A The arrangement of the rooms was not convenient B Most people could not afford to live there C There were no shopping areas nearby D It was in a crowded neighborhood Question 45 The word “sumptuous” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A luxurious B unique C modem D distant Question 46 It can be inferred that the majority of people who lived in New York’s first apartments were A highly educated B unemployed C wealthy D young Question 47 The word “they” in the passage refers to A fundamental problems B the Stuyvesant C modern apartment buildings D early apartment buildings Question 48 It can be inferred that a New York apartment building in the 1870’s and 1880’s had all of the following characteristics EXCEPT A Its room arrangement was not logical B It was rectangular C It was spacious inside D It had limited light Question 49 Why did the idea of living in an apartment become popular in the late 1880’s? A Large families needed housing with sufficient space B Apartments were preferable to tenements and cheaper than row houses C The city officials of “New York wanted housing that was centrally located D The shape of early apartments could accommodate a variety of interior designs Question 50 The author mentions the Dakota and the Ansonia in paragraph because A they are examples of large, well-designed apartment buildings Hocmai – Ngôi trường chung học trò Việt Tổng đài tư vấn: 1900 69 33 - Trang | - Hocmai.vn – Website học trực tuyến số Việt Nam Khóa học Luyện thi THPT quốc gia PEN - I: Môn Tiếng Anh (Cô Hương Fiona) B their design is similar to that of row houses C they were built on a single building lot D they are famous hotels (Ma trận đề kéo xuống dưới) Hocmai – Ngôi trường chung học trò Việt Tổng đài tư vấn: 1900 69 33 - Trang | - Hocmai.vn – Website học trực tuyến số Việt Nam Khóa học Luyện thi THPT quốc gia PEN - I: Môn Tiếng Anh (Cô Hương Fiona) MA TRẬN ĐỀ SỐ 08 ĐỀ PEN I 08 Chuyên đề Mức độ nhận thức Nhận biết Thông hiểu Ngữ âm Câu 1+2 Câu 3+4 Tìm lỗi sai Ngữ pháp Từ vựng Câu giao tiếp Từ đồng nghĩa Từ trái nghĩa Vận dụng Câu 5+6+7 Câu Câu 21 Câu 8+10+12 Câu 9+11 Câu 13+14+19 Câu 15+16+17+18 Câu 20 Câu 22+23 Câu 24 Câu 25 Câu đồng nghĩa Câu 26 Câu 27+28 Nối câu Câu 29+30 Điền từ Câu 31+32+33+34+35 Câu 36+39+40+41+42+ 43+46+47+49+50 Đọc hiểu Phân tích Câu 38+48 Câu 37+44+45 Câu Giáo viên: Hương Fiona Nguồn: Hocmai – Ngôi trường chung học trò Việt Tổng đài tư vấn: 1900 69 33 Hocmai - Trang | - Hocmai.vn – Website học trực tuyến số Việt Nam Khóa học Luyện thi THPT quốc gia PEN - I: Môn Tiếng Anh (Cô Hương Fiona) Hocmai – Ngôi trường chung học trò Việt Tổng đài tư vấn: 1900 69 33 - Trang | - Hocmai.vn – Website học trực tuyến số Việt Nam Khóa học Luyện thi THPT quốc gia PEN - I: Môn Tiếng Anh (Cô Hương Fiona) Hocmai – Ngôi trường chung học trò Việt Tổng đài tư vấn: 1900 69 33 - Trang | - ... trò Việt Tổng đ i tư vấn: 1900 69 33 - Trang | - Hocmai. vn – Website học trực tuyến số Việt Nam Khóa học Luyện thi THPT quốc gia PEN - I: Môn Tiếng Anh (Cô Hương Fiona) B their design is similar... not logical B It was rectangular C It was spacious inside D It had limited light Question 49 Why did the idea of living in an apartment become popular in the late 1880’s?
