ĐỀ THI GỒM 80 CÂU; TỪ QUESTION 1 ĐẾN QUESTION 80 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 1 to 10 A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker. The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When speaking before a group, a persons tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are .usually discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and or gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performers skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication. Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a persons selfimage, perception of others, and emotional health. Selfimage can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the listeners receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed. Question 1.

A European butterfly habitats B Differences in species richness between temperate and tropical regions C Differences in species richness within a temperate or a tropical region D Comparisons of behavior patterns of butterflies and certain animal groups Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that expresses the best meaning formed by the given words Question 76: No/ doubt/ Alison/ promote A It’s no doubt Alison will be promoting B There’s no doubt that Alison will be promoted C There’s no doubt Alison will promote D It’s no doubt that Alison is promoted Question 77: when/ you/ make/ mind/ university/ attend?

Color directly affects your emotions Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions The color that you choose to wear either refects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you Of course they also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the one saturated with the color all day ! I even choose items around me based on their color In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for the day So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are meant to move and flow This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in motion Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body So, the fastest way to be healthy is to be open to your real feelings Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your emotions Question 61: What is the main idea of the passage? A Colors can help you become healthy B Colorful clothes can change your mood C Emotions and colors are closely related to each other D Colors are one of the most exciting Question 62: Which of the following can be affected by color?

A They are all forms of motion B None is correct C They all affect the cells of the body D They are all related to health Question 65: According to this passage, what creates disease? A Wearing the color black B Ignoring your emotions C Being open to your emotions D Exposing yourself to bright colors Question 66: The term "intimately" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A simply B clearly C closely D obviously Question 67: The term "they" in paragraph refers to A none of these B colors C people D emotions Question 68: Why does the author mention that color and emotions are both vibrations?

A to give an objective account of how colors affect emotions B to persuade the reader that colors can influence emotions and give a person more energy C to show that colors are important for a healthy life D to prove the relationship between color and emotion 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 following questions The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called "the vitamin period " Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy At that point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of deficiency symptoms Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin therapy began to fall into disrepute Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular It was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related conditions Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to chronic health problems Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss? A The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study B The history of food preferences from the nineteenth century to the present C The effects of vitamins on the human body D Nutritional practices of the nineteenth century Question 72: It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following discoveries was made during the first era in the history of nutrition? A Certain foods were found to be harmful to good health B Vitamins were synthesized from foods C Effective techniques of weight loss were determined D Protein was recognized as an essential component of diet Question 73: The word "tempting" is closest in meaning to A realistic B necessary C correct D attractive Question 74: It can be inferred from the passage that medical schools began to teach concepts of nutrition in order to A encourage medical doctors to apply concepts of nutrition in the treatment of disease B support the creation of artificial vitamins C convince doctors to conduct experimental vitamin therapies on their patients D convince medical doctors to participate in research studies on nutrition Question 75: The word "Reckless" is closest in meaning to? A recorded B irresponsible Question 76: The word "them" refers to A effects B vitamins C informative D urgent C claims D therapies Question 77: Why did vitamin therapy begin losing favor in the 1950's ? A Medical schools stopped teaching nutritional concepts B Nutritional research was of poor quality C The public lost interest in vitamins D Claims for the effectiveness of vitamin therapy were seen to be exaggerated Question 78: The phrase "concomitant with" is closest in meaning to A in dispute with B prior to C in conjunction with Question 79: The word "skyrocketing" is closest in meaning to A internationally popular B increasing rapidly C surprising D acceptable Question 80: The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses A Why nutrition education lost its appeal B Problems associated with undernutrition C The fourth era of nutrition history D How drug companies became successful - THE END D in regard to ĐỀ THI THỬ ĐẠI HỌC NĂM 2013 Môn : TIẾNG ANH; Khối: D Thời gian làm bài: 90 phút Không kể thời gian phát đề Họ tên thí sinh: ………………………………………… Số báo danh: ……………………………………………… Mã đề thi: 216 ĐỀ THI GỒM 80 CÂU; TỪ QUESTION ĐẾN QUESTION 80 Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer that best completes each unfinished sentence, substitutes the underlined part, or has a close meaning to the original one Question 1: ……… be needed, the water basin would need to be dammed B Hydroelectric power should B When hydroelectric power C Hydroelectric power D Should hydroelectric power Question 2: The replacement of shops such as the groceries’ and chemist’s by cafes………… the housewives with insufficient facilities for shopping A leave B have left C has left D to have left Question 3: Deborah is going to take extra lessons to……… what she missed while she was away A catch up on B cut down on C put up with D take up with Question 4: Jane: Thank you for a lovely evening Barbara: ……………………………… A You are welcome B Have a good day C Thanks D Cheer!

A The function of the voice in performance B Communication styles C The connection between voice and personality D The production of speech Question 42 What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen" in lines 8- 9?

A As examples of public performance B As examples of basic styles of communication C To contrast them to singing D To introduce the idea of self-image Question 46 According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice may be an indication of a person's……… A general physical health B personality C ability to communicate D vocal quality Question 47 According to the passage, an overconfident front may hide………… A hostility B shyness C friendliness D strength Question 48 The word "drastically" in line 21 is closest in meaning to…………… A frequently B exactly C severely D easily Question 49 The word "evidenced" in line 22 is closest in meaning to…………… A questioned B repeated C indicated D exaggerated Question 50 According to the passage, what does a constricted and harsh voice indicate?

A Their physical characteristics B Their adaptation to different habitats C Their names D Their variety Question 63: The author mentions tropical Asia in lines 16-17 as an example of a location where…… A butterfly behavior varies with climate B a general theory of butterfly diversity has not yet been firmly established C butterflies are affected by human populations D documenting plant species is more difficult than documenting butterfly species Question 64: The word "generated" in line 24 is closest in meaning to……… A requested B caused C assisted D estimated Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction Question 65: All of the mammals, dolphins are undoubtedly among the friendly to human A B C D Question 66: Many of the important products obtained from trees, one of the most important is A B C wood pulp, which is used in paper-making D Question 67: All nations may have to make fundamental changes in their economic, political, and A B the technological institutions if they are to preserve environment C D Question 68: Chicago's Sears Tower, now the tallest building in the world, rises 1,522 feet from the A B C ground to the top of it antenna D Question 69: It was suggested that Pedro studies the material more thoroughly before attempting A B C to pass the exam D Question 70: In just three months H.G Wells wrote the famous classic The Time Machine for what A B C he won a Newberry Caldecot award D 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 71: If it hadn’t been for his carelessness, we would have finished the work E He was careless because he hadn’t finished the work F If her were careful, we would finish the work G If he had been more careful, we would have completed the work H Because he wasn’t careless, we didn’t finish the work Question 72: The hostess made every effort to see that her guests got the food and drinks they wanted E The hostess was reluctant to offer her guests food and drinks F The hostess tried hard to please her guests G The guests refused the food and drinks prepared by the hostess H Neither the guests nor the hostess had food or drinks Question 73: The meeting was put off because of pressure of time E The meeting started earlier because people wanted to leave early F The meeting was planned to start late because of time pressure G The meeting lasted much longer than usual H There was not enough time to hold the meeting Question 74: Twice as many men as women are insurance agents E More men than women have insurance F Male insurance agents outnumber female agents G Women are twice as likely as men to have sold insurance H Insurance is twice as difficult to sell to women as to men Question 75: Most people get fewer colds in the summer than in the winter E A person is more likely to get a cold in the winter than in the summer F More people have summer colds than winter colds G People get colder in the summer than in the winter H The winter is much colder than the summer Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that expresses the best meaning formed by the given words Question 76: No/ doubt/ Alison/ promote E It’s no doubt Alison will be promoting F There’s no doubt that Alison will be promoted G There’s no doubt Alison will promote H It’s no doubt that Alison is promoted Question 77: your organization/ possible/ conference/ place E Your organization made it possible to take place this conference F Your organization made possible for this conference to take place G Your organization made it possible this conference to take place H Your organization made it possible for this conference to take place Question 78: when/ you/ make/ mind/ university/ attend?
