A Human ancestors became predominantly right-handed when they began to use tools B It is difficult to interpret the significance of anthropological evidence concerning tool use C Humans and their ancestors have been predominantly right-handed for over a million years D Human ancestors were more skilled at using both hands than modern humans Question What does the author say about Cro-Magnon paintings of hands? A Some are not very old B It is unusual to see such paintings C Many were made by children D The artists were mostly right-handed Question The word “depicted” refers to…… A written B portrayed C referred D mentioned TÀI LIỆU BỒI DƯỠNG TIẾNG ANH 10 154 Question When compared with implements “flaked with a counter-clockwise rotation” it can be inferred that “implements flaked with a clockwise motion” are……… A more common B larger C more sophisticated D older Question The word “cranial morphology” is closest in meaning to A the form of crane B the form of the body C the study of physical body D the study of the skull Question The fact that the Inuit cut meat by holding it between their teeth is significant because…… A the relationship between handedness and scratches on fossil human teeth can be verified B it emphasizes the differences between contemporary humans and their ancestors C the scratch patterns produced by stone knives vary significantly from patterns produced by modern knives D it demonstrates that ancient humans were not skilled at using tools Question The word “hemispheres” is closest in meaning to……… A differences B sides C activities D studies Question Why does the author mention Homo erectus and Habilis in line 2425? A To contrast them with modern humans B To explain when human ancestors began to make tools C To show that early humans were also predominantly right-handed D To prove that the population of Neanderthals was very large Question All of the following are mentioned as types of evidence concerning handedness EXCEPT… A ancient artwork B asymmetrical skulls C studies of tool use D fossilized hand bones Question 10 Which of the following conclusion is suggested by the evidence from cranial morphology A Differences in the hemispheres of the brain probably came about relatively recently B There may be a link between handedness and differences in the brain’s hemisphere C Left-handedness was somewhat more common among Neanderthals D Variation between the brain’s hemispheres was not evident in the skulls of Homo erectus and Homo habilis Your answers TÀI LIỆU BỒI DƯỠNG TIẾNG ANH 10 155 10 Read the following passage and answer the questions A Just beneath the Artic Circle, on a weather pummeled peninsula on the west coast of Iceland, is the small fishing town of Stykkish6lmur, home to round 1,200 people It’s one of the last places on earth you might expect to find a new installation of contemporary art Yet here, in a former library overlooking the ocean, artist Roni Horn has created her latest work B Vatnasafn, Icelandic for “Library of Water”, is a subtle, ethereal piece To create it, Horn, who has been inspired by Iceland’s jagged landscape since she first traveled there in 1975, selected 24 glaciers in the island’s uninhabited interior, often described as Europe’s last wilderness Teams of drivers then traveled to the glaciers to hack out samples of ice, which they took back to Stykkish6lmur There, Horn melted the glacial chunks and poured the water into 24 floor to ceiling glass columns in the old library C Today the translucent pillars stand in groups around the room, each one subtly different texture and color Some are milky, with sediment pooling at the base; others are pale green or soft, dove –egg blue All refract the rich golden light that comes flooding through the building whenever the snow – heavy clods recede In the dark rubber floor, Horn has embedded adjectives describing the weather in both Icelandic and English Even when the wind rants outside, Vatnasafn has a serenity that recalls the building’s former incarnation as a library D “A lot of glaciers in Iceland are melting very quickly”, says Horn, who has an apartment in Reykjavik, where an impressive retrospective of her career has just opened “We live in a troublesome time when water is becoming scare- and that’s a pretty radical thing to imagine: What’s clear, then, is that the thrust of this new work is environmental, a commentary on the ravages of global warming Vatnasafn is an archive of some of the purest water on the planet: at 3,200 square miles, the Vatnajokull ice sheet in southern Iceland is the largest in Europe But even this giant glaciers is rapidly receding Roni’s work embodies what may well be the most important issue of the twenty-first century, which is whether the way that we live our lives is globally sustainable; says James Lingwood, co-director of Artangel, the London-based nonprofit arts organization that commissioned the project E Artangel has been collaborating with avant-garde artists for years, creating projects that resonate in the mind long after they have been dismantled In 1993, Lingwood and his co-director Michael Morris worked with British sculptor Rachael Whiteread on House, her concrete cast of a nineteenth century terraced house in London’s East End Where many Artangel collaborations have involved an element of spectacle Vatnasafn, which is Artangel’s first ever project abroad, is TÀI LIỆU BỒI DƯỠNG TIẾNG ANH 10 156 a more reflective work Yet it cost more than 500,000$ to create, with most of the money donated by private benefactors Why did they wan to fund a work of art that so few people will see? F “Everything Artangel does is different; Lingwood says “Compared to some of the momentous events we’ve been involved with in London, this project will not attract many visitors But over time, I hope it will be significant to a reasonable number of people: Horn’s aquatic archive will also function as a community centre, open round the clock to residents of Stykkish6lmur “There’s a lot of numberchasing going on in the art world now; says Lingwood “Visitors numbers are used as the measure of success But I think value lies elsewhere” G Standing alone in the sunlight that bounces around Horn’s poetic installation, it’s hard to disagree: Vatnasafn provides a delicate aesthetic experience But Artangel’s role as a medium for the piece is just as important Thanks to Lingwood and Morris, many people who wouldn’t otherwise get to see it will now be aware of this resonant work Questions 1-3: Choose TWO letters A-H to answer the questions (Your answers may be given in any order) Write your answer in the numbered box Which THREE of the following statements are true of Vatnasafn, according to the text? A The building which it is in is still used as a library B Horn personally collected all the ice for the work C Its 24 columns all look exactly the same D The work of art includes some written text E The ice came from the largest ice sheet in the world F It is Artangel’s first project outside the UK G It was partly paid for by the Icelandic government H The building it is in will also have a more practical use Your answers: Question 3-10: The Reading Passage has several paragraphs, A-G Choose the correct heading for paragraphs from the list of headings below List of headings i A political and environmental message ii Difficulties raising the money iii Small but still worthwhile iv What you will experience v A history of cooperation vi Forcing us to change our views vii A highly unusual location TÀI LIỆU BỒI DƯỠNG TIẾNG ANH 10 viii ix x xi 157 Less successful without them The production process Not an ordinary medical test A tragic example Paragraph A Paragraph B Paragraph C Paragraph D Paragraph E Paragraph F 10 Paragraph G Your answers: 10 CHUYÊN ĐỀ WRITTING Ex Question 1: Rewrite the sentences using the given word(s) without changing the form Attendance at the additional evening lectures is not obligatory for students (under) -> Students _ the additional evening lectures All are eligible for the contest There is no discrimination of race and sex (regardless) -> All are eligible _ race and sex TÀI LIỆU BỒI DƯỠNG TIẾNG ANH 10 158 We were very much surprised to learn that Brian had become a monk (To) -> , Brian had become a monk Some people will anything to lose weight (lengths) -> Some people will to lose weight He didn’t mention our previous conversation at all (reference) -> He made our previous conversation Linda’s plans for a picnic have been spoilt by the weather ( fallen) -> Linda’s plans for a picnic Apparently, Sheila wasn’t listening to me ( appear) -> Sheila His irresponsibility attitude is endangering his career as a doctor (jeopardy) -> His irresponsibility _ That wasn’t what I meant at all You’ve completely misunderstood me as usual ( stick) -> That wasn’t what I meant at all You’ve _ 10 I don’t like him because he boasts a lot (mouth) -> I don’t like him because Question 2: Write a paragraph of about 150 words about the following statement: Teamwork offers a lot of benefits in the modern society Do you agree?
