John Dunsford, leader of the Association of Head Teachers in Secondary Schools, says that the fact that boys not achieve much academically has its roots in society rather than the classroom Girls, more than boys, see education as a passport to a good job On the other hand, according to Penny Lewis, a head teacher, young men are not confident enough and are often uncertain about their place in society Some boys grow up in families where there is no father, which means no male role model to follow Moreover, boys learn in a different way to girls, preferring small amounts of work with short deadlines rather than large projects extended in time And education is not seen as "cool" As someone on a BBC website put it, "Girls achieve more at school because they are watching the future while the boys are watching the girls." This is not just a problem in Britain In a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and UNESCO, girls did better than boys at reading at the age of 15 in all 45 countries The UK took the ninth place among the 45 countries in reading skills, although pupils in the UK spend less time reading than in most other countries Interestingly, the study suggested that British children read for pleasure more often than those in other countries (Adapted from www.bbc.co.uk) Twenty years ago _ A boys didn't very well in exams B school authorities decided to change the situation C girls had very good results in exams D all pupils went to single-sex classes Girls have better exam results than boys because _ A boys are too sure of themselves B girls think that a good education will help them find a Job C boys come from a different place in society than girls D girls grow up in complete families Boys differ from girls in _ A the number of books they read B the time spent surfing the Internet C the way they spend their free time D the way they learn The study by UNESCO showed that British children at the age of fifteen _ A read a lot although they don’t have to Trang 2/5 - Mã đề 246 B spend more time reading than children in other countries C are the best at reading D can't read very well The word “they” in bold in the last paragraph refers to _ A boys B girls C projects D deadlines The text is mainly about _ A the kind of exams pupils take B boys' and girls' success in education C the educational system in Britain D what pupils read for pleasure ANSWERS: PART 2: Read the following passage and then choose the most suitable word or phrase for each space (1pt) Every ten minutes, one kind of animal, plant or insect dies (1) for ever If nothing is done about it, one million species that are alive today will have become (2) twenty years from now The seas are in (3) They are being filled with poison: industrial and nuclear (4) , chemical fertilizers and pesticides, sewage The Mediterranean is already nearly dead; the North Sea is following If nothing done about it, one day soon nothing will be able to live in the seas The tropical rain forests, which are the (5) of half the earth’s living things (including many rare animals and plants), are being destroyed If nothing is done about it, they will have nearly disappeared in twenty years The (6) on the world’s climate – and on our agriculture and food supplies – will be disastrous Fortunately, somebody is trying to something about it In 1961, the World Wildlife Fund was (7) - a small group of people who wanted to raise money to save animals and plants from extinction Today, the World Wildlife Fund is a large international organization It has raised over 35 million pounds for conservation projects, and has created or given (8) to National Park in five continents It has helped 30 mammals and birds – including the tiger – to (9) Perhaps this is not much, but it is a start If more people give more money – and if more governments wake up to what is happening – perhaps the World Wildlife Fund will be able to help us to avoid the disaster that (10) the natural world, and all of us with it A off B on C out D over A extinguished B extinct C distinct D invalid A danger B death C debt D despair A waste B rubbish C essence D mixture A container B origin C house D home A result B impression C effect D motivation A founded B found C funded D fixed A defense B support C preservation D rescues A continue B endure C prolong D survive 10 A occurs B pollutes C threatens D suffers ANSWERS: 10 WRITING (2pts) PART 1: Rewrite each of the sentences in such a way that each has the same meaning as the original one It was said that the company had dumped hundreds of tons of waste into the river But it denied that Trang 3/5 - Mã đề 246 → The company ?
