A Their adaptation to different habitats B Their names C Their physical characteristics D Their variety Question 46: The word consequence in the passage is closest in meaning to "…………." A explanation B result C analysis D requirement Question 47: Butterflies are a good example for communicating information about conservation issues because they …………… A are found mainly in temperate climates B have been given scientific names C are simple in structure D are viewed positively by people Question 48: The word striking in the passage is closest in meaning to "…………… " A successful B noticeable C confusing D physical Question 49: The word exceed in the passage is closest in meaning to "……………" A come close to B locate C go beyond D allow Question 50: All of the followings are mentioned as being important parts of a general theory of diversity EXCEPT ……………… A migration among temperate and tropical zones B variation of patterns of distribution of species among different animals and plants C differences between temperate and tropical zones D patterns of distribution of species in each region Question 51: where ……… The author mentions tropical Asia in the passage as an example of a location A butterflies are affected by human populations B documenting plant species is more difficult than documenting butterfly species C butterfly behavior varies with climate D a general theory of butterfly diversity has not yet been firmly established Question 52: Which of the following is NOT well understood by biologists? A Differences in species richness between temperate and tropical regions B Comparisons of behavior patterns of butterflies and certain animal groups C European butterfly habitats D Differences in species richness within a temperate or a tropical region Question 53: The idea "little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution" is that ………… A we know about butterfly evenness distribution to some extent B we don't know anything about butterfly evenness distribution C there are many other things that we don't know about butterfly evenness distribution D we know much about butterfly evenness distribution Question 54: The word generated in the passage is closest in meaning to "……………" A caused B assisted C estimated D requested Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States But little or no notice was taken of these contributions During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged National, regional, and local women’s organizations compiled accounts of their doings Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of History, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men.” To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published Question 55: What does the passage mainly discuss? A The role of literature in early American histories B The place of American women in written histories C The keen sense of history shown by American women D.The “great women” approach to history used by American historians Question 56: The word “contemporary” in the 1st paragraph means that the history was A informative B thoughtful C written at that time D faultfinding Question 57: In the first paragraph, Bradstreet, Warren, and Adams are mentioned to show that _ A a woman’s status was changed by marriage B even the contributions of outstanding women were ignored C only three women were able to get their writing published D poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women Question 58: The word “celebratory” in the 2nd paragraph means that the writings referred to A related to parties B religious C serious D full of praise Question 59: The word “they” in the 2nd paragraph refers to A efforts B authors C counterparts D sources Question 60: In the 2nd paragraph, what weakness in nineteenth-century histories does the author point out? A They put too much emphasis on daily activities B They left out discussion of the influence of money on politics C The sources of the information they were based on were not necessarily accurate D They were printed on poor-quality paper Question 61: On the basis of information in the third paragraph, which of the following would most likely have been collected by nineteenth-century feminist organizations? A Newspaper accounts of presidential election results B Biographies of John Adams C Letters from a mother to a daughter advising her how to handle a family problem D Books about famous graduates of the country’s first college Question 62: What use was made of the nineteenth-century women’s history materials in the Schlesinger Library and the Sophia Smith Collection? A They were combined and published in a multivolume encyclopedia B They formed the basis of college courses in the nineteenth century C They provided valuable information for twentieth- century historical researchers D They were shared among women’s colleges throughout the United States Question 63: In the last paragraph, the author mentions all of the following as possible roles of nineteenth-century “great women” EXCEPT A authors B reformers C activists for women’s rights D politicians Question 64: The word “representative” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A typical B satisfied C supportive D distinctive WRITING Part I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it Question 65: This is my first game of water-polo > I have Question 66: “What time does the film start, Peter?” > I asked Question 67: Smith Ltd are supplying our company with furniture > Our company Question 68: I didn't have an umbrella with me and so I got wet > I wouldn't Question 69: It was a mistake for you to buy that car > You shouldn’t Part II In about 140 words, write a paragraph about one of the parties you have ever attended - The End ĐÁP ÁN PHẦN TRẮC NGHIỆM (8 điểm) Câu hỏi Đáp án Câu hỏi Đáp án Câu hỏi Đáp án B 23 A 45 D A 24 C 46 B D 25 B 47 D C 26 C 48 B B 27 C 49 C A 28 C 50 A C 29 C 51 D C 30 A 52 A A 31 A 53 C 10 D 32 B 54 A 11 B 33 C 55 B 12 A 34 B 56 C 13 D 35 C 57 B 14 A 36 B 58 D 15 B 37 B 59 B 16 D 38 D 60 C 17 A 39 A 61 C 18 B 40 D 62 C 19 C 41 C 63 D 20 D 42 A 64 A 21 C 43 B 22 B 44 A PHẦN VIẾT ( điểm) I (0,5 điểm) Câu 65: I have never played water-polo before Câu 66: I asked Peter what time the film started Câu 67: Our company is being supplied with furniture by Smith Ltd Câu 68: I wouldn’t have got wet if I had had an umbrella with me Câu 69: You shouldn’t have bought that car II (1.5 điểm) Mô tả tiêu chí đánh giá Điểm tối đa Bố cục 0.40 o Câu đề dẫn chủ đề mạch lạc o Bố cục hợp lí rõ ràng phù hợp yêu cầu đề o Bố cục uyển chuyển từ mở đến kết luận Phát triển ý 0.25 o Phát triển ý có trình tự logic o Có dẫn chứng, ví dụ, … đủ để bảo vệ ý kiến Sử dụng ngôn ngữ 0.30 o Sử dụng ngôn từ phù hợp nội dung o Sử dụng ngôn từ văn phong/ thể loại o Sử dụng từ nối ý cho viết uyển chuyển Nội dung 0.30 o Đủ thuyết phục người đọc o Đủ dẫn chứng, ví dụ, lập luận o Độ dài: Số từ không nhiều so với quy định 5% Ngữ pháp, dấu câu tả 0.25 o Sử dụng dấu câu o Chính tả: Viết tả _ Lỗi tả gây hiểu nhầm/ sai lệch ý bị tính lỗi (trừ 1% điểm viết) _ Cùng lỗi tả lặp lại tính lỗi o Sử dụng thời, thể, cấu trúc câu ngữ pháp (Lỗi ngữ pháp gây hiểu nhầm/ sai lệch ý bị trừ 1% điểm viết.)

– describes a society which is just too busy to sleep and which does not give sleeping the importance it deserves Modern society has invented reasons not to sleep We are now a 24/7 society where shops and services must be available all hours We spend longer hours at work than we used to, and more time getting to work Mobile phones and email allow us to stay in touch round the clock and late-night TV and the Internet tempt us away from our beds When we need more time for work or pleasure, the easy solution is to sleep less The average adult sleeps only hours a night during the week, whereas research shows that most people need eight or even eight and a half hours’ sleep to feel at their best Nowadays, many people have got used to sleeping less than they need and they live in an almost permanent state of ‘sleep debt’ Until the invention of the electric light in 1879 our daily cycle of sleep used to depend on the hours of daylight People would get up with the sun and go to bed at nightfall But nowadays our hours of sleep are mainly determined by our working hours (or our social life) and most people are woken up artificially by an alarm clock During the day caffeine, the world’s most popular drug, helps to keep us awake 75% of the world’s population habitually consume caffeine, which up to a point masks the symptoms of sleep deprivation What does a chronic lack of sleep to us? As well as making us irritable and unhappy as humans, it also reduces our motivation and ability to work This has serious implications for society in general Doctors, for example, are often chronically sleep deprived, especially when they are on ‘night call’, and may get less than three hours’ sleep Lack of sleep can seriously impair their mood, judgment, and ability to take decisions Tired engineers, in the early hours of the morning, made a series of mistakes with catastrophic results On our roads and motorways lack of sleep kills thousands of people every year Tests show that a tired driver can be just as dangerous as a drunken driver However, driving when drunk is against the law but driving when exhausted isn’t As Paul Martin says, it is very ironic that we admire people who function on very little sleep instead of criticizing them for being irresponsible Our world would be a much safer, happier place if everyone, whatever their job, slept eight hours a night New English File Upper-intermediate by Clive OXENDEN and Christina Latham-Koenig, OUP Question 3: According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE about Paul Martin?
