
Animals and plants have evolved solutions to the kinds of problems that often interest engineers and
designers. Much current research in material science is concerned with actively examining the natural

Trang 4/4
world, especially at the molecular level, for inspiration to develop materials with novel properties. This
relatively new field of study is sometimes known as biomimetics, since it consciously attempts to mimic
nature.
Researchers have investigated several interesting areas. For example, they have studied how the
molecular structure of antler bone contributes to its amazing toughness, how the skin structure of a worm
contributes to its ability to crawl, how the sea cucumber softens its skeleton and changes shape so that it
can squeeze through tiny gaps in rocks, or what gives wood its high resistance to impact. These
investigations have led to several breakthroughs in the development of composite materials with
remarkable properties.
Predictions for future inventions that may be developed from these lines of research include so-called
smart structures that design and repair themselves in a similar way to a variety of processes in the natural
world. For example, engineers have envisaged bridges that would detect areas heavily stressed by vehicle
movement or wind. The bridge structure would then automatically add or move material to the weak areas
until the stress is reduced. The same principle might be used to repair damaged buildings. Other new
materials that have been imagined are substances that would copy photosynthesis in green plants in order to
create new energy sources. The potential impact of biomimetic research is so great that the twenty-first
century may come to be known as the "Age of Materials."
Question 34: The passage is primarily concerned with _________.
A. future research into the uses of Velcro B. the effect of the Age of Materials on nature
C. the development of products based on nature D. problems that preoccupy designers and engineers
Question 35: The word “emulate” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. stimulate B. captivate C. imitate D. activate
Question 36: Which of the following is true about Velcro?
A. It was first used to remove dog hair from the owner’s coat.
B. It exemplifies how a natural structure inspired a useful invention.
C. The inventor of Velcro was very famous before his invention.
D. It has set a trend for tiny hooklike structures in synthetic fabric.
Question 37:The word “novel” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. unique B. familiar C. fictitious D. legendary
Question 38:Which of the following does the word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. sea cucumber B. skeleton C. shape D. worm
Question 39: According to the passage, what do investigations in biomimetics suggest?
A. Biomimetics is not promising.
B. Biomimetics may lead to the development of new creatures.
C. Biomimetics may lead to useful inventions.
D. Biomimetics has provided the new material for smart structures.
Question 40: According to the passage, which of the following would NOT be a useful biomimetic
product?
A. Tomatoes mimicking the structures that give sea cucumbers the ability to squeeze through cracks
B. Bulletproof jackets mimicking the structures that give wood its resistance to impact
C. Glass in windshields mimicking the structures that give antler bone its toughness
D. Cables mimicking the structures that give spiderwebs their flexibility and tensile strength
