Mã đề thi 978 Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau chọn phương án (A B, C, D) cho câu từ 36 đến 45 Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied Câu 36: Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because A people relied on reading for entertainment B there were few places available for private reading C few people could read to themselves D silent reading had not been discovered Câu 37: The word “commonplace” in the first paragraph mostly means “ ” A attracting attention B most preferable C widely used D for everybody’s use Câu 38: The development of silent reading during the last century indicated A a change in the nature of reading B an increase in the average age of readers C an increase in the number of books D a change in the status of literate people Câu 39: Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of A the development of libraries B the increase in literacy C the decreasing need to read aloud D the decreasing number of listeners Câu 40: It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an indication of A an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes B a decline of standards of literacy C a change in the readers’ interest D an improvement of printing techniques Câu 41: The phrase “a specialised readership” in paragraph mostly means “ ” A a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge B a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge C a status for readers specialised in mass media D a reading volume for particular professionals Câu 42: The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means “a person who ” A practises reading to an audience B is interested in spoken language C is good at public speaking D takes part in an audition Câu 43: All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy culture EXCEPT A the diversity of reading materials B the specialised readership C the inappropriate reading skills D the printed mass media Câu 44: Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

60 The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal Other solid materials such as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures Also, some substances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond together In order to bond together the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost electrons This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions The lost electrons are free to move in what is known as a sea of electrons Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure together An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a battery is connected to the metal Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity The only other common solid conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a pencil is made from) Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current Likewise, if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a current but only when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain not flow easily Water itself is a poor conductor of electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral) However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive By Helena Gillespie and Rob Gillespie Science for Primary School Teachers OUP Question 51: Electrical conductivity is A

charged ions are not free to move D it cannot create any charged ions Question 56: The word “they” in paragraph refers to A charged particles B electrical insulators C electric currents D charged ions Question 57: Water is a poor conductor because it contains A only a small amount of fully charged particles B only a negative electric charge C no positive or negative electric charge D only a
