A Different styles B Famous examples C Production D Restoration Question 46: According to the passage, what was the first step in making a panel painting? A Mixing the paint B Making ink drawings C Preparing the panel D Buying the gold leaf Question 47: The word “it” refers to A composition B Artist C Chalk D surface Question 48: The word “deliberate” is closest in meaning to A careful B Decisive C Unusual D natural Question 49: Which of the following processes produced the translucent colors found on panel paintings? A Applying many layers of paint B Joining wooden planks to form large sheets C Polishing the gesso D Covering the background with gold leaf Question 50: What characteristic of tempera paint is mentioned in the passage? A It has to be applied directly to wood B It is difficult to make C It dries quickly D It dissolves easily Question 51: The word “demanded” is closest in meaning to A ordered B required C reported D questioned Question 52: The “collective enterprise” mentioned includes all of the following EXCEPT A supplying the gold leaf B applying the paint C selling the painting D building the panels Question 53: The word “imitate” is closest in meaning to A copy B believe in C promote D illustrate Question 54: The author mentions all of the following as problems with the survival of panel paintings EXCEPT A condition B restoration C preservation D theft 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 55 to 64 Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs One alternative is to eat substitute eggs These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked They have the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called 'designer' eggs These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly They cite scientific studies to back up their claim And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level Question 55: What is the main purpose of the passage? A To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level B To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol C To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten D To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes Question 56: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases A minerals B cholesterol C canola oil D vitamins Question 57: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'? A in fact B a little C indefinitely D a lot Question 58: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs? A increasing price B decreased production C dietary changes in hens D concerns about cholesterol Question 59: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol? A 3/4 B 1/3 C 1/2 D 2/3 Question 60: The word 'portrayed' could be best replaced by which of the following? A described B destroyed C tested D studied Question 61: What is the meaning of 'back up'? A reverse B advance C block D support Question 62: What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'? A The results are blended B The results are inconclusive C The results are a composite of things D The results are mingled together Question 63: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of eggs EXCEPT? A boiled B Poached C scrambled D fried Question 64: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol? A decreasing egg intake and fat intake B increasing egg intake and fat intake C reducing egg intake but not fat intake D increasing egg intake but not fat intake SECTION B: WRITING (2 points) I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it Write your answers on your answer sheet Question 1: If you are not careful, you’ll cut yourself =>Unless ……………………………………………………………………………………… Question 2: “Don’t forget to put your name on the top of the page,” he said to her =>He reminded …………………………………………………………………………… Question 3: People say that the ship was lost with all hands on board =>The ship ……………………………………………………………………………………… Question 4: Although I love him, I can’t tolerate his impatience =>Much ……………………………………………………………………………………… Question 5: It wasn’t necessary for you to buy so many chips => You …………………………………………………………………………………………… II In about 140 words, write a paragraph about the importance of learning English ĐÁP ÁN VÀ LỜI GIẢI CHI TIẾT Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions Question 1: A introduces B Leaves C Practices D wishes Đáp án : B B đọc /s/ đáp án khác đọc /ɪz/ Question 2: A Dough B county Đáp án : A A đọc /əʊ/ đáp án khác đọc /aʊ/ C blouse D doubt Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the other three in the position of primary stress in each of the following questions Question 3: A company B Atmosphere C customer D employer Đáp án : D D trọng âm rơi vào âm 2, đáp án khác rơi vào âm Question 4: A cosmetics B luxury C protection Đáp án : B B trọng âm rơi vào âm 1, đáp án khác rơi vào âm D investment Question 5: A sensitive B compliment C vertical Đáp án : D D trọng âm rơi vào âm 2, đáp án khác rơi vào âm D assurance Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions Question 6: The picture was beautiful A she was looking B at which she was looking C at it she was looking D at that she was looking Đáp án : B B “at which she was looking at” mệnh đề phụ tính ngữ sử dụng để bổ nghĩa cho “the picture” – văn cảnh nơi hút ánh nhìn nên ta đảo trạng từ “at” lên trước “which” = “where” Question 7: I post that letter for you on my way to work?
