With the invention of the microcomputer, a computer can now be purchased for as little as a few hundred dollars. Taking advantage of this situation, quite a few secondary schools, even kindergartens, have already begun to use computers. Many other schools, however, are hesitating to introduce computer science onto the school curriculum. They wonder if students, especially younger ones, will be able to use these complicated machines. They also fear that they may only be suitable for youngsters who are good at math. “What about slower students?” they ask. Will computers make learning even more difficult for them? Then again, will learning with a computer be boring?

KÈ

Schools that are actually using computers are discovering answer to these questions. Surprisingly, students who are only 6 or 7 years of age are taking to the machines like fish to water. They are not only finding them easy but they are also finding them fascinating.

The Problem of Garbage

Every one of us produces garbage of one kind or another. Some of the garbage is thrown into the sea. Some is burnt or buried under the ground. Every year we need to find about 800,000 cubic meters of empty land just to bury the garbage. This is the same as filling one football stadium with garbage up to 20 meters high!

KÈ

What can we do about these problems? Well, one very easy answer is to produce less garbage. We can recycle things made from glass and paper as well as tin cans. People can refuse to take the plastic bags from the shops and supermarkets by bringing with them their own bags or baskets when they go shopping. The government should tell people about the dangers of the pollution caused by garbage. Education is perhaps the most important factor for keeping our environment healthy for the future. __________________

In Western countries, electricity, gas and water are not luxuries but necessities. In developing countries, people even try to reduce using electricity, gas and water. Producers realize that products must not only work effectively but also save money. In a household, lighting often accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of electricity bills. That is why some inventors from the Phillips and Company in Holland invented energy saving bulbs called compact bulbs. They are a good replacement for the 100-watt light bulbs which are often used. These new products use only a quarter of the electricity of standard bulbs and last eight times longer. Ultimately, the innovation like compact bulbs will save money as well as conserve the Earth’s resources.

There is too much carbon dioxide in the air. When oil, gas and coal are burnt, they create a large amount of carbon dioxide. We send around five million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. This amount will double in fifty years. This carbon dioxide lets sunlight enter the Earth’s atmosphere and heat the Earth. However, it doesn’t let much heat leave the atmosphere and enter space. It is like a blanket. That is, the heat can pass from the sun through blanket to warm the Earth, but the heat stays there and cannot escape through the blanket again. Scientist call this the greenhouse effect. ________________

The more waste we produce, the more disposal trucks, labor and dump space are needed. All these cost money.

On Christmas Eve everything is rush and bustle. Offices and public buildings close at one o’clock, but the shops stay open late. Most big cities, especially London, are decorated with colored lights across the streets and enormous Christmas trees. The main line stations, trains and buses are crowded with people traveling from all parts of the country to be at home for Christmas.

DẠ

In the homes there is a great air of expectation. The children are also decorating the house with colored lights. Christmas cards – with the words “A Merry Christmas to You” or “Wishing You a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year”, or “With the Compliments of the Season”, etc. – are arranged on shelves, tables and sometimes hung round the walls. Meanwhile the housewife is probably busy in the kitchen getting things ready for the next day’s dinner. The Christmas bird, nowadays usually a turkey, is being prepared, the pudding is inspected and the cake is got out of its tin. 23. The shops close at one o’clock on Christmas Eve.

Switzerland is a small country in central Europe. The total land area of this tiny country is only 15,941 square miles (41,288 square kilometers). The estimated population of this European nation in 1984 was 6,392,000.

KÈ

Because this nation is so small, you might think that there is only one nation language. However, you would be incorrect because there are three official languages. They are German, French and Italian. As a result, Switzerland has three official names: Schweiz (in German), Suisse (in French), and Svizzera (in Italian). All national laws are published in these languages.

DẠ

The three official languages plus Romansch are the four national languages spoken in Switzerland. If you look on Swiss coins or postage stamps, you will not find the name for this country in any of the national languages. Instead, you will find the word “Helvetia”, the Latin name for this country. 23. German, French and Italian are three official languages in Switzerland.

Nowadays, with the help of Communication Technology, it is much easier for us to study or improve our knowledge. One way to do that is online learning in which people from one country can attend a college or university in another. Online learning is very convenient and cheap because we just stay at home and use a computer. Many universities in the world have been offering online classes for a number of years, and many students who have taken online classes say that they like them so much. Only reason is because they do not have to travel to a building at a busy timetable to listen to a professor. In addition, learning online programs is also diverse, so learners can receive programs for all levels from a distance education. Some online programs are very good and believable. They provide students with all information they need to finish their course. However, you should not send money to any schools that say you can get a college degree without doing any work. These online courses might be illegal organizations. So, thinking carefully is necessary before getting an education online. Be alert!

Today almost everyone walking down the street has at least one mobile phone in their pocket.

There has been an estimated number of 90 million unwanted mobile phones in the UK alone! This mountain weighs around 12,000 tones, but only 5% of it is recycled. What makes us worried most is that mobile phones contain harmful chemicals which are released into the environment when phones begin to degrade and, in addition, large amounts of carbon dioxide are also produced during the manufacture of phones. It seems that the more modern mobile phones become, the worse our environment gets. __________________

The country is more beautiful than a town and more pleasant to live in. Many people think so, and go to the country for summer holidays though they cannot live there all the year around. Some have a cottage built in a village so that they can go there whenever they can find the time. English villages are not all like, but in some ways they are not very different from one another. Almost every village has a church, the round or square tower of which can be seen for many miles around. Surrounding the church is the churchyard where people are buried. The village green is a wide stretch of grass, and houses or cottages are built round it. Country life is now fairly comfortable and many villages have water brought through pipes into each house. Most villages are so close to some small towns that people can go there to buy what they cannot find in the village shops. __________________

People in Beijing cannot see the sun because the air is full of smog (a mixture of smoke and fog). The smog is so thick that it blocks the sun all day. People really miss seeing the sun. Beijing’s leaders decided to put giant LED screens across the city. People stand in front of the digital screens and watch the sunrise. The screen in Tiananmen Square also had a special message on it. It was a public announcement that read: “Protecting the atmosphere and environment is everyone’s responsibility.” The live, digital sunrise is really a hit with tourists. One from Mexico said: “It looks like science fiction. It’s kind of cool, but it’s also worrying.” The air quality in China’s cities often becomes bad in winter. People burn more coal for heating in the winter months. This causes more pollution. Many workers wore face masks on their way to work. They did not want to breathe the poisonous air. One man told reporters: “I couldn’t see the tall buildings across the street this morning. The smog has become worse in the last two to three years. I often cough and my nose is always running.”

VI. Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False.

KÈ

In July 1945, a tomato fight started in the market square of Buňol, near Valencia in Spain. Two young men began to argue and, because they were standing next to a fruit stall, they picked up tomatoes and threw them at each other. Other people joined in but the police soon stopped the fight. The young men had to pay for all the tomatoes that they threw. The following year young people in the town met again at the market square and started another tomato fight. Again, the police stopped the fight, but a tradition began: la tomatina. A few years later the local government banned the tomato fight, but the people continued the tradition illegally.

DẠ

In 1995, the fight became legal again, but the participants had to follow two simple rules: they couldn’t start throwing tomatoes until a special signal, and they had to stop exactly an hour later. Today, la tomatina is a big tourist attraction. It takes place every year on the last Wednesday in August. About 40,000 people join in the fight and throw over 100 tones of tomatoes at each other. After the fight everyone gathers in the square and eats and drinks until late in the evening. 23. The tomato fight takes place in Spain.

Most people think of computers as very modern inventions, products of our new technological age. But actually, the idea for a computer was invented out over two centuries ago by a man called Charles Babbage.

KÈ

Babbage was born in 1791 and grew up to be a brilliant mathematician. He drew up plans for several calculating machines which he called "engines". But despite the fact that he started building some of these, he never finished any of them. Over the years people have argued whether his machines would ever work. Recently, however, the Science Museum in London has finished building an engine that depends on one of Babbage's designs.

DẠ

It has taken six years to complete and more than four thousand parts have been specially made. Whether it works or not, the machine will be on show at a special exhibition in the Science Museum to remind people of Babbage's work. 23. Computers are products of the modern age.

VI. Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False. Our environment is in trouble. People and industries are polluting the air, rivers, lakes and seas. There are many things you can do to help the environment. Here are a few.

Firstly, the burning of petroleum is one of the biggest sources of carbon monoxide (CO) that causes global warming. CO thins the ozone layer, which protects us from the sun’s ray. So try to walk, cycle or use public transportation.

Secondly, the biggest use of home energy is for heating and cooling homes. It not only consumes much energy but also costs a lot of money. So turn the heat down, especially at night. Replace ordinary light bulbs with energy-saving light bulbs, which use less energy. Finally, showers use a lot of water. Buying a special “low-flow” shower head or taking shorter showers can cut this use in half. __________________

Today almost everyone walking down the street has at least one mobile phone in their pocket.

There has been an estimated number of 90 million unwanted mobile phones in the UK alone! This mountain weighs around 12,000 tonnes, but only about 5% of it is recycled. What makes us worried most is that mobile phones contain harmful chemicals which are released into the environment when phones begin to degrade and, in addition, large amounts of carbon dioxide are also produced during the manufacture of phones. It seems that the more modern mobile phones become, the worse our environment gets.

Many parents may feel that social networking sites are a waste of their children’s time. However, new research claims that the communication opportunities provided by social networking encourage young people to explore their interests, develop technical skills, and work on new forms of self- expression. The three-year study carried out by a University of California research team that interviewed over 800 teens and conducted over 2000 hours of online observations. It found that social networking helps teenagers learn the social and technical skills they need to be knowledgeable citizens in the digital age.

KÈ

The study concludes that social networking contributes to young people’s extended friendships and interests. While the majority of teens use social networking sites to “hang out” with people they already know in real life, some use them to find like- minded people. Those interested in chess or international politics, for example, can expand their circle with others who share the same interests and can find information that goes beyond that they have access to at school. They can also publicize and distribute their music, art work, or writing to online audiences, and gain visibility and enhance their reputations. The researchers said teens usually respect one another’s authority online, and they are often more motivated to learn one another than from their parents or other adults. 23. Teens spend an average of 2000 hours online annually. ____________ 24. Most teenagers are said to use social networking sites for interacting with existing friends. ____________ 25. The author mentions international politics to give an example of a shared interest. ____________ 26. About 800 teens have an online identity. ____________

Coleen Moore, coordinator of resource development at the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery, says she has clients from college age to early adulthood who spend 14 to 18 hours a day online.

VI. Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False. With so many factories that make disposable toothbrushes, pens, cans, bottles and wrappings, garbage is a very big problem in our world today. You may think that garbage is everywhere. Well, you’re right. It is everywhere! A good (and scary) example of this is the ‘Great Pacific Garbage Patch’. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch was first discovered by scientists in the 1980s. It is an area of floating garbage in the Pacific Ocean that is about the same size as Texas. There are many kinds of garbage in the Garbage Patch, but plastic bottles and bags, and other things made of plastic cause the biggest problem. ‘What’s the problem?’ you may ask. First, plastic bottles and bags may take hundreds or maybe even thousands of years to break down. Second, plastic is made from chemicals. As the plastics break down over time, chemicals enter the water - and enter the fish that live in the water. These chemicals can make the fish sick, and they can also make the people ĐỀ SỐ 37_ĐỀ THI THỬ TUYỂN SINH TIẾNG ANH VÀO 10

But I’ll never forget my first personal experience with the strangeness of nature – “the London Killer Fog” of 1952. It began on Thursday, December 4th, when a high-pressure system (warm air) covered southern England. With the freezing – cold air below, heavy fog formed. Pollution from factories, cars, and coal stoves mixed with the fog. The humidity was high, there was no breeze at all. Traffic (cars, trains, and boats) stopped. People couldn’t see, and some walked onto the railroad tracks of into the river. It was hard to breathe, and many people got sick. Finally, on Tuesday, December 9th, the wind came and the fog went away. But after that, even more people got sick. Many of them died. __________________

Air pollution is by far the most harmful form of pollution in our environment. It is caused by the injurious smoke emitted by cars, buses, trucks, trains, and factories. Even smoke from burning leaves and cigarettes is harmful to the environment causing a lot of damage to man and the atmosphere. Evidence of increasing air pollution is seen in lung cancer. Water pollution caused by industrial waste products released into lakes, rivers, and other water bodies, has made marine life no longer hospitable. Humans pollute water with large scale disposal of garbage and other household waste. In many areas in the world, water in some rivers is too polluted to bath or drink. Noise pollution, soil pollution and light pollution are also damaging the environment at an alarming rate. Noise pollution includes aircraft noise, noise of cars, buses, vehicle horns, loudspeakers, and industry noise which are extremely harmful to the environment. __________________

DẠ

The struggle to have eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest was the origin of International Workers’ Day, which is also referred to as May Day or Labor Day. The celebration commemorates the Haymarket Massacre in Chicago in 1886, when Chicago police shoot workers who were striking to establish the eight-hour day. Many workers died in the event. Historically, the first congress of the Second International, which was an organization of socialist and labor parties formed in Paris on July 14, 1889, called for international demonstrations on the 1890 anniversary of the Chicago protests. In 1891, the Second International recognized May Day as an annual event. In 1904, Social Democratic Party organizations and trade unions of all countries were called on to demonstrate actively on May First to establish eight hours of work a day and to get workers' rights. Unions of all countries were urged to go on strike on May 1, wherever it is possible without injury to the workers. ĐỀ SỐ 45_ĐỀ THI THỬ TUYỂN SINH TIẾNG ANH VÀO 10

more crowded. Nowadays many shops start their "New Year Sales" before Christmas; some people therefore wait till the last days, in order to pay less for their presents.

IA L

When the shops finally close for the holiday, most people are happy that the shopping is over. For a day at least, everything is shut except pubs and restaurants, which do a lot of business on Christmas day (though not in 2020, on account of Covid 19).

In the past, most people used to go to church on Christmas morning; today some people go to church for a special Christmas service, but most stay at home to open presents and prepare the Christmas lunch. In the afternoon, it's time for more presents, or to watch a good film, or go out for a walk in the country, or in the park. Then, after Christmas, the shopping season starts again, as people spend their Christmas money and look for bargains in the New Year sales. Most people have a week's holiday between Christmas and the New Year.

January sometimes seems very flat and empty!

OF F

Some, of course, have to keep working; but for most, the last week of the year is a time to relax, enjoy more parties, and do a bit more shopping.

VI. Reading Comprehension: True – False + Answer the Questions (1.5 pts)

DẠ

People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language. A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect learning a ĐỀ SỐ 47_ĐỀ THI THỬ TUYỂN SINH TIẾNG ANH VÀO 10

142

IA L

second language. The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.

No language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to our first language are easier. Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world. (Extracted from https://www.usingenglish.com/comprehension/5.html)

Do you ever think about what schools will be like in the future? Many people think that students will study most regular classes such as maths, science and history online. Students will probably learn these subjects anywhere using a computer. What will happen if students have problems with a subject? They might connect with a teacher through live video conferencing. Expert teachers from learning centres will give students help wherever they live.

DẠ

Students will still take classes in a school, too. Schools will become places for learning social skills. Teachers will guide students in learning how to work together in getting along with each other. They will help students with group projects both in and out of the classroom. Volunteer work and working at local businesses will teach students important life skills about the world they live in. This will help students become an important part of their communities. Some experts say it will take five years for changes to begin in schools. Some say it will take longer.

More than two hundred years ago, the term "environment pollution" was quite strange to people. They lied healthily, drank pure water, and breathed fresh air. Nowadays, the situation is quite different. People all over the world are worried about things that are happening to the environment. Actually, it is man that is destroying the surroundings with many kinds of wastes. Everybody knows that motorbikes and cars emit dangerous gases that cause poisonous air and cancer, but no one wants to travel on foot or by bicycle. Manufactures know the wastes from factories make water and soil polluted, but they do not want to spend a lot of their money on treating the wastes safely. Scattering garbage is bad for our health, but no one wants to spend time burying it. It is worth talking a lot about pollution. Answer: True or False?

Nowadays our modern life is full of mass media. Normally, our day always begins with a newspaper, a print paper, delivered to us with our morning cup of tea or coffee. Some of us switch on the radio or TV while getting ready for the day. Many try to look for the daily news on their smart phones with some cigarettes. Others stop to buy some newspaper on the way to work because they want to read whenever they can. Some are at office work, using their computers to surf the internet and search the information they like. So, I wonder if there is no means of the media for our life, how will we become? And that's the reason why we need the latest daily news around the world. To me, as we are lucky to live in a modern hi-tech world, we easily contact anyone else through the internet. Actually, we can work at home after work or while going outside we're able to manage to check and reply our e-mails like we used to see our mail boxes. __________________

In the 19th century, fishermen in Peru noticed something unusual. They saw that the Pacific Ocean water was sometimes warm in December. The fishermen called this El Nino. The warm water caused problems. It kept fish away. The fishermen caught fewer fish, and their family were hungry. Today El Nino still caused problems. Every two or seven years, warm water off Australia’s coast moves east to South America. This changes the weather around the world. El Nino sometimes causes hot, dry weather in Southeast Asia, parts of South America, and Australia. It can also cause very heavy storms and high tides in eastern Africa and on the western coasts of North America, Central America, and South America. __________________

Technology has never developed as quickly as it has in the early 21st century. In recent years, we have seen a huge growth in access to personal communication with the introduction of the smartphone. Almost everyone has one these days, but what about changes to technology in the home? Welcome to the smart TV. Televisions have been in our homes for many years now. From the first black and white TVs in the 1920s to flat screens today, they have become more advanced as modern living has progressed. We are all used to using a remote control instead of getting up to change the channel, but that is about to change with the latest developments in hardware design. Imagine being able to control the TV with a wave of your hand or just by telling the TV what you want. This sounds like something out of a science fiction film, but it is actually real. New technologies allow you to operate your TV without pressing a button. Instead, you can use voice control to turn the volume up or down and the TV on or off. You can even use your body movements to surf the Internet. The future of television is also very exciting. A team of Japanese scientists are even developing a TV where you can smell what you are watching. So the next time you are watching the cooking channel it could make you very hungry!

As life was changing rapidly in the large cities of England, life in other areas remained much the same as it had been for centuries. Factories brought huge population increases to the cities, and city life boomed. City residents discovered a new way of life, but in country villages the traditional lifestyle remained nearly unchanged. There were a few changes, particularly the new steam-powered machinery, that made farm production more efficient. But for the people who remained in the countryside, daily life continued much as it had before the Industrial Revolution. Life in country villages continued to move at a slow pace. The daily schedule depended on the times that the sun rose and set and on the weather. In a typical village, the largest number of workers was still employed in agriculture or in domestic service. A smaller number of people worked in various trades. Even fewer worked in the professions.

Decide whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE. __________________

The news media can be classified into two general categories: the categories of print media and electronic media. Print media use the written material to communicate news to readers. Electronic media use air waves to send news into homes, offices, and public places. Print media are usually divided into magazines and newspapers. Most newspaper print news daily. The electronic media are generally divided into radio and television. Radio news is the one that you listen to. In the United States, many radio stations broadcast five minutes of news every hour. Television news is the one that you not only listen but also watch. In Canada and the United States, for example, many people watch an hour of news on TV at six o’clock in the evening.

Floods are common natural disasters that can affect millions of people around the world. They destroy houses and buildings, and carry soil away from valuable farming land. Floods can also contaminate drinking water and lead to diseases. At least once a year the plains around large rivers are flooded. This is due to the amount of water that rivers bring with them, because of heavy rainfall of melting snow in the mountainous regions. Thunderstorms can cause flash floods, in which small rivers can swell quickly and carry up to ten times the normal amount of water. Tropical storms, cyclones and hurricanes also lead to flooding. Hurricane Katrina caused a massive flooding of the whole Mississippi Delta in 2004.

Floods are not always destructive natural events. Before the Aswan High Dam was built yearly floods in Egypt brought along nutrients and made the land around the Nile very fertile.

QU Y

It might sound strange to you but these are some important rules. If you want to pass examinations, then study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, try to learn English without studying too much grammar because that will only slow you down and confuse you. You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of speaking naturally like a native speaker. Some native speakers do not know so many grammar rules as non-native students do.

Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent, or lack some brain power. This could be achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times. You may notice that there are also some people who study abroad and learn very little. That is because they go to an English speaking school, but find friends from their own country and don't practice English. Some others can speak English well because they live in an English speaking environment.

KÈ

Therefore, why don't you surround yourself with English? Make rules with some friends that you will only speak English when meeting up for a coffee, for example. You can also carry around an iPod and listen to English as much as possible. ________________

24. You need to be quite intelligent to study a language well.

Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth. People call these storms by other names, such as typhoons or cyclones, (17)__________ on where they occur. The scientific term for all these storms is tropical cyclone. Only tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean are (18)__________ "hurricanes". Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm (19)__________ waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the surface. Another way to say the same thing is that the warm air rises, causing an area of lower air (20)__________ below. Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure pushes into the low-pressure area. Then that "new" air becomes warm and moist and rises, too. As the warm air continues to rise, the surrounding air swirls in to (21)__________ its place. As the warmed, moist air rises and cools off, the water in the air forms clouds. The (22)__________ system of clouds and wind spins and grows, fed by the ocean's heat and water evaporating from the surface.

NASA's Mars Global Surveyor has orbited the planet since March 1999 on a mission to map and study the planet's entire surface. The long-term mission has produced particular insights into the dynamic planet's changing seasons and shifting weather, including its infamous dust storms. Perhaps the most famous of all Martian missions is that of the Mars exploration rovers Spirit and Opportunity. These two rovers reached opposite sides of Mars in January 2004 and have proceeded to explore the planet far more extensively than previous missions. The rovers have covered several miles and returned more than 100,000 high-resolution images. Probing soil and rocks, they have also used their fully equipped lab modules to conduct robotic field geology tests on the Martian surface and even below it. Many future Mars missions are already in development and will take place long before any human visits the planet. Scientists hope that robotic craft can delve far beneath the Martian surface to return data, and possible samples, of the planet's geology. Such missions could even find signs of the water, and possible life, that may lie hidden beneath the planet's forbidding exterior.

Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspapers, we hear, see, or read about many problems in the world, for example, pollution problems. Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes, cars, airplanes, trains, and poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped anywhere, even in the city where many people are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution. Many people earn their living from fishing in the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people. But the sea has become so polluted from oil spills and factory wastes that the fish are dying. This pollution is not only killing the fish, but is also affecting those people who eat fish. Seldom do you find a place nowadays that is not polluted. This problem is growing more difficult every day. We must find a good solution that makes the world a better place to live. __________________

There are many factors that cause the pollution of the air: chemicals from burned fuels, smoke from automobiles, and acid rain from chemical transformation. Smoke can cause serious health problems while acid rain is responsible for the destruction of many forest ecosystems.

Raw sewage, garbage, and oil contribute to the pollution of water. When water is polluted, it causes a lot of waterborne diseases and threatens marine wildlife. About 1.5 billion people around the world lack safe drinking water and every year 5 million people die from diseases. __________________

QU Y

Many parents are concerned that their children will spend time on social networking which they could be using to do their homework, exercises, or interact with people in the real world.

They may feel that social networking sites are a waste of their children’s time. However, new research claims that the communication opportunities provided by social networking encourage young people to explore their interests, develop technical skills, and work on new forms of self- expression. The three-year study carried out by a University of California research team that interviewed over 800 teens and conducted over 2000 hours of online observations. It found that social networking helps teenagers learn the social and technical skills they need to be knowledgeable citizens in the digital age.

DẠ

KÈ

The study concludes that social networking contributes to young people’s extended friendships and interests. While the majority of teens use social networking sites to “hang out” with people they already know in real life, some use them to find like- minded people. Those interested in chess or international politics, for example, can expand their circle with others who share the same interests and can find information that goes beyond that they have access to at school. They can also publicize and distribute their music, art work, or writing to online audiences, and gain visibility and enhance their reputations. Teenagers create new modes of self-expression and rules for social behavior online. New forms of online media allow them to acquire technical skills through creating videos, writing blogs or customizing their online profiles. The researchers said teens usually respect one another’s authority online, and they are often more motivated to learn one another than from their parents or other adults. Social networking has become a societal reality. Children and teens commonly use these sites to interact like adults. With social networking such an important part of youth social culture, it can be extremely difficult to completely keep teens away from social networks. Instead, it is better for parents to allow their kids to access the appropriate websites while teaching them to use them safely and responsibly. ĐỀ SỐ 74_ĐỀ THI THỬ TUYỂN SINH TIẾNG ANH VÀO 10

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1030. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not attended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking, and diplomacy.

Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems Worldwide is in English. Twothirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable.

DẠ

Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the governments do not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution.

The World Wide Web was developed by British physicist and computer scientist Timothy Berners-Lee as a project within the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. Berners-Lee combined several existing ideas into a single system to make it easier for physicists to use data on the Internet. Most important, he added multimedia - the ability to include graphics - to the hyperlink concept found in a previous Internet service known as gopher. Berners-Lee had begun working with hypertext in the early 1980s. An early prototype implementation of the Web became operational at CERN in 1989, and the idea quickly spread to universities in the rest of the world.

QU Y

Groups at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign researched and extended Web technology. They developed the first browser that was used at many sites, named Mosaic, in 1993. To allow the Web to be accessed from a wide variety of computer systems, researchers built multiple versions of Mosaic. Each version was designed to be used with a specific operating system, the software that controls the computer. Within a year, computer programmer Marc Andreessen had formed a commercial company, Netscape Communications Corporation, to build and sell Web technologies. 31. The scientist who developed the World Wide Web was majoring in computer and physics. _____________ __________________

OF F

In the generation of hydroelectric power, water is collected or stored at a higher elevation and led downward through large pipes or tunnels (penstocks) to a lower elevation; the difference in these two elevations is known as the head. At the end of its passage down the pipes, the falling water causes turbines to rotate. The turbines in turn drive generators, which convert the turbines’ mechanical energy into electricity. Transformers are then used to convert the alternating voltage suitable for the generators to a higher voltage suitable for longdistance transmission. The structure that houses the turbines and generators, and into which the pipes or penstocks feed, is called the powerhouse.

NH ƠN

Hydroelectric power plants are usually located in dams that impound rivers, thereby raising the level of the water behind the dam and creating as high a head as is feasible. The potential power that can be derived from a volume of water is directly proportional to the working head, so that a high-head installation requires a smaller volume of water than a low-head installation to produce an equal amount of power. In some dams, the powerhouse is constructed on one flank of the dam, part of the dam being used as a spillway over which excess water is discharged in times of flood. Where the river flows in a narrow steep gorge, the powerhouse may be located within the dam itself. (Source: https://www.britannica.com/science/hydroelectric-power)

Dr. Helen Patricia Sharman is a British chemist who became the first British astronaut and the first woman to visit the Mir Space Station in 1991. Sharman was born on 30 May 1963 in Grenoside, Sheffield, where she attended Grenoside Junior and Infant School, later moving to Greenhill. She received a BSc in chemistry at the University of Sheffield in 1984 and a PhD from Birkbeck, University of London.

DẠ

After responding to a radio advertisement asking for applicants to be the first British astronaut, Helen Sharman was selected for the mission live on ITV, on 25 November 1989, ahead of nearly 13,000 other applicants. The program was known as Project Juno and was a cooperative Soviet Union–British mission cosponsored by a group of British companies. Before flying, Sharman spent 18 months in intensive flight training in Star City. The Project Juno consortium failed to raise the monies expected, and the program was almost cancelled. With a view to the flight's impact on international relations, the project proceeded under Soviet expense although as a cost-saving measure, less expensive experiments were substituted for those in the original plans.

Theo kế hoạch Chính phủ Nhật Bản công bố ngày 13-4, việc xả thải hơn 1 triệu tấn nước bị ô nhiễm từ Nhà máy điện hạt nhân Fukushima Daiichi sẽ bắt đầu trong 2 năm tới. Phía Nhật khẳng định việc xả thải chỉ diễn ra sau khi hoàn tất quá trình lọc bỏ các đồng vị phóng xạ nguy hiểm.

Công bố này đã gây nên làn sóng phản bác gay gắt ở hai nước Trung Quốc và Hàn Quốc. Thông cáo khẳng định cả Hàn Quốc và Trung Quốc đều quan ngại sâu sắc, cho rằng Tokyo đã vội vã đưa ra quyết định xả thải mà không tham vấn các nước láng giềng.

Trung Quốc đã liên tục phản đối kể từ sau khi Nhật Bản công bố kế hoạch. Sự chỉ trích không chỉ đến từ giới chức Trung Quốc. Truyền thông nhà nước Trung Quốc, điển hình như Tân Hoa xã và Thời báo Hoàn Cầu, cũng vào cuộc và thổi bùng tâm lý phản đối Nhật Bản trong nước.

Trong các cuộc họp báo ngày 13 và 14-4, người phát ngôn Triệu Lập Kiên của Bộ Ngoại giao Trung Quốc chỉ trích Tokyo "vô trách nhiệm" và tuyên bố Bắc Kinh sẽ "hành động" nếu Nhật tiếp tục kế hoạch xả thải. Ông Triệu nêu ra 3 vấn đề chất vấn: "Nhật Bản có lắng nghe các quan ngại trong và ngoài nước? Hành động của các vị có tuân thủ luật quốc tế? Nước thải ra có đạt tiêu chuẩn quốc tế?"

Các chuyên gia Nhật Bản khẳng định nước có chứa tritium - một đồng vị phóng xạ của hydro, là an toàn về mặt khoa học. Theo tuần báo Nikkei Asia, việc xả nước có chứa chất này ra biển đã diễn ra ở nhiều nhà máy hạt nhân không chỉ của Nhật Bản mà còn của nhiều nước khác. Cũng theo báo này, kế hoạch xả thải của Nhà máy Fukushima Daiichi thu hút sự chú ý là do thảm họa động đất - sóng thần năm 2011. Cơ quan Năng lượng Nguyên tử quốc tế (IAEA) ủng hộ quyết định này, vì các nguyên tố phóng xạ, ngoại trừ triti, sẽ bị loại bỏ khỏi nước hoặc giảm xuống mức an toàn trước khi thải ra ngoài. IAEA cũng đã chỉ ra rằng, các nhà máy hạt nhân trên khắp thế giới sử dụng quy trình tương tự để xử lý nước thải. Tạm kết luận:

DẠ Y

Nước thải phóng xạ, dù có được loại bỏ hàm lượng phóng xạ “đạt đến mức an toàn” mà khi thải trực tiếp ra biển cũng sẽ để lại khá nhiều hậu quả cho hệ sinh thái biển. Vấn đề đặt ra rằng: “Cần phải làm gì để có được sự phát triển bền vững trong quá trình phát triển ngành năng lượng quốc gia, tức là thỏa mãn nhu cầu hiện tại nhưng không làm ảnh hưởng đến thế hệ tương lai?” G.A ĐỀ 5 - 8 TUYỂN SINH LỚP 10 - ANH

Many other schools, however, are hesitating to introduce computer science onto the school curriculum. They wonder if students, especially younger ones, will be able to use these complicated machines. They also fear that they may only be suitable for youngsters who are good at math. “What about slower students?” they ask. Will computers make learning even more difficult for them?

This garbage damages the environment. Although a lot of garbage is buried in the ground, some of it gets blown about in the wind. Also, when garbage is burnt, poisonous gases are given off into the air. The garbage thrown into the sea will pollute the water. What can we do about these problems? Well, one very easy answer is to produce less garbage. We can recycle things made from glass and paper as well as tin cans. People can refuse to take the plastic bags from the shops and supermarkets by bringing with them their own bags or baskets when they go shopping. The government should tell people about the dangers of the pollution caused by garbage. Education is perhaps the most important factor for keeping our environment healthy for the future.

G.A ĐỀ 9 - 12 TUYỂN SINH LỚP 10 - ANH

Tính từ đuôi “ing” như boring, surprising được dùng để miêu tả ai, cái gì mang lại cảm giác như thế nào cho đối tượng khác. VD: This history book is interesting. Việc tính từ đuôi "ed" với "ing" lần lượt bị hiểu nhầm là được sử dụng cho người và vật là do sự trùng hợp. Thông thường, chỉ con người mới cảm thấy điều gì (tương ứng với cách dùng của tính từ đuôi "ed") và sự vật thì mang lại cảm giác cho con người (tương ứng với cách dùng của tính từ đuôi "ing"). Ví dụ: This history book is interesting. I get more interested in history. Đáp án: surprised. 30. Dấu hiệu: Trước chỗ trống là động từ tobe “is …”, sau chỗ trống là to V. Do đó chỗ trống phải là tính từ. Đáp án: costly (tốn tiền). 31. Dấu hiệu: Trước chỗ trống là chủ ngữ “you”,sau chỗ trống là 1 danh từ đóng vai trò là tân ngữ, chỗ trống phải là động từ. Dịch nghĩa: Đảm bảo rằng bạn đã ngắt điện trước khi bắt đầu sửa công tắc đèn này. Đáp án: disconnect. 32. Dấu hiệu: Trước chỗ trống là tính từ, chỗ trống phải là danh từ. Dịch nghĩa của câu thì lại mang ý nghĩa tiêu cực (Sức khỏe của anh bị ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng vì mất ngủ triền miên.) Đáp án: sleeplessness. 33. Dấu hiệu: Trước chỗ trống là động từ “go”, do đó chỗ trống phải là V-ing Đáp án: picnicking (go picnicking: đi dã ngoại). 34. Dấu hiệu: trước chỗ trống là động từ “arrive”. Chỗ trống là trạng từ. Cách chuyển động từ sang tính từ: thêm “ing” hoặc “ed” rồi thêm đuôi “ly”. Thêm vào đó, dịch nghĩa của câu thì phải sử dụng nghĩa phủ định. Dịch: Một số bạn bè đến bất ngờ vào tối hôm qua, vì vậy tất cả chúng tôi đã đi ăn tối. Đáp án: unexpectedly.

Producers realize that products must not only work effectively but also save money. In a household, lighting often accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of electricity bills. That is why some inventors from the Phillips and Company in Holland invented energy saving bulbs called compact bulbs. They are a good replacement for the 100-watt light bulbs which are often used.
