A The destruction of wetlands B The flooding of cities C A more diverse marine population D Severe storms Question 49 According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the Earth’s climate? A Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures cause the ice melt B The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too much carbon stored in the Earth’s crust C Rain causes carbon dioxide to be washed out of the atmosphere and into the ocean D An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in the warming of the climate Question 50 The word “this” in the third paragraph refers to A man’s upsetting the equation B the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide C a volcanic eruption D the melting of the polar ice caps Question 51 The word “inhospitable” is closest in meaning to A imperfect B uninhabitable C unlikable D cruel Truy cập http://www.moon.vn để xem lời giải video đầy đủ và chi tiết của đề thi Page|4 KHÓA LUYỆN GIẢI ĐỀ THPT MÔN TIẾNG ANH - Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG Question 52 It can be inferred from the passage that the development of agriculture A preceded the development of animal husbandry B withstood vast changes in the Earth’s climate C did not take place during an ice age D was unaffected by the greenhouse effect Question 53 The word “massive” can be replaced to A wide B huge C dense D thick Question 54 What is the main topic of the passage?

A Jane Austen’s life and work B American literature and novels C The attraction of Jane Austen’s novels D Jane Austen and Shakespeare Question 56 We can infer from the passage that most literary critics would admire Austen’s work for all of the following EXCEPT A her insights into human nature B her revelation of universal truths C her humor D the realism of her plot Question 57 The word “courtship” in line 5 most closely means A flirtation B friendship C love D comradeship Truy cập http://www.moon.vn để xem lời giải video đầy đủ và chi tiết của đề thi Page|5 KHÓA LUYỆN GIẢI ĐỀ THPT MÔN TIẾNG ANH - Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG Question 58 The author compares Austen’s novels to Shakespeare’s comedies primarily in order to A establish Austen’s literary stature B emphasize the wit that both authors displayed C discuss the role of women in literature D illustrate how each author developed characters Question 59 The author of this passage appears to respect Jane Austen mostly for A her universality of appeal B the great variety of her plots C her lack of irony D her treatment of important historic events Question 60 The author claims that Austen’s work resembles Shakespeare’s comedies in that both writers A placed stock characters to complex situations B placed more emphasis on setting than plot C worked to create an awareness of women’s political inequality D created complex characters within restricted plots Question 61 You can infer from the sentence that begins “This element in itself ” that the author believes which of the following?

And he took his attitude of getting close to the action to an extreme His photograph, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a prime example of this as Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls However, many have questioned the authenticity of this photograph, claiming that it was staged 4 When World war II broke out, Capa was in New York, but he was soon back in Europe covering the war for Life magazine Some of his most famous work was created on 6th June 1944 when he swam ashore with the first assault on Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy Capa, armed only with two cameras, took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the landing, but a mistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames It was the images from these frames however that inspired the visual style of Steven Spielberg's Oscar winning movie ‘Saving Private Ryan’ When Life magazine published the photographs, they claimed that they were slightly out of focus, and Capa later used this as the title of his autobiographical account of the war 5 Capa’s private life was no less dramatic He was friend to many of Hollywood’s directors, actors and actresses In 1943 he fell in love with the wife of actor John Austin His affair with her lasted until the end of the war and became the subject of his war memoirs He was at one time lover to actress Ingrid Bergman Their relationship finally ended in 1946 when he refused to settle in Hollywood and went off to Turkey 6 In 1947 Capa was among a group of photojournalists who founded Magnum Photos This was a cooperative organisation set up to support photographers and help them to retain ownership of the copyright to their work 7 Capa went on to document many other wars He never attempted to glamorise war though, but to record the horror He once said, "The desire of any war photographer is to be put out of business." 8 Capa died as he had lived After promising not to photograph any more wars, he accepted an assignment to go to Indochina to cover the first Indochina war On May 25th 1954 Capa was accompanying a French regiment when he left his jeep to take some photographs of the advance and stepped on a land mine He was taken to a nearby hospital, still clutching his camera, but was pronounced dead on arrival He left behind him a testament to the horrors of war and a standard for photojournalism that few others have been able to reach 9 Capa’s legacy has lived on through and in 1966 his brother Cornell founded the International Fund for Concerned Photography in his honor There is also a Robert Capa Gold Medal, which is given to the photographer who publishes the best photographic reporting from abroad with evidence of exceptional courage But perhaps his greatest legacy of all is the haunting images of the human struggles that he captured.Top of Form Question 55: Why did Capa change his name?

Why, aside from a propensity for narcissism, was Hooker so confident? Hooker had used spies, analysts, and even hot air balloons to compile a vast amount of intelligence about Lee’s army He had discerned, for example, that Lee had only 61,000 men to Hooker’s own 134,000 Buoyed by his superior numbers, Hooker covertly moved 70,000 of his men fifteen miles up and across the river, and then ordered them to sneak back down to position themselves behind Lee’s army In effect, Hooker had cut off the Confederate soldiers in front and behind They were trapped Satisfied with his advantage, Hooker became convinced that Lee’s only option was to retreat to Richmond, thus assuring a Union victory Yet Lee, despite his disadvantages of both numbers and position, did not retreat Instead, he moved his troops into position to attack Union soldiers who tried to warn Hooker that Lee was on the offensive were dismissed as cowards Having become convinced that Lee had no choice but to retreat, Hooker began to ignore reality When Lee’s army attacked the Union soldiers at 5:00 p.m., they were eating supper, completely unprepared for battle They abandoned their rifles and fled as Lee’s troops came shrieking out of the brush, bayonets drawn Against all odds, Lee won the Battle of Chancellorsville, and Hooker’s forces withdrew in defeat Question 55 Based on information in the text, it can be concluded that Hooker lost the Battle of Chancellorsville mostly because of his A ignorance B overconfidence C vanity D faulty information Question 56 The contrast drawn between Lee and Hooker in paragraph 2 is intended to A prove that two men with very different values could end up in similar positions of power B provide support for the idea that Lee was a more virtuous person than Hooker, and therefore a better military commander C imply that these men fundamentally differed in their approaches to nearly everything, including battle D showcase the different backgrounds and personal histories of these two enemy soldiers Question 57 In paragraph 3, the author quotes Hooker as saying, “My plans are perfect And when I start to carry them out, may God have mercy on Bobby Lee, for I shall have none.” The author most likely includes this quote in order to A provide an example of the way language has changed since 1863 B foreshadow Hooker’s defeat at the hands of Lee’s army C reveal that Hooker was a deeply religious man in spite of his lifestyle D demonstrate Hooker’s belief in his own infallibility Question 58 Based on its use in paragraph 3, it can be inferred that the word propensity belongs to which of the following word groups? A tendency, inclination, predisposition B distaste, aversion, dissatisfaction C flaw, fault, shortcoming D fondness, partiality, affection Question 59 How many men did Hooker position behind Lee's army? A 134,000 B 61,000 C 73,000 D 70,000 Question 60 As used in paragraph 4, buoyed most nearly means A heartened B floated C anchored D strengthened Question 61 According to the author, Hooker’s advantages going into the Battle of Chancellorsville included A numbers and position only B position only C numbers, position and strategy D position and strategy only Question 62 As used in paragraph 4, buoyed most nearly means A vivid details B specific examples C sensory words D dialogue Truy cập http://www.moon.vn để xem lời giải video đầy đủ và chi tiết của đề thi Page|5 KHÓA LUYỆN GIẢI ĐỀ THPT MÔN TIẾNG ANH - Cô VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG Question 63 If this passage were to continue, which of the following would most likely be the first sentence of the next paragraph? A Upon returning to camp, the triumphant Lee immediately ordered for supplies to be brought up and provisions made for a raucous victory celebration B Wounded in both body and spirit, Hooker and his severely diminished forces retreated to higher ground where they proceeded to reload their weapons and prepare for a counter attack C In all his days of fighting, Hooker had never been met with such surprise and opposition; he took to solemn contemplation of the events that had transpired as well as the lessons he might learn from them D Not one to gloat over his success, Lee remarked that the victory had been the product of valiant fighting and good luck, as he began to map out strategies for their next move Question 64 The word “devout” is closest in meaning to A passive B committed C delight D diligent WRITING (THÍ SINH LÀM PHẦN NÀY VÀO MẶT SAU CỦA PHIẾU TRẮC NGHIỆM) 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: Mosquitoes cause malaria and this is well-known → That……………………………………………………………………………………………………… Question 66: It is better to wear out than rust out → To rush out……………………………………………………………………………………………… Question 67: ‘So sorry!
