A impressed B disappointed C confused D frightened Question 44 Which of the following is LEAST likely to be assumed as teens‟ role model?

Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager‟s responsibilities It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office Question 36 What is the main idea of the passage?

A The problems faced by leaders B How leadership differs in small and large groups C How social groups determine who will lead them D The role of leaders in social groups Question 44 All of the following are the ways by which people can become leaders EXCEPT A recruitment B formal election process C specific leadership training D traditional cultural patterns Question 45 When mentioning “natural leaders” in paragraph 2, the author is making the point that A few people qualify as “natural leaders” B there is no proof that “natural leaders” exist C “natural leaders‟ are easily accepted by the members of a social group D “natural leaders” share a similar set of characteristics Question 46 Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2? A A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another B Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person C A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership D Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications Question 47 The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on A ensuring harmonious relationships B identifying new leaders C sharing responsibility with group members D achieving a goal Question 48 The word “them” in paragraph refers to A expressive leaders B goals of the group C group members D tension and conflict Question 49 A “secondary relationship” mentioned in paragraph between a leader and the members of a group could best be characterized as A distant B enthusiastic C unreliable D personal Question 50 The word “resolve” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A have a discussion about B pay attention to C give an opinion on D find a solution to - The End - Page 8/16 TRƯỜNG THPT PHAN CHÂU TRINH ĐỀ THAM KHẢO ÔN TẬP THPT QUỐC GIA NĂM 2020 TỔ TIẾNG ANH Môn: TIẾNG ANH TEST 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 Question A adopted A region B recorded B project C invested C heritage D produced D respect 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 Question A attend A industry B expand B investment C honour C animal D exist D origin Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions Question Collecting books are what he enjoys doing in his free time A B C D Question Lake Superior, that lies on the US Canadian border, is the largest lake in North America A B C D Question She said that her son‟s success resulted from his big efforts, his great talent and lucky A B C D Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions Question - Would you like to go to the movies tomorrow? - Sure By then I my exam A will finish B finished C have finished D will have finished Question Their daughter‟s dream is to become student in Australia A a university B an university C the universityD some university Question 10 My dad's eyesight is getting He can hardly see a thing these days A worse and worse B the worse and the worse C worst and worst D the worst and the worst Question 11 The English teacher asked me that book A where I have bought B where have I bought C where I had bought D where had I bought Question 12 Your watch is broken Why don‟t you have it ?

Steven Spielberg‟s 2001 film A.I is the story of David, a robot-boy who can think and feel like a human The film is set in the distant future, but the idea is not as far-fetched as it may seem at first Today scientists are developing computers that are capable of interacting and communicating with humans It all started in 1950 when the British mathematician Alan Turing, who had famously helped to break German military codes during the Second World War, asked how scientists would know whether computers had successfully achieved truly artificial intelligence His suggestion was that, in order for a computer to be described as truly intelligent, it had to give replies in a conversation which could not be distinguished from a human‟s replies New Yorker Hugh Loebner was fascinated by the idea of artificial intelligence, and in the early 1990s offered $100,000 to the first program to pass the “Turing Test”, that is, to successfully fool a panel of judges into thinking it was a real person That challenge has turned into an annual competition, but despite 16 years of trying, no technology has made that breakthrough, and the grand prize remains unclaimed However, every year the judges award a prize to the computer program that comes closest to passing the test, and in 2006 the lucky winner was Joan She is just a few years old but is already very talkative Joan‟s maker, the British entrepreneur Rollo Carpenter, emerged victorious after a day of intense competition as a quartet of software experts and their creations battled it out in a blind test held at University College London The judges help typed conversations – similar to an Internet chat program – with all four of the challengers, before they declared Joan the world‟s most human computer program Question 36 Robots such as David in Spielberg‟s film A.I A are completely unrealistic B already exist C could not exist in the future D are being developed by scientists Question 37 The word “fascinated by” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A interested in B bored with C confused about D surprised at Question 38 When did the competition sponsored by Loebner begin?

A The demonstration of the manufacturing process of bio-based plastics in a lab B The way in which the cost of computers and cellular phones can be reduced C The new expected application of plant products in the future D The differences between bio-based products and petroleum-based products Question 44 According to some agricultural researchers, all of the following can be used to make plastics EXCEPT A cereal grains B wheat C spaghetti strands D soybeans Question 45 The word “malleable” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A can be easily replaced B can be changed into a new shape C can be easily broken D can be renewed after a while Question 46 The author uses the example of spaghetti strands to illustrate A one form bio-based plastic can take B possible uses of bio-based plastics C how strong bio-based plastics can be D different products of bio-based plastics Question 47 What does “the latter” in paragraph refer to? A Grain starches B Some plastics C Plant material D Soybean proteins Question 48 What are the advantages of bio-based plastics? A They will reduce the costs of computers and cellular phones B They will replace petroleum as a fuel C They will benefit the agricultural industry D They will benefit the petroleum industry Question 49 What will determine the fate of plant-based plastics?
