 Instructors in American colleges and universities use many 
different teaching methods. Some instructor give assignments 
every day. They grade homework. Students in their classes have 
to take many quizzes, a midterm exam, and a final text. Others 
instructors pass only written assignments. Some teachers always 
follow a course outline and usually use a text book. Other send 
students to the library for assignments. 
 The atmosphere in some classrooms is very former. Students 
call them instructors 'Professor Smith,' 'Mrs. Jones,' and so on. 
Some teachers wear business clothes and make lectures. Other 
classrooms have an informal atmosphere. Students and teachers 
discussed their ideas. Instructors dress informally, and students 
call them by their first names. American teachers are not like in 
their teaching styles.

PART C. READING 
I. Read the passage of five paragraphs (A, B, C, D, and E) and do the tasks that follow. 
A. Besides the earth’s oceans, glacier ice is the largest source of water on earth. A glacier is a 
massive stream or sheet of ice that moves underneath itself under the influence of gravity. Some 
glaciers travel down mountains or valleys, while others spread across a large expanse of land. Heavily 
glaciated regions such as Greenland and Antarctica are called continental glaciers. These two ice 
sheets encompass more than 95% of the earth’s glacial ice. The Greenland ice sheet is almost 
10,000 feet thick in some areas, and the weight of this glacier is so heavy that much of the region has 
been depressed below sea level. Smaller glaciers that occur at higher elevations are called alpine or 
valley glaciers. Another way of classifying glaciers is in terms of their internal temperature. In 
temperate glaciers, the ice within the glacier is near its melting point. Polar glaciers, in contrast, 
always maintain temperatures far below melting. 
B. The majority of the earth’s glaciers are located near the poles, though glaciers exist on all 
continents, including Africa and Oceania. The reason glaciers are generally formed in high alpine 
regions is that they require cold temperature throughout the year, in these areas where there is 
little opportunity for summer ablation (loss of mass), snow changes to compacted firm and then 
crystallized ice. During periods in which melting and evaporation exceed the amount of snowfall, 
glaciers will retreat rather than progress. While glaciers rely heavily on snowfall, other climatic 
conditions including freezing rain, avalanches and wind, contribute to their growth. One year of below 
average precipitation can stunt the growth of a glacier tremendously. With the rare 7 exception of 
surging glaciers, a common glacier flows about 10 inches per day in the summer and 5 inches per day 
in the winter. The fastest glacial surge on record occurred in 1953, when the Kutiah Glacier in 
Pakistan grew more than 12 kilometers in three months. 
C. The weight and pressure of ice accumulation causes glacier movement. Glaciers move out 
from under themselves, via plastic deformation and basal slippage. First, the internal flow of ice 
crystals begins to spread outward and downward from the thickened snow pack also known as the 
zone of accumulation. Next, the ice along the ground surface begins to slip in the same direction. 
Seasonal thawing at the base of the glacier helps to facilitate this slippage. The middle of a glacier 
moves faster than the sides and bottom because there is no rock to cause friction. The upper part of a 
KỲ THI CHỌN HSG CẤP TRƯỜNG 2020-2021 – ĐỀ THI MÔN TIẾNG ANH 11 Trang 4/5 
glacier rides on the ice below. As a glacier moves it carves out a U-shaped valley to a riverbed, but 
with much steeper walls and flatter bottom. 
D. Besides the extraordinary rivers of ice, glacial erosion creates other unique physical features 
in the landscape such as horns, fjords, hanging valleys, and cirques. Most of these landforms 
do not become visible until after glaciers have receded. Many are created by moraines, which 
occur at the sides and front of a glacier. Moraines are formed when material is picked up along the 
way and deposited in a new location. When many alpine glaciers occur on the same mountain, these 
moraines can create a horn. The matter horn, in the Swiss Alps is one of the most famous horns. 
Fjords, which are very common in Norway, are coastal valleys that fill with ocean water during a 
glacial retreat. Hanging valleys occur when two or more glacial valleys intersect at varying elevations. 
It is common for waterfalls to connect the higher and lower hanging valleys, such as in 
Yosemite National Park. A cirque is a large bowl-shaped valley that forms at the front of a glacier. 
Cirques often have a lip on their down slope that is deep enough to hold small lakes when the ice 
melts away. 
E. Glacier movement and shape shifting typically occur over hundreds of years. While presently 
about 10% of the earth land is covered with glaciers, it is believed that during the last Ice Age glaciers 
covered approximately 32% of the earth’s surface. In the past century, most glaciers have been 
retreating rather flowing forward. It is unknown whether this glacial activity is due to human impact 
or natural causes, but by studying glacier movement, and comparing climate and agricultural 
profiles over hundreds of years, glaciologists can begin to understand environmental issues such as 
global warming.
