include B relate C consist D discover Question 35 A observation B disease C awareness D vision Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions A balanced diet contains proteins, which are composed of complex amino acids There are 20 types of amino acids, comprising about 16 percent of the body weight in a lean individual A body needs all 20 to be healthy Amino acids can be divided into two groups: essential and nonessential There are essential amino acids These are the proteins that the body cannot produce by itself, so a healthy individual must ingest them The 11 nonessential amino acids, on the other hand, are produced by the body, so it is not necessary to ingest them Proteins are described as being either high-quality or low-quality, depending on how many of the essential amino acids the food contains High-quality proteins, typically found in animal meats, are proteins that have ample amounts of the essential amino acids Low-quality proteins are mainly plant proteins and usually lack one or more of the essential amino acids Since people who follow a strict vegetarian diet are ingesting only low-quality proteins, they must make sure that their diets contain a variety of proteins, in order to ensure that what is lacking in one food is available in another This process of selecting a variety of the essential proteins is called protein complementation Since an insufficient amount of protein in the diet can be crippling, and prolonged absence of proteins can cause death, it is imperative that a vegetarian diet contains an ample amount of the essential proteins Question 36 With what topic is this passage primarily concerned? A the types of amino acids B high- and low-quality proteins C healthy diets for vegetarians D the process of complementation Question 37 The word "ample" is closest in meaning to which of the following _ A meager B harmful C substantial D frequent Question 38 Which of the following would NOT be an example of a low-quality protein? A legumes B apples C tuna D grains Question 39 According to the passage, a vegetarian could die from insufficient protein ingestion if he or she _ A did not follow a varied and properly protein-complemented diet B ate too many low-quality proteins C did not follow a diet in which nonessential proteins were ingested D ate too many animal proteins, and could not digest them properly Question 40 Which of the following words could best replace the word "prolonged"? A narrow B hollow C extended D hard-hearted Question 41 Which of the following best describes the author's tone in this passage? A forceful B supportive C casual D argumentative Question 42 Which statement best describes the organization of this passage? A Contrasting views concerning proteins are compared B The author moves from a general comment to a specific argument C A statement is given and its cause is then discussed D Items are discussed in their order of importance Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions The cause of tooth decay is acid, which is produced by bacteria in the mouth The acid removes minerals from tooth enamel, allowing tooth decay to begin; the saliva in your mouth encourages remineralization and neutralizes the acid The rate at which bacteria in the mouth produce acid depends on the amount of plaque on the teeth, the composition of the microbial flora, and whether the bacteria of the plaque have been "primed" by frequent exposure to sugar To keep your teeth healthy, a regular dental hygiene program should be followed Removing plaque with a toothbrush and dental floss temporarily reduces the numbers of bacteria in the mouth and thus reduces tooth decay It also makes the surfaces of the teeth more accessible, enabling saliva to neutralize acid and remineralize lesions If fluoride is present in drinking water when teeth are forming, some fluoride is incorporated into the enamel of the teeth, making them more resistant to attack by 118 acid Fluoride toothpaste seems to act in another way, by promoting the remineralization of early carious lesions In addition to a regular dental hygiene program, a good way to keep your teeth healthy is to reduce your intake of sweet food The least cavity-causing way to eat sweets is to have them with meals and not between The number of times you eat sweets rather than the total amount determines how much harmful acid the bacteria in your saliva produce But the amount of sweets influences the quality of your saliva Avoid, if you can, sticky sweets that stay in your mouth a long time Also try to brush and floss your teeth after eating sugary foods Even rinsing your mouth with water is effective Whenever possible, eat foods with fiber, such as raw carrot sticks, apples, celery sticks, etc., that scrape off plaque, acting as a toothbrush Cavities can be greatly reduced if these rules are followed when eating sweets Question 43 What does this passage mainly discuss? A Good nutrition B Fluoridization and cavities C Ways to keep your teeth healthy D Food with fiber Question 44 According to the passage, all of the following statements about plaque are true EXCEPT _ A It consists of acid producing bacteria C It is not affected by eating sweets C It can be removed from teeth by brushing and flossing D It reduces the positive effect of saliva Question 45 We can infer from the passage that one benefit of fluoride to healthy teeth is _ A It strengthens tooth enamel B It stimulates saliva production C It is a replacement for brushing and flossing in dental care D It makes teeth whiter Question 46 The word "it" refers to _ A dental floss B bacteria C removal of plaque D plaque Question 47 What can be concluded from the passage about sweets?

A breathe out B diffuse C breathe in D exchange Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions There are many theories of aging, but virtually all fall into the category of being hypotheses with a minimum of supporting evidence One viewpoint is that aging occurs as the body's organ systems become less efficient Thus failures in the immune system, hormonal system and nervous system could all produce characteristics that we associate with aging Following a different vein, many current researchers are looking for evidence at the cellular and sub cellular level It has been shown that cells such as human fibroblasts (generalized tissue cells) grown in culture divide only a limited number of times and then die (Only cancer 122 cells seem immortal in this respect.) Fibroblast cells from an embryo divide more times than those taken from an adult Thus some researchers believe that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part of the cell's genetic makeup Any event that disturbs the cell's genetic machinery such as mutation, damaging chemicals in the cell's environment, or loss of genetic material, could cause cells to lose their ability to divide and thus bring on aging Other theories of aging look at different processes Chronological aging refers to the passage of time since birth and is usually measured in years While chronological age can be useful in estimating the average status of a large group of people, it is a poor indicator of an individual person's status because there is a tremendous amount of variation from one individual to the next in regard to the rate at which biological age changes occur For example, on the average, aging results in people losing much of their ability to perform strenuous activities, yet some elderly individuals are excellent marathon runners Another type of aging is cosmetic aging, which consists of change in outward appearance with advancing age This includes changes in the body and changes in other aspects of a person's appearance, such as the style of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and the use of a hearing aid Like chronological aging, it is frequently used to estimate the degree to which other types of aging have occurred However, it is an inaccurate indicator for either purpose because of variation among individuals and because a person's appearance is affected by many factors that are not part of aging, including illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight Question 43 The author believes the theories of aging are _ A well-supported hypotheses B poorly supported hypotheses C interesting ideas D proven theories Question 44 In the first paragraph, the word "evidence" refers to A evidence of aging B evidence of cancer C evidence of cell division D evidence of human fibroblasts Question 45 The author of the article points out that cancer cells _ A divide infinitely B divide and then die C bring on aging D divide more in adults than in embryos Question 46 The word "culture" is closest in meaning to _ A library B a special environment C a society's traditions and values D a toxic substance Question 47 It can be inferred from the passage that fibroblast cells _ A divide fewer times at later stages in human life B disfunction in the aging process of the body's immune system C are similar to cancer cells in rate of division D are not a focus in cellular research on aging Question 48 As explained in this passage, the theory of aging which examines the cellular level would NOT assign which of the following as a cause of aging? A Mutation B Failure of the body's organ system C Chemical damage from the environment D Loss of genetic material Question 49 According to the passage, chronological aging is not a good indicator of an individual's status regarding aging because _ A elderly people are often athletic B there is individual variation in the rate of biological aging C it is difficult to get accurate records of birth dates D strenuous activities are not good measures of age Question 50 The author implies all of the following about cosmetic aging EXCEPT _ A It does not occur at the same rate for all people B It is a poor indicator of chronological age C Illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight cause aging to occur D It is described by changes in outward appearance 123 BỘ GIÁO DỤC & ĐÀO TẠO ĐỀ SỐ Môn: Tiếng Anh Thời gian làm bài: 60 phút MÃ ĐỀ: 129 Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions Question A stopped B beloved C missed D laughed Question A gender B strategy C invest D effective Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the word that differs from the other three in the position of the primary stress in each of the following questions Question A experience B efficient C extensive D evidence Question A demand B device C advance D measure Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions Question In a restaurant, if we want to call the waiter, we can raise our hand and wave it slight to signal that we need assistance A if we B slight to signal C assistance D wave it Question The world is becoming more industrialized and the number of animal species that have become extinct have increased A species B industrialized C have become D have Question A professor of economy and history at our university developed a new theory of the relationship between historical events and financial crises A developed B economy C between D financial crises Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions Question When they had finished playing, the children were made to _ all the toys they had taken out A put away B put out C put off D put up Question Pete has _ strange hobbies like collecting bottle tops and inventing secret codes A gone with B gone on C taken off D taken up Question 10 British and Australian people share the same language, but in other respects they are as different as _ A cats and dogs B here and there C salt and pepper D chalk and cheese Question 11 A number of young teachers nowadays _themselves to teaching disadvantaged children A offer B stick C give D devote Question 12 Not until _ A did I know this he had told me about it B he had told me about it did I know this C he had told me about I knew this D I knew this when he told me about Question 13 Tom quit his job at the advertising agency, _surprised everyone A which B who C that D where Question 14 The climate in Sa Pa is _ A much colder than Hanoi B much colder than that of Hanoi C colder than Hanoi D as cold as Hanoi Question 15 “Men make and women make it home” A a house B house C an house D the house Question 16 Housewives find it easier to domestic chores _the invention of labor-saving devices A thanks to B but for C because D regardless of Question 17 In the kitchen there is a _table A beautiful large round wooden B large beautiful round wooden C wooden round large beautiful D round large beautiful wooden Question 18 Nowadays, most students use _ calculators in their studies and examinations A electrical B electronic C electricity D electric Question 19 She passed the National High School Graduation Exam with _colours A flying B bright C true D red 124 Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the most suitable response to complete each of the following exchanges Question 20 - Linh: “What have you been doing recently?” - Phuong: “ ” A Mostly studying B Very tired after the exam C Keen on soccer and tennis D Really exciting Question 21 - Waiter: “How you like your steak done?” - Diner: “ ” A Well done B Very much C Very little D I don't like it much Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the word(s) CLOSEST in meaning to the underlined word(s) in each of the following questions Question 22 Childbearing is the women’s most wonderful role A Giving birth to a baby B Bringing up a child C Having no child D Educating a baby Question 23 I knew exactly what he wanted me to do;

Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage 126 area The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory The most accepted theory comes from George A Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking, or classifying similar information together By organizing information, one can optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in "rote rehearsal" By repeating something over and over again, one is able to keep a memory alive Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear When a pen and paper are not handy, people often attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the number instantly Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long term memory A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal" This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable Retrieving information can be done by recognition or recall Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and used often; however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting The more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization Question 43 According to the passage, how memories get transferred to the STM? A They revert from the long term memory B They are filtered from the sensory storage area C They get chunked when they enter the brain D They enter via the nervous system Question 44 The word “elapses” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A passes B adds up C appears D continues Question 45 All of the following are mentioned as places in which memories are stored EXCEPT the _ A STM B long term memory C sensory storage area D maintenance area Question 46 Why does the author mention a dog's bark? A To give an example of a type of memory B To provide a type of interruption C To prove that dogs have better memories than humans D To compare another sound that is loud like a doorbell Question 47 How theorists believe a person can remember more information in a short time?

girls log half that time All in all, however, children’s leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25% “Children are affected by the same time crunch that affects their parents,” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “male breadwinner” households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents, 19 hours and 22 hours respectively In contrast, children spent only hours with their single mother.) All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids “Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself,” says T Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids ages to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaging in it The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing “free time” watching television But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news If they are spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren’t replacing it with reading Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading Let’s face it, who’s got the time?
