For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent The truth may even be the opposite Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects Ten-month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eyecatching cartoons A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an early age Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse" Now is the time when they should be out there learning to ride a bike There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards Question 31 Children who spend a lot of time on their computers _ A not necessarily make more progress than those who don't B will suffer from brain damage C tend to have more accidents than those who don't D tend to like music and art more than those who don't Đăng kí KHĨA HỌC PRO3M/PRO3MPLUS – CHINH PHỤC ĐIỂM 9+ MÔN TIẾNG ANH CÙNG CÔ VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG PRO 3M/ PRO 3MPLUS – ƠN LUYỆN TỒN DIỆN CHO KÌ THI TỐT NGHIỆP THPT QUỐC GIA Theo dõi Page : Học Tiếng Anh cô Vũ Mai Phương để học GIỎI TIẾNG ANH HƠN ngày cô Question 32 The pronoun "they" in paragraph refers to _ A objects B heads C mouths D babies Question 33 What is TRUE according to the passage?

A Let kids be kids B Computers in schools C More computers mean brighter future D Never too early to start Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear The first is through ordinary or ‘background’ extinctions, where species that fail to adapt are slowly replaced by more adaptable life forms The second is when large numbers of species go to the wall in relatively short periods of biological time There have been five such extinctions, each provoked by cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by some geological eruption, climate shift, or space junk slamming into the Earth Scientists now believe that another mass extinction of species is currently under way – and this time human fingerprints are on the trigger How are we are doing it? Simply by demanding more and more space for ourselves In our assault on the ecosystems around us we have used a number of tools, from spear and gun to bulldozer and chainsaw Certain especially rich ecosystems have proved the most vulnerable In Hawaii more than half of the native birds are now gone – some 50 species Such carnage has taken place all across the island communities of the Pacific and Indian oceans While many species were hunted to extinction, others simply succumbed to the ‘introduced predators’ that humans brought with them: the cat, the dog, the pig, and the rat Today the tempo of extinction is picking up speed Hunting is no longer the major culprit, although rare birds and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, tusks, and internal organs, or taken as savage pets Today the main threat comes from the destruction of the habitat of wild plants, animals, and insects need to survive The draining and damming of wetland and river courses threatens the aquatic food chain and our own seafood industry Overfishing and the destruction of fragile coral reefs destroy ocean biodiversity Deforestation is taking a staggering toll, particularly in the tropics where the most global biodiversity is at risk The shrinking rainforest cover of the Congo and Amazon river basins and such place as Borneo and Madagascar have a wealth of species per hectare existing nowhere else As those precious hectares are drowned or turned into arid pasture and cropland, such species disappear forever (Source: Final Countdown Practice Tests by D.F Piniaris, Heinle Cengage Learning, 2010) Question 36 What does the passage mainly discuss? A The two ways in which species disappear B The tempo of extinction of species today C Human activity and its impact on a mass extinction of species D Deforestation as a major cause of mass extinctions of species Đăng kí KHĨA HỌC PRO3M/PRO3MPLUS – CHINH PHỤC ĐIỂM 9+ MƠN TIẾNG ANH CÙNG CÔ VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG PRO 3M/ PRO 3MPLUS – ƠN LUYỆN TỒN DIỆN CHO KÌ THI TỐT NGHIỆP THPT QUỐC GIA Theo dõi Page : Học Tiếng Anh cô Vũ Mai Phương để học GIỎI TIẾNG ANH HƠN ngày cô Question 37 The word "assault" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A effort B development C influence D attack Question 38 The word them" in paragraph refers to A oceans B humans C species D predators Question 39 The word "butchered" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A cooked B killed C raised D traded Question 40 What was the main threat to biodiversity Indian oceans until recently?
