indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them Within the first month of their lives, babies' responses to the sound of the human voice will be different from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle At first, the sounds that an infant notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling inflections Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can influence babies' emotional states and behavior Long before they develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry, attempting to initiate or terminate new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of cues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult speech Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified syntax, short utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds In other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that are necessary if they are to acquire aural language Babies obviously derive pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to prosaic meaning that it often is for adults Question 52: Which of the following can be inferred about the findings described in paragraph 2? A Babies ignore facial expressions in comprehending aural language B Mothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways C Babies who are exposed to more than one language can speak earlier than babies exposed to a single language D The mothers observed by the researchers were consciously teaching their babies to speak Question 53: According to the author, why babies listen to songs and stories, even though they cannot understand them? A They can remember them easily B They focus on the meaning of their parents' word C They enjoy the sound D They understand the rhythm Question 54: The passage mentions all of the followings as the ways adults modify their speech when talking to babies EXCEPT A speaking with shorter sentences B giving all words equal emphasis C using meaningless sounds A speaking more loudly than normal Question 55: The word "diverse" is closest in meaning to A different B surrounding C stimulating D divided Question 56: The word "They" refers to A words B mothers C investigators D babies Question 57: Why does the author mention "a bell and a rattle"? A To contrast the reactions of babies to human and nonhuman sounds B To give examples of typical toys that babies not like C To explain how babies distinguish between different nonhuman sounds D To give examples of sounds that will cause a baby to cry Question 58: What does the passage mainly discuss? A The differences between a baby's and an adult's ability to comprehend language B How babies perceive and respond to the human voice in their earliest stages of language development C The response of babies to sounds other than the human voice D How babies differentiate between the sound of the human voice and other sounds Question 59: The word "emphasize" is closest in meaning to A stress B leave out C explain D repeat Question 60: What point does the author make to illustrate that babies are born with the ability to acquire language? A Babies exaggerate their own sounds and expressions B Babies begin to understand words in songs C Babies notice even minor differences between speech sounds D Babies are more sensitive to sounds than are adults Question 61: The word "noted" is closest in meaning to A requested B observed C theorized D disagreed Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions Question 62: A humidity B necessary C endangered D incredible Question 63: A economics B achievement C dependent D technology Question 64: A understand B expedition C electronic D insurance WRITING Part I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it Question 65: He was very sorry that he didn't see Andrey on her trip to London He greatly regretted Question 66: The plane had hardly left the airport when the accident happened No sooner _ Question 67: Although she said that she would come, I don’t think she ever will Despite _ Question 68: Most people think Nigel is the best racing driver in the world Nigel is considered Question 69: “Unless I receive her letter tomorrow, I’ll phone her,” said Nam Nam said that if _ Part II: In about 140 words, write a paragraph about the importance of family in your life The following prompt might be helpful to you - supporting us - sharing feelings, secrets, problems … - helping us improve our personality - THE END - ANSWER KEYS PHẦN TRẮC NGHIỆM (8 điểm) - Mã đề 132 Câu số 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 Đáp án B D C B C D C D C B D C D B A C D A B B A C Câu số 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 Đáp án B B C B B A B C D B A C B C B B B A D B D B Câu số 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 Đáp án A C C A B D B B C B A B A B A C B B A D PHẦN VIẾT (2 điểm) I (0,5 điểm) Question 65: He greatly regretted not seeing Andrey on her trip to London Question 66: I No sooner had the plane left the airport than the accident happened Question 67: Despite her saying that she would come, I don’t think she ever will Hoặc Despite the fact that she said that she would come, I don’t think she ever will Question 68: Nigel is considered to be the the best racing driver in the world Question 69: Nam said that if he didn’t receive her letter the next day/ the following day/ the day after, he would phone her II (1,5 điểm) Mô tả tiêu chí đánh giá Bố cục Điểm tối đa 0,04 o Câu đề dẫn chủ đề mạch lạc o Bố cục hợp lí rõ ràng phù hợp yêu cầu đề o Bố cục uyển chuyển từ mở đến kết luận Phát triển ý 0,25 o Phát triển ý có trình tự logic o Có dẫn chứng, ví dụ, … đủ để bảo vệ ý kiến Sử dụng ngôn từ 0,30 o Sử dụng ngôn từ phù hợp nội dung o Sử dụng ngôn từ văn phong/ thể loại o Sử dụng từ nối ý cho viết uyển chuyển Nội dung 0,30 o Đủ thuyết phục người đọc o Đủ dẫn chứng, ví dụ, lập luận o Độ dài: Số từ không nhiều so với quy định 5% Ngữ pháp, dấu câu, tả: 0,25 o Sử dụng dấu câu o Chính tả: Viết tả - Lỗi tả gây hiểu nhầm/ sai lệch ý bị tính lỗi (trừ 1% điểm viết) - Cùng lỗi tả lặp lại tính lỗi o Sử dụng thời, thể, cấu trúc câu ngữ pháp (Lỗi ngữ pháp gây hiểu nhầm/ sai lệch ý bị trừ 1% điểm viết.) Tổng 1,5 Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be fatal for non-adapted animals The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to rehydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst 36 What is the main topic of the passage?

A Drinking too much water very quickly B Drinking polluted water C Bacteria in water D Lack of water 43 What does the author imply about desert-adapted mammals?

perhaps we not realize just how useful this discovery has been Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently We use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity

fuels Question 41: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to A suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy B
