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

eight hours’ sleep a night, (64) teenagers require nine or ten hours According to medical experts, one in five youngsters (65) _ anything between two and five hours’ sleep a night less than their parents did at their age This (66) serious questions about whether lack of sleep is affecting children’s ability to concentrate at school The connection between sleep deprivation and lapses in memory, impaired reaction time and poor concentration is well (67) _ Research has shown that losing as little as half an hour’s sleep a night can have profound effects (68) _how children perform the next day A good night’s sleep is also crucial for teenagers because it is while they are asleep (69) they release a hormone that is essential for their ‘growth spurt’ (the period during teenage years when the body grows at a rapid rate) It’s true that they can, to some (70) , catch up on sleep at weekends, but that won’t help them when they are dropping off to sleep in class on a Friday afternoon Page 14

extent (to some extent: chừng mực đó) C level D point Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80 The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal (Question 71) Other solid material 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 (Question 72) 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 are known as a sea of electrons Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure together (Question 74) 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 Page 16 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 (Question 75) 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 or 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) (Question 77) However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water (Question 79) 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 (Question 78) By Helena Gillespie and Rob Gillespie Science for Primary School Teacher OUP Question 71: Electrical conductivity is A.one of the most important properties of metals B.one of the key properties of most solid materials C impossible for any substance when it is dissolved in water D completely impossible for silicon Question 72: According to the passage, a metal can conduct electricity due to A the absence of free

lightest B nearest to the inside C furthest from the inside (phía cùng) D the heaviest Question 74: The atoms of a metal can bond together because A the lost electrons cannot move freely in the sea of electrons B electrons can flow in a single direction C they lose all of electrons D negatively charged electrons attract positive ions Question 75: Salt in its solid state is not able to conduct electricity because Page 17 A.it has free electrons B its charged ions can flow easily C.it cannot create any charge ions D.it charged ions are not free to move Question 76: The word “they” in paragraph refers to A charged ions B electric currents C charged particles D electrical insulator Question 77: Water is a poor conductor because it contains A no positive or negative electric charge B only a small amount of fully charged particles C only a positive electric charge D only a negative electric charge Question 78: We can have problems when touching electrical devices with wet hands because A the eater itself is a good conductor of electricity B the water dissolves the salt on our skin and becomes more conductive C the water contains too many neutral molecules D the water containing no charged particles makes it more conductive Question 79: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A Pure water is much more conductive than most water we encounter every day B Graphite is a common solid substance that can conduct electricity C Salt can conduct electricity when it is molten or dissolved D Some materials are more conductive than others Question 80: Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage?
