water 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 43 to 50 Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop Trang 4/5 – Mã đề thi 120 Luyện đề

effects No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees Question 43: The title for this

very few large animals are found in the desert Question 45: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _ A water-loving animals B the coyote and the bobcat C moist-skinned animals D many large animals Question 46: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _ A are smaller and fleeter than forest animals B live in an accommodating environment C are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest D are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world Question 47: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT _ A they sleep during the day B they dig home underground C they are noisy and aggressive D they are watchful and quiet Question 48: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means _ A wild B cunning C unmanageable D unhealthy Question 49: The word “them” means _ A animals B people C water D minutes Question 50: We can infer from the passage that _ A living things adjust to their environment B water is the basis of desert life C desert life is colorful and diverse D healthy animals live longer lives THE END Trang 5/5 – Mã đề thi 120 Luyện đề thi THPT QG 2017 môn tiếng

Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to Earth The Earth's gravity pulls it But every cloud is made of water droplets or ice crystals Why doesn't rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds? The droplets or ice crystals in clouds are exceedingly small The effect of gravity on them is minute Air currents move and lift droplets so that the net downward displacement is zero, even though the droplets are in constant motion Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft of sunlight To the casual observer, dust seems to act in a totally random fashion, moving about chaotically without fixed direction But in fact dust particles are much larger than water droplets and they finally fall The cloud droplet of average size is only 1/2500 inch in diameter It is so small that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air, and it does not fall out of moving air at alt Only when the droplet grows to a diameter of 1/125 inch or larger can it fall from the cloud The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud droplet The growth of a cloud droplet to a size large enough to fall out is the cause of rain and other forms of precipitation This important growth process is called "coalescence."

A They are balanced by the pressure of rain droplets B The effect of gravity at high altitude is random C They are kept aloft by air currents D The heat from the sun' S rays melts them Question 39: The word “visible” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A uncertain B vague C invisible D obvious Question 40: What can be inferred about drops of water larger than 1/125 inch in diameter? A They never occur B They are not affected by the force of gravity C In still air they would fall to earth D In moving air they fall at a speed of thirty-two miles per hour Question 41: In this passage, what does the term “coalescence” refer to _ A The gathering of small clouds to form larger clouds B The growth of droplets C The fall of raindrops and other precipitation D The movement of dust particles in the sunlight Question 42: What is the diameter of the average cloud droplet?

The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”) This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external world Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity To make matters more complex, not all internal body Trang 2/5 – Mã đề thi 735 Luyện đề thi THPT QG 2017 môn tiếng Anh (Đề thi thử số 4) | mrnsapro@gmail.com (Biên soạn) functions adjust at the same rate So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone Question 31: The main function of the body clock is to _ A govern all the body’s responses B regulate the body’s functions C help us sleep D help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle Question 32: The word “It” refers to _ A the programme B the body clock C the function D the brain Question 33: The word “malady” is closest in meaning to _ A illness B bore C thought D feeling Question 34: The direction you fly in _ A helps you sleep better B alters your body’s natural rhythms C affects the degree of jet lag D extends or shrinks your body clock Question 35: According to the article, _ A various factors stop us sleeping when we fly B travelers complain about the negative effects of flying C flying seriously affects your judgment and decision-making D jet lag can affect different abilities differently Question 36: On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article _ A makes no suggestion B says there is nothing you can C proposes gradually adjusting your body clock D suggests changing the time on your watch Question 37: According to the author, which of the following reasons disrupt travelers’ sleep? A Travelers try to sleep between 3-5 p.m B Travelers’ attention is reduced by 75 percent C The traveler’s internal circadian clock has to adjust to patterns of light and activity D Travelers fly in the natural direction of their internal clock Question 38: It can be inferred from the passage that _ A travelers have to spend more money flying westward than eastward B there are more travelers in westward flights than in eastward ones C westward travelers become friendlier than eastward ones D travelers not sleep as well in eastward flights as in westward ones Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on

on time, they have to leave at 6.00 a.m A They always leave for work at 6.00 a.m B Getting to work on time, for them, means leaving at 6.00 am C They have to leave very early to catch a bus to work D Leaving at 6.00 am, they have never been late for work 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 42 to 48 The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal 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 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 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 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 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) However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water 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 By Helena Gillespie and Rob Gillespie Science for Primary School Teacher OUP Question 42: 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 43: The word “outermost” in paragraph mostly means _ A the lightest B nearest to the inside C furthest from the inside D the heaviest Question 44: The atoms of a metal can bond together

Question 45: The word “they” in paragraph refers to _ A charged ions B electric currents C charged particles D electrical insulator Question 46: Water is a poor conductor because it contains _ A no

For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent The truth may even be the opposite Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects Ten month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eyecatching cartoons A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an early age Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse" Now is the time when they should be out there learning to ride a bike There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards Question 36: Children who spend a lot of time on their computers _ A not necessarily make more progress than those who don't B tend to like music and art more than those who don't C will suffer from brain damage D tend to have more accidents than those who don't Question 37: What would be an appropriate title for this passage?

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 person's 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 performer's 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 person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health Self-image 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 listener's 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 36: What does the passage mainly discuss? A The function of the voice in performance B Communication styles C The production of speech D The connection between voice and personality Question 37: What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen" in line 8-9? A Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are B The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words C A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication D Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas Question 38: The word “Here” in line refers to _ A interpersonal interactions B the tone C ideas and feelings D words chosen Question 39: 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 40: According to the passage, an overconfident front may hide _ A hostility B shyness C friendliness D strength Question 41: The word “drastically” in line 21 is closest in meaning to _ A frequently B exactly C severely D easily Trang 4/5 – Mã đề thi 259 Luyện đề thi THPT QG 2017 môn tiếng Anh (Đề thi thử số 6) | mrnsapro@gmail.com (Biên soạn) Question 42: According to the passage, what does a constricted and harsh voice indicate?
