a number of people
few people
a few of people

Đáp án: B
Giải thích:
Câu trên bắt đầu bằng “While” (trong khi mà), do vậy nó diễn đạt 2 vế mang nghĩa trái ngược nhau.
Chúng ta thấy mệnh đề “While southern California is densely populated…(Trong khi ở phía Nam California dân số đông đúc…) mang nghĩa khẳng định
→ Mệnh đề còn lại phải mang nghĩa phủ định.
Xét các đáp án:
A. a number of + danh từ đếm được số nhiều: nhiều, một số
Loại vì thiếu “of” và không phù hợp về nghĩa
B. few + danh từ đếm được số nhiều: hầu như không, rất ít
Đúng vì mang nét nghĩa phủ định
C. a few + danh từ đếm được số nhiều: một vài
Loại vì không mang nét nghĩa phủ định
D. many + danh từ đếm được số nhiều: nhiều
Loại vì không mang nét nghĩa phủ định
Dịch: Trong khi miền Nam California có mật độ dân số đông đúc thì phía bắc của tiểu bang lại có rất ít người sống.

We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates.

The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced work; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The forest from which Man takes his timber is the tallest and most impressive plant community on Earth. In terms of Man’s brief life, it appears permanent and unchanging, save for the season growth and fall of the leaves, but to the forester, it represents the climax of a long succession of events.
No wooded landscape we see today has been forest for all time. Plants have minimum requirements of temperature and moisture and, in ages past, virtually every part of Earth’s surface has, at some time, been either too dry or too cool for plants to survive.
However, as soon as climatic conditions change in favor of plant life, a fascinating sequence of changes, called a primary succession, occurs first to colonize the barren land and the lichen surviving on bare rock. Slowly, the acids produced by these organisms crack the rock’s surface, plants debris accumulate and mosses establish shallow root-holes. Ferns may allow and, with short grasses and shrubs, gradually form a covering of plant life. Roots broke even deeper into the developing soil and eventually large shrubs give way to the first trees. These grow rapidly, cutting off sunlight from the smaller plants, and soon establish complete domination - closing their ranks and forming a climax community which may endure for thousands of years. Yet even this community is not everlasting. Fire may destroy it outright and settlers may cut it down to gain land for pasture or cultivations. If the land is then abandoned, a secondary succession will take over, developing much faster on the more hospitable soil. Shrubs and trees are among the early invaders, their seeds carried by the wind, by birds and lodged in the coat of mammals.
For as long as it stands and strives, the forest is a vast machine storing energy and the many elements essential for life.
Why is a “secondary succession” quicker?
The ground is more suitable.
There’s more space for fewer plants.
It is supported by the forest
Birds and animals bring new seeds.
Đáp án là A.
secondary succession = The ground is more suitable: đất phù hợp hơn

permanent : vĩnh cửu. C. Because our lives are comparatively short. (Bởi vì cuộc sống của chúng tôi là tương đối ngắn.)

The forest from which Man takes his timber is the tallest and most impressive plant community on Earth. In terms of Man’s brief life, it appears permanent and unchanging, save for the season growth and fall of the leaves, but to the forester, it represents the climax of a long succession of events.
No wooded landscape we see today has been forest for all time. Plants have minimum requirements of temperature and moisture and, in ages past, virtually every part of Earth’s surface has, at some time, been either too dry or too cool for plants to survive.
However, as soon as climatic conditions change in favor of plant life, a fascinating sequence of changes, called a primary succession, occurs first to colonize the barren land and the lichen surviving on bare rock. Slowly, the acids produced by these organisms crack the rock’s surface, plants debris accumulate and mosses establish shallow root-holes. Ferns may allow and, with short grasses and shrubs, gradually form a covering of plant life. Roots broke even deeper into the developing soil and eventually large shrubs give way to the first trees. These grow rapidly, cutting off sunlight from the smaller plants, and soon establish complete domination - closing their ranks and forming a climax community which may endure for thousands of years. Yet even this community is not everlasting. Fire may destroy it outright and settlers may cut it down to gain land for pasture or cultivations. If the land is then abandoned, a secondary succession will take over, developing much faster on the more hospitable soil. Shrubs and trees are among the early invaders, their seeds carried by the wind, by birds and lodged in the coat of mammals.
For as long as it stands and strives, the forest is a vast machine storing energy and the many elements essential for life.
In a “primary succession”, what makes it possible for mosses to take root?
The effect of lichens.
The amount of sunlight.
The amount of moisture.
The type of rock.
