twelve thousand kilogrammes It carries a crew of six people and has an average speed of five knots However, once you get near to the Plastiki you realise there's a big difference It's made of twelve thousand five hundred re-used plastic bottles David de Rothschild is an environmentalist who has crossed Antarctica and explored the Ecuadorian Amazon One day he was reading some information about all the plastic in the seas and oceans He couldn't believe what he was reading For example, humans throw away four out of every five plastic bottles they use, and plastic rubbish causes about eighty per cent of the pollution in the sea In addition, scientists think that around one million seabirds die every year from plastic pollution De Rothschild decided he wanted to help fight pollution in the sea To help more people understand the problem, he started building a boat made of plastic bottles As well as building the boat with recycled plastic, it was important for him to make the boat environmentally friendly and user-friendly The boat uses renewable energy such as wind power and solar energy The crew can make meals with vegetables from the small garden at the back of the boat They can take a break from work and get some exercise by using the special exercise bicycle The energy from the bike provides power for the boat's computers And if anyone needs to take a shower, the boat's shower uses saltwater from the sea (Adapted from Life by John Hughes, Helen Stephenson and Paul Dummett) 39 Which could be the best title for the passage? A An Extraordinary Man B Life at Sea C The Problem of Plastic Bottles D A Boat with a Difference 40 The word they in paragraph refers to A scientists B humans C plastic bottles D seas and oceans 41 According to paragraph 2, De Rothschild was shocked when he A travelled between Antarctica and the Ecuadorian Amazon B read some information about plastic at seas and oceans C participated in an environmental campaign D built his first plastic boat 42 The word fight in paragraph is closest in meaning to A compete B divide C compare D tackle 43 Which of the following is TRUE about the Plastiki, according to the passage?

A The Prevalence of Modern Technology B People Get Cross by Being Watched All the Time!

A Cameras receive a message from RFID tags when someone holds an item with a tag B Some streets in London were equipped with CCTV cameras by the 1960s C The only place you are safe from surveillance is when you are at home D When you use the Internet, cookies exchange information with websites 50 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A Phone companies should be accused of intruding on their users’ privacy B Cameras to identify who committed crimes before weren’t developed in the past C People now gradually accept the existence of surveillance cameras in daily life D Technology in the Netherlands is more sophisticated than that in Britain ĐỀ THI THỬ TỐT NGHIỆP THPT 2023 Bài thi: NGOẠI NGỮ; Môn thi: TIẾNG ANH ĐỀ ĐỊNH KỲ THÁNG - 2023 Thời gian làm bài: 60 phút; 50 câu trắc nghiệm HƯỚNG DẪN GIẢI CHI TIẾT Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the other three in the position of the primary stress in each of the following questions A cancel B reject C divide D affect Giải thích: A cancel /ˈkỉnsl/ (v): hủy bỏ B reject /rɪˈdʒekt/ (v): từ chối C divide /dɪˈvaɪd/ (v): chia D affect /əˈfekt/ (v): ảnh hưởng Đáp án A có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất, đáp án lại trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai → Chọn đáp án A A dominant B attractive C cultural D colourful Giải thích: A dominant /ˈdɒmɪnənt/ (adj): chi phối B attractive /əˈtræktɪv/ (adj): hấp dẫn C cultural /ˈkʌltʃərəl/ (adj): văn hóa D colourful /ˈkʌləfl/ (adj): đầy màu sắc Đáp án B có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai, đáp án lại trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ → Chọn đáp án B Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions A story B show C cold D host Giải thích: A story /ˈstɔːri/ (n): câu chuyện B show /ʃəʊ/ (n): chương trình C cold /kəʊld/ (n): cảm lạnh D host /həʊst/ (n): chủ nhà Đáp án A có âm “o” phát âm /ɔː/, đáp án lại phát âm /əʊ/ → Chọn đáp án A A finished Giải thích: B produced C threatened D attacked A finished /ˈfɪnɪʃt/ (v): hoàn thành B produced /prəˈdjuːst/ (v): sản xuất C threatened /ˈθretnd/ (v): đe dọa D attacked /əˈtækt/ (v): cơng Đáp án C có âm “ed” phát âm /d/, đáp án lại phát âm /t/ → Chọn đáp án C Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions If with the opportunity to give a presentation, John will be able to show his great communication skills A provided B been provided C providing D to be provided Giải thích: Kiến thức rút gọn mệnh đề trạng ngữ: Câu gốc: If John is provided with the opportunity to give a presentation, he will be able to show his great communication skills Rút gọn mệnh đề có chủ ngữ, mệnh đề trạng ngữ thể bị động, nên ta rút gọn thành PII Tạm dịch: Nếu trao cho hội thuyết trình, John thể kỹ giao tiếp tuyệt vời → Chọn đáp án A There are some people having lunch in the cafeteria, _?
