Five minutes, folks Got your cameras? OK, here it comes Whether an American backpacker or a wealthy traveller, Danish, British, French, we all saw that sunset over Uluru, or Ayer Rock, in what seems to be the prescribed tourist manner: mouth full of corn chips, glass full of Château Somewhere, and a loved one posing in a photo's foreground, as the all-time No Australian icon behind us glowed briefly red Back on the coach, our guide declared our sunset to be 'pretty good', although not the best she'd witnessed in her six years Behind me, Adam, a student from Manchester, reinserted his iPod earphones: 'Well, that's enough of that rock.' Indeed Shattered from getting up at five in order to see Uluru at dawn, I felt empty and bored What was the point? What made this rock the definitive sunset rock event? Why had we come here? Well, I suppose my sons would remember it always Except they'd missed the magical moment while they checked out a rival tour group's snack table, which had better crisps So now I've visited four of the “25 Wonders of the World", as decreed by Rough Guides And I think this will be the last While in my heart I can see myself wondering enchanted through China's Forbidden City, in my head I know I would be standing grumpily at the back of a group listening to some Imperial Palace Tour Guide At the Grand Canyon I would be getting angr with tourists watching it through cameras – eyes are not good enough, since they lack a recording facility As we become richer and consumer goods are more widely affordable, and satisfy us only briefly before becoming obsolete, we turn to travel to provide us with 'experiences’ These will endure, set us apart from stay-at-home people and maybe, fill our lives with happiness and meaning, Books with helpful titles like 1,000 Places to See Before You Die are bestsellers I'd bet many backpacks on the Machu Picchu Inca Trail are filled with copies, with little tieks penciled in the margins after each must-see sight has been visited Travel is now the biggest industry on the planet, bigger than armaments or pharmaceuticals And yet viewing the main sight of any destination is rarely the highlight of a trip Mostly it sits there on your itinerary like a duty visit to a dull relative The guilt of not visiting the Sistine Chapel, because we preferred to stay in a bar drinking limoncello, almost spoilt a weekend in Rome In Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef reproached us How could we travel 15,000 miles without seeing it? How would we explain back home that we were too lazy, and preferred to stay playing a ball game in our hotel pool? In the end, we went to the reef and it was fine But it won't rank highly in the things I'll never forget about Australia Like the fact that the banknotes are made of waterproof plastic: how gloriously Australian is that? Even after a day's surfing, the $50 note you left in your surfing shorts is still OK to buy you beer! And the news item that during a recent tsunami warning, the surfers at Bondi Beach refused to leave the sea: what, and miss the ride of their lives? Or the stern warning at the hand luggage X-ray machine at Alice Springs airport: "No jokes must be made whilst being processed by this facility' - to forestall, no doubt, disrespectful Aussie comments: 'You won't find the bomb, mate It's in my suitcase.’ The more I travel, the clearer it seems that the truth of a place is in the tiny details of everyday life, not in its most glorious statues or scenery Put down your camera, throw away your list, the real wonders of the world number indefinitely more than 25 23 What did the author think or feel after seeing the sunset over Ayer Rock? A She thought it was pretty good B She felt exhausted, empty, and bored C She thought that was enough D She thought this rock was the definitive sunset rock event 24 Why does she think that Uluru is probably the last 'wonder of the world' she will see?

A books with helpful titles B books that are bestsellers C copies of must-see sights D little pencils 27 All of the following are mentioned in the article as memorable aspects of Australia EXCEPT A banknotes made of waterproof plastic B the fine visit to the Great Barrier Reef C the surfers at Bondi Beach refusing to leave the sea despite tsunami warning D the stern warning at the hand luggage X-ray machine at Alice Springs airport Read the following passage and write the letter T (True), F (False) or Not given (NG) to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions How to live independently is, probably, one of the questions that are most frequently asked by people, young and old According to experts, there are a number of steps that people who want to become independent should follow Below are some of them First, you should believe in yourself That is the first and most important condition to make others believe in you If you don't have faith in yourself, you will always turn to others for help every time you have to make a decision Believing in yourself will make you trust your own decisions, even if they completely go against someone else's Second, get your own information You should watch and read the news from different sources It's important to read as much as possible, whether it is literature or daily newspapers The information you get from reading will allow you to get both sides of every story before you form an opinion Being well-informed will keep you from being a follower and will lead to more independent thought Third, maintain solid friendships You don't have to reject people as friends to be independent .In fact, your independence is reinforced with good friends When your friend needs someone to talk to, be there for them, and listen to their problems with sympathetic and understanding attitude This way, you will not only help your friends, but their stories will help you to learn how to deal with similar situations that may come up to you later in your life 28 You should believe in yourself so that other people will help you when you have to make a decision 29 If you believe in yourself, you won't be afraid that your decisions are different from those of other people 30 You should watch and read news on both TV and the Internet _ 31 When you have a lot of information, you can think more independently _ 32 There are four steps to become independent D WRITING (2,0ms) I Rewrite sentences (1.0m) Combine the sentence, using to-infinitive clauses: 33 Linda joined career orientation extracurriculars at school She was the first person who did so Linda ……………………………………………………………………………………… Rewrite these sentences, using perfect participle claues: 34 After they listened to an introduction of the course, they asked a lot of questions Having ……………………………………………………………………………………… 35.My brother finished school Then he went to a university to continue her education path ………………………………………………………………………………………………… Rewrite following sentence, using cleft sentences focusing on the underlined parts 36 My sister gets 50 dollars every week by doing household chores around the house It……………………………………………………………………………………………… II Write a paragraph (1m) Write a paragraph (150 – 180 words) about pros and cons of self-study Use the idea below to help you Pros Cons - Self-study gives learners more freedom - Learners need more time to learn things - Learners become responsible - Learners may not develop certain life skills - Self-study makes learners confident - Learners may not learn practical skils …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… END - SỞ GD&ĐT……… TRƯỜNG THPT…………… ĐỀ KIỂM TRA GIỮA HỌC KÌ II – ĐỀ MÔN TIẾNG ANH – LỚP 11 Thời gian làm bài: 60 phút (không kể thời gian phát đề) Họ tên:………………………………………………………… Lớp:…………………… Điểm: A LISTENING (2,0ms) Part 1: Listen to an interview about a visit to the Pyramids of Giza, a World Heritage Site and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) What does Gordon say about his visit to the Great Pyramid of the Pharaoh Khufu?

passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions Studying overseas is an experience that is exciting, rewarding, and challenging Students that choose to study abroad undergo a significant transition that requires a great deal of sacrifice, adaptability, and determination While studying overseas presents a great opportunity for students to learn about different cultures, learn new languages, and experience new things, it is not without challenges, and several factors can affect a student's ability to cope with and overcome these obstacles One of the biggest challenges of studying overseas is the issue of language barrier Unless the student is studying in an English-speaking country, they are likely to encounter difficulties with communication and comprehension The language barrier can make basic tasks such as ordering food and navigating through the local area difficult, and can potentially be a huge obstacle to academic success To overcome this challenge, many students take language courses or enroll in language programs to learn the language spoken in their host country This helps them to communicate more effectively, make friends, and become more independent Another challenge that students face when studying overseas is culture shock Culture shock can occur when students encounter customs, beliefs, and ways of life that are different from those they are accustomed to This can make students feel disoriented, isolated, and homesick To cope with culture shock, it is important for students to keep an open mind, learn about the local culture, and immerse themselves in social activities Financial constraints can also pose a challenge to overseas study Studying abroad can be expensive, and students must be prepared to meet the financial demands of overseas education Tuition fees, living expenses, travel expenses, and other costs can add up quickly, and it is important for students to have a realistic budget and financial assistance where necessary Additionally, logistics issues such as visas, flights, and accommodation can also present challenges to studying overseas These activities can be time-consuming and stressful, and students must be prepared to research, plan, and navigate through these processes In conclusion, studying overseas can present a plethora of benefits to students, but also several challenges Language barriers, culture shock, financial constraints, and logistics issues are just some of the challenges that students face when studying overseas To cope with and overcome these obstacles, students must be resilient, adaptable and willing to learn With the right support and attitude, studying overseas can be a life-changing experience that shapes an individual's personal and professional growth 23 What is the main focus of the passage?
