friendly Two such resources are solar power and geothermal power Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity In the us alone, more than 100, 000 homes are equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles And in other parts of the world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth Hot water and steam that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which produces electricity Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel resources and as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple A prime example of effective geothermal use in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity where there are over 80 percent of private homes, are heated by geothermal power Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on global scale. Question 39 What is the main topic of this passage?

A They both require the use of a generator B They both use heat from the earth’s surface C They both require fairly simple technology D They are both conventional and costly Question 43 What best describes the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A To warn people about the hazards of fossil fuel use B To convince people of the benefits of developing alternative energy sources C To describe the advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy use D To outline the problems and solutions connected with global warming 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 following questions from 43 to 50 According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders.” It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things” done Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well¬being of a social group’s member Expressive leader are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members They give orders and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the groups goals Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group As the differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect Question 44 What does the passage mainly discuss? A How leadership differs in small and large groups B The role of leaders in social groups C The problems faced by leaders D How social groups determine who will lead them Question 45 The passage mentions all of the following ways by which people can become leaders EXCEPT _ A recruitment B specific leadership training C traditional cultural patterns D formal election process Question 46 Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2? A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership B Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications C A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another group D Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person Question 47 The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on _ A sharing responsibility with group members B achieving a goal C ensuring harmonious relationships D identifying new leaders Question 48 The word “collective” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A necessary B group C particular D typical Question 49 It can be understood that _ A There is lots of tension and conflict in an election of a leader in the family B There is usually an election to choose leaders in a family as well as in larger groups C It has been said that there must be a set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common D Leaders are sometimes chosen formally or informally Question 50 The word “resolve” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A talk about B find a solution for C avoid repeating D avoid thinking about END ĐÁP ÁN 1.C 2.A 3.B 4.B 5.B 6.A 7.B 8.B 9.B 10.B 11.D 12.C 13.B 14.A 15.D 16.B 17.C 18.D 19.A 20.B 21.C 22.B 23.A 24.C 25.D 26.C 27.A 28.A 29.B 30.B 31.B 32.C 33.D 34.C 35.B 36.A 37.C 38.C 39.B 40.A 41.A 42.C 43.B 44.B 45.B 46.C 47.B 48.B 49.D 50.B LỜI GIẢI CHI TIẾT Question 1: Đáp án C A beautify /’bju:tifai/ (v): làm đẹp B beautifully /’bju:tifli/ (a): đẹp, hay C beautiful /’bju:tifl/ (a): đẹp, hay D beautification /bju:tifi’kei∫n/ (n): làm đẹp Căn vào cấu trúc câu vị trí trống cần điền tính từ để tạo thành cụm danh từ Dịch nghĩa: Botanical Garden nơi đẹp, nơi mà thực tua ngắn quanh vườn chụp nhiều ảnh toàn lớp Question 2: Đáp án A Dịch nghĩa: “Cô khơng nghĩ tơi có nhiều tiền phải khơng?” Câu bắt đầu với she + doesn’t thành lập hỏi đuôi dùng does she Question 3: Đáp án B Kiến thức thành ngữ feel off color = under the weather: không khỏe Tạm dịch: Sau vài ngày cảm thấy không khỏe, Tom cuối chịu bác sĩ Question 4: Đáp án B Dịch nghĩa: Nữ cảnh sát tiếng lịng can đảm ý chí mạnh mẽ => Theo cấu trúc: be famous for: tiếng Question 5: Đáp án B Kiến thức: từ trường nghĩa A injured: bị thương thể chất tai nạn giao thông, làm tổn thương đến cảm xúc cà tinh thân B wounded: bị thương ngồi da vũ khí chiến tranh hay bom đạn, bị xúc phạm C hurt : bị tổn thương thể xác D ached: bị đau đau phận thể sử dụng nhiều đến nó) Tạm dịch: Có 79 người tử vọng 230 người bị thương vụ nổ bom đại sứ quán Question 6: Đáp án B Dịch nghĩa: Mặc dù nhiều xác nhận thỏa thuận quốc tế quyền người họ, nữ giới nhiều nam giới số lượng nghèo mù chữ Xét đáp án: A Although + clause: B Despite + N/Ving: C Because + clause: D Since = because + clause: *Note: “affirming” danh động từ, có chức danh từ Ving, với “agreements” tạo thành cụm danh từ, cụm “many….rights” cụm danh từ hồn thiện, ta chọn B Question 7: Đáp án A *Theo quy tắc trật tự tính từ câu: OSASCOMP : great - Opinion; big - Size; ancient -A *Note: Buddhist temple (phr.n): đền tín đồ đạo Phật Tạm dịch: Lara tới ngơi đền tín đồ Phật cổ to đẹp tuần Question 8: Đáp án B A brought about: đem lại, gây B brought up: nuôi dưỡng, đề cập đến C brought off: giải việc khó D brought on: dẫn đến, gây + bring sb on = help someone to improve, especially through training or practice + bring on something = to cause something to happen, esp something bad Dịch nghĩa: Cuộc họp dường diễn tốt đẹp Sarah đề cập đến vấn đề trợ cấp ngày nghỉ Question 9: Đáp án B – Căn vào mệnh đề trạng ngữ thời gian: When S + V (quá khứ đơn), S + V (quá khứ tiếp diễn) ( Diễn tả hành động xảy có hành động khác xen vào) Vế chứa “when” chia khứ đơn => Vế cịn lại chia q khứ tiếp diễn – Dịch: Khi đến nhà cô tối qua, cô ăn tối Question 10: Đáp án B Kiến thức: Mệnh đề thời gian / Sự hịa hợp mệnh đề Giải thích: Mệnh đề chia tương lai => động từ mệnh đề thời gian chia (hiện đơn, hoàn thành) When +S+Vo/s/es +…, S+ will + Vo Loại đáp án A,C, sai thì, đáp D chưa nghĩa Question 11: Đáp án D Giải thích: take a break: nghỉ ngơi Dịch nghĩa: Chúng ta làm việc thật chăm Nghỉ ngơi thôi!

always manage to find their way home No matter how strong the cross-winds are, they never seem to get blown off course Now, however, biologists believe they have discovered their secret - by using radar to observe their flight patterns To so, they fitted bees with tiny electronic instruments, which enabled the scientists to track all their movements over several kilometres What this showed them was that bees seem to know exactly how far the wind is blowing them off course, and they react to this by adjusting their flight direction accordingly Aircraft pilots something similar, using computers to calculate wind speed and direction Bees, on the other hand, the same thing by checking the position of the sun and watching how the ground appears to be moving below them If the wind is affecting the way they are going, they change direction During this experiment, the researchers also discovered that the wind speed affects the height at which bees fly On windy days, it appears, bees flying in opposite direction to the wind tend to fly lower than usual This, they found, is because it normally blows more strongly higher up Bees flying in the same direction as the wind, however, can use this to save energy by flying at greater heights (Adapted from FCE Trainers by Peter May) Question 39: Which is the most suitable title for the passage?
