II. READING


Part 1: Read the following passages carefully, then choose the ONE best answer to each question

Passage 1:

At the age of sixty-five, Laura Ingalls Wilder began writing a series of novels for young people based on her early experiences on the American frontier(linh vuc) . Born in the state of Wiscosin in 1867, she and her family were rugged (khó nhọc) pioneers(người đi đầu) . Seeking(theo đuổi ) better farm land, they went by covered wagon(xe ngựa) to Missouri in 1869, then on to Kansas the next year, returning to Wisconsin in 1871, and traveling on to Minnesota and Lowa before settling(bố trí) permanently(cố định) in South Dakota in 1879. Because of this continuing moving, Wilder's early education took place sporadically(không thương xuyên) in a succession of one-room schools. From age thirteen to sixteen she attended school more regularly although she never graduated.

At the age of eighteen, she married Almanzo James Wilder. They bought a small farm in the Ozarks, where they remained for the rest of their lives. Their only daughter, Rose, who had become a nationally known journalist, encouraged her mother to write. Serving as agent and editor, Rose negotiated(đàm phán thương lượng) with Harper's to publish her mother's first book, Little House on the Big Woods. Seven more books followed, each chronicling her early life on the plains. Written from the perspective(triển vọng, tiền đồ) of a child, they have remained popular with young readers from many nations. Twenty years after her death in 1957, more than 20 million copies had been sold, and they had been translated into fourteen languages. In 1974, a weekly television series, "Little House on the Prairie ", was produced based on the stories from the Wilder books.

Passage 2:

As trees grow old they add a new ring for each year, this discovery, it seems, was first made by Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian painter and scientist. It took a long time, however, before the serious study of tree rings started; this was done in Arizona by Andrew Ellicott Douglas.

Douglas developed a simple technique for dating trees called cross-dating and for a period of over twenty years continued the study of tree rings. He spent much of his time in logging camps near Flagstaff.

The Douglas method has been used by many scientists. Some of them used it to examine logs in Indian pueblo ruins; they were able to date the buildings right back to the tenth century. Others used it to date the world's oldest living trees, the bristlecone pines.
