The most accepted theory about the origin of the Moon is that it was formed of debris from a massive collision with young Earth about million years ago A huge body, perhaps the size of Mars, struck the Earth, throwing out an immense amount of debris that coalesced and cooled in orbit around the Earth The development of the Earth is inextricably linked to the Moon; The Moon's gravitational influence upon the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides In fact, the Moon has more than twice the effects upon the tides than does the Sun The Moon marks one rotation and completes a revolution around the Earth every 27 days, hours and 43 minutes This synchronous rotation is caused by an uneven distribution of mass in the Moon (especially, it is heavier on one side than the other) and has allowed the Earth's gravity to keep one side of the Moon permanently facing the Earth It is an average distance from the Earth of 384,403 km The Moon has no atmosphere Without an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to protect it from meteorite impacts, and thus the surface of the Moon is covered with impact craters, both large and small The Moon also has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so the erosive effects of atmospheric weathering, tectonic shifts and volcanic upheavals that tend to erase and reform the Earth's surface are not at work on the Moon In fact, even tiny surface features such as the footprints left by an astronaut in the lunar soil are likely to last for millions of years, unless obliterated by a chance meteorite strike The surface gravity of the Moon is about one- sixth that of the Earth The geographical features of the Earth most like those of the Moon are, in fact, places such as the Hawaiian volcanic craters and the huge meteor crater in Arizona The climate of the Moon is very unlike either Hawaii or Arizona, though In fact the temperature on the Moon ranges between 123 degrees C to - 233 degrees C Question 36 The word "uneven" is closest in meaning to A heavier B orderly C equally D unequally Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 163 Question 37 The word "erase" can be replaced by A change B erupt C impact D obliterate Question 38 The word "debris" is closest in meaning to _ A Moons B satellite C rubbish D Earth Question 39 Why does the author mention "impact craters" ? A To show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic and volcanic activity B To show the result of the Moon not having atmosphere C To explain why the Moon has no life D To explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric weathering Question 40 Which of the followings can be inferred from the passage? A People living in Hawaii and Arizona would feel at home on the moon B If the Moon had no gravitation influence, the Earth wouldn't have tides C The Moon is not able to support human life D Mars could have been formed in a similar way to Moon Question 41 According to the passage, the Moon is _ A the primary cause of the Earth's tides B composed of a few active volcanoes C protected by a dense atmosphere D older than the Earth Question 42 The word "immense" can be replaced by A dense B huge C impressive D small Question 43 All of the following about the Moon are true EXCEPT A it is unable to protect itself from meteor attacks B It has less effects upon the tides than the Sun C It has a wide range of temperature D It is heavier on one side than the other Question 44 What is the passage mainly about? A What we know about the Moon and its differences to the Earth B The Moon's effects on the Earth C The origin of the Moon D A comparison of the Moon and the Earth Question 45 It can be inferred from the passage that a man weighing 82 kilograms on Earth would _ A weigh about 490 kilograms on the Moon B outweigh on the Moon C weigh approximately 14 kilograms on the Moon D weigh nearly as much as on the Moon Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences in the following questions Question 46 The Moon doesn't have the atmosphere The planet Mars doesn't either A Neither the Moon or the planet Mars has the atmosphere B Either the Moon or the planet Mars has the atmosphere C Either the Moon nor the planet Mars has the atmosphere D Neither the Moon nor the planet Mars has the atmosphere Question 47 The film star wore dark glasses She didn't want to be recognized in public A The film star was not recognized in public because she wore dark glasses B The film star wore dark glasses to avoid being recognized in public C In spite of wearing dark glasses, the film star was recognized in public D So as to be recognized in public, the film star wore dark glasses Question 48 I listened to Joe patently until he started insulting me At this point, I told him a few home truths A I told Joe a few home truths, by which time he started insulting me patiently B I listened to Joe patiently until he started insulting me, in this case I told him a few home truths C I told Joe a few home truths after listening to him insulting me patiently D I listened to Joe patiently until he started insulting me, at which point I told him a few home truths Question 49 Some wooden beams hold up the roof They have been damaged A Some wooden beams holding up the roof have been damaged B The roof damaged holds up some wooden beams C Some wooden beams damaging hold up the roof D The roof held up damaged some wooden beams Question 50 Sheila put on sun cream she still got burnt, though A Sheila had got burnt, so she put on sun cream B Although Sheila got burnt, she put on sun cream C Even though she'd put on sun cream, Sheila got burnt D Sheila got burnt because she'd put on sun cream Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 163 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks An air pollution is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous changes When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled- a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm Question 51 The word "detectable " is closest in meaning to _ A special B separable C beneficial D measurable Question 52 The word "localized " is closest in meaning to _ A specified B circled C encircled D surrounded Question 53 The word "these" in the second paragraph refers to A the compounds moved to the water or soil B the various chemical reactions C the pollutants from the developing Earth D the components in biogeochemical cycles Question 54 According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if A the other substances in the area are known B it can be calculated quickly C it is in a localized area D the natural level is also known Question 55 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that A the definition of air pollution will continue to change B water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas C Most pollutants today can be seen or smelled D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities Question 56 According to the passage, human- generated air pollution in localized regions A will react harmfully with natural pollutants B can overwhelm the natural system removing pollutants C will damage area outside of the localized regions D can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants Question 57 The word "adversely " is closest in meaning to _ A considerably B quickly C admittedly D negatively Question 58 Which of the following is best supported by the passage? A Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants B Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution C One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws D To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws Question 59 For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling air pollution? A They have existed since the Earth developed B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants C They're less harmful to living beings than other pollutants D They function as part of a purification process Question 60 What does the passage mainly discuss? A The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere B The economic impact of air pollution C What constitutes an air pollutant D How much harm air pollutants can cause Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 163 Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions Question 61 Exhaustion prevented any of the runners from finishing the race A The runners can't finish the race as a result of their exhaustion B The runners are so exhausted that they can't finish the race C The runners were not exhausted enough to finish the race D So exhausted were the runners that none of them finished the race Question 62 Derek is quite a bit more adventurous than his sister, Annabelle A Annabelle is considerable more adventurous than her brother, Derek B Annabelle isn't as nearly adventurous as her brother, Derek C Derek isn't so nearly adventurous as his sister, Annabelle D Annabelle isn't nearly as adventurous as her brother, Derek Question 63 No one except for Jake has ever beaten me at the game of chess A I am the only person who has ever beaten Jake in the game of chess B I have ever beaten everyone except for Jake at the game of chess C Jake is the only one ever to beat me at the game of chess D No one but Jake has ever been beaten at the game of chess Question 64 The management said that it was important for us to wear dark suits to the meeting A The management insists that we wear dark suits to the meeting B The management insisted on our wearing dark suits to the meeting C The management insisted that we wore dark suits to the meeting D The management insisted us to wear dark suits to the meeting Question 65 My mother said to my brother " It was you and only you who stole the cake from the fridge" A My mother was accused of stealing the cake from the bridge B My brother was accused of stealing the cake form the fridge C My brother accused my mother of having stolen the cake from the bridge D My mother admitted having stolen the cake from the fridge Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks, from question 66 to 75 Polar bears are in danger of dying out (66) _ some other endangered animals, it's not hunters that are the problem, it's climate change Since 1979, the ice cap at the Arctic Circle where the polar bears has reduced in size (67) _ about 30 per cent The temperature in the Arctic has slowly been (68) _ and this is (69) _ the sea ice to melt, endangering the polar bears' home The polar bears' main (70) _ of food are the different types of seals found in the Arctic They catch them by waiting next to the air holes seals have (71) _ in the ice (72) _ the bears are very strong swimmers, they could never catch seals in water This means that the bears really rely on the ice to hunt Polar bears also need sea ice to travel They can (73) _ a huge territory and often swim from one part of the ice to another They have been (74) _ to swim up to 100 km, but when there is less ice, they may have to swim further and this can (75) _ fatal to the bears A number of bears have drown in the last few years and scientists believe that it is because they were not able to reach more ice before they became too tired and couldn't swim any further Question 66 A Different B Compared C Opposite D Unlike Question 67 A for B by C in D within Question 68 A lifting B gaining C rising D advancing Question 69 A causing B resulting C making D turning Question 70 A origins B materials C means D sources Question 71 A set B placed C made D brought Question 72 A Although B As C Despite D Even Question 73 A spread B cover C pass D extend Question 74 A known B experienced C learnt D noticed Question 75 A prove B end C come D happen Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the rest in the position of the main stress in each of the following questions Question 76 A vacant B oblige C equip D ensure Question 77 A interview B inheritance C comfortable D dynamism Question 78 A influential B punctuality C representative D character Question 79 A prevention B complements C frequently D fertilize Question 80 A accompany B effectiveness C communicate D satisfaction -

Mã đề: 163 However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm Question 66 The word "localized " is closest in meaning to _ A specified B circled C encircled D surrounded Question 67 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws B Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution C Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants D One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws Question 71 For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling air pollution? A They function as part of a purification process B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants C They have existed since the Earth developed D They're less harmful to living beings than other pollutants Question 72 The word "detectable " is closest in meaning to _ A measurable B beneficial C special D separable Question 73 The word "these" in the second paragraph refers to A the components in biogeochemical cycles B the various chemical reactions C the compounds moved to the water or soil D the pollutants from the developing Earth Question 74 The word "adversely " is closest in meaning to _ A quickly B admittedly C negatively D considerably Question 75 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that A Most pollutants today can be seen or smelled B a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities C the definition of air pollution will continue to change D water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction Question 76 It is an opportunity for all family members to gather, exchange wishes, and having dinner together A B C D Question 77 When coming back, I saw that the shirt I wanted to buy had sold A B C D Question 78 Anthropologists agree that our primitive ancestors who inhabited the tropics probably have natural protection against the sun A B C D Question 79 Mrs Barnes, who was so proud of her new car, drove to work when the accident happened and damaged her car A B C D Question 80 Champagne is a traditional beverage to serve on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day A B C D - THE END Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 163 SỞ GD - ĐT HÀ TĨNH TRƯỜNG THPT HỒNG LAM (Đề thi gồm5 trang) ĐỀ THI THỬ ĐẠI HỌC LẦN I - NĂM HỌC 2012-2013 MÔN: TIẾNG ANH (Thời gian làm bài: 90 phút, không kể thời gian giao đề ) Họ tên thí sinh: Số báo danh: ĐỀ THI GỒM CÓ 80 QUESTION (TỪ QUESTION ĐẾN QUESTION 80) Mã đề: 231 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks The Moon has been worshipped by primitive people and has inspired humans to create everything from lunar calendars to love sonnets, but what we really know about it? The most accepted theory about the origin of the Moon is that it was formed of debris from a massive collision with young Earth about million years ago A huge body, perhaps the size of Mars, struck the Earth, throwing out an immense amount of debris that coalesced and cooled in orbit around the Earth The development of the Earth is inextricably linked to the Moon; The Moon's gravitational influence upon the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides In fact, the Moon has more than twice the effects upon the tides than does the Sun The Moon marks one rotation and completes a revolution around the Earth every 27 days, hours and 43 minutes This synchronous rotation is caused by an uneven distribution of mass in the Moon (especially, it is heavier on one side than the other) and has allowed the Earth's gravity to keep one side of the Moon permanently facing the Earth It is an average distance from the Earth of 384,403 km The Moon has no atmosphere Without an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to protect it from meteorite impacts, and thus the surface of the Moon is covered with impact craters, both large and small The Moon also has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so the erosive effects of atmospheric weathering, tectonic shifts and volcanic upheavals that tend to erase and reform the Earth's surface are not at work on the Moon In fact, even tiny surface features such as the footprints left by an astronaut in the lunar soil are likely to last for millions of years, unless obliterated by a chance meteorite strike The surface gravity of the Moon is about one- sixth that of the Earth The geographical features of the Earth most like those of the Moon are, in fact, places such as the Hawaiian volcanic craters and the huge meteor crater in Arizona The climate of the Moon is very unlike either Hawaii or Arizona, though In fact the temperature on the Moon ranges between 123 degrees C to - 233 degrees C Question Why does the author mention "impact craters" ? A To explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric weathering B To show the result of the Moon not having atmosphere C To show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic and volcanic activity D To explain why the Moon has no life Question According to the passage, the Moon is _ A composed of a few active volcanoes B protected by a dense atmosphere C the primary cause of the Earth's tides D older than the Earth Question What is the passage mainly about? A A comparison of the Moon and the Earth B What we know about the Moon and its differences to the Earth C The origin of the Moon D The Moon's effects on the Earth Question The word "debris" is closest in meaning to _ A Earth B rubbish C satellite D Moons Question All of the following about the Moon are true EXCEPT A It has a wide range of temperature B It has less effects upon the tides than the Sun C It is heavier on one side than the other D it is unable to protect itself from meteor attacks Question The word "erase" can be replaced by A change B impact C obliterate D erupt Question The word "uneven" is closest in meaning to A unequally B orderly C equally D heavier Question The word "immense" can be replaced by A impressive B small C dense D huge Question It can be inferred from the passage that a man weighing 82 kilograms on Earth would _ A weigh about 490 kilograms on the Moon B weigh nearly as much as on the Moon C outweigh on the Moon D weigh approximately 14 kilograms on the Moon Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 163 Question 10 Which of the followings can be inferred from the passage?

The most accepted theory about the origin of the Moon is that it was formed of debris from a massive collision with young Earth about million years ago A huge body, perhaps the size of Mars, struck the Earth, throwing out an immense amount of debris that coalesced and cooled in orbit around the Earth The development of the Earth is inextricably linked to the Moon; The Moon's gravitational influence upon the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides In fact, the Moon has more than twice the effects upon the tides than does the Sun The Moon marks one rotation and completes a revolution around the Earth every 27 days, hours and 43 minutes This synchronous rotation is caused by an uneven distribution of mass in the Moon (especially, it is heavier on one side than the other) and has allowed the Earth's gravity to keep one side of the Moon permanently facing the Earth It is an average distance from the Earth of 384,403 km The Moon has no atmosphere Without an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to protect it from meteorite impacts, and thus the surface of the Moon is covered with impact craters, both large and small The Moon also has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so the erosive effects of atmospheric weathering, tectonic shifts and volcanic upheavals that tend to erase and reform the Earth's surface are not at work on the Moon In fact, even tiny surface features such as the footprints left by an astronaut in the lunar soil are likely to last for millions of years, unless obliterated by a chance meteorite strike The surface gravity of the Moon is about one- sixth that of the Earth The geographical features of the Earth most like those of the Moon are, in fact, places such as the Hawaiian volcanic craters and the huge meteor crater in Arizona The climate of the Moon is very unlike either Hawaii or Arizona, though In fact the temperature on the Moon ranges between 123 degrees C to - 233 degrees C Question 51 According to the passage, the Moon is _ A the primary cause of the Earth's tides B protected by a dense atmosphere C older than the Earth D composed of a few active volcanoes Question 52 Which of the followings can be inferred from the passage? A Mars could have been formed in a similar way to Moon B If the Moon had no gravitation influence, the Earth wouldn't have tides C The Moon is not able to support human life D People living in Hawaii and Arizona would feel at home on the moon Question 53 The word "immense" can be replaced by A impressive B small C huge D dense Question 54 All of the following about the Moon are true EXCEPT A It has less effects upon the tides than the Sun B It is heavier on one side than the other C It has a wide range of temperature D it is unable to protect itself from meteor attacks Question 55 The word "uneven" is closest in meaning to A unequally B equally C orderly D heavier Question 56 It can be inferred from the passage that a man weighing 82 kilograms on Earth would _ A outweigh on the Moon B weigh approximately 14 kilograms on the Moon C weigh about 490 kilograms on the Moon D weigh nearly as much as on the Moon Question 57 What is the passage mainly about? A What we know about the Moon and its differences to the Earth B The Moon's effects on the Earth C The origin of the Moon D A comparison of the Moon and the Earth Question 58 Why does the author mention "impact craters" ? A To show the result of the Moon not having atmosphere B To explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric weathering C To show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic and volcanic activity Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 163 D To explain why the Moon has no life Question 59 The word "erase" can be replaced by A erupt B change C impact Question 60 The word "debris" is closest in meaning to _ A Moons B rubbish C satellite D obliterate D Earth Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences in the following questions Question 61 I listened to Joe patently until he started insulting me At this point, I told him a few home truths A I told Joe a few home truths after listening to him insulting me patiently B I listened to Joe patiently until he started insulting me, in this case I told him a few home truths C I listened to Joe patiently until he started insulting me, at which point I told him a few home truths D I told Joe a few home truths, by which time he started insulting me patiently Question 62 The Moon doesn't have the atmosphere The planet Mars doesn't either A Either the Moon nor the planet Mars has the atmosphere B Neither the Moon nor the planet Mars has the atmosphere C Neither the Moon or the planet Mars has the atmosphere D Either the Moon or the planet Mars has the atmosphere Question 63 Sheila put on sun cream she still got burnt, though A Sheila got burnt because she'd put on sun cream B Although Sheila got burnt, she put on sun cream C Even though she'd put on sun cream, Sheila got burnt D Sheila had got burnt, so she put on sun cream Question 64 The film star wore dark glasses She didn't want to be recognized in public A So as to be recognized in public, the film star wore dark glasses B In spite of wearing dark glasses, the film star was recognized in public C The film star wore dark glasses to avoid being recognized in public D The film star was not recognized in public because she wore dark glasses Question 65 Some wooden beams hold up the roof They have been damaged A Some wooden beams damaging hold up the roof B Some wooden beams holding up the roof have been damaged C The roof held up damaged some wooden beams D The roof damaged holds up some wooden beams Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions Question 66 Derek is quite a bit more adventurous than his sister, Annabelle A Annabelle isn't nearly as adventurous as her brother, Derek B Derek isn't so nearly adventurous as his sister, Annabelle C Annabelle is considerable more adventurous than her brother, Derek D Annabelle isn't as nearly adventurous as her brother, Derek Question 67 Exhaustion prevented any of the runners from finishing the race A The runners can't finish the race as a result of their exhaustion B The runners were not exhausted enough to finish the race C So exhausted were the runners that none of them finished the race D The runners are so exhausted that they can't finish the race Question 68 My mother said to my brother " It was you and only you who stole the cake from the fridge" A My brother accused my mother of having stolen the cake from the bridge B My brother was accused of stealing the cake form the fridge C My mother was accused of stealing the cake from the bridge D My mother admitted having stolen the cake from the fridge Question 69 The management said that it was important for us to wear dark suits to the meeting A The management insisted us to wear dark suits to the meeting B The management insists that we wear dark suits to the meeting C The management insisted that we wore dark suits to the meeting D The management insisted on our wearing dark suits to the meeting Question 70 No one except for Jake has ever beaten me at the game of chess A No one but Jake has ever been beaten at the game of chess B I have ever beaten everyone except for Jake at the game of chess C I am the only person who has ever beaten Jake in the game of chess D Jake is the only one ever to beat me at the game of chess Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 163 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks An air pollution is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous changes When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled- a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm Question 71 What does the passage mainly discuss? A The economic impact of air pollution B What constitutes an air pollutant C How much harm air pollutants can cause D The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere Question 72 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that A Most pollutants today can be seen or smelled B the definition of air pollution will continue to change C water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities Question 73 For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling air pollution? A They have existed since the Earth developed B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants C They're less harmful to living beings than other pollutants D They function as part of a purification process Question 74 According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if A it is in a localized area B it can be calculated quickly C the other substances in the area are known D the natural level is also known Question 75 Which of the following is best supported by the passage? A To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws B One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws C Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution D Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants Question 76 The word "detectable " is closest in meaning to _ A measurable B special C beneficial D separable Question 77 The word "these" in the second paragraph refers to A the pollutants from the developing Earth B the compounds moved to the water or soil C the various chemical reactions D the components in biogeochemical cycles Question 78 According to the passage, human- generated air pollution in localized regions A will react harmfully with natural pollutants B will damage area outside of the localized regions C can overwhelm the natural system removing pollutants D can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants Question 79 The word "adversely " is closest in meaning to _ A considerably B quickly C negatively D admittedly Question 80 The word "localized " is closest in meaning to _ A surrounded B circled C encircled D specified - THE END -Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 163 PHIẾU TRẢ LỜI TRẮC NGHIỆM Học sinh ý : - Giữ cho phiếu phẳng, không bôi bẩn, làm rách.- Phải ghi đầy đủ mục theo hướng dẫn - Dùng bút chì đen tơ kín trịn mục Số báo danh, Mã đề trước làm Phần trả lời : Số thứ tự Question trả lời ứng với số thứ tự Question trắc nghiệm đề Đối với Question trắc nghiệm, học sinh chọn tơ kín trịn tương ứng với phương án trả lời 01 ; / = ~ 21 ; / = ~ 41 ; / = ~ 61 ; / = ~ 02 ; / = ~ 22 ; / = ~ 42 ; / = ~ 62 ; / = ~ 03 ; / = ~ 23 ; / = ~ 43 ; / = ~ 63 ; / = ~ 04 ; / = ~ 24 ; / = ~ 44 ; / = ~ 64 ; / = ~ 05 ; / = ~ 25 ; / = ~ 45 ; / = ~ 65 ; / = ~ 06 ; / = ~ 26 ; / = ~ 46 ; / = ~ 66 ; / = ~ 07 ; / = ~ 27 ; / = ~ 47 ; / = ~ 67 ; / = ~ 08 ; / = ~ 28 ; / = ~ 48 ; / = ~ 68 ; / = ~ 09 ; / = ~ 29 ; / = ~ 49 ; / = ~ 69 ; / = ~ 10 ; / = ~ 30 ; / = ~ 50 ; / = ~ 70 ; / = ~ 11 ; / = ~ 31 ; / = ~ 51 ; / = ~ 71 ; / = ~ 12 ; / = ~ 32 ; / = ~ 52 ; / = ~ 72 ; / = ~ 13 ; / = ~ 33 ; / = ~ 53 ; / = ~ 73 ; / = ~ 14 ; / = ~ 34 ; / = ~ 54 ; / = ~ 74 ; / = ~ 15 ; / = ~ 35 ; / = ~ 55 ; / = ~ 75 ; / = ~ 16 ; / = ~ 36 ; / = ~ 56 ; / = ~ 76 ; / = ~ 17 ; / = ~ 37 ; / = ~ 57 ; / = ~ 77 ; / = ~ 18 ; / = ~ 38 ; / = ~ 58 ; / = ~ 78 ; / = ~ 19 ; / = ~ 39 ; / = ~ 59 ; / = ~ 79 ; / = ~ 20 ; / = ~ 40 ; / = ~ 60 ; / = ~ 80 ; / = ~ Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 163 SỞ GD - ĐT HÀ TĨNH TRƯỜNG THPT HỒNG LAM (Đề thi gồm5 trang) ĐÁP ÁN THI THỬ ĐẠI HỌC LẦN I - NĂM HỌC 2012-2013 MÔN: TIẾNG ANH (Thời gian làm bài: 90 phút, không kể thời gian giao đề ) MĐ 163 MĐ 163 MĐ 197 MĐ 197 MĐ 231 MĐ 231 MĐ 265 MĐ 265 01.D 02.D 03.D 04.A 05.B 06.C 07.A 08.C 09.B 10.B 11.C 12.D 13.C 14.C 15.C 16.A 17.C 18.B 19.A 20.A 21.D 22.B 23.B 24.B 25.C 26.B 27.A 28.A 29.D 30.B 31.D 32.C 33.C 34.C 35.C 36.D 37.D 38.C 39.B 40.C 41.A 42.B 43.B 44.A 45.C 46.D 47.B 48.D 49.A 50.C 51.D 52.A 53.D 54.D 55.A 56.B 57.D 58.B 59.D 60.C 61.D 62.D 63.C 64.B 65.B 66.D 67.B 68.C 69.A 70.D 71.C 72.A 73.B 74.A 75.A 76.A 77.B 78.D 79.A 80.D 01.B 02.D 03.A 04.A 05.C 06.B 07.B 08.B 09.D 10.A 11.C 12.D 13.C 14.D 15.A 16.C 17.A 18.D 19.D 20.D 21.C 22.D 23.C 24.C 25.D 26.D 27.C 28.C 29.B 30.B 31.D 32.D 33.B 34.D 35.B 36.C 37.C 38.C 39.D 40.B 41.B 42.D 43.B 44.C 45.C 46.A 47.C 48.A 49.B 50.D 51.B 52.B 53.D 54.B 55.D 56.C 57.A 58.B 59.A 60.B 61.A 62.D 63.C 64.B 65.B 66.A 67.A 68.D 69.A 70.B 71.A 72.A 73.A 74.C 75.C 76.D 77.D 78.C 79.B 80.C 01.B 02.C 03.B 04.B 05.B 06.C 07.A 08.D 09.D 10.C 11.C 12.B 13.D 14.D 15.A 16.C 17.D 18.A 19.A 20.C 21.D 22.B 23.B 24.A 25.A 26.A 27.B 28.D 29.C 30.D 31.D 32.D 33.B 34.D 35.C 36.D 37.B 38.C 39.C 40.A 41.B 42.C 43.A 44.C 45.C 46.C 47.A 48.D 49.A 50.C 51.D 52.B 53.D 54.A 55.A 56.A 57.C 58.D 59.B 60.B 61.B 62.D 63.C 64.B 65.A 66.D 67.C 68.D 69.C 70.B 71.A 72.B 73.C 74.C 75.B 76.C 77.A 78.B 79.D 80.A 01.B 02.C 03.D 04.A 05.C 06.C 07.D 08.C 09.A 10.A 11.D 12.D 13.B 14.D 15.D 16.C 17.C 18.B 19.D 20.B 21.A 22.D 23.D 24.B 25.A 26.B 27.D 28.B 29.A 30.A 31.B 32.A 33.C 34.A 35.C 36.A 37.B 38.C 39.B 40.D 41.B 42.D 43.C 44.C 45.D 46.C 47.B 48.D 49.B 50.D 51.A 52.C 53.C 54.A 55.A 56.B 57.A 58.A 59.D 60.B 61.C 62.B 63.C 64.C 65.B 66.A 67.C 68.B 69.D 70.D 71.B 72.B 73.D 74.D 75.C 76.A 77.D 78.C 79.C 80.D Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 163 Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 163 ... an air pollutant under certain conditions Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration...
