Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN AMERICAN AND CHINESE HUMANOID ROBOTS
Humanoid robots are gaining importance in today’s world, especially in the United States and
China. However, these two countries approach their development differently. In the United States,
companies focus heavily on advanced artificial intelligence (AI). They want robots to think and act
independently. For example, Boston Dynamics created Atlas, a robot that can jump, run, and even do
backflips. This shows how American engineers prioritize flexibility and smart software, making their
robots adaptable to challenging tasks.
In contrast, Chinese developers often concentrate on building strong and reliable hardware. Their
robots are designed with precise movements and durable materials. A good example is UBTECH’s
Walker, which can perform practical tasks like carrying objects or helping at home. Because of this
focus, Chinese robots are affordable and useful in everyday life, particularly in homes or factories.

Mã đề 1114 Page 3/6

 Funding also differs between the two nations. In the US, private companies and investors provide
money for robotics projects. This encourages new ideas, but it can be risky if funding stops. On the other
hand, China’s government supports its robotics industry with steady resources. While this ensures
progress, it may limit creative breakthroughs compared to the American approach.
The uses of humanoid robots reflect these priorities. American robots often appear in research
labs, entertainment, or healthcare, assisting people like elderly patients. Meanwhile, Chinese robots are
more common in manufacturing and service industries, where their strength and accuracy are valuable.
Despite their differences, both countries contribute greatly to robotics. The US leads in AI
innovation, while China excels in practical production. In the future, these strengths might combine. If
American robots improve their hardware and Chinese robots enhance their AI, a new era of advanced
humanoid robots could begin, benefiting people worldwide.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Named for an architectural term—the keystone is the topmost stone in an arch that holds the entire
structure together—keystone species are defined as species that have a disproportionately large effect on
the communities in which they occur. They help maintain biodiversity and there are no other species in
the ecosystem that can serve their same function. Without them, their ecosystem would change
dramatically or could even cease to exist.
[I] The first keystone species ever identified was the predatory purple sea star (Pisaster
ochraceus), found along the rocky coasts of Makah Bay in Washington State. [II] Without them, mussels
multiplied, displacing algae, barnacles, and snails, which led to the collapse of ecosystem diversity. [III]
This demonstrated the sea star’s crucial ecological role. Building on Paine’s research, Jim Estes
discovered in the 1970s that sea otters in Alaska controlled sea urchin populations. Without otters, sea
urchins overran kelp forests, disrupting habitats and food sources for many species. [IV]
While keystone species are most likely to be predators, the researchers agreed that other species
can also be considered keystones given the strength of their interactions with their environments. These
include certain ecosystem engineers, such as beavers and elephants.

Mã đề 1114 Page 4/6

 Nonetheless, disagreement remains over which species qualify as keystones. The surest way to
identify a keystone species is through an experiment that eliminates it from its environment. That is
like Paine throwing coastal sea stars back into the sea. But it is not always possible-or ethical-to
completely remove an animal from its environment. So scientists rely on identifying keystone species by
their traits, such as what they eat, the habitats they create, and their relationships with other species.
Context matters, too. After all, a keystone species in one context might not be a keystone in
another. Subsequent experiments with Paine’s purple starfish, for example, found that their absence has
much less influence in other environments, such as more sheltered coastal areas with fewer mussels, than
they do in exposed coastal ecosystems.

Question 31: The word cease in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by.
A. initiate B. transform C. expand D. stop
Question 32: Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit?
In 1963, Paine removed sea stars from one shoreline while leaving another untouched.
A. [II] B. [IV] C. [III] D. [I]
Question 33: What does the word they in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. traits B. keystone species C. scientists D. environments
Question 34: Which of the following is NOT an example of a keystone species mentioned in the
passage?
A. Sea otter B. Elephant C. Gray wolf D. Purple sea star
Question 35: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Unless a species is withdrawn from its environment, its influence on biodiversity cannot be fully
assessed.
B. It is important that researchers conduct elimination experiments to ascertain a species' ecological
role with feasibility.
C. The experimental removal of keystone species serves as the most definitive means of identification.
D. Only by conducting elimination experiments can researchers be certain of a species’ ecological role.
Question 36: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 4?
A. Scientists often conduct experiments to determine the role of various species in their ecosystems.
B. Identifying keystone species can be done by examining their ecological roles and interactions with
other species.
C. Removing a species from its environment is the only way to confirm its importance in the
ecosystem.
D. Keystone species are always easy to identify through their physical characteristics and population
dynamics.
Question 37: The word exposed in paragraph 5 is OPPOSITE in meaning to.
A. altered B. limited C. regulated D. protected
Question 38: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The purple sea star's removal from its habitat caused a significant loss of biodiversity in the
ecosystem.
B. Beavers and elephants are classified as keystone species due to their role as primary consumers.
C. Keystone species are exclusively defined as predators within their environments.
D. The first species identified as a keystone was the sea otter, known for its influence on kelp forests.
Question 39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Organisms that hunt others qualify as keystone species regardless of their rank in the food
hierarchy.
B. The designation of a species as a keystone may change based on its surrounding environment.
C. The impact of removing a keystone species is consistent across all environments.
D. Keystone species are solely identified by their predatory behavior as their eradication causes drastic
changes.
Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. The classification of keystone species is straightforward and primarily based on their predatory
behaviors, with little regard for the ecological context in which they exist.
B. The role of keystone species is universally acknowledged within the scientific community, as their
removal invariably leads to ecosystem collapse, regardless of environmental context.

Mã đề 1114 Page 5/6

 C. While keystone species are pivotal in maintaining ecosystem stability and biodiversity, identifying
them poses challenges due to variances in ecological interactions and the need for context-specific
evaluations.
D. Keystone species are primarily recognized as top predators, but other organisms can also be
classified as keystones, illustrating the diversity in ecological roles across different environments.
