Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,C, or D on your answer sheet toindicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced. A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small particles that are in constant motion.
A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observations, helps to predict events that have not as yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or rejected.
Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."
Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated. These possible solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.
Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A. A good scientist needs to be creative.
B. It is better to revise a hypothesis than to reject it.
C. Theories are simply imaginary models of past events.
D. A scientist's most difficult task is testing hypotheses.

Câu nào sau đây được ủng hộ bởi đoạn văn?
A. Một nhà khoa học giỏi cần phải sáng tạo. => không có thông tin (chỉ đề cập: khoa học thì cần tưởng tượng)
B. Tốt hơn là bạn nên sửa đổi một giả thuyết hơn là bác bỏ nó. => không có thông tin
C. Các lý thuyết chỉ đơn giản là mô hình tưởng tượng về các sự kiện trong quá khứ. => đoạn 1 nói lý thuyết thường liên quan đến mô hình này, không phải lý thuyết là mô hình
