Read the passage and choose the option that best answers the question or completes the sentence 
Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the 
tides. No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by 
the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The 
currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive 
sweep. 
The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant 
Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of 
the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the 
control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty 
minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day. 
And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies. The tidal 
movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. These are the 
highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At 
these times, the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is 
added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, 
and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the 
Sun, Moon, and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and 
Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference 
between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month.

A. The triangular arrangement of the Earth, Sun, and Moon 
B. The Earth’s movement around the Sun 
C. Seasonal changes in the weather 
D. The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon when nearly in line with the Earth

Read the passage and choose the best option to answer the question or complete the sentence 
below 
Over a period of time, many habitats change with respect to the types of plants and animals that 
live there. This change is known as succession 
Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they 
live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment 
by shielding the soil from the direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground surface becomes 
cooler and moisture, than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been 
changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the 
grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also build up the soil in the area; in addition, 
they attract animals that also enhance the shrubs. They are not able to shade out oak and hickory 
seedlings; however, they have found the forest floor suitable. These seedlings grow into large trees 
that eventually shade out the pines. 
Câu 51: What is the best title of this passage? 
A. The importance of weeds and grasses B. How environmental habitats change 
C. The success of oak and hickory D. Animal and plant habitat
